Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ladders for tunnel entrances and exits, and in particular relates to a telescopic ladder for an electric power tunnel entrance and exit. Background Art

[0002] At present, the ladders at the entrances and exits of domestic power tunnels are all ordinary vertical ladders. When entering from the wellhead, you need to hold the well edge on the ground, step on the ladder step by step, and then descend to the bottom of the tunnel. This design has been used for many years. With the increasing number of equipment in the tunnel, the requirements for daily inspections are constantly increasing, so entering and exiting the wellhead has become normalized. As an important carrying tool for the entrance and exit, the ladder has many problems, causing inconvenience in work.

[0003] At present, there are several problems with the entrance and exit ladders:

[0004] 1. When the ground is wet and slippery after rain or snow, your hands may slip easily, causing safety risks;

[0005] 2. When climbing out of the well, in the final stage of climbing out, since there is no hand support, people need to use both hands to support both sides to climb out. This is laborious and can easily cause a fall due to insufficient hand strength;

[0006] 3. Due to the mass production, there is no customized production after measuring the wellhead depth. Therefore, many wellheads have different depths, causing the ladder to be too high from the bottom of the well, causing safety risks.

[0007] 4. According to safety regulations, when the wellhead is open, a fence must be set up at the wellhead and a conspicuous sign must be placed for reminder. Such equipment needs to be carried extra, so each inspection must be equipped with a vehicle, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0008] Therefore, providing a new telescopic ladder for the entrance and exit of a power tunnel is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the background technology and provide a telescopic ladder for the entrance and exit of a power tunnel.

[0010] The present invention provides a telescopic ladder for an entrance and exit of a power tunnel, comprising a fixed-section ladder, a telescopic-section ladder and a supporting section;

[0011] The telescopic section ladder is rotatably connected to the supporting section via a folding joint lock;

[0012] The fixed section ladder is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic section ladder and the supporting section, and is slidably connected to the telescopic section ladder;

[0013] A groove is provided on one side of the support section facing the telescopic section ladder, a transverse support rod is arranged in the groove, and the transverse support rod is connected to the support section via a rotating shaft.

[0014] A further solution is that the fixed section ladder includes

[0015] Two fixed columns and a fixed ladder connected to the fixed columns;

[0016] The fixed ladder is provided with grooves for embedding the telescopic ladder section and the supporting section.

[0017] A further solution is that the telescopic ladder comprises:

[0018] Two vertical square tubes, used for sliding connection with the fixed section ladder; and

[0019] A plurality of short horizontal tubes for climbing are arranged between the vertical square tubes, and the two ends of the short horizontal tubes are respectively fixedly connected to the two vertical square tubes;

[0020] Each of the vertical square tubes is provided with a vertical sliding rod on one side away from the horizontal short tube;

[0021] The fixed section ladder is provided with a track relative to the inner wall;

[0022] The slide bar is located in the track.

[0023] A further solution is that a plurality of spring latches are provided on a side of each vertical square tube away from the horizontal short tube;

[0024] The fixed section ladder is provided with limit holes at positions corresponding to the inner wall, the number of which is the same as the number of the spring latches;

[0025] When the telescopic ladder is extended to a fixed height, the spring latch is inserted into the limiting hole to fix the telescopic ladder.

[0026] A further solution is that the support section includes two support rods arranged in parallel;

[0027] A limiting column is arranged on one side of one of the support rods away from the telescopic ladder, and a mounting groove is provided on the other side of the square steel support rod away from the telescopic ladder, a stopper is arranged in the mounting groove, one end of the stopper rod is rotatably connected to the support section, and a bayonet is arranged on one end of the stopper rod;

[0028] The limiting column and the blocking rod together constitute an anti-mistaken entry component.

[0029] A further solution is that a solar panel and a warning light are arranged on the top of the telescopic ladder, and the solar panel and the warning light are electrically connected. The warning light is a flashing light.

[0030] A further solution is that a reflective strip is provided on the front side of the telescopic ladder, and the reflective strip is bonded to the telescopic ladder.

[0031] Preferably, a lifting device is provided at the top of the telescopic ladder to control the extension and retraction of the spring latch;

[0032] The end of the spring bayonet is fixed by a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected with a steel wire rope;

[0033] A first pulley and a second pulley are fixedly arranged in each vertical square tube, and a third pulley is arranged in the top transverse short tube of the spring bayonet;

[0034] The steel wire rope is sequentially wound around the first pulley, the second pulley and the third pulley;

[0035] The top end of the steel wire rope is connected to the lifting device. By pulling the lifting device, the steel wire rope is driven to rotate along the third pulley, the second pulley and the first pulley respectively, thereby driving the connecting rod to move rightward / leftward, pulling the pin head of the spring latch pin to a suitable position (limiting hole), releasing the lifting device so that the pin head is stuck in the limiting hole.

[0036] Preferably, a push switch is provided in the installation slot, and the blocking rod is rotatably connected to the push switch. When the blocking rod does not need to be taken out, the push switch is in a closed state, and at this time, the top of the push switch is lower than the upper surface of the installation slot. When the blocking rod needs to be clamped on the limit column, the push switch is turned on, and the push switch drives the blocking rod to pop up, so that the blocking rod is higher than the upper surface of the installation slot. By rotating the blocking rod position, the blocking rod is clamped on the limit column, which plays a role in preventing accidental entry.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] (1) The present invention is provided with a telescopic ladder, which can be raised from the well to the part above the ground. When not in use, it is built into the fixed ladder.

[0039] (2) The present invention is provided with a support section and a transverse support rod, which can ensure that the telescopic section ladder can remain stable after it is raised above the ground. By using the triangular stability theory, the support section is used to support the telescopic section to form a triangular structure to keep the telescopic section as a whole from displacement and shaking.

[0040] (3) The anti-accidental entry assembly of the present invention can be manually closed after the construction personnel go down the well, thereby sealing off the wellhead area to prevent accidental entry and falling.

[0041] (4) The night light warning component adopts a solar battery flashing light design. The flashing light is installed on the top of the telescopic section. When the telescopic section rises to the well surface, the light automatically charges the light, so that the warning light flashes, which plays a safety and warning role.

[0042] (5) The present invention can form a complete reflective warning effect at night by bonding reflective strips above the ground, thereby improving nighttime work safety.

[0043] (6) The present invention embeds the transverse support rod inside the support section. When not in use, the transverse support rod can be stored in the support section, which reduces the volume of the present invention and is easy to carry. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] Example 1

[0059] 3. If Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a telescopic ladder for the entrance and exit of a power tunnel, comprising a fixed section ladder 1, a telescopic section ladder 2 and a support section 3; the fixed section ladder 1 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic section ladder 2 and is slidably connected to the telescopic section ladder 2; the telescopic section ladder 2 and the support section 3 are rotatably connected through a folding joint lock 4; the support section 3 is provided with a groove on one side facing the telescopic section ladder 2, a transverse support rod 9 is provided in the groove, and the transverse support rod 9 is connected to the support section 3 through a rotating shaft 12. The fixed section ladder 1 comprises two fixed columns 21 and a fixed ladder 22 connected to the fixed columns; the fixed ladder 22 is provided with a groove for the telescopic section ladder 2 and the support section 3 to be embedded.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic ladder 2 includes: two vertical square tubes for sliding connection with the fixed ladder 1; and a plurality of short horizontal tubes arranged between the vertical square tubes for climbing; a slide bar 6 is arranged on the outside of each vertical square tube; a track 11 is arranged on the inside of the fixed ladder 1; the slide bar 6 is slidably connected with the track 11, and the telescopic ladder 2 can be extended and retracted in the fixed ladder 1 by adopting the drawer principle, and a spring bayonet 13 is arranged on the outside of each vertical square tube; a limiting hole 7 is provided at the corresponding position of the inner side of the fixed ladder 1; the cooperation of the spring bayonet 13 and the limiting hole 7 can ensure that the telescopic ladder 2 is extended to a specified height. When the telescopic ladder 2 is extended to a fixed height, the spring bayonet 13 is inserted into the limiting hole 7 to fix the telescopic ladder 2.

[0061] Continue to see Figure 3 The support section 3 is composed of two square steels; a limiting column 5 is arranged on the front of one of the square steels, and a mounting groove 8 is opened on the front of the other square steel, and a blocking rod 14 is arranged in the mounting groove 8; the limiting column 5 and the blocking rod 14 together constitute an anti-mistaken entry component.

[0062] In this embodiment, a solar panel and a warning light 10 are provided on the top of the telescopic ladder 2, and the solar panel and the warning light 10 are electrically connected. The warning light 10 is a flashing light.
