[0024] The present invention relates to a safety ladder device, which has the main components including a connecting rod (10), a ladder section (20), a safety cover (30), a safety door (40), and a high-altitude space section (50), such that the length of the ladder section can be flexibly changed to match the height of the structure to improve on-site construction efficiency, a high-altitude space section connected to the ladder section to secure sufficient workspace, and a safety cover, a safety door, and a non-powered moving module to effectively prevent a user from falling.

[0025] The connecting member (10) according to the present invention is installed spaced apart in the longitudinal direction along the wall surface of a structure (1) including a building.

[0026] The above connecting member (10) serves to firmly fix the ladder part (20) to the wall of the structure (1).

[0027] In addition, the ladder section (20) according to the present invention is installed longitudinally along the wall surface of the structure (1) while connected to the connecting member (10), and serves as a passageway for a worker to move up and down.

[0028] The above ladder section (20) includes a pair of vertical bars (22) and horizontal bars (23) that are connected at both ends to the vertical bars (22) and spaced apart along the length of the vertical bars (22).

[0029] A handle portion (21) formed by bending downward in an arch shape is installed on the upper part of the vertical bar (22) so that a worker can stably hold and move it from the top of the ladder.

[0030] In addition, an upper loop (24a) is installed on the handle portion (21), and the upper loop (24a) is configured to allow a safety rope to be connected, and the safety rope is connected to the worker side to prevent a fall accident.

[0031] In addition, the vertical bar (22) is formed by dividing it into multiple parts and is provided so as to be detachable by a joint part (25).

[0032] In the enlarged view of FIG. 6, the joint portion (25) includes an outer tube (25b) formed at one end of a vertical bar (22) and having a first pin hole (25a) formed in the horizontal direction, an inner tube (25d) formed at the other end of a vertical bar (22) corresponding to the outer tube (25b) and having a second pin hole (25c) formed at a position corresponding to the first pin hole (25a), and a fastening pin (25e) inserted into the first and second pin holes (25a) (25c) to connect the inner tube (25d) to the outer tube (25b).

[0033] In this way, the vertical bar (22) parts are connected by inserting a connecting pin (25e) into the first and second pin holes (25a, 25c) to connect the inner tube (25d) to the outer tube (25b), and the detachable connection structure through the division and joint part (25) of the vertical bar (22) allows the ladder part (20) to be easily connected or separated in the longitudinal direction, thereby improving transport and on-site construction efficiency.

[0034] In FIG. 6, the ladder section (20) includes a main ladder module (20A) on which a safety cover (30) is installed, and an extension ladder module (20B) assembled at the bottom of the main ladder module (20A) to extend the length of the ladder section downward.

[0035] In addition, considering the height of the structure (1), the total length of the ladder section (20) can be designed to be changed by adjusting the number of assembly of one or more of the main ladder module (20A) and the extension ladder module (20B).

[0036] In this way, the split structure and modular configuration of the vertical bar (22) make it very convenient to adjust the length of the ladder section (20), allowing the ladder to be installed flexibly according to the height of the structure at the site, thereby improving on-site constructability and enabling design changes at the site by flexibly responding to the height of the structure.

[0037] In addition, the safety cover (30) according to the present invention is installed in a tunnel shape to surround the ladder part (20).

[0038] The above safety cover (30) performs the function of protecting the worker to prevent external exposure and to prevent the worker from falling.

[0039] In addition, the safety door (40) according to the present invention is provided to open and close the lower part of the safety cover (30).

[0040] One end of the safety door (40) is connected to the safety cover (30) by a hinge (41), and the other end is provided with a lock (42) to be locked / unlocked with the safety cover (30).

[0041] The above safety door (40) is configured to open the passage only when a worker uses the ladder section (20), thereby restricting unauthorized access and can be used as a safety device against falls.

[0042] In addition, the elevated space section (50) according to the present invention is installed on the wall of the structure (1) to correspond to one side of the ladder section (20) and is configured to provide an elevated space by communicating with the ladder section (20).

[0043] The above-mentioned high space section (50) is connected to the ladder section (20) to provide a high space to the worker.

[0044] In FIGS. 2 and 3, the elevated space (50) includes a support frame (51) mounted on the wall of the structure (1), a platform (52) connected to the support frame (51) and extending laterally, a handrail (53) installed on the edge of the platform (52), and an opening (54) that is opened on one side of the handrail (53) to communicate with the safety cover (30).

[0045] That is, an opening (54) is opened on one side of the handrail (53) to communicate with the safety cover (30), allowing a worker to move from the ladder section (20) inside the safety cover (30) to the elevated space section (50).

[0046] The configuration of this elevated space section (50) can solve the problem of insufficient elevated workspace by providing sufficient space around the ladder for a worker to move and work smoothly.

[0047] In FIGS. 7 and 8, the safety cover (30) is configured to move along with the user moving along the ladder section (20) by means of a non-powered moving module (60).

[0048] The above-mentioned non-powered moving module (60) comprises a guide roller (61) installed on the upper and lower parts of the safety cover (30) and moving along the vertical bar (22), upper and lower sprockets (62) (63) installed on the upper and lower parts of the vertical bar (22), a chain (64) installed to allow orbital movement via the upper and lower sprockets (62) (63) to form first and second straight sections (64a) (64b) and to which the safety cover (30) is connected to the first straight section (64a), a counterweight (65) installed on the second straight section (64a) of the chain (64) and provided to offset the weight of the safety cover (30), a roller stopper (66) fixed to the vertical bar (22) to limit the downward movement range of the guide roller (61), and a device installed on the safety cover (30) and connected to the user side using the ladder part (20). It includes a towing hook (67) provided to be connected to a towing rope (R), a ratchet wheel (68) installed on the rotation axis of an upper sprocket (62), a pawl (69) provided to engage with the ratchet wheel (68) by an elastic body to allow forward rotational movement of the upper sprocket (62) due to upward movement of the safety cover (30) and to restrict reverse rotational movement of the upper sprocket (62) due to downward movement of the safety cover (30), and a remote wire (70) having one end connected to the pawl (69) and the other end connected to a lever (71) installed on the safety cover (30), which retracts and moves the pawl (69) to separate it from the ratchet wheel (68) by operating the lever (71).

[0049] When looking at the operating state, the safety door (40) is opened, and after the user moves into the safety cover (30) by climbing the ladder section (20), the safety door (40) is closed, and the user climbs up the ladder section (20) with the towing rope (R) connected to the towing hook (67), the safety cover (30) is allowed to move upward together with the user.

[0050] Then, at the moment the user falls and lands on the safety door (40), the safety cover (30) stops operating in a state where the reverse rotational movement of the upper sprocket (62) is restricted by the engagement of the ratchet wheel (68) and the pawl (69). As a result, the safety cover (30) stops moving downward and remains in a stopped state, and the user lands on the safety door (40) below the safety cover (30), effectively preventing a fall accident.

[0051] Meanwhile, when a worker is going down the ladder section (20), pulling the lever (71) separates the pawl (69) from the ratchet wheel (68) by the remote wire (70), thereby allowing reverse rotational movement of the upper sprocket (62) and downward movement of the safety cover (30).

[0052] That is, when the above-mentioned pawl (69) is separated from the ratchet wheel (68), reverse rotational movement of the upper sprocket (62) is allowed, enabling the safety cover (30) to move downward, and the worker can safely climb down the ladder. The automatic stop and manual release functions of this non-powered moving module (60) can effectively prevent fall accidents that may occur during the user's up-and-down movement.

[0053] As described above, the detailed description of the present invention has explained the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, but various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited to the above embodiment, but should be recognized to include the technologies of the claims described below and equivalent technical means derived from these technologies.
