Currently, most safety ladders are assembled structures, but these ladders often suffer from unreliable connections with the wall ties installed on the inner wall of the tower, resulting in an unstable overall structure. This is the main problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an assembled safety ladder for wind turbine towers, so as to solve the problems that the connection between the current assembled safety ladder and the tower is not reliable enough and the overall structure is not stable enough.
[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An assembled safety ladder for wind turbine towers includes two opposing side panels; several foot pedals are installed between the side panels; fall arrestor rails are installed on the front of the foot pedals; the fall arrestor rails are parallel to the side panels; several sets of through holes are opened at corresponding positions on the two side panels; both ends of the foot pedals are inserted into the through holes; the foot pedals are all made of hollow steel pipes; a pressure bearing shaft is detachably installed in at least one foot pedal; both ends of the pressure bearing shaft protrude from the through holes; positioning clamps are detachably installed on both ends of the pressure bearing shaft; the other end of the positioning clamps is connected to a wall tie on the inner wall of the tower; plugs and sockets are respectively provided on the upper and lower ends of the side panels; positioning holes are opened at the plugs and sockets, and adjacent upper and lower side panels can be detachably installed at the positioning holes via bolt assemblies; several strip holes are opened on the back of the fall arrestor rails; adjacent upper and lower fall arrestor rails are detachably connected by connecting plates.
[0006] Preferably, the side baffle is made of hollow square steel; a sealing plate is provided on the top of the side baffle, and the plug is installed on the sealing plate; the plug is the bottom of the inner cavity of the side baffle.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes several clamps; the clamps are used to fasten the fall arrestor rail to the foot pedal; the clamp is a folded plate component spliced from a U-shaped plate and a straight plate; the notch of the clamp is inserted from the back of the foot pedal, and a strip hole is also opened on the straight plate at the position opposite to the fall arrestor rail; the fall arrestor rail is installed through the bolt assembly at the strip hole.
[0008] Preferably, the side baffles and the fall arresting rails are of equal length; the side baffles and the fall arresting rails are installed in a staggered manner, and the upper and lower fall arresting rails are connected at the corresponding positions of the side baffles.
[0009] Preferably, there are two positioning clamps, each positioning clamp including a Y-shaped folded plate; the forked part of the Y-shaped folded plate bends toward the side baffle; a rear connecting plate is provided at the tail end of the folded plate, and a front connecting plate is provided at its two front ends; positioning holes are provided on both the rear connecting plate and the front connecting plate; the rear connecting plate is used to connect to the wall tie on the inner wall of the tower; the two ends of the pressure bearing shaft are installed by passing through the positioning holes of the front connecting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning clamp is located in the middle of the side baffle, and the two forks of the Y-shaped fold plate on the positioning clamp are separated by at least one foot pedal.
[0011] Preferably, the protruding end of the pressure bearing shaft is a threaded section, which is connected to the positioning clamp plate through a threaded engagement.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:
[0013] 1. The pressure-bearing shaft of this utility model passes through the hollow foot rod and is connected to the positioning clamp, forming a set of rigid force transmission paths. Compared with the traditional method that only relies on the side baffle and the wall tie for single-point connection, this structure transmits the vertical and horizontal loads borne by the ladder evenly to the wall tie of the inner wall of the tower through the pressure-bearing shaft, avoiding local stress concentration and improving the pull-out and shear resistance of the connection node.
[0014] 2. The positioning clamp adopts a Y-shaped folded plate design. The bifurcation bends towards the side baffle and spans at least one foot bar interval to form a stable triangular structure. It is fixed to the wall tie with the rear connecting plate and the front connecting plate is positioned by a three-dimensional anchoring method with a bearing shaft, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the connection point and can effectively resist the fatigue load caused by tower vibration.
[0015] 3. The plugs and sockets at the upper and lower ends of the side baffles are connected with bolts to form a dual locking mechanism of plug-in and bolt fastening. Compared with the traditional simple bolt connection, this structure can effectively improve the centering and positioning accuracy, reduce verticality deviation, and significantly reduce the longitudinal bending deformation of the ladder.
[0016] 4. By installing the fall arrestor rails and side baffles at the same length and offset, and connecting the upper and lower sections of the fall arrestor rails with connecting plates at the middle position of the side baffles, a spatial truss structure of side baffles, foot rods and fall arrestor rails is formed, thereby improving the rigidity of the ladder and effectively resisting the lateral force generated when maintenance personnel climb.
[0017] 5. All steel components are made of shaped steel, which effectively reduces the overall weight. Their simple structure simplifies the processing technology and facilitates quick on-site positioning and assembly.
[0018] 6. Improved equipment interchangeability. Attached Figure Description
