[0030] The present utility model proposes a safety device for a wind turbine climbing-free device.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the safety device 1 of the wind turbine climbing aid includes a climbing ladder 11, a climbing aid main unit 12 and a fall arrester slider 13. A guide rail 111 is provided on one side of the climbing ladder 11. The climbing aid main unit 12 is arranged on the side facing the guide rail 111 and is slidably connected to the climbing ladder 11. The climbing aid main unit 12 includes a sensor, a controller 122 and a working switch 123. The sensor is arranged on the side of the climbing aid main unit 12 away from the ground, and the controller 122 is arranged inside the climbing aid main unit 12. The controller 122 is provided with a signal receiving end 1221, and the signal receiving end 1221 is electrically connected to the sensor. The controller 122 is connected to a power supply 1222 and controls the on-off of the circuit. The working switch 123 is used to control the start and stop of the climbing aid main unit 12. The fall arrester slider 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 111, and the fall arrester slider 13 is electrically connected to the sensor.

[0032] In this embodiment, the safety device 1 of the wind turbine climbing aid is used in the maintenance work scenario of the wind turbine tower. The climbing ladder 11 provides a vertical passage for the wind turbine tower. The climbing aid main unit 12 is used inside the wind turbine tower to help personnel perform vertical lifting safely and efficiently. The fall arrester slider 13 is a safety protection device for high-altitude operators and can be quickly braked and locked. The sensor is used to detect the presence of an object without physical contact when the fall arrester slider 13 approaches the sensing surface of the sensor by a certain distance and outputs its state through an electrical signal. Here, the sensor includes but is not limited to a proximity switch 1211 (switch-type sensor), a displacement sensor, etc. The controller 122 is used to monitor the operating state of the climbing aid main unit 12 and receive operation instructions. The working switch 123 is used to control the switching device of the climbing aid main unit 12.

[0033] By adding a sensor at the contact position between the climbing aid main unit 12 and the fall arrester slider 13, the occurrence of fall accidents can be well prevented. When an operator rides on the climbing aid, one end of the operator hangs the fall arrester slider 13. At this time, the fall arrester slider 13 is installed between the guide rail 111 on the climbing ladder 11 and the climbing aid main unit 12. The fall arrester slider 13 will contact the climbing aid main unit 12 under the action of its own gravity, thereby triggering the sensor. The sensor is used to sense the proximity position of the fall arrester slider 13 and the climbing aid main unit 12. The sensor is triggered to send a control signal and send the control signal to the signal receiving end 1221 of the controller 122. After receiving the signal, the controller 122 turns on the power supply 1222, so that the internal circuit of the climbing aid main unit 12 is closed. At this time, press the working switch 123, and the climbing aid main unit 12 starts to work and move up and down, ensuring that the operator must hang the fall arrester slider 13 when using the climbing aid main unit 12 to start the wind turbine climbing aid. Due to the presence of the fall arrester slider 13 and its cooperation with the climbing aid, the occurrence of falling safety accidents during the operation of the operator is greatly reduced.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the sensor includes a proximity switch 1211. The proximity switch 1211 is electrically connected to the controller 122 and is disposed at one end of the host 12 of the climbing-free device facing the anti-falling slider 13. The proximity switch 1211 is a switch-type sensor that can accurately detect the position of the anti-falling slider 13. When the anti-falling slider 13 enters the detection range of the proximity switch 1211, the proximity switch 1211 is triggered and emits a signal, which is transmitted to the controller 122. The controller 122 conducts the power supply 1222 according to the received signal, and at this time, the closed loop is conducted. The operator then operates the working switch 123, and the host 12 of the climbing-free device starts to work for lifting and moving. This setting method of the sensor does not require contact detection, which helps to reduce wear and damage, and can also respond quickly and accurately locate, reducing manual intervention.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the sensor further includes a push-button sensor 1212. The push-button sensor 1212 emits a signal after being in contact with the host 12 of the climbing-free device through the anti-falling slider 13. The push-button sensor 1212 is electrically connected to the controller 122. The push-button sensor 1212 can detect and respond to the pressure applied to the surface of the sensor. When the anti-falling slider 13 moves downward under its own gravity and contacts the host 12 of the climbing-free device, the push-button sensor 1212 is triggered and emits a signal, which is transmitted to the controller 122. The controller 122 conducts the power supply 1222 according to the received signal, and at this time, the closed loop is conducted. The operator then operates the working switch 123, and the host 12 of the climbing-free device starts to work for lifting operation. This setting method of the sensor can accurately measure and has high sensitivity, quickly respond to pressure changes, and improves the use safety.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present utility model, an unlocking key 131 is provided at one end of the anti-falling slider 13 away from the host 12 of the climbing-free device. The unlocking key 131 is used to reset the anti-falling slider 13 after being triggered. The unlocking key 131 can trigger the unlocking mechanism of the anti-falling slider 13 by manual pressing. In an emergency, the unlocking key 131 allows the anti-falling slider 13 to be safely reset, reduces the equipment downtime, and quickly cuts off the locking mechanism of the anti-falling slider 13.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the host 12 of the climbing-free device is further provided with at least a pair of handrails 124, and each handrail 124 is correspondingly disposed on both sides of the host 12 of the climbing-free device.

The indicator light 125 is electrically connected to the controller 122 in a wireless manner, receives control signals, and the controller 122 sends signals according to the operating state of the climbing-free device. The indicator light 125 decodes these signals and converts them into optical signals. This setting method enables the operator to understand the effect of the current operation through the color of the indicator light 125.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the host 12 of the climbing-free device is further provided with a bearing part 126. The bearing part 126 is hinged to the host 12 of the climbing-free device, and the bearing part 126 is provided with anti-slip protrusions. In order to provide stable support and optimize space utilization, the bearing part 126 is provided to be hinged to the host 12 of the climbing-free device, and anti-slip protrusions are provided. The anti-slip protrusions are used to increase friction. This setting method can increase the friction coefficient of the platform surface and help maintain the stability of personnel and equipment.

The cooperation of such positioning gears 127 and the guide rail 111 ensures the stable operation of the climbing-free device on the vertical or inclined guide rail 111 and prevents deviation.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the safety device 1 of the fan climbing-free device further includes a driving part 14. The driving part 14 is connected to the guide rail 111 through gears and is located on the back side of the host 12 of the climbing-free device.
