[0002] Because an underground metal mine was built early, the winch with a drum diameter of 1.6 meters was not equipped with brake shoe gap monitoring. As the standard requirements become increasingly stringent, the winch hoisting system needs to have real-time monitoring and alarm of the brake shoe gap (that is, the gap between the brake and the brake disc) to further improve the reliability of the braking part of the mine hoisting system. Summary of the invention

[0018] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described below according to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] The winch braking device of this embodiment includes a hydraulic station and a disc brake, and the disc brake includes a brake block, a brake body and a brake disc 1; brake blocks and a brake body are arranged on both sides of the brake disc 1, specifically, Figure 1As shown, one side of the brake disc 1 is provided with an inner brake body 2 and an inner brake pad 4, and the other side of the brake disc 1 is provided with an outer brake body 3 and an outer brake pad 5. The inner side of the inner brake body 2 is slidably connected with a piston and the piston ( Figure 1 The structure is simplified, and one end of the piston is not shown) connected to the inner brake block 4. The inner cavity of the inner brake body 2 is connected to the hydraulic station through an oil pipe, and the oil pipe is used to transport hydraulic oil. When the hydraulic oil transported by the hydraulic station through the oil pipe enters the inner brake body 2, it pushes the piston to move, thereby pushing the inner brake block 4 to move toward the brake disc 1 fixed on the reel. Similarly, the inner part of the outer brake body 3 is slidably connected to the piston and one end of the piston is connected to the outer brake block 5. The inner cavity of the outer brake body 3 is connected to the hydraulic station through an oil pipe, and the oil pipe is used to transport hydraulic oil. When the hydraulic oil transported by the hydraulic station through the oil pipe enters the inner part of the outer brake body 3, it pushes the piston to move, thereby pushing the outer brake block 5 to move toward the brake disc 1 fixed on the reel. When the brake blocks on both sides of the inner and outer sides press against the brake disc 1 fixed on the reel, friction braking occurs, thereby achieving a control effect.

[0020] Based on the above winch braking device, this embodiment provides an underground metal mine winch brake shoe gap monitoring system, including a sensor L-shaped base 6, a sensor detection iron plate 8, a displacement sensor 7, a PLC controller, a host computer touch screen and an audible and visual alarm.

[0021] The outer surfaces of the inner brake body 2 and the outer brake body 3 are connected with a sensor base 6, the sensor base 6 is connected with a displacement sensor 7, and the inner brake block 4 and the outer brake block 5 are connected with a sensor detection iron plate 8; the displacement sensor 7 is connected to the input end of the PLC controller, and the output end of the PLC controller is also connected to the upper computer touch screen, the sound and light alarm and the safety circuit of the hoist main control system.

[0022] The sensor base 6 is an L-shaped sensor base, and the outer surfaces of the inner brake body 2 and the outer brake body 3 are connected to the L-shaped sensor base through screws.

[0023] The sensor base 6 is provided with a waist-shaped hole, and the waist-shaped hole on the sensor base 6 is connected to the displacement sensor 7. The waist-shaped hole can better adjust the upper and lower positions of the displacement sensor 7. The sensor detection iron plate 8 is fixed on the inner brake block 4. During the process from brake engagement to brake release, the distance between the displacement sensor 7 and the sensor detection iron plate 8 will change from large to small. The change is the distance between the inner brake block 4 and the brake disc 1, that is, the brake shoe gap value calculated by the PLC controller. The outer brake block 5 has the same action state as the inner brake block 4, and will not be repeated here.

[0024] The output end of the PLC controller is connected to the safety circuit of the hoist main control system through a relay.

[0025] The circuit diagram of the underground metal mine hoist brake shoe gap monitoring system of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the PLC controller includes Siemens S7-200 and AE08 analog input module, and the displacement sensor uses the photoelectric sensor DW-AD-509-M18-390. The models of the host computer touch screen and sound and light alarm use the existing common models, and the relay uses the brake shoe over-limit relay. Among them, the displacement sensor is connected to the AE08 analog input module, Figure 2 Only one displacement sensor is drawn in the figure. If there are multiple displacement sensors, the multiple displacement sensors are connected to the 0+, 0- to 7+, 7- pins of the AE08 analog input module respectively, the AE08 analog input module is connected to the S7-200, the S7-200 is connected to the upper computer touch screen through the network cable, the pins 2M and 0 of the S7-200 are connected to the sound and light alarm, the pins 2M and 1 of the S7-200 are connected to the two ends of the coil in the relay, and the normally open contact of the relay is connected to the safety circuit of the hoist main control system. The PLC controller, displacement sensor, upper computer touch screen, etc. are powered by a 24V power supply.

[0026] The displacement sensor is a high-precision displacement sensor. The high-precision displacement sensor transmits the detected analog signal to the analog input module of the PLC controller. The signal collected by the PLC controller is processed by S7-200 and displayed on the upper computer touch screen. At the same time, the upper computer touch screen also has a brake shoe initial value monitoring screen. When the gap value of a brake shoe in a group exceeds the 2mm specified in the regulations, the sound and light alarm will receive the command issued by the PLC controller. When the gap of a group of brake shoes exceeds the 2mm specified in the regulations, the PLC controller will output the switch value to the safety circuit of the hoist main control system. The upper computer touch screen monitoring screen displays the main screen of the brake shoe gap and the distance between the high-precision displacement sensor and the sensor detection iron plate.

[0027] The high-precision displacement sensor outputs a 4-20mA current signal. When the detection distance of only one high-precision displacement sensor in a group of brakes exceeds 2mm, the sound and light alarm will be activated. When the detection distance of two high-precision displacement sensors in a group of brakes exceeds 2mm, the PLC controller will output the switch quantity to the safety circuit program of the main system of the hoist. The PLC controller completes the processing, calculation and storage of the collected analog data, and controls the sound and light alarm and the main system safety circuit according to the monitoring result output. The upper computer touch screen displays the value of each group of brake shoe gap in real time, providing intuitive numbers for the winch driver. The high-precision displacement sensor completes the collection and processing of the analog quantity required for brake shoe gap detection, and sends it to the PLC controller. The monitoring screen displays the main screen of the brake shoe gap and the distance between the high-precision displacement sensor and the sensor detection iron plate.

[0028] The PLC controller collects the 4-20mA analog current signal of the displacement sensor, and after program operation, transmits the operation result to the upper computer touch screen. The main screen of the touch screen provides the winch driver with an intuitive brake shoe gap value. At the same time, if one of the brake shoes calculated exceeds 2mm, the PLC controller will output a signal to control the sound and light alarm to remind the winch driver. If a group of brake shoes are calculated to exceed 2mm, the PLC controller will output a switch signal to the safety circuit of the main system of the hoist. The safety circuit of the main system of the hoist will automatically cut off the hoist power supply, so that the hoist is braked, reminding the winch driver to detect and repair the brake fault to ensure the effectiveness of the brake function. Two fault actions occur, reducing the possibility of malfunction and ensuring the reliability of the lifting system braking. The auxiliary screen of the upper computer touch screen shows the distance between the high-precision displacement sensor and the sensor detection iron plate to the installation and debugging personnel, which is convenient for installing the sensor so that it can work within the most linear working distance, further ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the collected data.

[0029] Furthermore, the high-precision displacement sensor outputs a 4-20mA current signal with strong anti-interference ability. Even if the wire resistance changes, it will not affect the current size. It also has a sensor disconnection fault function, providing the system with reliable and accurate data.

[0030] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
