Climbing Park Safety Device Control System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Climbing parks face safety concerns due to the risk of collisions and overloading on exercises like ziplines, which are designed for single users, necessitating strict safety rules to prevent multiple occupants.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring system that uses a guide element with an identification area and a safety device handling system to detect occupancy, switching between release and blocking modes to prevent multiple users from accessing the same exercise simultaneously, ensuring safety through controlled coupling and displacement of safety devices along the guide element.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If exercises in climbing parks are made accessible to multiple users, then productivity and user throughput increase, but safety risks arise due to overloading and collisions on exercises designed for single users
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses identification devices (e.g., RFID readers, optical sensors) to detect when a user is present on an exercise and provides real-time feedback to a control unit. This feedback mechanism enables the system to dynamically control access based on current occupancy, allowing multiple users to use different exercises simultaneously while preventing overloading on single-user exercises.
Solution Approach 2:
A control unit acts as an intermediary between users and exercises, managing the allocation of exercise resources. The control unit receives occupancy information from identification devices and controls locking mechanisms to mediate access, ensuring that exercises are used safely according to their capacity requirements while maximizing overall park utilization.
2Reliability
If strict safety rules and monitoring systems are implemented to prevent overloading, then safety is improved, but device complexity and operational restrictions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The climbing park is divided into multiple exercise zones, each equipped with its own identification device and locking mechanism. This segmentation allows independent monitoring and control of each exercise, enabling safety management without requiring a single complex centralized system for the entire park.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically monitors occupancy and controls access without requiring manual intervention from safety personnel. Identification devices automatically detect user presence, and locking mechanisms automatically prevent access when exercises are occupied, enabling the system to serve its own safety functions autonomously.
3Reliability
If access to exercises is restricted to ensure safety, then safety is improved, but ease of operation and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checks before allowing users to access exercises. Identification devices detect user presence in advance, and the control unit pre-approves or denies access before the user attempts to use an exercise, preventing safety issues before they occur while providing clear guidance to users.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual safety checking and access control are replaced with automated electronic systems. Instead of requiring safety personnel to manually monitor and control exercise access, the system uses electronic identification devices, control units, and automated locking mechanisms to manage safety, reducing operational complexity and improving response time.

AI summary
The invention relates to a system for controlling the use of an exercise course (110) by a person (A) in a climbing park, having a guiding element (111) which extends along a longitudinal direction and along which a person (A) can move between a suspension region (112) of the guiding element (111) and a removal region (118) of the guiding element (111). A securing device (101) can be attached in a movable manner along the guiding element (111) between the suspension region (112) and the removal region (118). The securing device (101) can be suspended on the guiding element (111) in the suspension region (112) and removed from the guiding element (111) in the removal region (118). An identification device (102) is configured such that at least one suspension of the securing device (101) can be identified within the identification region by means of the identification device (102) so that the occupancy of the guiding element (111) by another person (B) can thus be identified. A securing device actuator (103) can be controlled with the identification device (102) such that the securing device actuator (103) can be adjusted to a release position and to a blocking mode if the occupancy of the guiding element (111) by another person (B) has been identified. The securing device actuator (103) is coupled to the securing device (101) such that a suspension of the securing device (101) in the suspension region (112) and/or a displacement of the securing device (101) along the guiding element (111) is blocked in the blocking mode.
