TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of non-destructive testing equipment, in particular to a steel wire rope testing equipment for heavy lifting equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] The super-high all-steel structure tower refers to a tower building whose main structure is entirely constructed with steel. During the construction process, heavy lifting equipment is needed to hoist the materials required for the tower to a high place for installation. During the hoisting operation, the steel wire rope needs to be repeatedly wound and unwound and continuously subjected to the pulling of the weight of the steel member, which is extremely prone to wire breakage defects. If the number of broken wires within one lay of the steel wire rope exceeds the specified standard, it will significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of the steel wire rope and may cause hoisting accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly conduct non-destructive testing and detection of the steel wire rope. For example, the patent with the authorization number CN210834761U discloses a steel wire rope testing instrument.
[0003] Currently, before using the steel wire rope testing equipment for heavy lifting equipment, the staff needs to manually remove the oil stains, dust, rust debris and other impurities attached to the surface. Otherwise, these attachments will form a "signal barrier layer" between the sensor and the steel wire rope, affecting the detection accuracy. However, the steel wire rope of heavy lifting equipment is usually long and widely laid, and manual cleaning is not only cumbersome and labor-intensive, but also significantly increases the labor intensity of the staff, prolongs the preparation period for testing, and seriously reduces the convenience and overall detection efficiency of non-destructive testing. In addition, the current steel wire rope testing equipment for non-destructive testing of heavy lifting equipment steel wire rope also has poor outdoor environmental interference resistance. For example, in a high-temperature environment in summer, the surface temperature of the steel wire rope is too high (exceeding 40 degrees Celsius). The high temperature will change the electromagnetic properties of the steel wire rope (such as a decrease in magnetic permeability), causing the magnetic field strength and distribution of the testing equipment to be abnormal, causing the amplitude and phase of the defect signals such as wire breakage and wear to shift, making it difficult to accurately determine the defect type and severity. At the same time, high temperatures can weaken the sensitivity of the testing instrument sensors (such as Hall elements and ultrasonic probes), which may cause data drift and reduced detection accuracy. Under the condition that the surface grooves of the steel wire rope are not completely dry, the accumulated water in the surface grooves of the steel wire rope will fill the small defects (such as shallow wear grooves and fine cracks) on the surface of the steel wire rope, covering the true form of the defects, making it difficult for the non-destructive testing equipment to effectively identify them, resulting in missed detection. In addition, the accumulated water will hinder signal transmission, causing the magnetic leakage field signals generated by the defects to be weakened or distorted, affecting the accuracy of the detection results of the steel wire rope non-destructive testing equipment, and even increasing the probability of steel wire rope breakage accidents, affecting the safety of super-high all-steel structure tower construction by heavy lifting equipment.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of a wire rope flaw detection device for heavy lifting equipment are: 1. Through the established closing mechanism, air supply mechanism, Y-shaped air duct, and inclined jet nozzle, when the wire rope of heavy hoisting equipment used in the construction of ultra-high all-steel structure towers needs to undergo non-destructive testing, the wire rope first passes through the main body of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument on one side and is positioned by the closing mechanism. Then, as the wire rope passes through the instrument, the instrument performs non-destructive testing. If defects are found, they are displayed on a handheld terminal. Simultaneously, an arc-shaped wire brush removes impurities adhering to the wire rope surface. Furthermore, the air supply mechanism blows air onto the surface of the wire rope. When air is discharged through the gap between the arc-shaped rubber block and the wire rope, it not only blows away impurities or water temporarily stored in the grooves on the surface of the wire rope, but also carries away impurities brushed up by the arc-shaped wire brush, ensuring the surface of the wire rope is clean and preventing the formation of a "signal blocking layer" on the surface of the wire rope that would interfere with non-destructive testing. Moreover, the entire wire rope cleaning process is completed automatically during the non-destructive testing of the wire rope. This mechanism enables the non-destructive testing equipment for heavy lifting equipment to have the function of automatic cleaning and drying of the wire rope, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the testing personnel, but also shortens the preparation cycle for non-destructive testing, effectively improving the convenience and efficiency of non-destructive testing of wire ropes.
[0016] 2、By setting the temperature control mechanism and steel wire rope infrared temperature sensor, the steel wire rope of heavy lifting equipment enters the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body for nondestructive testing, the steel wire rope infrared temperature sensor measures the temperature of the surface of the steel wire rope, and the temperature is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the PLC controller, if the temperature detected by the steel wire rope infrared temperature sensor is lower than the low temperature threshold preset by the PLC controller, the temperature control mechanism raises the temperature of the air in the temperature control area, and forms hot air, which can not only improve the molecular movement of the impurities attached to the surface of the steel wire rope, thereby achieving the purpose of "softening" the impurities, and improving the cleaning effect of the impurities on the surface of the steel wire rope in low temperature environment, but also can raise the temperature of the steel wire rope to a suitable detection temperature range, which can avoid the abnormal fluctuation of the magnetic permeability of the steel wire rope caused by low temperature, and prevent the ice or condensate water remaining on the surface of the steel wire rope in low temperature from interfering with the detection, so that the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body can capture the defect signal more accurately, and improve the reliability of the detection result, if the temperature detected by the steel wire rope infrared temperature sensor exceeds the high temperature threshold preset by the PLC controller, the temperature control mechanism lowers the temperature of the air in the temperature control area, and forms low temperature air, which can lower the temperature of the steel wire rope, avoid the case that the high temperature changes the electromagnetic characteristics of the steel wire rope, and ensure that the magnetic field strength and distribution of the detection equipment will not be abnormal, the mechanism makes the equipment have the function of temperature regulation of the surface of the steel wire rope, improves the environmental interference resistance of the equipment, and further improves the accuracy of the nondestructive testing of the steel wire rope of the heavy lifting equipment, reduces the probability of the fracture of the steel wire rope of the heavy lifting equipment, and ensures the safety of the heavy lifting equipment in the construction of the super-high all-steel structure tower.
[0017] 3、By setting the defect marking mechanism, when the staff finds that the steel wire rope has defects through the handheld display terminal, the staff sends instructions to the PLC controller in time through the handheld display terminal, the PLC controller controls the normally closed electromagnetic valve to be energized and conductive for 3 seconds in time, during the 3 seconds, part of the air in the three-way pipe enters the liquid storage area through the second air pipe and the normally closed electromagnetic valve which is energized and conductive, and the air pressure at the top of the liquid storage area is increased, the high air pressure squeezes the color marking liquid in the color marking liquid layer in the liquid storage area into the liquid guide pipe, and finally the color marking liquid is sprayed to the surface of the steel wire rope through the nozzle, and during the subsequent maintenance of the steel wire rope, the maintenance personnel can quickly locate and find the defect position of the steel wire rope according to the color marking liquid, and the staff also does not need to mark the defects by bundling the markers with the ribbon, the mechanism makes the equipment have the function of automatic marking of the defects of the steel wire rope, and can effectively improve the convenience and efficiency of the nondestructive testing of the steel wire rope by the equipment.

The above-mentioned electrical connections and energized elements are prior art and will not be described here.
[0030] The operating principle of the application is described as follows: when the heavy lifting equipment steel wire rope used for ultra-high all-steel structure tower construction needs to be nondestructively tested, first, the steel wire rope of the heavy lifting equipment passes through the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1, at the same time, the staff selects matching inner bushings for the inner walls of the upper and lower parts of the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1 according to the outer diameter size of the steel wire rope, to ensure the stability of the steel wire rope during the process of passing through the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1, and to ensure the accuracy of the nondestructive testing results of the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1. Then, the upper and lower parts of the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1 are closed and positioned by the closing mechanism 5. At this time, the staff first presses the stop block 52 and pushes the special-shaped insertion rod 55 away from the insertion ring 53, and at the same time, the reset spring 54 is compressed by the stop block 52 to store energy. When the upper and lower parts of the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1 are closed, the staff releases the stop block 52. At this time, the bottom side end of the special-shaped insertion rod 55 is inserted into the insertion ring 53 under the rebounding force of the reset spring 54, thereby achieving the purpose of positioning. Moreover, during the closing process of the upper and lower parts of the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1, the arc-shaped bottom plate 11 and the arc-shaped top plate 10 also move closer to each other. The arc-shaped top plate 10 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 11 are limited by the closing mechanism 5 and are also auxiliary constrained by the strip-shaped magic needle hair stickers 18 and the strip-shaped magic cotton hair stickers 19, thereby improving the stability of the closing of the arc-shaped top plate 10 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 11. The steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1 and the PLC controller 23 are connected with the handheld display terminal 3 through the data line 2, and the steel wire rope nondestructive testing instrument main body 1 is started to prepare for the subsequent nondestructive testing of the steel wire rope. During the process of the wire rope of the heavy lifting equipment passing through the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument, the electromagnetic induction coil built into the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument generates a stable magnetic field, which magnetizes the wire rope. When the wire rope has defects such as broken wires, wear, or corrosion, a leakage magnetic field will be generated at the defect. The Hall element or magnetic sensor inside the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument will capture the leakage magnetic field signal and convert it into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the PLC controller 23 to detect the wire rope defect. Afterwards, the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument displays the wire rope defect in real time on the display screen of the handheld display terminal 3. Then, the operator controls the defect marking mechanism 9 to work according to the detection results. In addition, the wire rope will also come into contact with two arc-shaped wire brushes 62 during its movement. The arc-shaped wire brushes 62 will brush up the impurities attached to the surface of the wire rope (the impurities can be dust, dirt, excessive lubricating oil, and frost). Meanwhile, staff can also send commands to the PLC controller 23 via the handheld display terminal 3. After receiving the commands, the PLC controller 23 controls the micro air pump 71 to work. The micro air pump 71 draws in a large amount of outside air through the filter screen 72. The outside air is injected into the temperature control zone 15 through the three-way pipe 73 and the first air pipe 74. Finally, a large amount of air is sprayed into the cleaning cavity formed by the arc-shaped top plate 10 and the arc-shaped bottom plate 11 for automatic cleaning of the wire rope through the Y-shaped air guide pipe 85, the arc-shaped hollow block 86 and the inclined air jet hole 87. At this time, due to the obstruction of the arc-shaped rubber block 20, the air in the cleaning cavity is discharged slowly, which greatly increases the air pressure in the cleaning cavity. Finally, the high-pressure air will pass through the gap between the arc-shaped rubber block 20 and the wire rope. (The size range of the gap is 5-10 mm) It is quickly discharged. If the outer diameter of the wire rope is too thick, a small arc-shaped rubber block 20 can be selected. The high-pressure air discharge process not only blows away the impurities or water temporarily stored in the grooves on the surface of the wire rope, but also carries away the impurities brushed up by the arc-shaped wire brush 62, ensuring that the surface of the wire rope is clean and will not form a "signal blocking layer" on the surface of the wire rope to interfere with the non-destructive testing. Moreover, the entire wire rope cleaning process is automatically completed during the non-destructive testing of the wire rope. This mechanism enables the non-destructive testing equipment for heavy lifting equipment to have the function of automatic cleaning and drying of the wire rope. It not only reduces the labor intensity of the testing personnel, but also shortens the preparation cycle for non-destructive testing, effectively improving the convenience and efficiency of non-destructive testing of wire rope.
[0031] When the wire rope of the heavy lifting equipment enters the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument for non-destructive testing, the infrared temperature sensor 4 of the wire rope measures the temperature of the wire rope surface and converts the temperature into an electrical signal and sends it to the PLC controller 23. If the temperature detected by the infrared temperature sensor 4 is lower than the low temperature threshold preset by the PLC controller 23 (such as -5 degrees Celsius), the PLC controller 23 promptly controls the electric heating tube 81 to work. The electric heating tube 81 expands the heating area through multiple metal mesh sheets 82, thereby improving the efficiency of temperature rise in the temperature control zone 15 and the efficiency of temperature rise of the air entering the temperature control zone 15. Then, the heated air passes through the Y-shaped air guide pipe 85 and the arc-shaped hollow block 86. The hot air is injected into the cleaning cavity through the inclined jet hole 87. At this time, the hot air can not only increase the molecular movement of impurities attached to the surface of the wire rope, thereby "softening" the impurities and improving the cleaning effect of impurities on the surface of the wire rope in low temperature environment, but also raise the temperature of the wire rope to a suitable detection temperature range (such as 5-35 degrees Celsius). This temperature range can avoid abnormal fluctuations in the magnetic permeability of the wire rope material caused by low temperature, ensure that the magnetic field generated by the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument is uniform and stable, reduce the interference noise of leakage magnetic field signal, and prevent the frost or condensation water remaining on the surface of the wire rope at low temperature from interfering with the detection. This allows the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument to capture defect signals more accurately and improve the reliability of the testing results. If the temperature detected by the infrared temperature sensor 4 of the wire rope exceeds the preset high-temperature threshold (e.g., 40 degrees Celsius) of the PLC controller 23, the PLC controller 23 promptly controls the operation of the semiconductor cooling chip 84 and the cooling fan 22. The cooling side of the semiconductor cooling chip 84 reduces the temperature of the temperature control zone 15 through the metal frame 83 and the metal mesh 82, thereby facilitating the reduction of the air temperature entering the temperature control zone 15. Then, the cooled air is injected into the cleaning cavity through the Y-shaped air guide pipe 85, the arc-shaped hollow block 86, and the inclined jet hole 87. At this time, the low-temperature air can reduce the temperature of the wire rope, preventing the wire rope from changing its own electromagnetic properties (e.g., a decrease in magnetic permeability) due to excessively high temperatures, thus ensuring the safety of the wire rope. The magnetic field strength and distribution of the flaw detection equipment will not be abnormal, and the amplitude and phase of defect signals such as broken wires and wear will not shift, accurately determining the type and severity of defects. Furthermore, the low-temperature air can also provide high-temperature protection for the sensitive elements inside the main body 1 of the wire rope non-destructive testing instrument, avoiding potential data drift and decreased detection accuracy. This mechanism enables the equipment to regulate the surface temperature of the wire rope, improving its resistance to environmental interference, thereby enhancing the accuracy of non-destructive testing of wire ropes in heavy lifting equipment, reducing the probability of wire rope breakage accidents in heavy lifting equipment, and ensuring the safety of heavy lifting equipment in the construction of ultra-high all-steel structure towers.
[0032] When a worker discovers a defect in the wire rope through a handheld display terminal 3, the worker promptly sends a command to the PLC controller 23 via the handheld display terminal 3. The PLC controller 23 then energizes the normally closed solenoid valve 76 for 3 seconds. During these 3 seconds, some air inside the three-way pipe 73 enters the liquid storage area 13 through the second air pipe 75 and the activated normally closed solenoid valve 76, increasing the air pressure at the top of the liquid storage area 13. The high air pressure forces the color marking liquid layer 93 in the liquid storage area 13 into the guide pipe 91, and finally, the color marking liquid passes through the nozzle 92. When sprayed onto the surface of the wire rope, maintenance personnel can quickly locate defects in the wire rope based on the color-coded marking liquid during subsequent maintenance. This eliminates the need for workers to use cable ties to mark defects, saving time and effort. After 3 seconds, the normally closed solenoid valve 76 is de-energized and closes, preventing the pressure in the storage area 13 from increasing and stopping the color-coded marking liquid from being sprayed from the nozzle 92. This mechanism enables the equipment to automatically mark wire rope defects, further reducing the workload of workers and effectively improving the convenience and efficiency of non-destructive testing of wire ropes.
