Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cable reel, and in particular to a modular automatic wire-arranging cable reel device for a crane. Background Art

[0002] Cables are common components in the engineering field, providing power and transmitting signals to construction machinery. Currently, cables are essential for cranes to power and transmit signals to boom equipment. Cranes have long booms, typically hundreds of meters in length. Retracting, releasing, and storing these long cables is a critical issue, necessitating the use of cable reels. Cable reels allow for both retraction and storage of cables as they rotate in both the forward and reverse directions. Because of the length of the cables, the reels are larger and, to facilitate future maintenance and replacement, are fixed outside the crane boom, hence the name "outboard cable reel."

[0003] An out-of-arm cable reel is an indispensable electrical component for current lifting machinery. Prior art cable reel devices, such as "Cable Reel and Construction Machinery," patent application number 201410233836.6, include a reel housing, a scroll spring, and a planetary reduction mechanism disposed within the reel housing. The planetary reduction mechanism has an input connected to the reel housing and an output connected to the free end of the scroll spring.

[0004] This solution uses a planetary reduction mechanism to reduce the number of spiral springs while ensuring the cable winding length. However, this solution has a complex structure, a low level of modularity, and is extremely inconvenient to disassemble and replace.

[0005] The cable reel device in the prior art is such as the "in-arm cable reel assembly, cable device and crane", application number 201921540542.2; the in-arm cable reel assembly includes a reel body and a protective cover, the protective cover is fixedly connected to the reel body and is sleeved on the circumference of the reel body, and the protective cover is provided with a wire port for entering and exiting the cable, and a scraper is provided at the wire port, which is used to scrape impurities on the cable.

[0006] This solution uses a protective cover structure to protect the cables, but this structure does not take into account the cable rope structure. When the cables are too long, the ropes are prone to entanglement and stacking, resulting in tangled ropes and broken ropes.

[0007] The cable reel device of the prior art, such as "A cable reel capable of automatically arranging cables", application number 202411450043.X, includes a shell, a winding assembly, a cable arrangement assembly, a wire take-up assembly and a cable locking assembly. The winding assembly rotates at the center of the shell, the cable arrangement assembly is arranged on the front side of the shell, the wire take-up assembly is arranged on the cable arrangement assembly, and the cable locking assembly is arranged on the shell.

[0008] This solution uses driving gears in different directions to realize the screw slider mechanism, which can achieve the technical effect of automatic wiring. However, this solution has many components, high cost, large size and heavy weight.

[0009] In summary, existing cable reels often suffer from complex structures, making them difficult to disassemble and replace; cable entanglement and stacking can lead to tangled cables and breakage; and they suffer from numerous components, high costs, large size, and heavy weight. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new cable reel devices that can overcome these issues. Summary of the Invention

Different numbers of coil springs 41-coil spring cover 42 components can be set according to the cable length, and the coil spring 41 can be replaced to achieve the specific cable tension requirements of the cable reel.

[0036] like Figure 7The brush assembly 5 of the present invention includes a brush stator wire 51, a brush stator 52, a brush rotor 53, a brush rotor wire 54, a brush via 55, and a brush holder 56. The cable 6 includes an input wire 61 and an output wire 62. The brush assembly 5 is highly integrated and integrally packaged, making it dustproof and waterproof. One end of the incoming line 61 of the cable 6 is connected to the crane boom tail connector, and the other end is quickly connected to the brush stator wire 51 through the internal cavity of the core shaft 16; the outgoing line 62 of the cable 6 is the cable wound on the cable reel, one end of which is quickly connected to the brush rotor wire 54 through a quick connector, and is wound around the reel 3 through the outlet on the right shell base 22. The other end of the outgoing line 62 is connected to the crane boom head connector 300 to supply power to the crane boom head equipment and transmit signals; the brush stator 52 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes and is fixedly connected to the brush holder 25 by tightening screws; a brush fixing frame 56 is provided on the top of the brush rotor 53, and a brush support rod 29 is provided between the brush fixing frame 56 and the right shell base 22 for supporting the brush assembly 5 so that the brush rotor 53 rotates with the reel 3. The brush assembly components are highly integrated, easy to replace, and have good waterproof performance. The joints between the incoming wire 61 and the outgoing wire 62 in the wire harness 6 and the cable reel 100 are all sealed to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the cable reel 100 through the incoming wire 61 and the outgoing wire 62.

[0037] like Figure 8 The automatic cable arrangement bracket assembly 7 of the present invention includes a reciprocating screw 71, a screw slider 72, a movable guide rod 73, a baffle 74, a fixed guide rod 75, a guide pulley 76, a transmission driven wheel 77, a bracket 78 and a transmission belt 79; the bracket 78 is fixed to the outside of the flange 17 and is stationary relative to the boom; the fixed guide rod 75 is fixed to the bracket 78 by a nut, and guides the screw slider 72. The baffle 74 is fixed to the fixed guide rod 75, and the bearing on the baffle 74 supports and limits the reciprocating screw 71; the reciprocating screw 71, the screw slider 72, the movable guide rod 73, and the fixed guide rod 75 constitute a reciprocating screw slider mechanism. The reciprocating screw 71 has a double When the reciprocating screw rod 71 rotates forwardly, the screw slider 72 can be driven to move to one side along the fixed guide rod 75. When the movable guide rod 73 on the screw slider 72 moves to the end of the bidirectional guide groove, the bidirectional guide groove will change the guide of the movable guide rod 73, thereby driving the screw slider to slide in the opposite direction without changing the direction of the reciprocating screw rod 71; one side of the bidirectional screw rod 71 is connected to the fixed transmission wheel 77 by a pin, and the driving wheel 19 rotates with the reel 3, and the bidirectional screw rod 71 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 79 and the driven wheel 77; a guide pulley 76 is installed on the screw slider 72, and the outlet end of the cable 6 passes through the inside of the guide pulley 76, which guides the outlet end of the cable 6 and makes the wiring neat.

[0038] During operation, flange 17 of the left support flange assembly 1 is bolted to the first boom section 200 of the crane. One end of the incoming cable 61 of the cable 6 is connected to the boom tail connector, while the other end of the outgoing cable 62 is connected to the boom head connector 300, supplying power and transmitting signals to the boom head equipment. When the cable reel is not in operation, the crane's telescopic boom is not extended, and the outgoing cable 62, i.e., the cable, is wound in multiple layers around the reel 3. When the crane is operating, i.e., when the telescopic boom is extended, the boom 200 pulls the outgoing cable 62, or the cable, from the drum 3, simultaneously driving the drum 3 to rotate about the core shaft 16 and the coil spring cover 42. The outer ring of the first coil spring 41 is driven by the coil spring cover 42 to rotate, thereby winding and storing force. The inner ring of the first coil spring 41 drives the second coil spring cover 42, which in turn drives the second coil spring 41 to store force. Similarly, the inner ring of the last coil spring 41 is fixed to the second stop sleeve 45, thereby storing force in series. Multiple groups of coil springs are all under tension, ensuring that the outgoing cable 62, or the cable, is always under tension when it is pulled out, ensuring that the outgoing cable 62, or the cable, is uniformly stretched. The rotation of the drum 3 simultaneously drives the right housing base 22, which in turn drives the brush rotor 53 to rotate. The brush rotor 53 rotates relative to the brush stator 52. The rotation of the brush rotor 53 relative to the brush stator 52 in the brush assembly 5 enables power and signal transmission. The brush stator 52 is fixedly connected to the brush holder 25. The quick-connect connector of the brush stator wire 51 is fixedly connected to the incoming wire 61. The brush holder 25 is fixedly connected to the core shaft 16, and the core shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the flange 17. Therefore, the brush stator 52, the incoming wire 61, the brush holder 25, the core shaft 16, and the flange 17 are all in a relatively static state. When the crane boom is retracted, the torsional spring force of the coil spring 41 drives the reel 3 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reel 3 rotates in the same direction as the drive wheel 19. The drive wheel 19 drives the driven wheel 77 and the reciprocating screw 71 to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt 79, causing the screw slider 72 to slide back and forth on the fixed guide rail 75. The guide pulley 76 winds the outgoing wire 62 neatly and multi-layered around the reel 3.

[0039] The main innovative features of the present invention are as follows:

[0040] 1. The device consists of seven components: a left support flange assembly 1, a right support housing assembly 2, a drum 3, a coil spring assembly 4, a brush assembly 5, a cable 6, and an automatic cable traversing bracket 7. These components connect to form a modular automatic cable traversing reel device. Each component is a relatively independent assembly and can be disassembled independently for inspection, repair, or replacement. Five of the components—the drum 3, coil spring assembly 4, brush assembly 5, automatic cable traversing bracket assembly 7, and core shaft 16—are interchangeable and adaptable to accommodate different cable lengths and varying amounts of transmitted signals.

[0041] 2、The coil spring assembly 4 is composed of multiple coil spring 41-coil spring cover 42 assemblies, and the multiple coil spring 41-coil spring cover 42 assemblies are connected in series. Each coil spring 41-coil spring cover 42 assembly is used as a module, and different numbers of coil spring 41-coil spring cover 42 assemblies can be set according to the cable length to meet the design requirements of the cable drum of different lengths.

[0042] 3、The reciprocating screw rod 71, the screw block 72, the movable guide rod 73, and the fixed guide rod 75 in the automatic wire arrangement support assembly 7 form a reciprocating screw block mechanism. The reciprocating screw rod 71 has a bidirectional guide groove. When the reciprocating screw rod 71 rotates forward, the screw block 72 can be driven to move to one side along the fixed guide rod 75. When the movable guide rod 73 on the screw block 72 moves to the end of the bidirectional guide groove, the bidirectional guide groove changes the direction of the movable guide rod 73, thereby driving the screw block to slide in the opposite direction without changing the direction of the reciprocating screw rod 71. When the cable drum rotates, the driving wheel 19 rotates with the drum 3, the bidirectional screw rod 71 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 79 and the driven wheel 77, the screw block guide pulley 76 moves reciprocally with the screw block 72, and the cable 6 is guided to the outlet 62, so that the wires are arranged in order.

[0043] The present application proposes a modular design structure, and the basic structure can derive long-distance and short-distance and multi-signal transmission cable drums; the components are integrated, and the disassembly and maintenance are convenient; the automatic wire arrangement structure design can arrange the wires in order. Through the modular design and the coil spring cascade scheme, the problems of complex structure, inconvenient disassembly and replacement of the prior art are solved; through the design of the automatic wire arrangement support, the problems of cable winding and stacking, which leads to disordered wires and broken wires, are solved; through the design of the reciprocating screw rod and block structure, the problems of many components, high cost, large size, and heavy weight of the prior art are solved.
