DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below, the examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the utility model, and can not be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0029] As Figures 1-6As shown, the embodiment proposes an automatic tightening mechanism of protective net, which comprises a plurality of columns 1, a protective net 2 is arranged between two adjacent columns 1, at least two pull ropes 3 are fixed on the protective net 2, a sliding block 4 is slidably connected in the column 1, a pulley 7 is rotatably connected on the sliding block 4, the sliding block 4 is fixed with the column 1 through a tension spring 5, the column 1 is rotatably connected with a rope winding wheel 6, the pull rope 3 is fixed with the rope winding wheel 6 after passing through the pulley 7, the rope winding wheel 6 is directly connected with a motor, and the automatic tightening mechanism further comprises a travel switch connected with the motor and matched with the sliding block 4.

[0030] In the initial state, the tension spring 5 is in the stretched state, when the pull rope 3 is relaxed, the tension spring 5 is contracted under the elastic force, the sliding block 4 is pulled to move, and the sliding block 4 drives the pull rope 3 to move, so that the pull rope 3 is re-tensioned.

[0031] The motor can drive the rope winding wheel 6 to rotate, and the rope winding wheel 6 can wind the pull rope 3.

[0032] When the pull rope 3 is relaxed, the tension spring 5 is contracted to drive the pulley 7 to move, the pulley 7 drives the pull rope 3 to be re-tensioned, when the pull rope 3 is relaxed to a certain extent, the elastic force of the tension spring 5 is reduced, at this time, the motor is started to make the rope winding wheel 6 wind the pull rope, and the pulley 7 and the sliding block 4 are reset, so that the tension spring 5 is stretched to accumulate elastic force again, which is beneficial to tension the continuously relaxed pull rope 3.

[0033] The travel switch is a first switch 8, the column 1 is slidably connected with a pressing rod 22, both ends of the pressing rod 22 are matched with the first switch 8 and the sliding block 4 respectively, when the sliding block 4 drives the pressing rod 22 to contact the first switch 8, the pressing rod 22 presses the first switch 8 at this time, so that the motor starts to work.

[0034] The first switch 8 is fixed with the column 1 through a spring 9, the column 1 is slidably connected with a limiting rod 10 which limits the contraction of the spring 9, the limiting rod 10 limits the movement of the first switch 8 and the contraction of the spring 9, and the limiting rod 10 is matched with the sliding block 4.

[0035] When the pull rope 3 is relaxed, the sliding block 4 slides, the sliding block 4 drives the pressing rod 22 to slide, after the pressing rod 22 presses the first switch 8, the motor starts to rotate to wind the pull rope 3, the pulley 7 drives the sliding block 4 to move, when the tension spring 5 is stretched to the maximum length, the sliding block 4 drives the limiting rod 10 to slide and is separated from the first switch 8, at this time, the spring 9 is contracted to drive the first switch 8 to separate from the pressing rod 22, so that the first switch 8 is de-energized, the motor drives the rope winding wheel 6 to stop rotating, and the tension spring 5 is reset at this time.

[0036] The column 1 is fixedly connected with a second switch 11, and the column 1 is further fixedly connected with a warning lamp 12, and the second switch 11 is electrically connected with the warning lamp 12.

[0037] The first switch 8 and the second switch 11 are specifically press-type spring switches, which are generally composed of a press button, a spring, a fixed seat and a conductive contact. The press button is usually made of plastic or metal material and has certain pressing performance and mechanical strength. The spring functions to automatically reset the button and ensure the elasticity of the pressing. The fixed seat is used to fix the button and the spring and ensure that their positions do not change. The conductive contact is a key part of the circuit and is connected by pressing the button to make the contact connect or disconnect the circuit, thereby realizing the function of the switch.

[0038] The tension spring 5 has a front end in the stretching direction and a rear end in the contraction direction, and the second switch 11 is located at the rear end of the first switch 8.

[0039] When the pull rope 3 is relaxed again, the tension spring 5 drives the sliding block 4 and the pulley 7 to tension the pull rope 3. Since the spring 9 has pulled the first switch 8 to be separated from the pressure rod 22, even if the tension spring 5 drives the sliding block 4 to be reconnected with the pressure rod 22, the first switch 8 will not work. With the continuous relaxation of the pull rope 3, the sliding block 4 can continue to move downward. When the sliding block 4 pushes the pressure rod 22 to be connected with the second switch 11, the second switch 11 is powered on, the warning light 12 works, and it is indicated that the relaxation degree of the pull rope 3 is too large at this time, and the pull rope 3 needs to be repaired. After the warning light 12 is turned on, the maintenance personnel can also locate the position that needs to be repaired.

[0040] The stand 1 is also provided with a signal transmitter connected with the second switch 11. After the warning light 12 is turned on, the transmitter starts to work to transmit a signal to the backstage to remind the personnel to repair in time.

[0041] The stand 1 is rotatably connected with a fixed wheel 13 and a clamping wheel 14, and the pull rope 3 passes through the fixed wheel 13 and the clamping wheel 14. The fixed wheel 13 is coaxially fixed with a one-way bearing 15.

[0042] When the protective net is impacted after the tension spring 5 drives the pull rope 3 to be tensioned through the pulley 7, the one-way bearing 15 locks the fixed wheel 13, so that the fixed wheel 13 cannot rotate reversely, thereby preventing the pull rope 3 from being retracted and being beneficial to keeping the pull rope 3 tensioned.

[0043] The clamping wheel 14 is rotatably sleeved on a rotating shaft 16, the rotating shaft 16 is slidably connected with the stand 1, a screw rod 17 is threadedly connected with the stand 1, and one end of the screw rod 17 abuts against the rotating shaft 16.

[0044] By rotating the screw rod 17, the clamping wheel 14 can be close to the fixed wheel 13, the pull rope 3 can be further clamped, the clamping degree of the pull rope 3 is improved, and the clamping wheel 14 can adapt to the pull rope 3 with different diameters.

[0045] A plurality of insertion slots 20 are formed in the winding wheel 6, the stand 1 is slidably connected with an insertion rod 21 which can be inserted into the insertion slot 20, and the insertion rod 21 is connected with the stand 1 through a compression spring.

[0046] The insertion rod 21 enables the rope collecting wheel 6 to rotate only in the forward direction and cannot rotate in the reverse direction, which can further prevent the rope 3 from being pulled out again and causing the protective net to be loose when the clamping wheel 14 does not clamp the rope 3.

[0047] The bottom plate 18 is fixed at the bottom of the column 1, and a plurality of fixing nails 19 are fixed on the bottom plate 18.

[0048] The bottom plate 18 is fixed to the ground, and the fixing nails 19 are inserted into the ground, which can further reinforce the connection between the column 1 and the ground and improve the protection effect.

[0049] The power supply 23 is used to supply power to the entire device.

[0050] When it is necessary to release the rope 3, the screw rod 17 needs to be rotated in the reverse direction to loosen the clamping wheel 14, and the insertion rod 21 is pulled out, so that the rope 3 can be pulled to release the rope from the rope collecting wheel 6.

[0051] Specific working process:

[0052] S1: After the column 1 is fixed at a specified position by the bottom plate 18 and the fixing nails 19, the protective net 2 is installed on the column 1, one end of the rope on the protective net 2 is fixed to the column 1, the other end is fixed to the rope collecting wheel 6 on the adjacent column 1, then the rope collecting wheel 6 is rotated to make the rope 3 drive the pulley 7 and the sliding block 4 to rise, so that the sliding block 4 contacts the limiting rod 10;

[0053] S2: When the protective net material is corroded, worn, its strength and elasticity are decreased, or installed, slight geological activity, etc., the protective net is loose, the rope 3 can no longer maintain the tension state, at this time, under the action of the tension spring 5, the sliding block 4 and the pulley 7 are moved, and the rope 3 is re-tensioned;

[0054] S3: After the rope 3 is relaxed to a certain extent, the sliding block 4 moves to the rear end of the tension spring 5, the sliding block 4 drives the pressure rod 22 to press the first switch 8, the first switch 8 is powered on, the motor drives the rope collecting wheel 6 to wind the rope 3, and at the same time drives the sliding block 4 to rise, so that the tension spring 5 is recharged, which is conducive to the subsequent tensioning of the rope 3;

[0055] S4: After the sliding block 4 moves to the front end of the tension spring 5, the limiting rod 10 will be removed from the limiting position of the first switch 8, the spring 9 pulls the first switch 8 away from the pressure rod 22, the first switch 8 is powered off, and the motor drives the rope collecting wheel 6 to stop rotating, at this time the tension spring 5 is recharged;

[0056] S5: When the rope 3 is relaxed again, the tension spring 5 is contracted again, and when the sliding block 4 drives the pressure rod 22 to contact the second switch 11, it indicates that the rope 3 is relaxed too much at this time, the second switch 11 is pressed to drive the warning light 12 to be powered on and flash to alarm, and the signal transmitter transmits a signal to the background to remind the maintenance.

[0057] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
