At present, the catwalk surface layer is generally composed of wire mesh and wooden squares, with a high height, a large slope, and difficult walking, belonging to high-risk operations. Moreover, under the action of pulsating wind, the vibration effect of the catwalk is obvious, resulting in difficulties for operators to walk, time-consuming and laborious, easy to produce fatigue, poor comfort, and low operation efficiency. The span of suspension bridges is getting larger and larger. At present, the main span of suspension bridges in China has exceeded the 2000-meter level, and the corresponding catwalk length also exceeds 4000 meters. If the conventional catwalk design is still adopted, it will take 2 - 3 hours for construction workers to walk through the catwalk once, and 4 - 6 hours if they turn back, with extremely high operation intensity and it is difficult to guarantee the construction efficiency and quality of personnel. Therefore, an overhead manned device inside the gantry of a catwalk for an extra-long span suspension bridge is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

Specific embodiments

[0023] As Figure 1-7 shown, an overhead manned device inside the gantry of a super-long span suspension bridge catwalk includes a plurality of gantry catwalk brackets 1 and a catwalk main body 2 provided on the bottom beam of the gantry catwalk bracket 1. A cable supporting wheel set 3 is provided on the upright column of the gantry catwalk bracket 1. A traction rope 5 is tensioned between the cable supporting wheel sets 3. The traction rope 5 is in transmission connection with the traction driving mechanisms at both ends thereof. A manned device 4 is hoisted on the traction rope 5.

[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the traction system composed of the cable supporting wheel set 3, the traction rope 5 and the traction driving mechanism is a common technical means for cableway transportation, so it will not be described in detail here. Through this traction system, the manned device 4 can be driven to move above the catwalk main body 2, thereby achieving the effect of transporting workers.

[0025] The manned device 4 includes a connecting frame 41. A hoisting frame 42 is provided at the center of the top of the connecting frame 41. A traction cable gripper 43 connected to the traction rope 5 is provided on the hoisting frame 42. The connecting frame 41 hoists a manned seat 45 through a lifting mechanism 44 provided thereon in a liftable manner.

[0026] By providing the lifting mechanism 44, the effect of lifting and lowering the manned seat 45 can be achieved. Furthermore, the traction system and the manned seat 45 can be arranged at a certain height from the catwalk main body 2, so as not to affect the normal work on the catwalk main body 2. When getting on and off personnel, only the manned seat 45 needs to be lifted and lowered.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism 44 includes two winding mechanisms 441 and a driving device 442 that is drivingly connected to the two winding mechanisms 441 at the same time. The two winding mechanisms 441 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting frame 42. Pulling ropes with ends connected to the manned seat 45 are wound around both of the two winding mechanisms 441. By providing the two winding mechanisms 441, the effect of smoothly lifting and lowering the manned seat 45 can be achieved. In addition, by using the method of using the same driving device 442 to drive the two winding mechanisms 441, the synchronization of the winding and unwinding of the two winding mechanisms 441 can be ensured.

[0028] Among them, the winding mechanism 441 includes two symmetrically arranged vertical plates 4410 and a winding drum 4411 that is rotatably arranged between the two vertical plates 4410 through a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the vertical plate 4410 and is connected to a worm gear 4412. Among them, bearings are provided on both of the two vertical plates 4410, and the rotating shaft of the winding drum 4411 is arranged through the bearings, so as to realize the winding and unwinding of the pulling rope through the rotation of the winding drum 4411.

[0029] The driving device 442 includes two support bearings 4420 fixedly arranged on the connecting frame 41, a transmission rod 4421 arranged through the two support bearings 4420, two worm gears 4423 fixedly arranged on the transmission rod 4421, and a driving mechanism 4424 arranged on the connecting frame 41 and drivingly connected to the transmission rod 4421. The power of the driving mechanism 4424 can drive the transmission rod 4421 to rotate in the two support bearings 4420, and then drive the two worm gears 4423 to rotate.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 4424 is formed by drivingly connecting a driving motor and a speed reducer, and the end of the transmission rod 4421 is drivingly connected to the output end of the speed reducer.

[0031] In addition, the helix directions of the two worm gears 4423 are opposite, and they are respectively drivingly connected to the worm gears 4412 of the two winding mechanisms 441, so that the two winding mechanisms 441 can rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the two worm gears 4423, achieving the effect of synchronous winding and unwinding.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, grooves 411 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 41, and pulleys 412 are arranged in the grooves 411. The pulling ropes wound outside the winding mechanism 441 are connected to the manned seat 45 after passing through the pulleys 412 to form a wrap angle. The pulleys 412 are concave pulleys, which can limit the pulling ropes therein. By providing the pulleys 412, the friction force can be effectively reduced.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the manned seat 45 includes a seat body 450. The seat body 450 is arranged at an elevation angle. A backrest frame 451 is fixedly provided at the top end of the backrest of the seat body 450. A vertically upward hanging frame 452 is fixedly provided at the center of gravity of the seat body 450. A connecting portion 453 is fixedly provided between the backrest frame 451 and the hanging frame 452. The overall stability of the manned seat 45 can be effectively improved through the connecting portion 453. A lug 454 is provided at the top of the hanging frame 452. The end of the pulling rope is connected to the lug 454.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a plug-in portion 456 is provided at the top of the hanging frame 452. A pin hole 457 is provided on the plug-in portion 456. A shroud portion 414 corresponding to the plug-in portion 456 is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame 41. When the manned seat 45 rises to the topmost position, the plug-in portion 456 is inserted into the shroud portion 414. An automatic plug and unplug pin 415 that can penetrate the pin hole 457 is provided on the shroud portion 414. The manned seat 45 can be locked during movement through the automatic plug and unplug pin 415, and thus the winding mechanism 441 is in a pressure relief state.

[0035] The above embodiments are only the preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be regarded as limitations on the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
