[0018] Oil storage tank 1, oil box 2, oil brush 3, oil outlet pipe 4, solenoid valve 5, ball valve 6, controller 7, wire rope 8, pulley 9. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the winch wire rope 8 oiling device of the embodiment of the present invention includes an oiling component and a controller 7.

[0021] Specifically, the oiling assembly includes an oil storage tank 1, an oil brush 3 assembly and an oil box 2. The oil storage tank 1 has an oil outlet and a control valve for controlling the oil outlet switch. The oil box 2 is used to receive the oil discharged from the oil outlet. The oil brush 3 assembly is used to brush the oil in the oil box 2 onto the wire rope 8. The controller 7 is connected to both the control valve and the oil brush 3 assembly, and the control can sense the operating state of the winch. When the winch is running, the controller 7 controls the control valve to open the oil outlet, and controls the oil brush 3 assembly to oil the wire rope 8. When the winch stops operating, the controller 7 controls the control valve to close the oil outlet, and controls the oil brush 3 assembly to stop operating.

[0022] That is to say, when the cable car is running, the controller 7 can automatically detect that it is in operation, and the wire rope 8 moves back and forth with the pulley 9. At this time, the controller 7 controls the oil outlet to open, and the oil discharged from the oil outlet will drip into the oil box 2. The controller 7 continues to control the oil brush 3 component to brush oil. Since the wire rope 8 is in continuous reciprocating motion, the wire rope 8 can be evenly oiled. In addition, the entire process is controlled by the controller 7 as an information collection and control module, and the oiling component as an execution module. After receiving the winch operation information, the controller 7 directly controls the operation of the oiling component.

[0023] The winch wire rope 8 oiling device of the embodiment of the present invention comprises an oiling assembly including an oil storage tank 1, an oil brush 3 assembly and an oil box 2. The oil storage tank 1 has an oil outlet and a control valve for controlling the oil outlet switch. The oil box 2 is used to receive the oil discharged from the oil outlet. The oil brush 3 assembly is used to brush the oil in the oil box 2 onto the wire rope 8. The controller 7 is connected to both the control valve and the oil brush 3 assembly, and the control can sense the operating state of the winch. When the winch is running, the controller 7 controls the control valve to open the oil outlet and controls the oil brush 3 assembly to oil the wire rope 8. When the winch is stopped, the controller 7 controls the control valve to close the oil outlet and controls the oil brush 3 assembly to stop operating. Therefore, the controller 7 serves as an information collection and control module, and the oiling assembly serves as an execution module. After receiving the winch operation information, the controller 7 directly controls the operation of the oiling assembly. The entire process does not require human participation, thus avoiding close contact between personnel and the winch operating parts, ensuring personnel safety, and at the same time being able to maintain long-term and effective maintenance of the wire rope 8, reducing the replacement frequency of the wire rope 8.

[0024] In some embodiments, the controller 7 includes an audible, visual and voice alarm device, which can sense the operating state of the winch and send out an alarm signal. Thus, the audible, visual and voice alarm device can timely broadcast an alarm signal when the winch is running, avoid people approaching, and ensure the safety of people. Optionally, in addition to the audible, visual and voice alarm device, other alarm devices can be selected as long as they can achieve early warning, and there is no limitation here.

[0025] Furthermore, the oil outlet is provided with an oil outlet pipe 4, the outlet of which is located above the oil box 2, and the control valve is provided on the oil outlet pipe 4. That is, when the control valve is opened, the oil outlet pipe 4 can discharge oil to the oil box 2, and the setting of the oil outlet pipe 4 facilitates the diversion of the discharged oil. Optionally, the oil outlet pipe 4 can adopt a multi-section telescopic structure, which is convenient for flexibly adjusting the position of the oil outlet point and has high versatility.

[0026] In some embodiments, the control valve includes a solenoid valve 5 for controlling the on / off of the oil outlet pipe 4, and the controller 7 is connected to the solenoid valve 5 to control the on / off of the solenoid valve 5. Specifically, when the controller 7 detects that the winch is running, the controller 7 controls the solenoid valve 5 to open and then open the oil outlet pipe 4, and when the controller 7 detects that the winch stops running, the controller 7 controls the solenoid valve 5 to close and then close the oil outlet pipe 4.

[0027] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the control valve includes a ball valve 6, which is located on the side of the solenoid valve 5 close to the pipe mouth, and the controller 7 is connected to the ball valve 6. It can be understood that the ball valve 6 can control the opening to adjust the oil flow rate of the oil outlet pipe 4 to avoid waste or insufficient oil supply. In the specific operation process, the controller 7 first controls the solenoid valve 5 to open, and then adjusts the opening of the ball valve 6 according to demand.

[0028] Further, the oil brush 3 assembly includes an oil brush 3, a drive motor and a bracket, the drive motor is connected to the oil brush 3 through the bracket, the controller 7 is connected to the drive motor and controls the drive motor to operate, and the drive motor can control the oil brush 3 to move between the oil box 2 and the wire rope 8. Specifically, when the wire rope 8 is oiled, the controller 7 controls the drive motor to turn on, and the drive motor drives the oil brush 3 to move to the oil box 2 position for oil immersion, and then moves to the wire rope 8 for oil brushing.

[0029] Optionally, the bracket may be a connecting rod with multiple sections of movable connections, and the driving motor may drive the connecting rod to swing to drive the oil brush 3 to move.

[0030] Furthermore, the oiling device for the winch wire rope 8 also includes a mounting platform, on which the oiling assembly and the controller 7 are both arranged, and the mounting platform can be raised and lowered and / or a running wheel is arranged at the bottom of the mounting platform. In other words, the oiling assembly and the controller 7 are centrally assembled on the mounting platform, and the lifting and movement of the mounting platform are convenient for real-time adjustment according to the specific working environment, and the flexibility is high.

[0032] The winch system of the embodiment of the present invention adopts a winch wire rope 8 oiling device, and the oiling component includes an oil storage tank 1, an oil brush 3 component and an oil box 2. The oil storage tank 1 has an oil outlet and a control valve for controlling the oil outlet switch. The oil box 2 is used to receive the oil discharged from the oil outlet. The oil brush 3 component is used to brush the oil in the oil box 2 onto the wire rope 8. The controller 7 is connected to both the control valve and the oil brush 3 component, and the control can sense the operating state of the winch. When the winch is running, the controller 7 controls the control valve to open the oil outlet and controls the oil brush 3 component to oil the wire rope 8. When the winch is stopped, the controller 7 controls the control valve to close the oil outlet and controls the oil brush 3 component to stop operating. Therefore, the controller 7 serves as an information collection and control module, and the oiling component serves as an execution module. After receiving the winch operation information, the controller 7 directly controls the operation of the oiling component. The whole process does not require human participation, avoids close contact between personnel and the winch operating parts, ensures personnel safety, and can maintain long-term and effective maintenance of the wire rope 8, reducing the replacement frequency of the wire rope 8.

[0033] Furthermore, the winch system further includes a steel wire rope 8, a pulley 9 and a bracket, the pulley 9 is arranged on the bracket and is used to drive the steel wire rope 8, and the bracket is provided with a mounting platform, and the mounting platform is used to install the oiling assembly and the controller 7. Therefore, the oiling device of the winch steel wire rope 8 can be installed with the original bracket of the steel wire rope 8, without the need to specially build an installation platform, saving costs.

[0034] Further, the bracket is provided with a guide rail, and the mounting platform is provided with a pulley 9 that is slidably matched with the guide rail. Thus, the mounting platform can be moved according to demand, thereby improving the use flexibility of the oiling device.
