[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] An embodiment of the present application provides a dual-track climbing mechanism.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present application discloses a dual-track climbing mechanism comprising a frame 100 and a drive unit 200. The frame 100 is located between two handrails, and the plane in which the width of the frame 100 lies is perpendicular to the handrails. The direction of movement of the drive unit 200 is the same as the length direction of the handrails. At least four drive units 200 are provided, and the multiple drive units 200 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the length direction of the frame 100. At least two groups of drive units 200 are installed on each handrail. In this embodiment, there are four drive units 200, and the four drive units 200 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the length direction of the frame 100. Two groups of drive units 200 are respectively provided on the left and right handrails. When one of the four drive units 200 encounters an obstacle, the synchronous movement of any three of the remaining drive units 200 can drive the frame 100 and the remaining drive unit 200 to move along the length direction of the handrail, thereby improving the detection efficiency and effect of the main cable system.

[0035] See also Figure 3 The driving unit 200 includes a driving component 210, a linear component 220 and a rotating component 230. The linear component 220 spans two opposite long sides of the frame 100. The driving component 210 is used to drive the linear component 220 to move closer to or away from the handrail rope along the width direction of the frame 100; the rotating component 230 is installed on the linear component 220. The rotating components 230 in the two adjacent driving units 200 are respectively located on both sides of the central axis of the frame 100. The two adjacent rotating components 230 are driven by their respective linear components 220 to move closer to or away from the handrail rope. The driving component 210 drives the linear component 220 to drive the rotating component 230 to move toward or away from the handrail rope along the width direction of the frame 100 to adjust the distance between the rotating component 230 and the handrail rope, thereby improving the adaptability of the climbing mechanism to double-track handrail ropes with different spacings and expanding the usage scenarios of the climbing mechanism.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 When a driving unit 200 encounters an obstacle, the driving component 210 drives the linear component 220 to drive the rotating component 230 to move away from the handrail rope, so that this driving unit 200 avoids the obstacle on the handrail rope, and the other driving units 200 operate normally, driving this driving unit 200 to continue moving forward on the handrail rope; when this driving unit 200 passes the obstacle, the driving component 210 drives the linear component 220 to drive the rotating component 230 to move toward the handrail rope, so that the rotating component 230 is located at the handrail rope and contacts the handrail rope and continues to move forward.

[0037] See also Figure 3The linear assembly 220 includes a moving part 221 and a linear motion module 222. The rotating assembly 230 is installed on the moving part 221. The linear motion module 222 is installed on the output end of the driving assembly 210. The moving part 221 is set on the linear motion module 222. The linear motion module 222 controls the moving part 221 to move along the width direction of the frame 100, and then the moving part 221 drives the rotating assembly 230 to move along the width direction of the frame 100. Specifically, the linear motion module 222 includes a linear module base 2221, a first bearing seat 2222, a second bearing seat 2223, a screw 2224 and a screw nut 2225. The linear module base 2221 is fixedly connected to the frame 100 and the straight line in the length direction of the linear module base 2221 is perpendicular to the handrail rope. The first bearing seat 2222 and the second bearing seat 2223 are respectively installed on the long sides on both sides of the frame 100. The length direction of the screw 2224 is the same as the width direction of the frame 100. One end of the screw 2224 is installed on the first bearing seat 2222 and rotatably cooperates with the first bearing seat 2222. The other end of the screw 2224 is installed on the second bearing seat 2223 and rotatably cooperates with the second bearing seat 2223. The screw nut 2225 is arranged on the screw 2224 and is threadedly connected to the screw 2224. The moving part 221 is fixedly installed on the screw nut 2225. In this embodiment, the linear module base 2221 is located between the first bearing seat 2222 and the second bearing seat 2223 , and both ends of the linear module base 2221 are fixedly connected to the first bearing seat 2222 and the second bearing seat 2223 respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, the linear module base 2221 is provided with a guide rail 2226. A slider 2211, which matches the shape of the guide rail 2226, is provided on the end surface of the moving member 221 facing the linear module base 2221. The slider 2211 is disposed on the guide rail 2226 and slides with the guide rail 2226. The rotation of the lead screw 2224 drives the lead screw nut 2225 and the moving member 221 along the length of the lead screw 2224. Simultaneously, the slider 2211 slides on the slide rail. The slider 2211 and the slide rail cooperate to carry part of the weight of the moving member 221 and the rotating assembly 230, reducing the load on the lead screw 2224 and improving the movement stability of the moving member 221.

[0039] Drive assembly 210 includes a first drive member 211 and a synchronous belt drive module 212. The synchronous belt drive module 212 is capable of withstanding heavy loads and exhibits high positional and angular accuracy, enabling the first drive member 211 to maintain stable power output during high-speed operation. The first drive member 211 is fixedly mounted on a first bearing seat 2222. The synchronous belt drive module 212 includes a driving synchronous pulley 2121, a synchronous belt 2122, and a driven synchronous pulley 2123. The driving synchronous pulley 2121 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first drive member 211. The driven synchronous pulley 2123 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the lead screw 2224. The driving synchronous pulley 2121 is connected to the driven synchronous pulley 2123 via the synchronous belt 2122. In this embodiment, the synchronous belt drive module 212 is located on the left side of the first bearing seat 2222, and the first driving member 211 is located on the right side of the first bearing seat 2222. There is a gap between the first driving member 211 and the linear module base 2221. The first driving member 211 preferably uses a rotary motor. The first bearing seat 2222 has an opening for the output shaft of the first driving member 211 to pass through. The output shaft of the first driving member 211 passes through the opening and is coaxially fixedly connected to the active synchronous belt 2122 pulley 2121. When the first driving member 211 is started, the first driving member 211 rotates, driving the active synchronous belt pulley 2121 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven synchronous belt pulley 2123 to rotate through the synchronous belt 2122, thereby driving the lead screw 2224 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the lead screw nut 2225 and the moving member 221 to move along the length of the lead screw 2224.

[0040] The rotating assembly 230 includes a rotating plate 231, a second driving member 232, and a climbing module 233. The climbing module 233 is mounted on the rotating plate 231. The second driving member 232 drives the rotating plate 231 to rotate, thereby driving the climbing module 233 to rotate along the plane of the handrail rope, so that the climbing module 233 moves closer to or away from the handrail rope. In this embodiment, the second driving member 232 is preferably a rotary motor. The second driving member 232 is fixedly mounted on the moving member 221 and is located at the midpoint of the rotating plate 231. The rotating plate 231 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second driving member 232. The rotating plate 231 is parallel to the plane in which the length of the handrail rope is located. The rotating plate 231 rotates along the output shaft of the second driving member 232 as the rotation axis. When the linear assembly 220 drives the moving plate to move away from the handrail rope, the second driving member 232 drives the rotating plate 231 to rotate, driving the climbing module 233 to rotate in a plane parallel to the handrail rope.

[0041] Please continue reading Figure 3The climbing module 233 includes a driving wheel 2331, a driven wheel 2333, and a third driving member 2332. The third driving member 2332 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating plate 231. The driving wheel 2331 is coaxially connected to the rotation axis of the third driving member 2332. The driving wheel 2331 and the rotating plate 231 rotate in coordination. The third driving member 2332 drives the driving wheel 2331 to rotate, causing the driving wheel 2331 to advance on the handrail rope. The third driving member 2332 is preferably a rotary motor. The driven wheel 2333 is mounted on one end of the rotating plate 231 away from the driving wheel 2331 and rotates in coordination with the rotating plate 231. The second driving member 232 is located between the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333. The second driving member 232 drives the rotating plate 231 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 231 causes the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 at both ends of the rotating plate 231 to rotate in a plane parallel to the handrail rope. The axial cross-sections of the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 first gradually decrease and then gradually increase from one end to the other, thereby increasing the contact area between the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 and the handrail rope, making the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 more stable on the handrail rope, and reducing the possibility of the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 detaching from the handrail rope while moving forward.

[0042] The climbing module 233 has a forward state and an obstacle crossing state. Figure 5 In the forward state, the lower end surface of the driving wheel 2331 contacts the handrail rope, and the upper end surface of the passive wheel 2333 contacts the handrail rope; or, the upper end surface of the driving wheel 2331 contacts the handrail rope, and the lower end surface of the passive wheel 2333 contacts the handrail rope. In this embodiment, the former is preferably adopted. When the lower end surface of the driving wheel 2331 contacts the handrail rope, and the upper end surface of the passive wheel 2333 contacts the handrail rope, the driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333 cooperate to clamp the handrail rope, and the third driving member 2332 drives the driving wheel 2331 to rotate and move forward on the handrail rope. The forward force of the driving wheel 2331 drives the passive wheel 2333 to move forward synchronously on the handrail rope. The driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333 work together on the handrail rope to enhance the stability of the climbing mechanism in the forward state. Please refer to Figure 6 In the obstacle crossing state, the driving wheel 2331 is located directly above the passive wheel 2333 , and the handrail rope is located between the driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333 and does not contact the driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333 .

[0043] When a driving unit 200 encounters an obstacle, the climbing module 233 of this driving unit 200 switches from the forward state to the obstacle-crossing state. In the obstacle-crossing state, the driving wheel is directly above the passive wheel, or the passive wheel is directly above the driving wheel, and the handrail rope is located between the driving wheel and the passive wheel without contacting the driving wheel or the passive wheel. In this embodiment, the former is preferred.

[0044] The second driving member 232 in the rotating assembly 230 drives the rotating plate 231 to rotate, and the rotating plate 231 rotates so that the driving wheel 2331 is located directly above the passive wheel 2333, and the handrail rope is located between the driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333 and does not contact the driving wheel 2331 and the passive wheel 2333. At this time, the climbing module 233 is disengaged from the handrail rope; the first driving member 211 is started to rotate the screw 2224 through the synchronous belt transmission module 212, and the rotation of the screw 2224 drives the moving member 221 to move away from the handrail rope along the length direction of the screw 2224, and the climbing module 233 is away from the handrail rope; at the same time, the remaining driving units 200 operate normally, driving this driving unit 200 to continue moving forward on the handrail rope, so that this driving unit 200 can avoid obstacles on the handrail rope.

[0045] When the climbing module 233 gradually approaches the handrail, the first driving member 211 stops running; the climbing module 233 switches from the obstacle-crossing state to the forward state, that is, the second driving member 232 starts to drive the rotating plate 231 to rotate, and the rotating plate 231 drives the driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel 2333 to rotate, so that the lower end surface of the driving wheel 2331 contacts the handrail, and the upper end surface of the driven wheel contacts the handrail; the third driving member 2332 drives the driving wheel 2331 to rotate, and the driving wheel 2331 moves forward on the handrail. The driving wheel 2331 and the driven wheel work together to drive the driving unit 200 to continue moving forward. At this time, all driving units 200 are climbing on the handrail.
