DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 , and further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention through specific implementation methods.

[0022] The present invention provides a real-time size monitoring system for steel wire rope production, comprising a base 3, on which two symmetrically arranged monitoring parts and two mutually perpendicularly arranged supporting parts are fixedly installed; wherein the monitoring part comprises a monitoring support plate 101, on which a monitoring slide bar 107 and a conductive slider support bar 105 are slidably installed through a spline, and one end of the conductive slider support bar 105 is fixedly installed with a contact conductive slider 104 that is in sliding contact with the steel wire, and the contact conductive sliders 104 in the two monitoring parts need to be symmetrically arranged on the circumferential surface of the steel wire, and permanent magnets 103 are provided on both upper and lower sides of the symmetry plane of the two contact conductive sliders 104; wherein one end of the monitoring slide bar 107 is fixedly installed with an extrusion support plate 109, on which a contact roller bracket 108 is slidably installed, and on which a contact roller 102 is rotatably installed, and the contact roller 102 is in rolling cooperation with the surface of the steel wire. Two sliding pins 110 are symmetrically fixed on the contact roller bracket 108, and the sliding pins 110 are slidably matched with the extrusion support plate 109, and each sliding pin 110 is also fixed with a limit ring 113 for limiting the extrusion support plate 109, and a force-sensitive resistor 114 is arranged between the opposite surfaces of the contact roller bracket 108 and the extrusion support plate 109. A second spring 112 is arranged around the monitoring slide bar 107, one end of which is fixed to the monitoring support plate 101, and the other end of the second spring 112 is fixed to the extrusion support plate 109 through the second spring top plate 111, and a first spring 106 is arranged around the conductive slider support bar 105, and the two ends of the first spring 106 are respectively fixed to the conductive slider support bar 105 and the monitoring support plate 101. The support part includes two support rollers 202 arranged in parallel, the support rollers 202 are rotatably mounted on the support roller brackets 203, the two ends of the support roller brackets 203 are slidably mounted on the two support slide bars 201, the support slide bars 201 are fixed on the base 3, a rack frame 206 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the support slide bar 201, and a gear 205 is rotatably mounted on the rack frame 206. Two racks 204 symmetrical about the center of the circle of the gear 205 are also slidably mounted on each rack frame 206, the racks 204 are fixedly matched with the corresponding support roller brackets 203, and the racks 204 are rotatably matched with the support rollers 202. The support part also includes a support motor 209, a planetary reduction box 208 is fixedly mounted on the housing of the support motor 209, the input shaft of the planetary reduction box 208 is fixed to the output shaft of the support motor 209, a transmission shaft 210 that rotates with the monitoring support plate 101 is fixed on the output shaft of the planetary reduction box 208, and the transmission shaft 210 is connected to the gear 205 through a toothed belt transmission mechanism 207. The force-sensitive resistor 114, the adjustable resistor R2 and the fixed resistor R1 in the two monitoring parts are arranged in series between the two poles of the DC power supply, and a voltmeter is arranged in parallel at both ends of each force-sensitive resistor 114 to monitor the displacement of the contact roller 102 in the corresponding monitoring part.The two ends of the force-sensitive resistor 114 in the two monitoring parts arranged in series are used to provide a positive bias voltage to the base and emitter of the NPN transistor. The collector and emitter of the NPN transistor and the relay are arranged in series at the two ends of another DC power supply, where the relay is used to control the rotation of the motor of the traction wire mechanism.

[0023] The working principle of a real-time size monitoring system for wire rope production disclosed in the present invention is as follows: the steel wire is passed through the contact roller 102 and the support roller 202 in the two support parts and the monitoring part, and then the support motor 209 in the two support parts is started, and the output shaft of the support motor 209 drives the transmission shaft 210 to rotate through the planetary reduction box 208 (a self-locking mechanism, such as a worm gear mechanism, is arranged in the planetary reduction box 208), and the transmission shaft 210 drives the gear 205 to rotate through the toothed belt transmission mechanism 207, and the gear 205 drives the two racks 204 to move relative to each other, thereby driving the support rollers 202 to move relative to each other, and the two support rollers 202 clamp the steel wire, and the steel wire is clamped and positioned by two mutually perpendicular support parts.

[0024] The monitoring support plate 101 in the monitoring part can be fixed on the base 3 or slidably installed on the base 3. However, if it is slidably installed on the base 3, a positioning device is required. For example, a screw rod drives the monitoring support plate 101 to slide on the base 3 to adjust the distance between the two monitoring parts. Therefore, the positional relationship between the monitoring support plate 101 and the base 3 needs to be fixed, and the screw rod transmission is also a fixed relationship when the screw rod does not rotate.

[0025] The steel wire moves between the two contact rollers 102, and the contact roller 102 is always in contact with the surface of the steel wire under the action of the second spring 112. Therefore, when the diameter of the steel wire changes, the distance between the contact roller 102 and the axis of the steel wire will also change. At the same time, the compression of the second spring 112 will also change. The change in the compression of the second spring 112 will cause the pressure on the force-sensitive resistor 114 to change (decrease). At this time, the voltage divided at both ends of the force-sensitive resistor 114 will also increase accordingly (the resistance value will increase). The change in size can be known through the corresponding voltmeter reading. Since the axis of the steel wire is not necessarily in the ideal position, there will definitely be deviations. Therefore, the two contact rollers 102 are set independently, and then the displacements of the two contact rollers 102 are superimposed to obtain the diameter of the steel wire. Therefore, it is necessary to set the two force-sensitive resistors 114 in series so that their resistance values ​​are superimposed. When the sum of their resistance values ​​is greater than the set value (this needs to be set according to the theoretical diameter of the monitored steel wire, and adjusted by the adjustable resistor R2 (or changing the spacing between the two monitoring support plates 101), changing the voltage threshold at both ends of the two series-set force-sensitive resistors 114), the two second springs 112 are compressed at the beginning, and the force-sensitive resistor 114 is subjected to the pressure of the second springs 112. When the diameter of the steel wire decreases, the compression of the second spring 112 decreases. The pressure on the force-sensitive resistor 114 decreases, the resistance increases, and the potential difference across the two force-sensitive resistors 114 increases to be greater than 0.7V, which can provide a trigger voltage to the base and emitter of the NPN transistor, so that the collector and emitter of the NPN transistor are turned on. At this time, the relay is energized, and the normally open contact of the relay can be connected to the alarm. The normally closed contact of the relay is connected to the traction motor that controls the movement of the steel wire. When the relay is energized, the normally closed contact opens, and the traction motor no longer works. At this time, it can be known that the diameter of the steel wire at this point is unqualified.

[0026] When the steel wire moves, it will continuously slide with the contact conductive slider 104, and at the same time, the steel wire will vertically pass through the magnetic field formed by the two permanent magnets 103 (the two permanent magnets 103 have fixed positions, and the supporting plate frame is hidden in the figure for the convenience of display). The steel wire, as a conductor, will cut the magnetic flux lines of the permanent magnets 103, thereby generating an induced electromotive force, and the induced current is led out through the two contact conductive sliders 104. The size of the induced electromotive force is related to the moving speed of the steel wire. Therefore, the moving speed of the steel wire can be determined, and the moving distance of the steel wire can be known by combining with the time, thereby determining how much length of the steel wire has been monitored.

[0027] As time goes by, the elasticity of the second spring 112 will decrease. Since the pressure of the force-sensitive resistor 114 depends on the elastic force of the second spring 112, it is very important to maintain the elastic performance of the second spring 112. The elastic force of the second spring 112 will decrease, but the deformation will not change. Therefore, the deformation of the second spring 112 can also be calculated by detecting the inductance of the second spring 112. This is because when the spring is stretched or compressed, the effective length of the coil will change. According to the formula, the inductance is inversely proportional to the coil length, so the change in length will directly affect the inductance (the change in the number of turns density will affect the magnetic flux density, thereby affecting the inductance). Therefore, when the displacement of the contact roller 102 obtained by measuring the inductance of the second spring 112 is different from the displacement obtained by measuring the resistance of the force-sensitive resistor 114, the second spring 112 needs to be inspected and replaced, which can effectively ensure that there will be no loopholes in the detection process of the wire diameter.
