AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing power transmission line tower anti-fall devices, traditional single connecting strips are prone to wear and tear, posing safety hazards. They are also prone to breakage when subjected to excessive force at a single point, and cannot effectively disperse the impact force during a fall.

Method used

The first and second connecting belts, which adopt a V-shaped layout, are installed through the first and second connecting rings, respectively. Guide rails and climbing poles are set on the tower body to ensure that movement is not hindered during normal operation. The fall arrestor is activated when a fall occurs, and the locking mechanism acts quickly to prevent workers from falling. In the event that one belt breaks, the other belt continues to bear the load.

Benefits of technology

It improves the safety of equipment use, avoids single-point stress breakage, distributes the load through the V-shaped layout, ensures double protection for workers in case of fall, extends the service life of connecting rings and belts, and enhances climbing flexibility and stability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power transmission tower technology, specifically a power transmission line tower anti-fall device. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission towers are the support points for overhead lines. A transmission tower with one circuit is a single-circuit transmission tower, while a transmission tower with two circuits is a double-circuit transmission tower. A single circuit means that one load has one power supply circuit; a double circuit means that one load has two power supply circuits.

[0003] When workers climb power transmission towers, they usually use rigid rail fall arrestors for protection. The reliability of the connection structure between the fall arrestor and the protective clothing worn by the workers directly determines the protective effect. Currently, the industry generally uses the traditional connection method of a single connecting strap plus a fixed hanging ring. Although this structure is simple and low in cost, the connecting strap is prone to wear due to friction and other external factors, which poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, a fall arrestor for power transmission towers is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fall prevention device for power transmission line towers, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This application provides a fall arrest device for a power transmission line tower, including a tower body. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the front wall of the tower body, and a guide rail is fixedly connected to the front wall of the connecting frame. A fall arrester is slidably mounted on the guide rail. A first fixing block and a second fixing block are fixedly connected to the front wall of the fall arrester. The second fixing block is located on one side of the first fixing block. A first connecting ring is fixedly threaded through the first fixing block. A first connecting belt is fixedly connected to the side of the first connecting ring away from the first fixing block. A second connecting ring is fixedly threaded through the second fixing block. A second connecting belt is fixedly connected to the side of the second connecting ring away from the second fixing block. A fixing ring is fixedly provided at the end of the second connecting belt and the first connecting ring away from the fall arrester.

[0006] In use, workers first connect the hooks of their protective clothing to the fixing rings, and then climb the tower using the climbing pole. The guide rail provides a stable running track for the fall arrestor, ensuring that it does not obstruct personnel movement during normal operation. In the event of a fall, the locking mechanism inside the fall arrestor will activate quickly to prevent workers from falling. In addition, the first and second connecting belts can be installed separately through the first and second connecting rings, and the first and second connecting belts are arranged in a V-shape, which can share the load and distribute the tension symmetrically. When one belt breaks, the other belt can continue to bear the load, preventing workers from losing their protection instantly. Through the cooperation of the above structures, the safety of the equipment during use is improved.

[0007] Optionally, the first connecting strip and the second connecting strip are V-shaped.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the V-shaped layout can distribute the weight of the worker and the impact force generated when falling to the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt respectively, avoiding the breakage of the traditional single connecting belt due to excessive force at a single point, and also avoiding long-term contact and friction between the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt.

[0009] Optionally, both the first and second connecting belts are made of high-strength aramid fiber material.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the load-bearing capacity of the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt can be improved.

[0011] Optionally, climbing poles are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the tower body, and two sets of climbing poles are alternately arranged.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is possible for staff to climb the tower more flexibly.

[0013] Optionally, multiple connecting frames are provided at equal intervals along the length of the tower body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is beneficial to improve the firmness and stability of the guide rail installation.

[0015] Optionally, the first connecting ring, the fixing ring, and the second connecting ring are all made of stainless steel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial to improve the corrosion resistance of the first connecting ring, the fixing ring, and the second connecting ring, thereby extending their service life.

[0017] Optionally, the retaining ring is connected to a hook on the protective clothing worn by the worker.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and cooperating with the hooks on the protective clothing, an effective protective effect can be achieved.

[0019] Optionally, the outer wall of the climbing pole is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to prevent workers from slipping or falling while climbing.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0022] The technical solution of this application allows for the separate installation of the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt via the first connecting ring and the second connecting ring. The first connecting belt and the second connecting belt are arranged in a V-shape, which can jointly bear the load and distribute the tensile force symmetrically. Furthermore, if one belt breaks, the other belt can continue to bear the load, preventing workers from losing their protection instantly. Through the cooperation of the above structures, the safety of the equipment during use is improved. Attached Figure Description
