Detailed Implementation
[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] This embodiment provides a foldable ladder for shafts that is easy to install, dismantle, and transport. It is used to install inside shafts and connect the bottom of the shaft to the ground.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the foldable ladder for the shaft includes several ladder units 2; the ladder units 2 are joined together along the length direction according to the depth of the shaft to form the shaft ladder.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each folding ladder unit 2 includes: a protective net 3 and a ladder 4; when in use, the side of the ladder 4 facing the shaft wall is its inner side, and the side opposite the inner side is its outer side, that is, the outer side is its climbing surface; the protective net 3 is set on the outer side of the ladder 4; thus a climbing passage is formed between the protective net 3 and the ladder 4.
[0038] For ease of transport, the protective netting 3 is foldable, capable of being folded or unfolded relative to the ladder 4; when in transport or storage condition, the protective netting 3 is folded relative to the ladder 4, fitting snugly against the outer surface of the ladder 4, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this design saves transportation or storage space; when in use, the protective net 3 unfolds relative to the ladder 4, as... Figure 3 As shown, a climbing passage is formed between the protective net 3 and the ladder 4.
[0039] To achieve the connection between ladder unit 2 and the shaft wall, such as Figure 3 As shown, each ladder unit 2 has several connecting parts distributed at intervals along the height direction on both sides of the horizontal direction for cooperating with the pre-embedded parts in the well wall, thereby enabling the ladder unit 2 to be directly installed on the vertical shaft wall.
[0040] As an example, the embedded parts on the shaft wall are embedded bolts. Several connecting ears 7 are distributed at intervals along the height direction on both sides of the ladder unit 2 as connecting parts. Each connecting ear 7 has a fixing bolt hole 72 for connecting with the embedded bolts in the shaft wall. Preferably, the connecting ears 7 on both sides of the ladder unit 2 are symmetrically arranged.
[0041] As an example, limiting bolt holes 71 are provided on one of the pair of connecting ears 7 on both sides of the ladder unit 2 to facilitate the limiting of the ladder unit 2 during installation.
[0042] To enable the rapid assembly of several ladder units 2, the ladder 4 has pins 6 and pin holes 5 at both ends of its longitudinal direction. The pins 6 and pin holes 5 are positioned correspondingly, and adjacent ladder units 2 are connected by pins 6 and pin holes 5. As an example, the ladder 4 has pins 6 at both ends of its top surface and pin holes 5 at both ends of its bottom surface.
[0043] Therefore, when installing the vertical shaft ladder on site, it adopts bolt connection and socket structure (pin hole and pin shaft), which eliminates the need for on-site welding and makes installation and disassembly convenient.
[0044] As an example, one of the ladder units 2 has no pins 6 at the two ends of the top end face, but instead has handrails 1; in use, the ladder unit 2 with handrails 1 is used as the first ladder unit 2.
[0045] Since the vertical shaft ladder is composed of several ladder units 2 connected together, it can be installed and spliced section by section according to the construction progress. When installing the ladder unit 2, the ladder unit 2 is connected to the embedded parts in the shaft wall through the fixing bolt holes 72, and then the foldable protective net 3 is unfolded (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the installation of one ladder unit 2 is now complete.
[0046] The vertical shaft ladder is easy to install and disassemble. After the vertical shaft construction is completed, to dismantle the ladder, simply loosen the bolts in the fixing bolt holes 72 on the connecting lugs 7 of each ladder unit 2 (if there are limit bolt holes 71, loosen the limit bolts). The protective netting 3 can then be folded back into its folded state for transportation.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] Based on implementation 1 above, this embodiment provides a preferred structural form for realizing the folding of the protective netting 3.
[0049] For ease of description, the width of ladder unit 2 is horizontal, and the length is vertical.
[0050] like Figures 3-7 As shown, in this example, the protective net 3 is composed of three protective net panels connected laterally: protective net panel A31, protective net panel B32, and protective net panel C33. One lateral end of protective net panel A31 is rotatably connected to one lateral end of the ladder 4 via a rotating connector 8 (such as a hinge). The other lateral end of protective net panel A31 is rotatably connected to one lateral end of protective net panel B32 via a rotating connector 8 (such as a hinge). One lateral end of protective net panel C33 is rotatably connected to the other lateral end of the ladder 4 via a rotating connector 8 (such as a hinge). When the protective net 3 is unfolded, the other lateral ends of protective net panel B32 and C33 are opposite each other, and their opposite surfaces are provided with mutually cooperating positioning connection structures. As an example, several positioning connection structures are arranged longitudinally at intervals on their opposite surfaces; these positioning connection structures can be positioning pins and positioning holes.
[0051] Therefore, when it is necessary to fold the protective net 3, disconnect the connection between the protective net plate B32 and the protective net plate C33 (e.g., pull the positioning pin out of the positioning hole), and then rotate the protective net plate C33 around its rotational connection side with the ladder 4 toward the ladder 4 until it is in contact with the ladder 4; rotate the protective net plate A31 around its rotational connection side with the ladder 4 toward the ladder 4 until it is in contact with the ladder 4; rotate the protective net plate B32 around its rotational connection side with the protective net plate A31 outward until it is in contact with the protective net plate A31, thereby achieving the folded state of the protective net 3 as shown in the figure. Figures 5-7 As shown.
[0052] When it is necessary to unfold the protective netting 3, simply reverse the rotation of protective netting panels A31, B32, and C33 to unfold the protective netting 3 as shown. Figure 3 As shown, a trapezoidal climbing passage is formed between the protective net 3 and the ladder 4. Then, the protective net panel B32 and the protective net panel C33 are positioned and connected (e.g., by inserting positioning pins into positioning holes).
[0053] As an example, to ensure the structural stability of the protective net 3 after it is unfolded, protective net locking fasteners 9 are installed at the upper and lower ends of the mating surfaces of protective net panels A31 and B32, and at the upper and lower ends of the mating surfaces of protective net panels B32 and C33, respectively. These fasteners prevent relative rotation between the two protective net panels at these locations. As an example, the protective net locking fasteners 9 are locking plates with a bending angle equal to the included angle between the two protective net panels at the corresponding positions. Mounting holes are pre-set at corresponding positions on the top and bottom of each protective net panel. After the protective net 3 is unfolded into place, the four locking plates are installed at the upper and lower ends of the mating surfaces of protective net panels A31 and B32, and at the upper and lower ends of the mating surfaces of protective net panels B32 and C33, respectively.
[0054] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
