DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the above object, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the scope of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the climbing protection system in an embodiment includes a clamping mechanism 10 and a transportation device, the transportation device is connected with the clamping mechanism 10, the clamping mechanism 10 includes a mounting assembly 100, a pulling assembly 200 and a clamping assembly 300. The transportation device is used to transport the clamping mechanism 10 to the tower. The mounting assembly 100 is used to abut against the tower and is used to connect a protection rope group 600. The pulling assembly 200 is movably mounted on the mounting assembly 100, the moving direction of the pulling assembly 200 relative to the mounting assembly 100 is a first direction; the clamping assembly 300 is movably mounted on the mounting assembly 100, the moving direction of the clamping assembly 300 relative to the mounting assembly 100 is a second direction, the first direction and the second direction intersect, the clamping assembly 300 and the pulling assembly 200 are in transmission connection, the movement of the pulling assembly 200 along the first direction can drive the movement of the clamping assembly 300 along the second direction, so that the clamping assembly 300 clamps the tower with the mounting assembly 100 in the second direction. Specifically in this embodiment, the transportation device is a drone, the drone is disconnectably connected with the pulling assembly 200. The drone can drive the pulling assembly 200 to move relative to the mounting assembly 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction, the first direction is consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0030] Before climbing, the protection rope group 600 is connected to the mounting assembly 100, and the drone is connected to the pulling assembly 200. Then the drone takes off from the ground to transport the clamping mechanism 10 to the tower. During the transportation of the drone, due to the gravity of the mounting assembly 100, the pulling assembly 200 moves relative to the mounting assembly 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction, driving the clamping assembly 300 to move in a direction opposite to the second direction, so that the entire clamping mechanism 10 is in an open state. When the mounting assembly 100 abuts against the tower, the pulling assembly 200 moves in the first direction under the action of its own gravity, driving the clamping assembly 300 to move in the second direction so that the clamping assembly 300 abuts against the tower. Both the mounting assembly 100 and the clamping assembly 300 abut against the tower to realize the clamping of the clamping mechanism 10 on the tower. At the same time, since the protection rope group 600 is always connected to the mounting assembly 100 from the ground, after the clamping mechanism 10 clamps the tower, the ground construction personnel can climb through the protection rope group 600. Through the clamping mechanism 10, the protection rope group 600 can be clamped on the tower to ensure the safety of the first climber. Through the drone, the clamping mechanism 10 and the protection rope group 600 are transported, which avoids the first climber from carrying more equipment to climb, reduces the labor intensity and the complexity of climbing, and indirectly ensures the safety of the climber.

[0031] After the construction is completed, the construction personnel leave the tower through the protection rope. Then the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the clamping mechanism 10 to connect the pulling assembly 200, and the unmanned aerial vehicle drives the pulling assembly 200 to move in the direction opposite to the first direction, so that the clamping mechanism 10 reaches the open state and is separated from the tower. The unmanned aerial vehicle carries the clamping mechanism 10 to the ground to realize the recycling of the clamping mechanism 10. Through the recycling of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the construction personnel can leave the tower without protection, which further ensures the safety of the construction personnel. At the same time, the unmanned aerial vehicle carries the clamping mechanism 10, which avoids the inconvenience of the construction personnel carrying equipment to leave the tower or causes safety accidents. The reliability and stability of the climbing protection system are further ensured. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the installation assembly 100 mainly abuts against the angle steel 700 of the tower. The shape of the installation assembly 100 is matched with the shape of the angle steel 700.

[0032] In one embodiment, the protection rope set 600 includes a transmission rope and a protection rope. The transmission rope is connected to the installation assembly 100, one end of the transmission rope is connected to the ground, and the other end of the transmission rope is connected to one end of the protection rope. The overall weight of the transmission rope is less than the overall weight of the protection rope. Before the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, the transmission rope is connected to the installation assembly 100. The unmanned aerial vehicle moves the transmission rope through the clamping mechanism 10, and the length of the transmission rope is long enough to prevent the protection rope from moving on the ground at this time, thereby avoiding increasing the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. After the clamping mechanism 10 clamps the tower, the construction personnel pull the end of the transmission rope connected to the ground to drive the other end of the connection rope connected to the protection rope to rise, and the protection rope is connected to the clamping assembly 300. Then it is ensured that the construction personnel can safely climb the tower under the protection of the protection rope. It should be noted that the specific connection mode of the transmission rope and the protection rope can be adjusted according to the actual construction situation.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , specifically, the installation assembly 100 is provided with a pulley 130, and the pulley 130 can rotate relative to the installation assembly 100. Before the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off, the transmission rope is connected to the pulley 130. During the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the pulley 130 can reduce the drag force of the transmission rope on the installation assembly 100 and the unmanned aerial vehicle. Then the reliability of the operation of the climbing protection system is ensured. At the same time, the load of the unmanned aerial vehicle is reduced. After the clamping mechanism 10 is clamped, the transmission rope is pulled through the pulley 130, which can reduce the friction between the transmission rope and the installation assembly 100, and also improves the rising efficiency of the protection rope.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 10 further comprises a transmission assembly 400 rotatably mounted on the mounting assembly 100, the rotation axis of the transmission assembly 400 intersects the first direction and the second direction respectively, the movement of the pulling assembly 200 along the first direction can drive the transmission assembly 400 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission assembly 400 can drive the clamping assembly 300 to move along the second direction. The transmission relationship between the pulling assembly 200 and the clamping assembly 300 is stable and reliable through the transmission of the transmission assembly 400.

[0035] In one embodiment, the pulling assembly 200 is provided with a first rack, the clamping assembly 300 is provided with a second rack 311, the transmission assembly 400 comprises a mounting member and a gear set, the mounting member is mounted on the mounting assembly 100, the gear set is mounted on the mounting member and can rotate relative to the mounting member, the first rack and the second rack 311 are respectively engaged with different gears of the gear set, and the movement of the first rack along the first direction can drive the second rack 311 to move along the second direction through the gear set. The transmission between the pulling assembly 200 and the clamping assembly 300 is more reliable through the gear and rack cooperation.

[0036] Specifically, the gear set comprises a large gear and a small gear. The first rack is connected to the small gear, and the second rack 311 is connected to the large gear. When the first rack drives the small gear to rotate, it can also drive the large gear to rotate and in turn drive the second rack 311 to move. The transmission ratio of the gear set is ensured through the cooperation of the large gear and the small gear, and the movement of the pulling assembly 200 can ensure that the clamping assembly 300 clamps the tower.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 300 comprises a clamping member 310 and a rolling member 320, the clamping member 310 is in transmission connection with the pulling assembly 200, the rolling member 320 is rotatably mounted on the clamping member 310 and can roll relative to the mounting assembly 100, and the movement of the pulling assembly 200 along the first direction can drive the rolling member 320 to rotate through the clamping member 310, so that the clamping member 310 moves along the second direction relative to the mounting assembly 100. The rolling member 320 can reduce the friction between the clamping member 310 and the mounting assembly 100, so that the clamping member 310 moves along the second direction more smoothly, and the clamping efficiency and clamping effect of the clamping mechanism 10 are improved. Specifically, the rolling member 320 is a bearing or a ball. The rolling member 320 can also be other parts that can rotate to reduce the friction between the clamping member 310 and the mounting assembly 100.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment, one end of the clamping member 310 is in a U-shaped structure, and a clamping cavity 312 is formed on the U-shaped clamping member 310, the clamping cavity 312 is used to accommodate the partial mounting assembly 100 and the partial tower, and one end of the clamping cavity 312 is used to abut against one end of the tower, and the mounting assembly 100 is used to abut against the other end of the tower. The clamping cavity 312 can increase the contact area between the clamping member 310 and the mounting assembly 100 and the tower, thereby ensuring the friction between the clamping mechanism 10 and the tower and ensuring the reliability of the clamping mechanism 10.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in one embodiment, the mounting assembly 100 is provided with a moving cavity 110 and a moving groove 120 connected with the moving cavity 110, the clamping member 310 is arranged in the moving cavity 110, and one end of the rolling member 320 is movably arranged in the moving groove 120 in the second direction. The rolling member 320 is arranged in the moving groove 120, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the movement of the rolling member 320.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 10 further comprises an elastic assembly 500, the elastic assembly 500 is arranged on the mounting assembly 100 and connected with the pulling assembly 200, and the elastic assembly 500 can exert a restoring force in the first direction to the pulling assembly 200 when the pulling assembly 200 moves in the direction opposite to the first direction. When the pulling assembly 200 moves in the direction opposite to the first direction, the elastic assembly 500 can be elastically deformed or accumulate kinetic energy, and exert a restoring force in the first direction to the pulling assembly 200. Specifically, during the transportation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the mounting assembly 100 makes the pulling assembly 200 move relative to the mounting assembly 100 in the direction opposite to the first direction by gravity, so that the elastic assembly 500 is elastically deformed and exerts a restoring force in the first direction to the pulling assembly 200. However, at this time, the gravity of the mounting assembly 100 is greater than the restoring force of the elastic assembly 500, so the elastic assembly 500 cannot drive the pulling member 210. After the mounting assembly 100 abuts against the tower, the unmanned aerial vehicle is separated from the pulling assembly 200, the pulling assembly 200 moves in the first direction under the action of gravity, and the elastic assembly 500 also exerts a restoring force in the first direction to the pulling assembly 200, so that the pulling assembly 200 moves in the first direction and quickly drives the clamping member 310 to move in the second direction, so that the clamping member 310 can quickly clamp the tower. At the same time, after the clamping member 310 abuts against the tower, the elastic assembly 500 still exerts a restoring force in the first direction to the pulling assembly 200, thereby realizing the locking effect of the elastic assembly 500 on the clamping member 310 through the pulling assembly 200. Further, the reliability, safety and practicability of the clamping mechanism 10 are ensured.

[0041] Specifically, the elastic assembly 500 is a return spring. In other embodiments, the elastic assembly 500 can also be other springs or other elastic structures. As long as the technical effects of the elastic assembly 500 described above can be achieved.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the elastic assembly 500 includes an elastic member and an adjusting member 510, the adjusting member 510 is mounted on the mounting member, and the elastic member is mounted on the adjusting member 510. The mounting position of the elastic member on the adjusting member 510 is movable, thereby adjusting the restoring force of the elastic member to the pulling assembly 200. This enables the clamping mechanism 10 to be applicable to tower of different sizes, further expands the application range of the clamping mechanism 10, and improves the practicability of the clamping mechanism 10.

[0043] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 510 is provided with an adjusting hole 511, and the adjusting hole 511 is used to adjust the pre-tightening force of the elastic member to the pulling assembly 200. This further improves the reliability of the clamping mechanism 10.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the mounting assembly 100 is provided with a guide column 140, the length direction of the guide column 140 is consistent with the first direction, and the pulling assembly 200 is movably connected to the guide column 140 along the length direction of the guide column 140. The pulling assembly 200 includes a pulling member 210 and a sliding member 220, the pulling member 210 is connected to the sliding member 220, the sliding member 220 is movably arranged on the guide column 140, and the moving direction of the sliding member 220 is the first direction. The guide column 140 can further ensure the stability of the movement of the pulling member 210, and ensure the reliability of the clamping mechanism 10.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sliding member 220 is provided with a sliding hole, and the guide column 140 is arranged in the sliding hole. A linear bearing 221 is further arranged in the sliding hole, which further reduces the friction between the sliding member 220 and the guide column 140, and ensures that the clamping mechanism 10 can run smoothly.

[0046] A use method of a climbing protection system, including the climbing protection system in the above embodiments, the pulling assembly 200 moves in the first direction to be in the clamping state of the clamping mechanism 10, and the pulling assembly 200 moves in the direction opposite to the first direction to be in the open state of the clamping mechanism 10.

[0047] The use method includes the following steps:

[0048] The connecting unmanned aerial vehicle and pulling assembly 200, the connecting protection rope group 600 is on the installation assembly 100;

[0049] The unmanned aerial vehicle drives the clamping mechanism 10 to the tower, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle drives the pulling assembly 200 to move in the direction opposite to the first direction, so that the clamping mechanism 10 is in the open state;

[0050] When the installation assembly 100 is in contact with the tower, the unmanned aerial vehicle and the pulling assembly 200 are disconnected, and the pulling assembly 200 moves in the first direction under the action of gravity to drive the clamping assembly 300 to move in the second direction, so that the clamping mechanism 10 is in the clamping state and clamps the tower.

[0051] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 10 is in the clamping state and clamps the tower, and then further comprising:

[0052] After the construction is completed, the unmanned aerial vehicle connects the pulling assembly 200 and drives the pulling assembly 200 to move in the direction opposite to the first direction, so that the clamping mechanism 10 is in the open state. Thus, the clamping assembly 300 and the tower are not in contact, and the unmanned aerial vehicle can take the clamping mechanism 10 away from the tower, further protecting the practicability and reliability of the climbing protection system.
