Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power auxiliary tools technology, and in particular relates to a novel pole climbing device. Background Technology
[0002] High-altitude line work is an indispensable part of industries such as power and communications, requiring workers to perform maintenance and repairs at heights. However, existing pole-climbing devices have significant limitations in practical applications, which not only affect work efficiency but also pose potential threats to worker safety.
[0003] First, a limitation of existing pole-climbing devices is that the working position can only be determined before ascent; once airborne, the device cannot rotate horizontally. This limitation restricts the operator's flexibility during operations, preventing them from adjusting the working position according to actual needs. In the complex and ever-changing high-altitude environment, this fixed position may prevent operators from reaching certain critical locations or require them to spend more time and effort finding suitable working points. This not only reduces operational efficiency but may also increase operational risks.
[0004] Secondly, existing pole-climbing operations typically only support single-person work, providing only a single workspace. This limitation forces workers to take turns when multiple people are needed for high-altitude work, or to transport workers to the work site one by one when multiple people need to work simultaneously, thus extending the overall operation time. Furthermore, the limited single-person workspace often causes workers to feel crowded and uncomfortable during operations, further impacting efficiency and safety. In emergencies, single-person work may also make it difficult for workers to obtain timely assistance and support from others.
[0005] Finally, existing pole-climbing devices do not provide comprehensive protection for workers. Although these devices are usually equipped with some basic safety measures, such as safety belts, these measures often fail to provide sufficient protection in actual operations. In addition, some devices may have defects in their design and manufacturing processes, such as insufficient material strength or structural instability, which may also pose a threat to the safety of workers.
[0006] In conclusion, existing pole-climbing devices still have significant limitations. These limitations not only affect the efficiency and quality of high-altitude line work, but more importantly, they pose a potential threat to the safety of workers.
[0007] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems and improve the efficiency of high-altitude operations, it is necessary to improve and innovate the existing pole climbing device and design a new type of pole climbing device to better meet the needs of high-altitude line operations. Summary of the Invention

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the working platform is made of insulating material.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0047] 1. The device of the present invention is equipped with a working platform and a climbing device. The working platform is composed of carbon fiber insulated rods and has a hollow structure. The hollow structure is used for control circuits and primary circuit conduits. A storage battery is installed inside to drive the climbing device and control the movement of the entire device. The climbing device controls the movement of the entire device on the climbing object.
[0048] The work platform is constructed from carbon fiber insulated rods. Carbon fiber is lightweight and high-strength, reducing the overall weight of the device for easy carrying and installation, while ensuring sufficient structural strength to guarantee the safety and stability of the work platform. The overall hollow structure not only reduces the overall weight of the device but also provides storage space for tools.
[0049] 2. The climbing device is equipped with a walking device and a fixing device. The walking device and the fixing device are powered by a hydraulic rod. At the same time, a pressure sensor and a limit switch are installed at the output position of the hydraulic rod. The electrical signal transmitted by the pressure sensor is fed back to the central control panel. The limit switch is used to limit the extension limit of the walking device and confirm whether the climbing device is firmly gripping the climbing object.
[0050] The walking and anchoring devices are powered by hydraulic rods. Hydraulic transmission offers high power and stability, ensuring sufficient driving force and stability for the climbing device during climbing. A pressure sensor is installed at the output position of the hydraulic rod to monitor its working pressure in real time and feed the electrical signal back to the central control console. This allows operators to monitor the climbing device's operating status in real time and take timely measures to prevent overload or malfunction, thus improving safety. By receiving the pressure sensor signal from the central control console, operators can achieve precise remote control of the climbing device. Simultaneously, an interlocking device is installed on the central control console to ensure that either the anchoring or walking device remains firmly in contact with the climbing object during operation, preventing the device from falling.
[0051] 2. An interlock module is installed in the center console. During movement, the fixed device cannot be raised. When the fixed device or the traveling device needs to release force, the pressure on the traveling device and the fixed device must be the same before the other device can release force.
[0052] 3. A steering shaft is installed at the connection point between the hydraulic rod of the walking device and the climbing device. The steering shaft is controlled by a power steering pump and a limit switch. This allows the walking device to freely switch between vertical and horizontal movement modes.
[0053] 4. The opening is fitted with a snap-locking device to accommodate different climbing objects. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0096] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention designs a novel pole climbing device, comprising a working platform 1 and a climbing device 2.
[0097] Example 1:
[0098] like Figure 1As shown, the climbing device 2 is directly fixed to the side of the work platform 1, and the two are set at the same level. The work platform 1 is used for workers to stand on, and can also be used to place the tools needed for workers to carry out electrical work. The climbing device 2 is used to climb up the utility pole, drive the work platform 1 to be positioned at high altitude, and thus carry out high-altitude electrical-related work.
[0099] When workers need to perform high-altitude operations, the cable retractor enters the work platform 1. Inside the work platform 1, the climbing device 2 is remotely controlled to climb upwards. After the climbing device 2 climbs along the cable to the target position, the workers control the climbing device 2 to fix it on the utility pole. After it is fixed, the workers stand inside the work platform 1 to perform electrical-related technical operations.
[0100] A connecting plate 3 is provided between the work platform 1 and the climbing device 2; the connecting plate 3 reinforces the work platform 1 and the climbing device 2 to prevent the work platform 1 and the climbing device 2 from breaking apart during the device's ascent, which could result in injury to the operator.
[0101] The work platform 1 is equipped with a battery and a central control unit. The battery is connected to a rectifier module. The battery supplies power to the electrical devices within the unit, and the central control system processes the instructions input by the staff to assist them in completing their work.
[0102] The work platform 1 is equipped with storage shelves. These shelves not only improve space utilization but also help organize and manage tools needed for high-altitude operations, making the work environment cleaner and more efficient. By making reasonable use of vertical space and reducing the space occupied by the standing board, the entire work area becomes more spacious, which is conducive to personnel flow and operations. This reduces safety hazards caused by the accumulation of tools, such as tripping or collapse, and prevents workers from losing things and reducing work efficiency, or from tripping over things that are left lying around.
[0103] In addition, the shelves can be divided into multiple areas, with tools placed in the corresponding areas and labeled on each area, so that staff can quickly find the tools they need and improve work efficiency.
[0104] The hydraulic rod controller is placed on a shelf and controlled centrally. Staff can then monitor the climbing device 2's operation at any time, adjusting its height and position as needed, thus achieving remote control of the climbing device 2.
[0105] The work platform 1 includes a standing board and a railing 4. The standing board is for workers to stand on, and the railing is used to protect workers and prevent them from falling. The structure of the railing 4 is not fixed and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The railing 4 is fixed to the upper side of the standing board.
[0106] Ladders 5 are installed on both the outer and inner sides of the fence 4. By installing ladders 5 on both the outer and inner sides, workers can choose the most convenient access route according to specific work needs, reducing the time to enter the work platform 1 and improving work efficiency.
[0107] The number of ladders 5 is determined based on the actual situation on site. It can be one set or two sets, depending on the site conditions and the number of people generally needed for high-altitude operations. At the same time, the ladders 5 and the storage racks inside the fence 4 should be staggered.
[0108] A connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the standing platform, and a traveling wheel is connected to the free end of the connecting rod. The traveling wheel is fixed to the bottom of the standing platform through the connecting rod. Thanks to the design of the traveling wheel, this invention, a novel pole-climbing device, can move easily on various contact surfaces without relying on external force for dragging or carrying, greatly improving the convenience and flexibility of use. Whether on a smooth contact surface or a slightly rugged one, the traveling wheel ensures that the device can move stably and quickly to the designated position, saving manpower and time costs.
[0109] Furthermore, the detachable or replaceable wheels make the device of this invention more convenient to maintain and care for. When the wheels are worn or damaged, they can be quickly replaced without the need for a major overhaul or replacement of the entire device, thus reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0110] The climbing device 2 includes an auxiliary ring 2-1, a walking device 2-2, and a fixing device 2-3. The auxiliary ring 2-1 is used to fit around the outside of the pole and provide a fixing point for the walking device 2-2 and the fixing device 2-3. The walking device 2-2 is used to climb up and down on the outside of the pole to realize the up and down movement of the entire device. The fixing device 2-3 is used to fix the entire device on the outside of the pole at the location where power maintenance work needs to be carried out.
[0111] In practical use, first attach the auxiliary ring 2-1 to the outside of the pole and secure it. Then, the worker enters the work platform 1 through the ladder 5 and controls the walking device 2-2 to move up and down along the pole through the hydraulic rod controller. After climbing to the target position, the worker controls the fixing device 2-3 to stick tightly to the outside of the pole to achieve fixation, and then the worker can start the power operation.
[0112] In this embodiment, two climbing devices 2 are provided, fixed to the upper and lower directions of the railing 4 of the working platform 1, respectively. In actual field use, these devices can be added or removed as appropriate, ensuring that the device can carry people uphill without malfunctioning.
[0113] The auxiliary ring 2-1 has an open structure. The walking device 2-2 and the fixing device 2-3 are both fixed inside the auxiliary ring 2-1. The opening of the auxiliary ring 2-1 is the entrance for it to be fitted onto the pole. The walking device 2-2 and the fixing device 2-3 are both close to the outside of the pole, so as to realize the pole climbing operation and fixation of the device.
[0114] The walking device 2-2 includes a first hydraulic rod 2-2-1, a walking belt 2-2-2, a rotating wheel 2-2-3, and a support rod 2-2-4. The first hydraulic rod 2-2-1 is fixed inside the auxiliary ring 2-1, and the support rod 2-2-4 is fixed at the end of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. A first pressure sensor 2-2-5 is provided between the support rod 2-2-4 and the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. The output end of the first pressure sensor 2-2-5 is connected to the central control panel to send the data detected by the pressure sensor to the central control panel.
[0115] An internal gear is provided on the inner side of the walking belt 2-2-2, and an external gear is provided on the outer side of the rotating wheel 2-2-3. The walking belt 2-2-2 and the rotating wheel 2-2-3 are connected by gears.
[0116] A micro motor is installed inside the support rod 2-2-4. The output shaft of the micro motor is connected to the first rotating shaft 2-2-6. The first rotating shaft 2-2-6 passes through the rotating wheel 2-2-3. The micro motor is connected to the central control panel and is manually controlled by the staff. When the staff controls the micro motor to start, it drives the first rotating shaft 2-2-6 to rotate, which causes the rotating wheel 2-2-3 connected to the first rotating shaft 2-2-6 to move, so that the traveling belt 2-2-2 moves up and down along the pole.
[0117] The first hydraulic rod 2-2-1 provides power to ensure that the walking device 2-2 has sufficient force to climb; the walking belt 2-2-2 is used to walk on the utility pole; the rotating wheel 2-2-3 transmits the force of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1 to the walking belt 2-2-2, so that the walking belt 2-2-2 can move along the utility pole; the support rod 2-2-4 connects the rotating wheel 2-2-3 and the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1, fixes the position of the first rotating wheel 2-2-3, transmits the force of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1 to the rotating wheel 2-2-3, and ensures the rotation of the rotating wheel 2-2-3.
[0118] The fixing device 2-3 includes a second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 and a support plate 2-3-2. The second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 is fixed inside the auxiliary ring 2-1, and the support plate 2-3-2 is fixed to the end of the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1. The second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 can extend forward or retract backward. When the device is moved to the target position, the operator controls the extension and retraction of the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1, so that the support plate 2-3-2 moves accordingly, ensuring that the support plate 2-3-2 can be tightly attached to the pole for fixing.
[0119] A support plate 2-3-2 is fixed to the end of the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1. A second pressure sensor 2-3-3 is installed between the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 and the support plate 2-3-2. The second pressure sensor 2-3-3 is remotely connected to the central control console, sending measurement data to the console. The second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 is equipped with a locking valve, which is controlled by a first limit switch. The first limit switch controls the opening and closing of the locking valve. The second limit switch is also remotely connected to the central control console for remote control by the operator.
[0120] To ensure the stability of the device's movement and the safety of the personnel, an interlock module is installed inside the central control panel. Specifically, this module is a program that detects data from the first and second sensors. During ascent or descent, it ensures that the output pressure of the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 is less than the output pressure of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. This prevents the fixed device 2-3 from contacting the pole during ascent, which could affect the movement of the traveling device 2-2. When the device stops on the pole, it ensures that the output pressure of the second hydraulic rod 2-3-1 is the same as the output pressure of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. Only then can the output pressure of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1 be reduced, allowing the traveling device 2-2 to retract and preventing the device from falling.
[0121] Example 2:
[0122] like Figure 3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the structure of the rotating wheel 2-2-3 is further defined. The rotating wheel 2-2-3 includes a driving wheel 2-2-3-1, a first driven wheel 2-2-3-2, and a second driven wheel 2-2-3-3. The three wheels are fixed in a triangle within the traveling belt 2-2-2. The stability of the triangle structure makes the traveling wheels more stable during movement, reducing the shaking caused by external forces. This ensures the smooth operation of the device during the ascent process and improves the overall stability of the device. At the same time, the driving wheel 2-2-3-1 directly drives the first driven wheel 2-2-3-2 and the second driven wheel 2-2-3-3 through the traveling belt 2-2-2, reducing transmission links and thus improving the efficiency of power transmission.
[0123] A connector 2-2-7 is provided on the outer side of the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. The connector 2-2-7 includes a first fixing rod 2-2-3-4 and a second fixing rod 2-2-3-5. The first fixing rod 2-2-3-4 connects the connector 2-2-7 and the first driven wheel 2-2-3-2. The second fixing rod 2-2-3-5 connects the connector 2-2-7 and the second driven wheel 2-2-3-3. The first fixing rod 2-2-3-4 is used to fix the first driven wheel 2-2-3-2, and the second fixing rod 2-2-3-5 is used to fix the second driven wheel 2-2-3-3. The positions of the first driven wheel 2-2-3-2 and the second driven wheel 2-2-3-3 are determined by the connector 2-2-7 to ensure that the position of the driven wheel does not shift during movement.
[0124] The first driven wheel 2-2-3-2 and the first fixed rod 2-2-3-4 are connected by a second rotating shaft;
[0125] The second driven wheel 2-2-3-3 and the second fixed rod 2-2-3-5 are connected by a third rotating shaft.
[0126] When the rotating wheel 2-2-3 moves, the first driven wheel 2-2-3-2 and the second driven wheel 2-2-3-3 need to rotate synchronously. The driven wheel can rotate through the shaft connection, and the traveling belt 2-2-2 allows the driven wheel to rotate with the driving wheel 2-2-3-1.
[0127] Example 3:
[0128] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a steering shaft 2-1-1 is provided between the inner side of the auxiliary ring 2-1 and the first hydraulic rod 2-2-1. The input end of the steering shaft 2-1-1 is connected to a power steering pump, which is connected to a second limit switch. The second limit switch is connected to the central control panel and remotely controlled by the operator. The second limit switch controls the power steering pump, which in turn controls the rotation of the steering shaft 2-1-1. When the walking device 2-2 climbs to the target position, the steering shaft 2-1-1 controls the walking device 2-2 to rotate, changing its vertical up-and-down movement to horizontal rotation along the pole, allowing the operator to perform electrical work from different positions.
[0129] The design of the steering shaft 2-1-1 allows the walking device 2-2 to freely switch between vertical and horizontal movement modes. This design enables the novel pole-climbing device of the present invention to maintain efficient operation in various terrains and working environments. For example, it can be used for electrical work in narrow streets, high-altitude power towers, or complex buildings.
[0130] By remotely controlling the power steering pump via the central control panel, operators can precisely control the travel angle of the walking device 2-2, thus ensuring a stable arrival at the work position. This not only saves time but also reduces the need for manual adjustments to the equipment, significantly improving work efficiency.
[0131] Example 4:
[0132] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a hook 2-1-2 is provided at one end of the opening position of the auxiliary ring 2-1, and a protrusion 2-1-3 and a connecting groove 2-1-4 are provided at the end of the hook 2-1-2; a groove 2-1-5 is provided at the other end of the opening position of the auxiliary ring 2-1.
[0133] The protrusion 2-1-3 and the groove 2-1-5 correspond to each other. When fixing the auxiliary ring 2-1, the connection can be completed by inserting the protrusion 2-1-3 at the end of the hook 2-1-2 into the groove 2-1-5.
[0134] To accommodate poles of different diameters, multiple grooves 2-1-5 are provided, with the specific number determined based on actual site conditions. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the connection between the two ends of the auxiliary ring 2-1's opening while accommodating poles of different sizes, a connecting groove 2-1-4 is provided on the side of the hook 2-1-2. When the auxiliary ring 2-1 is closed, one side of the groove 2-1-5 corresponds to the connecting groove 2-1-4, and the hook 2-1-2 is attached to the appropriate groove 2-1-5, thus achieving stability when the auxiliary ring 2-1 is closed.
[0135] Example 5:
[0136] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, hanging rings 2-1-6 are provided on both outer sides of the opening of the auxiliary ring 2-1, and elastic components 2-1-7 are provided between the hanging rings 2-1-6.
[0137] The elastic hanging component is preferably a spring. After the auxiliary ring 2-1 is closed, the two ends of the elastic component 2-1-7 are respectively hooked into the hanging ring 2-1-6, which further reinforces the closure of the auxiliary ring 2-1 and prevents the device of the present invention from falling accidentally when it rises.
[0138] Example 6:
[0139] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, in order to ensure that the fixing device 2-3 and the pole skin can fit tightly, the support plate 2-3-2 adopts an arc-shaped structure with the same curvature as the pole skin, and a wear-resistant layer is also provided on the inner side of the support plate 2-3-2.
[0140] The wear-resistant layer is preferably made of rubber. Rubber is a special material with strong wear resistance and can undergo multiple up-and-down frictions with the auxiliary ring 2-1.
[0141] In addition, the rubber material has good adhesion and sealing properties, and the elastic deformation ability of rubber allows it to adapt to the slight unevenness of the pole surface, achieving a tighter fit, so that the fixing device 2-3 can fit the pole more tightly.
[0142] When the device of the present invention rises or falls to the target position and stops, the strong friction of the wear-resistant layer and the slight adhesion between the rubber and the surface of the pole can also ensure that the device of the present invention can be fixed on the outside of the pole.
[0143] In addition, the wear-resistant layer can also be made of other materials with similar wear-resistant properties to rubber, such as silicone, acrylic rubber, wear-resistant putty, and wear-resistant ceramics. As long as the above advantages are achieved, the choice of material for the wear-resistant layer is not fixed.
[0144] Example 7:
[0145] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiments, various practical situations may be encountered during power inspection or maintenance work. Upon arriving at the work site, workers often face uncertainty regarding the nature of the work; they may have originally planned to inspect equipment but unexpectedly discovered the need for immediate maintenance. Changes in the work content necessitate changes in the required tools or materials.
[0146] Therefore, pulleys 6 are installed at the edge of the connecting plate 3. Tools can be transferred to the work site via pulleys 6. Workers only need to fix the required tools or materials to the pulley system 6, and then, through simple operation, the tools can be safely and quickly transferred to the work site. This reduces the risks to workers moving at heights or in confined spaces, improves operational safety, and ensures that the transfer of tools or materials can be carried out smoothly and safely.
[0147] In addition, to ensure smooth tool transfer, the surface of pulley 6 can be specially treated to reduce frictional resistance, making the tool transfer process smoother and effectively saving the physical exertion of workers.
[0148] Example 8:
[0149] Based on the above embodiments, the standing board is selected to be circular.
[0150] The standing plate is round, which can make better use of the standing space in the work platform 1, eliminate unnecessary edges and corners, reduce the overall weight of the device, and make the pressure less during the device's ascent.
[0151] Fence 4 adopts an internally hollow columnar structure. Fence 4 is similar to a barrel structure, and its cross-section is the same as that of the standing board.
[0152] In addition, depending on the on-site working environment and the reserved space at the work site, other shapes can also be selected for the standing board. Correspondingly, the fence 4 is adjusted according to the structure of the standing board to ensure that the interior is hollow so that the staff can stand on it.
[0153] Example 9:
[0154] Based on the above embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the device during the lifting process, a fixing layer is provided on the outside of the walking belt 2-2-2.
[0155] The fixing layer is preferably made of rubber or polyurethane resin.
[0156] Rubber possesses good elasticity and wear resistance, allowing it to adapt well to the deformation and wear of the 2-2-2 running belt. Simultaneously, rubber has a high coefficient of friction, providing better grip. However, rubber may undergo performance changes under high or low temperature environments, such as hardening or softening, thus affecting its stability and service life.
[0157] Polyurethane resin possesses excellent strength and abrasion resistance, enabling it to withstand significant loads and impacts. Furthermore, it exhibits good corrosion resistance, allowing it to adapt to various harsh environments. However, polyurethane resin is relatively expensive, and it may undergo chemical changes under certain conditions, such as strong acid or alkali environments.
[0158] Choose different materials depending on the environment.
[0159] Example 10:
[0160] Based on the above embodiments, the work platform 1 is made of insulating material, which can meet the safety requirements of high-altitude power equipment maintenance and other operations.
[0161] Carbon fiber is the preferred material, which is lightweight and high-strength, making the entire device lighter, easier to carry and install, while ensuring sufficient structural strength to ensure the safety and stability of the work platform.
[0162] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0163] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this invention. It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims.
