Abstract


The high-rise building rescue system is developed, including a personal rescue winch, a rescue basket, and a ladder set. It has shown many advantages, such as compactness, lightness, ease of use, and the ability to operate in two directions (both lifting and lowering). Because of these characteristics, the system at work can produce undesired vibrations. Furthermore, the proposed winch has a different working principle from conventional winches, and it has yet to be thoroughly studied in the dynamic aspect during operation. In this paper, based on the introduction and analysis of the operational characteristics, the group establishes the dynamic model of the winch and the whole system. Next, the kinematic parameters of the rescue basket are investigated through Matlab software, corresponding to the components that can be interchanged in the system under different conditions. Since then, their suitability and factors affecting vibration to the rescued person are evaluated. According to the obtained results, the personal rescue winch and parts in the system working by manual drive have kinematic and dynamic parameters suitable for human rescue conditions.
