[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the side of the door plate is slid up and down in the track through the pulley, and the side of the door plate is also provided with a shaft, which is rotatably connected with the wheel body of the cam. A torsional spring is also provided on the shaft, and the preset torsional force of the torsional spring can drive the wheel body to rotate, so that the protruding part of the cam is in contact with and locked by the inner wall of the track.

[0005] As a preferred, a connecting column is provided on the cam, and the steel wire rope for lifting the door plate is connected with the connecting column. The tension of the steel wire rope drives the cam to rotate against the torsional force of the torsional spring, so that the protruding part of the cam is not in contact with the inner wall of the track.

[0006] As a preferred, one end of the torsional spring is fixed on the shaft long hole, and the other end is fixed on the cylindrical boss of the cam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to further illustrate the present application, the following further detailed description is made in connection with the drawings of the preferred embodiments of the present application.

[0027] This embodiment takes the industrial lifting door as an example to introduce the main structure of the industrial lifting equipment provided by the present application. Referring to Figure 1 In the industrial lifting door 300, there are: track assembly 301, motor assembly 302, torsion spring balance system 303, door panel assembly 304, electrical control box 305. In addition, there are various devices known in the prior art, and their drawings and descriptions are omitted. In the track assembly 301, an anti-falling safety device A provided by the present application is installed.

[0028] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, the anti-falling safety device A and the guide rail pulley assembly 401 are installed on the industrial lifting door 300, and the industrial lifting door 300 is lifted through the guide rail 301.

[0029] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the anti-falling safety device A provided by the present application mainly has: two pairs of cam systems 100, and a bracket 110 for installing the cam system, a steel wire rope 200 and a cam link above the cam system 100.

[0030] Referring to Fig. 4, the cam system 100 mainly includes: a cam 101, a sawtooth polyurethane rubber 102, a torsion spring 103, a cylindrical boss 104, a steel wire rope connecting column 105, a shaft 106, a cam 101, and a sawtooth polyurethane rubber 102 for braking. The torsion spring 103 fixes the cam 101 in the original position, one end of the torsion spring 103 is fixed on the long hole of the shaft 106, and the other end is fixed on the cylindrical boss 104 of the cam 101, and the steel wire rope connecting column 105 is connected with the steel wire rope 200.

[0031] Referring to Figure 5As shown, the anti-falling safety device is composed of two pairs of upper and lower cam systems 100. The motor power pulls up the industrial lifting door 300 through the steel wire rope 200, which pulls the upper and lower cams 101 to overcome the torsional spring 103 torque, and makes the upper and lower cams 101 rotate around the shaft 106 in the direction of the arrows shown in the figure through the connecting lever 109. When the upper and lower cams 101 rotate to a certain position, the limiting rod 107 and the limiting hole 108 are in contact, at which time the upper and lower cams 101 are in a non-contact state with the track 301, and the steel wire rope 200 passes through the anti-falling safety device to make the industrial door 300 freely ascend and descend.

[0032] Referring to Figure 6 As shown, when the steel wire rope 200 breaks, the tension on the steel wire rope connecting column 105 disappears, and the upper and lower cams 101 are respectively rotated around the shaft 106 in the direction of the arrows shown in the figure by the torsional spring 103 torque through the connecting lever 109, and the serrated polyurethane rubber 102 is pressed on the guide rail 301. At the moment of the door falling, due to the friction force F generated by the serrated polyurethane rubber 102 and the guide rail 301, the upper and lower cams 101 are rotated around the shaft 106 in the direction shown in the figure, and a positive pressure P is generated on the cam 101. The positive pressure P and the friction force F interact to generate a large friction force between the serrated polyurethane rubber 102 and the track 301, so that the industrial door stops falling and plays a braking role.

[0033] The anti-falling safety device provided by the present application can generate friction between the serrated polyurethane rubber 102 and the guide rail 301 and generate a positive pressure on the cam 101, which interacts to effectively play a braking role.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that the above preferred embodiment should not be regarded as a limitation of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application should be limited by the scope defined by the claims. For ordinary skilled in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
