Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of transmission line engineering, and particularly to a four-cable freight ropeway system with a pulley type self-balancing device. Background Art

[0002] Overhead freight ropeways have the advantages of strong terrain adaptability, large climbing ability, strong transportation capacity, low environmental dependence, and can cross complex terrain obstacles such as high mountains and deep valleys, and are widely used in engineering construction.

[0003] The transportation capacity of a freight ropeway mainly depends on the load-bearing capacity of the load-bearing cable. A large-section steel wire rope has a greater load-bearing capacity, but its procurement cost is high, its weight is large, and it is difficult to erect and lay, and it is not suitable for complex terrain environments such as high mountains and dense vegetation. Therefore, heavy-duty freight ropeways usually use multiple (2 or 4) small-sized steel wire ropes instead of a single large-sized steel wire rope as the load-bearing cable to share the weight of the goods and achieve the transportation of heavy goods.

[0004] A four-cable freight ropeway uses 4 steel wire ropes arranged in parallel as the load-bearing cables. This erection method has high requirements for the initial adjustment after the ropeway is erected. It is necessary to adjust the sag (length) of the 4 load-bearing cables to be basically the same at the same time to ensure that the running trolley runs balanced on the 4 load-bearing cables. When the lengths differ greatly, one of the steel wire ropes will have too much tension during transportation, which is extremely likely to cause the steel wire rope to break and result in safety accidents.

[0005] In addition, during the transportation process, due to the uneven structural elongation between the steel wire ropes, there will be a sag difference between the load-bearing cables, resulting in the deviation of the running trolley. And the existing four-cable ropeway cannot adjust the sag of the load-bearing cable in real time during the trolley running process and change the tension situation in time, and is also prone to safety accidents such as "bucket dropping". Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to improve the safety of the ropeway and the designed load-bearing capacity of the ropeway, the present invention provides a four-cable freight ropeway system with a pulley type self-balancing device. The system uses a single steel wire rope to build a four-cable freight ropeway around a pulley type tension automatic balancing device.

[0062] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification and examples. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The four-cable freight ropeway system with a pulley-type self-balancing device provided by the present invention relates to the field of transmission line engineering. The traditional erection method of the four-cable ropeway requires 4 separate steel wires as load-bearing cables. When adjusting the initial sag of the load-bearing cables, at least 3 of the load-bearing cables need to be adjusted, resulting in great difficulty in balancing adjustment of the four-cable ropeway. At the same time, dynamic balance adjustment cannot be performed during the operation of the trolley. The four-cable freight ropeway system with a pulley-type self-balancing device proposed in this patent only requires 1 steel wire and, in combination with the pulley-type automatic tension balancing device, can realize the construction of the four-cable freight ropeway. At the same time, the tension of the load-bearing cable between the brackets can be adjusted for tension balance through the pulley-type automatic tension balancing device, greatly reducing the workload and difficulty of the initial adjustment after the erection of the ropeway. At the same time, dynamic tension balance adjustment can be realized during the operation of the trolley, which is flexible and easy to use, and improves the operation stability of the four-cable freight ropeway.

[0100] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the four-cable freight ropeway with a pulley-type self-balancing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a pulley-type tension automatic balancing device, a roller-type four-cable saddle, a four-cable trolley, a support assembly, a high-speed steering trolley, working ropes (load-bearing cable, traction cable, and return cable), a return saddle, a ropeway traction device, a ground anchor and other components.

[0101] (1) The specific process of building the four-cable freight ropeway system:

[0102] 1) Bury the ground anchor according to the span, height difference of the ropeway design and the on-site terrain, and install and anchor the pulley-type tension automatic balancing device, the roller-type four-cable saddle, the support assembly, and the high-speed steering trolley.

[0103] 2) Unroll the traction cable. The traction cable winds around the traction device drum, the high-speed steering trolley, the support wheels of the roller-type four-cable saddle, the support wheels of the return saddle, and finally returns to the traction device drum to form a closed loop.

[0104] 3) Unroll the load-carrying cable and the return cable. The load-carrying cable reciprocates between the single-rope steel wire rope around the pulley-type tension automatic balance device and the roller-type four-cable saddle, and finally forms four load-carrying cables between the brackets, and anchor the two ends of the load-carrying cable steel wire rope.

[0105] 4) Finally, adjust the initial sag of the load-carrying cable so that the sags of the four load-carrying cables between the brackets are basically the same, thus ensuring the balance of the initial tension of the load-carrying cable. So far, the entire four-cable freight ropeway system has been built.

[0106] (2) After the four-cable freight ropeway system is built, a four-cable trolley can be used to transport goods on the ropeway. During the transportation process, when the four load-carrying cables are affected by vibrations during the load transportation process, wind-induced load, etc., resulting in unbalanced forces on each load-carrying cable, the load-carrying cable will rotate and adjust around the pulley of the pulley-type tension automatic balance device. At the same time, this set of systems uses specially designed roller saddles, so that the load-carrying cable can slide freely on it until the tensions of the four load-carrying cables between the brackets are basically balanced.

[0107] (3) When the four-cable freight ropeway system is dismantled, first remove the load-carrying cable, the return cable and the towing cable from the brackets and retract them; then gradually remove components such as the pulley-type tension automatic balance device, the roller-type four-cable saddle, the support assembly, and the high-speed steering pulley; finally, tidy up the ropeway site.

[0108] The above are only embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention pending approval.
