[0082] The self-locking device is a self-locking device, which is often used for the sliding and locking of equipment on vertical tracks. Vertical guide rails are arranged and installed in the UHV transmission line engineering tower to provide safety protection for personnel going up and down the tower; cross arms are arranged in the horizontal direction of the engineering tower, and the cross arms can be made of steel strands or horizontal guide rails. There are many operating situations when operators are carrying out maintenance work on the UHV transmission line engineering tower, including climbing from the bottom of the tower through the self-locking device along the vertical guide rail to the cross arm position in the middle of the tower, and then turning to the cross arm to work; and moving along the conductor to another tower position to work, and then descending the tower from the vertical guide rail after the work is completed.

[0083] The currently commonly used self-locking devices cannot be applied to all the above-mentioned working conditions. Operators need to prepare a variety of self-locking devices and select different self-locking devices according to different working environments. At the same time, they cannot respond quickly to temporary emergency tasks.

[0084] In this embodiment, a self-locking device is involved, which can cope with various operating conditions. It can be easily disassembled from the vertical guide rail, and can also automatically reset the self-locking device when it is moved from the horizontal guide rail to the vertical guide rail, thereby improving the versatility of the self-locking device.

[0085] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the self-locking device includes a main body unit 100 , a cam unit 200 , a locking block unit 300 and a locking clip spring unit 400 .

[0086] In order to enable the self-locking device to be easily removed from the guide rail and easily reinstalled on another guide rail, the locking block unit 300 is designed to include two locking block assemblies 310 , and the two locking block assemblies 310 are slidably connected to both sides of the main unit 100 .

[0087] The locking clip unit 400 is designed to include two locking clip assemblies 410 . The two locking clip assemblies 410 can be respectively located at the locking block assemblies 310 on both sides away from the main unit 100 , thereby releasing the position lock between the two locking clip assemblies 410 and the main unit 100 .

[0088] Pushing the two locking block assemblies 310 respectively toward the main unit 100 can push the two locking clip spring assemblies 410 to move closer to the main unit 100 until the two locking clip spring assemblies 410 are locked in position with the main unit 100 .

[0089] In this embodiment, a through locking hole 110 is opened in the horizontal direction on the main unit 100 , and the through locking hole 110 is used to install two locking clip spring assemblies 410 . The two locking clip spring assemblies 410 are slidably connected in the through locking hole 110 .

[0090] In this embodiment, the locking hole unit 300 further includes a locking spring actuating assembly 420. The locking spring actuating assembly 420 pushes the two locking block assemblies 310 to release the position lock with the main unit 100 and makes the two locking hole assemblies 310 move away from the main unit 100.

[0091] In order to install the locking spring starting assembly 420 , a connecting hole 120 is opened on the main unit 100 .

[0092] The connecting hole 120 is communicated with the through locking hole 110 .

[0093] The locking clip spring actuating assembly 420 passes through the connecting hole 120 to push the two locking clip spring assemblies 410 that are slidably connected in the penetrating locking hole 110 .

[0094] In this embodiment, the locking clip assembly 410 includes a locking clip sleeve 411 and a locking clip spring piece 412 .

[0095] The two locking spring sleeves 411 are respectively installed in the through locking hole 110 from both ends of the through locking hole 110 .

[0096] One end of the locking spring sleeve 411 away from the main unit 100 is connected to the adjacent locking block assembly 310 via a bolt.

[0097] A first guide groove 4111 is formed on the locking circlip sleeve 411 and extends from a position close to the center of the main unit 100 along the length direction of the locking circlip sleeve 411 .

[0098] A locking portion 4121 is formed on the end of the locking clip spring piece 412 close to the center of the main unit 100 , and a pushing portion 4122 is formed on the end away from the center of the main unit 100 .

[0099] The two locking portions 4121 are located at the connection point between the connecting hole 120 and the through locking hole 110 .

[0100] An annular retaining ring 121 is formed on the inner wall of the connecting hole 120 , and the connecting hole 120 is connected with the through locking hole 110 after passing through the annular retaining ring 121 .

[0101] Second guide grooves 1211 are formed on the annular retaining ring 121 at positions corresponding to the two first guide grooves 4111 .

[0102] After the locking portion 4121 passes through the first guide groove 4111 and extends out of the locking spring sleeve 411 , and then passes through the second guide groove 1211 , the locking portion 4121 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole 120 , thereby locking the locking spring leaf 412 and the main unit 100 in position.

[0103] In this embodiment, the locking spring starting assembly 420 includes a starting button 421 and a return spring 422 .

[0104] An annular stopper 4211 is formed in the middle of the start button 421. The return spring 422 is sleeved outside the start button 421 from the lower end of the start button 421, and the upper end of the return spring 422 abuts against the annular stopper 4211. The lower end of the return spring 422 is on the annular stop ring 121.

[0105] The lower end of the start button 421 extends from the annular stopper 4211 into the through locking hole 110. After the operator presses the start button 421, the lower end of the start button 421 abuts against the two locking parts 4121 and pushes the locking parts 4121 and the main unit 100 to unlock.

[0106] After unlocking, the two locking spring pieces 412 move to both sides, and the pushers 4122 on both sides push the locking block assemblies 310 on both sides respectively. The two locking block assemblies 310 move away from the center of the main unit 100 relative to the main unit 100.

[0107] In order to enable the locking block assembly 310 to pop out relative to both sides of the main unit 100 , the locking block assembly 310 includes a locking block 311 and a plurality of locking block springs 312 .

[0108] The locking block spring 312 is installed between the locking block 311 and the main unit 100 . When the locking block 311 is away from the center of the main unit 100 relative to the main unit 100 , the locking block spring 312 pushes the locking block 311 to pop out.

[0109] Specifically, the plurality of locking block springs 312 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main unit 100 .

[0110] In this embodiment, in order to install the locking block spring 312 , first connecting holes 140 for the locking block spring are provided at intervals on both sides of the main unit 100 .

[0111] The locking block spring 312 is installed in the first locking block spring connection hole 140 , and two ends of the locking block spring 312 are connected to the first locking block spring connection hole 140 and the locking block 311 respectively.

[0112] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the sliding connection between the locking block 311 and the main unit 100, a third guide groove 3111 is provided along the length direction of the locking block 311 on the side close to the main unit 100, and a first stopper 3112 is provided on the side of the third guide groove 3111 close to the center of the main unit 100. First guide rails 130 are extended along the length direction of both sides of the main unit 100, and a second stopper 131 is extended to form on the side of the first guide rail 130 away from the main unit 100.

[0113] The first guide rail 130 is installed in the third guide groove 3111, and the second stopper 131 is located in the third guide groove 3111. The first stopper 3112 can prevent the second stopper 131 from sliding out of the third guide groove 3111, thereby playing the role of locking the relative position between the block 311 and the main unit 100.

[0114] Specifically, the first connecting hole 140 of the locking block spring is provided on the third guide groove 3111 .

[0115] The first connecting hole 140 of the locking block spring is formed on the first guide rail 130 .

[0116] In order to achieve the connection between the locking block 311 and the guide rail, a sliding groove 3113 is provided on a side of the locking block 311 close to the main unit 100 .

[0117] The sliding grooves 3113 provided on the two locking blocks 311 can move along the guide rails.

[0118] In order to reduce the friction between the two locking blocks 311 and the sliding groove 3113 , a first guide wheel 3114 and a second guide wheel 3115 are rotatably connected to the side of the sliding groove 3113 .

[0119] The first guide wheel 3114 and the second guide wheel 3115 can rotate along the guide rail.

[0120] A limiting portion 3116 is formed on the first guide wheel 3114 , and the limiting portion 3116 contacts the inner side surface of the guide rail.

[0121] A third guide wheel 150 is rotatably connected to a surface of the main unit 100 close to the guide rail, and the third guide wheel 150 is in rolling contact with the outer side surface of the guide rail.

[0122] In order to enable the operator to move smoothly along the horizontal guide rail, and after passing through the diverter and moving to the vertical guide rail, the self-locking device can realize the automatic recovery locking function.

[0123] like Figure 8 , Fig.10 As shown, a first through-pin shaft hole 160 is opened on the main body unit 100 , and a first key groove 161 is formed on the first through-pin shaft hole 160 .

[0124] The first key groove 161 is extended along the axial direction of the first through pin hole 160 .

[0125] The cam unit 200 includes a cam 210 , a cam pin 220 , a return spring 230 , and a cam torsion spring 240 .

[0126] like Fig. 9 As shown, a second through-pin hole 211 is formed on the cam 210 , and a second key groove 212 is formed on the second through-pin hole 211 .

[0127] The second keyway 212 is extended along the axial direction of the second through pin hole 211 .

[0128] A key 221 extending in the axial direction of the cam pin 220 is formed on the first end of the cam pin 220 .

[0129] The cam pin 220 passes through the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211 .

[0130] The cam 210 rotates relative to the main unit 100 to achieve contact or separation between the cam 210 and the guide rail, thereby achieving locking and unlocking of the self-locking device and the rail.

[0131] Both ends of the cam torsion spring 240 are connected to the cam pin 220 and the main unit 200 respectively.

[0132] The cam torsion spring 240 may form a preload force between the cam pin 220 and the main body unit 100 .

[0133] The cam torsion spring 240 may also be connected between the cam pin 220 and the main unit 100 without preload.

[0134] A first annular stopper 223 is formed at a first end of the cam pin shaft 220 .

[0135] A second annular stopper 222 is formed at the second end of the cam pin shaft 220 .

[0136] The return spring 230 is sleeved outside the first end of the cam pin 220. One end of the return spring 230 is connected to the first annular stopper 223, and the other end of the return spring 230 is connected to the main unit 100.

[0137] The cam torsion spring 240 is sleeved on the second end of the cam pin 220. One end of the cam torsion spring 240 is connected to the cam 210, and the other end of the cam torsion spring 240 is connected to the main unit 100.

[0138] When the cam torsion spring 240 is in a state without pre-tightening force, the return spring 230 pushes the cam pin 220 to pop out from the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211 .

[0139] When the cam torsion spring 240 is in a state of applying a preload, the key 221 is connected to the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212. At this time, the cam 210 has no contact with the guide rail.

[0140] Due to the preload force of the cam torsion spring 240, the cam 210 can exert force on the main unit 200 through the cam pin 220. The key 221 abuts against the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212 to prevent the cam pin 220 from being pushed out of the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211 by the return spring 230.

[0141] When the operator is working along the horizontal guide rail, the cam pin 220 is pushed into the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211, so that the key 221 is connected to the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212. In this state, the cam 210 does not contact the guide rail, the cam torsion spring 240 is in a pre-tightened state, and the angle of the cam 210 relative to the main unit 100 is locked.

[0142] Since the operator is connected to the operation hole 213 provided on the cam 210 through a safety rope, when the operator moves along the horizontal guide rail, the operator applies force on the cam 210 through the safety rope. If the safety rope lifts the cam 210 relative to the main unit 100, the preload force of the cam torsion spring 240 is released, and the cam torsion spring 240 is in a state without preload force. At this time, the cam pin 220 pops out from the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211, and the position locking of the cam 210 fails. At this time, if the operator continues to move in the direction of lifting the cam 210, the cam 210 is in an unlocked state relative to the guide rail, and the operator can move freely and smoothly. If at this time, the operator moves in the direction of pressing the cam 210 relative to the main unit 100, the cam 210 will be locked on the guide rail. Therefore, at this time, the cam pin 220 needs to be pushed back into the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211, so that the key 221 is connected to the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212, and the cam torsion spring 240 regains the preload force to lock the position of the cam 210. At this time, the cam 210 is separated from the guide rail. In this way, the cam 210 and the guide rail remain in a non-locked state while the operator continues to move in the direction of pressing the cam 210, ensuring the smooth movement of the operator. In this way, no matter which direction the operator moves along the horizontal guide rail, the operator can move smoothly by applying forces in different directions to the cam 210 through the safety rope.

[0143] When the operator turns from the horizontal guide rail to the vertical guide rail through the diverter, the operator is connected to the operation hole 213 of the cam 210 through the safety rope, and the self-locking device moves downward in the vertical direction relative to the operator due to the action of gravity, so that the safety rope lifts the cam 210 through the operation hole 213, so that the preload force of the cam torsion spring 240 disappears, and the reset spring 230 can push the first end of the cam pin 220 to pop out from the first through pin hole 160 and the second through pin hole 211. As a result, the key 221 pops out from the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212, and the locking connection between the key 221 and the first key slot 161 and the second key slot 212 is released. As a result, the cam 210 can rotate relative to the main unit 100. In this state, when the self-locking device is connected to the vertical guide rail, the cam 210 restores the locking function due to the action of gravity. Therefore, when the operator turns from the horizontal guide rail to the vertical guide rail through the diverter, the locking function of the self-locking device is restored.
