[0016] The method for using the composite cable defect monitoring device comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: First, place the composite cable between the clamping rings through the opening between the clamping rings, and then press the support block downward through the composite cable, so that the support block drops into the support hole and releases the support for the clamping ring;

A connecting groove 23 is provided at the lower end of the clamping ring 21, a joint groove 24 is provided on the groove wall of the connecting groove 23, and a mounting groove 25 is provided at the top of the clamping ring 21;

[0035] The moving mechanism includes a tapered roller 31, which is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 25 through a rotating shaft. A fixing groove 32 is provided on the tapered roller 31, and a fixing hole 33 is provided through the groove wall of one of the fixing grooves 32. One end of the fixing hole 33 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the other end of the fixing hole 33 is communicated with the fixing groove 32. A fixing rod 34 is provided in the fixing hole 33, and one end of the fixing rod 34 is fixedly connected to the clamping ring 21, and the other end of the fixing rod 34 extends into the fixing groove 32 and is fixedly installed with a driving motor 35. A rubber driving wheel 36 is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor 35 through a coupling, and an annular tooth pattern 38 is fixedly installed on one of the tapered rollers 31, and an annular tooth pattern groove 37 is provided on the other tapered roller 31, and the annular tooth pattern 38 is meshed with the annular tooth pattern groove 37;

[0036] The supporting mechanism includes a supporting hole 41, which is opened through the mounting seat 11. A supporting block 42 is slidably connected in the supporting hole 41. A connecting block 43 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the supporting block 42. Joints 44 are fixedly installed on the two opposite outer walls of the connecting block 43. An audible and visual alarm 45 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting block 43.

[0038] Among them, a sliding groove 46 is opened on the hole wall of the support hole 41, and a slider 47 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 46.

The two ends of the second spring 410 are respectively abutted against the bottom groove wall of the sliding groove 46 and the lower surface of the slider 47. The support block 42 is limited by the sliding groove 46 and the slider 47 so that it can only be lifted and lowered within a certain range, thereby preventing it from detaching and affecting its support for the clamping ring 21. At the same time, the slider 47 and the support block 42 are supported by the second spring 410, so that the support block 42 maintains a height to support the clamping ring 21.

[0039] Among them, the rubber driving wheel 36 is slightly larger than the other fixed groove 32. The rubber driving wheel 36 is made of rubber material and can shrink, so that the rubber driving wheel 36 can be squeezed into the other fixed groove 32 and abut against its inner wall, so that the driving motor 35 drives the rubber driving wheel 36 to rotate. The rubber driving wheel 36 can drive the conical roller 31 to rotate by abutting against the groove wall of the other fixed groove 32.

[0040] The width of the support block 42 is greater than the slot of the connection slot 23 , so that the support block 42 will not sink into the connection slot 23 when supporting the clamping ring 21 .

[0041] Among them, the upper end of the moving block 14 passes through the moving hole 13 and extends to the outside of the mounting seat 11. The end of the moving block 14 located outside the mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the clamping ring 21. The moving hole 13 limits the clamping ring 21 through the moving block 14, so that the moving block 14 and the clamping ring 21 can only move within the range of the moving hole 13.

[0042] The first spring 15 is sleeved on the rod wall of the limiting rod 16 , and the limiting rod 16 supports the first spring 15 , so that the first spring 15 can be extended or contracted along the limiting rod 16 , thereby avoiding the first spring 15 from being deviated and causing damage.

[0043] The method for using the composite cable defect monitoring device comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: First, place the composite cable between the clamping rings 21 through the opening between the clamping rings 21, and then press the support block 42 downward through the composite cable, so that the support block 42 drops into the support hole 41 and releases the support for the clamping rings 21;

[0045] Step 2: At this time, the first spring 15 will push the moving block 14 to move, and the moving block 14 will drive the clamping ring 21 to move synchronously, and the clamping ring 21 will merge to form a complete ring and be mounted on the composite cable;

[0046] Step 3: When the clamping ring 21 is combined, the two conical rollers 31 are driven to abut against each other, and the conical roller 31 drives the annular tooth pattern 38 to mesh with the annular tooth pattern groove 37, and at the same time, the rubber driving wheel 36 can be inserted into the other fixed groove 32 through the contraction of the rubber;

[0047] Step 4: When the support block 42 is lowered into the support hole 41 , the connection block 43 will be located outside the mounting seat 11 , and when the clamping ring 21 is combined, the connection groove 23 will be sleeved on the connection block 43 , and the connector 44 will be inserted into the connector groove 24 ;

[0048] Step 5: After that, you can let go of the device, and the device will drop under the weight of the mounting base 11, and the composite cable will be placed in the middle depression of the two conical rollers 31. Then, you can start the drive motor 35 to drive the rubber drive wheel 36 to rotate, and the rubber drive wheel 36 drives the conical roller 31 by abutting against the fixed groove 32, and the conical roller 31 drives the other conical roller 31 through the engagement of the annular tooth pattern 38 and the annular tooth pattern groove 37, so that the two conical rollers 31 roll synchronously on the composite cable and drive the device as a whole to move on the composite cable;

[0049] Step 6: The clamping ring 21 monitors the composite cable through the infrared optical detector 22 during the movement. When the infrared optical detector 22 detects that the composite cable is damaged, it transmits the signal to the drive motor 35 through the internal cable to stop its operation, and the connection between the connector 44 and the connector slot 24 transmits the signal to the sound and light alarm 45 for sound and light alarm, thereby facilitating the monitoring personnel to know the location and take action.
