Vertical elevator water is mainly divided into machine room leakage, water seepage in the shaft and water accumulation in the pit. For serious water elevator, need to stop using in time, by the maintenance unit for elevator repair, confirm the safety status before put into use. In addition, the elevator involved in water is easy to cause public safety, the use of units need to be for the elevator involved in water hazards, the development of relevant emergency plans, as far as possible to reduce the occurrence of accidents and the harm caused.
The control platform of the escalator is at the lowest point of the escalator bottom, which is often at the lowest point of the surrounding buildings. In case of heavy rainfall, if the water-guide tank or water pump fails, the rainwater will accumulate in the platform for a long time, which will cause the water to submerge into the step driving chain, which will have a great impact on the lubricant and bearing on the surface of the step driving chain, and the service life of the chain will be greatly shortened. There are power sockets in the escalator steering stations, once the water is submerged in the power sockets, it will increase the risk of electric shock. Escalator metal structure in a humid environment for a long time, will be subject to water electrochemical corrosion, reduce the strength of the metal structure. Passengers encountered elevator water-related accidents, the first thing to do is to remain calm, do not panic, avoid riding, and at the same time, the elevator water-related situation to inform the maintenance unit.
