Specific Embodiments
[0036] The present utility model provides an anti-falling device applied to a straight-ladder tower crane. This anti-falling device adopts a unique design principle and structure, and can quickly activate the braking system and lock the falling trajectory once an accidental fall occurs during the operation of an operator climbing the straight ladder, effectively protecting the life safety of the operator.
[0037] The present utility model effectively solves the risks of falling and bumping that the operators of straight-ladder tower cranes may face during the process of climbing up and down the tower, and significantly improves the operation safety. The specific technical solution is as follows: An anti-falling device applied to a straight-ladder tower crane, as Figure 3 shown, includes:
[0038] The housing 1, which is a hollow box body with openings at the bottom and top, is detachably connected to the bottom shell 2 and the cover plate 3 respectively, and a round hole 4 is opened on the bottom shell 2;
[0039] As Figure 6 shown, a guide rail groove 18 is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1 in the vertical direction, and both ends of the support shaft 5 slide inside the guide rail groove 18, and the guide rail groove 18 is used to limit the sliding direction of the support shaft 5;
[0040] An anti-falling device 6 is provided on the support shaft 5;
[0041] The anti-falling device 6 includes: a driven block 12, a ratchet wheel 8, ratchet teeth 9, a support block 10, a pin shaft 13, a spring 15, a screw 14, and a winding drum 7;
[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the winding drum 7 is rotatably sleeved on the support shaft 5.
[0043] As Figure 5 shown, a safety rope 17 is fixedly sleeved on the winding drum 7. When the winding drum 7 rotates forward, the safety rope 17 is retracted. When it rotates backward, the safety rope 17 is released;
[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the upper part of the support block 10 is an inwardly concave semi-circular structure, which forms a fit with the ratchet wheel 8 to provide stable support for the ratchet wheel 8. Two pin holes 11 are opened at the lower end of the support block 10;
[0045] There are two driven blocks 12, which are respectively installed in the pin holes 11 through the pin shafts 13 and can rotate around the pin shafts.

[0047] When the winding drum 7 is subjected to a downward pulling force, the winding drum 7 together with the ratchet wheel 8 and the support block 10 are pressed downward, and the pin shaft 13 is pressed downward, thereby driving the two driven blocks 12 to hold tightly;
[0048] As Figure 2 shown, screws 14 are respectively provided at the tops of the two driven blocks 12, and the two ends of the spring 15 are fixed by the screws 14.

[0049] As Figure 6 shown, the lower part of the anti-falling device 6 is elastically connected to the bottom case 2 through a spring pad 16.
[0050] Embodiment:
[0051] I. Structural composition
[0052] A specific anti-falling device in this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, mainly consists of the following parts:
[0053] Housing 1: Made of high-strength material, such as Figure 3As shown, it is a hollow box body with openings at both the top and bottom. The top and bottom surfaces of the housing 1 are respectively connected to the bottom shell 2 and the cover plate 3 by bolts or other fastening methods, facilitating the installation and maintenance of internal components.
[0054] The bottom shell 2 is provided with a circular wire hole 4 for passing the safety rope through.
[0055] Support shaft 5: As Figure 4 shown, it is installed on the inner side wall of the housing 1 and is used to support and fix the main components of the anti-falling device 6.
[0056] Anti-falling device 6, as Figure 5 shown, includes the following components:
[0057] Drum 7: It is installed on the end face of the ratchet 8 and is connected to the safety rope. The drum can rotate around the support shaft 5 to realize the retraction and extension of the safety rope 17.
[0058] Ratchet 8: It is fixedly connected to the drum 7, and ratchet teeth 9 are provided at both ends of the circumference, and no ratchet teeth are provided in the middle of the circumference to reduce the frictional resistance.
[0059] Ratchet teeth 9: They are respectively provided at both ends of the circumference of the ratchet 8 and inside the arc-shaped groove of the driven block 12 and are used to engage and lock during braking.
[0060] Support block 10: The upper part is an inwardly concave semi-circular structure, which forms a fit with the ratchet 8 to provide stable support for the ratchet. Two pin holes 11 are opened at the lower end of the support block.
[0061] Driven block 12: As Figure 1 shown, two symmetrical driven blocks are installed in the pin holes 11 through pins 13 and can rotate around the pins. An arc-shaped groove is provided on one side of the driven block, and ratchet teeth are provided inside the groove, corresponding to the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 8.
[0062] Pin 13: Connects the driven block 12 and the support block 10, enabling the driven block to rotate around the pin.
[0063] Screw 14: It is installed at the upper end of the driven block and is used to fix the spring 15 and adjust the compression force of the spring.
[0064] Spring 15: It is a compression spring, as Figure 2 shown, it is installed at the upper end of the driven block and is fixed by the screw 14. The function of the spring is to keep the driven block at a certain angle when there is no external force, without affecting the normal rotation of the ratchet and the drum.
[0065] II. Installation method
[0066] Install the housing 1 at an appropriate position on the tower crane straight ladder to ensure that the housing 1 is stable and does not shake.
[0067] Install the support shaft 5 on the inner side wall of the housing 1 and adjust it to the appropriate position.
[0068] Install the reel 7 on the end face of the ratchet 8 and connect the safety rope properly.
[0069] Install the ratchet 8 on the support block 10.
[0070] Install the two driven blocks 12 in the pin holes 11 of the support block 10 through the pins 13 to ensure that the driven blocks can rotate freely.
[0071] Install the spring 15 and the screw 14, and adjust the compression force of the spring so that the driven blocks maintain a certain angle when not subject to external forces.
[0072] III. Working Principle
[0073] When the operator climbs the straight ladder normally, the reel 7 rotates with the retraction and release of the safety rope, and the ratchet 8 and the driven blocks 12 remain relatively stationary, without affecting the normal activities of the operator.
[0074] Once an accidental fall occurs, the safety rope is subjected to a downward pulling force, driving the reel 7 and the ratchet 8 to quickly press down. At this time, the pin 13 is subjected to a downward pressure, pushing the driven block 12 to rotate around the pin, so that the ratchet teeth on the inner side of the arc grooves of the two driven blocks are engaged with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 8, thereby locking the ratchet and the reel and preventing the safety rope from continuing to be released, achieving the purpose of fall prevention.
[0075] Since the fall arrester in this embodiment adopts a multi-ratchet design, the braking is rapid and reliable, which can effectively avoid the risk of bumping during the fall of personnel and ensure the life safety of the operator. At the same time, the fall arrester has a compact structure and is convenient to install, and is applicable to various models of straight-ladder tower cranes.
[0076] The present utility model provides an idea and method for a fall arrester applied to a straight-ladder tower crane. There are many methods and ways to specifically implement this technical solution. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model. Each component not clearly defined in this embodiment can be implemented by using the existing technology.
