Background Technology
[0002] Generally, aerial work platforms are used for power transmission and distribution line work at sites accessible by vehicle; however, when working in locations where vehicle access is difficult, such as livestock sheds or house roofs, ladders are used to climb up before proceeding with the work.
[0003] Such ladder-climbing work is prevented by specifying measures to prevent danger during work on the roof through Article 45 (Prevention of Danger on the Roof) of the Rules on Industrial Safety and Health Standards.
[0004] However, due to the conditions at the power distribution site, it is impossible to take measures as instructed by the law, such as “installing safety railings to prevent falls from the roof or installing work platforms at least 30 cm wide on the roof,” so there is a problem of continuous fall accidents occurring while working on the roof or climbing ladders for work.
[0005] Moreover, there are no fall prevention devices to prevent the roof from collapsing while moving from the roof of a barn or similar structure to the work site.
[0006] For example, there is a problem in that accidents such as falling 3 meters down when a slate roof breaks while checking the site by climbing onto a roof to adjust the ground clearance of the service line, falling after slipping on a ladder while climbing a utility pole because a repair vehicle cannot enter, and falling after slipping on a skylight while moving on the roof to check the location of a fault due to a power outage in a livestock barn.

Specific details for implementing the invention
[0023] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached illustrative drawings. Since these embodiments are merely examples and can be implemented in various different forms by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, the embodiments described herein are not limited to the examples described herein.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, the roof fall prevention ladder device (1) consists of a double-fixed ladder (10) and a work ladder (100).
[0025] Specifically, the above-mentioned double-fixed ladder (10) is composed of an upper fixing part (20), a lower fixing part (30), a fall prevention part (40), a safety rope block (50), a connecting bracket (60), and a fixing pin (70).
[0026] For example, the upper fixing part (20) serves to press down on the roof (201) (see FIG. 4) of the building (200) from above, and the lower fixing part (30) serves to prevent the double fixing ladder (10) from lifting up in the event of a fall by hanging the roof (201) (see FIG. 4) of the building (200) downwards, and the fall prevention part (40) serves to attach / detach the safety rope block (50), and the lower fixing part (30) and the fall prevention part (40) are formed as an integrated structure with the upper fixing part (20) as a frame.
[0027] In particular, the left / right latch structure of the upper fixing part (20) and the latch structure of the lower fixing part (30) each have an auxiliary crossbar installed horizontally on each of the left / right latches to increase the contact area at the end of the latches that contact the roof.
[0028] To this end, the upper fixing part (20) is formed as a frame structure with two semicircular latch structures that form a predetermined width gap, the lower fixing part (30) is formed as a semicircular latch structure and is connected between the left and right latch structure frames at the upper part of the upper fixing part (20), and the fall prevention part (40) is connected to the left and right latch structure frames at the lower part of the upper fixing part (20).
[0029] In particular, the lower fixing part (30) is a 360° rotatable coupling structure to fix a ladder at the bottom of the roof, but is applied as a structure that can only rotate in one direction (e.g., clockwise).
[0030] For example, the above safety rope block (50) is positioned between the fall prevention members (40) respectively attached to the left and right latch structure frames and is detachable from / attached to the fall prevention members (40), and serves to ensure safety that can protect the worker in the event of a fall from a ladder or a fall from a roof.
[0031] For example, the above connecting bracket (60) is removed from the work double-fixing ladder (10) when not in use and stored, and when used, is assembled to the upper ladder (102) of the work ladder (100) and combined with the double-fixing ladder (10), thereby serving to connect the safety rope of the safety rope block (50) together with the double-fixing type hook of the upper / lower fixing part (20, 30) at the end of the work ladder (100) and the double-fixing ladder (10).
[0032] For example, the above fixing pin (70) is installed to completely fix the ladder outrigger (103) of the work ladder (100) to the ground.
[0033] Specifically, the above-mentioned work ladder (100) is configured as a straight ladder consisting of an upper ladder (102) that is pulled out from a lower ladder (101), and the lower ladder (101) is equipped with a ladder outrigger (103) in which a fixing pin (70) is installed to reinforce the fixing force to the ground. In this case, the above-mentioned work ladder (100) is exemplified as a straight ladder, but an A-type ladder can also be used.
[0034] Meanwhile, FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the detailed configuration of the upper fixing part (20), lower fixing part (30), fall prevention part (40), safety rope block (50), connecting bracket (60), and fixing pin (70).
[0035] Referring to the upper fixing part (20) of FIG. 2, the upper fixing part (20) is formed with two semicircular latch structures, a first upper fixing part (21) and a second upper fixing part (22), and a frame structure that separates the first and second upper fixing parts (21, 22) by a predetermined width is formed with an upper frame (23) and a lower frame (24).
[0036] In particular, the upper and lower frames (23, 24) are connected / supported by two vertical bars spaced apart from each other, thereby serving to maintain rigidity against the weight of the worker.
[0037] To this end, the upper frame (23) is configured with a circular cross-sectional structure that acts as a rotation axis, thereby allowing a circular hole to pass through the rotating ring (31) of the lower fixing part (30), the rotating gear (38) of the ring release device (33), and the upper part of the vertical bar, while the lower frame (24) is formed with a square cross-sectional structure to strengthen the fixing force of the lower part of the vertical bar. In this case, the lower frame (24) and the lower part of the vertical bar may be connected by a welded fixing or a snap-fit joint structure.
[0038] And the lower fixing part (30) is composed of a rotating ring (31) and a ring release device (33), and the rotating ring (31) is formed with a semicircular latch structure and is coupled so as to be 360° rotatable to be positioned under the roof using the upper frame (23) of the upper / lower frame (23, 24) of the upper fixing part (20) as a rotation axis, and the ring release device (33) forms a reverse lock so that the rotating ring (31) cannot be rotated in the reverse direction while positioned under the roof, thereby making the 360° rotatable coupling structure into a structure that can only be rotated in one direction (e.g., clockwise).
[0039] Specifically, the above ring release device (33) is composed of a push button (35) attached to the side of a rotating ring (31) so as to be positioned on one side of the lower fixing part (30), a locker (36) that is lowered and unlocked by pressing the push button (35), a return spring (37) that is elastically supported by the side of the locker (36) and the rotating ring (31) and provides a push button force when the push button (35) is released, and a rotating gear (38) that is fixed to the side of the rotating ring (31) and coupled with the upper frame (23) of the upper fixing part (20) as a rotation axis.
[0040] In particular, the above-mentioned locker (36) has a “L”-shaped end bending structure formed as a locking member (36a), and when the end bending structure of the locking member (36a) is caught between the gear or teeth formed on the outer diameter of the rotating gear (38), it restrains the rotating ring (31) to block the rotation of the lower fixing member (30), and on the other hand, when moving downward by pressing a button, when the end bending structure of the locking member (36a) is disengaged from the gear or teeth of the rotating gear (38), it releases the restraint on the rotating ring (31) to enable the rotation of the lower fixing member (30).
[0041] For example, the above return spring (37) uses a coil spring.
[0042] Additionally, the above fall prevention part (40) is composed of a first fall prevention part coupled to a first upper fixing part (21) forming an upper fixing part (20) and a second fall prevention part coupled to a second upper fixing part (22), and in each of the first and second fall prevention parts (40), a protruding shaft (41) into which an shaft hole (55) formed in the impact detection locking body (51) of the safety rope block (50) is fitted is formed to protrude horizontally and face each other.
[0043] Referring to the safety rope block (50) in FIG. 2, the safety rope block (50) is composed of a cylindrical impact-sensing locking body (51) and a safety wire (53).
[0044] For example, the shock-sensing locking body (51) has circular plates formed on both the left and right sides with a diameter larger than the diameter of the circular body, and the shaft hole (55) penetrating the circular body is fitted into the protruding shaft (41) of the fall prevention part (40), thereby allowing the safety wire (53) to be smoothly unwound and wound.
[0045] In particular, an impact-sensing brake that secures the end of the safety wire (53) is built into the interior of the impact-sensing locking body (51), thereby serving to keep the rope from coming loose and to secure it when tension is applied to the safety wire (53).
[0046] For example, the above safety wire (53) is wound around an impact-sensing locking body (51), and a hook (53a) is attached to its end so that it can be hung on a safety hook provided on a worker's safety belt.
[0047] Therefore, the above safety rope block (50) is mounted on the double-locking ladder (10) through a connection between the shaft hole (55) of the impact-sensing locking body (51) and the protruding shaft (41) of the fall prevention part (40), and the worker is tied with the hook (53a) of the safety wire (53), so that when an impact is detected due to a worker falling, the rope is fixed without coming loose, thereby enabling the prevention of accidents caused by a worker falling.
[0048] Referring to the connecting bracket (60) in Fig. 3, the connecting bracket (60) is composed of a double-fixed ladder mounting body (61) made of a rigid rectangular plate structure and a ladder fixing part (63) that forms the four corner portions of the double-fixed ladder mounting body (61).
[0049] In particular, the above-mentioned double-fixed ladder mounting body (61) is formed with a “C”-shaped cross-sectional structure and is fixed by being inserted into the lower frame (24) of the double-fixed ladder (10) while being inserted into the horizontal frame forming the upper ladder (102) of the work ladder (100), but a bending structure (not shown) is further formed at the end of the “C”-shaped cross-sectional structure so that it is hooked onto the lower frame (24) to form a stronger fixing force.
[0050] In addition, the above-mentioned overlapping fixed ladder mounting body (61) has a plurality of mounting holes (61a) drilled therein, and the mounting holes (61a) can be used to attach / detach the connecting bracket (60) to the ladder by holding it with a finger, to attach a ladder fastening clamp, or to insert and hang the safety wire (53) of the safety rope block (50).
[0051] And the above ladder fixing part (63) is formed with a cross-sectional structure into which a horizontal frame forming the upper ladder (102) of the work ladder (100) is fitted.
[0052] Referring to the fixing pin (70) in Fig. 3, the fixing pin (70) is formed in a “C” shape with a pointed end, and a handle (71) is formed on the upper part of the body so that it is easy for a worker to hold with their hand.
[0053] Therefore, when using the fixing pin (70), the worker can completely fix the ladder outrigger (103) of the work ladder (100) to the ground by holding the handle (71) and pressing the “U”-shaped body against the ground.
[0054] Meanwhile, FIGS. 4 to 6 illustrate the installation procedure of the roof fall prevention ladder device (1). In this case, the work ladder (100) can be applied in the same way to an A-type ladder, which is described as an example applied to a livestock barn (200) using a straight ladder.
[0055] As described above, the installation procedure for the roof fall prevention ladder device consists of the assembly steps of the work ladder and the double-fixed ladder as shown in Fig. 4 (①, ②, ③, ④), the roof fixing step of the double-fixed ladder as shown in Fig. 5 (⑤, ⑥, ⑦, ⑧-1, ⑧-2), and the ground fixing step of the work ladder as shown in Fig. 6 (⑨, ⑩, ⑪).
[0056] Referring to FIG. 4, the assembly of the work ladder and the double-fixed ladder (①, ②, ③, ④) is performed in the following steps: arriving at the site (①); moving the work ladder (100) to the building (200) (②); adjusting the length of the upper ladder (102) from the lower ladder (101) of the work ladder (100) to match the roof height of the roof (201) of the building (200) (③); and combining the double-fixed ladder (10) and its accessories to the upper ladder (102) of the work ladder (100) (④).
[0057] From this, the work ladder (100) is moved to the roof (201) of the building (200) (①) (②), and the length of the work ladder (100) is adjusted (③) to match the height of the roof (201). Then, the overlapping ladder (10) is assembled (④) to the upper ladder (102) that is pulled out from the lower ladder (101) of the work ladder (100) using a connecting bracket (60).
[0058] In particular, before the above-mentioned double-fixed ladder (10) is assembled to the work ladder (100), a safety rope block (50) equipped with a safety wire (53) is combined through a fall prevention part (40) located in an upper fixing part (20) that presses the roof (201) of the building (200) from top to bottom.
[0059] Referring to FIG. 5, the double-fixed ladder roof fixing (⑤, ⑥, ⑦, ⑧-1, ⑧-2) is performed by the following steps: contact step (⑤) between the double-fixed ladder (10) and the roof (201); operation step (⑥) of the work ladder (100); rotation step (⑦) in which the lower fixing part (20) of the double-fixed ladder (10) is rotated while the upper fixing part (20) of the double-fixed ladder (10) is fixed to the upper part of the roof (201); and fixing step (⑧-1, ⑧-2) in which the lower fixing part (20) of the double-fixed ladder (10) is fixed to the underside of the roof (201) at the eaves side of the roof (201).
[0060] From this point, when the upper fixing part (20) and the lower fixing part (30) of the double fixing ladder (10) are in contact (⑤) with the roof (201), the work ladder (100) is pressed down so that the upper fixing part (20) of the double fixing ladder (10) is fixed (⑥) on the roof (201), and the lower fixing part (30) of the double fixing ladder (10) is rotated (⑦) and moved to the underside of the eaves of the roof (201) and fixed (⑧-1, ⑧-2).
[0061] Referring to FIG. 6, the ground fixing (⑨, ⑩, ⑪) of the work ladder is performed in the following steps: ground fixing step (⑨) of the work ladder (100), ground driving step of the fixing pin (⑩), and ladder installation completion step (⑪).
[0062] From this point, with the ladder outrigger (103) of the work ladder (100) spread out to the ground (⑨), the fixing pin (70) is driven into the ground (⑩), and the ladder installation is completed (⑪) by fixing the ladder outrigger (103) to the ground.
[0063] As described above, the roof fall prevention ladder device (1) according to the present embodiment is composed of a safety rope block (50) having a safety wire (53) connected to a worker who has climbed onto the roof (201) through a fall prevention part (40), together with an upper fixing part (20) that presses down on the roof (201) of a building (200) from above and a lower fixing part (30) that is connected by a rotating structure and hangs from below the roof upward, thereby making it possible to prevent fall accidents caused by roof collapse when working on the roof (201) of a building (200) such as a livestock barn where it is difficult to use an aerial work vehicle.
