Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for building construction, and in particular to an adjustable working platform for disc-lock scaffolding. Background Technology

[0002] In construction engineering, modular scaffolding is widely used in high-rise building structural construction and exterior wall decoration work due to its advantages such as strong load-bearing capacity, high erection efficiency, and high degree of standardization. However, when this type of scaffolding is also used as an operating frame for exterior wall work, its single-step height is usually large (usually 2 meters or more), which makes it impossible for workers to directly perform high-altitude work within a single step.

[0003] There are three main traditional solutions:

[0004] 1. Adding horizontal bars and scaffold boards: Horizontal bars are erected at the joints of the single-step inner uprights, and scaffold boards are laid to serve as temporary working platforms. Although this method can increase the working height, it lacks standardized practices, the scaffold board materials are inconsistent, the boards are not laid securely, and there is no edge protection, posing safety hazards such as falls and collapses.

[0005] 2. Illegal stacking of materials: Workers illegally used brick blocks, formwork and other materials to stack up temporary platforms. The concentrated stacking of materials not only increases the load on the frame and is prone to causing the frame to become unstable, but also makes the platform unstable and prone to overturning and falling accidents.

[0006] 3. Random use of miscellaneous items: Workers randomly use buckets, boxes, and other items as auxiliary tools for climbing, which have unknown load-bearing capacity and poor stability, posing a great safety risk.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a standardized, adjustable, and reusable auxiliary aerial work platform to solve the safety hazards and management problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable working platform for disc-lock scaffolding, which aims to achieve rapid vertical adjustment and stable horizontal movement of the platform, and improve work safety.

[0009] The present invention provides an adjustable working platform for disc-lock scaffolding, comprising a support assembly and a working platform. The support assembly is detachably installed at the disc-lock nodes of the disc-lock scaffolding uprights. The working platform is height-adjustable and lockable along the vertical direction of the support assembly and can be driven to move horizontally.

[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly includes at least four support uprights and slide rails mounted on the support uprights. The two ends of the support uprights are detachably mounted at the disc-lock nodes of the disc-lock scaffold. The support uprights are provided with a number of positioning holes spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the slide rail is installed on the support pole via a connecting member, and the connecting member is selectively inserted into positioning holes of different heights via pins to achieve height adjustment and locking of the slide rail and the work platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the working platform includes a base plate and a guardrail, and the base plate is provided with a sliding component that slides in conjunction with the slide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes at least one drive component, which is mounted on one side of the sliding member of the base plate and includes a drive motor and a transmission gear. The output end of the drive motor is provided with the transmission gear for driving the work platform to move along the slide rail.

[0014] Furthermore, a rack that meshes with the transmission gear is provided on one side of the slide rail along its length, and the rack has limiting structures at both ends.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive assembly has a gear protective cover on its external transmission gear.

[0016] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a control unit, which receives control signals and controls the drive motor to rotate, thereby driving the work platform to move.

[0017] Furthermore, the guardrail is also equipped with an infrared recognition alarm system, which includes an infrared transmitter and a receiver located at two diagonal positions on the top edge of the guardrail. The system is used to identify trampling behavior and object placement behavior along the four sides of the top edge of the guardrail and to issue an alarm.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The adjustable working platform for disc-lock scaffolding of this invention significantly improves construction efficiency and adaptability by detachably installing support components at the disc-lock nodes and utilizing support uprights with positioning holes and connecting components to achieve rapid vertical adjustment and locking of the working platform. Simultaneously, the horizontal electric movement of the platform is achieved through slide rails, sliding components, and a drive assembly including a drive motor and transmission gears, solving the problems of difficult lateral movement and repeated disassembly and assembly required by traditional platforms, thus greatly reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, an infrared recognition alarm system is installed diagonally at the top of the guardrail, accurately monitoring trampling and object placement through an infrared light curtain, effectively preventing falls from heights and falling object accidents. Combined with the transmission gear protective cover and the rack end limit structure, the stable operation and safe movement of the drive system are further guaranteed. Overall, the working platform achieves a comprehensive improvement in flexibility, convenience, and active safety protection capabilities. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] As shown in the figure, the adjustable working platform for disc-lock scaffolding in this embodiment includes a support assembly and a working platform 8. The support assembly is detachably installed at the disc-lock nodes 11 of the inner and outer uprights of the disc-lock scaffolding via bolts through connecting ends at both ends, providing a stable structural support and load-bearing support for the entire working platform. The working platform 8 is installed in cooperation with the slide rail 1 in the support assembly via a sliding component 3. It can be adjusted to multiple height levels in the vertical direction of the support assembly and quickly locked with pins, and can also be driven to move continuously in the horizontal direction. This allows the working platform 8 to be adjusted in all dimensions within the single-step scaffolding space, meeting the needs of high-altitude construction at different working surfaces and heights.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support assembly includes at least four vertically arranged support poles 7 and slide rails 1 installed on the support poles 7. The support poles 7 are made of steel profiles and have dedicated connecting ends at both ends. They are detachably installed between the upper and lower layers of disc-lock nodes 11 of the disc-lock scaffold by bolt fastening, forming an independent and stable vertical support system. Several positioning holes are punched or drilled at standard modular intervals along the vertical direction on the support poles 7 for cooperation with the connecting components 2 of the slide rails 1, so as to realize the precise adjustment and firm positioning of the slide rails 1 and the working platform 8 in the height direction.

[0029] In this embodiment, the slide rail 1 is installed on the support pole 7 through a specially designed connecting member 2. One side of the connecting member 2 is fastened to the back of the slide rail 1 by bolts, and the other side is provided with a slot structure that matches the cross-section of the support pole 7, and can slide up and down along the support pole 7. The connecting member 2 passes through its own pin hole and is selectively inserted into positioning holes at different heights on the support pole 7 by a pin, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment, accurate alignment and reliable locking of the slide rail 1 and the work platform 8 installed on it in the vertical direction. No complicated tools are required, which is convenient for repeated disassembly and relocation on the construction site.

[0030] In this embodiment, the work platform 8 includes a base plate and a guardrail 9. The base plate is made of anti-slip steel grating or patterned steel plate, which has sufficient load-bearing rigidity and impact resistance. A sliding component 3 that cooperates with the slide rail 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate. The sliding component 3 is made of wear-resistant composite material or steel snap-fit ​​structure, which forms a multi-point contact and adjustable gap sliding pair with the slide rail 1 to ensure the stability and guiding accuracy of the work platform 8 when moving horizontally. The guardrail 9 consists of longitudinal guardrails and transverse guardrails, which are welded into a frame structure using steel pipes and have a safety protection height of not less than 1.2 meters. The bottom of the guardrail 9 is connected to the frame of the base plate by bolts, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0031] In this embodiment, at least one drive component is also included. The drive component is installed on one side of the sliding member 3 of the base plate and uses a drive motor 4 as a power source. The output end of the drive motor 4 is equipped with a transmission gear 5. The bidirectional movement of the work platform 8 along the slide rail 1 is realized by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

[0032] The drive assembly also includes a control unit, which receives control signals from a remote operating terminal or a local control panel via wired or wireless communication, and outputs control commands to drive the drive motor 4 to rotate, thereby achieving real-time and precise control of the walking motion of the work platform 8. At the same time, the control unit supports both inching and continuous movement modes, which makes it convenient for operators to remotely or locally control the platform position within the work platform 8, significantly improving the convenience of human-machine interaction and operational reliability of the system, and fully meeting the diverse needs for efficient and precise control of the platform position in complex working environments.

[0033] In this embodiment, a precision rack 6 that meshes with the transmission gear 5 is provided along the length of one side of the slide rail 1. The rack 6 is made of high-strength steel and the tooth surface is hardened. The back of the rack 6 is reliably fixed to the slide rail 1 body by connecting bolts. Mechanical limit blocks or buffer rubber limiters are respectively provided at both ends of the rack 6 to prevent the work platform 8 from exceeding the safe travel range during horizontal movement, thus ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission gear 5 of the drive component is provided with a gear protective cover 10. The gear protective cover 10 adopts a detachable structure design and can be opened with heat dissipation holes on its surface. It can effectively prevent debris, dust or falling objects from entering the gear meshing area during construction and causing jamming or damage, and facilitate daily inspection, cleaning and maintenance.

[0035] In this embodiment, the guardrail 9 is also equipped with an infrared recognition alarm system. The infrared recognition alarm system includes an infrared transmitter and a receiver located at two diagonal positions on the top edge of the guardrail 9, forming an infrared light curtain detection area distributed along the four sides of the guardrail 9. The system can identify trampling behavior, material placement behavior, or foreign object intrusion along the upper edge of the guardrail 9 in real time, and issue an audible and visual alarm signal when triggered. At the same time, it can be wirelessly connected to the smart construction site safety management platform to realize remote monitoring, recording, and early warning linkage, effectively preventing violations and safety hazards in high-altitude edge operations.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
