Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of special equipment detection, and in particular relates to an elevator wire rope tensioning force detector. Background Art
[0002] Elevator wire rope is an important component used in elevators, mainly used for load bearing and power transmission. During the transmission process of the elevator, the traction wire rope and the wheel groove will inevitably be worn. If the wear degree of multiple wire ropes is different, it will be difficult to ensure the stability of the transmission system after a long time. Therefore, the tension of each traction rope should be kept uniform during operation.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN220165545U discloses an elevator wire rope tension detector, which realizes a more accurate detection function of the wire rope through the cooperation of a rotating shaft, a built-in groove, a pushing mechanism, a detector and a displacement sensor. Among them, by causing the push block to slide inside the built-in groove and the electric detector to move until the detector contacts and squeezes one side of the wire rope, causing the wire rope to deform and bend, and cooperates with the displacement sensor to sense the metal of the wire rope, so that it detects the size of the wire rope between the vertical position and the bent position, and cooperates with the value sensed by the detector, so as to collect data through the controller and calculate the current wire rope tension.
[0004] However, during the actual use of the device, various impurities, such as lubricating oil and other substances, adhere to the wire rope. The contact of the sensor with these impurities will greatly affect the data finally measured by the sensor, and also affect the service life of the sensor. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an elevator wire rope tension detector, which can clean the elevator wire rope before measuring the tension of the elevator wire rope to avoid contamination of the detection instrument body.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problem is: an elevator wire rope tension force detector, comprising: A detection assembly, used for detecting the tension of the elevator wire rope; the detection assembly comprises a rectangular block, a U-shaped groove arranged on the rectangular block, a clamping block arranged inside the U-shaped groove, a detector fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping block and used for detecting the tension, a stop bar used for clamping the wire rope together with the clamping block, and a displacement assembly used for moving the clamping block toward the stop bar; A cleaning assembly, used for cleaning the elevator wire rope; the cleaning assembly comprises a connecting plate arranged below the rectangular block, two groups of clamping plates are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the opposite surfaces of the two groups of clamping plates are provided with wiping cotton for cleaning the wire rope, and a connecting rod assembly arranged on the connecting plate and used for guiding the connecting plate to move toward the side of the rectangular block; The connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod hinged to the connecting plate and the rectangular block through a hinge, a sliding rod arranged on the side of the rectangular block through a connecting seat, a sliding block slidably connected to the sliding rod, and a second connecting rod hinged to the sliding block and the first connecting rod through a hinge.
[0007] The detection assembly is mainly used to accurately measure the tension of the elevator wire rope. The rectangular block provides support and structural stability for the entire detection assembly, which is convenient for the fixation and operation of other components. The U-shaped groove provides a fixed channel for the wire rope to be inserted, which is convenient for clamping and measuring. The clamp block and the baffle bar clamp the wire rope, applying the necessary measuring force to the detector to ensure that the detection can be carried out correctly. The displacement assembly is used to move the clamp block toward the baffle bar, thereby clamping the wire rope and improving the convenience of operation.
[0008] The cleaning component cleans the surface of the wire rope before measuring the tension of the wire rope to avoid contamination of the testing instrument and ensure measurement accuracy. It is installed under the rectangular block as the main structure of the cleaning component, connecting the clamping plate and the guide component. The two sets of clamping plates are arranged symmetrically, and the opposite surfaces are affixed with wiping cotton, which can clamp the wire rope and clean its surface. The wiping cotton is a soft material with adsorption properties, which is used to effectively clean foreign matter such as oil, dust and other foreign matter on the surface of the wire rope.
[0009] The connecting rod assembly is used to move the cleaning assembly to both sides of the rectangular block after cleaning the wire rope, so that the tensioning force can be directly measured without removing the cleaning assembly from the wire rope, and the measurement efficiency is high.
[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the cleaning assembly also includes a movable groove arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate, a bidirectional screw rod rotatably connected to the inside of the movable groove, and two groups of movable blocks threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod; the two groups of movable blocks are respectively fixedly connected to the two groups of clamping plates.
[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the displacement assembly is a cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular block, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping block.
[0012] A further preferred technical solution is that: the slide bar is also sleeved with a spring for pushing up the slide block inward.
[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that: a mounting groove is provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, and a displacement sensor is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove.
[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that: a side portion of the baffle is fixedly connected to a limit strip, an inner wall of the U-shaped groove is provided with a limit groove, and the limit groove is slidably connected to the limit strip.
[0015] A further preferred technical solution is that a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular block.
[0016] A further preferred technical solution is that a groove with a semicircular curved surface structure is provided at the bottom of the clamping block and the top of the blocking bar.
[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that the side surface of the clamping plate is semicircular.
[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that: both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the connecting seat and the sliding block respectively.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following benefits: 1. The present invention allows the clamping plates to be outside the elevator steel wire rope at the same time, and pushes the rectangular block to approach the elevator steel wire rope. At this time, the hinged effect between the connecting plate and the rectangular block and the first connecting rod, the sliding cooperation between the sliding rod and the slider, and the hinged effect between the slider and the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are utilized, so that the two groups of clamping plates on both sides will move to the two ends of the steel wire rope at the same time outside the elevator steel wire rope. At this time, the wiping cotton on the clamping plates will wipe the surface of the steel wire rope, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the oil stains on the surface of the elevator steel wire rope.
[0020] 2. In the present invention, as the rectangular frame continues to be pushed, the clamping plate continues to move to both sides until the elevator wire rope finally enters the U-shaped groove, and then the detection is performed. This process does not require the clamping plate to be disassembled, thereby improving the detection efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] A first connecting rod 104 is symmetrically hinged between the connecting plate 101 and the rectangular block 1 through a hinge, and sliding rods 105 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular block 1 through a connecting seat. A slider 106 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 105, and a second connecting rod 107 is hinged between the slider 106 and the first connecting rod 104 on the same side through a hinge. A spring 108 is also sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 105, and both ends of the spring 108 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat and the slider 106 respectively.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning assembly only includes a group of connecting plates 101 arranged under the rectangular block 1. In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 104 and the second connecting rod 107 are set to be long enough, and the position where the upper end of the first connecting rod 104 is hinged to the rectangular block 1 is located on one side of the rectangular block 1 instead of the middle position. The length of the sliding rod 105 is the width of the entire rectangular block 1, ensuring that the entire section of the wire rope entering the rectangular block 1 can be cleaned only by two groups of clamping plates 102 under a group of connecting plates 101.
[0049] A moving groove is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 101, and a two-way screw rod 1001 is rotatably connected inside the moving groove. Moving blocks 1002 are threadedly connected to the outside of both sides of the two-way screw rod 1001, and the moving blocks 1002 are fixedly connected to the clamping plates 102 on the same side. The two sets of moving blocks 1002 are driven to move toward or away from each other by rotating the two-way screw rod 1001, so that the two sets of clamping plates 102 can be driven to move toward or away from each other at the same time, so as to facilitate the use of wire ropes of different diameters. The clamping plates 102 are designed with an arc structure as a whole, and the two sets of clamping plates 102 can be spliced into a complete circular ring, which is convenient for better fitting the elevator wire rope. The moving block 1002 is slidably connected to the moving groove, which can play a certain guiding role in the movement of the clamping plates 102.
[0050] The wiping cotton 103 is made of a highly absorbent and durable fabric, and in this embodiment is specifically a non-woven fabric with good softness and adsorption capacity, which can effectively remove dust, grease and other dirt.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, a cleaning agent is provided on the wiping cotton 103, and the cleaning agent is a neutral solution or a degreasing agent.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the contact surface between the wiping cotton 103 and the steel wire rope is provided with a specific texture to improve friction and cleaning efficiency, and to help capture and remove fine particles and dirt during the wiping process.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the wiping cotton 103 is provided with an antistatic component to prevent static adsorption during the cleaning process, thereby preventing dust from reattaching.
[0054] The implementation principle of an elevator wire rope tension tester in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: first, two sets of clamping plates 102 on both sides are placed on both sides of the elevator wire rope at the same time, and then the bidirectional screw rod 1001 is rotated to drive the two sets of clamping plates 102 to approach the elevator wire rope so that the wiping cotton 103 contacts its surface, and then the rectangular block 1 is pushed to approach the elevator wire rope. At this time, the hinged effect between the connecting plate 101 and the rectangular block 1 and the first connecting rod 104, the sliding cooperation between the sliding rod 105 and the sliding block 106, the sliding block 106 and the first connecting rod 104 are utilized. The hinged connection between the first connecting rod 104 and the second connecting rod 107 causes the two groups of clamps 102 on both sides to move simultaneously outside the elevator wire rope toward the two ends of the wire rope. At this time, the wiping cotton 103 on the clamp 102 will wipe the surface of the wire rope, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the oil stains on the surface of the elevator wire rope, making it convenient to clean the wire rope. When the device squeezes the wire rope to produce displacement, the squeezed position is not easily sticky to the lubricating oil on the wire rope or the viscous substance after friction, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection result.
[0055] As the rectangular frame 1 continues to be pushed, the elevator wire rope will eventually enter the U-shaped groove, and then the blocking bar 6 is inserted into the bottom of the U-shaped groove by the sliding fit between the limit bar 601 and the limit groove 602 and fixed by the fixing bolts. Finally, the cylinder 3 is started to push the clamping block 2 towards the elevator wire rope and squeeze it to cause the wire rope to deform and bend. The pressure value can be detected by the detector 4, and the metal sensing of the wire rope by the displacement sensor 5 can detect the size of the wire rope between the vertical position and the bending position. By collecting the data of the two, the current tension of the wire rope can be calculated.
[0056] In addition, a further improvement is that mounting brackets are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular block 1 to facilitate fixing of the device.
[0057] In addition, the same or similar element symbols are used to refer to the same or similar parts or steps in the drawings and descriptions as much as possible. The drawings are presented in simplified form and are not drawn to exact scale. For convenience and clarity only, directional terms such as top, bottom, left, right, upward, above, above, below, below, behind, and in front may be used with respect to the drawings.
