Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of transport tools, and particularly relates to an anti-falling mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Handling tools often have a lifting function, achieved by extending them through multiple slidingly connected rails. Existing rails are often connected by a rack-and-pinion structure. A motor drives the gears, which mesh with the racks on the rails and the gears on the motor, allowing the rails to extend and thus rise and fall. However, existing rails often lack locking mechanisms. If the motor fails, the load and the rails will fall synchronously, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, a fall prevention mechanism is needed to overcome this difficulty. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model designs an anti-fall mechanism. The utility model provides a locking bolt assembly between the fixed guide rail and the movable guide rail, and locks the two by a toothed roller to prevent the movable guide rail from automatically and quickly sliding down in a free fall state. The structure is simple and the use is safe and reliable.

[0005] Preferably, the movable guide rail is provided with a plurality of guide wheels rotatably connected thereto at both ends, and the fixed guide rail is provided with guide grooves arranged in pairs; the guide grooves extend along the axial direction of the fixed guide rail, and the guide wheels are slidably installed in the guide grooves.
[0006] Preferably, the guide wheels are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the movable guide rail, and the guide grooves are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the fixed guide rail; the outer contours of the guide wheels and the outer contours of the guide grooves match each other, and the left and right spacing of the two guide wheels and the left and right spacing of the two guide grooves are adapted to each other.
[0007] By providing the guide wheel, the movable guide rail can slide more smoothly relative to the fixed guide rail; the guide wheel is limited by the guide groove, which prevents the movable guide rail from separating from the fixed guide rail.
[0008] As preferred, the lock bolt assembly further comprises a roller and a limiting pin; the roller is fixedly installed on the bolt column, and a toothed roller is rotatably connected to the roller; the bolt column is fixedly connected with the limiting pin; the bottom of the wedge block is provided with a support portion, and a compression spring is arranged between the support portion and the limiting pin; the end of the compression spring is provided with a sliding washer, and the sliding washer abuts against the support portion; the fixed guide rail is provided with a guide groove, and the toothed roller is arranged between the guide groove and the wedge block.
[0009] As preferred, the support portion is provided with a mounting hole penetrating the bolt column; the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the outer diameter of the bolt column, and the diameter of the mounting hole is smaller than the sliding washer; one end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting pin, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the sliding washer.
[0010] As preferred, the toothed rollers are arranged in pairs on the roller; the wedge block is provided with an inclined surface, and an included angle is arranged between the inclined surface and the inner wall of the guide groove; the toothed roller is arranged close to the inclined surface.
[0011] As preferred, the included angle between the inclined surface and the inner wall of the guide groove is smaller than the self-locking rotation angle of the toothed roller; a gap is arranged between the toothed roller and the guide groove in a non-free fall state; and the movable guide rail can move up and down relative to the fixed guide rail; in a free fall state, the toothed roller moves up along the inclined surface, and the gap between the guide groove and the wedge block disappears.
[0012] As preferred, the fixed guide rail and the movable guide rail are arranged in parallel with each other, and the fixed guide rail and the movable guide rail are both provided with a mounting; the lock bolt assembly moves along the vertical direction.
[0013] The lock bolt assembly has a certain weight, and the compression spring is in a compressed state in a default state, at which time the fixed guide rail and the movable guide rail are both in a non-free fall state; at this time, the bolt column penetrates into the mounting hole, and the toothed roller abuts against the inclined surface of the wedge block; in this way, a gap is left between the toothed roller and the guide groove of the fixed guide rail, the lock bolt assembly is in an unlocked state, and the movable guide rail can freely slide up and down relative to the fixed guide rail; when the movable guide rail is in a falling state, the movable guide rail approaches a free fall motion; the lock bolt assembly is in a weightless state, the compression spring automatically retracts to move the lock bolt assembly as a whole upward; when the lock bolt assembly moves upward, the toothed roller moves along the inclined surface of the wedge block, and finally the toothed roller abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove; at this time, the gap between the toothed roller and the guide groove of the fixed guide rail disappears, and the lock bolt assembly is in a locked state, thereby preventing the movable guide rail from continuing to fall. At this time, the movable guide rail can still be lifted by an external force.
[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The relative movement of the movable and fixed guide rails facilitates automatic adjustment of their extension lengths. 2. The automatic cooperation of the locking bolt assembly and the compression spring prevents the movable guide rail from rapidly falling in a free-fall state, resulting in a good locking effect and safe and reliable use.
