Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of processing and winding of wire ropes for cranes and marine engineering cranes, and in particular to a gantry winding machine for wire rope production. Background Technology

[0002] Wire ropes, due to their high strength, high toughness, and wear resistance, play an important role in cranes, including marine engineering cranes. For ease of storage and transportation, wire ropes are typically wound up using a winding machine before use, tightly coiling them onto a specialized reel.

[0003] Related technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN213140951U, which discloses a wire rope winding device, including a base frame, a motor frame at one end of the base frame, a motor installed at the bottom inside the motor frame, a through-rotating shaft at the top of the motor frame, a conveyor belt connected to the shaft on the motor's output shaft, a limiting plate outside the motor frame on the shaft, a winding wheel fitted on the shaft, and side plates on both sides of the winding wheel. The winding wheel has a through hole in its center, and two support plates supporting the winding wheel are installed on the base frame. The winding wheel is fitted onto the shaft, and positioning pins on the limiting plate are installed in positioning grooves on the side plates of the winding wheel. Positioning nuts are tightened to fix the winding wheel to the shaft, and the wire rope is fixed to one end of the winding wheel. The motor then rotates the shaft via the conveyor belt. After winding is complete, the winding wheel is removed by unscrewing the positioning nuts.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when winding steel wire ropes, the main method is to use reciprocating guide posts to limit and guide the steel wire ropes during the winding process, so that the steel wire ropes can be evenly arranged along the axis of the winding wheel during the winding process. However, due to the variety of steel wire rope diameters and winding speeds, the equipment is difficult to adapt to the winding requirements of steel wire ropes of different diameters, which can easily lead to uneven interlayer gaps and thus cause uneven winding problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to maintain the uniformity of wire rope winding when winding wire ropes of different thicknesses, this application provides a gantry winding machine for wire rope production.

[0006] This application provides a gantry-type winding machine for steel wire rope production, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A gantry-type wire rope take-up machine for steel wire rope production includes a gantry frame and a mounting frame. The mounting frame supports the winding reel and drives the reel to reciprocate vertically along the gantry frame. The gantry frame is equipped with a take-up motor for driving the reel to take up the wire rope. The machine also includes: a wire guide plate, located below the gantry frame and slidably connected to the gantry frame along the axis of the reel; the wire guide plate has lateral openings for limiting the steel wire rope; a reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to the gantry frame, positioned along the moving direction of the wire guide plate and connected to the wire guide plate; when the reciprocating screw rotates, it drives the wire guide plate to reciprocate along the axis of the reel; and a transmission belt is located between the take-up motor and the reciprocating screw, which drives the reciprocating screw to rotate synchronously when the take-up motor operates. It includes a tensioning pulley for tightening the transmission belt; a speed regulating mechanism, located between the transmission belt and the reciprocating screw, comprising two sets of opposing conical pulleys, both of which are coaxial with the reciprocating screw, the transmission belt located between the two conical pulleys, the conical pulleys connected to the transmission belt via their outer conical surfaces, and the reciprocating screw rotating synchronously via the conical pulleys when the transmission belt rotates, the reciprocating screw being equipped with an adjusting rod for adjusting the distance between the two conical pulleys, several anti-slip blocks evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner side of the transmission belt, and several anti-slip teeth meshing with the anti-slip blocks on the conical pulleys, the distance between adjacent anti-slip teeth and the distance between the anti-slip teeth and the axis of the conical pulleys being adjustable, and the conical pulleys being equipped with support members for supporting and adjusting the anti-slip teeth.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the gantry supports the winding reel via a mounting bracket, and the winding reel is driven to rotate by a winding motor. During the winding of the wire rope, one end of the wire rope is passed through the limiting hole on the wire guide plate and wrapped around the outside of the winding reel, so that the rotating reel winds up the wire rope. During operation, the winding motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the transmission belt and the conical pulley. This causes the reciprocating screw to push the wire guide plate to move along the axis of the winding reel. When the wire guide plate moves, it causes the wire rope to deflect synchronously through the limiting hole, thus arranging the wire rope evenly on the winding reel. During this process, when the slider and the anti-slip teeth mesh with each other, it helps to improve the transmission stability between the transmission belt and the conical pulley and reduces the probability of slippage between the transmission belt and the conical pulley. When winding steel wire ropes of different thicknesses, the distance between the two conical pulleys is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the contact position between the drive belt and the conical pulleys. This changes the radius of rotation of the drive belt at the conical pulleys, altering the transmission ratio between the winding motor and the reciprocating screw. With the reel speed remaining constant, adjusting the speed of the reciprocating screw adjusts the movement speed of the wire guide plate along the reel axis, suitable for steel wire ropes of different thicknesses. During adjustment, the tensioning wheel keeps the drive belt taut, and the anti-slip teeth are adjusted using support components, suitable for different working conditions. By adjusting the transmission ratio between the reciprocating screw and the reel through the speed regulating mechanism, the uniformity of the steel wire rope arrangement along the reel axis can be ensured when winding steel wire ropes of different thicknesses.

[0009] Optionally, the support includes a rotating ring, a push rod, a mounting base, and a sliding block. The conical wheel has several grooves opened radially. The mounting base is located in the grooves and is slidably connected to the conical wheel radially. The rotating ring is sleeved on the outside of the conical wheel and is rotatably connected to the conical wheel. One end of the push rod is hinged to the rotating ring vertically, and the other end is hinged to the mounting base. The conical wheel is provided with a rotating component for rotating the rotating ring. The mounting base has an adjustment groove perpendicular to the grooves along its length. The sliding block is located in the adjustment groove and moves along the adjustment groove. The mounting base is rotatably connected to a moving screw for driving the sliding block to move. Anti-slip teeth are connected to the sliding block and move synchronously with the sliding block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the conical wheel supports and limits the mounting base through the sliding groove. When the rotating component drives the rotating ring to rotate, the rotating ring pushes the mounting base to move radially along the conical wheel through the push rod. The mounting base limits the sliding block through the adjusting groove. When the mounting base moves, the anti-slip teeth move synchronously through the sliding block. The sliding block can be moved along the length of the adjusting groove by moving the screw. The position of the anti-slip teeth can be adjusted in two different directions, thus making it suitable for transmission belts with different rotation radii and improving the applicability of the anti-slip teeth.

[0011] Optionally, the mounting base includes a sliding part and a connecting part. The sliding part contacts the conical wheel and is slidably connected to the conical wheel along the length of the groove. The sliding block is connected to the sliding part. The connecting part is located on the side of the sliding part away from the axis of the conical wheel and is slidably connected to the sliding part along the length of the groove. The sliding part is provided with a fine-tuning screw for adjusting the distance of the connecting part. The push rod is connected to the connecting part and drives the sliding part to move through the connecting part.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding part limits the connecting part through the fine-tuning screw, so that when the push rod moves, it drives the sliding part to move synchronously through the connecting part. When the rotating ring is in a stationary state, the distance between the connecting part and the sliding part can be adjusted by the fine-tuning screw, and then the position of the corresponding anti-slip tooth along the length of the groove can be finely adjusted individually.

[0013] Optionally, the anti-slip teeth include a locking tooth portion and a rotating rod portion. The locking tooth portion is adapted to the gap between adjacent anti-slip blocks on the transmission belt. The rotating rod portion is fixedly connected to one end of the locking tooth portion along its length direction, and the rotating rod portion passes through the sliding block and is rotatably connected to the sliding block. A positioning tube is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding block away from the locking tooth portion. The rotating rod portion passes through the positioning tube. Several positioning grooves are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the positioning tube. The positioning grooves are arranged along the axial direction of the positioning tube. Several positioning blocks adapted to the positioning grooves are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod portion. The rotating rod portion is also rotatably connected to a threaded tube, which is sleeved on the outside of the positioning tube and threadedly connected to the positioning tube.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding block supports the rotating rod through the positioning tube. The interaction between the positioning groove and the positioning block restricts the rotation of the rotating rod around its own axis. Furthermore, the engagement between the threaded tube and the positioning tube positions the displacement of the rotating rod along the axial direction. When adjusting the anti-slip teeth, after releasing the limiting forces of the threaded tube and the positioning groove, the rotating rod is rotated. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the locking teeth to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the deflection angle of the locking teeth. When the transmission belt has different rotation angles, the locking teeth can engage with the corresponding anti-slip block.

[0015] Optionally, the rotating component includes a bevel ring, a bevel gear, and a clamping component. The bevel ring is coaxially fixed with the rotating ring. The bevel gear meshes with the bevel ring and is rotatably connected to the conical wheel around its own axis. The conical wheel is fixed with a support block for supporting the rotation of the bevel gear. The clamping component is disposed on the support block and moves radially along the bevel gear. When the clamping component contacts the bevel gear, it cooperates with the support block to position the bevel gear.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, under the support of the support block, when the bevel gear rotates, the bevel gear drives the rotating ring to rotate synchronously through the meshing action with the bevel gear ring. By setting the clamping part, the bevel gear is positioned without the need to adjust the anti-slip teeth, thereby improving the overall working stability of the device.

[0017] Optionally, a tensioning element is also included, which is set on the cable management plate. The tensioning element includes a traction wheel, a measuring wheel, an elastic element, and a tension detector. The cable management plate is fixedly connected to a bracket in the horizontal direction. The traction wheel is located on the side of the bracket away from the reel and is slidably connected to the bracket in the vertical direction. The bracket is equipped with a lifting element for moving the traction wheel. The measuring wheel is located on the side of the cable management plate close to the reel and is slidably connected to the bracket in the vertical direction. The elastic element is set between the bracket and the measuring wheel for positioning the measuring wheel. The tension detector is fixedly connected to the bracket for detecting the vertical tension borne by the measuring wheel.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, under the support of the bracket, the wire rope passes through the limiting hole after winding around the traction wheel, and is then wound up by the winding wheel after winding around the measuring wheel again. The bracket supports and positions the measuring wheels through elastic elements. During the winding process, the wire rope is in a taut state, and the measuring wheels move vertically. During this process, the traction wheel and the limiting hole are at different heights. The tension measuring device detects the vertical tension borne by the measuring wheel. When the tension exceeds the preset value range, the lifting device moves the traction wheel closer to the height of the limiting hole, thereby loosening the wire rope. When the tension is lower than the preset value range, the lifting device continues to move the traction wheel vertically away from the limiting hole, thereby tightening the wire rope, thus flexibly adjusting the tension of the wire rope during the winding process.

[0019] Optionally, the mounting frame includes a lifting plate, a rotating shaft, a chuck, and a pushing component. The lifting plate is slidably connected to the gantry in the vertical direction. The gantry is equipped with a power component for moving the lifting plate. The rotating shaft is arranged in the horizontal direction and is rotatably connected to the lifting plate around its own axis. The winding wheel is located at one end of the rotating shaft along the axial direction in the working state. The chuck is fixed at one end of the rotating shaft near the winding wheel and is used to clamp the winding wheel so that the winding wheel rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft. The pushing component is fixedly connected to the lifting plate. A moving ring is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The pushing component pushes the rotating shaft to move along the axial direction through the moving ring. The gantry is also equipped with a connecting component, and the winding motor is connected to the rotating shaft through the connecting component.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the gantry moves the lifting plate vertically through the power component. The lifting plate supports the rotating shaft. When placing the reel, the end of the reel is aligned with the chuck on the rotating shaft. The moving ring is moved by the pushing component, so that the moving ring pushes the rotating shaft closer to the reel and is connected to the reel through the chuck. When the lifting plate rises, it drives the reel to move synchronously through the rotating shaft. When the winding motor works, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the connecting component, thereby driving the reel to rotate.

[0021] Optionally, the connecting component includes a drive shaft, a support cylinder, and a pulley assembly. The support cylinder is rotatably connected to the gantry. When the winding wheel is in operation, the shaft is coaxial with the support cylinder. The drive shaft has a polygonal cross-section and is slidably connected to the support cylinder along the axis of the support cylinder. The end of the shaft away from the chuck has a connection hole corresponding to the drive shaft. The pulley assembly is located between the support cylinder and the winding motor. The winding motor drives the support cylinder to rotate through the pulley assembly.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, the drive shaft is located away from the winding wheel. When the lifting plate drives the winding wheel to a preset height until the rotating shaft is coaxial with the support cylinder, the drive shaft is pushed into the connecting hole. At this time, the support cylinder is connected to the rotating shaft through the drive shaft. When the winding motor works, it drives the support cylinder to rotate through the pulley group, and then drives the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously through the support cylinder.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The gantry supports the reel via a mounting bracket and is driven to rotate by a winding motor. During the winding of the wire rope, one end of the wire rope is passed through the limiting hole on the wire guide plate and wrapped around the outside of the reel, allowing the rotating reel to wind up the wire rope. During operation, the winding motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt and the conical pulley. This causes the reciprocating screw to push the wire guide plate along the axis of the reel. As the wire guide plate moves, it causes the wire rope to deflect synchronously through the limiting hole, thus ensuring the wire rope is evenly arranged on the reel. During this process, the engagement of the slider and anti-slip teeth improves the transmission stability between the transmission belt and the conical pulley, reducing the probability of slippage between them. When winding steel wire ropes of different thicknesses, the distance between the two conical pulleys is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting rod, thereby adjusting the contact position between the transmission belt and the conical pulleys. This changes the radius of rotation of the transmission belt at the conical pulleys, altering the transmission ratio between the winding motor and the reciprocating screw. With the winding pulley speed remaining constant, adjusting the speed of the reciprocating screw adjusts the movement speed of the wire guide plate along the winding pulley axis, suitable for steel wire ropes of different thicknesses. During adjustment, the tensioning pulley keeps the transmission belt taut, and the anti-slip teeth are adjusted using support components, suitable for different working conditions. By adjusting the transmission ratio between the reciprocating screw and the winding pulley through the speed regulating mechanism, the uniformity of the steel wire rope arrangement along the winding pulley axis can be ensured when winding steel wire ropes of different thicknesses.

[0025] 2. Supported by the bracket, the wire rope passes through the limiting hole after winding around the traction wheel, and then winds up the measuring wheel again before being wound by the coiler. The bracket supports and positions the measuring wheels via elastic elements. During winding, the wire rope is under tension, and the measuring wheels move vertically. During this process, the traction wheel and the limiting hole are at different heights. A tension measuring device detects the vertical tension on the measuring wheels. When the tension exceeds a preset range, the lifting device moves the traction wheel closer to the height of the limiting hole, thus loosening the wire rope. When the tension is below the preset range, the lifting device continues to move the traction wheel vertically away from the limiting hole, thus tightening the wire rope. This allows for flexible adjustment of the wire rope tension during winding. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This application discloses a gantry winding machine for steel wire rope production. Example

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A gantry-type take-up machine for steel wire rope production includes a gantry 1 and mounting frames mounted on the gantry 1. Two sets of mounting frames are arranged opposite each other. Each mounting frame includes a lifting plate 21, a rotating shaft 22, a chuck 23, and a pushing component 24. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the gantry 1 vertically. The guide rod passes through the lifting plate 21 and is slidably connected to it, supporting and guiding the vertical movement of the lifting plate 21. The gantry 1 is also equipped with a power component 14 to drive the lifting plate 21 to move along the guide rod. In this embodiment, the power component 14 is a motor screw structure, which is a commonly used mechanism in this technical field and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating shaft 22 is arranged laterally and is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 21 around its own axis. The two rotating shafts 22 on the two sets of mounting frames are coaxial with each other. The lifting plate 21 supports the rotating shaft 22, allowing the rotating shaft 22 to move along its own axis. In this embodiment, the wire rope is wound up by the reel 3. The reel 3 includes a central cylindrical part and limiting plates fixed at both ends of the cylindrical part. A support hole is opened at the axis of the limiting plate, and the rotating shaft 22 is adapted to the support hole.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting disc has multiple reinforcing ribs arranged circumferentially on the end face away from the cylindrical part. The chuck 23 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 22 near the winding wheel 3, and multiple jaws are fixedly connected to the chuck 23 circumferentially. A moving ring 221 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 22. The moving ring 221 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 22. When the moving ring 221 moves along the axial direction, it drives the rotating shaft 22 to move synchronously. The pusher 24 is installed on the lifting plate 21 and moves synchronously with the lifting plate 21. In this embodiment, the pusher 24 is selected as an electric push rod. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to the moving ring 221 and is used to drive the moving ring 221 to move along the axial direction.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Before winding up the wire rope, the reel 3 is moved between the two shafts 22, aligning the shafts 22 with the support holes. The pusher 24 moves the shafts 22 closer to the reel 3, causing the ends of the shafts 22 to insert into the corresponding support holes. At this time, the chuck 23's jaws are inserted into the gap between two adjacent reinforcing ribs, locking the shafts 22 and the limiting disc together. Therefore, when the shafts 22 rotate, they drive the reel 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The gantry 1 is also equipped with a connector, which includes a drive shaft 91, a support cylinder 92, and a pulley assembly. The support cylinder 92 is arranged laterally and is rotatably connected to the gantry 1 around its own axis. The gantry 1 supports the support cylinder 92. When the lifting plate 21 is raised to the preset height, the rotating shaft 22 and the support cylinder 92 are coaxial, and the roller 3 is suspended in the air.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The drive shaft 91 passes through the support cylinder 92 along its axial direction and is slidably connected to the support cylinder 92. The cross-section of the drive shaft 91 is polygonal. When the support cylinder 92 rotates, it drives the drive shaft 91 to rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 22 has a connection hole 222 corresponding to the drive shaft 91. The drive shaft 91 is inserted into the connection hole 222, thereby connecting the support cylinder 92 and the rotating shaft 22. The gantry 1 is equipped with a take-up motor 11. The pulley group includes pulley one 931, pulley two 932 and belt 933. Pulley one 931 is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the take-up motor 11, and pulley two 932 is coaxially fixed to the support cylinder 92. The belt 933 is sleeved on the outside of pulley one 931 and pulley two 932. When the take-up motor 11 drives pulley one 931 to rotate, pulley one 931 drives pulley two 932 to rotate through the belt 933, and then drives the winding wheel 3 to rotate through the support cylinder 92 and the rotating shaft 22.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, a locking element is provided between the support cylinder 92 and the drive shaft 91. The locking element is used to restrict the relative movement between the drive shaft 91 and the support cylinder 92 along the axial direction. In this embodiment, the locking element includes a threaded cylinder one and a threaded cylinder two. The threaded cylinder one is coaxially fixed with the support cylinder 92, and the threaded cylinder two is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 91. When the drive shaft 91 is inserted into the connecting hole 222, the threaded cylinder two is sleeved on the outside of the threaded cylinder one and threadedly engaged with the threaded cylinder one, thereby realizing the mutual connection between the drive shaft 91 and the support cylinder 92.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The gantry 1 is also equipped with a cable guide plate 4, which is located on one side of the reel 3. When the wire rope is wound up, the wire rope moves from the cable guide plate 4 to the reel 3. A limit hole 41 is opened at the upper end of the cable guide plate 4, through which the wire rope passes and is connected to the reel 3. A crossbar parallel to the rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the gantry 1. The crossbar passes through the cable guide plate 4 along its length and is slidably connected to the cable guide plate 4. The gantry 1 positions and guides the cable guide plate 4 through the crossbar, so that the cable guide plate 4 moves along the axis of the reel 3.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably connected to the gantry 1. The reciprocating screw 12 is parallel to the crossbar, and two spiral grooves with opposite directions of rotation are opened on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 12 along the circumferential direction. The ends of the two spiral grooves are connected to each other along the length direction. A slider 42 adapted to the spiral groove is installed on the cable management plate 4. The slider 42 is inserted into the spiral groove and is slidably connected to the reciprocating screw 12 along the length direction of the spiral groove. Under the cooperation of the spiral groove and the slider 42, when the reciprocating screw 12 rotates, it pushes the cable management plate 4 to move along the length direction of the crossbar. Furthermore, after the slider 42 transitions from one spiral groove to another at the end of the reciprocating screw 12, the continued rotation of the reciprocating screw 12 can drive the cable management plate 4 to move in the opposite direction. Thus, the reciprocating movement of the cable management plate 4 is realized when the reciprocating screw 12 rotates in one direction.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The output shaft of the winding motor 11 is also coaxially fixed with a transmission wheel 111, and a transmission belt 5 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission wheel 111. The reciprocating screw 12 (see reference) Figure 1 The system includes a speed regulating mechanism 6 for connecting the transmission belt 5. The speed regulating mechanism 6 includes two opposing conical wheels 61. The outer circle of the conical wheel 61 is provided with a conical surface along the circumference. The cross-sectional area of ​​the two conical wheels 61 along the radial direction gradually decreases as they approach each other.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The conical wheel 61 is coaxial with the reciprocating screw 12 and is sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw 12. The reciprocating screw 12 has a moving groove along its axial direction. The conical wheel 61 is fixedly connected to a drive block corresponding to the moving groove. The drive block is inserted into the moving groove and is slidably connected to the reciprocating screw 12 along the length of the moving groove. Under the limiting action of the moving groove, when the conical wheel 61 rotates, it drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate synchronously. The reciprocating screw 12 is also provided with an adjusting rod 121, which is specifically a bidirectional screw. The bidirectional screw is parallel to the reciprocating screw 12, and its two ends pass through two drive blocks and are threadedly connected to the drive blocks. The bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the reciprocating screw 12. Under the support of the reciprocating screw 12, when the bidirectional screw is rotated, the bidirectional screw drives the two conical wheels 61 to move closer or further apart through the drive blocks.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The transmission belt 5 is located between two conical pulleys 61 and simultaneously contacts the conical surfaces of both pulleys 61. The gantry 1 is also equipped with a tensioning pulley 13, which is located inside the transmission belt 5 and is in rolling contact with it to maintain the transmission belt 5 under tension. Under the action of friction, when the winding motor 11 drives the transmission wheel 111 to rotate, the transmission wheel 111 drives the two conical pulleys 61 to rotate via the transmission belt 5, which in turn drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate via the conical pulleys 61.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the reciprocating screw 12 rotates, it drives the wire guide plate 4 to move back and forth along the axis of the winding wheel 3. Under the action of the limiting hole 41, during the winding process of the wire rope, the wire guide plate 4 drives the wire rope to be arranged evenly along the axis of the winding wheel 3. The rotation of the winding wheel 3 and the movement of the wire guide plate 4 are synchronized, which helps to improve the uniformity of the arrangement of the wire rope during the winding process.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 For wire ropes of different diameters, their arrangement density along the axis of the reel 3 is also different. When winding wire ropes of different diameters, if the diameter of the wire rope is thicker, the adjusting rod 121 is rotated so that the two conical wheels 61 move away from each other. At this time, the distance between the two conical surfaces increases. Under the action of the tensioning wheel 13, the transmission belt 5 still maintains contact with the conical surface of the conical wheel 61, and at this time, the transmission belt 5 on the outside of the conical wheel 61 slides down towards the axis of the conical wheel 61.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The radius of rotation of the transmission belt 5 outside the conical pulley 61 decreases, causing a change in the transmission ratio between the transmission pulley 111 and the conical pulley 61. When the winding wheel 3 rotates one revolution, the wire guide plate 4 moves a greater distance along the axis of the winding wheel 3, facilitating the uniform winding of thicker wire ropes. When winding thinner wire ropes, the adjusting rod 121 moves the two conical pulleys 61 closer together, reducing the distance the wire guide plate moves along the axis of the winding wheel 3 during one revolution. By adjusting the distance between the two conical pulleys 61, the uniformity of the wire rope arrangement along the axis of the winding wheel 3 can be ensured when winding wire ropes of different thicknesses.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 To further improve the transmission stability between the winding wheel 3 and the reciprocating screw 12, multiple anti-slip blocks 51 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner side of the transmission belt 5, and toothed blocks that mesh with the anti-slip blocks 51 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the transmission wheel 111. The conical wheel 61 is provided with multiple anti-slip teeth 62 corresponding to the anti-slip blocks 51. The position of the anti-slip teeth 62 on the conical wheel 61 is adjustable, and the conical wheel 61 is provided with support members for supporting the anti-slip teeth 62. When the transmission belt 5 is in operation, the anti-slip teeth 62 are located between two adjacent anti-slip blocks 51. The transmission belt 5 drives the anti-slip teeth 62 to rotate synchronously around the axis of the conical wheel 61 through the anti-slip blocks 51, thereby reducing the probability of relative slippage between the transmission belt 5 and the conical wheel 61.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The support includes a rotating ring 71, a push rod 72, a mounting base 73, and a sliding block 74. The conical wheel 61 has a radially open groove 63 corresponding to the anti-slip teeth 62. The mounting base 73 is located within the groove 63 and includes a sliding part 731 and a connecting part 732. The sliding part 731 fits against the inner wall of the groove 63 and is slidably connected to the conical wheel 61 along the length of the groove 63. The conical wheel 61 limits and guides the sliding part 731 through the groove 63. The connecting part 732 is located on the side of the sliding part 731 opposite to the axis of the conical wheel 61. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the sliding part 731 along the length of the groove 63. The sliding rod passes through the connecting part 732 and is slidably connected to it.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 A fine-tuning screw 735, parallel to the slide rod, is rotatably connected to the sliding part 731. The fine-tuning screw 735 passes through the connecting part 732 and is threadedly connected to the connecting part 732. Under the support and limiting action of the slide rod, when the fine-tuning screw 735 is rotated, the fine-tuning screw 735 drives the connecting part 732 to move closer to or away from the sliding part 731. A rotating ring 71 is sleeved on the outside of the conical wheel 61 and is rotatably connected to the conical wheel 61 on the same axis. A push rod 72 corresponds to a mounting seat 73, and one end of the push rod 72 is hinged to the rotating ring 71, and the other end is hinged to the connecting part 732. The conical wheel 61 has a relief cavity for avoiding the push rod 72. Under the limiting action of the slide groove 63, when the rotating ring 71 is rotated, the rotating ring 71 drives the mounting seat 73 to move closer to or away from the axis of the conical wheel 61 along the slide groove 63 via the push rod 72.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The conical wheel 61 is equipped with a rotating component, which includes a bevel ring 641, a bevel gear 642, and a clamping component 643. The bevel ring 641 is coaxially fixed with the rotating ring 71, the bevel gear 642 meshes with the bevel ring 641, and a round rod is coaxially fixed to the bevel gear 642. The conical wheel 61 is fixedly connected to a support block 65, and the support block 65 has a round hole corresponding to the round rod. The round rod passes through the round hole and rotates around its own axis under the support of the support block 65. When it is necessary to rotate the rotating ring 71, the operator can rotate the bevel gear 642.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6The support block 65 is provided with a clamping element 643, which includes a clamping bolt 6431, a clamping block 6432 and an elastic element 6433. The support block 65 has a movable cavity that communicates with the circular hole along the radial direction of the circular rod. The clamping block 6432 is located in the movable cavity and is slidably connected to the support block 65 in the direction close to or away from the circular rod. Several closely arranged slots are opened on the outer side of the circular rod in the circumferential direction. The clamping block 6432 is fixedly connected with a corresponding slot. When the slot is inserted into any slot, the rotation of the bevel gear 642 around its own axis is restricted.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second elastic element 6433 is a spring. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping block 6432, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support block 65. In its natural state, the second elastic element 6433 drives the clamping block 6432 away from the round rod. The clamping bolt 6431 is located on the side of the clamping block 6432 away from the round rod, and the clamping bolt 6431 is threadedly connected to the support block 65. When the clamping bolt 6431 is tightened, the clamping bolt 6431 pushes the clamping block 6432 closer to the round rod. By adjusting the clamping bolt 6431, the bevel gear 642 can be positioned.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 The sliding part 731 has an adjustment groove 733, which is perpendicular to the sliding groove 63. The sliding block 74 is located in the adjustment groove 733 and is slidably connected to the sliding part 731 along the length of the adjustment groove 733. The sliding part 731 limits the sliding block through the adjustment groove 733, so that the sliding block moves synchronously when the sliding part 731 moves. The sliding part 731 is rotatably connected to a moving screw 734 parallel to the adjustment groove 733. The moving screw 734 passes through the sliding block 74 and is threadedly connected to the sliding block 74. By rotating the moving screw 734, the sliding block 74 can be pushed to move along the length of the adjustment groove 733.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 The anti-slip tooth 62 includes a locking tooth portion 621 and a rotating rod portion 622. The locking tooth portion 621 is adapted to the gap between two adjacent anti-slip blocks 51. The rotating rod portion 622 is fixedly connected to one end of the locking tooth portion 621 along its length and passes through the sliding block 74 and is rotatably connected to the sliding block 74. Under the connecting action of the rotating rod portion 622, when the sliding block 74 moves, it drives the locking tooth portion 621 to move synchronously, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the locking tooth portion 621, so that the locking tooth portion 621 can be used with transmission belts 5 with different rotation radii.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7A positioning tube 741 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding block 74 opposite to the locking tooth part 621. The rotating rod part 622 passes through the positioning tube 741 and is rotatably connected to a threaded tube 624. In the initial state, the threaded tube 624 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning tube 741 and threadedly connected to the positioning tube 741, thereby restricting the relative movement of the positioning tube 741 and the rotating rod part 622 along the axial direction. Several positioning grooves 742 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the positioning tube 741. Several positioning blocks 623 that are adapted to the positioning grooves 742 are fixedly connected circumferentially on the outer surface of the rotating rod part 622. When the positioning blocks 623 are inserted into the positioning grooves 742, the rotation of the rotating rod part 622 around its own axis is restricted. A gap is left between the locking tooth part 621 and the sliding block 74, so that the locking tooth part 621 has room to move closer to the sliding block 74.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 When it is necessary to adjust the deflection angle of the toothed part 621, first rotate the threaded tube 624 to release the restriction of the rotating rod part 622 along the axial direction. Then push the toothed part 621 towards the sliding block 74 to make the positioning block 623 disengage from the positioning groove 742. At this time, rotate the rotating rod part 622 to make the positioning block 623 cooperate with different positioning grooves 742 to adjust the deflection angle of the toothed part 621, thereby further improving the adjustable range of the toothed part 621.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A tensioning element is also provided on the cable management plate 4, which includes a traction wheel 81, a measuring wheel 82, an elastic element 83, and a tension detector 84. A bracket 43 is fixedly connected to the cable management plate 4, and the bracket 43 is arranged along the winding direction of the wire rope. The portion of the cable management plate 4 with the limiting hole 41 is located in the middle of the bracket 43. The traction wheel 81 is located on the side of the bracket 43 away from the winding wheel 3. A support shaft is slidably connected to the bracket 43 vertically. The traction wheel 81 is sleeved on the outside of the support shaft and rotatably connected to it. Before the wire rope passes through the limiting hole 41, it first winds around the traction wheel 81. The bracket 43 is provided with a lifting element 44 for driving the support shaft to move vertically. In this embodiment, the lifting element 44 is a motor screw mechanism, which is a commonly used power component in the art and will not be described in detail here. In the initial state, the traction wheel 81 and the limiting hole 41 are at different heights, and the wire rope is in a tensioned state.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The bracket 43 has a second support shaft near the winding reel 3. Movable blocks are fitted at both ends of the second support shaft. The bracket 43 has a vertically opening groove, and the movable blocks are located within the groove and slidably connected to the bracket 43 along the groove. The measuring wheel 82 is fitted onto the outside of the second support shaft and is rotatably connected to it. When the second support shaft moves vertically, it drives the measuring wheel 82 to move synchronously. After passing through the limiting hole 41, the wire rope winds around the measuring wheel 82 again and then extends towards the winding reel 3. Initially, the measuring wheel 82 is positioned at the middle of the winding reel 3. During winding, while the wire rope is taut, it applies a vertical force to the measuring wheel 82.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The elastic element 83 is also a spring, with one end fixedly connected to the movable block and the other end fixedly connected to the bracket 43. The elastic element 83 supports the movable block in its natural state. The tension detector 84 is mounted on the bracket 43, and the detection end of the tension detector 84 is connected to the movable block, thereby measuring the vertical tension borne by the measuring wheel 82 through the movable block.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The tension detector 84 is connected to the lifting component 44. When the tension detected by the tension detector 84 is greater than a preset range, the tension detector 84 generates an electrical signal and transmits the signal to the lifting component 44. At this time, the lifting component 44 drives the traction wheel 81 to move vertically closer to the limit hole 41, thereby loosening the wire rope and reducing its tension. When the tension detected by the tension detector 84 is less than the preset range, the lifting component 44 drives the traction wheel 81 to move vertically further away from the limit hole 41, thereby tightening the wire rope. Thus, during the winding process, the tension of the wire rope is maintained within the preset range.

[0065] The working principle of a gantry-type wire rope winding machine for wire rope production according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the rotation of the reciprocating screw 12 and the rotation of the winding wheel 3 are synchronized by the transmission belt 5, so that the winding process of the wire rope and the adjustment process of the wire rope by the wire guide plate 4 are synchronized. By setting two sets of conical wheels 61, it is convenient to adjust the transmission ratio between the winding wheel 3 and the reciprocating screw 12, thus facilitating the winding of wire ropes of different diameters without changing the transmission components. The anti-slip teeth 62 on the conical wheels 61 cooperate with the transmission belt 5, thereby reducing the probability of slippage between the transmission belt 5 and the conical wheels 61 and improving the transmission stability between the transmission belt 5 and the conical wheels 61. The position of the anti-slip teeth 62 can be adjusted, so that after adjusting the transmission ratio of the transmission belt 5, the anti-slip teeth 62 can still be adapted to the anti-slip block 51, which is suitable for winding wire ropes of different diameters, thereby improving the ease of use of the winding machine.

[0066] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
