The invention belongs to the technical field of high-rise buildings, and discloses a
rope retracting and releasing device. The
rope retracting and releasing device comprises a
rope containing cylinder, a rope retracting and releasing coiling block, a counter weight, a speed
reducer and a driving source, a steel
wire rope is wound around the rope containing cylinder, the end of the steel wire ropeis wound around the rope retracting and releasing coiling block and then connected to the counter weight, the speed
reducer is in transmission connection with the rope retracting and releasing coilingblock, the driving source is in transmission connection with the speed
reducer, and the driving source can drive the rope retracting and releasing coiling block to rotate through the speed reducer and is used for releasing and taking-up of the steel
wire rope. According to the rope retracting and releasing device, through mutual cooperation of the rope retracting and releasing coiling block, thespeed reducer and the driving source, manual releasing is replaced with electric mechanical rope releasing, easy shifting can be achieved, and handiness and safety are achieved. By arranging the roperetracting and releasing coiling block, the rope retracting and releasing coiling block achieves the effects of transmission and pulling on the steel
wire rope, the end of the steel wire rope is woundaround the rope retracting and releasing coiling block and then connected to the counter weight, thus the balancing effect is achieved, and falling of the steel wire rope is facilitated.
