Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power transmission line construction technology, and specifically relates to an automatic wire rope coiling machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's power grid industry, a large number of construction and laying-out infrastructure projects are carried out every year. The use of steel wire ropes in tension laying-out projects is increasing. However, after construction is completed, used steel wire ropes are often arbitrarily piled up in the open air. The power construction environment is harsh; steel wire ropes are frequently exposed to wind, sun, and rain. If not maintained in time, oil and mud on the ropes will accelerate wear between the wires with repeated use, thus creating safety hazards.

[0003] To prevent accidents such as personal injury, traffic disruption, and power outages caused by broken wire ropes, all types of construction wire ropes must be promptly recycled and disposed of after construction is completed. Therefore, the standardized management of wire ropes has become an urgent issue to be addressed.

[0004] Utility model announcement CN218335274U discloses a pull-and-release cable winding and unwinding device. Key technical features include a support mechanism and a reel with cable winding grooves and wire winding grooves. A wire winding reel is located on one side of the reel. A first wire rope is wound around the wire winding reel. A chain counterweight is connected at one end to the other end of the first wire rope and at the other end to a fixed surface. A cable is wound within the cable winding groove. A second wire rope is wound within the wire winding groove, with one end connected to a mobile power supply device. This pull-and-release cable winding and unwinding device focuses on separating the cable and wire rope. The length of the wire rope between the wire winding groove and the mobile power supply device is less than the length of the cable between the cable winding groove and the mobile power supply device. When the mobile power supply device moves, the wire rope bears the load first, while the cable is not. The weight of the chain counterweight and the entire weight and load of the reel are borne by the wire rope, maximizing the protection of the cable under minimum load and normal power supply, and significantly extending the cable's lifespan.

[0005] However, the above structure still needs to be further simplified, and the deviation of the wire rope direction needs to be further improved. According to the actual production needs, it is still necessary to develop an automatic wire rope coiling machine with a high degree of automation and low work intensity to solve the problem of non-standard wire rope storage. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an automatic wire rope winding machine that automates the lifting and transportation of the wire rope winding reel and solves the problem of non-standard wire rope storage.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] An automatic wire rope coiling machine includes a torque release device, a tension adjustment device, and a rope coil docking device. The torque release device includes a base, a placement plate, and a guide column placed on the base. The bottom of the guide column is fitted with a bearing device and rotates with the base. The placement plate is fitted on the outside of the main column and placed above the bearing device.

[0009] The tension adjustment device includes a fixed frame and a guide arm and a hinged swing arm spaced apart above the fixed frame. The guide arm is horizontally fixed on the fixed frame and a first guide roller is rotatably mounted above it. The hinged swing arm is rotatably connected to the fixed frame and has a height-adjustable fixed guide wheel at its left end, while a rotatable second guide roller is fixed at its right end and the right end is connected to the guide arm through a return spring.

[0010] The rope reel docking device includes a movable frame, a rope reel positioning mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism.

[0011] The rope reel positioning mechanism is fixed inside the movable frame and is set as a gently sloping rope reel track, and the end of the rope reel track is provided with a positioning groove for limiting the position of the rope reel.

[0012] The lifting mechanism is mounted on the movable frames on both sides of the rope reel track, and each of them has a U-shaped support groove at its top for supporting the rope reel shaft.

[0013] The transmission mechanism is mounted on the upper end of the movable frame, and its shaft extension end is equipped with a transmission slatted shaft. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also has a corresponding positioning slatted shaft fixed to the outer side of the U-shaped bracket on its corresponding side.

[0014] When the rope take-up reel moves along the rope reel track to the positioning groove, the lifting mechanism lifts it up and the U-shaped support groove lifts the rope take-up reel shaft and drives the rope take-up reel to be synchronously lifted to the coaxial position with the transmission mechanism. The lifting mechanism stops moving, and then the transmission mechanism drives the transmission swivel shaft to cooperate with the positioning swivel shaft for positioning.

[0015] Between the rope reel docking device and the tension adjustment device, there is also a rope entry guide roller, a wire pressing mechanism and a wire laying mechanism located at its rear end. The wire pressing mechanism is vertically adjustable, and a rear guide roller arranged vertically behind the wire pressing mechanism is used to straighten the direction of the wire rope.

[0016] The cable laying mechanism includes a support column and positive and negative lead screws mounted on the support column. A slider is movably mounted on the positive and negative lead screws, and the lower end of the slider is limited by a limiting rod fixed on the support column at a corresponding interval. A guide roller group is also fixed on the slider, and the guide roller group moves synchronously with the slider. The right connecting shaft of the positive and negative lead screws is connected to the cable laying motor drive.

[0017] The take-up mechanism includes a take-up reel, a take-up reel shaft, and chucks and positioning clamps symmetrically arranged on both sides of the take-up reel. The take-up reel is rotatably connected to the take-up reel shaft via the chucks, and the positioning clamps are correspondingly located on the outside of the chucks and can be detachably installed on the take-up reel shaft to lock or loosen it.

[0018] When the positioning clamp tightens the take-up reel shaft, the transmission mechanism drives the take-up reel shaft to rotate and synchronously drives the take-up reel to rotate for take-up operation.

[0019] The positioning clamp includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp that are fastened to each other, with one end of the upper clamp and the lower clamp hinged together and the other end detachably connected by a bolt structure.

[0020] The bolt structure uses a wing nut and a rotating stud that fit together.

[0021] The pressing mechanism includes a pressing wheel bracket and a pressing wheel disposed in the pressing wheel bracket. The pressing wheel bracket is also provided with an auxiliary bracket and a lifting screw. The bottom end of the lifting screw is fixed on the upper end surface of the auxiliary bracket, and the other end passes through the pressing wheel bracket and is locked by the provided nut.

[0022] The lower end of the clamping wheel bracket is also symmetrically provided with long key holes on both sides. The two ends of the clamping wheel pass through the auxiliary bracket and the long key holes of the clamping wheel bracket in sequence and are fixed by the locking bolts provided on the outside.

[0023] The clamping wheel is vertically adjustable by adjusting the height of the lifting screw.

[0024] A flaw detection mechanism is also provided between the pressing mechanism and the rear guide roller.

[0025] The flaw detection mechanism uses a non-destructive testing flaw detector, and the front end of the non-destructive testing flaw detector is also equipped with an input guide roller.

[0026] The rear guide roller includes two vertical guide rollers spaced apart and a horizontal guide roller located at the front end of the two vertical guide rollers.

[0027] The guide roller assembly includes two vertically spaced guide rollers and a horizontal guide roller located at the rear end of the two vertical guide rollers.

[0028] The mobile frame is equipped with casters at the bottom and its ground clearance is controlled by a hydraulic lifting device.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0030] (1) The automatic wire rope coiling machine releases the torque generated by the wire rope during the coiling process by setting a torque release device to prevent the wire rope from twisting and causing the coil to become disordered. The tension adjustment device can adjust the tension of the wire rope in real time during the coiling operation, making the coiling more orderly. By increasing the friction of the wire rope, the speed is slowed down, thus achieving the purpose of tension adjustment. The coil docking device realizes the automatic lifting and transfer of the coil and the collection of the wire rope through the lifting mechanism and the transmission mechanism. The positioning, docking and rotation of the wire rope coil are highly automated, and the coiling is more efficient. At the same time, the rope guide roller, the wire pressing mechanism and the wire laying mechanism between the coil docking device and the tension adjustment device make the wire laying and coiling actions more coordinated. The wire laying mechanism uses positive and negative screws for automatic reversal, which can realize the orderly collection of the wire rope, improve the current situation of disorderly stacking of wire rope in the warehouses of various machinery companies in the industry, regulate the management of power wire rope, and improve the efficiency of wire rope collection.

[0031] (2) This automatic wire rope coiling machine is designed to address the problems of wire rope accumulation damage and difficulty in coiling. It adopts a flange-type medium and high pressure hydraulic cylinder for lifting, which is compact, small in size, and convenient for lifting the coil. It is driven by a low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motor, which is stable in operation and reliable in braking. To address the problem of unstable tension of the wire rope during coiling, an adaptive tension adjustment module is designed. Through the cooperation of the swing arm, spring, rolling wheel and fixed wheel, the wire rope itself maintains a stable tension at all times, making the wire rope more neat after coiling. To address the problem of whether the wire rope is damaged, a wire rope flaw detection system is equipped. When the wire rope passes through it, the system will automatically detect whether the wire rope has broken wires, broken strands, wear, corrosion, fatigue and other damage, and alarm for maintenance to avoid safety accidents. It can realize the flaw detection and length counting functions of the wire rope and know the physical condition of the wire rope in real time. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0046] This invention provides an automatic wire rope coiling machine, such as... Figures 1 to 13 As shown.

[0047] An automatic wire rope coiling machine includes a torque release device 1, a tension adjustment device 2, and a rope coil docking device. The torque release device 1 includes a base, a placement plate 13 and a guide column 11 placed on the base 15. The bottom of the guide column 11 is fitted with a bearing device 14 and rotates with the base 15. The placement plate 13 is fitted on the outside of the main column 11 and placed above the bearing device 14.

[0048] This torque release device can release the torque generated during the winding process of the wire rope, preventing the wire rope from twisting and causing the rope reel to become disordered, or even causing whipping of the workers. The guide post 11 is designed to facilitate the placement of the wire rope. The bearing device 14 uses a thrust bearing set on the guide post 11 and is located at the lower end of the placement plate 13, which can ensure that the wire rope rotates smoothly during the winding operation and prevent the wire rope from self-winding.

[0049] The tension adjustment device 2 includes a fixed frame 21 and a guide arm 27 and a hinged swing arm 25 spaced above the fixed frame 21. The guide arm 27 is horizontally fixed on the fixed frame 21 and a first guide roller 24 is rotatably mounted above it. In this embodiment, there are two first guide rollers 24. The hinged swing arm 25 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 21 and has a height-adjustable fixed guide wheel 22 at its left end, while a rotatable second guide roller 28 is fixed at its right end and the right end is connected to the guide arm 27 through a return spring 26.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first guide roller 24 and the second guide roller 28 are three deep-grooved rollers equipped with bearings, used for limiting and guiding the wire rope during the winding process. The fixed guide roller 22 is a deep-grooved fixed roller that cannot perform circular motion, and its position is controlled by the adjusting handle 23. When the wire rope passes through this device, if it travels too fast, it will cause the hinged swing arm 25 to swing frequently, thereby driving the pressure roller to move downward, increasing the friction on the wire rope to slow its speed and achieve the purpose of adjusting the tension.

[0051] The rope reel docking device 9 includes a movable frame 91, a rope reel positioning mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The rope reel positioning mechanism is fixed inside the movable frame 91 and is configured as a gently sloping rope reel track 99. The end of the rope reel track 99 is provided with a positioning groove for limiting the position of the rope reel.

[0052] The lifting mechanism 98 is mounted on the movable frames 91 on both sides of the rope reel track 99, and each of them has a U-shaped support groove 911 at its top for supporting the rope reel shaft 61.

[0053] The transmission mechanism is mounted on the upper end of the movable frame and its shaft extension end is equipped with a transmission plum blossom shaft 95. The lifting mechanism is also fixed with a corresponding positioning plum blossom shaft 96 on the outer side of the U-shaped bracket 911 on the opposite side.

[0054] When the rope take-up reel 62 moves along the rope reel track 99 to the positioning groove, the lifting mechanism 98 lifts and the U-shaped support groove 911 lifts the rope take-up reel shaft 61 and drives the rope take-up reel 62 to be lifted synchronously to the coaxial position with the transmission mechanism. At this time, the photoelectric switch is triggered, the lifting mechanism stops moving, and then the transmission mechanism drives the transmission plum blossom shaft 95 to cooperate with the positioning plum blossom shaft 96 for positioning.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the rope take-up reel 62 is placed in the positioning groove, it can be ensured that when the U-shaped brackets at both ends rise, they can accurately enter the chuck shaft 10 to drive the rope take-up reel 62 to perform a lifting action. When it is lifted to the position where the rope take-up reel shaft 61 is concentric with the transmission mechanism motor shaft, the photoelectric switch will issue a stop lifting command. Then, the translation motor 93 drives the rotary motor 94 to move inward along the axial direction. When the transmission plum blossom shaft and the positioning plum blossom shaft are accurately positioned, the action stops.

[0056] Between the rope reel docking device 9 and the tension adjusting device 2, there is also a rope entry guide roller 3, a wire pressing mechanism 4 and a wire laying mechanism 5 located at its rear end. The wire pressing mechanism 4 is vertically adjustable, and a rear guide roller 7, which is vertically arranged behind the wire pressing mechanism, is used to straighten the direction of the wire rope.

[0057] In this embodiment, the wire pressing mechanism 4 includes a pressing wheel bracket 41 and a pressing wheel 42 disposed within the pressing wheel bracket 41. The pressing wheel bracket 41 also includes an auxiliary bracket 43 and a lifting screw 44. The bottom end of the lifting screw 44 is fixed to the upper surface of the auxiliary bracket 43, and its other end passes through the pressing wheel bracket 41 and is locked by a nut. Symmetrical long key holes are also provided on the lower side walls of the pressing wheel bracket 41. The two ends of the pressing wheel 42 pass sequentially through the long key holes of the auxiliary bracket 43 and the pressing wheel bracket 41, and are fixed by locking bolts on the outer side. The pressing wheel 42 is vertically adjustable by adjusting the height of the lifting screw 44. When the wire rope passes through the pressing mechanism 4, it is elastically pressed, causing the wire rope to bend to a certain extent, thereby creating tension and preventing the wire rope from running or piling up during storage.

[0058] The wire laying mechanism 5 includes a support column 56 and a forward and reverse lead screw 52 mounted on the support column 56. A slider 59 is movably mounted on the forward and reverse lead screw 52, ​​and the lower end of the slider 59 is limited by a limiting rod 57 fixed to the support column 56 at corresponding intervals. In this embodiment, the lower end of the slider 59 is matched with the limiting rod 57 through a linear bearing. A guide roller group 53 is also fixed on the slider 59, and the guide roller group 53 moves synchronously with the slider 59. The right connecting shaft 55 of the forward and reverse lead screw 52 is connected to the wire laying motor. Under the action of the wire laying motor, the slider 59 can perform left and right translation operations on the forward and reverse lead screw 52 to complete the orderly storage of the wire rope. The guide roller group 53 includes two vertical guide rollers arranged at intervals and a horizontal guide roller located at the rear end of the two vertical guide rollers. The wire rope passes through the two vertical guide rollers arranged at intervals to straighten the direction of the wire rope.

[0059] The take-up mechanism 6 includes a take-up reel 62, a take-up reel shaft 61, and chucks 63 and positioning clamps 64 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the take-up reel 62. The take-up reel 62 is rotatably connected to the take-up reel shaft 61 via the chucks 63. The positioning clamps 64 are correspondingly located outside the chucks 63 and are detachably installed on the take-up reel shaft 61 to clamp or loosen it. When the positioning clamps 64 clamp the take-up reel shaft 61, the transmission mechanism drives the take-up reel shaft 61 to rotate and synchronously drives the take-up reel 62 to rotate for take-up operations. In this embodiment, the chuck 63 is a cross chuck, and the take-up reel 62 has various specifications. When taking up wire ropes of different specifications, the corresponding specifications of the take-up reel can be selected. The cross chucks and positioning clamps 64 are distributed at both ends of the take-up reel 62 to drive the rotation of the take-up reel. The positioning clamps are designed to be assembled, ensuring that the rope reels are distributed in the middle position of the take-up reel shaft when different specifications of rope reels are used, which facilitates the routing of the wire by the wire guide.

[0060] A flaw detection mechanism 8 is also provided between the pressing mechanism 4 and the rear guide roller 7, and a length counting device 81 is provided at the rear of the flaw detection mechanism 8, so that the flaw detector has a length counting function. The flaw detection mechanism 8 adopts a non-destructive testing flaw detector, and an input guide roller is also provided at the front end of the non-destructive testing flaw detector. The working principle of the non-destructive testing flaw detector is as follows: the sensing hardware uses high magnetic energy rare earth neodymium iron boron permanent magnets arranged in a circular ring. When the wire rope passes through axially, it can instantly magnetize the wire rope axially and reach a saturation state. At the same time, an array of Hall elements is distributed in the magnetic focusing component. When the wire rope is damaged locally (discontinuous defects, such as broken wires, skipped wires, deformation, etc.) or the cross-sectional area of ​​the metal changes (continuous defects, wear, corrosion, etc.), the leakage magnetic field and the combined magnetic flux change are generated synchronously. The signal diffused into space is collected and the Hall element senses and outputs a signal. After analog-to-digital conversion by a high-performance microprocessor, the compressed digital signal is input into a computer. After processing by a dedicated system, the physical state of the wire rope can be known in real time.

[0061] In this embodiment, the rear guide roller 7 includes two spaced vertical guide rollers and a horizontal guide roller located at the front end of the two vertical guide rollers; it is mainly used to straighten the direction of the wire rope, control the straightness deviation of this section of the wire rope, and enhance the stability of the tensioning mechanism and the flaw detection mechanism during operation.

[0062] The positioning clamp includes an upper clamp 641 and a lower clamp 642 that are correspondingly fastened. One end of the upper clamp 641 and the lower clamp 642 are hinged, and the other end is detachably connected by a bolt structure. In this embodiment, the bolt structure uses a wing nut 644 and a rotating stud 645 that are fitted together. Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the chuck is in both open and closed states. The chuck mainly consists of an upper clamp 641, a positioning pin 642, a rotating stud 645, and a lower clamp 642. One end of the upper clamp 641 is hinged to one end of the lower clamp 642 by a bolt, and the other end is locked to the other end of the lower clamp by a wing nut 644 and a rotating stud 645, thereby clamping the take-up reel shaft. This allows the take-up reel shaft to rotate during its rotation, thus completing the take-up operation.

[0063] The mobile frame is equipped with rollers at its bottom and its ground clearance is controlled by a hydraulic lifting device. In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement and positioning of the rope coiling machine within the warehouse, four sets of hydraulic outriggers are designed for auxiliary positioning. The hydraulic outriggers on both sides of the rear end (rope coil end) are designed with casters 914 for easy steering and precise positioning of the equipment. The two sets of hydraulic outriggers at the other end are directional wheels for auxiliary movement. The hydraulic outriggers consist of hydraulic cylinders 911, protective supports 912, roller frames 913, and casters 914. The ground clearance of the mobile frame 91 is controlled by raising and lowering the hydraulic cylinders. The protective supports 912 ensure more stable force on the hydraulic push rods. The equipment is manually pushed to achieve precise movement and positioning within the site, resulting in a high degree of automation in the positioning, docking, and rotation of the wire rope coils, making rope coiling more efficient.

[0064] The technical principle of this invention is as follows:

[0065] The rope coiling machine is composed of a combination of various mechanisms, including a torque release mechanism, a tension holding mechanism, a rope coiling mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a shifting mechanism, a detection module, and an electrical control system. During operation, bundles of wire rope are placed on the torque release mechanism, and the rope ends are led out. The rope ends then pass through the tension holding mechanism, the wire pressing mechanism, the flaw detection device, the length counting device, and the rope laying mechanism in sequence, fixing the wire rope ends at a predetermined position on the rope reel. The rotation of the rope reel is driven by a hydraulic motor to collect the wire rope. If any damage to the wire rope occurs during operation, the flaw detection device will issue an alarm and send a feedback to the control system to execute a stop command. Then, the operator will manually determine whether the wire rope can be collected.

[0066] The specific steps are as follows:

[0067] First, place the wire rope to be coiled on the torque release device 1. Pass one end of the wire rope through the tension holding mechanism 2. This device maintains the tension of the wire rope during the coiling process, preventing it from becoming loose. Then, pass the rope end sequentially through the rope guide roller 3, the wire pressing mechanism 4, the flaw detection device 8, and the length measuring device 81. Finally, the wire rope is wound into the take-up reel 62 via the rear guide roller 7 and the wire laying mechanism 5 for fixation. After confirming that the wire rope is securely wound and fixed, check the condition of the wire rope at each device. Once confirmed to be correct, operate the control panel 913 to control the rotation of the take-up reel for the take-up operation. Before stopping the machine, ensure that the remaining length of the wire rope is sufficient to prevent the wire rope end from damaging other devices. In addition, the rope reel docking device 9 is designed with four hydraulic rollers for easy relocation within the site.
