A cable conveyor

Abstract

The present invention discloses a cable conveyor, comprising a base, a conveying mechanism, a gap adjustment mechanism and a detection and compensation mechanism. The conveying mechanism comprises two groups of crawler conveying units. A conveying channel for conveying cables is reserved between the crawlers of the two groups of crawler conveying units. The gap adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the width of the conveying channel. The detection and compensation mechanism is used to detect the degree of wear of the extrusion blocks on the conveying mechanism and compensate for the worn extrusion blocks so that the extrusion surface of the worn extrusion blocks is on the same plane as the extrusion surface of the normal extrusion blocks. By setting the detection and compensation mechanism, the present invention can monitor the degree of wear of the extrusion blocks on the conveying mechanism in real time and dynamically compensate for the worn extrusion blocks to ensure that the extrusion surfaces of all the extrusion blocks are always on the same plane. This not only avoids the problem of cable slippage and wear caused by defects in the extrusion blocks, but also significantly improves the safety and stability during cable transportation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable conveyors, in particular to a cable conveyor. Background Art

[0002] As the scale of urban power grids continues to expand, the traditional manual cable laying method can no longer meet construction requirements. In order to reduce the labor intensity of cable laying and ensure construction quality, cable conveyors for pulling cables have appeared in the prior art.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN218931275U discloses a cable conveyor including a frame, a motor is provided on the lower surface of the frame, a conveying track is provided on the upper surface of the frame, a protective cover is provided on the outer surface of the conveying track, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, a wire clamping roller is inserted on the outer surface of the support plate, a rotating rod is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, an extension frame is provided on the outer surface of the frame, a bolt is threadedly connected to the bottom of the extension frame, a support rod is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the extension frame through the bolt, and a positioning clamp is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod.

[0004] When the above-mentioned cable conveyor is in use, the motor is started to drive the conveyor belt to operate. When the cable passes through the wire clamping rollers and is transported by the conveyor belt, the cable may be bent due to the height difference with the ground. Therefore, the staff can rotate the rotating rod, pull out the extension frame to suspend it to the outside of the frame, and support the positioning clamp on the lower surface of the cable through the support rod to provide extended auxiliary support for the cable during transportation, thereby preventing bending damage to the outside of the cable and increasing the effect of safe cable guidance.

[0005] However, in actual use, the above cable conveyor still has some defects:

[0006] For example, after the crawler has been used for a period of time, due to wear and other reasons, the extrusion block in a certain part of the crawler will be lower than other extrusion blocks. This may cause the defective crawler to slip due to insufficient clamping force when conveying cables. When the slip is severe, it will cause great wear on the cable surface. However, the existing cable conveyor does not have the function of detecting and compensating whether there are defects in the extrusion blocks on the crawler.

[0053] Example

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a cable conveyor, including a base 1, a gap adjustment mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a guiding mechanism 4 and a detection and compensation mechanism 5.

[0055] Among them, the conveying mechanism 3 includes two sets of crawler conveying units, and a conveying channel for conveying cables is reserved between the crawlers of the two sets of crawler conveying units. When the two sets of crawler conveying units rotate, the extrusion blocks 305 on the two sets of crawler conveying units clamp the surface of the cable for conveying;

[0056] The gap adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the width of the conveying channel;

[0057] There are two sets of guide mechanisms 4, which are respectively arranged at the feed port and the discharge port of the conveying mechanism 3;

[0058] The detection and compensation mechanism 5 is used to detect the wear degree of the extrusion block 305 on the conveying mechanism 3 and compensate for the worn extrusion block 305 so that the extrusion surface of the worn extrusion block 305 is on the same plane as the extrusion surface of the normal extrusion block 305 .

[0059] In this embodiment, the gap adjustment mechanism 2 includes a vertical plate 201. There are two vertical plates 201, which are fixedly connected to the two sides of the top of the base 1 respectively. A screw rod 204 and a first guide column 206 are rotatably connected between the two vertical plates 201. Both ends of the screw rod 204 are provided with a moving seat 202. The bottom of the moving seat 202 is fixedly connected with a nut 203. The nut 203 is threadedly rotatably connected to the screw rod 204. The threads at both ends of the screw rod 204 are arranged in opposite directions. The bottom of the moving seat 202 is fixedly connected with a first sliding sleeve 205. The first sliding sleeve 205 is slidably sleeved on the first guide column 206. A hexagonal step is provided at one end of the screw rod 204.

[0060] By setting up the gap adjustment mechanism 2, when it is necessary to adjust the width of the conveying channel during use, it is only necessary to use a tool to clamp on the hexagonal step of the screw rod 204, and then rotate the screw rod 204. When the screw rod 204 is rotated clockwise, the width of the conveying channel can be increased. Conversely, when the screw rod 204 is rotated counterclockwise, the width of the conveying channel is reduced, thereby adapting to the conveying work of cables of different sizes.

[0061] In this embodiment, the two sets of crawler conveyor units each include two rotating shafts 301, and the two rotating shafts 301 are rotatably connected to the moving seat 202. The upper and lower ends of the two rotating shafts 301 are fixedly connected with sprockets 302. The two sprockets 302 located at the same height are connected by a chain 303 for transmission. An extrusion block 305 is arranged between the two chains 303. A motor 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving seat 202, and the rotating shaft of the motor 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 301. A protective cover 306 is fixedly installed on the top of the moving seat 202, and the chain 303 is located on the inner side of the protective cover 306.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, by controlling the rotation shaft of the motor 304 to rotate, the extrusion block 305 is driven to rotate through the chain 303, and the rotating extrusion block 305 can achieve the function of clamping and conveying the surface of the cable.

[0063] In this embodiment, the detection and compensation mechanism 5 includes a connecting plate 501, an electric linear module 509 and a PLC controller. The connecting plate 501 is fixed on the chain plate of the chain 303. A support plate 502 is fixedly connected between the connecting plates 501 on the two chains 303. A mounting plate 503 is provided on one side of the support plate 502. The extrusion block 305 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 503 by bolts. A rack 507 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 503 away from the extrusion block 305. One end of the rack 507 slides through the support plate 502 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 504. A guide rod 505 is fixedly connected between the push plate 504 and the mounting plate 503. The guide rod 505 slides through the support plate 502. A first spring 506 is sleeved on the guide rod 505. One end of the first spring 506 abuts against one side of the push plate 504, and the other end of the first spring 506 abuts against one side of the support plate 502.

[0064] The support plate 502 is provided with a limiting mechanism 508 for locking the position of the mounting plate 503;

[0065] The limiting mechanism 508 includes a second sliding sleeve 5081, which is fixed to a side of the support plate 502 away from the extrusion block 305. A second guide column 5082 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the second sliding sleeve 5081. A cross plate 5083 is fixedly connected to the top of the second guide column 5082. A latching tooth 5084 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross plate 5083. The latching tooth 5084 can be inserted into the tooth groove 5071 of the rack 507. A guide inclined surface is provided on one side of the lower end of the latching tooth 5084 and an inner wall on one side of the tooth groove 5071. A guide inclined surface is provided on the other side of the lower end of the latching tooth 5084 and an inner wall on the other side of the tooth groove 5071. Both the vertical surface and the vertical surface can effectively prevent the extrusion block 305 from being squeezed. When the push plate 504 is forced to move toward the support plate 502, the latching teeth 5084 can be pressed out of the tooth groove 5071 under the guidance of the guide slope, so that the push plate 504 can move toward the support plate 502, and then the defective extrusion block 305 is driven to move away from the support plate 502 through the mounting plate 503, so as to compensate for the defective extrusion block 305. After the compensation is completed, the extrusion of the push plate 504 is terminated, and the latching teeth 5084 are re-engaged in the tooth groove 5071 under the state of self-weight.

[0066] In order to further improve the stability, the limiting mechanism 508 further includes a second spring 5085. The bottom of the second guide column 5082 is fixedly connected with a baffle 5086. The second spring 5085 is sleeved on the lower end of the second guide column 5082. The top of the second spring 5085 is against the bottom of the second sliding sleeve 5081. The bottom of the second spring 5085 is pressed against the top of the baffle 5086.

[0067] The electric linear module 509 is fixed on the top of the moving seat 202. The electric linear module 509 is located on the inner side of the chain 303. An electric push rod 510 is fixedly installed on the slide of the electric linear module 509. A laser ranging sensor 511 for monitoring the wear of the extrusion block 305 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 306. The laser ranging sensor 511 is arranged on the side of the protective cover 306 away from the conveying channel. The PLC controller is fixedly installed on the bottom of the moving seat 202. The laser ranging sensor 511 is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC controller. The motor 304, the electric linear module 509 and the electric push rod 510 are all controlled by the PLC controller.

[0068] There is no requirement for the specific models of the laser ranging sensor 511 and the PLC controller, as long as they can meet the design requirements of the present invention.

[0069] By adopting the above technical solution, when the laser ranging sensor 511 detects that the wear degree of a certain extrusion block 305 exceeds the set threshold, the PLC controller controls the electric linear module 509 to drive the electric push rod 510 to move, so that the electric push rod 510 and the worn extrusion block 305 are in a relatively static state, and then controls the piston rod of the electric push rod 510 to extend, and squeezes the push plate 504 corresponding to the worn extrusion block 305, so that the push plate 504 can move in the direction close to the support plate 502, thereby The defective extrusion block 305 is driven by the mounting plate 503 to move away from the support plate 502, thereby realizing the operation of compensating the defective extrusion block 305. After the compensation is completed, the PLC controls the piston rod of the electric push rod 510 to reset, and at the same time controls the electric linear module 509 to drive the electric push rod 510 to reset. At this time, the locking tooth 5084 is re-engaged in the tooth groove 5071 under its own weight and the elastic force of the second spring 5085, completing the locking of the extrusion block 305, thereby completing the dynamic compensation operation of the worn extrusion block 305.

[0070] In this embodiment, the guide mechanism 4 includes two vertical poles 401, and a plurality of limiting holes 4001 and moving holes 4002 are opened on the side of the vertical poles 401. The limiting holes 4001 are connected with the moving holes 4002, and the limiting holes 4001 and the moving holes 4002 are arranged alternately. A guide roller 402 is arranged between the two vertical poles 401, and both ends of the guide roller 402 are opened with thread grooves. Both ends of the guide roller 402 are provided with handle bolts 403, one end of the handle bolt 403 passes through the limiting hole 4001 and is threadedly installed in the thread groove, and the handle bolt 403 is fixedly connected to the limiting protrusion 4 near the side of its thread column 04, the limiting protrusion 404 can be stuck in the limiting hole 4001, the diameter of the limiting protrusion 404 is larger than the inner diameter of the moving hole 4002, the diameter of the limiting protrusion 404 is the same as the inner diameter of the limiting hole 4001, the stud diameter of the handle bolt 403 is smaller than the inner diameter of the moving hole 4002, when the handle bolt 403 is threadedly fixed on the guide roller 402, the limiting protrusion 404 is stuck in the limiting hole 4001, when the handle bolt 403 is loosened, when the limiting protrusion 404 is screwed out of the limiting hole 4001, the stud of the handle bolt 403 is still in the thread groove, at this time, the height of the guide roller 402 can be adjusted.

[0071] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the guide roller 402, it is only necessary to loosen the handle bolt 403 so that the limiting protrusion 404 is screwed out from the limiting hole 4001, and the stud of the handle bolt 403 is still in the thread groove. Since the diameter of the stud is smaller than the inner diameter of the movable hole 4002, the height of the guide roller 402 can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the height of the handle bolt 403. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the handle bolt 403 again so that the limiting protrusion 404 is screwed back into the limiting hole 4001. This operation can effectively avoid the separation of the handle bolt 403 and the guide roller 402 when adjusting the height, and improve the operating efficiency.

[0072] In order to adapt to different terrains, the four corners of the base 1 are threadedly connected with a screw 102, the bottom ball joint of the guide roller 402 is connected to a support block 103, and the upper end of the screw 102 is fixedly connected with a rotating handle 104. Through this arrangement, the height and angle of the four corners of the base 1 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating handle 104 on uneven ground to meet the transportation requirements.

[0073] In this embodiment, moving wheels 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. The moving wheels 101 arranged at the bottom of the base 1 enable the cable conveyor to be easily moved between different work locations, thereby improving the portability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0074] The working process of the cable conveyor provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] S1. Equipment preparation and adjustment:

[0076] Make sure that the cable conveyor is placed on a stable working surface. If the ground is uneven, the height and angle of the screw rod 102 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating handles 104 at the four corners of the base 1 to keep the device stable.

[0077] The cable conveyor is moved to a desired working location using the moving wheels 101 .

[0078] According to the diameter of the cable, the width of the conveying channel is adjusted by the gap adjustment mechanism 2. The screw rod 204 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to make the moving seat 202 slide along the first guide column 206, thereby changing the distance between the two crawler conveying units.

[0079] S2. Guiding mechanism setting:

[0080] According to the conveying direction of the cable, adjust the guide mechanism 4 at the feed port and the discharge port. By loosening the handle bolt 403, adjust the height of the guide roller 402 to match the conveying path of the cable. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the handle bolt 403 to make the limiting protrusion 404 snap into the limiting hole 4001.

[0081] S3. Cable transportation:

[0082] The motor 304 is started, and the rotating shaft of the motor 304 drives the rotating shaft 301 to rotate, and then drives the squeezing block 305 to rotate through the chain 303. The rotating squeezing block 305 clamps and conveys the cable surface.

[0083] The cable is continuously conveyed in the conveying channel of the crawler conveyor unit until it reaches the destination.

[0084] S4. Wear detection and compensation:

[0085] During the conveying process, the laser distance sensor 511 continuously monitors the wear degree of the extrusion block 305 .

[0086] When the wear degree of a certain extrusion block 305 exceeds a set threshold, the PLC controller receives a signal and controls the electric linear module 509 to move, so that the electric push rod 510 and the worn extrusion block 305 are relatively stationary.

[0087] The PLC controller controls the piston rod of the electric push rod 510 to extend, and squeezes the push plate 504 corresponding to the worn squeeze block 305. The push plate 504 moves toward the support plate 502, and drives the defective squeeze block 305 to move away from the support plate 502 through the mounting plate 503, so as to achieve compensation.

[0088] After the compensation is completed, the PLC controller controls the piston rod of the electric push rod 510 to reset, and controls the electric linear module 509 to drive the electric push rod 510 to reset.
