Abstract
A climbing assisting equipment includes a rope transmitting device, a suspension device, and a rope adjusting device. The rope transmitting device, which is suspended by the suspension device, has a displacement generated by a loading on the rope member. Once the displacement is not larger than a reference displacement, the rope adjusting device drives the rope transmitting device to retract a rope member, and thus burden of climbers for operating the retracting of the rope can be reduced
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A climbing assisting equipment, comprising:
a rope transmitting device including a rope member and a rope reel member connected with the rope member to retract or release the rope member; a suspension device connected between the rope transmitting device and a fixed object, such that the rope transmitting device has a displacement generated by a loading on the rope member; and a rope adjusting device including a driving motor provided to drive the rope reel member and a triggering member provided to move together with the rope transmitting device, wherein when the displacement of the rope transmitting device is not larger than a reference displacement, the triggering member is triggered to actuate the driving motor to drive the rope reel member to retract the rope member.
2 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rope reel member includes a rotary shaft and a transmitting gear set, the transmitting gear set is moved together the rotary shaft and the driving motor, and the rotary shaft is provided to retract or release the rope member by a rotation.
3 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rope reel member has a side wall portion blocking at a lateral side of the rope member.
4 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the transmitting gear set is a reducing gear set for reducing a transmitting speed that is applied from the driving motor to the rope reel member.
5 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the suspension device includes a receiving member connected to the rope transmitting device and a resilience member connected resiliently between the fixed object and the receiving member for being lengthened/shortened according to the loading on the rope member.
6 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the triggering member includes a switch and a contacting part, the switch is provided on the fixed object and is coupled to the driving motor, the contacting part is provided on the rope transmitting device and is provided at a position corresponding to the switch, and when the displacement is not larger than the reference displacement, the contacting part contacts and triggers the switch to actuate the driving motor.
7 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the triggering member includes a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode is provided on the fixed object and is coupled to the driving motor, the second electrode is provided on the rope transmitting device and is coupled to the driving motor, the first electrode and the second electrode are provided at a position corresponding to each other, and when the displacement is not larger than the reference displacement, the first electrode and the second electrode are conducted with each other to actuate the driving motor.
8 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in claim 1 ; wherein the displacement is a height displacement that is varied in a direction along a direction of gravity.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
