Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection equipment technology, and in particular to a novel overhead roller slider for a single steel cable horizontal lifeline. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal lifelines must be equipped with lifeline supports (including intermediate supports or steering supports) at regular intervals to support the wire rope, keep the wire rope horizontal and prevent it from sagging. After the wire rope passes through the intermediate support, there will be a raised height difference at the support position that is higher than the wire rope.

[0003] Horizontal lifeline sliders need to move freely on horizontally installed lifeline wire ropes. Currently, all overhead sliders on the market require manual pulling to pass the height difference of the protrusion when passing the lifeline support. However, due to the limited width of the sliding channel between the lifeline slider and the wire rope, there is a high probability that manually pulling will cause the front end of the slider to tilt up, resulting in the lifeline slider interfering with the lifeline support and preventing it from moving freely and smoothly. This is especially true for overhead-installed horizontal lifelines, because their installation height is much higher than head height, making it impossible for the hand to reach the lifeline slider. When stuck, the only solution is to pull the safety rope below the slider multiple times to allow it to pass the lifeline support.

[0004] However, whether the front end of the slider is pulled up or the safety rope below the slider is pulled to force passage, it will cause irreversible damage to the slider, which will lead to the risk of workers falling during use. At the same time, it is also easy for workers to make mistakes by forcibly operating the slider because it is not easy to grip it. Utility Model Content

[0005] To ensure that the slider does not tilt up and interfere with the support seat when passing the lifeline support, and to have better passing performance, reduce the risk of construction workers falling, and facilitate high-altitude gripping, this utility model provides a new type of overhead roller slider for single steel cable horizontal lifelines.

Specifically, the roller 9 is limited between the fixed front plate 5, the fixed back plate 1, and the panel 2 by the custom bushing 32 to ensure that the position of the roller 9 in the moving slider will not deflect after assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, the end of the pin 31 that connects to the fixed rear plate 1 is provided with a limiting thread 311, which can ensure the uniformity of the assembly; the pin 31 is equipped with a riveting fixing head 312, which ensures the stability of the assembly.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the locking device 4 is a manual spring locking device 4 with a limit locking pin. The front plate 5 is integrally formed with a slot 53 that slides with the locking device 4 and a locking hole 54 for locking. When the button of the locking device 4 is pressed, the front plate 5 is unlocked and can move within the range limited by the slot 53. The locking device 4 is equipped with a spring device. The manual button drives the front limit locking pin to move. After releasing the button, it automatically returns to the locked state. The locking device 4 is threaded and connected to the rear plate 1.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a further embodiment, the rocker arm 7 is installed between the panel 2 and the fixed front plate 5. The panel 2 has a movable groove 10. The rocker arm 7 can swing left and right in the movable groove 10 by sliding the limiting rod 8 and the swing range is limited by the movable groove 10.

[0041] Panel 2 has two bolt mounting holes that can be used with pin 31. With the help of a custom bushing 32, the front panel 5 can be moved up and down to fix it while panel 2 is fixed.

[0042] Panel 2 can also be labeled with a logo to improve recognizability.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4In a further embodiment, the movable rocker arm 7 is cut from a steel plate and has a fall deformation indicator groove 71 on the top, which can be visually reflected when a person falls; the end of the rocker arm 7 extending out of the fixed front plate 5 is integrally formed with an eccentric bend 72, and the eccentric bend 72 is provided with an enlarged hanging hole 73, and the position of the hanging hole is always directly below the moving slider under normal use, without deflection; the enlarged hanging hole 73 can be used to hang various safety hooks.

[0044] The implementation principle of the novel overhead roller slider for a single steel cable horizontal lifeline in this embodiment of the invention is as follows:

[0045] 1.

[0047] This utility model embodiment discloses a novel overhead roller slider for a single-cable horizontal lifeline, employing a triple anti-derailment mechanism for the steel wire rope as follows:

[0048] 1. The slider limiter has an opening facing downwards that mates with the lifeline support, hanging on the wire rope like a hook, and will not fall off when under stress.

[0049] 2. The joystick 7 has a sliding limit rod 8, which moves within the limit groove of the fixed front plate 5. In the event of a fall, it will form a fulcrum to prevent the moving slider from flipping over.

[0050] 3. Even when the moving slider is flipped, the wire rope can be confined within the narrow channel of the slider to prevent it from falling off due to the limiting opening formed between the fixed rear plate 1 and the fixed front plate 5.

[0051] The principle of preventing misoperation of a novel overhead roller slider for a single steel cable horizontal lifeline according to this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0052] 1. When using the lifeline moving slider, a safety hook, safety rope or fall arrestor must be suspended below the main attachment point of the rocker arm 7. The moving slider of this design can only be opened when the rocker arm 7 is pushed upward. It must be in the closed state when in use and is limited by a locking device 4 to avoid the risk of falling due to misoperation.

[0053] 2. The movable slider can only be opened by two steps. The conditions are that you must stand in a safe area, not under any force, and you must press the button by hand and push the fixed front plate 5 or the joystick 7 upward to open the movable slider. This can completely prevent workers from accidentally causing the lifeline wire rope to come off.

[0054] 3. To move the slider, simply hang it upwards on the wire rope and pull it down to lock it, which is convenient and quick.

[0055] 4. This design has a compact structure, clearly defined functions for each part, conforms to ergonomic design, is easy to grip, and is extremely simple to open and lock.

[0056] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
