[0040] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0041] Figure 1-5 The copper wire disconnection detection alarm device shown includes a workbench 1; a trigger rod 2 is hinged to the workbench 1; a mounting frame 3 is provided on the workbench 1; a proximity switch 4 and an audible and visual alarm assembly are provided on the mounting frame 3; multiple rows of wire reels are provided on one side of the workbench 1; copper wires 5 are provided on the wire reels; one end of the trigger rod 2 is located at the bottom of the copper wires 5; the other end of the trigger rod 2 is located in the mounting frame 3 and at the bottom of the proximity switch 4; the proximity switch 4 is connected to a controller 101; the controller 101 is connected to the audible and visual alarm assembly.

[0042] The trigger rod 2 is horizontally positioned, with one end resting on the bottom of the copper wire 5 without contacting it. When the copper wire 5 falls off the reel, it will fall onto the trigger rod 2, pressing it down. At this time, the other end of the trigger rod 2 tilts upwards, moving towards the proximity switch 4. The proximity switch 4 then sends a signal to the controller 101, which controls the audible and visual alarm components to trigger an alarm. Once the alarm is triggered, the operator can promptly detect the wire loss and reset the copper wire 5. This device can monitor the copper wire 5 in real time and trigger an alarm immediately upon its loss.

[0043] The workbench 1 is provided with two support plates 6; the support plates 6 are provided with pivot holes 601; the trigger rod 2 is connected to a pivot 602; the trigger rod 2 is located between the two support plates 6; the pivot 602 is located in the pivot hole 601.

[0044] The workbench 1 is set at a location where the copper wire 5 frequently falls off, such as near the wire reels at both ends of the conveyor line; the support plate 6 is a triangular plate; the bottom of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the workbench 1; the rotating shaft 602 is fixedly connected to the middle of the trigger rod 2; the rotating shaft 602 is located between the two support plates 6; the end of the rotating shaft 602 is inserted into the rotating shaft hole 601 and can rotate in the rotating shaft hole 601; thus, the trigger rod 2 can rotate on the top of the workbench 1.

[0045] The mounting frame 3 is located at the end of the workbench 1 away from the copper wire 5; the mounting frame 3 includes a top plate 7 and a bottom plate 701; a side plate 702 is provided between the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 701; a support block 8 is provided on the bottom plate 701; the proximity switch 4 is mounted on the top plate 7; the trigger rod 2 is located on the support block 8; the trigger rod 2 is located at the bottom of the proximity switch 4.

[0046] Mounting frame 3 is a U-shaped frame; mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of workbench 1; proximity switch 4 is fixedly connected to top plate 7, and the detection end of proximity switch 4 extends towards bottom plate 701; support block 8 provides support for the end of trigger rod 2 to ensure that trigger rod 2 is in a horizontal state; proximity switch 4 is an inductive proximity switch (TL-Q5MC1, Omron inductive proximity switch), and proximity switch 4 mounted on top plate 7 generates an alternating electromagnetic field through an internal high-frequency oscillator, forming a preset detection distance with trigger rod 2 (metal material); when trigger rod 2 moves toward proximity switch 4 and enters the detection magnetic field range of proximity switch, metal trigger rod 2 will cause electromagnetic field distortion, causing the oscillation amplitude of oscillator to decay. After the internal circuit detects and processes this change, it outputs a switching signal to realize non-contact monitoring of the position status of trigger rod 2.

[0047] The base plate 701 is provided with multiple support blocks 8; the top of the support block 8 is provided with a limiting groove 801 and an insert 802; the trigger rod 2 is provided in the limiting groove 801; the insert 802 is provided on both sides of the limiting groove 801; the bottom of the support block 8 is provided with a slot 803; the insert 802 of the support block 8 is inserted into the slot 803 of the adjacent support block 8.

[0048] Multiple support blocks 8 are provided on the top surface of the base plate 701; by increasing or decreasing the number of support blocks 8, the trigger rod 2 is supported so that the trigger rod 2 can be kept horizontal; the trigger rod 2 is provided in the limiting groove 801 so that the trigger rod 2 can be limited; by inserting the plug 802 of one support block 8 into the slot 803 of another support block 8, the multiple support blocks 8 can be stably connected.

[0049] A stop block 703 is provided on the top plate 7; the stop block 703 is located on one side of the proximity switch 4; the trigger rod 2 is pressed against the stop block 703.

[0050] The stop block 703 is fixedly connected to the top plate 7, and there is an angle between the stop block 703 and the top plate 7. When the trigger rod 2 moves a certain distance toward the proximity switch 4, it will be blocked by the stop block 703, so that it cannot contact the proximity switch 4, thus preventing the proximity switch 4 from being damaged by the trigger rod 2.

[0051] The controller 101 is connected to the side plate 702 away from the support block 8; the audible and visual alarm assembly includes an alarm light 9 and a buzzer 901; the alarm light 9 and the buzzer 901 are mounted on the top plate 7; both the alarm light 9 and the buzzer 901 are connected to the controller 101.

[0052] The controller 101 is an ARK-1123 controller; the interface of the controller 101 is connected to the proximity switch 4, and receives the position signal of the trigger rod 2 fed back by the proximity switch 4 in real time; the processor inside the controller 101 analyzes and processes the signal according to the preset program, and when it is determined that the trigger rod 2 is close, it sends control commands to the alarm light 9 and the buzzer 901 installed on the top plate 7 through the output interface; the alarm light 9 illuminates and alarms after receiving the signal; the buzzer 901 sounds and alarms after receiving the signal.

[0053] The bottom of the base plate 701 is provided with an adjusting plate 10; the base plate 701 is provided with a threaded hole 704, and a fixing bolt 11 is connected in the threaded hole 704; a fixing nut 111 is connected to one end of the adjusting plate 10; the fixing bolt 11 is connected in the fixing nut 111; a first oblong hole 112 is provided at the end of the adjusting plate 10 away from the fixing bolt 11; a second oblong hole 113 is provided on the worktable 1; a horizontal adjusting bolt 114 is connected in the second oblong hole 113; the horizontal adjusting bolt 114 is connected in the first oblong hole 112; and a locking nut 115 is connected to the horizontal adjusting bolt 114.

[0054] The fixing bolt 11 is threaded into the threaded hole 704 and is connected to the fixing nut 111; the fixing nut 111 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 10; thus, the base plate 701 and the adjusting plate 10 are fixedly connected; the locking nut 115 is connected into the first oblong hole 112 and the second oblong hole 113, thus, the distance between the mounting frame 3 and the worktable 1 can be adjusted.

[0055] The bottom of the worktable 1 is provided with a base 12; a limit rod 121 and a motor 122 are connected on the base 12; the output shaft of the motor 122 is connected to a drive screw 123; the worktable 1 is provided with a limit hole 102; a drive nut 103 is provided on one side of the limit hole 102; the limit rod 121 is located in the limit hole 102; the drive screw 123 is connected in the drive nut 103.

[0056] The base 12 provides support for the entire structure. When the motor 122 starts, its output shaft drives the drive screw 123 to rotate. Since the drive screw 123 is threadedly connected to the drive nut 103 on the worktable 1, the rotational motion of the screw is converted into the linear motion of the drive nut 103, which in turn drives the worktable 1 to move along the axial direction of the drive screw 123. At the same time, the limiting rod 121 on the base 12 passes through the limiting hole 102 on the worktable 1. The cooperation between the limiting rod 121 and the limiting hole 102 restricts the rotational freedom of the worktable 1, ensuring that the worktable 1 can only make smooth linear motion along the axial direction of the limiting rod 121. By rotating the motor 122 in both directions, the reciprocating movement of the worktable 1 can be realized, thereby adjusting the position of the worktable 1 and the components installed on it.

[0057] A method for using a copper wire disconnection detection alarm device includes the following steps:

[0058] S1: Adjust the height of the trigger rod 2 so that one end of the trigger rod 2 is directly below the copper wire 5, and there is a gap between the trigger rod 2 and the copper wire 5;

[0059] S2: The copper wire 5 drops and presses down one end of the trigger rod 2; the other end of the trigger rod 2 rises and moves toward the proximity switch 4; the proximity switch 4 sends a signal to the controller 101; the controller 101 receives the signal, processes it, and sends a signal to the alarm light 9 and the buzzer 901; the alarm light 9 receives the signal, processes it, and lights up; the buzzer 901 receives the signal, processes it, and sounds an alarm.

[0060] In S1, motor 122 starts, and drive screw 123 drives worktable 1 to adjust its vertical position through drive nut 103; connect horizontal adjusting bolt 114 to the first oblong hole 112 and the second oblong hole 113 to adjust the distance between mounting frame 3 and worktable 1; install multiple support blocks 8 on base plate 701; place the end of trigger rod 2 in the limiting groove 801 of the topmost support block 8 to keep trigger rod 2 in a horizontal state.

[0061] The specific workflow of this invention is as follows:

[0062] S1: Adjust the height of the trigger rod 2 so that one end of the trigger rod 2 is directly below the copper wire 5, and there is a gap between the trigger rod 2 and the copper wire 5;

[0063] S2: The copper wire 5 drops and presses down one end of the trigger rod 2; the other end of the trigger rod 2 rises and moves toward the proximity switch 4; the proximity switch 4 sends a signal to the controller 101; the controller 101 receives the signal, processes it, and sends a signal to the alarm light 9 and the buzzer 901; the alarm light 9 receives the signal, processes it, and lights up; the buzzer 901 receives the signal, processes it, and sounds an alarm.

[0064] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
