[0002] There are extremely high safety risks in working at heights. As a key safety device, the fall arrester plays a vital role. The working principle of the existing differential fall arrester is similar to that of a car seat belt. When a person moves normally, the steel cable or belt of the fall arrester will freely expand and contract with the movement of the user. Once a rapid fall is detected, the internal braking mechanism will immediately start to stop the user's fall within a short distance. The differential has the following defects: locking delay; high maintenance requirements; many environmental restrictions, etc. Therefore, the performance of the differential fall arrester may be affected and safety cannot be fully guaranteed.

[0003] The pendulum effect refers to when a person falls from a height, because the fixing point of the fall arrester is not vertically below, the person will swing horizontally during the fall, similar to the movement of a pendulum.

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "left side", "right side", "upper part", "lower part" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. "First", "second" and the like do not indicate the importance of the components, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. The specific dimensions used in this embodiment are only for illustrating the technical solution, and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent controlled differential fall arrester for preventing pendulum effect comprises a fixed mounting end 11 connected to the upper side of the fall arrester 1 and an anti-fall mounting end 12 connected to the lower side. The fixed mounting end 11 and the anti-fall mounting end 12 of the fall arrester adopt self-locking hooks, which can meet the overhead line operation requirements in different scenarios. An electronic inclinometer detection unit, an inclination warning unit and an anti-tilt self-locking device are installed inside the fall arrester 1. The electronic inclinometer detection unit and the inclination warning unit are integrated with an anti-pendulum control unit and connected to the anti-tilt self-locking device. The electronic inclinometer detection unit includes a miniature electronic inclinometer and a data processing unit. The miniature electronic inclinometer is arranged at the hanging end of the fall arrester 1 to avoid extra shaking of the wearing end of the fall arrester 1. The miniature electronic inclinometer has a built-in acceleration sensor. The acceleration sensor is usually a MEMS accelerometer. The acceleration sensor can detect the components of gravity in different directions. When the inclinometer is tilted, the sensor will detect the corresponding gravity changes, and these changes will be converted into angle readings through the data processing unit. The electronic inclinometer has high accuracy, can display the measurement results in real time, and has data recording and transmission functions, and is suitable for high-precision and dynamic measurements. The inclination warning unit includes an intelligent module for the horizontal inclination. The threshold of the horizontal inclination is determined according to the shape and suspension height of the transmission tower, and a recommended threshold value is given according to previous historical data. When the suspension height is less than 20m, the recommended threshold value is not greater than 45°. When the suspension height is greater than or equal to 20m, the recommended threshold value is not greater than 30°. When the horizontal inclination angle is greater than or equal to the threshold value once, a first-level warning is triggered. When the horizontal inclination angle is greater than or equal to the threshold value twice, a second-level warning is triggered. The first-level warning and the second-level warning are distinguished by the frequency of the beeping sound.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the anti-tilt self-locking device includes a locking pin 2, an electric telescopic rod 9, a state switch, a control chip 4, a receiver 5, and a power supply 6. The upper part is a shell with an opening on the lower side, and the lower part is a safety rope pipe 8 connected to the opening on the lower side of the shell and a safety rope 7 located in the safety rope pipe. The electric telescopic rod 9 is connected to the locking pin 2, and the motor for controlling the electric telescopic rod 9 is connected to the receiver 5 signal. The state switch includes an upper state switch 31 and a lower state switch 32. The upper state switch 31 and the lower state switch 32 are connected to the power supply 6 and the control chip 4 at the same time. The control chip 4 receives the warning signal of the anti-pendulum control unit through the receiver 5 to control the opening and closing of the upper state switch 31 and the lower state switch 32, and the locking pin 2 is limited by the upper state switch 31 or the lower state switch 32. The upper state switch 31 or the lower state switch 32 includes a receiver 1 301, an insulating shell 302, a steel ball pad 303, an electric telescopic rod 2 304 and a steel ball 305. The receiver 1 301 is connected to the control chip 4 by signal. The insulating shell 302 has a telescopic space. The electric telescopic rod 2 304 is located on the inner side of the insulating shell 302. The motor for controlling the electric telescopic rod 2 304 is connected to the receiver 1 301 by signal. The steel ball 305 can be retracted or extended inside or outside the insulating shell 302. The electric telescopic rod 2 304 is connected to the steel ball 305 through the steel ball pad 303 to control the extension and retraction of the steel ball 305. The steel ball pad 303 is made of insulating material. The locking pin 2 has a limit space matching the steel ball 305 and is locked when the steel ball 305 extends out of the insulating shell 302. Both the electric telescopic rod 1 9 and the electric telescopic rod 2 304 are scissor fork structures, which are driven by a motor and generate power by electric means to enable the scissor fork structure to perform telescopic movement.

[0021] In the normal use state, that is, when the fall arrester 1 is in the conducting state, the steel balls 305 of the upper state switch 31 and the lower state switch 32 extend out of the insulating shell 302, and the upper state switch 31 locks the locking pin 2. When the tilt angle exceeds the threshold and triggers the second-level warning, the anti-pendulum control unit of the fall arrester 1 sends an electrical signal to the receiver 5, and the receiver 5 transmits the electrical signal to the control chip 4 and the motor that controls the electric telescopic rod 9. After the internal receiver 301 of the upper state switch 31 and the lower state switch 32 receives the signal of the control chip 4, the motor in the receiver 301 controls the electric telescopic rod 2 304 to pull the steel ball 305 to first retract and then extend out of the insulating shell 302. While the steel ball 305 retracts into the insulating shell 302, the electric telescopic rod 9 controls the locking pin 2 to move downward. When the locking pin 2 drops to the lower state switch 32, the steel ball 305 has extended out of the insulating shell 302. At this time, the locking pin 2 and the lower state switch 32 are locked with each other, thereby completing the locking of the anti-tilt self-locking device. The safety rope 7 is controlled by the locking pin 2. When the locking pin 2 and the lower state switch 32 are locked with each other, the safety rope pipe 8 is in a locked state, and the head of the locking pin 2 limits the extension and retraction of the safety rope 7, and the fall arrester 1 cannot continue to extend and retract the safety rope 7. The fall arrester 1 automatically adjusts the working state according to the information fed back by the anti-pendulum control unit to ensure that it is always in a locked state before falling. The safety rope 7 is designed to be detachable and made of flame-retardant material, which is durable. After use, the safety rope can also be maintained or replaced in time, which can effectively improve the safety of the fall arrester. The control chip 4, the receiver 5 and the power supply 6 form a control drive unit, which cooperates with wireless remote control to realize remote operation adjustment. After the remote control signal is sent, the receiver processes the received signal to control the lifting and lowering of the fall arrester rope. When the staff is safe, the remote control sends a signal, and the electric telescopic rod 9 pulls the locking pin 2 to move upward. At this time, the steel ball 305 in the upper state switch 31 and the lower state switch 32 is retracted and then extended at the same time, and finally the upper state switch 31 limits the locking pin 2, so that the fall arrester 1 is restored to a normal use state.

[0022] When the inclination angle of the fall arrester 1 does not reach the threshold value but the acceleration is too fast, the differential anti-fall device in the fall arrester 1 directly triggers the anti-fall function, and the priority of the anti-fall function is higher than the anti-pendulum function.

[0023] Working principle: The tilt warning unit of the anti-pendulum control unit activates the warning and limit functions through the set secondary threshold according to the data received from the electronic inclinometer detection unit. If the horizontal angle of the worker reaches a certain dangerous threshold, the system will automatically adjust to prevent further angle changes and prevent falls due to excessive swings, thereby significantly improving the overall safety of workers working at height on transmission towers.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these equivalent transformations all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
