[0057] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0058] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the rock climbing descent device proposed in this embodiment of the invention includes a housing 1, and also includes a descent belt 2, a retraction component 3, and a permanent magnet descent component 4 located inside the housing 1.
[0059] The end of the descent belt 2 extends out of the descent belt outlet 111 on the housing 1 for user use. The descent belt 2 is connected to the retrieval assembly 3. When the user is climbing, the retrieval assembly 3 can retract the descent belt 2 to keep it taut for better user protection. The permanent magnet descent assembly 4 can rotate relative to the housing 1. When the user descends, the permanent magnet descent assembly 4 connects to the retrieval assembly 3 and generates a braking torque to reduce the rotational speed of the retrieval assembly 3, thereby reducing the descent speed of the descent belt 2 and allowing the user to descend at a safe speed. After the user lands on the ground and disengages from the descent belt 2, the retrieval assembly 3 can retract the descent belt 2 to tautness. This climbing descent device can also be used for fall protection for workers at heights, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
[0060] Furthermore, the housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and two end caps 12.
[0061] The main body 11 is cylindrical, with open ends. Two end caps 12 are detachably connected to the two ends of the main body 11 by bolts. A polygonal hole 121 is provided on the end cap 12 located at the first end of the main body 11. A deceleration belt outlet 111 is provided on the side wall of the main body 11 for the deceleration belt 2 to pass through. A spiral spring guide groove 112 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the main body 11, and the spiral spring guide groove 112 extends axially along the main body 11.
[0062] Specifically, both end caps 12 are provided with mounting holes 122, which are used to fix the mounting brackets so that the climbing descent device can be fixed to the top of the rock or the top of a high-rise building or other application scenarios.
[0063] Furthermore, the recovery assembly 3 includes a slow-descent belt reel 31, two spiral spring end caps 32, and a spiral spring 33.
[0064] The deceleration belt 2 is wound around the deceleration belt reel 31. Two spiral spring end caps 32 are fixedly connected to the deceleration belt reel 31. A spiral spring 33 is located between the two spiral spring end caps 32, with its first end connected to the housing 1 and its second end connected to the spiral spring end cap 32. Preferably, the two spiral spring end caps 32 are detachably fixedly connected to the deceleration belt reel 31 by bolts.
[0065] In use, the housing 1 is fixed to the top of the rock. When the user climbs, the spiral spring 33 drives the spiral spring end cap 32 to rotate in the first direction. The spiral spring end cap 32 drives the descent belt reel 31 to rotate synchronously. The descent belt reel 31 drives the descent belt 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby retracting the descent belt 2 and putting it in a taut state. When the user descends, the user's own weight causes the descent belt 2 to descend. The descent belt 2 drives the descent belt reel 31 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction. The descent belt reel 31 drives the two spiral spring end caps 32 to rotate synchronously. The spiral spring end caps 32 cause the second end of the spiral spring 33 to stretch. When the user lands on the ground and disengages from the descent belt 2, the spiral spring 33 returns to its original position and drives the spiral spring end cap 32 to rotate in the first direction. The spiral spring end cap 32 drives the descent belt reel 31 to rotate synchronously. The descent belt reel 31 drives the descent belt 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby retracting and tautning the descent belt 2.
[0066] Specifically, a wear-resistant sleeve 331 is fitted onto the first end of the spiral spring 33, and the wear-resistant sleeve 331 is inserted into the spiral spring guide groove 112.
[0067] The second end of the spiral spring 33 is bent radially inward to form a bent portion 332. The bent portion 332 is used to insert into the groove on the spiral spring end cap 32 so that the second end of the spiral spring 33 can be detachably connected to the spiral spring end cap 32.
[0068] Furthermore, the permanent magnet slow-descent assembly 4 includes a stator sleeve 41 and a permanent magnet rotor assembly 42.
[0069] The stator sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. At least a portion of the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is located within the stator sleeve 41. An air gap exists between the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 and the stator sleeve 41, and the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is rotatable relative to the stator sleeve 41 to generate braking torque. The permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is detachably connected to the decelerating belt reel 31. When connected to the decelerating belt reel 31, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is unidirectionally rotatable. Preferably, the stator sleeve 41 is made of copper, copper alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.
[0070] When the deceleration belt 2 descends, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 connects to the deceleration belt disc 31. The deceleration belt 2 drives the deceleration belt disc 31 and the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 to rotate synchronously. The permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 rotates relative to the stator sleeve 41, generating eddy currents and a reverse magnetic field between the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 and the stator sleeve 41. When this reverse magnetic field acts on the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42, it generates a braking torque. Under the action of the braking torque, the rotational speed of the deceleration belt disc 31 driven by the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 decreases, and the descent speed of the deceleration belt 2 driven by the deceleration belt disc 31 decreases. When the deceleration belt 2 retracts, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 connects to the deceleration belt disc 31 and remains stationary. The unidirectional rotation configuration of the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 allows it to decelerate the descending deceleration belt 2 without affecting its retraction.
[0071] When the deceleration belt 2 is stationary, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is disconnected from the deceleration belt disc 31.
[0072] Because there is an air gap between the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 and the stator sleeve 41 in the permanent magnet slow descent assembly 4, there is no frictional loss between the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 and the stator sleeve 41 during use. Therefore, the permanent magnet slow descent assembly 4 has a long service life.
[0073] Furthermore, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 includes a permanent magnet rotor frame 421 and a permanent magnet rotor 422.
[0074] The permanent magnet rotor frame 421 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and a pawl groove 4211 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the end of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421. The permanent magnet rotor 422 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421. Preferably, multiple permanent magnet rotors 422 are provided, and the multiple permanent magnet rotors 422 are spaced apart along the circumference of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421. The magnetism of two adjacent permanent magnet rotors 422 is opposite. The permanent magnet rotors 422 are detachably fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 by bolts or magnetic clamps. The arrangement of the permanent magnet rotors 422 is preferably a Heilbeck arrangement.
[0075] The permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 also includes a permanent magnet rotor end cover 423, which is detachably fixed to the end of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 by bolts.
[0076] Furthermore, the permanent magnet slow-descent assembly 4 also includes a one-way rotation assembly 43, which is used to connect the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 and drive the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 to rotate in one direction.
[0077] The one-way rotation assembly 43 includes an annular boss 431 and a pawl actuating block 432.
[0078] An annular boss 431 is disposed at the end of the deceleration belt reel 31. Preferably, the annular boss 431 and the deceleration belt reel 31 are an integral structure. A receiving groove 4311 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular boss 431. One end of the pawl actuating block 432 is rotatably connected to the receiving groove 4311 via a rotating shaft 433. A torsion spring 434 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 433, and the pawl actuating block 432 can engage or disengage from the pawl slot 4211. When the pawl actuating block 432 is engaged in the pawl slot 4211, its operating principle is similar to that of a ratchet. The pawl actuating block 432 can only drive the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 with the pawl slot 4211 to rotate in direction one. When the rotation direction of the pawl actuating block 432 is opposite to direction one, the pawl actuating block 432 cannot drive the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 with the pawl slot 4211 to rotate. At this time, the retraction component 3 rotates relative to the permanent magnet rotor frame 421.
[0079] When a user is rock climbing, the spiral spring 33 drives the spiral spring end cap 32 to rotate in the first direction. The spiral spring end cap 32 drives the deceleration belt reel 31 and the deceleration belt 2 to rotate in the first direction so as to drive the deceleration belt 2 to retract. The deceleration belt reel 31 can drive the annular boss 431 to rotate synchronously, thereby generating centrifugal force on the pawl actuating block 432. Under the action of centrifugal force, the pawl actuating block 432 disengages from the receiving groove 4311 of the annular boss 431 and engages in the pawl slot 4211 of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 so that the deceleration belt reel 31 is connected to the permanent magnet rotor frame 421. At this time, the torsion spring 434 twists. Since the pawl actuating block 432 can only drive the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction when the pawl actuating block 432 and the pawl slot 4211 are engaged, that is, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 can only rotate in one direction, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 remains stationary and will not generate braking torque that affects the retraction of the deceleration belt 2.
[0080] When the user lands, the user drives the descent belt 2 to descend. The descent belt 2 can drive the descent belt disc 31 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction. The descent belt disc 31 drives the spiral spring end cap 32 to rotate synchronously. The spiral spring 33 is in a stretched state, and the descent belt disc 31 drives the annular boss 431 to rotate synchronously. This generates centrifugal force on the pawl actuating block 432. Under the action of centrifugal force, the pawl actuating block 432 disengages from the receiving groove 4311 of the annular boss 431 and engages in the pawl slot 4211 of the permanent magnet rotor frame 421, so that the descent belt disc 31 is connected to the permanent magnet rotor frame 421. At this time, the torsion spring 434 twists. The slow-descent belt reel 31 drives the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 and the permanent magnet rotor 422 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions along the first direction through the cooperation of the pawl actuating block 432 and the pawl slot 4211. This causes the permanent magnet rotor 422 to rotate relative to the stator sleeve 41 and generate a braking torque on the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42. Under the action of the braking torque, the rotation speed of the slow-descent belt reel 31 driven by the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is reduced, and the descent speed of the slow-descent belt 2 driven by the slow-descent belt reel 31 is reduced.
[0081] When the user lands on the ground and disengages from the deceleration belt 2, the spiral spring 33 returns to its original position and drives the spiral spring end cap 32 to rotate in the first direction. The spiral spring end cap 32 drives the deceleration belt disc 31 to rotate synchronously, and the deceleration belt disc 31 drives the deceleration belt 2 to rotate synchronously to retract and tighten the deceleration belt 2. The deceleration belt disc 31 also drives the annular boss 431 to rotate synchronously. Under the action of centrifugal force, the pawl actuating block 432 disengages from the receiving groove 4311 and engages in the pawl slot 4211. Since the pawl actuating block 432 can only drive the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first direction when the pawl actuating block 432 and the pawl slot 4211 are engaged, that is, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 can only rotate in one direction, the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 remains stationary and will not generate a braking torque that affects the retraction of the deceleration belt 2. When the deceleration belt 2 is fully retracted, the deceleration belt 2 comes to a standstill, the deceleration belt reel 31 stops rotating, there is no centrifugal force on the pawl actuating block 432, the torsion spring 434 returns and drives the pawl actuating block 432 to disengage from the pawl slot 4211 and enter the receiving slot 4311, and the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is disconnected from the deceleration belt reel 31.
[0082] It should be noted that when the user lands, once the rotational speed of the descent belt 2 reaches a certain value, causing the descent belt disc 31 and the annular boss 431 to rotate, the centrifugal force acting on the pawl actuating block 432 can overcome the preload of the torsion spring 434 and disengage from the receiving groove 4311, engaging in the pawl slot 4211. This, in turn, reduces the descent speed of the descent belt 2 under the braking torque of the permanent magnet descent assembly 4. Therefore, torsion springs 434 with different preloads can be selected to adjust the starting speed of the permanent magnet descent assembly 4 for the descent belt 2.
[0083] More specifically, there are multiple pawl actuating blocks 432 and multiple receiving slots 4311, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the annular boss 431, with each pawl actuating block 432 corresponding to a pawl receiving slot 4311. There are also multiple pawl slots 4211, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the permanent magnet rotor frame 421, with each pawl slot 4211 corresponding to a pawl actuating block 432.
[0084] More specifically, the pawl actuating block 432 is provided with two opposing extended arms, and the torsion spring 434 is located between the two extended arms, with the two ends of the torsion spring 434 respectively abutting against the opposing surfaces of the two extended arms.
[0085] Furthermore, the climbing descent device also includes a speed control component 5, which is used to adjust the descent speed of the descent belt 2 to improve the user's descent efficiency.
[0086] The speed control assembly 5 includes a lead screw 51, a lead screw nut 52, and a rotating handle 53. The lead screw 51 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The lead screw nut 52 is sleeved and threaded onto the lead screw 51. Both the retraction assembly 3 and the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 are rotatably connected to the lead screw nut 52 relative to it. The rotating handle 53 is connected to the lead screw 51 and can drive the lead screw 51 to rotate.
[0087] In use, rotating the handle 51 causes the screw 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw nut 52 to move axially. The screw nut 52 then drives the retraction assembly 3 and the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 to move axially synchronously. The permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 moves relative to the stator sleeve 41 along their respective axial directions, thus changing the relative area between them. The relative area between the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 and the stator sleeve 41 is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic force between them, which in turn is proportional to the magnitude of the braking torque acting on the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42. Therefore, rotating the handle 51 adjusts the braking torque acting on the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42, thereby changing the rotation speed of the slow-descent belt 31 and consequently the descent speed of the slow-descent belt 2. This allows for adjustment of the descent speed to meet the user's needs and is suitable for users of different weights, making it applicable to a wide range of users.
[0088] Specifically, when the lead screw nut 52 drives the retraction assembly 3 to move axially, the wear-resistant sleeve 331, which is fitted onto the first end of the spiral spring 33 in the retraction assembly 3, can move axially within the spiral spring guide groove 112 of the housing 1. By providing the wear-resistant sleeve 331, frictional wear of the spiral spring 33 can be avoided. The material of the wear-resistant sleeve 331 is preferably a low-wear and low-friction material such as polytetrafluoroethylene or phenolic resin-reinforced fabric.
[0089] Specifically, the two ends of the lead screw 51 are connected to the two end caps 12 via the first bearing a. The first bearing a is preferably a deep groove ball bearing or an angular contact bearing, more preferably an angular contact bearing, which has better axial load capacity and longer service life.
[0090] Furthermore, the speed regulating assembly 5 also includes a guide rod 54, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and parallel to the lead screw 51. The lead screw nut 52 is movably mounted on the guide rod 54 along the axial direction of the lead screw 51, guiding the movement of the lead screw nut 52. Specifically, both ends of the guide rod 54 are inserted into the opposite sidewalls of the two end caps 12. Preferably, two guide rods 54 are provided, symmetrically arranged radially along the housing 1 to improve the guiding stability of the lead screw nut 52.
[0091] Specifically, the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 of the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42 is sleeved on the lead screw nut 52, and a second bearing b is provided between the permanent magnet rotor frame 421 and the lead screw nut 52. The outer ring of the second bearing b is fixedly connected to the permanent magnet rotor assembly 42, and the inner ring of the second bearing b is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut 52. The second bearing b is preferably a deep groove ball bearing or an angular contact bearing, more preferably an angular contact bearing, which has better axial load capacity and longer service life.
[0092] Specifically, the two scroll spring end caps 32 and the deceleration belt reel 31 of the retraction component 3 are both sleeved on the lead screw nut 52, a third bearing c is provided between the two scroll spring end caps 32 and the lead screw nut 52, and a fourth bearing d is provided between the deceleration belt reel 31 and the lead screw nut 52.
[0093] The lead screw nut 52 can drive the permanent magnet slow-descent assembly 4 and the retraction assembly 3 to move synchronously along the axial direction through the second bearing b, the third bearing c and the fourth bearing d.
[0094] Specifically, the first end of the lead screw nut 52 has an annular groove, and the second end of the lead screw nut 52 is fitted with and threaded onto a nut 56. An elastic retaining ring 57 and a locking washer 58 are respectively fitted at both ends of the lead screw nut 52. The elastic retaining ring 57 is located within the annular groove, and the locking washer 58 is located between the nut 56 and the third bearing c. The elastic retaining ring 57 is used to axially limit the movement of the second bearing b. The locking washer 58 and the nut 56 are used to axially limit the movement of the third bearing c.
[0095] Furthermore, a magnetic plate 55 is provided on the rotating handle 53, and the rotating handle 53 is detachably connected to the first end of the lead screw 51 through the magnetic plate 55.
[0096] Furthermore, a connector 511 is provided at the first end of the lead screw 51. The connector 511 is cuboid and passes through the polygonal hole 121 on the housing 1. A cuboid groove 531 is provided on the rotating handle 53, and an insertion boss 532 is formed around the groove 531 on the rotating handle 53. The outer peripheral sidewall of the insertion boss 532 is polygonal. The insertion boss 532 can be inserted into the polygonal hole 121 on the housing 1, and the groove 531 can be inserted into the connector 511.
[0097] Specifically, the first end of the lead screw 51 forms a lead screw stepped structure around the connector 511, and a handle stepped structure is set at the center of the insertion boss 532 of the rotating handle 53. A magnetic piece 55 is set on the end face of the handle stepped structure, and the magnetic piece 55 can be magnetically attracted to the end face of the lead screw stepped structure.
