Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of tipplers, and more particularly to a tippler cable-driven device. Background Technology
[0002] The shunting machine consists of a car body, traveling wheels, guide wheels, shunting boom, and traveling transmission device. The shunting machine pulls the entire train of loaded cars into position and uncouples them, then pulls a single loaded car onto the tippler platform for positioning, and pushes the unloaded empty cars out of the tippler platform onto the transfer platform. This is very important. The shunting machine has the most control cables. During operation, a cable trolley is needed to move the cables to achieve the purpose of cable power supply. However, the existing cable trolleys directly place different cables together, which can easily cause interference during use and affect normal operation.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a tippler cable-driven walking device is provided, as shown below. Figure 1 A tipper cable-dragging walking device includes: a main body 100, comprising a housing 101, a traveling wheel 102 disposed on the side wall of the housing 101, a connecting plate 103 disposed on the housing 101, a lifting lug 104 disposed on the connecting plate 103, and a connecting member 105 disposed on the housing 101; a drive mechanism 200, comprising a drive assembly 201 disposed on the housing 101, and a buffer assembly 202 disposed inside the housing 101; and a support mechanism 300, comprising a connecting shaft 301 disposed on the lower side of the housing 101, and a fixing assembly 302 disposed between the two connecting shafts 301; two sets of fixing assemblies 302 are provided, and the two sets of fixing assemblies 302 are arranged vertically on the connecting shafts 301 respectively; two housings 101 are provided, and the traveling wheel 102 is rotatably connected to the housing 101; the two housings 101 are connected vertically. The opposite surfaces are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 103, the lifting lug 104 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 103, the connecting piece 105 is fixedly connected to the housing 101, and the connecting shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the housing 101. When the device is in use, it can be placed on the I-beam by the traveling wheel 102. The lifting lug 104 is provided to facilitate the worker to connect the device to the external power mechanism by steel wire rope. Under the pull of the external power mechanism, the device moves by rolling on the I-beam through the traveling wheel 102. Multiple devices can be connected by steel wire rope through the connecting piece 105, so that multiple devices can be connected together. The length of the steel wire rope is shorter than the cable between multiple devices, thereby effectively avoiding the cable bearing tension. This makes it convenient for the worker to pull multiple devices simultaneously to perform cable dragging when using the external power mechanism to move the device.
[0028] Specifically, the drive assembly 201 includes a motor 201a mounted on the housing 101, an output shaft 201b mounted on the output end of the motor 201a, a rotating shaft 201c mounted inside the housing 101, a first connecting member 201d mounted on the rotating shaft 201c, and a second connecting member 201e mounted on the housing 101. The output end of the motor 201a is fixedly connected to the output shaft 201b, and the rotating shaft 201c is rotatably connected to the housing 101. When working, the motor 201a can be started, and the motor 201a will drive the output shaft 201b to rotate. When the output shaft 201b rotates, it will drive the rotating shaft 201c to rotate synchronously through the separator 202b, thereby driving the first connecting member 201d and the second connecting member 201e to rotate through the rotating shaft 201c.
[0029] Furthermore, the first linkage 201d includes a worm gear 201d-1 disposed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 201c, and a worm 201d-2 disposed on the housing 101; the output end of the worm 201d-2 passes through the housing 101 and is connected to the connecting shaft 301, and the worm gear 201d-1 meshes with the worm 201d-2; the worm gear 201d-1 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 201c, and the worm 201d-2 is rotatably connected to the housing 101. When the motor 201a drives the output shaft 201b to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 201c, the rotation of the rotating shaft 201c will drive the worm gear 201d-1 to rotate. When the worm gear 201d-1 rotates, the meshing of the worm gear 201d-1 with the worm 201d-2 will drive the worm 201d-2 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 301 to rotate to perform the adjustment work of the fixing member 302a.
[0030] Furthermore, the second linkage 201e includes a first gear 201e-1 mounted on the rotating shaft 201c and a second gear 201e-2 mounted inside the housing 101. The first gear 201e-1 and the second gear 201e-2 mesh with each other, and the diameters of the first gear 201e-1 and the second gear 201e-2 are different. The output end of the second gear 201e-2 passes through the housing 101 and is fixedly connected to the traveling wheel 102. The first gear 201e-1 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 201c, and the second gear 201e-2 is rotatably connected to the housing 101. When the motor 201a drives the output shaft 201b to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 201c, the rotation of the rotating shaft 201c will drive the first gear 201e-1 to rotate synchronously. When the first gear 201e-1 rotates, the meshing relationship between the first gear 201e-1 and the second gear 201e-2 drives the second gear 201e-2 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the traveling wheel 102 to rotate. Thus, while the external power mechanism pulls the device to move on the I-beam using the traveling wheel 102, it provides electric assistance, increasing the efficiency of walking while reducing the pressure on the external power mechanism and making it easier for personnel to use. The diameter of the first gear 201e-1 is smaller than that of the second gear 201e-2, which slows down the traveling wheel 102 when it is driven by the motor 201a, increasing the stability of the device when it moves.
[0031] Operation process: During operation, the device can be connected to an external power mechanism through the lifting lug 104 to move on the I-beam. At the same time, the motor 201a can be started to drive the walking wheel 102 to rotate, providing electric assistance for the device's movement and increasing the device's working efficiency and stability.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it also includes a buffer assembly 202, comprising a buffer member 202a disposed on the side wall of the housing 101, a separating member 202b disposed on the rotating shaft 201c, and a limiting member 202c disposed on the housing 101. During use, when multiple devices collide or when a device reaches its destination and collides with a wall or limiting structure, the buffer member 202a will pre-contact with other device structures to absorb and buffer the impact force, preventing structural damage or cable loosening due to excessive impact. When an impact occurs, the separator 202b will separate the rotating shaft 201c from the output shaft 201b to prevent the motor 201a from continuing to drive the walking wheel 102 and causing structural damage and jamming. Subsequently, the limiter 202c will limit the position of the separator 202b. When the device is away from the impact and needs to continue walking, the operator can manually adjust the limiter 202c to connect the rotating shaft 201c and the output shaft 201b together, and then start the motor 201a to continue the assisted walking operation.
[0034] Specifically, the buffer component 202a includes a buffer pad 202a-1 disposed on the side wall of the housing 101, a fixed plate 202a-2 disposed between the buffer pads 202a-1, a movable column 202a-3 disposed on the fixed plate 202a-2, and a pressure sensor 202a-4 disposed inside the housing 101. Two buffer pads 202a-1 are provided, each fixedly connected to the housing 101, and each fixed plate 202a-2 is fixedly connected to the movable column 202a-3. The movable column 202a-3 penetrates the corresponding buffer pad 202a-1 and the housing 101 and is movably connected to both the corresponding buffer pad 202a-1 and the housing 101. The pressure sensor 202a-4 is fixedly connected to the housing 101. When multiple devices collide or a device reaches its destination and collides with a wall or limit... When the structure is in position, the buffer pad 202a-1 will make contact with the external structure in advance, thereby absorbing and buffering the impact force. This prevents the structure from being damaged or the cable from becoming loose due to excessive impact force. The fixed plate 202a-2 increases the overall strength of the buffer pad 202a-1. At the same time, when the buffer pad 202a-1 collides with the external structure, it will push the fixed plate 202a-2 and the movable column 202a-3 into the housing 101 due to its own contraction. After the movable column 202a-3 moves to a certain distance, it will come into contact with the pressure sensor 202a-4 and apply a certain pressure to it under the impingement of the impact force of the device. After the pressure sensor 202a-4 detects the pressure signal, it will automatically shut down the motor 201a to stop working, preventing it from continuing to drive the walking wheel 102 to rotate and causing the device to continue to collide or the structure to jam, thus increasing the safety and stability of the device.
[0035] Furthermore, the separating component 202b includes a push rod 202b-1 disposed on the movable column 202a-3, a bearing 202b-2 disposed on the rotating shaft 201c, a bearing seat 202b-3 disposed between the bearing 202b-2 and the housing 101, a movable seat 202b-4 disposed on the bearing 202b-2, a first spring 202b-5 disposed between the movable seat 202b-4 and the bearing 202b-2, a locking block 202b-6 disposed on the outer surface of the output shaft 201b and the rotating shaft 201c, and a limiting groove 202b-7 disposed on the inner side wall of the movable seat 202b-4; the limiting groove 202b-7 is adapted to the locking block 202b-6; the push rod 202b-1 is fixedly connected to the movable column 202a-3. Bearing housing 202b-3 is fixedly connected to housing 101. Rotating shaft 201c is rotatably connected to bearing housing 202b-3 via bearing 202b-2. The two ends of the first spring 202b-5 are fixedly connected to movable seat 202b-4 and bearing 202b-2 respectively. The corresponding locking block 202b-6 is fixedly connected to output shaft 201b and rotating shaft 201c. When the device experiences a collision, the buffer pad 202a-1 pre-contacts the collision point to buffer the impact. When the movable column 202a-3 moves inward, it simultaneously drives the push rod 202b-1 to move inward synchronously. The push rod 202b-1 will insert into the gap between movable seat 202b-4 and housing 101 during its inward movement, and through the push rod 202b-1... The inclined surface design pushes the movable seat 202b-4 towards the rotating shaft 201c. When the movable seat 202b-4 is pushed to its end point, the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b will separate from the limiting groove 202b-7. At this time, the rotation of the output shaft 201b driven by the motor 201a will not drive the rotating shaft 201c to rotate synchronously. This can effectively prevent the motor 201a from continuing to drive the traveling wheel 102 to rotate due to inertia or control signal delay and structural failure, thus avoiding the situation where the device continues to collide or the structure gets stuck, increasing the safety and stability of the device. Among them, when the movable seat 202b-4 is pushed to its final position by the push rod 202b-1, the limiting member 202c will limit the position of the movable seat 202b-4. At this time, the output shaft 201b... Because the position of the locking block 202b-6 on 01b does not correspond to the position of the limiting groove 202b-7 due to the inertial rotation of the output shaft 201b, this is to prevent the buffer pad 202a-1 from expanding and rebounding when the device separates from the external collision structure, causing the top rod 202b-1 to contract and the movable seat 202b-4 to return directly to its original position. This would prevent the operator from accurately locking the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b into the limiting groove 202b-7 and connecting the output shaft 201b and the rotating shaft 201c together. This is to adjust the position of the limiting component 202c after the operator moves the device on the I-beam using an external power mechanism, causing multiple devices to collide or devices that have collided with the wall limiting structure to separate by a certain distance.The movable seat 202b-4 is separated from the movable seat 202b-4, and its position is no longer restricted. At this time, the first spring 202b-5 will rebound due to the disappearance of the limiting force, thereby pushing the movable seat 202b-4 towards the output shaft 201b for automatic reset. At this time, the motor 201a is started. The initial speed of the motor 201a driving the output shaft 201b to rotate is low. When the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b moves to correspond with the limiting groove 202b-7, the movable seat 202b-4 will be locked onto the output shaft 202b-4 under the push of the first spring 202b-5. On 01b, the limiting groove 202b-7 engages with the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b. At this time, the motor 201a drives the output shaft 201b to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 201c to rotate synchronously via the movable seat 202b-4. Furthermore, because the multiple colliding devices or devices are separated from the colliding external structure by a certain distance, the possibility of secondary collisions due to inertia when the device drives the walking wheel 102 to rotate due to the connection between the motor 201a and the output shaft 201b and the rotating shaft 201c is effectively avoided, thus increasing the safety and practicality of the device.
[0036] Furthermore, the limiting member 202c includes a slot 202c-1 disposed on the outer surface of the movable seat 202b-4, a limiting shell 202c-2 disposed on the housing 101, a movable block 202c-3 disposed within the limiting shell 202c-2, an insert block 202c-4 disposed on the movable block 202c-3, a second spring 202c-5 disposed between the movable block 202c-3 and the limiting shell 202c-2, and a toggle rod 202c-6 disposed on the movable block 202c-3; the insert block 202c-4 is adapted to the slot 202c-1, and the toggle rod 202c-6 penetrates the housing 101;The limiting shell 202c-2 is fixedly connected to the shell 101, the movable block 202c-3 is slidably connected to the limiting shell 202c-2, the insert block 202c-4 is fixedly connected to the movable block 202c-3, the two ends of the second spring 202c-5 are fixedly connected to the movable block 202c-3 and the limiting shell 202c-2 respectively, and the actuating rod 202c-6 is fixedly connected to the movable block 202c-3. When the device is impacted, the buffer pad 202a-1 contracts and buffers, causing the push rod 202b-1 to move. When the push rod 202b-1 pushes the movable seat 202b-4 towards the rotating shaft 201c until the final position, the slot 202c-1 will... When the second spring 202c-5 moves to correspond with the insertion block 202c-4, the resistance caused by the empty slot 202c-1 disappears, and the movable block 202c-3 moves within the limiting shell 202c-2 through its own elasticity. As the movable block 202c-3 moves, it drives the insertion block 202c-4 to move synchronously until the insertion block 202c-4 is inserted into the slot 202c-1, limiting the position of the movable seat 202b-4. At this time, the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b does not correspond to the position of the limiting groove 202b-7 due to the inertial rotation of the output shaft 201b, thus preventing collisions between the device and external parts. During structural separation, the expansion and rebound of the buffer pad 202a-1 causes the top rod 202b-1 to contract, resulting in the movable seat 202b-4 returning directly to its original position. This affects the operator's ability to accurately engage the locking block 202b-6 on the output shaft 201b into the limiting groove 202b-7 to connect the output shaft 201b with the rotating shaft 201c. When the position of the device needs to be adjusted and the movable seat 202b-4 needs to be reset to connect the output shaft 201b with the rotating shaft 201c, the operator can pull the actuating rod 202c-6 outside the housing 101, thereby moving the movable block 202c-3 and the insertion block 202c- 4. The movement proceeds synchronously until the insertion block 202c-4 separates from the slot 202c-1, thereby using the first spring 202b-5 to automatically reset the movable seat 202b-4. This operation is simple and convenient for personnel. At this time, the second spring 202c-5 will continue to push the insertion block 202c-4 due to its own elastic force generated by contraction, until the slot 202c-1 aligns with the insertion block 202c-4 again. At the same time, the insertion block 202c-4 will be immediately engaged into the slot 202c-1 for limiting its position. A rubber pad is provided on the insertion block 202c-4 to reduce wear resistance on its surface during the rotation of the movable seat 202b-4.
[0037] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.
[0038] Operating Procedure: During use, the buffer pad 202a-1 absorbs and buffers the impact force generated when the device collides, increasing the stability of the device. At the same time, the contact between the movable column 202a-3 and the pressure sensor 202a-4 automatically stops the motor 201a, preventing it from continuing to move the device and causing jamming, thus increasing the safety and stability of the device. Simultaneously, the separator 202b is used to separate the output shaft 201b from the rotating shaft 201c, preventing damage caused by the device continuing to move due to inertial idling, control delay, or structural failure, further increasing the safety and stability of the device. When the separator 202b separates the output shaft 201b from the rotating shaft 201c, the limiting component 202c limits its position. After the device separates from the colliding object and moves to a safe position, the separator 202b can be manually adjusted to reset, thereby reconnecting the output shaft 201b and the rotating shaft 201c.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that it also includes a fixing component 302, comprising a fixing member 302a disposed between the two connecting shafts 301, and a cable hanger 302b disposed between the two connecting shafts 301; the cable hanger 302b is fixedly connected to the connecting shafts 301, and two sets of cable hangers 302b are provided, so that the power cable and control cable can be placed on the two sets of cable hangers 302b respectively during use. This separation of the power and control cables can effectively prevent interference. When the motor 201a drives the rotating shaft 201c and the traveling wheel 102 to rotate on the frame 302b, the rotation of the rotating shaft 201c will drive the worm gear 201d-1 to rotate. When the worm gear 201d-1 rotates, it will drive the worm gear 201d-2 to rotate because the worm gear 201d-1 meshes with the worm 201d-2. In turn, the worm gear 201d-2 will drive the connecting shaft 301 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 301 will drive the fixing part 302a to move up and down, thereby squeezing and confining the cable on the cable hanger 302b, increasing the safety and stability of the device.
[0041] Specifically, the fastener 302a includes a threaded cylinder 302a-1 disposed on the connecting shaft 301, a protective shell 302a-2 disposed between the two transverse threaded cylinders 302a-1, a limiting seat 302a-3 disposed within the protective shell 302a-2, a third spring 302a-4 disposed between the limiting seat 302a-3 and the protective shell 302a-2, an elastic compression block 302a-5 disposed on the lower side of the limiting seat 302a-3, and a threaded groove 302a-6 disposed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 301; the threaded groove 302a-6 is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 302a-1.The protective shell 302a-2 is fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 302a-1. The two ends of the third spring 302a-4 are fixedly connected to the limiting seat 302a-3 and the protective shell 302a-2 respectively. The elastic compression block 302a-5 is fixedly connected to the limiting seat 302a-3, and the limiting seat 302a-3 is slidably connected to the protective shell 302a-2. When the motor 201a drives the worm gear 201d-1 to rotate the worm 201d-2 along with the connecting shaft 301, the threaded cylinder 302a-1 will drive the protective shell 302a-2 to move up and down on the connecting shaft 301 through the threaded groove 302a-6 until the elastic compression block 302a-5 is connected to the cable. The cable is pressed and confined onto the cable hanger 302b. At this time, the connecting shaft 301 continues to rotate as the device moves, causing the protective shell 302a-2 to continue moving downwards until the threaded cylinder 302a-1 is completely disengaged from the threaded groove 302a-6. At this point, the third spring 302a-4 contracts due to the reduced distance between the cable and the threaded cylinder 302a-1, preventing it from continuing to move downwards due to the rotation of the connecting shaft 301 when the threaded cylinder 302a-1 is disengaged from the threaded groove 302a-6, thus avoiding damage to the cable surface. When the device reaches its destination and the cable needs to be unloaded, the motor 201a can be started to reverse the drive of the connecting shaft 302a-2. When the connecting shaft 301 rotates, the second spring 302a-4, due to its own elasticity, pushes the protective shell 302a-2 along with the threaded cylinder 302a-1 upwards, making it contact the threaded groove 302a-6. Thus, when the connecting shaft 301 rotates in the opposite direction, the threaded groove 302a-6 reconnects with the threaded cylinder 302a-1. This allows the elastic compression block 302a-5 to be lifted and separated from the cable when the device moves a short distance in the initial direction, facilitating cable removal. When the device needs to move back to the initial position, it will drive the threaded cylinder 302a-1 to continue moving upwards until the threaded cylinder 302a-1 disengages from the threaded groove 302a-6. At this point, the connection... Continued rotation of shaft 301 will not cause the protective housing 302a-2 to continue moving. When the cable is to be moved again for cable traction, the threaded cylinder 302a-1 will contact the threaded groove 302a-6 due to the weight of the elastic compression seat 302a-5, causing the elastic compression seat 302a-5 to descend and perform a limiting operation. If the operator needs to maintain the cable position for an extended period, external bolts can be used to pass through the through holes on the reinforcing rods at both ends of the elastic compression seat 302a-5 and connect to the protective housing 302a-2 to limit its position, ensuring it remains in a limited position and does not rise with the reverse rotation of the connecting shaft 301.
[0042] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.
[0043] Operation process: When using the device, the cable to be dragged can be placed on the cable hanger 302b, and the power and supply cables can be separated to prevent interference. When the motor 201a drives the device to move, the first linkage 201d drives the connecting shaft 301 to rotate, thereby driving the fixing part 302a to move and squeeze and limit the position of the cable. No manual limitation is required, saving time and effort. When the device moves in the opposite direction, the cable will be released, making it convenient for personnel to adjust and maintain the position of the cable.
