Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anchor cable processing, and specifically refers to an automatic hook installation device for the end of an anchor cable. Background Art

[0002] An anchor cable hook is composed of a steel wire rope and a hook. One end of the steel wire rope passes through the hook, and after one end of the steel wire rope is bent into a loop, two strands of the steel wire rope are pressed and fixed together through a lock sleeve for lifting, towing, tensioning, and bearing.

[0003] The anchor cable hook uses a lock sleeve to fix the steel wire rope end to the steel wire rope. It is necessary to use a hydraulic press to press the lock sleeve. During pressing, it is necessary to fit the steel wire rope end to the steel wire rope to form a loop at the end of the steel wire rope.

[0004] In the prior art, the end of the steel wire rope forms a loop by passing the end of the steel wire rope through a winding tube to form a loop and then locking it. For example, an end loop forming device for steel wire rope production disclosed in the publication number CN117604794A, and an end loop forming device for steel wire rope disclosed in the publication number CN115383015A.

[0005] However, it is difficult for the steel wire rope to directly pass through the winding tube. Especially for the steel wire rope used in the anchor cable, it has high strength and is not easy to bend. When the steel wire rope moves along the winding tube to form a loop, since the winding tube is in the shape of a heart-shaped loop, the friction between the steel wire rope and the inner wall of the winding tube is large. As a result, it is easy for the end of the steel wire rope not to smoothly pass through the winding tube, which affects the formation of the loop at the end of the steel wire rope. And it is necessary to pass the steel wire rope with too high strength through the lock sleeve twice, and the operation is relatively difficult. For this reason, we propose an automatic hook installation device for the end of an anchor cable. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above situation, to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic hook installation device for the end of an anchor cable.

[0012] Furthermore, the right guiding assembly further includes a limiting unit. A limiting groove is formed on the left side wall of the second horizontal guiding block. The limiting groove is the same as the receiving groove. A receiving groove is formed on the inner wall of the right side of the limiting groove. The limiting unit includes a limiting block, a connecting rod and a third spring. The connecting rod slidably penetrates through one inner wall of the receiving groove in the left-right direction. The limiting block is fixedly arranged at one end of the connecting rod. A first stopper is fixedly arranged at the other end of the connecting rod. The third spring is slidably sleeved on the connecting rod and abuts between the limiting block and the inner wall of the receiving groove. The limiting block extends into the limiting groove.

[0016] Further, a placement groove is formed on the supporting plate, and an avoidance groove is formed in the middle of the arc-shaped guiding block. The placement groove is communicated with the avoidance groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention with the above structure are as follows: 1. The bending of the steel wire rope is more smooth: The bending shape of the arc-shaped guiding block is smoother than that of the traditional chicken heart-shaped winding pipe, which can more easily guide the bending of the steel wire rope, reduce the obstruction of the steel wire rope during the loop formation process, and improve the success rate of the loop formation at the end of the steel wire rope. Compared with the traditional steel wire rope guiding structure, the guiding component of the steel wire rope in this application is divided into three parts: left guiding, bending guiding, and right guiding, expanding the bending range, making it more convenient to guide the bending of the steel wire rope, no longer restricting the steel wire rope within a very small guiding range, and guiding the bending of the steel wire rope more smoothly.

[0018] 2. Automatic sleeving and pressing are realized: Through the coordinated work of components such as the first driving unit, the second driving unit, the energy storage unit, the pulling unit, the limiting unit, and the elastic support unit, the steel wire rope sleeving process is simplified. Through specific guiding components and pre-placed lock sleeves and hooks, in cooperation with the pressing unit, automatic sleeving of the steel wire rope with the lock sleeve and hook and automatic pressing of the lock sleeve can be realized, and the taking and placing are convenient, reducing the operation difficulty and improving the operation convenience.

[0019] 3. Ensure the stable transportation of the steel wire rope: The pressing unit can press the steel wire rope when it passes through the feeding port, so that the steel wire rope maintains a stable direction during transportation, avoiding deviation, and ensuring the stability of the production process and the product quality.

[0020] 4. Ensure operation safety: The baffle provided on the second horizontal guiding block can prevent the free end of the steel wire rope from rushing forward out of the front end of the second horizontal guiding block due to the rebound of the elastic telescopic rod after breaking away from the limiting block, eliminating potential safety hazards and ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0021] 5. Facilitate the placement and passing through of the hook: The placement groove on the supporting plate is communicated with the avoidance groove on the arc-shaped guiding block, which is convenient for the placement and sliding of the hook, enabling the steel wire rope to pass through the hook smoothly, and optimizing the overall operation process.

Detailed implementation manners

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0026] Such as Figures 1 - 7As shown in the figure, an automatic hook - installing device for the end of an anchor cable according to the present invention includes a workbench 1, a left guiding component 2, a right guiding component 3, and a bending guiding component 4. The left guiding component 2 includes a horizontal guiding block one 21 slidably arranged on the workbench 1. The right guiding component 3 includes a horizontal guiding block two 31 slidably arranged on the workbench 1. The horizontal guiding block one 21 and the horizontal guiding block two 31 are arranged opposite to each other. The bending guiding component 4 includes an arc - shaped guiding block 41 slidably arranged on the workbench 1. The two ends of the arc - shaped guiding block 41 are respectively in contact and alignment with one end of the horizontal guiding block one 21 and one end of the horizontal guiding block two 31. At the bottom of the opposite surfaces of the horizontal guiding block one 21 and the horizontal guiding block two 31, a supporting platform 22 is integrally formed. At the bottom of the arc - shaped guiding block 41, a supporting plate 42 is integrally formed. The connections between the horizontal guiding block one 21 and the horizontal guiding block two 31 and the supporting platform 22 are all rounded. The connection between the arc - shaped guiding block 41 and the supporting plate 42 is rounded.

[0027] Working principle: The steel wire rope is sequentially conveyed along the horizontal guiding block one 21, the arc - shaped guiding block 41, and the horizontal guiding block two 31, and is bent under the guidance of the arc - shaped guiding block 41. The bending shape of the arc - shaped guiding block 41 is smoother than the bending shape of the traditional irregular heart - shaped coiling tube, making it easier to guide the bending of the steel wire rope. At the same time, when conveying the steel wire rope, the steel wire rope can pass through the lock sleeve 5 placed at the horizontal guiding block one 21 and the hook placed at the arc - shaped guiding block 41. The lock sleeve 5 and the hook are pre - placed, and then the free end of the steel wire rope moves to the horizontal guiding block two 31 and stops. The diameter range of the steel wire rope should exceed the edge of the supporting platform 22, so as to avoid the collision of the two supporting platforms 22 when pressing the lock sleeve 5 and the steel wire rope. At the bottom of both the horizontal guiding block one 21 and the horizontal guiding block two 31, a clamping groove is opened, and a guide rail slidably matched with the clamping groove is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1, enabling the horizontal guiding block one 21 and the horizontal guiding block two 31 to move along a straight line.

[0028] As Figures 1 - 7 shown in the figure, the left guiding component 2 further includes a driving unit one 23. The driving unit one 23 includes a cylinder one 231 and a U - shaped frame one 232. The U - shaped frame one 232 is horizontally and fixedly arranged on the side wall of the horizontal guiding block one 21. The cylinder one 231 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1, and its horizontal output end is fixedly connected to the middle of the U - shaped frame one 232.

[0029] By setting the driving unit one 23, using the expansion and contraction of the cylinder one 231 to drive the movement of the U - shaped frame one 232 and the horizontal guiding block one 21, thereby realizing the movement of the steel wire rope and the lock sleeve 5, and realizing the subsequent fitting of the steel wire rope and the pressing of the lock sleeve 5.

[0030] As Figures 6 - 8As shown, the left guiding component 2 further includes an energy storage unit 24. The energy storage unit 24 includes a sliding rod 241, a first spring 242, a sliding block 243, and a clamping rod 244. The sliding rod 241 is fixedly arranged between the front and rear inner walls of the first U-shaped frame 232. The sliding block 243 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 241. The first spring 242 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 241 and abuts between the sliding block 243 and the front side of the first U-shaped frame 232. The clamping rods 244 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on the side wall of the sliding block 243 facing the first horizontal guiding block 21. An accommodating groove 27 is formed on the right side wall of the first horizontal guiding block 21. A locking sleeve 5 is placed in the accommodating groove 27. A long slot 28 communicating with the first U-shaped frame 232 is formed on the left inner wall of the accommodating groove 27. The clamping rods 244 slidably pass through the long slot 28. One end of the locking sleeve 5 abuts against the left and rear inner walls of the accommodating groove 27 and is clamped between the two clamping rods 244. The distance between the two clamping rods 244 is equal to the width of the locking sleeve 5.

[0031] As Figure 3 , Figure 14 As shown, the left guiding component 2 further includes a pulling unit 25. The pulling unit 25 includes a pulling rope 251, a fixed pulley 252, a fixing plate 253, and a pulling rod 254. The fixing plate 253 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1. The pulling rod 254 slidably penetrates through the fixing plate 253. A first limiting disc 255 is fixedly arranged at one end of the pulling rod 254. A second limiting disc 256 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the pulling rod 254. The fixed pulley 252 is fixedly installed at the front end of the first U-shaped frame 232. One end of the pulling rope 251 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 243. The other end of the pulling rope 251 penetrates through the front side of the first U-shaped frame 232, bypasses the fixed pulley 252, and is fixedly connected to the first limiting disc 255. The pulling unit 25 further includes a second spring 257. The second spring 257 is slidably sleeved on the pulling rod 254 and abuts between the second limiting disc 256 and the fixing plate 253. The pulling rope 251 on the pulling unit 25 is connected to the sliding block 243 on the energy storage unit 24.

[0032] Working principle of the first driving unit 23, the pulling unit 25, and the energy storage unit 24: When the first driving unit 23 drives the first horizontal guiding block 21 to move towards the second horizontal guiding block 31, the pulling rope 251 on the pulling unit 25 pulls the sliding block 243, causing the sliding block 243 to move along the sliding rod 241 and compress the first spring 242. The movement of the sliding block 243 drives the clamping rods 244 to move, and further drives the locking sleeve 5 between the clamping rods 244 to move, making the locking sleeve 5 move forward, facilitating the subsequent alignment and socket connection of the free end of the steel wire rope.

[0033] As Figures 1 - 8As shown, the right guiding assembly 3 further includes a second driving unit 32. The second driving unit 32 includes a second cylinder 321 and a second U-shaped frame 322. The second U-shaped frame 322 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the second horizontal guiding block 31. The second cylinder 321 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the middle of the second U-shaped frame 322.

[0034] By providing the second driving unit 32, the telescopic movement of the second cylinder 321 is utilized to drive the telescopic movement of the second U-shaped frame 322 and the second horizontal guiding block 31, thereby realizing the movement of the steel wire rope and the lock sleeve 5, realizing the relative movement between the second horizontal guiding block 31 and the first horizontal guiding block 21, and further realizing the fitting of the steel wire rope and the pressing of the lock sleeve 5.

[0035] As Figures 6 - 8 shown, the right guiding assembly 3 further includes a limiting unit 33. A limiting groove 34 is formed in the left side wall of the second horizontal guiding block 31. The limiting groove 34 is the same as the receiving groove 27. A receiving groove 35 is formed in the right inner wall of the limiting groove 34. The limiting unit 33 includes a limiting block 331, a connecting rod 332 and a third spring 333. The connecting rod 332 slidably penetrates through one inner wall of the receiving groove 35 in the left-right direction. The limiting block 331 is fixedly arranged at one end of the connecting rod 332. A first stopper 334 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 332. The third spring 333 is slidably sleeved on the connecting rod 332 and abuts between the limiting block 331 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 35. The limiting block 331 extends into the limiting groove 34. When the other end of the lock sleeve 5 moves into the limiting groove 34, the limiting block 331 is squeezed into the receiving groove 35.

[0036] As Figures 10 - 11 shown, the bending guiding assembly 4 further includes an elastic supporting unit 43. The elastic supporting unit 43 includes a supporting plate 431 and an elastic telescopic rod 432. The supporting plate 431 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1 and is located in front of the arc-shaped guiding block 41. The elastic telescopic rods 432 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on the supporting plate 431, and one end of each elastic telescopic rod 432 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped guiding block 41. A third cylinder 433 is also fixedly arranged on the supporting plate 431. The third cylinder 433 is located between the two groups of elastic telescopic rods 432. An arc-shaped plate 434 is fixedly arranged on the output end of the third cylinder 433. When the arc-shaped plate 434 moves forward, it fits with the front end of the arc-shaped guiding block 41.

[0037] The working principle of the limiting unit 33 and the elastic support unit 43 is that they can limit the free end of the wire rope. When the locking sleeve 5 moves into the limiting groove 34 and squeezes the limiting block 331 into the storage groove 35, the limiting of the free end of the wire rope is released. At this time, the free end of the wire rope can enter the locking sleeve 5 under the rebound of the elastic support unit 43, completing the operation of the two strands of wire rope entering the locking sleeve 5. When used specifically, the cylinder 1 231 and the cylinder 2 321 are extended, and the cylinder 3 433 is contracted. The arc guide block 41 is no longer rigidly supported by the cylinder 3 433. At this time, under the bending force of the wire rope, the arc guide block 41 is driven to squeeze the elastic telescopic rod 432. When the horizontal guide block 1 21 drives the locking sleeve 5 to enter the limiting groove 34, the limiting block 331 is pushed into the storage groove 35. After the limit block 331 is squeezed into the receiving groove 34 and the limit block 331 is squeezed into the receiving groove 35, the free end of the wire rope is no longer interfered by the limit block 331. At this time, under the rebound effect of the elastic telescopic rod 432, the arc guide block 41 is driven to move toward the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the horizontal guide block 2 31, so that the arc guide block 41 is again fitted with the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the horizontal guide block 2 31, and the arc guide block 41 drives the wire rope to move as a whole, so that the free end of the wire rope enters the locking sleeve 5, completing the socket connection between the locking sleeve 5 and the two wire ropes. At this time, the cylinder 1 231 and the cylinder 2 321 continue to extend. At this time, the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the horizontal guide block 2 31 squeeze and deform the locking sleeve 5, thereby pressing the two wire ropes.

[0038] like Figures 1 - 9 , Figure 12 , Figure 13As shown, the left guiding assembly 2 further includes a pressing unit 26. The pressing unit 26 is located at the front end of the first horizontal guiding block 21. The pressing unit 26 includes a pressing block 261, a first connecting plate 262, a second connecting plate 263, a push rod 264, and a fourth spring 265. One end of the first connecting plate 262 is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to the front end of the first horizontal guiding block 21. The second connecting plate 263 is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to the other end of the first connecting plate 262. The second connecting plate 263 is located in front of the second horizontal guiding block 31. The push rod 264 slidably penetrates through the second connecting plate 263. The pressing block 261 is fixedly arranged at one end of the push rod 264 facing the first horizontal guiding block 21 and is slidably attached to the first connecting plate 262. A second stopper 266 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the push rod 264. The fourth spring 265 is slidably sleeved on the push rod 264 and abuts between the pressing block 261 and the second connecting plate 263. A wire threading hole 267 with a semicircular cross-section is formed in the pressing block 261. A combined block 268 is fixed on the side wall of the first horizontal guiding block 21 facing the pressing block 261, and the bottom of the combined block 268 is arc-shaped. The wire threading hole 267, the bottom of the combined block 268, and the connection between the first horizontal guiding block 21 and the support table 22 together form a circular channel 269. A notch 2610 is formed at the connection between the first connecting plate 262 and the first horizontal guiding block 21. The notch 2610, the connection between the first horizontal guiding block 21 and the support table 22 together form a feeding port 2611 with an open top.

[0039] Working principle of the pressing unit 26: By using the pressing unit 26, when the steel wire rope passes through the feeding port 2611 and advances along the circular channel 269, the steel wire rope can be pressed to keep the conveying direction of the steel wire rope from deviating. The movement of the first horizontal guiding block 21 will drive the movement of the entire pressing unit 26, so that the pressing unit 26 always presses on the steel wire rope. When the second stopper 266 is pulled to one side, driving the push rod 264 and the pressing block 261 away from the first horizontal guiding block 21, the pressed steel wire rope can be taken out at this time.

[0040] As Figures 5 - 7 As shown, a baffle 36 is further arranged on the second horizontal guiding block 31. The baffle 36 is slidably arranged in the opening formed by the second horizontal guiding block 31 and the support table 22, and a positioning plate 37 is fixedly arranged at the top of the baffle 36. A locking bolt 38 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 37. A threaded hole corresponding to the locking bolt 38 is formed on the second horizontal guiding block 31. By arranging the baffle 36, it is to prevent the free end of the steel wire rope from rushing out of the front end of the second horizontal guiding block 31 under the elastic return action of the elastic telescopic rod 432 when the free end of the steel wire rope breaks away from the limiting block 331, causing a safety hazard. After having the baffle 36, the free end of the steel wire rope can move at most to the position of the baffle 36, ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0041] As Figures 10 - 11As shown in the figure, a placement groove 44 is formed in the pallet 42, and an avoidance groove 45 is formed in the middle of the arc-shaped guide block 41. The placement groove 44 communicates with the avoidance groove 45. By providing the placement groove 44, the hook can slide in the placement groove 44 and enter the avoidance groove 45. The avoidance groove 45 can accommodate one end of the hook, so that the steel wire rope can pass through the hook.

[0042] During specific use, the hook is placed in the placement groove 44, and one end of it extends into the avoidance groove 45. Then, one end of the lock sleeve 5 abuts against the left and rear inner walls of the receiving groove 27 and is stuck between the two clamping rods 244. The distance between the two clamping rods 244 is equal to the width of the lock sleeve 5. Then, through the conveying mechanism (the conveying mechanism is a common device for driving the movement of the steel wire rope. It drives the two driving wheels that clamp the steel wire rope to rotate through a motor, which can drive the steel wire rope to move forward. It is a prior art and will not be elaborated), the steel wire rope enters the feeding port 2611. The steel wire rope moves along the inner walls of the horizontal guide block 1 21, the arc-shaped guide block 41, and the horizontal guide block 2 31, and automatically passes through the hook and the lock sleeve 5. When inputting the steel wire rope, the pressing block 261 is pressed against the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the combined block 268 by the elastic force of the spring 4 265. While pressing the passing steel wire rope, it does not affect the conveying of the steel wire rope. After the steel wire rope passes through the wire passing hole 267, it moves along the connection between the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the support table 22, passes through the lock sleeve 5, continues to move along the arc-shaped guide block 41, and bends under the guidance of the arc-shaped guide block 41. The bending shape of the arc-shaped guide block 41 is smoother than the bending shape of the traditional irregular heart-shaped winding tube, and it is easy to guide and bend the steel wire rope and pass it through the hook. When the free end of the steel wire rope moves to the horizontal guide block 2 31 and abuts against the limit block 331, the steel wire rope conveying is completed at this time and is separated from the conveying mechanism. During the conveying process of the steel wire rope, the cylinder 3 433 drives the arc-shaped plate 434 to abut against the arc-shaped guide block 41, so that the arc-shaped guide block 41 fits with the horizontal guide block 1 21 and the horizontal guide block 2 31. Then, simultaneously start the extension of cylinder 1 (231) and cylinder 2 (321), and the contraction of cylinder 3 (433). Cylinder 1 (231) and cylinder 2 (321) drive the relative movement of U-shaped bracket 1 (232) and U-shaped bracket 2 (322), thereby driving the relative movement of horizontal guide block 1 (21) and horizontal guide block 2 (31). At the same time, under the pulling of the pull rope 251, drive the sliding block 243 to slide and compress spring 1 (242). Spring 1 (242) starts to store energy. The clamping rod 244 on the sliding block 243 drives the lock sleeve 5 to move forward, and the horizontal guide block 1 (21) drives the lock sleeve 5 to move into the limit groove 34 on the horizontal guide block 2 (31); it should be noted that when the lock sleeve 5 moves to the frontmost side of the receiving groove 27, at this time, spring 1 (242) can no longer be compressed. At this time, the lock sleeve 5 can be inserted into the limit groove 34 and push the limit block 331, but there will be no movement interference with the free end of the steel wire rope (because at this time, the lock sleeve 5 is located in front of the free end of the steel wire rope, that is, in contact with the limit block 331 and not in contact with the free end of the steel wire rope). When the horizontal guide block 1 (21) continues to drive the lock sleeve 5 to move, at this time, spring 2 (257) starts to be continuously compressed until the lock sleeve 5 pushes the limit block 331 into the storage groove 35; due to the contraction of cylinder 3 (433), the arc-shaped guide block 41 is no longer rigidly supported. At this time, under the bending force of the steel wire rope, drive the arc-shaped guide block 41 to squeeze the elastic telescopic rod 432. When the horizontal guide block 1 (21) drives the lock sleeve 5 into the limit groove 34 and squeezes the limit block 331 into the storage groove 35, at this time, the free end of the steel wire rope is no longer resisted by the limit block 331. At this time, under the rebounding action of the elastic telescopic rod 432 (the elastic telescopic rod 432 is a spring-type telescopic rod, which is composed of two rods, and one of the rods is equipped with a spring to achieve telescoping through elastic force, which is an existing technology and will not be elaborated), drive the arc-shaped guide block 41 to move towards the horizontal guide block 1 (21) and the horizontal guide block 2 (31), so that the arc-shaped guide block 41 is reattached to the horizontal guide block 1 (21) and the horizontal guide block 2 (31), and the arc-shaped guide block 41 drives the overall movement of the steel wire rope, so that the free end of the steel wire rope enters the lock sleeve 5, completing the socketing of the lock sleeve 5 with two strands of steel wire ropes. At this time, cylinder 1 (231) and cylinder 2 (321) continue to extend. At this time, the horizontal guide block 1 (21) and the horizontal guide block 2 (31) squeeze and deform the lock sleeve 5, thereby pressing the two strands of steel wire ropes tightly, realizing the automatic threading of the steel wire rope with the lock sleeve 5 and the hook and the automatic pressing process of the lock sleeve 5; Then, after the extrusion of the lock sleeve 5 is completed, cylinder 1 (231) and cylinder 2 (321) contract, driving the horizontal guide block 1 (21) and the horizontal guide block 2 (31) to move away from each other, so that the clamping rod 244 is separated from the lock sleeve 5. At this time, pull the second stop block 266 to one side, driving the push rod 264 and the pressing block 261 to move away from the horizontal guide block 1 (21). At this time, the steel wire rope together with the hook can be taken out; at the same time, when the horizontal guide block 1 (21) and the horizontal guide block 2 (31) move away from each other, spring 1 (242) starts to rebound, causing the sliding block 243 to start resetting, preparing for the installation of the next steel wire rope with the lock sleeve 5 and the hook.
