Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of platform safety door technology, specifically a rope fixing mechanism for railway platform safety doors. Background Technology
[0002] Railway platform screen doors are safety facilities installed on the edge of railway platforms, primarily used to separate the platform from the track area. When trains enter or leave the station, they effectively prevent passengers from falling onto the tracks and prevent passengers' belongings or platform equipment from accidentally falling into the track area, ensuring the safety of passengers and train operation. Railway platform screen doors come in various forms. The most common type in subways is the glass platform screen door, but this is costly and limited by train speed (high wind resistance), making it unsuitable for high-speed rail applications. Conventional platform lift doors primarily use safety ropes to prevent people or items from falling onto the tracks. After the train arrives at the station and comes to a complete stop, the ropes rise, allowing passengers to board and alight. Outside of these times, the safety ropes are evenly spaced from top to bottom, providing a barrier. The advantages of platform lift doors are: low cost, low wind resistance, and ease of maintenance. Therefore, platform lift doors are gradually becoming a development trend for maintaining the safety of high-speed rail platforms.
[0003] Platform lift doors use ropes as the main protective structure, but in practical applications, the following problems exist: 1) Complex fixing method: multiple (e.g., 12) protective ropes are used on both sides, with a total of 24 points that need to be tightened at both ends; 2) Conventional use of screws cannot guarantee a tight fit, which can easily lead to the breakage or loosening of the protective ropes; 3) With many points that need to be fixed, it is difficult to ensure that the tension of each protective rope is consistent (uneven stress), making it impossible to achieve equal spacing between the protective ropes. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned above, this utility model provides a rope fixing mechanism for railway platform safety doors.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a rope fixing mechanism for railway platform safety doors, including a protective rope 1, two sliding platforms 2, two wedge-shaped locking parts 3, and a pulley 4;
[0029] Two slides 2 extend vertically and are arranged side by side. Wedge-shaped locking parts 3 and / or pulleys 4 are installed on the slides 2. The two wedge-shaped locking parts 3 are arranged vertically. The protective rope 1 extends alternately between the two slides 2 in a wave shape without interference. Its upper and lower ends are clamped by the two wedge-shaped locking parts 3, and the rope body slides on the pulleys 4.
[0030] The railway platform safety gate includes several rope stakes. Two sliding platforms 2 of the rope fixing mechanism are slidably connected to adjacent rope stakes. The protective rope 1 is fixed between the two sliding platforms 2. When the sliding platform 2 descends to a certain height, the protective rope 1 plays a blocking role.
[0031] Specifically, one end of the protective rope 1 is clamped and fixed by a wedge-shaped locking element. The rope body extends towards another slide 2, and after passing over the pulley 4 on the slide 2, it extends back, with the back-extending rope segment located below the previous rope segment, which refers to the rope segment extending between the two slides 2. If the slide 2 where the wedge-shaped locking element is located also has a pulley 4, then after extending back, the protective rope 1 similarly passes over the pulley 4 and extends towards another slide 2, and so on, so that the protective rope 1 extends in a wavy shape until the other end is clamped and fixed by another wedge-shaped locking element. Several rope segments located between the two slides 2 are arranged vertically and do not interfere with each other.
[0032] Two wedge-shaped locking parts 3 are preferably installed at the upper and lower ends of the same slide 2, and the pulley 4 is installed on another slide 2. Installing the two wedge-shaped locking parts 3 on the same slide 2 ensures that the force on both ends of the protective rope 1 is balanced, and that the force on both ends of the protective rope 1 is applied to the same slide 2, thus ensuring that the force on the slide 2 is balanced.
[0033] Furthermore, the pulley 4 preferably includes multiple pulleys, with pulleys 4 installed on both slides 2. The wedge-shaped locking elements 3 and / or pulleys 4 on each slide 2 are arranged vertically to form more rope segments that provide a barrier between the two slides 2, thereby improving the barrier effect of the protective rope 1.
[0034] Preferably, the protective rope 1 extends alternately between the two sliding platforms 2 in a square wave shape, that is, the rope segment between the two sliding platforms 2 extends horizontally and these rope segments are arranged vertically at intervals. This not only provides better protection, but also enables multiple rope fixing mechanisms to cooperate and form a protective rope wall.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, two slides 2 are arranged left and right. The left slide 2 is equipped with two wedge-shaped locking elements 3 and two pulleys 4. The two wedge-shaped locking elements 3 are located at the top and bottom ends of the left slide 2, respectively, and the two pulleys 4 are located between the two wedge-shaped locking elements 3. The two wedge-shaped locking elements 3 and two pulleys 4 are arranged vertically. The right slide 2 is equipped with four pulleys 4, arranged vertically, and each of the four pulleys 4 corresponds one-to-one with the two wedge-shaped locking elements 3 and two pulleys 4 on the left slide 2.
[0036] The upper end of the protective rope 1 is fixed by a wedge-shaped locking piece 3 located above the left slide 2. The rope extends horizontally towards the right slide 2, and after passing over the pulley 4 at the corresponding height, it extends downward to the adjacent pulley 4. After passing over this pulley 4, it extends horizontally towards the left slide 2, passing over the two pulleys 4 on the left slide 2 and the other two pulleys 4 on the right slide 2 in the same manner. The lower end of the protective rope 1 is fixed by the wedge-shaped locking piece 3 located below the left slide 2. The protective rope 1 extends vertically in a square wave shape.
[0037] In this embodiment, by setting the pulley 4, the number of protective ropes 1 between the two slides 2 can be reduced from multiple to one. The rope body is slidably connected to the pulley 4, which helps to ensure that the protective rope 1 is subjected to uniform force and makes it easy to measure the tension of the protective rope 1 with a tension gauge.
[0038] In addition, the number of points that need to be fastened to the protective rope 1 can be reduced to two, simplifying the structure and reducing the difficulty of installation, debugging and maintenance.
[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the wedge-shaped locking member 3 is located on the outside of the two slides 2. In this embodiment, it is on the left side of the left slide 2, so that both ends of the protective rope 1 contact the slide 2. The slide 2 helps to share the tension of the rope body and reduce the clamping load of the wedge-shaped locking member 3. The pulley 4 is located on the inside of the two slides 2.
[0040] The slide 2 on which the wedge-shaped locking member 3 is installed has a rope hole 21 at the position corresponding to the wedge-shaped locking member 3. The end of the protective rope 1 passes through the rope hole 21 and is clamped by the wedge-shaped locking member 3.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wedge-shaped locking member 3 includes a fixing block 31, a rope receiving groove 311 is provided on the fixing block 31, a rope pressing block 32 is connected to one side wall of the rope receiving groove 311, the distance between the rope pressing block 32 and the other side wall of the rope receiving groove 311 is adjustable, and the protective rope 1 is pressed into the rope receiving groove 311 by the rope pressing block 32.
[0042] The fixing block 31 is mounted on the slide table 2 and located on the side of the rope hole 21. The rope receiving groove 311 is formed on the mounting surface of the fixing block 31 and extends through both ends of the fixing block 31. When the fixing block 31 is mounted on the slide table 2, the slide table 2 seals the rope receiving groove 311 to form a hole-like structure. The end of the protective rope 1 passes through the rope hole 21 and bends towards the fixing block 31, passing through the rope receiving groove 311. In this way, the fixing effect of the end of the protective rope 1 is improved, making the protective rope 1 less likely to loosen.
[0043] To further improve the fixing effect of the end of the protective rope 1, one side wall of the rope groove 311 is inclined outward at an acute angle to the extending direction of the rope groove 311, forming a sloping wall 312. The rope pressing block 32 is connected to the sloping wall 312 and can slide along the sloping wall 312, approaching or moving away from the other side wall of the rope groove 311. When the rope pressing block 32 slides on the sloping wall 312 and approaches the other side wall of the rope groove 311, it will also slide along the extending direction of the rope groove 311. This sliding direction is the same as the direction of the force that pulls the end of the protective rope 1 out of the rope groove 311. If the end of the protective rope 1 is pulled out, the friction between the protective rope 1 and the pressure block 32 will cause the pressure block 32 to move together. Under the action of the inclined wall 312, the pressure block 32 will slide along the inclined wall 312, increasing the pressure of the pressure block 32 on the protective rope 1, preventing the protective rope 1 from being pulled out, making the end of the protective rope 1 more firmly clamped and less likely to loosen.
[0044] In this embodiment, the inclined wall 312 is provided at one end of the rope groove 311.
[0045] The rope-pressing block 32 is connected to the inclined wall 312 by screws 33, specifically, as shown in... Figure 4As shown, the inclined wall 312 has a threaded hole 313 parallel to the extending direction of the rope receiving groove 311, and the rope pressing block 32 has a sliding hole 321. The sliding hole 321 has a long strip-shaped cross-section. The screw 33 passes through the sliding hole 321 and engages with the threaded hole 313 to press the rope pressing block 32 onto the inclined wall 312. It is designed so that when the screw 33 is tightened, it can press the rope pressing block 32 into the rope receiving groove 311. The long strip-shaped sliding provides the conditions for the sliding of the rope pressing block 32.
[0046] Tightening screw 33 clamps the end of the protective rope 1. If screw 33 comes loose, as mentioned above, the rope clamping block 32 and the inclined wall 312 can also clamp the end of the protective rope 1, effectively preventing the protective rope 1 from coming loose.
[0047] In order to increase the friction between the rope pressing block 32 and the protective rope 1, the side wall of the rope pressing block 32 pressing the protective rope 1 is flat and parallel to the side wall of the rope groove 311, so as to increase the contact area between the rope pressing block 32 and the protective rope 1, so as to make it easier to lock the protective rope 1, making the protective rope 1 less likely to loosen or break.
[0048] Furthermore, an anti-slip groove 322 may be provided on the surface of the rope-pressing block 32 that contacts the protective rope 1. More specifically, the anti-slip groove 322 is serrated, that is, the side wall of the anti-slip groove 322 near the end of the protective rope 1 is an inclined surface, and the other side wall is a vertical surface. The inclined surface is inclined in the opposite direction to the direction in which the protective rope 1 is pulled out, thereby reducing the frictional force between the rope-pressing block 32 and the protective rope 1 when the end of the protective rope 1 is inserted into the rope groove 311, making it easier to tighten the protective rope 1, while increasing the frictional force between the rope-pressing block 32 and the protective rope 1 when the protective rope 1 is pulled out, so as to prevent the protective rope 1 from loosening.
