[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] This utility model provides an overall structural diagram of an automatic rope retractor implementation method, including:

[0037] Please see Figures 1-7An automatic rope retractor according to this embodiment includes a main frame 1. A base plate 11 is welded to the bottom of the main frame 1, and a spare rope compartment 16 is welded to the bottom of the base plate 11. A reel 27 is installed inside the spare rope compartment 16, which serves to protect the spare rope. Mounting screws 23 are threaded to both sides of the spare rope compartment 16. A rotating block 24 is connected to the bottom of the mounting screws 23 via a rotating shaft. A combination block 25 is fitted inside the rotating block 24. Through the pressing and engaging of the two mounting screws 23, the reel 27 is mounted on the side of the mounting screws 23. Simultaneously, the mobility of the rotating block 24 allows the reel 27 to be moved when using the spare rope. The rope can be rapidly rotated and unwound. A limit plate 26 is welded to the side of the combination block 25, and a reel 27 is welded to the side of the limit plate 26. A support rod 17 is welded to the side of the spare rope compartment 16, and a base plate 11 is welded to the top of the support rod 17. A cover plate 18 is connected to the front of the spare rope compartment 16 via a pivot. A switch handle 19 is welded to the front of the cover plate 18. A guide groove 20 is provided on the front of the cover plate 18. The guide groove 20 can prevent the rope from getting tangled when using the spare rope and ensure that the spare rope can be taken out smoothly. A buckle plate 21 is welded to the top of the cover plate 18. The buckle plate 21 is snapped into the inside of the buckle slot block 22. A back plate 8 is welded to the back of the main frame 1. Multiple connection holes 29 are provided on the front of the back plate 8.

[0038] It is worth noting that, in order to remove mud, sand and small stones from the surface of the retrieved rope, specifically, the back plate 8 has a rope outlet 9 welded inside, the connecting hole 29 is connected to a connecting bolt 30 by threads, the outer circumference of the connecting bolt 30 is connected to a connecting flange 28 by threads, and multiple connecting bolts 30 are connected to the inner circumference of the connecting flange 28 by threads, so that the connecting pipe 31 can be installed on the outer circumference of the rope outlet 9. The inner circumference of the connecting flange 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 31, the inner circumference of the connecting pipe 31 is connected to a threaded pipe 32 by threads, and the outer circumference of the threaded pipe 32 is welded to a cleaning pipe 33. Because the threaded pipe 32 and the cleaning pipe 33 are connected by threads, after the surface of the brush 34 becomes dirty due to cleaning, the cleaning pipe 33 can be directly removed and replaced with a new cleaning pipe 33, thereby maintaining the cleaning effect of the device. The brush 34 is glued and fixed inside the cleaning pipe 33.

[0039] Next, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the ratchet 4, specifically, the top of the main frame 1 is connected to the adjusting screw 2 by a thread, and the bottom end of the adjusting screw 2 is connected to the adjusting bracket 3 by a rotating shaft.

[0040] Meanwhile, in order to make the device more applicable, the adjusting frame 3 is slidably connected to the slide rail 5 opened on the side wall of the main frame 1. By turning the adjusting screw 2, the adjusting frame 3 can be moved along the slide rail 5 opened on the side of the main frame 1. The inside of the adjusting frame 3 is connected to the ratchet 4 through the rotating shaft.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to enable the rope to be retrieved or released, specifically, a drive motor 12 is glued and fixed to the top of the base plate 11, and the output end of the drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft 13 through a coupling. The outer circumference of the transmission shaft 13 penetrates the main frame 1, and a clamping wheel 7 is welded to the outer circumference of the transmission shaft 13. The drive motor 12 is electrically connected to a battery compartment 37 through a connecting wire.

[0042] It is worth noting that, in order to prevent knots from forming when the rope is retrieved or released, a baffle 6 is welded to the front of the main frame 1, and a rope feeder 10 is bolted to the front of the main frame 1.

[0043] Finally, in order to reuse the rope take-up device, specifically, a hand handle 14 is welded to the bottom of the rope feeder 10, a trigger 15 is movably connected to the back of the hand handle 14, a second guide wheel 36 is welded to the back of the hand handle 14, a snap-fit ​​base 38 is snapped to the bottom of the hand handle 14, a battery compartment 37 is welded to the top of the snap-fit ​​base 38, a first guide wheel 35 is welded to the bottom of the snap-fit ​​base 38, a circuit board is electrically connected to the battery compartment 37 via a connecting wire, the circuit board is electrically connected to the trigger 15 via a connecting wire, and the circuit board is bolted to the inside of the hand handle 14. By pressing the trigger 15, the circuit board electrically connected to the trigger 15 is turned on, thereby transmitting an electrical signal and enabling the drive motor 12 to run, so that the drive motor 12 can drive the clamping wheel 7 to rotate.

[0044] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0045] Combination Figures 1-7 The automatic rope retractor of this embodiment is used in the following specific way:

[0046] 1. When using this type of automatic rope retractor, firstly, a spare rope needs to be installed inside the spare rope compartment 16. By applying a pulling force to the buckle plate 21 outward, the buckle plate 21 is separated from the inside of the slot block 22, thereby opening the cover plate 18. Then, the mounting screws 23 on both sides of the spare rope compartment 16 are turned outward a certain distance to facilitate the insertion of the reel 27. Subsequently, the assembly block 25 welded to the side of the limiting plate 26 at one end of the reel 27 is first embedded into the groove on the side of the rotating block. The operator manually stabilizes the reel 27 for a short period of time. After stabilization, the other mounting screw 23 is turned in the direction of the reel 27. Similarly, the assembly block 25 is aligned with the groove inside the rotating block 24 and tightened, thereby installing the reel 27 into the interior of the spare rope compartment 16 for use in emergency situations.

[0047] 2: Under normal use, the rope to be used needs to be manually passed through the rope feeder 10 first, and the adjusting screw 2 should be slowly adjusted according to the diameter of the rope until the rope can be passed through normally. Then the rope can be released or retrieved. The operation of releasing or retrieving the rope is controlled by the operator. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 12 can be adjusted by a switch near the trigger 15, which facilitates the release or retrieval of the rope. At the same time, there is a battery compartment 37 inside the hand handle 14 that is snapped into the base 38. The battery compartment 37 can be charged, so that the device can be used repeatedly.

[0048] 3: When the device needs to retrieve the rope and the retrieval status has been adjusted via the aforementioned switch, the retrieved rope will first pass through the cleaning pipe 33. At the same time, the brush 34 on the inner circumference of the cleaning pipe 33 will clean the surface of the rope to prevent small stones or mud adhering to the rope surface from mixing into the main frame 1. The mud or small stones that are cleaned off will fall directly to the ground. Since the cleaning pipe 33, where the brush 34 is located, is connected to the connecting pipe 31 by threads, if the cleaning effect of the brush 34 inside the cleaning pipe 33 is not ideal, the cleaning pipe 33 can be unscrewed and a new cleaning pipe 33 can be installed to ensure a good cleaning effect.

[0049] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
