Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-altitude manned passage, and in particular to a climbing device with an anti-falling function applicable to various environmental working conditions and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] When navigating high-risk environments during daily work, especially those involving vertical climbing, navigating slopes, or a combination of multiple working conditions, personnel frequently climb and navigate these environments, exposing themselves to the risk of falling from heights. To ensure the safety of climbing personnel, effective protective measures are generally mandatory for these personnel before they can navigate these environments. For example, during equipment maintenance, these environments often require frequent daily navigation, placing high demands on the physical fitness of personnel. In today's modern world, effectively ensuring the safety of workers, reducing the amount of energy they consume during the climbing process, and preserving sufficient energy for subsequent operations, are issues that our managers urgently need to address.
[0003] At present, in order to reduce the excessive physical exertion of workers during climbing, there are some climbing aids on the market to assist in the passage of vertical parts. However, such climbing aids have the following defects:
[0004] 1. Limited travel. For example, wire rope climbing aids are operated by pulling and lifting the wire rope. The wire rope reciprocates between the upper and lower guide wheels. When the travel distance is too large, the wire rope is prone to shaking. In addition, the equipment is located in an outdoor environment with a large temperature difference between day and night, resulting in thermal expansion and contraction. This makes it very easy for the rope to come off, which poses certain risks to the device.
[0005] Second, the application range is narrow and can only be used in dry and comfortable environments. It cannot be used in humid environments, especially in areas where some traffic areas may be submerged under water due to hydropower operation conditions, so wire rope climbing equipment cannot be used;
[0006] 3. The device itself does not have a fall prevention function. Currently, the climbing assistance devices on the market do not have a fall prevention function. If the braking device fails under extreme working conditions, the device itself cannot brake and stop at the fault position in a timely and safe manner, and cannot protect the safety of passengers.
[0007] Fourth, the application scenarios are limited. Mainstream products on the market only provide solutions for climbing in vertical working conditions. However, in actual working environments, there are many inclined working conditions or combinations of multiple working conditions. For these working conditions, there is no solution that can solve the above-mentioned problem of continuous manned access. It is urgent to find a method that can simultaneously solve vertical working conditions, inclined working conditions, and multiple working conditions to reduce the volume of personnel and ensure the safe and efficient implementation of maintenance work. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a climbing device with an anti-fall function suitable for a variety of environmental working conditions and a method of use. It is used for workers in high-risk environments such as vertical climbing, slope passage or alternating combinations of multiple working conditions to provide a safe and reliable manned climbing assistance safety protection for workers, realize the safety protection of people climbing and passing in complex and dangerous environments, and ensure the safety of workers.

[0024] In a preferred solution, the safety monitoring system is used to monitor whether the safety devices provided on the climbing device are safe and reliable, and dynamically monitor whether the surrounding environment before and after the climbing device is safe during operation;
[0025] The monitored data information is sent to the monitoring system, and the system makes a judgment on whether the equipment is powered on or off based on the detection situation, thereby controlling the operation or shutdown of the equipment;
[0026] Passengers can also manually determine whether the equipment is running or not by looking at the operating status on the video display screen.
[0027] The method for using the above-mentioned climbing device with anti-fall function applicable to various environmental working conditions includes the following steps:
[0028] 1) Track system installation
[0029] Install the track system along the entire length of the personnel passage area, and simultaneously install anti-fall rails along the entire length of the guide rails;
[0030] 2) Installation of climbing device
[0031] Install the climbing device onto the track system in the right direction, and adjust the balance of the device to ensure that the output gear of the device is effectively engaged with the rack of the track system, and the anti-fall brake rod of the fall brake system is installed into the anti-fall guide rail in the forward direction;
[0032] 3) Installation of personnel fall protection device
[0033] Install the personnel fall protection device onto the fall protection guide rail in the forward direction, and then install the anti-return plate on the fall protection guide rail to prevent the personnel fall protection device from sliding out of the fall protection guide rail. Process the overlapping brake platform, the safety brake rod avoidance groove and the thrust plate installation threaded hole on the guide rail body;
[0034] 4) Passengers on board
[0035] Passengers fasten their seat belts, stand on the footrests with both feet, effectively connect the seat belts to the personnel fall protection device, and hold the operating levers tightly with both hands;
[0036] 5) People going up and down
[0037] 5.1) The personnel fall protection device is released from the braking state
[0038] The passenger pulls the personnel anti-fall device backward through the chest hanging point of the anti-fall safety belt, so that the personnel anti-fall device is effectively separated from the anti-fall platform of the guide rail, and the passenger can climb down to pass;
[0039] 5.2) The device's anti-fall system is released from the braking state
[0040] The personnel lift both hands upwards to effectively separate the anti-fall brake rod from the anti-fall guide rail, and press the power button with both hands. The system will perform a self-check. After the self-check equipment is normal, the device will be powered on and move;

[0042] The fall arrest protection process specifically includes the following steps:
[0043] When an accident occurs to the passing equipment or personnel, the anti-fall system will be automatically activated to protect the personnel and equipment:
[0044] 1) Braking status of personnel fall protection device
[0045] When the personnel fall protection device loses the external force and the personnel falls downward, the functional parts of the personnel fall protection device are restricted to the falling position by the anti-fall platform of the anti-fall guide rail, thereby achieving reliable protection for the falling personnel;
[0046] 2) Braking status of the device's anti-fall system
[0047] When the device loses power and cannot stop, the passengers will naturally press down the operating lever with both hands according to the situation, so that the anti-fall brake rod of the device is close to the anti-fall platform of the anti-fall guide rail, thereby effectively preventing the device from falling. At the same time, the anti-fall device can also effectively prevent the device from falling under the action of the anti-fall brake system's own weight and the spring reset function.
[0048] The present invention provides a climbing device with a fall prevention function applicable to various environmental working conditions and a method of use. By adopting the above structure and method, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0050] (2) Due to the design that combines the straight track system and the corner track system, it can not only be used in vertical working conditions, but also adapt to slopes or environments with a combination of various working conditions, meeting the traffic needs of workers in various working environments on site;
[0051] (3) The anti-fall braking system integrates safety brake parts, automatic reset torsion springs and manual unlocking linkage parts, etc., which can effectively brake the device when a failure occurs, prevent falling accidents and ensure the safety of users;
[0052] (4) The manned walking device adopts a split structure, which is convenient for on-site transportation and installation. At the same time, the device has a light weight, is easy to operate, has high reliability, can quickly respond to user needs, and improve work efficiency;

The device consists of a safety brake component, an automatic reset torsion spring for the anti-fall position, and a manual unlocking linkage component.
[0082] The safety monitoring system is the main safety monitoring component. It mainly senses the device's position status, safety lock status, passenger posture and boundary environment perception to ensure the safety of the device and passengers during operation. It can also predict and sense faults, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to carry out maintenance and inspections in a timely manner.
