Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrolytic cell rope-guided robot installation, in particular to a 90-degree rope track turning module of an electrolytic cell rope-guided robot. Background Art

[0002] To monitor the temperature and magnetic field strength outside the aluminum electrolytic cell in real time, researchers have developed bottom-of-cell inspection robots. These robots travel along the bottom of the cell, primarily detecting the temperature and magnetic field strength in real time. While suitable for applications with relatively good on-site environments, the electrolytic cell environment typically features high magnetic fields, high temperatures, high dust levels, and confined spaces. Strong magnetic fields can adversely affect the robot's internal drive circuits, while high dust levels can cause the robot's drive wheels to slip when turning. Therefore, the robot is moved using a wire rope, and a linear track is typically used for linear traction. However, the 90-degree turns of the cell present during traction. If a linear track is still used, the traction rope can easily become stuck, preventing further traction. Furthermore, prolonged friction from the right angle can damage or even break the rope, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, a mechanism that can adapt to curved tracks and guide the rope is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] See also Figure 1 The 90-degree rope track turning module of the electrolytic cell rope-guided robot of the utility model includes:

[0029] A turning rail 1 for the robot to turn, and a rope bending assembly for the traction rope 2 to turn;

[0030] The rope bending assembly includes several wire pulleys 3, mounting parts 4 for installing the wire pulleys 3, and brackets 5 for installing the mounting parts 4 on the edge of the groove. Several wire pulleys 3 are arranged on the same arc through the mounting parts 4 to form a wire pulley group 3. The wire pulley group 3 is installed on one side of the turning rail 1. The spacing between the wire pulleys 3 at both ends of the wire pulley group 3 is adapted to the chord length of the turning rail 1, which can ensure that the wire pulleys 3 at both ends of the wire pulley group 3 are respectively located at both ends of the turning rail 1, effectively ensuring the stability of the robot when entering and exiting the turning rail 1, and reducing the wear of the traction rope 2.

[0031] The mounting member 4 is an arc-shaped meniscus, and the angle a of the inner edge of the arc-shaped meniscus is greater than 180 degrees. This type of mounting member 4 can effectively reduce the overall volume while meeting the need for the arc formed by the guide wheel 3 groups to adapt to the turning rail 1, so that it can adapt to a small space.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] See also Figure 2 - Figure 4 As a further improvement of Example 1, different from Example 1, the mounting member 4 includes a mounting shaft 41 and a plurality of positioning plates 42. The mounting shaft 41 is mounted on the bracket 5. The number of the positioning plates 42 matches the number of the wire pulleys 3. The positioning plates 42 are movably sleeved on the surface of the mounting shaft 41. The positioning plates 42 are rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 41. A locking member 45 for locking the positioning plates 42 is installed on the mounting shaft 41.

[0034] The positioning plate 42 includes a rotating ring 421 and a telescopic plate 422 . The rotating ring 421 is sleeved on the installation shaft 41 . The installation shaft 41 is a screw, and the locking member 45 is a nut.

[0035] An L-shaped connecting plate 423 is further provided between the telescopic plate 422 and the rotating ring 421 . The telescopic plate 422 is arranged on the same horizontal arc line through the L-shaped connecting plates 423 of different heights.

[0036] Specifically, the telescopic plate 422 includes a fixed plate 4221 and a sliding plate 4222. The sliding plate 4222 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 4221. The fixed plate 4221 is provided with an adjusting screw 4223. The sliding plate 4222 is provided with an adjusting hole 4224 for adjusting the movement of the screw 4223. The adjusting hole 4224 is a rectangular hole. The sliding plate 4222 slides relative to the adjusting screw 4223 using the adjusting hole 4224, and the sliding plate 4222 is locked using the nut corresponding to the adjusting screw 4223, so that the length of the telescopic plate 422 can be adjusted.

[0037] When using this utility model:

[0038] The mounting member 4 can be adjusted according to the chord length of the turning track 1 so that the spacing between the wire pulleys 3 at both ends of the wire pulley group 3 matches the chord length of the turning track 1. The mounting member 4 is adjusted by first rotating the positioning plates 42 apart, then positioning the two outermost positioning plates 42 on the chord length of the turning track 1, and then adjusting the length of the telescopic plates 422 of all the positioning plates 42 so that the positioning plates 42 of varying lengths carry the wire pulleys 3 near the turning track 1 and form an arc concentric with the turning track 1. This design uses the midpoint of the chord of the turning track 1 as the base point. By adjusting the length of the positioning plates 42, the arc formed by the wire pulley group 3 can be adjusted according to the turning track 1, making the turning of the traction rope 2 smoother, thereby enabling the towed robot to smoothly perform a 90-degree turn.

[0039] Furthermore, a plurality of rotating grooves 43 adapted to the rotating ring 421 are provided on the mounting shaft 41; by setting the rotating grooves 43, the connection point position of the positioning plate 42 and the mounting shaft 41 can be kept unchanged, ensuring that different telescopic plates 422 are located on the same horizontal arc through L-shaped connecting plates 423 of different heights.

[0040] Furthermore, a fitting pad 44 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 41 between the rotating rings 421. The setting of the fitting pad 44 can provide damping when different positioning plates 42 rotate, which is convenient for adjusting the angle of the positioning plates 42. Moreover, through the setting of the fitting pad 44, the nut of the locking member 45 can better lock the angles of all positioning plates 42 by clamping up and down.

[0041] The above is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements based on the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
