[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, a crane wire rope flaw detection external sensor includes an overall structure 1 and a support structure 2, and the support structure 2 is located at the front and rear positions on both sides of the bottom of the overall structure 1; the overall structure 1 includes a box body 101, and rings 115 are fixedly connected to the centers of the outer surfaces on both sides of the box body 101. A number of uniformly distributed first electric push rods 117 are fixedly installed on the inner surface of the ring 115. The extending ends of the first electric push rods 117 are fixedly connected to first rollers 118. Compression springs 116 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the first electric push rods 117. Fixed plates 110 are fixedly connected to the front and rear positions on both sides of the inner bottom of the box body 101. Second rollers 109 are rotatably connected to the relative sides of the two fixed plates 110 near the top. A pulley 114 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front side of the second roller 109. A belt body 111 is slidably connected to the center of the inner surface of the pulley 114.
[0024] The effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 1 is, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, during actual use, the circular ring 115 on one side is the inlet for the steel wire rope, and the circular ring 115 on the other side is the outlet for the steel wire rope. Then, when it passes through the circular ring 115 on one side, through the mutual cooperation of the first electric push rod 117, the compression spring 116, and the first roller 118, it can be fixed, enabling the steel wire rope to be stably detected. Moreover, the main source of force for the first roller 118 is the force of the first electric push rod 117, and the elastic force of the compression spring 116 plays an auxiliary role to improve the fixing effect.
[0025] Embodiment 2, as Figures 1 - 4 As shown, one end of the compression spring 116 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the circular ring 115, and the other end of the compression spring 116 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first roller 118. One side of the front outer surface of the fixed plate 110 near the top is fixedly installed with a servo motor 112. The output end of the servo motor 112 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 113. One end of the rotating shaft 113 penetrates the surface of the fixed plate 110 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 112. The other end of the rotating shaft 113 is fixedly connected to the front outer surface of one of the belt pulleys 114. On both sides of the inner top of the box body 101, second electric push rods 108 are fixedly installed at the front and rear positions. The extending end of the second electric push rod 108 is fixedly connected to a bracket 106. The inner surface of the bracket 106 is rotatably connected to a third roller 107. A laser rangefinder 105 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner bottom of the box body 101. Heat dissipation pipes 104 are arranged through the two sides of the top of the box body 101. One side of the front outer surface of the box body 101 is fixedly installed with a PLC controller 102. A display screen 103 is fixedly installed at the center of the front outer surface of the box body 101. The support structure 2 includes support legs 201. An anti-slip pad 202 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the support legs 201. The top surface of the support legs 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the box body 101.
[0026] The overall effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 2 is that through the setting of the heat dissipation pipes 104, the heat inside the box body 101 can be dissipated normally. And through the setting of the display screen 103, it is convenient for the user to view the detection data at any time. During actual use, the PLC controller 102 is electrically connected to multiple components. And through the setting of the support legs 201 and the anti-slip pads 202, the overall stability can be improved.
[0027] Working principle: The user passes the steel wire rope through the ring 115 on one side. When passing through, the first electric push rod 117 extends or retracts, driving the first roller 118 to move, so that the surface of the first roller 118 can fit the outer surface of the steel wire rope. When they are in contact, it can be fixed, enabling it to be stably detected subsequently. Then, the servo motor 112 operates, causing the rotating shaft 113 to rotate. When rotating, it drives one of the belt pulleys 114 to rotate. The belt body 111 is stressed and drives the other belt pulley 114 to rotate, enabling the two second rollers 109 to rotate. Thus, the steel wire rope can pass through the laser rangefinder 105 and the third roller 107. Moreover, the third roller 107 can adjust its height through the cooperation of the second electric push rod 108 to play an auxiliary fixing role, enabling the steel wire rope to be stably conveyed. While passing through, the laser rangefinder 105 continuously detects the distance from itself to the steel wire rope. If the deviation between the consecutive distance values detected by the laser rangefinder 105 exceeds the set value, this section is the damaged section of the steel wire rope. Then, through the cooperation of the display screen 103, it is convenient for the user to observe.
[0028] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not intended to limit the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
