Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of zip-line rescue, and particularly relates to an automatic zip-line rescue device. Background Art

[0002] A zip-line belongs to a large-scale non-powered amusement facility, usually installed in scenic spots or other outdoors, with both ends fixed on the columns of the upper and lower stations respectively. The columns of the upper and lower stations are usually hundreds of meters apart. Therefore, the length of the load-bearing cable is also hundreds of meters. During operation, relying on the height difference between the upper and lower stations, and relying on the weight of passengers and the trolley, overcoming the friction between the trolley and the load-bearing cable and a certain wind resistance, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and after passing through the lowest point of the load-bearing cable, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy to complete the operation.

[0003] If the passengers and the trolley cannot slide to the lower station and stop in the middle due to reasons such as the light weight of the passengers, wind resistance or trolley jamming, rescue needs to be carried out. For a type of zip-line that is straight and not equipped with electric recovery, the traditional method is to use manual force to push out the rescue trolley to hook the passenger trolley and then manually tow it back for rescue. However, this is only applicable to short-distance rescue, not applicable to long-distance rescue, and the labor intensity of the staff is large and the labor cost is high. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic zip-line rescue device to solve the problems in the above background art that the traditional method is to use manual force to push out the rescue trolley to hook the passenger trolley and then manually tow it back for rescue, but this is only applicable to short-distance rescue, not applicable to long-distance rescue, and the labor intensity of the staff is large and the labor cost is high.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An automatic zip-line rescue device, including a vehicle frame, and a drive box and a power box fixed on the upper and lower sides of the vehicle frame. Two rotating shafts are rotatably connected in the drive box. Driving wheels are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, and a drive motor is installed on one inner wall of the drive box;

[0006] A lithium battery is installed on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the power box, and a protective plate is fixed on the lower half inner wall of the power box. A plurality of compression springs are fixed on the surface of the protective plate, a connecting rod is fixed on the surface of the compression spring, two mounting brackets are installed on the surface of the connecting rod, and a tension pulley is rotatably connected in the mounting bracket;

[0007] A fixed box is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the vehicle frame. Two damping buffers are installed in the fixed box, a buffer plate is installed at the end face of the damping buffer, a buffer pad is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the buffer plate, a protective box is fixed on the surface of the fixed box, and a capture rod is rotatably connected in the protective box.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a first bevel gear is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a limiting plate is fixed inside the drive box, and two rotating shafts are rotatably connected inside the limiting plate.

[0009] In a further embodiment, a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is fixed to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a third bevel gear is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft.

[0010] In a further embodiment, a drive shaft is fixed to the output end of the drive motor, and two fourth bevel gears meshing with the third bevel gear are fixed to the outer wall of the drive shaft.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a rotating motor is installed on one inner wall of the protective box, a connecting shaft is fixed to the output end of the rotating motor, and the capture rod is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting shaft.

[0012] In a further embodiment, limiting frames are fixed to the outer walls on both sides of the vehicle frame, two through holes are formed in the limiting frames, and limiting columns are movably connected in the through holes of the limiting frames.

[0013] In a further embodiment, two groups of threaded grooves are formed in the outer wall of the limiting column, and fixing bolts are bolted to the two groups of threaded grooves of the limiting column.

[0014] Technical effects and advantages of the present utility model:

[0015] For this zip-line automatic rescue device, by the operation of the drive motor, it can drive four drive wheels to rotate simultaneously, so that the rescue device can automatically move on the zip-line to the position of the trapped person. At the same time, the capture rod is hung on the pulley, and when the drive motor rotates in the reverse direction, it can automatically pull the pulley to move, and rescue the trapped person to a safe position. This not only improves the rescue speed, but also does not require manual rescue of the trapped person, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also reduces the labor cost.

[0016] Through the damping buffer, in cooperation with the buffer plate and the buffer pad, when the rescue device accidentally collides with the trapped pulley, it can play an effective buffering effect, thereby reducing the impact force generated by the collision and ensuring the safety of the trapped person. At the same time, the two limiting frames cooperate with the limiting columns to further limit the position of the rescue device, further ensuring the safety of the rescue device during operation.

[0017] By supporting the connecting rod with the compression spring, the friction between the drive wheel, the tensioning wheel and the zip-line steel wire rope is increased, thereby ensuring the stability of the zip-line between the drive wheel and the tensioning wheel. This zip-line automatic rescue device can not only shorten the rescue time, reduce the labor cost, but also be safer and more reliable in use. Description of the Drawings

However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some well-known technical features in the art are not described.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, the up, down, left, right, front, back, inner and outer directions involved in this article are based on the up, down, left, right, front, back, inner and outer directions in the figures shown in the present invention, and are hereby explained together.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present utility model provides a zip line automatic rescue device, which includes a vehicle frame 1, and a drive box 2 and a power box 13 fixed on the upper and lower sides of the vehicle frame 1. Two rotating shafts 3 are rotatably connected in the drive box 2 through welded bearings. Driving wheels 4 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 3. A groove matching the steel wire rope of the zip line is formed on the outer wall of the driving wheel 4. In order to protect the steel wire rope on the zip line and prevent the driving wheel 4 from wearing the steel wire rope during operation, the driving wheel 4 is made of ductile iron. A bevel gear one 5 is welded on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3. A limiting plate 6 is welded in the drive box 2. Two rotating shafts 7 are rotatably connected in the limiting plate 6 through welded bearings. The positions of the rotating shafts 7 correspond to the positions of the rotating shafts 3. A bevel gear two 8 meshing with the bevel gear one 5 is welded at the bottom of the rotating shaft 7. A bevel gear three 9 is welded at the top of the rotating shaft 7;

[0029] A drive motor 10 is installed on one inner wall of the drive box 2 through bolts. The output end of the drive motor 10 is fixed with a drive shaft 11 through a coupling. Two bevel gears four 12 meshing with the bevel gear three 9 are welded on the outer wall of the drive shaft 11. The drive motor 10 drives the drive shaft 11 and the bevel gears four 12 to rotate. The bevel gears four 12 drive the rotating shafts 7 and the bevel gears two 8 to rotate through the bevel gears three 9. The bevel gears two 8 drive the rotating shafts 3 to rotate through the bevel gears one 5, thereby driving the driving wheels 4 to rotate and driving the rescue device to automatically move on the zip line. When one drive motor 10 works, it can drive four driving wheels 4 to rotate simultaneously, which saves more cost. A long-distance remote control transceiver and an electromagnetic brake controller are respectively installed on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the drive box 2. The long-distance remote control transceiver and the electromagnetic brake controller are prior arts, and their structures will not be described in detail here. The rescue device can be remotely controlled through the long-distance remote control transceiver. At the same time, the electromagnetic brake controller automatically brakes when power is cut off and the vehicle stops, making it safer to use. An installation groove is formed on one outer wall of the drive box 2, and an infrared induction switch is installed in the installation groove of the drive box 2. The infrared induction switch is a prior art, and its structure will not be described in detail here. When the infrared induction switch detects an obstacle, it stops the drive motor 10 from working, thereby automatically stopping the vehicle, and can safely and timely stop the vehicle when rescuing and capturing the sliding trolley to prevent collision;

[0030] The bottom wall of the inner cavity of the power box 13 is equipped with a lithium battery 14. The lithium battery 14 can provide power for the electrical equipment on this device. And the inner wall of the lower half of the power box 13 is fixed with a protective plate 15 by bolts. The protective plate 15 can effectively protect the lithium battery 14. A plurality of compression springs 16 are welded and fixed on the surface of the protective plate 15. A connecting rod 17 is welded on the surface of the compression spring 16. Through grooves for the connecting rod 17 to move are opened on the outer walls on both sides of the power box 13. Two mounting brackets 18 are installed on the surface of the connecting rod 17 by bolts. The two mounting brackets 18 are located on both sides of the power box 13. And a tension pulley 19 is rotatably connected in the mounting bracket 18. A groove matching the steel wire rope of the cable is also opened on the outer wall of the tension pulley 19. By supporting the connecting rod 17 with the compression spring 16, the friction between the driving wheel 4, the tension pulley 19 and the cable steel wire rope is increased, preventing the rescue device from slipping due to insufficient anti-sliding force of the rescue device, thereby ensuring the stability of the cable between the driving wheel 4 and the tension pulley 19;

[0031] A fixed box 20 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the vehicle frame 1 by bolts. Two damping buffers 21 are installed in the fixed box 20. And a buffer plate 22 is installed at the end face of the damping buffer 21. A buffer pad 23 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the buffer plate 22. The buffer pad 23 can be made of rubber material. Through the damping buffer 21, cooperating with the buffer plate 22 and the buffer pad 23, when the rescue device accidentally collides with the trapped trolley, it can play an effective buffering effect, thereby reducing the impact force generated by the collision and ensuring the safety of the trapped personnel;

[0032] A protective box 24 is welded on the surface of the fixed box 20. A rotary motor 25 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the protective box 24 by bolts. And the output end of the rotary motor 25 is fixed with a connecting shaft 26 through a coupling. A catching rod 27 is welded on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 26. By driving the connecting shaft 26 and the catching rod 27 to rotate through the rotary motor 25, the catching rod 27 can be quickly hung on the inner wall of the trapped trolley. At the same time, when the rotary motor 25 rotates in the reverse direction, the catching rod 27 can be quickly separated from the trapped trolley;

[0033] Limit brackets 28 are welded on the outer walls on both sides of the vehicle frame 1. Two through holes are opened on the limit brackets 28. And a limit column 29 is movably connected in the through holes of the limit brackets 28. Two groups of threaded grooves are opened on the outer wall of the limit column 29. And fixing bolts are bolted outside the two groups of threaded grooves of the limit column 29. The two fixing bolts are respectively attached to both sides of the limit bracket 28, which can fix the position of the limit column 29. The limit brackets 28 are located outside the steel wire rope of the cable. Cooperating with the limit column 29, the position of the rescue device can be restricted, further ensuring the safety of the rescue device during operation.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] When the zip-line automatic rescue device is in use, the rescue device is placed on the steel wire rope of the zip-line. The two steel wire ropes on the zip-line are respectively located in the grooves of the driving wheels 4 and the tensioning wheels 19 on both sides of the driving box 2. When rescue is needed, the driving motor 10 is started, driving the driving shaft 11 and the bevel gear four 12 to rotate. The bevel gear four 12 drives the rotating shaft 7 and the bevel gear two 8 to rotate through the bevel gear three 9. The bevel gear two 8 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate through the bevel gear one 5, thereby driving the driving wheel 4 to rotate and driving the rescue device to move automatically on the zip-line.

[0038] When the device moves to the rescue position, the driving motor 10 stops working, causing the rescue device to stop moving and maintain a stable state. The rotating motor 25 is started, driving the connecting shaft 26 and the catching rod 27 to rotate, so that the catching rod 27 quickly hooks on the inner wall of the trapped trolley. The driving motor 10 rotates in the reverse direction, automatically pulling the trapped trolley to move and rescuing the trapped person to a safe position.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
