In order to ensure the safe operation of the escalator,the step as a part of transporting passengers,the design will consider a high safety factor,which will increase the weight,the manufacturing cost,and the energy consumption of the steps band operation.Therefore,in order to reduce the weight and ensure the strength and stiffness of the step,through the optimization design,the number of reinforcing rib supports of the step tread plate and riser plate is increased,and the thickness of the step tread plate and riser plate is moderately reduced,so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the weight of the step and reducing the manufacturing cost and operating energy consumption.Through the finite element analysis and testing of the new type step design,Its strength and stiffness fully meet the requirements of GB 16899-2011 and EN 115-1:2017 standards,and the breaking force also meets the industry standards,so that the manufacturing and operating costs of the product can be reduced to improve the competitiveness of the product market.
