Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of escape ladder protection technology, specifically a fall protection device for a belt conveyor escape ladder. Background Technology

[0002] Safety protection devices for belt conveyors serve to protect both people and the conveyor itself, ensuring safe operation of the conveyor and safe work for personnel. Common protective devices include pull rope switches, belt misalignment switches, tear-resistant devices, guardrails, protective fences, and escape ladders. Escape ladders are primarily located in the middle of long-distance belt conveyors, at their lowest point relative to the ground.

[0003] Currently, common escape ladders are usually connected to the upper truss and the lower support, and are set up as straight ladders. They lack an overall protective design and have the risk of accidentally stepping into a hole. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a fall protection device for the escape ladder of a belt conveyor, which provides safety protection for climbing the ladder, and at the same time sets up a straight ladder steel structure platform to prevent workers from falling into the air and causing accidents.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a fall protection device for an escape ladder of a belt conveyor, the device comprising a support column, a straight ladder and a straight ladder cover plate, the straight ladder comprising a guardrail, a ladder and a support frame, the guardrail being semi-circular and fitted onto one side of the ladder, the support frame being disposed on the other side of the ladder and connected to the support column, the top of the support column being connected to the steel structure platform of the straight ladder, the ladder extending upward from one end of the steel structure platform of the straight ladder, the ladder being a component for workers to climb up and down and having a certain degree of protection, the guardrail being a protective device to prevent workers from falling, and the support frame having a certain supporting and fixing function.

[0006] It also includes a straight ladder cover plate, which includes a square hinge plate and a tension handle block. The straight ladder steel structure platform is provided with a hole for placing the straight ladder cover plate. One side of the square hinge plate is movably connected to the straight ladder steel structure platform. The tension handle block is set on the square hinge plate. The straight ladder cover plate is set above the straight ladder. The straight ladder cover plate is used to cover the part of the ladder that extends upward from one end of the straight ladder steel structure platform, ensuring that there is a protective device at the top of the straight ladder and preventing the risk of personnel falling into a hole.

[0007] The square hinge plate is made of steel grating, which has both high strength and toughness, as well as good rust resistance.

[0008] The pull handle block is made of round steel bent into a handle shape, which greatly enhances the ease of use of the switch and makes it easy to hold and lift.

[0009] It also includes a straight ladder walkway door, which includes a bolt, a safety net, and a door frame. The door frame includes a left door frame and a right door frame. The bottom of the left and right door frames is connected to the steel structure platform of the straight ladder. The left side of the right door frame is movably connected to the safety net. The left door frame and the safety net are opened or closed by a bolt. The straight ladder walkway door serves to connect the straight ladder and the walkway platform and ensures that the straight ladder will not be accidentally opened.

[0010] The door latch is equipped with an audible and visual alarm, which is connected to the alarm on the belt of the conveyor. The door latch is an electronic door lock, and the audible and visual alarm is connected to the electronic door lock signal, which can ensure that the electronic door lock will automatically open in case of emergency and remain closed under normal circumstances.

[0011] The straight ladder steel structure platform is equipped with a walkway platform and a platform support, and the top of the platform support is connected to the truss.

[0012] The support column is A-shaped, but the top of the column is flattened to facilitate support of the straight ladder steel structure platform.

[0013] The support column is reinforced with diagonal bracing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The steel structure platform of this utility model has a straight ladder walkway door, walkway platform, platform support and straight ladder cover plate above it, and a straight ladder below it. It connects other components into a whole, ensuring the overall protection of the escape ladder.

[0016] 2. This utility model effectively solves the safety problems of the lack of effective protection at the top of the straight ladder of the belt conveyor, which poses a risk of falling due to missteps; and the lack of walkway doors, which makes it easy for the ladder to be used illegally in non-emergency situations. It can better protect the safety of operators. Attached Figure Description
