[0034] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0035] Existing rope climbing machines are mainly used in scenarios requiring the hoisting of workers and heavy objects to heights, such as air conditioner installation and exterior wall construction. Currently, there are two main types: one is an electrically driven type with a built-in motor and battery, which is large, heavy, and inconvenient to carry; the other is a mechanical type without an electric drive module, which, although relatively smaller, still suffers from being heavy and reliant on manual operation. Neither type of equipment adequately meets the demands for portability, lightweight design, and rapid deployment required for outdoor sports and wilderness rescue.
[0036] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a lightweight, portable rope climbing machine with intelligent control functions to improve its practicality and safety in outdoor sports, emergency rescue and other fields.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a rope climbing machine, which can effectively improve the technical problems mentioned above, achieve overall lightweighting, more stable structure, and more convenient and safer use.
[0038] Specifically, this rope climbing machine can be applied in outdoor sports, such as rock climbing and mountaineering. In other embodiments, it can also be applied in emergency rescue, such as wilderness rescue and motorcycle or car rescue. Of course, it can also be used for exterior window cleaning, but this is not specifically limited to those applications.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a rope climbing machine including an upper cover 10, a lower shell 20, a traction member 30, a rope, and a driving member 40. The lower shell 20 and the upper cover 10 are rotatably connected. The traction member 30 is installed on the lower shell 20. The rope is connected to the traction member 30. The driving member 40 is connected to the traction member 30 and is used to drive the traction member 30 to move, thereby driving the rope to move.
[0040] Specifically, the cover 11 has a square structure, and its shape matches that of the lower shell 20. One side of the cover 11 is hinged to one side of the lower shell 20, allowing the cover 11 to rotate relative to the lower shell 20 around the hinge point. By providing a rotatable connection between the upper cover 10 and the lower shell 20, the rope climbing machine can be easily opened during use, allowing the rope to be quickly threaded into the traction member 30, thus significantly improving the ease of use and operational efficiency of the equipment. This structure is rationally designed, easy to carry, and suitable for climbing and hoisting operations in various complex environments.
[0041] Specifically, the upper cover 10 includes a cover body 11 and a fastener 12. The fastener 12 is disposed on the edge of the cover body 11, and the cover body 11 is engaged with the lower shell 20 through the fastener 12. The fastener 12 includes a hook 121, and the lower shell 20 is provided with a groove 21. The hook 121 is disposed in the groove 21, thereby enabling the cover body 11 and the lower shell 20 to engage.
[0042] In this embodiment, the hook 121 is positioned facing the outside of the cover 11. When the cover 11 is flipped downwards, the hook 121 will engage with the slot 21.
[0043] Furthermore, the fastener 12 also includes a spring 122, which is movably disposed on the cover 11 and covers the hook 121. The spring 122 is used to move the hook 121 under the action of elastic force, causing the hook 121 to leave the slot 21, thereby separating the cover 11 and the lower shell 20. The spring 122 is disposed on the outer surface of the cover 11, and the position of the spring 122 corresponds to the position of the hook 121, so that when the spring 122 moves relative to the cover 11, it can drive the hook 121 away from the slot 21, thereby separating the cover 11 and the lower shell 20.
[0044] Furthermore, there are multiple fasteners 12, which are spaced apart and disposed along the edge of the cover 11. In this embodiment, there are two fasteners 12, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the cover 11. In other embodiments, the number of fasteners 12 may be increased or decreased, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0045] It should be noted that the drive unit 40 includes a motor, a battery, and a reduction gear set. The motor is installed at the bottom of the lower shell 20 and is connected to the traction unit 30. The battery is detachably installed on the upper cover 10. The reduction gear set is connected to the motor. After the motor starts, it undergoes multi-stage reduction through the reduction gear set and then outputs to the traction unit 30, thereby driving the traction unit 30 to move.
[0046] Furthermore, the rope climbing machine also includes a mounting base 50, which is located on top of the upper cover 10. The battery is detachably installed inside the mounting base 50. The inner side of the mounting base 50 has a protrusion that engages with the structure on the outer surface of the battery, thus securing the battery within the mounting base 50 and preventing it from falling out. When it is necessary to remove the battery, it can be simply pulled out of the mounting base 50 by external force; both installation and removal are quite convenient.
[0047] It should also be noted that the traction component 30 includes a climbing rope main wheel 31 and a guide wheel 32. The rope is positioned on the outer periphery of the climbing rope main wheel 31 via the guide wheel 32, and the rope is engaged with the tooth groove of the climbing rope main wheel 31. The lower shell 20 has an opening 22 on its side, through which the rope enters the lower shell 20. After passing through the guide wheel 32, the rope wraps around the outer periphery of the climbing rope main wheel 31 and is engaged in the tooth groove of the climbing rope main wheel 31, thereby generating friction to prevent the rope from slipping off, and then is led out from the opening 22 of the lower shell 20.
[0048] Furthermore, the traction component 30 also includes an anti-snagging rope block 33, which is spaced apart from the guide wheel 32. The anti-snagging rope block 33 can guide the rope to wind around the guide wheel 32 toward the main climbing rope wheel 31, preventing the rope from deviating from its normal track and thus avoiding jamming. At the same time, the anti-snagging rope block 33 also helps to maintain consistent rope tension during use.
[0049] When in operation, the motor starts and drives the main rope wheel 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the rope wound on the main rope wheel 31 to rotate. The rope will continuously enter the lower shell 20 and exit from the lower shell 20, thereby achieving the overall extension of the rope for climbing work.
[0050] In addition, the rope climbing machine also includes a rope pressing plate 60, which is installed at the bottom of the upper cover 10. The rope pressing plate 60 is used to press down the rope after the upper cover 10 and the lower shell 20 are engaged. This prevents the rope from bulging during operation, which would affect the normal operation of the rope climbing machine and make it safer to use.
[0051] Specifically, there are multiple rope-pressing plates 60. In this embodiment, there is one rope-pressing plate 60. In other embodiments, the number of rope-pressing plates 60 may be two, three, or even more, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0052] Furthermore, the rope pressing plate 60 is provided with multiple pressure relief holes to reduce the overall weight of the rope climbing machine and achieve a lightweight design.
[0053] Furthermore, the rope climbing machine provided in this embodiment also includes a control module, a pressure sensor, a slow-descent braking module, and a voice module. The pressure sensor, slow-descent braking module, voice module, and drive unit 40 are all connected to the control module. During operation, control commands can be issued via voice. After recognizing the command, the voice module sends a command signal to the control module, which then drives the drive unit 40 to start working. The pressure sensor is located at the end of the rope. When the rope reaches the end, the pressure sensor sends a signal to the control module, which then drives the motor to stop. The slow-descent braking module can provide braking force when the rope needs to climb in the opposite direction.
[0054] The advantages of the rope climbing machine provided in this embodiment include at least the following:
[0055] This rope climbing machine has a simple overall structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain, and has the advantages of small size and light weight, making it convenient for rapid deployment and use in outdoor sports, emergency rescue, and other scenarios. Compared with existing technologies, this rope climbing machine has significant technological advancements in portability, operability, and automation, and can effectively meet the practical needs of various application scenarios.
[0056] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a rope climbing machine, which includes an upper cover 10, a lower shell 20, a traction component 30, a rope, and a drive component 40. The lower shell 20 and the upper cover 10 are rotatably connected. The traction component 30 is installed on the lower shell 20, and the rope is connected to the traction component 30. The drive component 40 is connected to the traction component 30 and is used to drive the traction component 30 to move, thereby moving the rope. In use, by setting the upper cover 10 and lower shell 20 to be rotatably connected, the rope climbing machine can be easily opened to quickly thread the rope into the traction component 30, thus significantly improving the ease of use and operational efficiency of the equipment. This structure is reasonably designed, easy to carry, and suitable for climbing and hoisting operations in various complex environments. The traction component 30 is installed on the lower shell 20 and connected to the rope. The drive component 40 works in conjunction with the traction component 30 to achieve automatic traction of the rope. This drive method has a compact structure and high power transmission efficiency, which not only reduces the overall power consumption of the equipment but also improves the stability and reliability of rope climbing. The rope climbing machine has a simple overall structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain, and has the advantages of small size and light weight.
