In the de-icing mode of the control system, the cableway can achieve unattended intermittent operation at night. This method can only delay the ice formation and cannot guarantee that there will be no ice formation at all, and there are still risks. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model. Embodiment
[0022] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 , an ice-breaking wheel for a cableway, comprising a turning track 1 arranged at a bend in a station. A feeding box 2 is fixedly installed on the turning track 1. A steel cable 12 passes through the feeding box 2. Ice-breaking wheels 3 with a convex structure are symmetrically installed in the feeding box 2 for breaking ice on the surface of the steel cable 12. A cleaning wheel 4 that can rotate around the axial direction of the steel cable 12 is located in the feeding box 2 and sleeved on the surface of the steel cable 12. The inner wall shape of the cleaning wheel 4 is a flared mouth that gradually widens from left to right for cleaning the remaining ice on the steel cable 12.
[0023] When it is necessary to break ice on the surface of the steel cable 12, two ice-breaking wheels 3 arranged in the feeding box 2 are in contact with the surface of the steel cable 12 and are perpendicular to the steel cable 12. When the steel cable 12 moves, the convex structure on the ice-breaking wheel 3 can achieve a good ice-breaking effect, thereby completing the breaking treatment of the ice on the surface of the steel cable 12. And the cleaning wheel 4 arranged in the feeding box 2 is sleeved on the surface of the steel cable 12. Through the flared design of the inner wall of the cleaning wheel 4, the broken ice that has not fallen on the steel cable 12 can be cleaned again to prevent the remaining broken ice from freezing again, further improving the ice-breaking effect of the device. At the same time, the cleaning wheel 4 can slowly rotate around the axial direction of the steel cable 12 during cleaning, providing a good rotary cutting force to effectively remove the broken ice and facilitating the fallen broken ice to drop from the cleaning wheel 4 to prevent residue. Embodiment
[0024] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 , an ice-breaking wheel for a cableway, which is basically the same as Embodiment 1. Further:
[0025] The convex structure includes a rubber sleeve sleeved outside the ice-breaking wheel 3, and ice-breaking protrusions 7 are arranged on the surface of the rubber sleeve at equal intervals.
[0026] Wherein, the distance between the opposite convex parts is the same as the diameter of the steel cable 12, ensuring only ice-breaking but minimizing the extrusion damage to the steel cable 12. The rubber sleeve has a certain resilience, which also minimizes the extrusion damage to the steel cable 12.
[0027] Triangular blocks are installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 2. Connecting rods 5 are rotatably connected by pins at the axles of the two ice-breaking wheels 3. One ends of the two connecting rods 5 are respectively hinged to the triangular blocks and the inner wall of the feeding box 2. Electric telescopic rods 6 are installed on both the inner wall of the feeding box 2 and the surface of the triangular blocks, and the ends of the electric telescopic rods 6 are hinged to the connecting rods 5.
[0028] During use, the electric telescopic rod 6 can drive the connecting rod 5 to rotate, so that the ice-breaking wheel 3 at the end of the connecting rod 5 contacts the surface of the steel cable 12, and the ice-breaking wheel 3 is perpendicular to the steel cable 12, enabling better contact with the peripheral surfaces of the ice-breaking wheel 3 and the steel cable 12, and achieving a better ice-breaking effect.
[0029] A steel wire 13 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning wheel 4. The lengths of multiple steel wires 13 gradually increase from left to right. The outer wall of the cleaning wheel 4 is rotatably connected to an annular plate 9 through a bearing. One end of the annular plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the material guiding box 2 through a mounting block. A driven wheel 8 is fixed on the surface of the cleaning wheel 4. The driven wheel 8 is located on one side of the annular plate 9. The surface of the driven wheel 8 is connected to a driving wheel 10 through a synchronous belt. The axis of the driving wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 11. The driving motor 11 is installed on the inner wall of the material guiding box 2. The cleaning wheel 4 and the steel cable 12 are arranged obliquely in the material guiding box 2. The outer wall of the cleaning wheel 4 is in a cylindrical shape. The bottom of the material guiding box 2 is provided with a discharge port, and a material guiding pipe is arranged at the discharge port.
[0030] The inner wall of the cleaning wheel 4 is in a horn shape, and multiple steel wires 13 are arranged on the inner wall. During use, the residual ice on the surface of the penetrated steel cable 12 can be cleaned to avoid the occurrence of re-freezing. Since during cleaning, the driving motor 11 is started to drive the driving wheel 10 to rotate, and the driving wheel 10 drives the cleaning wheel 4 to rotate through the driven wheel 8. On the one hand, a certain rotary cutting force is provided to improve the cleaning effect. On the other hand, the ice broken in the cleaning wheel 4 conveniently falls through the position of the horn mouth of the cleaning wheel 4, avoiding remaining in the cleaning wheel 4. The ice broken and cleaned falls through the discharge port of the material guiding box 2 and then is discharged through the material guiding pipe to avoid remaining in the material guiding box 2. The material guiding pipe is not shown in the attached drawing. The cleaning wheel 4 rotates slowly and does not generate a large centrifugal force, and the ice broken and cleaned can fall and be discharged from the cleaning wheel 4.
[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
