Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a reusable and adjustable windproof device for the cable of a suspended scaffold on an exterior facade. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization, the construction, cleaning, and maintenance of the facades of high-rise and super high-rise buildings are becoming increasingly frequent. In these high-altitude operations, suspended platforms have become core equipment due to their flexibility and wide applicability. The safety and stability of the suspended platform are directly related to the safety of workers and the integrity of the building. Since the suspended platform operates by being suspended from load-bearing cables at the top by a hoist, the stability of the cables is the primary prerequisite for the safe operation of the suspended platform.

[0003] Existing devices have fixed support structure lengths or limited adjustment ranges, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to the varying distances between the edges of different building structures and the suspended platform cables. This results in poor applicability during on-site installation, requiring customized or additional auxiliary components, which reduces the efficiency of reuse. Secondly, common windproof devices often use rigid or loosely spaced clamps to hold the cables, failing to adaptively tighten cables of different diameters or uneven thickness due to wear. This leads to poor sway suppression in strong winds and can easily wear down the cable surface due to hard contact, affecting the cable's service life. Therefore, this invention designs a reusable and adjustable windproof device for suspended platform cables on exterior facades to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reusable and adjustable windproof device for the cable of a suspended platform on an exterior facade, which solves the problem in the prior art of not being able to adaptively tighten cables of uneven thickness.

The clamping component is located in the inner ring of the windproof ring and is used to accommodate cables of different thicknesses. The cleaning component is located at the bottom of the clamping component and is used to clean dust and dirt adhering to the surface of the cable.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a movable rod installed in the inner ring of the windproof ring, a spring installed on the outer ring of the movable rod, and a cable clamping block fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod to accommodate cables of different thicknesses.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please refer to Figures 1-4A reusable and adjustable windproof device for cable of suspended basket on exterior facade, comprising: a retractable rear support rod 1, a retractable front support rod 2 installed at the output end of the retractable rear support rod 1, and a windproof ring 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the retractable front support rod 2; The working mechanism includes a clamping component and a cleaning component. The clamping component is located in the inner ring of the windproof ring 3 and is used to accommodate cables of different thicknesses. The cleaning component is located at the bottom of the clamping component and is used to clean dust and dirt adhering to the surface of the cable. The clamping component includes a moving rod 4 installed in the inner ring of the windproof ring 3. A spring 5 is installed on the outer ring of the moving rod 4. A cable clamping block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving rod 4 and is used to accommodate cables of different thicknesses.

[0016] In this embodiment of the invention, the entire device is securely fixed to the edge of the floor slab or other reliable building structure by firmly securing the U-shaped clip 8. Next, the device is precisely adjusted according to the actual distance between the current position of the suspended platform's cable and the edge of the building. The operator loosens the adjustable nut 7 at the top of the telescopic rear support rod 1, and then pulls the telescopic rear support rod 1 to coarsely adjust its extension length; simultaneously, the length of the connected telescopic front support rod 2 is adjusted for fine-tuning. This two-stage adjustment mechanism ensures that the end windproof ring 3 can be accurately aligned and close to the cable, adapting to different on-site conditions. After adjustment, the adjustable nut 7 is tightened to lock the support rod length. When the cable passes through the inner ring of the windproof ring 3, the core working mechanism begins to function. The clamping assembly activates its adaptive clamping function: the cable squeezes the cable clamping blocks 6 on both sides or around the perimeter, and the cable clamping blocks 6 drive the moving rod 4 to move radially within the guide hole of the windproof ring 3, compressing the spring 5 on its outer ring. The rebound force generated by spring 5 is continuously applied to the cable clamping block 6, causing it to fit tightly against the cable surface, forming a flexible and self-adaptive clamping force. This force effectively suppresses the lateral swaying and longitudinal movement of the cable under wind force, playing a crucial role in windproof stabilization. Furthermore, because it is elastic pressure rather than rigid locking, it avoids hard wear on the cable surface. Simultaneously, the cleaning component works concurrently: the cleaning brush, fixedly installed at the bottom of the cable clamping block 6, also maintains contact with the cable surface since the clamping block 6 is tightly against the cable. During daily lifting and lowering operations of the suspended platform, the cable will move axially relative to the device. The cleaning brush utilizes this relative movement to continuously scrape and sweep away dust, mud, and other dirt adhering to the cable surface.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-4The cleaning components include a cleaning brush installed at the bottom of the clamping block 6 for cleaning dust and dirt adhering to the surface of the cable. The top of the retractable rear support rod 1 is equipped with an adjustable nut 7 to ensure normal operation with varying distances between the suspended platform and the building structure edge. A U-shaped clip 8 is installed at the top of the retractable rear support rod 1, which secures the retractable rear support rod 1 to the floor slab.

[0018] In this embodiment of the invention, during the installation phase, the design of the U-shaped clip 8 allows the device to be quickly attached or detached from the floor slab, greatly improving turnover efficiency. During positioning, the adjustable nut 7, in conjunction with the telescopic support rods 1 and 2, provides precise length adjustment capability. Especially when facing minor but critical differences in the distance between the suspended platform and the building structure, operators do not need to disassemble and reinstall; they only need to fine-tune the adjustable nut 7 to achieve precise control of the support rod extension length, ensuring that the windproof ring 3 is always in the optimal working position. This characteristic is the core embodiment of the device's reusability and ease of adjustment. Regarding windproof stability, its working principle further demonstrates its adaptability to complex environments such as gusts and continuous winds. When encountering a sudden increase in wind force, the swing amplitude and frequency of the cable will increase. At this time, the elastic system spring 5 and moving rod 4 of the clamping assembly will dynamically respond: the wind force pushes the cable, the cable squeezes the cable clamping block 6, and thus compresses the spring 5; when the wind force decreases instantaneously, the restoring force of the spring 5 will immediately push the clamping block 6 back, re-clamping the cable. This process is a continuous, dynamic "squeeze-rebound" cycle, acting like a damper to effectively absorb and dissipate the impact of wind energy, converting the large swings of the cable into high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations and suppressing them, thus providing a more stable and reliable windproof effect. The cleaning function is equally efficient in dynamic operation. Whether the cable moves actively due to the lifting and lowering of the basket or experiences slight swaying due to wind, this relative motion becomes the power source for the cleaning brushes, achieving uninterrupted cleaning and maintenance of the cable throughout the entire working cycle of the device. In summary, the working principle of this embodiment highlights that the device, while ensuring basic functions, possesses excellent adaptability, portability, and high reliability in dynamic environments.

[0019] During use, the U-shaped clip 8 at the top of the retractable rear support rod forms a rigid connection with the floor slab, completing the overall installation and positioning. To address differences in the distance between different suspended platforms and the building structure edges, the adjustable nut 7 at the top of the retractable rear support rod 1, in conjunction with the telescopic adaptation of the retractable rear support rod 1 and the retractable front support rod 2, can be screwed on to adjust the total length of the two rods. This ensures the windproof ring 3 is precisely aligned with the cable placement position, guaranteeing the device's adaptability under various working conditions. After the retractable rear support rod 1 and the retractable front support rod 2 are adjusted to their designated positions, the cable is threaded through the inner ring of the windproof ring 3. The windproof ring 3, through its rigid support structure, provides initial radial restraint on the cable, limiting significant lateral displacement of the cable under wind loads and providing a fundamental guarantee for its windproof function. The clamping assembly within the windproof ring 3 utilizes an elastic adaptive mechanism to reliably clamp cables of varying thicknesses. The spring 5 on the outer ring of the moving rod 4 is always pre-tensioned, providing continuous elastic pressure to the cable clamping blocks 6. When the cable passes between the clamping blocks 6, the spring 5 adapts to the cable diameter, driving the moving rod 4 to bring the clamping blocks 6 into contact with the cable surface, creating a flexible yet tight clamping effect. This clamping force restricts the cable's longitudinal movement and lateral swaying while avoiding damage to the cable from rigid clamping. The cleaning brush at the bottom of the clamping assembly remains in contact with the cable surface. As the hoisting basket rises and falls, causing the cable to move axially along the cable clamping blocks 6, the cleaning brush simultaneously mechanically cleans dust, dirt, and other impurities from the cable surface, preventing the accumulation of impurities from affecting the clamping stability of the assembly and the cable's lifespan. This achieves synergistic operation of windproof and cleaning functions.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
