Depending on the attached drawings, the corresponding positional relationships may also change. Therefore, they should not be interpreted as an absolute limitation on the scope of protection.
[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 8A safety protection device for slope maintenance operations includes a protective belt 3, a guardrail connector 1, and a telescopic device. The telescopic device includes a housing 2, a safety rope 5, and a rotating drum 13. The rotating drum 13 is disposed inside the housing 2. Both ends of the rotating drum 13 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the top and bottom of the rotating drum 13 via coil springs 15, respectively. A rope outlet is provided on one side of the housing 2. The outer wall of the housing 2 opposite to the rope outlet is connected to the protective belt 3 via a connecting rope 7. One end of the safety rope 5 is wrapped around the outer wall of the rotating drum 13, and the other end of the safety rope 5 extends through the rope outlet to the outside of the housing 2. The end of the safety rope 5 located outside the housing 2 is connected to the guardrail connector 1. A safety switch 4 for locking / releasing the safety rope 5 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 2.
[0027] Specifically, the protective belt 3 can be made of a flexible material with elasticity, suitable for people of different body sizes; the guardrail connector 1 can use O-rings or buckles. The protective belt 3 only needs to be able to connect / detach from the body, and the guardrail connector 1 needs to be able to connect / detach from the guardrail; their structural forms are not limited to the above and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0028] Specifically, the safety switch 4 includes a fixed block 41 and a movable block 42. The fixed block 41 is located on one side of the rope outlet and is fixedly connected to the housing 2. The fixed block 41 has a compression groove 411 on the side near the rope outlet. Multiple sliding rods 8 are fixed on the side of the fixed block 41 near the rope outlet. The multiple sliding rods 8 are symmetrically distributed above and below the compression groove 411. A screw 9 is rotatably mounted on the fixed block 41. The length direction of the screw 9 is consistent with that of the sliding rod 8. The movable block 42 is slidably mounted on the sliding rod 8. The side of the movable block 42 near the fixed block 41 has a compression block 422 that matches the position and shape of the compression groove 411. The compression block 422 and the movable block 42 have threaded holes 423 that match the screw 9. The screw 9 is threadedly connected to the compression block 422 and the movable block 42 through the threaded holes 423. The rope outlet is located above or below the screw 9.
[0029] The safety rope 5, located between the rope outlet and the guardrail connector 1, is situated between the compression block 422 and the compression groove 411. To lock the safety rope 5, simply rotate the screw 9. The moving block 42 moves towards the compression groove 411 under the action of the thread. The compression block 422 pushes the safety rope 5 until it is compressed and fixed by the compression block 422 and the compression groove 411, thus securing the safety rope 5. To release the safety rope 5, simply rotate the screw 9 in the opposite direction to disengage the compression block 422 from the compression groove 411.
[0030] More specifically, in order to improve the fixing effect of the compression block 422 and the compression groove 411 on the safety rope 5, anti-slip textures or protrusions can be provided on the outer wall of the compression block 422 and the inner wall of the compression groove 411 to improve the friction effect between the compression block 422 and the compression groove 411 and the safety rope 5, thereby improving the fixing effect.
[0031] There are four slide rods 8, with two slide rods above and two below the extrusion groove 411, and the four slide rods 8 are symmetrically distributed in pairs. The slide rods 8 can improve the stability of the moving plate. The moving plate is provided with sliding holes 421 corresponding to the number of slide rods 8. The moving plate is slidably connected to the slide rods 8 through the cooperation of the slide rods 8 and the slider.
[0032] Specifically, a limiting plate 43 is fixed to one end of the slide rod 8 away from the fixing block 41, and the end of the screw 9 away from the fixing block 41 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 43. The other end of the screw 9 extends to the outer side of the fixing block 41 away from the rope outlet. The moving block 42 is located between the limiting plate 43 and the fixing block 41. The limiting plate 43 prevents the moving plate from detaching from the slide rod 8 and provides an installation position for the screw 9.
[0033] Specifically, a knob 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 9 away from the limiting plate 43. The screw 9 is rotated by rotating the knob 10, which is convenient for the user to operate.
[0034] Specifically, the top inner wall and bottom inner wall of the housing 2 are respectively fixed with end plates 11, and the two end plates 11 are provided with receiving cylinders 12 on opposite sides, and the coil springs 15 are provided inside the receiving cylinders 12;
[0035] The rotating cylinder 13 has a rotating shaft 14 fixed at its center. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 extend out from the top and bottom of the rotating cylinder 13, respectively. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected to the two end plates 11, respectively. The rotating shaft 14 is located in the accommodating cylinder 12. The outer end of the coil spring 15 is fixedly connected to the accommodating cylinder 12, and the inner end of the coil spring 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 14.
[0036] Specifically, a tensioning roller 17 is provided inside the housing 2, and the tensioning roller 17 is located on the side of the rotating drum 13 near the rope outlet. The tensioning roller 17 tensions the safety rope 5, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the safety rope 5.
[0037] Specifically, two limiting rollers 16 are provided inside the housing 2 near the rope outlet, and the rope outlet is located between the two limiting rollers 16. The end of the safety rope 5 away from the rotating drum 13 passes between the two limiting rollers 16 and then extends from the rope outlet to the outside of the housing 2. The limiting rollers 16 can improve the smoothness of the movement of the safety rope 5 at the rope outlet and avoid direct contact and friction between the safety rope 5 and the edge of the rope outlet.
[0038] Specifically, the two ends of the connecting rope 7 are respectively connected to the protective waist belt 3 and the housing 2 through a connector 6. The connector 6 includes a rotating shaft 62 and a fixing post 61. The two fixing posts 61 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 2 and the protective waist belt 3. The rotating shaft 62 is rotatably connected to the fixing post 61. A connecting ring 63 is fixed on the rotating shaft 62. The connecting rope 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 63.
[0039] In use, the worker wears the protective waist belt 3 around their waist, and then connects the safety rope 5 to the guardrail via the guardrail connector 1. After connection, the worker can move away from the guardrail connector 1 and pull out the safety rope 5. Based on the designated maintenance work distance and area, the worker pulls the safety rope 5 to a suitable length and uses the safety switch 4 to lock the safety rope 5, fixing the length of the safety rope 5 pulled outside the housing 2. At this time, the area where the worker can move is defined as a circle with the guardrail connector 1 as the center and the length of the safety rope 5 outside the housing 2 as the radius. During the pulling out of the safety rope 5, the rotating drum 13 rotates, and the coil spring 15 tightens.
[0040] Once the maintenance work in one area is completed, the worker can release the safety rope 5 via the safety switch 4 and gradually move towards the location of the guardrail connector 1. At this time, the coil spring 15 drives the rotating drum 13 to rotate in the opposite direction, retracting the part of the safety rope 5 outside the housing 2 into the housing 2. After the worker moves to the guardrail connector 1, the guardrail connector 1 can be removed from the guardrail, and the connection position between the guardrail connector 1 and the guardrail can be changed to carry out the maintenance work in the next area.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will be able to make various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
