At the same time, the friction and damage of the pulley to the cable are also more obvious. Sometimes, due to operator misoperation, failure of limit switches at both ends, and other external force reasons, the wire rope may be out of control and other faults, causing the tensile force on the wire rope to reach the design limit, resulting in rope breakage or damage to on-site equipment.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The weight 4 includes a guide member 41, a weight support 42, and a counterweight mechanism 43. There are two groups of the guide members 41. One group of the guide members 41 is arranged at the top of the weight support 42, and the other group of the guide members 41 is arranged on one side of the weight support 42. The counterweight mechanism 43 is connected to the two groups of guide members 41 and the weight support 42 through the steel wire rope 3.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The counterweight mechanism 43 pulls the pulley 2 through the secondary steel wire rope 32. The pulley 2 pulls the shunting winch 1 through the secondary steel wire rope 32. The pulley 2 is pulled by the steel wire rope 3 and the shunting winch 1.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The tension detection member 8 is in contact with the secondary steel wire rope 32. Since it is difficult to detect the continuous rotation and operation of the main steel wire rope 31, the tension of the secondary steel wire rope 32 is detected through the tension detection member 8.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: The pressure roller 83 is located below the secondary steel wire rope 32. The pressure roller 83 is a sensing element, and it senses the tension change of the secondary steel wire rope 32 and transmits this acting force to the tension sensor 81.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , in the embodiment of the present utility model: Two groups of the guide rollers 86 are located above the secondary steel wire rope 32. The guide rollers 86 are used to fix the secondary steel wire rope 32 to prevent it from running.

Switches and programmable controllers for supporting the use of various electronic devices are integrated on the control panel, and electric energy is provided to the entire device by an external power supply. It can operate the shunting winch 1 and, at the same time, display the information output by the tension sensor 81 to achieve remote monitoring and send commands according to the monitored shunting winch 1.

[0035] Preferably, the tension sensor 81 is a strain type tension sensor 81 for a roll body commonly used in the prior art. It is a sensor that uses a resistance strain gauge to convert strain into a change in resistance. It is composed of resistance strain sensitive components pasted on an elastic element. When the measured physical quantity acts on the elastic element, the deformation of the elastic element causes a change in the resistance value of the strain sensitive component, and through the conversion circuit, it is converted into a change in electrical quantity to reflect the change in the measured value.

[0036] The working principle is as follows:

[0037] When the shunting winch system is running, the weight 4 on the weight bracket 42 rises and falls continuously to assist the system in tensioning the main wire rope 31. The counterweight mechanism 43 drags the pulley 2 back and forth to make a tensioning action. Since the tensile force of the main wire rope 31 of the shunting winch system is constantly changing, the continuous operation of the main wire rope 31 increases the difficulty of detecting the main wire rope 31. Therefore, the tension detection piece 8 is installed on the auxiliary wire rope 32 to detect the tension on the auxiliary wire rope 32 of the pulley 2. The tension sensor 81 monitors the tension of the auxiliary wire rope 32, collects the data to the control unit 9 and displays it through the control panel. By analyzing the tension value, when the value exceeds the safe range, it can be determined that the tension protection takes effect, an equipment operation stop command is issued, the control circuit is disconnected, and a tension overload alarm is displayed on the control panel to indicate to the staff to check the on-site equipment situation.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a protection device for tension detection applied to a shunting winch system, having the following beneficial effects:

[0039] In the present utility model, by setting the tension detection piece 8, the auxiliary wire rope 32 of the pulley 2 is pulled by the weight 4 to detect its tension. The tension of the auxiliary wire rope 32 is applied through the pressure-bearing roller 83. The force on the pressure-bearing roller 83 is converted into an electrical signal through the resistance change of the tension sensor 81. Later, the control unit 9 analyzes and judges the signal, so as to monitor the tension state of the wire rope 3 in real time, issue corresponding protection commands, avoid the risk of wire rope breakage and other safety accidents, reduce the occurrence of equipment failures, and effectively protect the safety of personnel and equipment.
