Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rotary joints, in particular to a hybrid rotary joint and an electro-hydraulic reel. Background Art

[0002] A cable reel winds a cable with an extremely long length on the reel. When in use, the cable on the reel is released and unfolded, and when not in use, the cable or flexible pipeline is wound on the reel.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to ensure the normal transmission of current when the reel rotates, an electric slip ring is adopted, which is also called a rotary electrical joint or a conductive slip ring. It is a key device for realizing the power and signal transmission between rotating and stationary components. It is usually installed at the rotation center of the equipment and mainly consists of two major parts: rotating and stationary. These two parts are respectively called the rotor and the stator. The rotor is connected to the rotating structure of the equipment and rotates therewith, and the stator is connected to the fixed part of the equipment and is responsible for transmitting energy. During the rotation process, the conductive material between the rotor and the stator realizes the power transmission through the contact points.

[0004] However, with the cross-development of electric control and hydraulic control technologies, there are more and more working scenarios that require the simultaneous transmission of electrical signals and fluid media such as hydraulic oil. However, the existing cable reels have relatively single functions and cannot meet the transportation of fluid media such as hydraulic oil at the same time, so corresponding reels have to be added separately; and during the construction operation process, when the two reels are set at the same time, it occupies the space of the construction site, making the construction site messy and may affect the construction operation, and may even cause certain accidents.
