[0052] A: Cutting loop. Detailed implementation manner

[0053] For better explaining the present utility model for easy understanding, the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings through specific implementation manners. Among them, the orientation nouns such as "upper" and "lower" mentioned in this article are based on Figure 3 the orientation of

[0054] See Figures 1-5 , the tension detection mechanism proposed in the embodiment of the present utility model includes a tension wheel 1, a swing rod 2, a weight 3 and a pull rope sensor 4.

[0055] The cutting loop A can be wound around the tension wheel 1. The first end of the swing rod 2 is fixedly connected to the tension wheel 1, and the second end of the swing rod 2 is rotatably connected to the weight 3. The pull rope sensor 4 is located above the swing rod 2, and the measuring rope 41 of the pull rope sensor 4 extends and is fixedly connected to the second end of the swing rod 2. When a line arch appears in the cutting loop A and pulls the tension wheel 1 downward, the second end of the swing rod 2 can swing upward around its first end and drive the weight 3 to move upward, and the elongation of the measuring rope 41 shortens.

[0056] Among them, the line arch is shown as the cutting loop A being concave inward. The weight 3 is used to counterweight the tension wheel 1 so that the tension wheel 1 can tension the cutting loop A.

[0057] When the cutting loop A does not cut the workpiece, the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is a fixed value. During the process of the cutting loop A cutting the workpiece, when the tension of the cutting loop A is too large and a line arch appears, the cutting loop A can pull the tension wheel 1 downward, the tension wheel 1 drives the second end of the swing rod 2 to swing upward around the first end of the swing rod 2, and the first end of the swing rod 2 drives the weight 3 to move upward, so that the elongation of the measuring rope 41 shortens. When the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is too large, adjust the cutting process parameters or replace the cutting loop. Thus, the present tension detection mechanism can timely prevent the cutting loop A from breaking.

[0058] It should be noted that the tension value borne by the cutting loop A can be calculated by measuring the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41. When the second end of the swing rod 2 swings around the first end of the swing rod 2, the swing trajectory of the second end of the swing rod 2 is an arc, that is, the measuring rope 41 elongates or shortens along an arc trajectory. Since the swing amplitude of the second end of the swing rod 2 around the first end of the swing rod 2 is small, the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is also correspondingly small, and the deviation of calculating the tension value borne by the cutting loop A through the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is also small, which will not affect its monitoring of the tension value of the cutting loop A. When the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is greater than the set value, it can reflect that the tension value borne by the cutting loop A is overloaded.

[0059] Furthermore, the tension detection mechanism further includes a PLC controller, which is communicatively connected to the main body of the pull rope sensor 4. The PLC controller is used to receive the value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 sent by the pull rope sensor 4 to monitor the change value of the elongation in real time.

[0060] Optionally, the tension detection mechanism further includes an alarm, which is communicatively connected to the PLC controller. When the PLC controller monitors that the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is greater than the set safety value, the PLC controller controls the alarm to send an alarm message.

[0061] Optionally, the PLC controller is communicatively connected to the driver of the wire cutting mechanism. When the PLC controller monitors that the change value of the elongation of the measuring rope 41 is greater than the set safety value, the PLC controller controls the driver to stop, in order to better protect the cutting mechanism.

[0062] Furthermore, the tension detection mechanism further includes a support frame 5, a rotating shaft 6 and a swing arm.

[0063] The rotating shaft 6 is horizontally oriented and penetrates through the support frame 5, and is rotatably connected to the support frame 5 through a first bearing 91. The first end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the first end of the swing rod 2, the second end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the first end of the swing arm, and the second end of the swing arm is fixedly connected to the tension wheel 1.

[0064] Wherein, the swing rod 2 and the swing arm are fixedly connected through the rotating shaft 6 to form a lever. One end of the lever is fixedly connected to the tension wheel 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the weight 3. The lever can rotate around the through hole of the support frame 5 through which the rotating shaft 6 penetrates, so that the weight 3 and the tension wheel 1 can swing relatively.

[0065] When a wire bow appears in the cutting loop A, the cutting loop A can pull the tension wheel 1 downward, the tension wheel 1 can drive the second end of the swing arm to swing downward around the first end of the swing arm, and the first end of the swing arm can drive the second end of the swing rod 2 to swing upward around the first end of the swing rod 2.

[0066] Optionally, the rotating shaft 6 passes through the second end of the swing rod 2, and the rotating shaft 6 passes through the end of the swing rod 2 and is threadedly connected with a nut to fix the rotating shaft 6 on the swing rod 2. The second end of the swing arm is fixedly connected to the tension wheel 1 by bolts.

[0067] Specifically, the tension wheel 1, the swing arm, and the cutting loop A are located on the first side of the support frame 5, and the rotating shaft 6, the swing rod 2, the weight 3, and the rope tension sensor 4 are located on the second side of the support frame 5.

[0068] Specifically, the main body of the rope tension sensor 4 is fixed on the support frame 5. When a wire bow appears in the cutting loop A and pulls the tension wheel 1 downward, the measuring rope 41 of the rope tension sensor 4 can shorten relative to the main body of the rope tension sensor 4, that is, the elongation of the measuring rope 41 shortens.

[0069] Furthermore, the tension detection mechanism further includes a weight connector 31 and a rotating rod 7.

[0070] The weight connector 31 is fixedly connected to the weight 3. The rotating rod 7 is horizontally oriented and fixedly connected to the second end of the swing rod 2. The rotating rod 7 is inserted into the weight connector 31 and can rotate relative to the weight connector 31.

[0071] When the second end of the swing rod 2 swings upward around its first end, the swing rod 2 can drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate relative to the weight connector 31 and drive the weight 3 to move upward.

[0072] Specifically, the weight connector 31 is provided with a horizontally oriented first connection hole 311.

[0073] The first connection hole 311 can be sleeved and rotatably connected to the rotating rod 7 through a second bearing 92.

[0074] The bottom of the weight connector 31 is provided with a vertically oriented first threaded hole. The top of the weight 3 is fixedly connected with a vertically oriented screw rod, and the screw rod can be threadedly connected into the threaded hole to detachably fix the weight 3 on the weight connector 31 for easy disassembly, loading, and maintenance.

[0075] Furthermore, the tension detection mechanism further includes a connecting frame 8.

[0076] The end of the rotating rod 7 is provided with a horizontally oriented second threaded hole. The connecting frame 8 is provided with a horizontally oriented second connection hole 81 and a vertically oriented third connection hole. The second connection hole 81 can communicate with the second threaded hole and a screw is passed through to detachably fix the connecting frame 8 on the rotating rod 7 for easy disassembly, loading, and maintenance.

[0077] The connecting end of the measuring rope 41 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 42, and the sleeve 42 is provided with internal threads. The sleeve 42 can communicate with the third connection hole and a screw is passed through to detachably fix the sleeve 42 on the connecting frame 8 for easy disassembly, loading, and maintenance.

[0078] Thus, when the second end of the swing rod 2 swings upward around its first end, the swing rod 2 drives the rotating rod 7 to swing synchronously, and the rotating rod 7 drives the sleeve 42 to move upward through the connecting frame 8, so as to shorten the elongation of the measuring rope 41.

[0079] Specifically, the connecting frame 8 is an L-shaped frame body. A second connecting hole 81 is formed in the vertical plate of the connecting frame 8, and a third connecting hole is formed in the horizontal plate of the connecting frame 8.
