Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fall arrestor technology, specifically to a flexible fall arrestor device. Background Technology

[0002] A fall arrestor (also known as a speed differential) is a safety device equipped with a rope (belt, wire rope) of extendable length, connected in series between the harness and the anchor point. In the event of a fall, it can brake due to the change in speed, quickly locking the safety rope and preventing the person from falling further.

[0003] The fall arrestor mainly consists of a main frame and a locking frame. The main frame has a sliding cavity for the rope to pass through, and a guide wheel is also provided on one side of the sliding cavity. The rope passes through the sliding cavity and is guided by the guide wheel. The locking frame is rotatably connected to the main frame, with one end extending to one side of the sliding cavity and the other end connected to the human body via a connecting rope. When the rope breaks accidentally, the locking frame rotates, squeezing the rope and locking the fall arrestor through friction with the rope, thereby preventing the human body from falling.

[0004] Since the guide wheels of fall arresters are usually in a fixed position, the fall arrester is prone to jamming during sliding, which can cause the fall arrester to lock unexpectedly. In such cases, manual unlocking is required, which causes inconvenience to the use of the fall arrester. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a flexible fall arrest device to solve the technical problem that fall arrest devices in the prior art are prone to accidental locking, which causes inconvenience to the use of fall arrest devices.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0033] To address the technical problem that existing fall arresters are prone to accidental locking, causing inconvenience in their use, this invention provides a flexible fall arrest device. By allowing the position of the guide wheel to adaptively adjust according to the direction of the rope, the fall arrester is prevented from jamming during its sliding along the rope, thus facilitating its use.

[0034] For the flexible fall arrest device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1-2 It includes a main frame 10, a locking frame 20, an adjusting frame 30, and a guide wheel 40. The main frame 10 is provided with a sliding rope cavity 11 for ropes to pass through. The locking frame 20 is rotatably connected to the main frame 10, with one end of the locking frame 20 extending into the sliding rope cavity 11 and the other end of the locking frame 20 for connecting a human body. The adjusting frame 30 is rotatably connected to the main frame 10 and located on one side of the sliding rope cavity 11. The guide wheel 40 is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 30 and close to the sliding rope cavity 11.

[0035] Specifically, the flexible fall arrestor consists of a main frame 10, a locking frame 20, an adjusting frame 30, and a guide wheel 40. The main frame 10 has a sliding rope cavity 11. During use, the rope passes through the sliding rope cavity 11. The locking frame 20 is rotatably connected to the main frame 10. One end of the locking frame 20 extends into the sliding rope cavity 11 and can contact the rope in the sliding rope cavity 11. The other end of the locking frame 20 can be connected to the human body via a connecting rope. When the human body falls, it can cause the locking frame 20 to rotate instantaneously, compressing the rope, thereby locking the rope through friction between the rope and the locking frame 20. The anti-fall device is tightened to prevent the human body from falling further, thus achieving the anti-fall function. The adjusting frame 30 is rotatably connected to the main frame 10 and can provide guidance for the rope. Through the rotatable connection between the adjusting frame 30 and the main frame 10, when the direction of the rope changes, the adjusting frame 30 can be driven to rotate, so that the guide wheel 40 can be adaptively adjusted according to the direction of the rope. This can avoid jamming during the sliding of the anti-fall device, prevent the anti-fall device from locking unexpectedly, and facilitate the use of the anti-fall device.

[0036] In this embodiment, the adjustment frame 30 can rotate around the main frame 10, thereby making the fall arrest device more flexible.

[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The main frame 10 includes a shell 12 and a cover 13. The cover 13 covers the shell 12 and forms a protective cavity with the shell 12.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2The main frame 10 is equipped with a first feed-rotor post 14, and the locking frame 20 is sleeved on and rotatably connected to the first feed-rotor post 14. The flexible fall arrestor also includes a first torsion spring 60, which is sleeved on the first feed-rotor post 14. The two ends of the first torsion spring 60 are respectively connected to the main frame 10 and the locking frame 20 to prevent the locking frame 20 from rotating. Specifically, the locking frame 20 can be rotatably connected to the main frame 10 through the first feed-rotor post 14. The first torsion spring 60 can generate a certain elastic force, so that the end of the locking frame 20 near the sliding rope cavity 11 can always maintain contact with the rope without vibration or deviation, thereby ensuring that the locking frame 20 remains stable.

[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2-3 The lock frame 20 is provided with a mounting groove 21. The first torsion spring 60 is installed in the mounting groove 21, with one end abutting against the side wall of the mounting groove 21 and the other end radially passing through the first power supply column 14.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The locking frame 20 has a receiving groove 22 at one end near the sliding rope cavity 11, which is used to receive the rope. Specifically, the rope can be limited by the receiving groove 22, thereby improving the stability of the rope and increasing the contact area between the locking frame 20 and the rope, ensuring that the locking frame 20 can "lock" the rope by rotating.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The end of the locking frame 20 away from the sliding rope cavity 11 is provided with a through hole 23 for the connecting rope to pass through. Specifically, the connecting rope can be passed through the through hole 23 and then connected to the human body, thus realizing the connection between the human body and the locking frame 20, providing convenience for the connection between the locking frame 20 and the human body.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The main frame 10 is also provided with a first rotation limiting port 15, through which the lock frame 20 passes to limit the rotation range of the lock frame 20. Specifically, the first rotation limiting port 15 can limit the rotation range of the lock frame 20, thereby improving the stability of the lock frame 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The flexible fall arrestor also includes an elastic element 50, with its two ends connected to the adjusting frame 30 and the main frame 10, respectively, to prevent the adjusting frame 30 from sliding away from the sliding rope cavity 11. Specifically, by preventing the adjusting frame 30 from sliding away from the sliding rope cavity 11, the elastic element 50 ensures that the guide wheel 40 remains in contact with the rope under the elastic force exerted by the elastic element 50 on the adjusting frame 30, and allows the adjusting frame 30 to rotate under the drive of the rope.

[0044] Understandably, the elastic element 50 can be a spring with its two ends abutting against the adjusting frame 30 and the main frame 10 respectively. Through the elastic force of the spring, the adjusting frame 30 is prevented from rotating away from the sliding rope cavity 11.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The main frame 10 is also equipped with a second feed column 16. The adjusting frame 30 is rotatably connected to the second feed column 16. The elastic element 50 includes a second torsion spring, which is sleeved on the second feed column 16, and its two ends are respectively connected to the adjusting frame 30 and the main frame 10. Specifically, the second feed column 16 allows the adjusting frame 30 to rotate, realizing the rotatable connection between the adjusting frame 30 and the main frame 10. The second torsion spring generates an elastic force acting on the adjusting frame 30, ensuring that the guide wheel 40 always maintains contact with the rope, thus providing guidance for the rope.

[0046] In this embodiment, the adjustment frame 30 is provided with a rotating sleeve, one end of the second torsion spring abuts against the side wall of the mounting cavity, and the other end is connected to the rotating sleeve of the adjustment frame 30.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The main frame 10 is also equipped with a limit post 17, which is located on the side of the adjusting frame 30 near the sliding rope cavity 11, and is used to prevent the adjusting frame 30 from sliding toward the sliding rope cavity 11. Specifically, by preventing the adjusting frame 30 from sliding toward the sliding rope cavity 11, the limit post 17 can prevent the guide wheel 40 from exerting excessive pressure on the rope, thereby hindering the fall arrest device from sliding along the rope.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The adjusting frame 30 has a receiving port 31 on the side near the sliding rope cavity 11, and the limiting post 17 is located in the receiving port 31. Specifically, the receiving port 31 improves the stability of the adjusting frame 30 by accommodating the limiting post 17.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-2 The main frame 10 is also provided with a second rotation limit port 18, through which the adjusting frame 30 passes to limit the rotation range of the adjusting frame 30. Specifically, the second rotation limit port 18 ensures the stability of the fall arrestor structure by limiting the rotation range of the adjusting frame 30.
