Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of climbing tools technology, and in particular to a portable, detachable climbing foot catch. Background Technology

[0002] Pole climbing foot straps, also known as foot straps or movable pole climbing foot straps, are tools made of steel or alloy materials for climbing utility poles. There are two types: one with metal teeth on the strap for climbing wooden poles; the other with rubber wrapped around the strap for climbing concrete poles. Currently, maintenance personnel typically use pole climbing foot straps when climbing concrete poles to repair communication lines.

[0003] However, existing pole climbing feet are usually fixed and non-removable structures, resulting in a large overall size that is inconvenient to carry and store. In addition, traditional feet use rubber as the friction material, which is prone to wear and tear. As the usage time increases, the friction decreases significantly, resulting in a high risk of slipping when climbing wet or slippery poles, which greatly threatens the personal safety of workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a portable, detachable climbing foot strap, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing climbing tools.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable and detachable climbing foot strap includes a foot pedal. A first mounting base is fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the foot pedal. A first positioning mounting block is inserted and installed inside the first mounting base. One end of the first positioning mounting block extends to the outside of the first mounting base and is fixedly disposed with an anti-slip component.

[0007] A second mounting base is fixedly disposed on the surface of the first mounting base, and a second positioning mounting block is inserted and installed inside the second mounting base. One end of the second positioning mounting block extends to the outside of the second mounting base and is fixedly connected to a pole climbing assembly.

[0008] The surface of the first positioning mounting block is provided with a through-hole, the position of which corresponds to the second mounting base. The end of the second positioning mounting block away from the pole climbing assembly is fixedly provided with a splicing plug, which is inserted into the through-hole.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning component is fixedly provided on the surface of the first mounting base. The positioning component is used to limit and fix the splicing plug. The positioning component includes a rectangular box, and a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box. Two movable plates are threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw, and positioning posts are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two movable plates.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the first mounting base is provided with a rectangular hole corresponding to the position of the splicing block, and the size of the rectangular hole matches the size of the splicing block. The splicing block extends into the interior of the rectangular box through the rectangular hole. Both sides of the splicing block are provided with positioning slots that match the positioning posts, and the positioning posts are inserted into the positioning slots.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting rod is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the rectangular box, and a limiting through hole matching the limiting rod is opened on the surface of the movable plate. The movable plate is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod through the limiting through hole. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw extend to the outside of the rectangular box and are fixedly connected with an operating knob.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the pole climbing assembly includes an arc-shaped clamp fixedly connected to the end of the second positioning mounting block, and a rubber toothed rack is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the arc-shaped clamp.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip component includes an arc-shaped mounting bracket fixedly connected to the end of the first positioning mounting block, and an anti-slip rubber block is fixedly mounted on the surface of the arc-shaped mounting bracket by bolts.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the second positioning mounting block, and positioning protrusions are slidably disposed inside the mounting grooves. Limiting anti-dislodgement holes matching the positioning protrusions are provided on both sides of the second mounting base, and the positioning protrusions are inserted into the limiting anti-dislodgement holes.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a compression spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning protrusion, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, both the rubber toothed rack and the anti-slip rubber block are made of thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, the portable detachable climbing foot strap provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.

[0018] Firstly, by setting a first mounting base and a second mounting base at the bottom of the climbing foot strap, during use, the first positioning mounting block can be inserted into the first mounting base, thereby installing the anti-slip component on the side of the foot pedal. The second positioning mounting block can be inserted into the second mounting base, and the splicing insert can pass through the through-hole on the surface of the first positioning mounting block, thus limiting the second positioning mounting block. Then, the bidirectional screw of the positioning component drives two positioning pins to insert into the positioning slots on both sides of the splicing insert, thereby limiting the splicing insert and enabling the installation and removal of the climbing component and the anti-slip component. This reduces the overall size of the foot strap and improves its portability and practicality.

[0019] Secondly, by using thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as the friction material for the rubber toothed rack and anti-slip rubber block, the microstructure of TPE can closely fit the surface of the pole, generating strong friction. In actual climbing operations, facing various complex pole materials and environments, TPE material can stably exert high friction performance, ensuring operational safety. At the same time, the wear resistance of TPE material greatly extends the service life of the foot catches. In addition, TPE also has excellent aging resistance properties, and its performance remains stable under the influence of harsh environmental factors such as high and low temperatures and ultraviolet radiation, ensuring that the foot catches remain in good condition during long-term use.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A portable detachable climbing foot strap includes a foot pedal 10. A first mounting base 2 is fixedly disposed on the lower surface of the foot pedal 10. A first positioning mounting block 3 is inserted and installed inside the first mounting base 2. One end of the first positioning mounting block 3 extends to the outside of the first mounting base 2 and is fixedly disposed with an anti-slip component 4.

[0033] It should be noted that the surface of the foot pedal 10 is fixedly equipped with straps and buckles, which can be used to reinforce and secure the worker's feet.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip component 4 includes an arc-shaped mounting bracket 401 fixedly connected to the end of the first positioning mounting block 3. An anti-slip rubber block 402 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the arc-shaped mounting bracket 401 by bolts. The anti-slip rubber block 402 can contact both sides of the utility pole to improve the anti-slip effect of the pole climbing buckle.

[0035] It should be noted that a second mounting base 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first mounting base 2, and a second positioning mounting block 6 is inserted and installed inside the second mounting base 5. One end of the second positioning mounting block 6 extends to the outside of the second mounting base 5 and is fixedly connected to a pole climbing assembly 7. The pole climbing assembly 7 can be used to wrap around the utility pole to achieve pole climbing.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the climbing pole assembly 7 includes an arc-shaped clamp 701 fixedly connected to the end of the second positioning mounting block 6. A rubber rack 702 is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the arc-shaped clamp 701. Both the rubber rack 702 and the anti-slip rubber block 402 are made of thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0037] It's worth noting that by using thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) as friction materials for the rubber toothed rack 702 and anti-slip rubber blocks 402, TPE possesses superior physical properties. Its surface microstructure allows it to tightly adhere to the pole surface, generating powerful friction—a feat unmatched by traditional rubber materials. In actual climbing operations, facing various complex pole materials and environments, TPE materials consistently demonstrate high friction performance, ensuring operational safety. Simultaneously, the wear resistance of TPE materials significantly extends the service life of the foot catches. Furthermore, TPE exhibits excellent aging resistance, maintaining stable performance even under harsh environmental conditions such as high and low temperatures and ultraviolet radiation, ensuring the foot catches remain in good condition over extended periods. More importantly, TPE materials are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and recyclable, aligning with current industry trends towards green and environmentally friendly practices. Moreover, its cost is lower than some high-performance rubbers, effectively controlling costs while improving product performance.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The surface of the first positioning mounting block 3 is provided with a through-hole 8, the position of which corresponds to the second mounting base 5. The end of the second positioning mounting block 6 away from the pole climbing assembly 7 is fixedly provided with a splicing plug 9, which is inserted into the through-hole 8.

[0039] It should be noted that the second positioning mounting block 6 has mounting grooves 12 on both sides, and a positioning protrusion 13 is slidably arranged inside the mounting groove 12. The second mounting base 5 has limiting anti-disengagement holes 14 on both sides that match the positioning protrusion 13, and the positioning protrusion 13 is inserted into the limiting anti-disengagement hole 14.

[0040] It should be noted that a compression spring 15 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 12. One end of the compression spring 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning protrusion 13, and the other end of the compression spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 12.

[0041] By setting the positioning protrusion 13, after the second positioning mounting block 6 is inserted into the second mounting base 5, the compression spring 15 can drive the positioning protrusion 13 to be inserted into the limiting anti-disengagement hole 14 on the surface of the second mounting base 5, thereby using the positioning protrusion 13 to limit the second positioning mounting block 6 to prevent disengagement, and further improve the stability of the second positioning mounting block 6 in the second mounting base 5.

[0042] It should be noted that a positioning component 1 is fixedly provided on the surface of the first mounting base 2. The positioning component 1 is used to limit and fix the splicing plug 9. The positioning component 1 includes a rectangular box 101. A two-way lead screw 102 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box 101. Two movable plates 103 are threadedly connected to the surface of the two-way lead screw 102. Positioning posts 104 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two movable plates 103.

[0043] It should be noted that a limit rod 106 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular box 101, and a limit through hole matching the limit rod 106 is opened on the surface of the moving plate 103. The moving plate 103 is slidably connected to the surface of the limit rod 106 through the limit through hole. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 102 extend to the outside of the rectangular box 101 and are fixedly connected to the operating knob 107.

[0044] It should be further explained that a rectangular hole 11 corresponding to the position of the splicing plug 9 is provided on the side of the first mounting base 2, and the size of the rectangular hole 11 matches the size of the splicing plug 9. The splicing plug 9 extends into the interior of the rectangular box 101 through the rectangular hole 11. Positioning slots 105 matching the positioning post 104 are provided on both sides of the splicing plug 9, and the positioning post 104 is inserted into the interior of the positioning slot 105.

[0045] It is worth noting that by setting a first mounting base 2 and a second mounting base 5 at the bottom of the climbing foot buckle, when assembling the foot buckle, the first positioning mounting block 3 is first inserted into the first mounting base 2, and then the anti-slip component 4 is installed on the side of the foot pedal 10. The second positioning mounting block 6 can be inserted into the second mounting base 5. At the same time, the splicing plug 9 passes through the through-hole 8 on the surface of the first positioning mounting block 3, and then the splicing plug 9 is used to limit the second positioning mounting block 6. Then, the operation knob 107 of the positioning component 1 is rotated to drive the bidirectional lead screw 102 to rotate, which in turn drives the two moving plates 103 to move in opposite directions. The moving plates 103 drive the positioning pin 104 to be inserted into the positioning slots 105 on both sides of the splicing plug 9, thereby combining and limiting the splicing plug 9 with the first positioning mounting block 3. This facilitates the quick installation and removal of the climbing component 7 and the anti-slip component 4 by the staff. After removal, the overall volume of the foot buckle can be reduced, making the climbing foot buckle more portable.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
