Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rope climbing tool, in particular to a rope climbing device. Background Art

[0002] Rope climbing is a common activity for people. People use ropes and the strength of their limbs to climb high and explore deep places to achieve certain goals. When climbing ropes, the static friction between the hands, feet and the ropes is closely related to the rope material, thickness and human strength. Rope climbing is a very strenuous activity. In order to save energy, people use rope climbers for auxiliary exercise. Rope climbers are light in weight and easy to carry. They are often used by people in many occasions, such as exploration and first aid.

[0003] However, the existing rope climbers have insufficient friction force when winding the rope, which results in the load weight being small and the rope climbers slipping, the rope needs to be fed manually, and there is no locking device in case of sudden power failure or sudden fall, and the operation is cumbersome. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a rope climber to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a rope climber, which can increase the load weight and prevent the rope climber from slipping by providing a rope guide assembly and a rope pressure assembly, does not require manual rope feeding, can lock the rope body in the event of a sudden power outage or a sudden fall, and is simple to operate, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The rope guide assembly of claim 1, wherein the rope inlet is provided at the top of the rope guide, and the rope outlet is provided at the bottom of the rope guide. The rope guide assembly comprises a rope groove arranged inside the shell, a rope dividing member on the outer side of the rope groove, and a rope ejecting member opened at the bottom of the rope groove, and the shell, the rope groove, the rope dividing member, and the rope ejecting member are integrally formed; a main shaft is movably connected to the middle position of the rope groove, and one end of the main shaft is connected to a driving mechanism, the outer side surface of the main shaft is fixedly connected to a gear, and a gap space is formed between the gear and the inner wall of the rope groove; the rope pressing assembly comprises a rope pressing wheel, a top rope wheel, a tension spring and a pressure plate, and the pressure plate is movably connected to one side of the rope groove, the top rope wheel is movably connected to the top of the pressure plate, the rope pressing wheel is movably connected to the bottom end of the pressure plate, the outer side surface of the rope groove is provided with a notch for the rope pressing wheel to move, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively fixedly connected to the shell and the top rope wheel.

[0007] By setting up the guide rope assembly and the rope pressing assembly, the load weight can be increased and the rope climber can be prevented from slipping. There is no need to manually feed the rope. The rope body can be locked in the event of a sudden power outage or a sudden fall, and the operation is simple.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, it also includes an auxiliary wheel, which is movably connected to one side of the ejecting rope member, and the outer side surface of the auxiliary wheel is in contact with the bottom opening of the rope groove.

[0009] When the rope climber is in working condition, the auxiliary wheels can provide a support point. When the rope body slides on the auxiliary wheels, the auxiliary wheels are driven to reduce the wear of the rope body.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of mounting holes are opened on the side of the pressure plate, a mounting shaft is penetrated through one of the mounting holes, and one end of the mounting shaft is fixed inside the shell.

[0011] The pressure intensity of the rope pressing wheel can be adjusted at will by adjusting different installation holes of the installation shaft on the pressure plate.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a U-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent teeth of the gear.

[0013] The U-shaped groove holds the rope body and brings it into the rope groove. Holding the rope body by the groove between the two teeth of the gear can not only make the rope body run stably, but also form a meshing state with the rope pressing wheel when locked.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: the driving mechanism includes a motor fixed to a side surface of the housing, and the output end of the motor is connected to the main shaft.

[0015] The operation of the motor drives the main shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gears to rotate to automatically climb the rope.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: a cover plate is detachably fixed to a side of the housing away from the driving mechanism, and a plurality of through holes are formed between the cover plate and the side of the housing.

[0017] The through hole allows the rope climber to be quickly installed on other machines and is also easy to disassemble.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: a drainage port is provided at the bottom end of the side surface of the shell, and waterproof glue is provided at the connection of the shell.

[0019] This configuration ensures that the housing is waterproof and water-resistant.

[0020] As a further solution of the present invention: the rope climber is automatically locked to form a safety lock in an emergency situation through the rope pressing assembly.

[0021] This arrangement further ensures the safety of the rope climber.

[0022] As a further solution of the present invention: it also includes a first inductive sensor and an external central processor, wherein the first inductive sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the rope inlet, and the first inductive sensor and the external central processor are communicatively connected.

[0023] The rope body first enters the rope inlet and touches the first induction sensor of the rope inlet. The central processing unit receives the signal, starts timing and starts the motor to rotate the main shaft and drive the gear. When the rope body is about to enter the rope groove, the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear buckles the rope body and brings the rope body into the rope groove. The U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear can make the rope body tightly buckled on the gear without slipping, thereby realizing fast and automatic rope winding and detecting whether the rope is fed.

[0024] As a further solution of the present invention: it also includes a second inductive sensor, and the second inductive sensor is fixedly connected to one side of the top end of the rope outlet.

[0025] When the rope touches the second induction sensor at the rope outlet, the CPU receives a signal and stops the motor within a certain period of time. At this time, the rope just leads out of the rope climber and the rope is sent. On the contrary, when the CPU sends a rope exit signal (reverse signal), the motor starts to reverse and passes the second induction sensor at the rope outlet. If the second induction sensor at the rope outlet is not touched, the CPU receives a signal and starts timing. According to the data obtained, it stops rotating after a certain period of time. At this time, the rope retreats to the position where it just enters the rope groove, and the rope can be pulled out to complete the rope withdrawal.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The guide rope assembly and the rope pressure assembly can increase the load weight and prevent the rope climber from slipping. There is no need to manually feed the rope. The rope body can be locked in the event of a sudden power outage or a sudden fall, and the operation is simple.

[0028] 2. Through the auxiliary wheels, when the rope climber is in working state, the auxiliary wheels can provide support points. When the rope body slides on the auxiliary wheels, the auxiliary wheels are driven to reduce the wear of the rope body.

[0029] 3. A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the side of the pressure plate. By adjusting the mounting shaft in different mounting holes on the pressure plate, the pressure strength of the rope pressing wheel can be adjusted at will.

[0030] 4. A U-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent teeth of the gear. The U-shaped groove holds the rope and brings it into the rope groove. Holding the rope through the groove between the two teeth of the gear can not only make the rope run stably, but also form a meshing state with the rope pressure wheel when locking.

[0031] 5. Through the multiple through holes, the rope climber can be quickly installed on other machines and is also easy to disassemble.

[0032] 6. By setting up the first induction sensor, the second induction sensor and the central processor, the rope climber can achieve rapid entry and exit of the rope, effectively improve the work efficiency of the rope climber, and can also detect whether the rope is entering or exiting.

[0033] 7. To solve the problem of complicated and cumbersome existing rope climbing structure, the rope groove, rope dividing parts, rope ejecting parts and shell of the original rope climber are integrated into one, which is beneficial to long-term use and reduces maintenance frequency, thus extending the service life of the rope climber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4In an embodiment of the present invention, a rope climber includes a housing 1, a rope guide assembly disposed inside the housing 1, and a rope pressing assembly on one side of the rope guide assembly. A rope inlet 2 for introducing a rope body is provided at the top of the housing 1, and a rope outlet 8 for leading out the rope body is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The rope guide assembly includes a rope groove 12 disposed inside the housing 1, a rope splitting member 11 on the outer side of the rope groove 12, and a rope ejecting member 13 opened at the bottom end of the rope groove 12, and the housing 1 is integrally formed with the rope groove 12, the rope splitting member 11, and the rope ejecting member 13. Among them, the rope groove 12 is a groove for the rope body to run in the rope climber, the rope splitting member 11 facilitates the rope body to change the groove in the rope groove 12, and the rope ejecting member 13 can separate the rope body in the rope groove 12. A main shaft 6 is movably connected to the middle position inside the rope groove 12, and one end of the main shaft 6 is connected to the driving mechanism, a gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft 6, and a gap space is formed between the gear 7 and the inner wall of the rope groove 12. The rope pressing assembly includes a rope pressing wheel 5, a top rope wheel 3, a tension spring 16 and a pressure plate 4, and the pressure plate 4 is movably connected to one side of the rope groove 12, the top rope wheel 3 is movably connected to the top of the pressure plate 4, and the rope pressing wheel 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 4. The outer side of the rope groove 12 is provided with a notch for the rope pressing wheel 5 to move, and the two ends of the tension spring 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the housing 1 and the top rope wheel 3. By setting the guide rope assembly and the rope pressing assembly, the load weight can be increased and the rope climber can be prevented from slipping. There is no need to manually feed the rope. In the case of a sudden power failure or a sudden fall, the rope body can be locked, and the operation is simple. The housing 1 is a structure with both front and back sides integrated, and the rope groove 12 is ringed on the front and back sides of the center of the housing 1 like a thread.

[0040] exist Figure 1 Middle: A cover plate 18 is detachably fixed to a side of the housing 1 away from the driving mechanism, and a plurality of through holes 17 are provided between the cover plate 18 and the side of the housing 1. The rope climber can be quickly installed on other machines through the through holes 17, and is also convenient to disassemble.

[0041] exist Figure 2Middle: A U-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent teeth of the gear 7. The U-shaped groove holds the rope body and brings it into the rope groove 12. The rope body is held by the groove between the two teeth of the gear 7, which not only allows the rope body to run stably, but also forms a meshing state with the rope pressing wheel 5 when locked. The driving mechanism includes a motor 9 fixed to one side of the housing 1, and the output end of the motor 9 is connected to the main shaft 6. The operation of the motor 9 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate, and then drives the gear 7 to rotate and climb the rope automatically. The distance between the two teeth of the gear 7, the number of teeth of the gear 7, and the height of the teeth of the gear 7 can be calculated according to the formula. When the rope body enters the rope groove 12, the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 holds the rope body, which can make the rope body run stably, and the size of the rope pressing wheel 5 calculated by the formula, when the rope body is at the rope pressing wheel 5, because the rope body supports the top rope wheel 3, under the action of the lever, the rope pressing wheel 5 presses toward the rope body, at this time, the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 forms a meshing state with the rope pressing wheel 5, which can make the rope climber urgently tightened. When the rope climber is loaded or unloaded, the rope climber itself has a certain weight and is affected by gravity, so the rope body will press against the top rope wheel 3, and due to the leverage, the rope pressing wheel 5 will further press the rope body. A drainage port is provided at the bottom end of the side of the outer shell 1, and waterproof glue is provided at the connection of the outer shell 1. This arrangement ensures that the outer shell 1 has waterproof and drainage functions. The rope climber automatically locks to form a safety lock through the rope pressing assembly in an emergency situation, and the emergency situation includes power failure, impact, load, and overload work, thereby further ensuring the safety of the rope climber. Specifically: the rope body is pressed by the rope pressing wheel 5 and the gear 7. When the rope climber suddenly falls, the tension of the rope body presses against the top rope wheel 3. Due to the leverage, the rope pressing wheel 5 will press the rope body, so that the groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 is meshed with the rope pressing wheel 5, completing the emergency compression.

[0042] exist Figure 3 Middle: The rope climber also includes an auxiliary wheel 14, which is movably connected to one side of the ejecting rope member 13, and the outer side of the auxiliary wheel 14 contacts the bottom opening of the rope groove 12. When the rope climber is in working state, the auxiliary wheel 14 can provide a support point, and when the rope body slides on the auxiliary wheel 14, the auxiliary wheel 14 is driven to reduce the wear of the rope body.

[0043] exist Figure 4 Middle: A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the side of the pressing plate 4, a mounting shaft is provided through one mounting hole, and one end of the mounting shaft is fixed inside the housing 1. By adjusting the different mounting holes of the mounting shaft on the pressing plate 4, the pressure strength of the rope pressing wheel 5 can be adjusted at will.

[0044] On the basis of the above schemes, the rope climber also includes a first inductive sensor 10 and an external central processor. The first inductive sensor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the rope inlet 2, and the first inductive sensor 10 and the external central processor are connected in communication. The rope body first enters the rope inlet 2 and touches the first inductive sensor 10 of the rope inlet 2. The central processor receives the signal, starts timing and starts the motor 9, so that the main shaft 6 rotates and drives the gear 7. When the rope body is about to enter the rope groove 12, the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 buckles the rope body and brings the rope body into the rope groove 12. The U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 can make the rope body tightly buckled on the gear 7 without slipping, thereby realizing rapid and automatic rope climbing and detecting whether the rope is fed. Furthermore, the rope climber also includes a second inductive sensor 15, which is fixedly connected to one side of the top end of the rope outlet 8. When the rope body touches the second inductive sensor 15 of the rope outlet 8, the central processor receives the signal and stops the motor 9 from rotating within a certain period of time. At this time, the rope body just leads out of the rope climber and completes the rope feeding. On the contrary, when the central processing unit sends a reverse signal for withdrawing the rope body, the motor 9 is started to reverse, and the second induction sensor 15 of the rope outlet 8 is not touched. The central processing unit receives the signal and starts timing. According to the obtained data, it stops rotating after a certain period of time. At this time, the rope body retreats to the position where it just enters the rope groove 12, and the rope body can be pulled out to complete the rope withdrawal.

[0045] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, first, the rope enters the rope climber through the rope inlet 2, passes through the top rope wheel 3, and the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 can buckle the rope and bring it into the rope groove 12, then pass through the rope splitting member 11, the rope pressing wheel 5, the rope ejecting member 13, the auxiliary wheel 14, and finally lead out through the rope outlet 8. When it is about to reach the rope pressing wheel 5, due to the action of the tension spring 16, the rope pressing wheel 5 is in a compressed state at this time, and the rope will knock open the rope pressing wheel 5 when passing through. After passing, due to the compressed state of the rope pressing wheel 5, a stable rope running state can be provided. When the rope climber is in a working state, the auxiliary wheel 14 can provide a support point. When the rope slides on the auxiliary wheel 14, it drives the auxiliary wheel 14, which can reduce the wear of the rope.

[0046] In addition, the rope climber can quickly and automatically enter and exit the rope, specifically: using the first induction sensor 10 and the second induction sensor 15, the time taken for the rope body to enter the rope climber and exit the rope climber can be calculated according to the formula based on the circumference of the rope groove 12 and the distance between the two induction sensors and the rotation speed of the gear 7. The rope body first enters the rope inlet 2 and touches the first induction sensor 10 of the rope inlet 2. The central processing unit receives the signal, starts timing and starts the motor 9 to rotate the main shaft 6 and drive the gear 7. When the rope body is about to enter the rope groove 12, the U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 buckles the rope body and brings the rope body into the rope groove 12. The U-shaped groove between the two teeth of the gear 7 can make the rope body tightly buckled on the gear 7 without slipping. When the rope body touches the second induction sensor 15 of the rope outlet 8, the central processing unit receives the signal and stops the rotation of the motor 9 within a certain period of time. At this time, the rope body is just led out of the rope climber to complete the rope feeding. On the contrary, when the central processing unit sends a signal to withdraw the rope, that is, a reversal signal, the motor 9 is started to reverse and passes through the second induction sensor 15 of the rope outlet 8. The second induction sensor 15 of the rope outlet 8 is not touched, and the central processing unit receives the signal and starts timing. According to the obtained data, after a certain period of time, the rotation stops. At this time, the rope retreats to the position where it just enters the rope groove 12, and the rope can be pulled out to complete the rope withdrawal.

[0047] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
