Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring tools, in particular to a measuring tool for the diameter of a wire rope. Background Art

[0002] Wire ropes are used on ship cranes. Since the goods carried by ship cranes are relatively heavy, the standards for wire ropes are more stringent. Therefore, it is often necessary to measure and inspect the diameter of wire ropes to check whether the wear degree of the wire ropes has exceeded the specified range of the ship.

[0003] Existing wire rope diameter measuring tools (such as a measuring ruler for measuring the diameter of a wire rope pulley groove and a wire rope disclosed in the patent application No. 2023214976945) can only measure the diameter of wire ropes of specific specifications to judge the wear degree of the wire ropes. Since there are various specifications of wire ropes for cranes, when measuring the diameters of wire ropes of different specifications, compatible measuring tools are required. Although vernier calipers can measure the diameters of wire ropes of different specifications, when using vernier calipers to measure the diameter of a wire rope, it is required to measure at two cross-sections at least 1 m apart on the straight part of the wire rope, and two values are measured in directions perpendicular to each other on the same cross-section. The arithmetic mean of the four measurement results is used as the measured diameter of the wire rope. If necessary, the vernier calipers need to be used for multiple measurements to take the average value, and this data is used to judge whether the wire rope needs to be replaced, which is very troublesome. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] Furthermore, the wire rope diameter measuring tool further includes a measuring seat. The fixed rod is fixedly connected to the measuring seat and encloses a U-shaped receiving groove.

In the direction from the notch of the accommodation groove inward, the width of the measuring groove gradually decreases, which is convenient for connecting each of the driving members 130 to the measuring seat 200, so as to drive each of the movable rods 120 to approach or move away from the fixed rod 110, and it is also convenient for the wire rope to be sequentially clamped into each of the measuring grooves from the notch of the accommodation groove inward.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the driving members 130 are sequentially disposed on the measuring seat 200, and the movable rods 120 are sequentially arranged in parallel on one side of the fixed rod 110. The measuring seat 200 can support each of the driving members 130.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of screw holes 210 are spaced apart on the side wall of the measuring seat 200 corresponding to the fixed rod 110. The driving member 130 is a screw rod 131. The screw rod 131 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 210. Each of the screw rods 131 is respectively vertically disposed on the side of the corresponding movable rod 120 away from the fixed rod 110. One end of each of the screw rods 131 is respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding movable rod 120, and the other end of each of the screw rods 131 respectively passes through the corresponding screw hole 210 and extends out of the accommodation groove. By rotating the screw rod 131 forward or backward, since the screw rod 131 is screwed to the screw hole 210, when the screw rod 131 rotates forward or backward, it will drive the movable rod 120 to approach or move away from the fixed rod 110.

The movement of the guide rod 150 can be limited through the limiting cap 160 to prevent the guide rod 150 from detaching from the measuring seat 200.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The measuring mechanism 100 further includes a plurality of connecting sections 170. Each of the connecting sections 170 is a flexible structure and is respectively arranged between adjacent movable rods 120.

Then, the steel wire rope is clamped into the measuring groove, and according to the measuring groove where the current steel wire rope is located, the wear condition of the steel wire rope is judged. If the diameter of the current steel wire rope is greater than or equal to the diameter of the steel wire rope in the 95% wear state, the wear condition of the steel wire rope is good.

Then, the steel wire rope is clamped into the measuring groove, and according to the measuring groove where the current steel wire rope is located, the wear condition of the steel wire rope is judged. If the diameter of the current steel wire rope is greater than or equal to 26.6 mm, the wear condition of the steel wire rope is good. If the diameter of the current steel wire rope is less than 26.6 mm and greater than or equal to 25.2 mm, the wear condition of the steel wire rope is to be observed. If the diameter of the current steel wire rope is less than 25.2 mm, the steel wire rope needs to be replaced.

Then, the wire rope is clamped into the measuring grooves. According to the measuring groove where the current wire rope is located, the wear condition of the wire rope is judged. If the diameter of the current wire rope is greater than or equal to the diameter of the wire rope in the 95%-wear state, the wear condition of the wire rope is good. If the diameter of the current wire rope is less than the diameter of the wire rope in the 95%-wear state and greater than or equal to the diameter of the wire rope in the 90%-wear state, the wear condition of the wire rope needs to be observed. If the diameter of the current wire rope is less than the diameter of the wire rope in the 90%-wear state, the wire rope needs to be replaced. This wire rope diameter measuring tool can measure the diameters of wire ropes of various specifications to judge the wear degree of the wire ropes, and has strong versatility.
