Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tension machines, and in particular to an energy recovery pure electric tension machine and a control method for active and passive working conditions thereof. Background Art

[0002] A hydraulic tensioner is used for ground wire installation in power transmission line projects. Depending on the diameter of the conductor, ground wire, or traction rope (hereinafter referred to as the ground wire), different sheave bottom diameters can be selected. The ground wire is wound around the tensioner sheave, and the tail car provides sufficient friction between the tensioner sheave and the ground wire. The tail car axle frame carries the ground wire reel, and the tail car power head provides power to the reel. The tensioner sheave and tail car rotate when pulled by an external force such as a traction machine.

[0003] Existing hydraulic tensioners typically use a traditional diesel engine as power, which is transmitted through a hydraulic and mechanical system to the tension pulley. This overflow in the hydraulic system causes the hydraulic oil to heat up, wastes energy, and has major drawbacks such as noise pollution, high fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the shortcomings of the hydraulic tensioner powered by the traditional diesel engine, on the one hand, the present invention provides an energy recovery pure electric tensioner, which removes the diesel engine system and hydraulic system in the traditional hydraulic tensioner, uses an integrated charging and generating electric motor to directly drive the reducer to drive the tension wheel, and uses a magnetic powder brake to provide tension for the tension wheel, achieving the same effect as the traditional hydraulic tensioner, realizing zero fuel and zero emissions, effectively reducing energy consumption and reducing construction costs.

[0017] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a control method for the above-mentioned energy recovery pure electric tension machine, including active working conditions and passive working conditions. The active working condition includes rewinding and wire feeding. The rewinding control method includes the following steps:

[0018] During rewinding, the control panel controls the first motor to rotate forward to drive the tension wheel, and adjusts the speed of the first motor to achieve a reasonable output power;

[0019] The control panel controls the first magnetic powder brake and the second magnetic powder brake to be inactive, and controls the second motor to rotate forward, driving the ground wire reel to rewind, thereby providing reliable friction between the ground wire and the tension wheel;

At the same time, the first motor and the second motor act as generators, transmitting the generated electrical energy to the energy storage battery for storage.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The energy recovery pure electric tension machine provided by the present invention eliminates the diesel engine system and hydraulic system in the traditional hydraulic tension machine, adopts an integrated charging and generating electric motor to directly drive the reducer to drive the tension wheel, and adopts a magnetic powder brake to provide tension for the tension wheel, thereby achieving the same effect as the traditional hydraulic tension machine, realizing zero fuel and zero emissions, effectively reducing energy consumption and lowering construction costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "top / bottom," and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "provided with," "mounted / connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0034] The hydraulic tension machine is divided into active working conditions and passive working conditions. Through the analysis of the operating conditions of the hydraulic tension machine, the active working time of the tension machine is about 12% of the passive working time. The passive working condition is towed by the traction machine. The tension machine relies on the overflow of the hydraulic system overflow valve to provide tension and convert mechanical energy into heat energy for release.

[0035] The present invention is different from a transmission hydraulic tension machine in that it eliminates the diesel engine system and the hydraulic system. The present invention uses an integrated charging and generating electric motor to directly drive the reducer to drive the tension wheel, and uses a magnetic powder brake to provide tension for the tension wheel. When operating in active mode, the electric motor directly drives the tension wheel to move; when operating in passive mode, a magnetic powder brake is used to provide tension for the tension wheel, and the tension wheel drives the electric motor to realize the generator mode, which is used to recover the energy generated by the tension machine in the passive mode and store the electrical energy in the energy storage battery as the energy source when the tension machine is in the active mode. The tail car part of the tension machine also uses a combination of a motor and a magnetic powder brake to achieve the same effect as the traditional hydraulic tension machine.

[0036] Specifically:

[0038] Tension wheel 8;

At the same time, the first motor 2 and the second motor 13 act as generators, and transmit the generated electrical energy to the energy storage battery 1 for storage.

[0064] In the present invention, the torque sensor plays a feedback role, and the operator adjusts the tension through the control panel 7 according to the tension displayed on the torque sensor.

[0065] The control panel 7 controls the resistance generated by the magnetic powder brake (the first magnetic powder brake 6 and the second magnetic powder brake 10) by adjusting the braking current, and transmits the resistance to the tension wheel through the reducer to control the tension of the tension wheel.
