The moving trolley must be cushioned to prevent it from colliding with the station facilities. Furthermore, the trolley must be caught and locked to bring it to a safe stop, ensuring the safe entry of passengers. Once the trolley begins to slide, it must be unlocked.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new buffer machine of reciprocating cableway to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the related art, in the present invention, when the trolley slides down the load-bearing rope to the station, the trolley first hits the buffer, which absorbs the longitudinal impact force at the connection of the car body, so that the trolley can stop smoothly. This setting is beneficial for absorbing the impact energy when the trolley brakes, protecting the car body structure and the facilities at the station from damage, and secondly improving the stability of the car body operation, providing comfortable play conditions for the passengers on the car. After the trolley hits the buffer, the trolley's horizontal axis enters the limit groove and pushes the striker to slide toward the rear end of the clamp body, thereby driving the upper and lower card plates to slide backward and engage, automatically locking the trolley. This design is ingenious and the trolley locks quickly. When the trolley starts, pull up the lock tip, the lock tip leaves the card slot, the slider slides forward under the elastic force of the reset spring, and the upper and lower card plates slide forward and open, completing the unlocking of the trolley. This setting has fast unlocking and locking speeds, improving the efficiency of tourists getting on and off the station. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a buffer machine for a reciprocating cable rope, including a bracket 1, buffer members 2 are provided on both sides of the bracket 1, a push-up caliper 323 is provided between the two buffer members 2, a pulley frame 5 4 is provided at the rear end of the buffer member 2, and a plurality of pulleys 5 are provided on the pulley frame 4, and the pulley 5 is in rolling connection with the load-bearing cable.
[0024] The bracket 1 includes a U-shaped part 11 and an L-shaped part 12. The U-shaped part 11 is arranged at the lower end of the L-shaped part 12 and is fixedly connected to the L-shaped part 12. The push caliper 323 is fixed to the U-shaped part 11 and the L-shaped part 12 respectively. The U-shaped part 11 is a U-shaped structure. It can withstand high pressure, support for a long time, and is easy to install and not easy to deform. Secondly, it has high tensile strength and compressive strength, and has good toughness. The L-shaped part 12 mainly plays a supporting and fixing role.
[0025] The buffer member 2 is provided with a rope hole 21 to facilitate the passage of the carrying rope.
[0026] The lower end of the U-shaped member 11 is provided with a protective cover 6, and the two ends of the protective cover 6 are provided with mounting plates 7. The protective cover 6 can be dustproof, high temperature resistant, heat resistant, wind and sand resistant, rain and snow proof, and anti-corrosion.
[0027] The push caliper 323 includes a caliper body 31, which is fixed on the U-shaped part 11 and the L-shaped part 12. A caliper 32 is provided at the front end of the caliper body 31, and an opening and closing mechanism 33 is provided on the caliper 32. The opening and closing mechanism 33 is provided with an automatic locking component 34. The caliper 32 is divided into an upper clamping plate 321 and a lower clamping plate 322. A striker 35 is provided between the upper clamping plate 321 and the lower clamping plate 322. The striker 35 passes through the caliper body 31 and is fixedly connected to the opening and closing mechanism 33. The upper clamping plate 321 and the lower clamping plate 322 are respectively rotatably connected to the opening and closing mechanism 33.
[0028] A limiting groove is formed between the upper clamping plate 321 and the lower clamping plate 322 .
[0029] The opening and closing mechanism 33 includes a slider 331, a push assembly 332, and two opening and closing pins 333. The opening and closing pins 333 are fixedly connected to the caliper body 31. The slider 331 is slidably connected to the caliper body 31. The upper and lower clamping plates 321 and 322 are respectively rotatably connected to the slider 331. The upper and lower clamping plates 321 and 322 are each formed with an opening and closing slot 8. The distance between the two opening and closing slots 8 near one end of the push assembly 332 is smaller than the distance between the other ends. The opening and closing pins 333 slide along the opening and closing slots 8. This arrangement allows the upper and lower clamping plates 321 and 322 to open when they slide forward and to close when they slide backward.
[0030] The pushing assembly 332 includes a reset spring 3321 and a push rod 3322. The slider 331 moves along the length direction of the caliper body 31. The caliper body 31 is fixedly connected to the slider 331. The two ends of the reset spring 3321 are respectively connected to the slider 331 and the caliper body 31. A card slot 33221 is opened on the push rod 3322, and the automatic locking assembly 34 extends into the card slot 33221 to form a card connection structure.
[0031] The automatic locking assembly 34 includes a locking tip 341 and a latch spring 342. The locking tip 341 is slidably connected to the pliers body 31 and inserted into the slot 33221. The two ends of the latch spring 342 are respectively connected to the locking tip 341 and the pliers body 31.
[0032] The lower end of the lock tip 341 is provided with an inclined surface 3411, and the higher end of the inclined surface 3411 is arranged close to the striker 35. When the trolley horizontal axis hits the striker 35, the inclined surface 3411 is arranged to facilitate the lock tip 341 to insert into the slot 33221 and to facilitate the lock tip 341 to prevent the push rod 3322 from moving forward.
[0033] A linear bearing is provided between the push rod 3322 and the caliper body 31. The clamping groove 33221 is provided between the two linear bearings. By providing the linear bearings, the push rod 3322 pushes forward and backward with uniform force without stagnation or abnormal sound.
[0034] In the present invention, when the trolley slides down the load-bearing cable to the station, it first strikes the buffer 2. Buffer 2 absorbs the longitudinal impact force at the connection between the vehicle body and the station, allowing the trolley to stop smoothly. This arrangement helps absorb impact energy during braking, protecting the vehicle structure and the facilities at the station from damage. It also improves the smoothness of the vehicle's operation, providing comfortable riding conditions for passengers. After the trolley strikes the buffer 2, the trolley's transverse axis enters the limit slot, pushing the striker 35 toward the rear end of the clamp body 31, thereby driving the upper and lower clamps 321 and 322 to slide backward and engage, automatically locking the trolley. This ingenious design allows for rapid locking. When the trolley starts, the locking tip 341 is pulled up, disengaging from the clamping slot 33221. The slider 331 slides forward under the elastic force of the return spring 3321, causing the upper and lower clamps 321 and 322 to slide forward and open, unlocking the trolley. This arrangement accelerates unlocking and locking, improving the efficiency of passenger boarding and disembarking.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
