DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The terms used in the present application are those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functions of the present application, but these terms can be changed according to the intention of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technology in the art. In addition, specific terms can be selected by the applicant, and in this case, the detailed meaning thereof will be described in the detailed description of the present application. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of the present application.

[0020] The present embodiment provides a support device suitable for an exoskeleton, as shown in Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the exoskeleton 1 is provided with a support assembly 2, including a tool frame 21 for placing small parts and a tool back frame 22 for loading large tools such as ladders, and when in use, the worker can first wear the exoskeleton 1, and then place the tools according to the classification, in turn, into the tool frame 21 and on the tool back frame 22, so as to facilitate the worker to carry various tools needed in the maintenance work in harsh environment.

[0021] As shown in the drawings, the exoskeleton 1 is provided with a support assembly 2, including a tool frame 21 for placing small parts and a tool back frame 22 for loading large tools such as ladders, and when in use, the worker can first wear the exoskeleton 1, and then place the tools according to the classification, in turn, into the tool frame 21 and on the tool back frame 22, so as to facilitate the worker to carry various tools needed in the maintenance work in harsh environment. Figure 2As shown, two support rods 221 are provided on the side of the tool frame 21 away from the exoskeleton mecha 1, and a load-bearing rod 222 is fixedly installed between the support rods 221 and the tool frame 21. Therefore, when installing slender and flexible tools such as ropes, workers can directly and securely wrap the ropes around the load-bearing rod 222. The sturdiness and stability of the load-bearing rod 222 ensure that the ropes will not loosen or slip during transportation and operation, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation. (See attached...) Figure 2 It is clearly visible that both ends of the support rod 221 extend to the outside of the tool frame 21. This design not only increases the practicality and flexibility of the support rod 221, but also provides great convenience for installing large tools. When installing large and heavy tools such as ladders, workers can directly and securely hang the ladder on the upper end of the support rod 221. The mutual contact between the ladder and the support rod 221 ensures that the ladder remains stable during suspension and will not fall due to shaking or external forces, thus effectively ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent maintenance work by the operators.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, longitudinal straps 23 and transverse straps 24 are installed between the support rod 221 and the tool frame 21. These two types of straps work together to form a stable fixing system. When installing various tools onto the tool back frame 22, workers can use the longitudinal straps 23 to tightly bind the tools vertically, ensuring that the tools will not slide or shift in the vertical direction. At the same time, the transverse straps 24 are used to firmly fix the tools horizontally, preventing the tools from shaking or falling off. This double binding method greatly enhances the stability of the tools during transportation, effectively avoiding safety accidents that may be caused by tools falling off, and providing a more reliable safety guarantee for tool transportation.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the two support rods 221 of the tool back frame 22 adopt a splayed arrangement, and the gap between them decreases in turn in the direction away from the ground. Since in actual operation, ladders have various specifications and sizes, and the traditional fixed support structure often cannot adapt to such diversity, resulting in some ladders being unable to be stably bundled. The splayed design of the two support rods 221 in this embodiment makes the upper gap of the support rods 221 smaller, suitable for bundling smaller size ladders; while the lower gap is larger, which can accommodate and stably bundle larger size ladders. This design not only increases the use range of the tool back frame 22, making it able to adapt to the bundling needs of more specifications of ladders, but also improves the versatility and flexibility of the tool back frame 22. In addition, the splayed support rod 221 structure is also more stable in mechanics, can effectively disperse the pressure generated by the ladder on the support rod 221, and reduce the risk of deformation or damage of the support rod 221 due to long-term bearing of heavy objects. Therefore, this design not only improves the practicality of the tool back frame 22, but also enhances its durability and safety.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2 , the longitudinal bundling belt 23 and the transverse bundling belt 24 are both provided with a bundling belt lock piece 25. When fixing tools, the longitudinal bundling belt 23 and the transverse bundling belt 24 can be fixed through the bundling belt lock piece 25 to avoid falling off and affecting the fixing of the tools.

[0025] As can be seen from Figure 4 , the bundling belt lock piece 25 includes a lock plate 251 and a lock plug 252, and the lock plug 252 is fixedly installed on both sides of the lock plate 251. The lock plate 251 is internally provided with a receiving groove 254 for accommodating the lock plug 252 and a lock rod 253, and the receiving groove 254 is provided with a lock slot 255 on both sides. The end of the receiving groove 254 close to the lock plug 252 penetrates the lock plate 251. The lock rod 253 is provided with a lock protrusion 256 that is engaged with the lock slot 255. The end of the lock plug 252 and the lock plate 251 away from each other is provided with a connecting groove 257. The lock plug 252 and the lock plate 251 are both hinged to the transverse bundling belt 24 and the longitudinal bundling belt 23 through the connecting groove 257. The lock rod 253 is made of elastic material. Therefore, when bundling tools, the lock protrusion 256 can be pressed to move from the lock slot 255 to the receiving groove 254, releasing the limitation of the lock slot 255 on the lock rod 253. At this time, the lock plug 252 can be pulled out of the receiving groove 254, and the transverse bundling belt 24 or the longitudinal bundling belt 23 can be wound around the tool. Then the lock rod 253 and the lock plug 252 are inserted into the receiving groove 254. Through the cooperation of the lock protrusion 256 and the lock slot 255, the movement of the lock rod 253 and the lock plug 252 in the receiving groove 254 is limited, achieving the operation of fixing the tools.

[0026] In combination withFigure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the exoskeleton armor 1 and the tool frame 21 are provided with an exoskeleton back plate 31, and the exoskeleton back plate 31 is fixedly connected with the exoskeleton armor 1, and the exoskeleton back plate 31 is provided with a connecting threaded hole 32, and the side of the tool frame 21 close to the exoskeleton back plate 31 is provided with a one-word threaded hole 33 corresponding to the connecting threaded hole 32, and the connecting threaded hole 32 and the one-word threaded hole 33 are threadedly installed with a detachable threaded rod 34, both ends of the detachable threaded rod 34 are respectively penetrated through the exoskeleton back plate 31 and the tool frame 21, and one end of the detachable threaded rod 34 located in the tool frame 21 is fixedly installed with a one-word partition plate 35 slidably installed with the one-word threaded hole 33, and the position of the detachable threaded rod 34 close to the one-word partition plate 35 is not provided with a thread.

[0027] In the process of installing the tool frame 21, first, the one-word partition plate 35 is rotated to the position state aligned with the one-word threaded hole 33. Then, one end of the detachable threaded rod 34 and the one-word partition plate 35 are penetrated through the one-word threaded hole 33. Next, the detachable threaded rod 34 is started to be rotated through the one-word partition plate 35. As the detachable threaded rod 34 is gradually screwed in, the distance between the tool frame 21 and the exoskeleton back plate 31 will gradually decrease until they are tightly attached together. Thus, the installation of the tool frame 21 and the exoskeleton back plate 31 is realized, and when the rotation is finished, the position of the one-word partition plate 35 is perpendicular to the one-word threaded hole 33. Because in the actual use process, the detachable threaded rod 34 is prone to thread slipping due to long-term bearing of heavy objects or external force impact, and due to the perpendicular arrangement of the one-word partition plate 35 and the one-word threaded hole 33, the tool frame 21 can be effectively prevented from falling off the exoskeleton back plate 31 in the first time, thereby avoiding possible safety accidents and work interruption. Therefore, this installation method and structure design not only improves the installation efficiency and stability of the tool frame 21, but also significantly enhances the safety and reliability of the device in use.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 The side of the exoskeleton back plate 31 away from the exoskeleton armor 1 is provided with a rotating groove 36, and the rotating groove 36 is rotatably installed with a carrying plate 37 for carrying the tool frame 21, the carrying plate 37 is provided with an adsorbing magnetic block 38, and the rotating groove 36 is also provided with an adsorbing magnetic groove 39 for accommodating the adsorbing magnetic block 38.

[0029] Because the two ends of the rotating groove 36 are not penetrated, when the tool frame 21 needs to be installed, the staff can first rotate the bearing plate 37 to the state of being in close contact with one end of the rotating groove 36. At this time, the bearing plate 37 can provide a solid bottom support platform for the subsequently installed tool frame 21. When the staff places the tool frame 21 on the bearing plate 37, the bearing plate 37 will immediately stably support the bottom of the tool frame 21. This support effectively disperses the gravity of the tool frame 21 and the tools inside it on the overall structure. The direct tension on the exoskeleton back plate 31 is significantly reduced, thereby improving the structural stability and safety of the entire device.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are only embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present application.
