Under what circumstances should the escalator auxiliary brake be activated?
1 Answers
When the speed exceeds 1.4 times the rated speed, or when the steps, pallets, or belts change their designated direction of operation. Working principle of the escalator auxiliary brake: The escalator auxiliary brake generally consists of a brake electrical switch, a brake iron block, and an auxiliary brake wheel. The auxiliary brake wheel is installed on one side of the main drive wheel. Its structure is a large round wheel with 8 evenly distributed teeth, and the entire wheel rotates along with the main drive wheel. Function of the escalator auxiliary brake: In the event of the aforementioned accidents, the auxiliary brake plays a decisive role. When an accident occurs, a signal is immediately transmitted to the electrical switch of the auxiliary brake, cutting off the power to achieve braking. As mentioned above, the iron block quickly drops onto the teeth of the auxiliary brake wheel, locking the wheel to achieve braking.
