Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a life-saving device, and more particularly to an escape device installed at a high place. Background Technology

[0002] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An existing escape device 9 is suitable for installation on a wall or ceiling of a building 96, the wall or ceiling being higher than a ground level 97. The escape device 9 includes a base 91 disposed on the building 96, a fixing member 92 fixed to the ground level 97, an escape passage 93 that can be unfolded and folded within the base 91, a plurality of spaced-apart movable members 94 connected to the escape passage 93, and a guide rope 95 threaded through the movable members 94. The base 91 extends along a length L towards the fixing member 92. One end of the guide rope 95 is fixed to the base 91, and the other end can be stretched to be fixed to the fixing member 92.

[0003] When the existing escape device 9 is deployed, after the guide rope 95 is fixed to the fixing member 92, the escape route 93 can be unfolded along the length direction L by the unfolding arrangement of each of the moving members 94, allowing personnel to escape downwards along the escape route 93. (See also...) Figure 3 When the existing escape device 9 is retracted, the escape route 93 and the movable component 94 will retract into the base 91.

[0004] Although the existing escape device 9 can be quickly deployed in response to emergencies, its subsequent retrieval is quite cumbersome. It requires the occupant to be on the building 96, and force must be applied to pull the guide rope 95 to retrieve the moving parts 94 one by one, while simultaneously folding the escape route 93. This retrieval operation requires considerable manpower and is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an escape device that can overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] The escape device of this utility model is suitable for installation in buildings and includes a guide unit installed on the building, a channel unit connected to the guide unit, and a retrieval unit installed on the channel unit.

[0007] The guiding unit includes a base disposed on the building, a fastener disposed on a low surface below the base, and a guiding rope extending along the length direction, with one end connected to the base and the other end connected to the fastener.

[0008] The passage unit includes an escape passage that extends foldably along its length, several sliding members spaced apart along the length and connected to the escape passage, and an end sliding member connected above the escape passage and located on the side of the sliding members away from the base. One end of the escape passage is fixed to the base, and the other end is connected to the end sliding member. The sliding members and the end sliding members are movably fitted onto the guide rope.

[0009] The channel unit can shift between a retracted position and an escape position. In the retracted position, the escape channel, the sliding member, and the end sliding member are retracted into the base; in the escape position, one end of the guide rope is fixed to the fixing member, and the sliding member and the end sliding member are spaced apart and arranged downwards along the length direction, so that the escape channel extends along the length direction.

[0010] The recovery unit includes a winding mechanism disposed on the base, a recovery frame disposed on the end sliding member, and a recovery rope connecting the winding mechanism and the recovery frame. The winding mechanism can wind up the recovery rope to move the passage unit from the escape position to the folding position.

[0011] The escape device of this utility model has a retrieval frame having a main body, a fixing rod extending from the upper part of the main body toward the base for the retrieval rope to pass through and be fixed, and a limiting part extending from the lower part of the main body toward the base. When the winding mechanism pulls the retrieval rope to retrieve the end sliding member, the retrieval frame can drive the sliding member to be retrieved through the limiting part.

[0012] The escape device of this utility model includes a limiting base disposed below the main body and two abutting posts extending from both ends of the limiting base toward the base. The abutting posts can be abutted against by several of the sliding members that are close to the fixing member.

[0013] The escape device of this utility model has an end sliding member having an end sliding seat portion sleeved on the guide rope, an end crossbar portion connected to the end sliding seat portion and extending laterally, and two end connecting portions respectively connected between the two opposite ends of the end crossbar portion and the escape channel, and the retrieval frame is disposed on the end crossbar portion.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the channel unit can be more easily recycled and folded through the structural design of the recycling unit. Attached Figure Description

[0023] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 One embodiment of the escape device of this utility model is suitable for installation in a building 8, and includes a guide unit 1 disposed on the building 8, a channel unit 2 connected to the guide unit 1, and a retrieval unit 3 disposed on the channel unit 2. This embodiment can be installed on the top wall, protruding wall, or side wall of the building 8, as long as it can be installed stably and allows people to escape smoothly from the building 8.

[0024] The guide unit 1 includes a base 11 mounted on the building 8, a fastener 12 mounted on a lower surface below the base 11, and a guide rope 13 extending along a length direction L, with one end connected to the base 11 and the other end releasably connected to the fastener 12. In this embodiment, the base 11 is used in conjunction with a gate 81 for easy storage; however, the structure of the base 11 can be, for example, but not limited to, a bracket and gate, an openable box, etc., as long as it allows the passage unit 2 to be connected to and stored with the guide rope 13, and its appearance is not limited to the drawings. The lower surface can be, for example, but not limited to, the ground surface, the roof of another building, etc., as long as it is lower than the base 11.

[0025] The passage unit 2 includes an escape passage 23 that extends foldably along the length direction L, several sliding members 21 spaced apart along the length direction L and connected to the escape passage 23, and an end sliding member 22 connected above the escape passage 23 and located on the side of the sliding members 21 away from the base 11. One end of the escape passage 23 is fixed to the base 11, and the other end is connected to the end sliding member 22. The sliding members 21 and the end sliding member 22 are movably fitted onto the guide rope 13.

[0026] The escape passage 23 has an entrance and exit that connect the front and rear and allows personnel to enter and exit, and may be in the shape of a pipe, such as, but not limited to, a cuboid or cylindrical shape. The pipe of the escape passage 23 is large enough for people to enter and exit, and is made of materials such as, but not limited to, fire-resistant fabric.

[0027] Each of the sliding components 21 has a sliding seat portion 211 sleeved on the guide rope 13, a horizontal bar portion 212 connected to the sliding seat portion 211 and extending laterally, and two connecting portions 213 respectively connected between the two opposite ends of the horizontal bar portion 212 and the escape passage 23.

[0028] The structure of the end sliding member 22 is the same as that of each of the sliding members 21, and has an end sliding seat 221, an end crossbar 222, and two end connecting parts 223, which correspond to the sliding seat 211, the crossbar 212, and the connecting part 213 of each of the sliding members 21, respectively.

[0029] The connection between the connecting part 213 and the end connecting part 223 to the escape channel 23 can be, for example, but not limited to, clamping with thickened webbing, buckle connection, etc., as long as the escape channel 23 can be stably suspended, and the shape and appearance are not limited to the icon style.

[0030] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The recycling unit 3 includes a winding mechanism 31 disposed on the base 11, a recycling frame 32 disposed on the end crossbar portion 222 of the end sliding member 22, and a recycling rope 33 connecting the winding mechanism 31 and the recycling frame 32.

[0031] The recovery rack 32 has a main body 321, a fixing rod 322 extending from the upper part of the main body 321 toward the base 11 for the recovery rope 33 to pass through and be fixed, and a limiting part 323 extending from the lower part of the main body 321 toward the base 11. The limiting part 323 includes a limiting base 324 disposed below the main body 321, and two abutment posts 325 extending from both ends of the limiting base 324 toward the base 11. The abutment posts 325 pass through the gap between the escape channel 23 and the sliding member 21, and can be abutted against by several of the sliding members 21 near the fixing member 12.

[0032] This channel unit 2 can shift between a retracted position and an escape position. (See also...) Figure 6 In the retracted position, the escape passage 23, the sliding member 21, and the end sliding member 22 are retracted into the base 11, and the gate 81 is closed. (See also...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 When in the escape position, the gate 81 is opened, and the end of the guide rope 13 away from the base 11 is fixed to the fixing member 12. The sliding member 21 and the end sliding member 22 are arranged at intervals along the length direction L, and the escape channel 23 extends along the length direction L.

[0033] See Figures 4 to 6 In this embodiment, when used to assist escape, the passage unit 2 is unfolded from the retracted position to the escape position for personnel to escape. At this time, the guide rope 13 is first fixed to the fixing member 12, for example, but not limited to, by knotting or binding. Then, the sliding member 21 and the end sliding member 22 are lowered, and by their own weight, they are spaced downwards along the length direction L, causing the escape passage 23 to extend along the length direction L for personnel to pass through. Furthermore, during the unfolding process, because the recovery rope 33 connects the winding mechanism 31 and the end sliding member 22, although the winding mechanism 31 is not activated, the internal friction of the winding mechanism 31 can still slow down the descent speed of the passage unit 2, achieving a slow descent function to prevent damage to the passage unit 2 due to excessive descent speed.

[0034] When the escape is complete and the system is to be retracted, the passage unit 2 will be retracted from the escape position to the retracted position. At this time, the winding mechanism 31 is activated to wind up the recovery rope 33, pulling the recovery frame 32 and the end sliding member 22 of the recovery frame 32 towards the base 11. During this movement, the end sliding member 22 abuts against the sliding member 21, causing several sliding members 21 adjacent to the end sliding member 22 to abut against the abutment post 325, thus driving the sliding members 21 to retract towards the base 11. Simultaneously, the escape passage 23 connected to the end sliding member 22 will be folded back towards the base 11. After the end sliding member 22, the sliding member 21, and the escape passage 23 have all been retracted, the guide rope 13 is untied from the fixing member 12 and pulled back to the base 11.

[0035] In summary, the escape device of this utility model can achieve the beneficial effect of quickly folding and retrieving the channel unit 2 by using the recovery unit 3 to drive the channel unit 2 back, thus achieving the purpose of this utility model.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
