Climbing assisting equipment

Abstract

A climbing assisting equipment includes a rope transmitting device and a slow-descending device. The rope transmitting device includes a rope member and a rope reeling member. The slow-descending device has a transmission member connected between the rope reel member and a generator. When the rope member is pulled down, the generator is driven by the rope reel member via the transmission means to generate electrical power to a generator load, and to thus reduce a descending speed of the rope member by a resistant moment to the generator.

What 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 to release the rope member; and   a slow-descending device including a transmission member, a generator, and a generator load, the transmission member being connected between the rope reel member and the generator, wherein when the rope member is pulled down from the rope reel member, the generator is driven by the rope reel member via the transmission member and generates electrical power to the generator load to thus reduce a descending speed of the rope member by a resistant moment applied from the generator load to the generator.   
     
     
         2 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rope reel member includes a rotary shaft, the rotary shaft is provided to retract or to release the rope member by rotation. 
     
     
         3 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the rotary shaft has a side wall portion on the rotary shaft to block at a lateral side of the rope member. 
     
     
         4 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a regulating device including a weight sensor and a load adjustment, wherein the weight sensor is provided to sense a weight of a climber, the load adjustment is connected between the weight sensor and the generator load to adjust the generator load according to the weight of the climber. 
     
     
         5 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the generator load is provided in proportion to a weight of a climber. 
     
     
         6 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the generator has a one-way input shaft, the one-way input shaft is rotated and driven by the rope reel member via the transmission member, when the rope member is pulled down from the rope reel member, the one-way input shaft is turned in a positive direction to drive the generator to generate electrical power, and when the rope member is retracted by the rope reel member, the one-way input shaft is turned in a reverse direction and to lead that the generator generates no electrical power. 
     
     
         7 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a suspension device, wherein the suspension device is 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, the transmission member is a clutch member, and accordingly when the displacement is larger than a reference displacement, the rope reel member is moved together with the generator via the clutch member, and when the displacement is not larger than the reference displacement, the clutch member is moved to release the rope reel member from the generator. 
     
     
         8 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the suspension device includes a receiving member and a resilience member, the receiving member is connected to the rope transmitting device, and the resilience member is connected resiliently between the fixed object and the receiving member for being lengthened/shortened according to the loading on the rope member. 
     
     
         9 . The climbing assisting equipment as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the clutch member includes a first gear connected with the rope reel member and a second gear connected with the generator, when the displacement is larger than the reference displacement, the first gear is moved to engage with the second gear.
