Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical equipment manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an automatic sling loop winding device. This invention also relates to a winding method for the automatic sling loop winding device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, machinery that uses the scaling of steel wire ropes to traction or lift heavy objects uses a single steel wire rope as raw material, with both ends forming a specific structure according to specific processes; this is called a steel wire rope sling. The lifting of objects using steel wire rope slings typically employs methods such as spliced ​​slings, pressed slings, and seamless rope loops.

[0003] Existing wire rope slings mainly include pressed wire rope slings, spliced ​​wire rope slings, cable slings, and slings. Pressed and spliced ​​wire rope slings generally have poor flexibility. For slings bearing a certain load, due to the limitation of the wire rope diameter, the eye loops need to be large, and the distance between two eye loops must be greater than a certain length. The eye loops provide additional connection strength and stability, making the sling easier to use with hooks or other connecting equipment. These slings are heavy, making them inconvenient for workers to operate. Cable slings and slings, due to their larger diameter, in addition to the shortcomings of pressed and spliced ​​wire rope slings, also have complex manufacturing processes, often resulting in twisting phenomena and difficulty in controlling length errors. When lifting lighter loads using a single wire rope sling, since the length of the wire rope sling cannot be changed, different lengths of wire rope slings must be used when the lifting environment and space change; frequent changes in wire rope lengths are very time-consuming.

[0004] During the production process, wire rope slings need to be bent, wrapped, and then pressed into shape. Currently, bending and wrapping in the domestic wire rope production process are basically done manually. As wire rope specifications develop towards higher load-bearing capacity, the diameter of the wire rope increases accordingly, making manual bending and wrapping increasingly difficult. The structure is complex, heavy, and the increased height also increases its own weight, resulting in a greater system weight. This operation method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and may pose safety hazards, while also affecting and hindering the performance of efficient machinery.

[0005] Therefore, developing a device that can automatically bend and wrap ropes is of great significance for improving work efficiency and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sling loop winding device, which solves the problems of large workload and low efficiency of existing bending and winding ropes.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a rope winding method for an automatic sling loop rope winding device.

[0008] The first technical solution adopted in this invention is: an automatic sling loop winding device, including a rope feeding device and a rope winding device arranged opposite to each other, a clamping device is provided between the rope feeding device and the rope winding device, and the rope feeding device, the rope winding device and the clamping device are electrically connected to a control system, which is used to control the operation of the rope feeding device, the rope winding device and the clamping device.

[0009] The first technical solution of the present invention is further characterized in that, The rope feeding device includes a rope feeding frame, a rope feeding stroke cylinder is horizontally installed at one end of the rope feeding frame, a rope feeding guide rail is installed along a straight line extending from the telescopic end of the rope feeding stroke cylinder, a slider a is slidably engaged in the rope feeding guide rail, a movable clamping device is installed on the slider a, the movable clamping device is used to clamp the wire rope, and the rope feeding stroke cylinder is connected to the control system.

[0012] The lifting device includes two lifting guide rails, which are vertically mounted on a movable support. A support plate is mounted on the top of the two lifting guide rails, and a lifting cylinder is mounted at the center of the support plate. The piston end of the lifting cylinder is vertically connected to the lifting platform, and the lifting guide rails are sleeved at both ends of the lifting platform. The lifting cylinder is connected to the control system.

[0013] The rotating device includes a swing cylinder, which is mounted on the lifting platform. A swing arm is installed on the output shaft at the bottom of the swing cylinder, and the swing cylinder is connected to the control system.

[0014] A clamping clamp b is installed on the end of the swing arm away from the swing cylinder. The clamping clamp b is connected to the clamping cylinder b, which is fixed on the swing arm and connected to the control system.

[0015] Both the rope feeding frame and the rope winding frame adopt a rectangular rigid frame structure; both the rope feeding guide rail and the rope winding guide rail adopt two parallel linear guide rails, and the central axes of the two linear guide rails are located on the same straight line.
