自動扶梯是帶有循環(huán)運行梯級，用于向上或向下傾斜輸送乘客的固定電力驅(qū)動設(shè)備。 自動扶梯由梯路（變型的板式輸送機(jī)）和兩旁的扶手（變形的帶式輸送機(jī)）組成。其主要部件有梯級、牽引鏈條及鏈輪、導(dǎo)軌系統(tǒng)、主傳動系統(tǒng)（包括電動機(jī)、減速裝置、制動器及中間傳動環(huán)節(jié)等）、驅(qū)動主軸、梯路張緊裝置、扶手系統(tǒng)、梳板、扶梯骨架和電氣系統(tǒng)等。梯級在乘客入口處作水平運動（方便乘客登梯），以后逐漸形成階梯；在接近出口處階梯逐漸消失，梯級再度作水平運動。這些運動都是由梯級主輪、輔輪分別沿不同的梯級導(dǎo)軌行走來實現(xiàn)的。 An escalator is a fixed, electrically powered device fitted with continuously circulating steps, designed for the inclined transportation of passengers either upwards or downwards. It is composed of a stepway (a modified slat conveyor) and handrails on both sides (modified belt conveyors). Its main components include steps, traction chains and sprockets, guide rail systems, main drive systems (including electric motors, reduction gearboxes, brakes, and intermediate transmission components, etc.), drive spindles, stepway tensioning devices, handrail systems, comb plates, escalator trusses, and electrical systems.At the passenger entrance, the steps move horizontally (to facilitate boarding); afterwards, they gradually form stair-like steps. Near the exit, these steps gradually flatten out and the steps resume horizontal movement again. All these movements are realized by the main and auxiliary wheels of the steps running along different step guide rails respectively.

主要為運送貨物而設(shè)計，通常有人伴隨的電梯。 載貨電梯轎廂具有長而窄的特點。以電動機(jī)為動力的垂直升降機(jī)，裝有箱狀吊艙。服務(wù)于規(guī)定樓層的固定式升降設(shè)備。它具有一個轎廂，運行在至少兩列垂直的剛性導(dǎo)軌之間。 A type of elevator primarily designed for transporting goods, usually attended by an operator. The car of a cargo elevator is featured with a long and narrow structure. It is an electric-motor-driven vertical lift equipped with a box-shaped car, serving as a fixed lifting device for designated floors. The elevator is composed of a car that travels between at least two vertical rigid guide rails.

觀光電梯一種以電動機(jī)為動力的垂直升降機(jī)，裝有箱狀吊艙，用于多層建筑乘人或載運貨物。有一面或幾面的井道壁和轎廂壁是透明材料，乘客在乘坐電梯時，可以觀看轎廂外的景物。 井道和轎廂壁至少有同一側(cè)透明，乘客可觀看轎廂外景物的電梯。主要安裝于賓館、商場、高層辦公樓場合，有一面或幾面的井道壁和轎廂壁同側(cè)是透明材料，乘客在乘坐電梯時，可以觀看轎廂外的景物。 市場上目前也有無需挖底坑和自帶井道螺桿式觀光電梯，設(shè)計簡約美觀，此類電梯在土建上沒有特別要求，對頂層高度幾乎無限制，在高層建筑的復(fù)式樓，復(fù)式公寓，均可安裝，且安裝時間短。 A sightseeing elevator is an electric-motor-driven vertical lift equipped with a box-shaped car, designed to carry passengers or transport goods in multi-storey buildings. One or more sides of both the hoistway and car walls are made of transparent materials, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenery outside the car while riding. It refers to an elevator where at least the same side of the hoistway and car walls is transparent, enabling passengers to view the scenes outside the car. Primarily installed in hotels, shopping malls and high-rise office buildings, it features transparent materials on one or more corresponding sides of the hoistway and car walls, so passengers can admire the external scenery during their ride. Currently, there are also screw-driven sightseeing elevators available on the market that do not require a pit and come with a built-in hoistway. With a sleek and elegant design, these elevators have no special civil engineering requirements and almost no restrictions on the top-floor height. They are suitable for installation in duplexes and apartment duplexes of high-rise buildings, with a short installation period.
