Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent sensing and parameter identification technology, specifically relating to an integrated dynamic measurement device and method for the state of a pulley-type rope. Background Technology

[0002] Rope-driven robots, such as those used in port cranes, mine hoists, and electric shovels, are core equipment in industrial production, logistics, and energy development. Their operational accuracy, load-bearing safety, and work efficiency directly depend on the mechanical properties and stability of the core transmission component, the rope. As the medium for force and motion transmission, the rope's equivalent stiffness, Young's modulus, and other characteristic parameters dynamically change with load properties, environmental temperature and humidity, and wear fatigue. Failure to accurately and in real-time monitor these rope parameters can easily lead to large positioning errors, uneven load distribution, and even safety risks such as rope breakage and load falls.

[0003] Existing rope parameter identification technologies typically include offline and online measurement schemes. Offline measurement schemes apply standard loads to rope samples using a tensile testing machine and measure the stress-strain relationship to identify Young's modulus. However, laboratory environments often differ significantly from actual working conditions, leading to parameter identification results that do not accurately reflect real-world conditions. Online measurement schemes typically use tension sensors to measure rope tension and displacement sensors to measure rope deformation. However, these additional tension and displacement sensors are prone to damage from overload and vibration, have short average lifespans, poor integration, and consume considerable space.

[0004] In rope-driven robots, the core function of a fixed pulley is to support the rope and change the direction of force; it lacks parameter sensing and identification capabilities. During robot operation, the fixed pulley acts only as a passive transmission component, unable to provide the control system with dynamic rope parameters. Therefore, we propose an integrated device and method for pulley-type rope parameter identification and multi-state dynamic measurement. This device can replace the original fixed pulley system, dynamically identifying parameters such as tension, deformation, equivalent stiffness, and Young's modulus of the rope in real time. Based on multi-dimensional information, it provides intelligent early warning of rope breakage or fatigue, can withstand large loads, and has a high degree of integration. Summary of the Invention

Multiple first-positioning grooves are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the internal gear. A first-positioning block corresponding to a first-positioning groove is fixedly disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the sliding sleeve. One side of the internal gear contacts an adjacent annular retaining ring, and the other side contacts a limiting block. The limiting block is fixedly disposed on another sliding sleeve. The internal gear is meshed with a pinion. The pinion is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the measuring encoder, which is fixedly mounted on a connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixedly mounted on a flange shaft, which is fixedly connected to an adjacent small disc. A clamping ring is fitted on the outer circumference of the large disc with the double-layer end cap. A rotational clearance is reserved between the clamping ring and the sliding sleeve. Multiple mounting ears are evenly fixed on the clamping ring. A clamping electric cylinder is installed between two corresponding mounting ears on the left and right sides.

[0008] Furthermore, a through hole is formed along the axis of the central shaft. The through hole is divided into three sections.

The through hole of the middle section is located between two double-layer end caps.

[0009] Furthermore, the strain gauge assembly is attached to the outer circumference of the central axis using a three-gauge right-angle strain rosette method.

[0010] Furthermore, the pre-tightening adjustment ring assembly includes two symmetrically arranged adjustment rings. An arc-shaped rope groove is provided on the opposite surface of the adjustment ring for securing the rope. Multiple No. 3 limit blocks are evenly arranged on the inner circumference of the adjustment ring. No. 3 limit grooves are provided on both sliding sleeves, which correspond to each other and are spliced ​​together, allowing the No. 3 limit blocks to slide.

[0011] An integrated dynamic measurement method for the state of pulley-type ropes includes the following steps:

[0012] S1, The pulley-type rope state integrated dynamic measurement device is installed on the rope-driven robot. One end of the rope is connected to the winch, and the other end of the rope is connected to the load after passing through the pre-tensioning adjustment ring group.

[0013] S2, the controller of the rope-driven robot sends a pre-tensioning command to the signal transceiver module, which then transmits the signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller controls multiple clamping electric cylinders to contract synchronously, causing two adjusting rings in the pre-tensioning adjusting ring group to move closer together, increasing the clamping force on the rope. At the same time, the microcontroller continuously generates timestamps. ;

[0014] S3, during the operation of the rope-driven robot, the rope drives the preload adjusting ring and sliding sleeve to rotate through the clamping force, which in turn drives the internal gear to rotate. The rotation of the internal gear drives the small gear to rotate, and the encoder records the rotation angle of the small gear. Measure the angle by which the encoder rotates the pinion. The data is transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0015] S4, the signal transceiver module receives information from the winch encoder on the winch in real time to obtain the driving length of the rope. and drive length The data is transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0016] S5, Obtain the magnitude of the bending strain of the central shaft using a strain gauge set. and direction and will and The value is passed to the microcontroller;

[0017] S6, the real-time length of the rope is the sum of the driving length and the deformation length of the rope, and the real-time length of the rope is expressed as: ;in, It is the vertical distance from the lower end of the arc-shaped rope groove to the central axis. This represents the number of teeth on the internal gear. This represents the number of teeth on the pinion.

[0018] The effective tension end length of the rope from the point of tangency leaving the winch drum to the point of tangency leaving the arc-shaped rope groove can be expressed as: ;in, The effective tension end length of the rope from the point of tangency when it leaves the drum of the winch to the point of tangency when it enters the arc-shaped rope groove; The central angle is the angle corresponding to the tensioned section of the rope from the point of tangency when it enters the arc groove to the vertical apex of the arc groove.

[0019] The deformation of a rope can be expressed as: ;

[0020] The resultant force transmitted from the two double-layered end caps to the central axis can be expressed as: ;in, The elastic modulus of the central axis; The outer diameter of the first outer shaft segment; This refers to the inner diameter of the through hole in the middle section; The distance between the point where the double-layer end cap applies force to the central axis and the point where the support rests on the central axis;

[0021] The tension in a single rope can be expressed as: ; The number of ropes;

[0022] The Young's modulus of a rope can be expressed as: ; Let be the cross-sectional area of ​​the rope;

[0023] The equivalent stiffness of a rope can be expressed as: ; This is the elasticity correction factor for the rope;

[0024] The S7 microcontroller provides real-time warnings of rope breakage and fatigue risks, enabling real-time monitoring and risk alerts for the rope's condition.

[0025] When the tension on a single rope Exceeding the rope's safe tensile strength threshold When the cable is at 70% capacity, the microcontroller outputs a cable breakage risk signal.

[0026] When the rope deformation exceeds the rope's deformation threshold, i.e. At that time, the microcontroller outputs a cable breakage risk signal;

[0027] When the Young's modulus of the rope decreases by more than 10%, that is At that time, the microcontroller outputs a fatigue risk signal;

[0028] When the change in the equivalent stiffness of the rope exceeds 15%, that is... At that time, the microcontroller outputs a fatigue risk signal.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0030] This invention fully integrates load-bearing guidance, parameter identification, and intelligent early warning functions, replacing the original fixed pulley system. It can significantly save equipment installation space and improve the accuracy of parameter measurement and identification, solving the problems of disconnect between offline testing schemes and actual conditions, and poor integration of online measurement schemes.

[0031] The support, central shaft, and other structures in this invention are compatible with the existing fixed pulley installation interface, eliminating the need to modify the main structure of the rope-driven robot and allowing for replacement. The strain gauge group, measuring encoder, and microcontroller are all built-in, making them less prone to damage and solving the problems of short lifespan and difficult replacement of external sensors in traditional offline testing solutions.

[0032] This invention transmits motion through a rope, a pre-tensioning adjustment ring group, a sliding sleeve, an internal gear, a pinion, and a measuring encoder, while simultaneously clamping the rope with a clamping electric cylinder. There are no additional intermediate adapters, thus avoiding the gap errors caused by the multi-stage splicing in traditional solutions.

[0033] This invention uses strain gauges and a measuring encoder to collaboratively collect the dynamic parameters of the rope and provides real-time warnings of risks such as rope breakage and fatigue. This solves the problem that traditional fixed pulleys cannot monitor the dynamic parameters of the rope in real time and cannot predict rope risks and fatigue risks, which can easily lead to safety accidents.
