Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety protection technology and relates to a safety device for a column ladder. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as power, communications, and chemicals, maintenance personnel often work at heights on cylindrical structures such as pipelines, utility poles, and support frames. Ladders are the most commonly used and practical tool for working at heights. Currently, when working at heights on a column, the ladder is directly supported by the column, and a person holds the ladder to work. This has the following disadvantages: (1) Insufficient stability: It is difficult for the ladder to be firmly supported on the column, which may cause the ladder to slide, tilt, or even fall during use, causing the workers to lose their balance and fall; (2) Limited support points: The effective support points provided by the column are relatively few, which cannot provide uniform and reliable support for the ladder; (3) Greatly affected by wind and other environmental factors: When working at heights, the ladder will sway when the wind is strong, increasing the danger of the work; (4) High pressure on the ladder handlers: In order to maintain the balance and stability of the ladder and ensure the safety of the workers on the ladder, the ladder handlers have great difficulty and psychological pressure, which poses a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0022] like Figures 1-5A safety device for a cylindrical ladder includes a fixed housing 1, a locking element 2, and an elastic element 3. The locking element 2 is symmetrically connected to the inner side of the fixed housing 1, and the shaft 22 of the locking element 2 is slidably engaged with the first guide groove 11 of the fixed housing 1. The nut 25 is threadedly engaged with the connecting bolt 24 of the locking element 2. The elastic element 3 is connected to the inner end face of the base 21 of the locking element 2. By connecting the elastic element 3 to the inner side of the locking element 2, the device is stable and can adapt to working on cylindrical surfaces of various widths, increasing the practicality and applicability of the device.

[0023] Furthermore, the fixed housing 1 has a cavity structure. The upper surface of the fixed housing 1 is provided with a first guide groove 11 and a second guide groove 12, and the side surface of the fixed housing 1 is provided with a locking groove 13, which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second guide groove 12. By engaging with the top crossbeam of the ladder through the locking groove 13, the fixed housing 1 is connected to the ladder, and the side surface of the cylindrical housing contacts the cylindrical surface, increasing the reliable support points of the device.

[0024] Furthermore, the locking component 2 includes a base 21, a column 22, a cantilever 23, a connecting bolt 24, and a nut 25. The upper end of the base 21 is connected to the column 22, the upper end of the column 22 is connected to one end of the cantilever 23, the connecting bolt 24 is connected to the side of the base 21, and the nut 25 is threadedly engaged with the upper end of the connecting bolt 24. This allows the locking component 2 to be fixed simultaneously through the contact between the cantilever 23 and the column surface, improving the fixing effect of the device.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting bolt 24 is L-shaped, with one end connected to the side of the base 21 of the locking member 2, and the other end of the connecting bolt 24 having threads that engage with the nut 25 through the second guide groove 12. The sliding engagement between the connecting bolt 24 and the second guide groove 12 further prevents longitudinal sliding and tilting of the locking member 2 during locking, thus increasing the locking effect of the locking member 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper and lower end faces of the base 21 are fitted against the inner side of the cavity of the fixed housing 1. This prevents the base 21 from shaking within the cavity of the fixed housing 1 when the locking member 2 is locked, reducing the safety hazards when the locking member 2 is locked.

[0027] Furthermore, the shaft 22 of the locking member 2 is slidably engaged with the first guide groove 11 of the fixed housing 1, and the connecting bolt 24 of the locking member 2 is slidably engaged with the second guide groove 12 of the fixed housing 1 through the threaded lower end journal. The nut 25 is threadedly engaged with the connecting bolt 24, so that the nut 25 contacts the upper end surface of the fixed housing 1, increasing the friction and improving the overall stability of the device.

[0028] Furthermore, the cantilever 23 is a flat plate, and it is horizontally and vertically connected to the upper end of the column 22. When the device is locked, the side of the cantilever 23 contacts the column surface, increasing the contact points between the device and the column surface and improving the reliance of the ladder on the column surface.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined without conflict. The protection scope of this utility model should be defined as the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
