Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of buffer technology, and more specifically to a flat plate buffer. Background Technology

[0002] As a core energy absorption and shock absorption protection device, the shock absorber is widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, transportation, construction engineering, and electronic equipment. Its technological development has always revolved around three core aspects: energy buffering efficiency, structural stability, and scenario adaptability. After multiple generations of iteration, it has integrated technological achievements from multiple fields such as materials science, mechanical design, and fluid mechanics, becoming a key component to ensure equipment operation safety, extend service life, and improve user experience.

[0003] As one of the applications of buffers, rope buffers are mainly used to absorb the instantaneous impact force generated when a rope is under stress, protecting personnel, equipment, and the rope itself. They are widely used in high-altitude operations, outdoor rescue, mountaineering and exploration, power maintenance, and other scenarios. Their technological development has always revolved around three core aspects: buffering efficiency, load-bearing capacity, and scenario adaptability, integrating achievements from multiple fields such as materials science and mechanical design, and has become a key device for ensuring the safety of rope operations.

[0004] Early rope buffers mostly used simple knots and rubber sleeves, which could only achieve basic buffering and had problems such as short buffering stroke, uneven absorption of impact force, and easy damage to the rope.

[0005] Currently, rope buffers have been segmented by application scenario. High-altitude work models emphasize lightweight and portability, employing a foldable energy-consuming structure; outdoor rescue models prioritize impact resistance, capable of withstanding instantaneous impacts of several tons; and power maintenance models emphasize corrosion resistance and aging resistance, adapting to harsh outdoor environments. However, the industry still faces common pain points, such as unclear breaking force and high manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a square buffer that solves the problems of unclear breaking force and high manufacturing cost.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A flat-plate buffer includes a top connector, wave-dissipating components, functional points, and a tail connector. The top connector is located at the right end of the buffer. The wave-dissipating components are connected to the upper and lower sides of the left end of the top connector, respectively. The left ends of the wave-dissipating components on the upper and lower sides are connected to the tail connector. The inner sides of the wave-dissipating components on the upper and lower sides are connected to the tail connector through several functional points. The tail connector is L-shaped. The top connector, wave-dissipating components, functional points, and tail connector are integrally formed.

[0009] Furthermore, the top connector has a top hanging hole at its center, and the tail connector has a tail hanging hole at its center.

[0010] Furthermore, the functional points are arranged symmetrically on the top and bottom, and the common fracture force of the symmetrically arranged functional points is 12~14kN.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This application eliminates assembly errors through an integral molding process, making the force distribution of each functional point more uniform; the wave-type stress relief component yields stepwise along the preset folds under impact, achieving controllable and progressive energy absorption; the functional points are structurally optimized to ensure that the breaking force is stably controlled in the range of 12~14kN, thereby significantly improving the predictability and safety of the buffering process; the L-shaped tail connector and the top hanging hole together form a dual-point suspension structure, improving installation adaptability and stress stability, and effectively preventing suspension tilting or slippage; the overall structure is compact, with no moving parts, making it easy to maintain and with lower manufacturing costs than traditional multi-part assembled buffers.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for 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 limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of this application shows a flat-plate buffer, including a top connector 1, wave-dissipating components 2, functional points 3, and a tail connector 4. The top connector 1 is provided at the right end of the buffer. Wave-dissipating components 2 are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the left end of the top connector 1. The left ends of the wave-dissipating components 2 on the upper and lower sides are respectively connected to the tail connector 4. The inner sides of the wave-dissipating components 2 on the upper and lower sides are connected to the tail connector 4 through a plurality of functional points 3. The tail connector 4 is U-shaped. The top connector 1, wave-dissipating components 2, functional points 3, and tail connector 4 are integrally formed.

[0020] The top connector 1 has a top hanging hole 5 at its center, and the tail connector 4 has a tail hanging hole 6 at its center.

[0021] Function point 3 is set symmetrically at the top and bottom. The common fracture force of the symmetrically set function points 3 is 12~14kN.

[0022] Figure 1 a is a schematic diagram of the front structure. Figure 1 b is a schematic diagram of the side structure.

[0023] In use, connect the top hanging hole 5 to the main load-bearing rope and the tail hanging hole 6 to the worker's safety belt or anchor point. When a fall impact occurs, the impact energy is first generated by the initial plastic deformation of the wave crest and trough structure of the wave stress relief component 2, and then the functional point 3 fractures synchronously under the preset load threshold, thereby realizing the graded dissipation of energy and the precise release of load, avoiding sudden failure caused by local stress concentration, and ensuring that the impact load triggers the synchronous fracture of all functional points in the range of 12~14kN, thereby ensuring that all functional points achieve synchronous and deterministic fracture in the load range of 12~14kN.

[0024] If the outer casing breaks and deforms significantly, it can also indicate to the user that the lifeline has been strained and the device should not be used further.

[0025] In summary, this invention provides a flat-plate buffer. This device eliminates assembly errors through an integrated molding process, resulting in a more uniform force distribution across all functional points. The wave-damping components yield gradually along pre-set folds under impact, achieving controllable, progressive energy absorption. Structural optimization of the functional points ensures that the breaking force is stably controlled within the 12-14kN range, significantly improving the predictability and safety of the buffering process. The L-shaped tail connector and top hanging hole together form a dual-point suspension structure, enhancing installation adaptability and stress stability, effectively preventing suspension tilting or slippage. The overall structure is compact, with no moving parts, facilitating maintenance and reducing manufacturing costs compared to traditional multi-part assembled buffers.

[0026] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of implementation methods of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
