Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety buckle technology, specifically a safety buckle suitable for lateral movement. Background Technology
[0002] A safety buckle is a safety accessory used in high-altitude operations. When workers walk on the boom to inspect or maintain it, they need to use the safety buckle, which is connected to the supporting crossbar or strut. Then, the safety rope is connected to the safety buckle to carry out the maintenance work. A search revealed that a typical example of a safety buckle in existing technology is disclosed in CN111960298A: a tower crane boom safety fastener. This fastener includes a frame, a horizontal section, and extensions extending in the same direction at both ends of the horizontal section. A rotating plate is located on the outer side of one of the extensions, away from the horizontal section. A rotating limiting plate is mounted on the rotating plate, and the limiting plate includes at least three locking plates. The opening of the frame overlaps with at least one locking plate. This tower crane boom safety fastener allows the fastener to slide a relatively long distance along the supporting crossbar. Its main advantage is that workers do not need to frequently move the fastener, ensuring worker safety and improving efficiency.
[0003] In summary, the existing safety buckles cannot measure and record the distance the workers move when they move, making it inconvenient to relocate the maintenance location after the maintenance task is completed. Furthermore, the safety buckles that can move freely with the workers may accelerate the workers' sliding in the event of an accident, thus posing a significant safety hazard. To address these issues, the existing equipment needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safety buckle suitable for lateral movement, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to measure and record the distance of movement of existing safety buckles when they move with the staff, making it inconvenient to relocate the maintenance position after the maintenance task is completed, and the fact that safety buckles that can move freely with the staff will accelerate the sliding of the staff in the event of an accident, thus posing a significant safety hazard.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a safety buckle suitable for lateral movement, comprising a frame and a transmission mechanism. A first limiting rod is connected to the frame, and a second limiting rod is provided on one side of the first limiting rod. Both the first and second limiting rods are provided with sleeves, and locking blocks are provided on the side walls of both the first and second limiting rods. The locking blocks are correspondingly provided with horizontal grooves. The horizontal grooves are opened inside the mounting base and communicate with the locking grooves. The mounting base is connected through to the side wall of the frame. The transmission mechanism is connected to a measuring mechanism, and the measuring mechanism includes a first winding shaft, a second winding shaft, a driven roller, a measuring track, a motor, a baffle, a mounting plate, a reset spring assembly, a bearing plate, a tension sensor, and a hook. A second winding shaft is provided on one side of the first winding shaft, and a driven roller is provided between the first winding shaft and the second winding shaft.
[0006] Preferably, a solar photovoltaic panel is installed on the top of the frame, and the cross-section of the solar photovoltaic panel is arched, while a hanging ring is provided at the bottom of the frame.
[0007] Preferably, a control panel is installed on the side wall of the frame, and a buzzer is provided on the control panel.
[0008] Preferably, the first limiting rod is connected to the second limiting rod through a first gear transmission structure, and the ends of both the first and second limiting rods away from the locking block are rotatably connected to the support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the sleeve is connected to a protrusion, and the protrusion is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove, while the rotating groove is formed on the outer wall of the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating shaft, an anti-slip pad, a second gear transmission structure, a transmission shaft, a power generation component, and a battery pack. The rotating shaft is connected to the transmission shaft through the second gear transmission structure, and the transmission shaft is connected to the power generation component.
[0011] Preferably, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the frame, and an anti-slip pad is connected to the rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, the battery pack is mounted on the outer wall of the other side of the frame, and the battery pack, the power generation components, and the solar photovoltaic panels are electrically connected.
[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the measuring track are respectively wound onto the first winding shaft and the second winding shaft, and the measuring track is wound around the driven roller. The driven roller is mounted on the baffle, and the baffle is disposed on the mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the bearing plate through a set of return springs, and the bearing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame.
[0014] Preferably, a tension sensor is provided on the inner side of the reset spring assembly, and the tension sensor is mounted on the bearing plate. The tension sensor is connected to the mounting plate through a hook, and the mounting plate is slidably connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The safety buckle applicable to lateral movement is provided with a transmission mechanism. The rotating shaft in the transmission mechanism can rotate with the worker when moving the device lateral. During the rotation of the rotating shaft, the transmission shaft is driven to rotate together through the second gear transmission structure. When the transmission shaft rotates, it drives the power generation component to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery pack. The solar photovoltaic panel can convert solar energy into electrical energy to replenish the battery pack during maintenance work, thereby extending the battery pack's range and preventing accidents caused by power depletion after the device has been working for a long time. This also improves the rationality of the device structure. This safety buckle, applicable to lateral movement, is equipped with a measuring mechanism. The first winding shaft in the measuring mechanism rotates along with the worker's movement device as the shaft rotates. During rotation, the first winding shaft pulls and winds up the measuring track. After maintenance, workers can check the readings on the measuring track to see their lateral movement distance, facilitating subsequent re-examination. Furthermore, workers can set their lateral movement distance via the control panel. When the lateral movement exceeds the maximum distance, the motor stops rotating, limiting the release of the measuring track on the second winding shaft. When the object moves and the first winding shaft continues to rotate, the measuring track pulls the driven roller. A tension sensor detects the tension through the hook. When the tension reaches the set value, indicating that the device is still moving, the tension sensor transmits this information to the controller. The controller then activates a buzzer to warn maintenance personnel and surrounding staff, thereby improving safety during device use. Additionally, when the motor stops rotating, the first winding shaft stops rotating, thus limiting the device's sliding and further enhancing safety. This safety buckle, suitable for horizontal movement, is equipped with a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod. The operator can manually insert the first and second limiting rods through the frame so that the locking block at one end moves along the horizontal groove and inserts into the card seat. Then, the operator can manually rotate the first limiting rod to drive the locking block in the horizontal groove into the locking groove for positioning. The second limiting rod, driven by the first gear transmission structure, will rotate in the opposite direction and drive the corresponding locking block into the locking groove for locking. This prevents the device from accidentally falling off the external support rod during use and improves the safety of the device during use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-6This invention provides a technical solution: a safety buckle suitable for horizontal movement, comprising a frame 1 and a transmission mechanism 16. A first limiting rod 2 is connected to the frame 1, and a second limiting rod 3 is provided on one side of the first limiting rod 2. Both the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3 are provided with sleeves 6, and locking blocks 10 are provided on the side walls of both the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3. The locking blocks 10 are correspondingly provided with horizontal grooves 11, which are formed inside a retaining base 9 and communicate with locking grooves 12. The retaining base 9 is connected through to the side wall of the frame 1, and a solar photovoltaic system is installed on the top of the frame 1. The solar photovoltaic panel 15 has an arched cross-section. The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a hanging ring 18. The side wall of the frame 1 is equipped with a control panel 13 and a buzzer 14. The buzzer 14 is used to sound an alarm. The first limiting rod 2 is connected to the second limiting rod 3 through the first gear transmission structure 4. The ends of the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3 away from the locking block 10 are rotatably connected to the support plate 5. The inner side of the sleeve 6 is connected with a protrusion 8, and the protrusion 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating groove 7. The rotating groove 7 is opened on the outer wall of the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3.
[0020] The transmission mechanism 16 is connected to the measuring mechanism 17, and the measuring mechanism 17 includes a first take-up shaft 1701, a second take-up shaft 1702, a driven roller 1703, a measuring track 1704, a motor 1705, a baffle 1706, a mounting plate 1707, a return spring assembly 1708, a bearing plate 1709, a tension sensor 17010, and a hook 17011. The second take-up shaft 1702 is provided on one side of the first take-up shaft 1701, and the driven roller 1703 is provided between the first take-up shaft 1701 and the second take-up shaft 1702. The two ends of the measuring track 1704 are respectively wound on the first take-up shaft 1701 and the second take-up shaft 1702, and the measuring track 1704 is wound around... Driven roller 1703 is mounted on baffle 1706, which is mounted on mounting plate 1707. Mounting plate 1707 is connected to bearing plate 1709 via return spring assembly 1708, and bearing plate 1709 is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of frame 1. Tension sensor 17010 is provided on the inner side of return spring assembly 1708, and tension sensor 17010 is mounted on bearing plate 1709. Tension sensor 17010 is connected to mounting plate 1707 via hook 17011, and mounting plate 1707 is slidably connected to one side outer wall of frame 1. Return spring assembly 1708 and mounting plate 1707 serve to prevent deviation and provide connection.
[0021] In actual operation, the frame 1 is first placed on the outside of the rod. Then, the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3 are manually inserted through the frame 1 so that the locking block 10 at one end moves along the horizontal groove 11 and inserts into the card seat 9. Then, the first limiting rod 2 is manually rotated so that the locking block 10 in the horizontal groove 11 rotates into the locking groove 12 to achieve positioning. The second limiting rod 3 will rotate in the opposite direction under the transmission of the first gear transmission structure 4 and drive the corresponding locking block 10 to rotate into the locking groove 12 to achieve locking. Then, the safety rope is assembled and connected to the hanging ring 18. Then, the operator can operate the control panel 13 to set the distance of lateral movement. Then, the device is moved. When the device moves, the external support rod will contact the transmission mechanism 16 and cause the transmission mechanism 16 to rotate. When the transmission mechanism 16 rotates, it will drive the first winding shaft 1701 to rotate. When the first winding shaft 1701 rotates, it will pull the measuring track 1704 and wind it up. When the measuring track 1704 is wound up, the moving distance of the operator and the device is recorded. When the lateral movement exceeds the maximum distance, i.e., when the motor 1705 rotates to the specified number of revolutions, or when a worker moves a long distance due to an accidental collision, the motor 1705 stops rotating, restricting the release of the measuring track 1704 on the second take-up shaft 1702. At this time, when the object moves but the first take-up shaft 1701 continues to rotate, the measuring track 1704 will pull the driven roller 1703 to move. Then, the tension sensor 17010 will detect the tension through the hook 17011. When the tension reaches the set value, i.e., when the device still moves, the tension sensor 17010 will transmit the detected movement signal to the controller. The controller will control the buzzer 14 to warn maintenance personnel and surrounding staff, thereby facilitating rescue of the worker involved in the accident. The controller is installed inside the control panel 13. After use, the staff can operate the control panel 13 to control the motor 1705 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the second take-up shaft 1702 to rewind the measuring track 1704 for subsequent measurement work. This is the working principle of the safety buckle applicable to lateral movement.
[0022] The transmission mechanism 16 includes a rotating shaft 1601, an anti-slip pad 1602, a second gear transmission structure 1603, a transmission shaft 1604, a power generation component 1605, and a battery pack 1606. The rotating shaft 1601 is connected to the transmission shaft 1604 via the second gear transmission structure 1603, and the transmission shaft 1604 is connected to the power generation component 1605. The rotating shaft 1601 is rotatably connected inside the frame 1, and the anti-slip pad 1602 is connected to the rotating shaft 1601. The anti-slip pad 1602 serves to prevent slippage and also reduces the wear caused by the external support rod on the rotating shaft 1601, thereby extending the service life of the device. The battery pack 1606 is installed on the outer wall of the other side of the frame 1, and the battery pack 1606, the power generation component 1605, and the solar panel are connected together. The photovoltaic panels 15 are electrically connected. The rotating shaft 1601 can rotate with the worker when moving the device. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 1601, the second gear transmission structure 1603 drives the transmission shaft 1604 to drive the power generation component 1605. When the rotating shaft 1601 rotates, it will synchronously drive the second winding shaft 1702 to rotate and wind up the measuring track 1704. The power generation component 1605 and the solar photovoltaic panels 15 convert kinetic energy and solar energy into electrical energy and store them in the battery pack 1606. In addition, the power generation component 1605 and the solar photovoltaic panels 15 are existing technologies for generating electricity. The internal structure and conversion principle of the power generation component 1605 and the solar photovoltaic panels 15 will not be described in detail here. This is the working principle of the transmission mechanism 16.
