Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of marine mechanical equipment and relates to a linkage device, in particular to an automatic linkage device of a photoelectric composite cable. Background Art

[0002] The optical cable needs to be recovered synchronously during the movement of the moving target. Since the moving target is powered by an external mobile diesel generator, the diesel generator set generates electricity and transmits it to the internal equipment of the moving target through cables. The cables of the control and monitoring alarm system are customized together with the power supply cables. The watertight armored optical composite cable is used. The diameter of the optical composite cable is thicker than that of ordinary cables and the weight is also heavier than ordinary cables. Therefore, a set of linkage devices needs to be designed to achieve the synchronous retraction and release of the optical composite cable and the moving target during the movement. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic linkage device for an optoelectronic composite cable to solve the problem of synchronous retraction and extension of the optoelectronic composite cable and a moving target during driving.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purposes, the present photoelectric composite cable automatic linkage device is composed of a mechanical part and an electrical part; the mechanical part adopts the structure and principle of a flower rack single-beam gantry crane, and is composed of a main beam, a running car beam truss, a bridge frame, a trolley running mechanism, a photoelectric composite cable slide mechanism and a photoelectric composite cable guiding mechanism; the electrical part is composed of a distance detection system, a control system and a communication system; the distance detection system includes a laser guidance system, an encoder and a programmable controller, which calculates the distance of the moving target from the starting position in real time through the laser guidance system, calculates the real-time distance of the trolley running mechanism to the starting position through the encoder on the trolley running mechanism sending a high-speed pulse signal, and changes the speed of the trolley running mechanism driven by the programmable controller through the control system to ensure that the distance between the trolley running mechanism and the moving target is constant, thereby realizing the linkage between the trolley running mechanism and the moving target.

[0005] In the mechanical part described above, the bridge is supported on the trolley running mechanism through the legs on both sides, the main beam is spanned over the two bridges, and the running carriage beam truss is located on the centerline of the main beam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the technical scheme and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] The embodiment provides an automatic linkage device for an optoelectronic composite cable, which includes a main beam 1, a bridge frame 2, a track bracket 3, a connecting frame 4, a running beam truss 5, a trolley running mechanism 6, a control cabinet 7, an optoelectronic composite cable sliding rope mechanism and an optoelectronic composite cable guiding mechanism. The main beam is 28.87m long and the center span of the trolley track is

[0024] 27.47m, 3.5m from the top of the main beam to the top of the trolley rail. The connecting frame is 3.22m long. The optoelectronic composite cable pulley mechanism consists of 22 track brackets, one of which is a spare bracket. The distance between two adjacent track brackets is 6m, and the pulley track is 6m above the ground. The control system adopts Siemens PLC closed-loop control. The trolley power source is a variable frequency reduction motor, and the braking method is electrical and motor braking.

[0025] When the moving target starts to move, switch the switch of the control cabinet 7 to the automatic mode, press the "start" button on the control cabinet, the start indicator light will light up, and the power contactor will be turned on. The trolley running mechanism 6 is driven by a special variable frequency motor. In order to ensure the linkage between the trolley running system and the moving target, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the trolley running mechanism and the moving target is constant at L1 during the movement. When the moving target is L1 away from the starting position, the distance L0 of the moving target from the starting position during the last laser pulse is obtained. Through the distance between L1 and L0 and the time t between the two pulses, the moving speed V1 = (L1-L0) / t of the moving target can be obtained at this time. The speed V1 is used as the starting speed of the trolley running mechanism. At this time, the distance of the trolley running mechanism from the starting position l1 = 0. During operation, the laser guidance system calculates the distance Ln of the moving target from the starting position in real time. The encoder on the trolley running mechanism sends a high-speed pulse signal, and the system calculates the distance ln that the trolley running mechanism has traveled to the starting position. In order to keep the distance between the moving target and the trolley running mechanism at L1, a threshold value ΔL is set. When abs(Ln-ln-L1)>ΔL, the control system changes the speed V of the trolley running mechanism driven by the programmable controller. n =V n-1 +(Ln-ln-L1), ensuring that the distance difference between the trolley running mechanism and the moving target and the constant distance L1 does not exceed the threshold value ΔL, so that the trolley running mechanism can automatically follow the moving target. On the photoelectric composite cable cable mechanism, the front photoelectric composite cable is guided to the sports car beam truss through the connecting frame and the main beam frame, and connected to the moving target. When the trolley running mechanism slides, the main beam frame drives the photoelectric composite cable cable mechanism to slide through the connecting frame, thereby realizing the linkage of the cable.
