Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal mine transportation, and in particular relates to a coal mine overhead car wire rope running state monitoring and protection device. Background Art
[0002] The overhead manlift is a conveying equipment used to transport personnel in inclined shafts and flat tunnels of coal mines.
[0003] Due to long-term operation, overhead man-lifts may cause serious accidents such as stalling, reversing, rope derailment and rope breakage due to various reasons. Overhead man-lifts usually have protection functions such as overrun, overspeed, underspeed, rope drop, tension drop, and emergency stop by pulling the rope along the line. When a fault occurs, the system will stop running automatically.
[0004] However, these protections only apply timely braking and stopping to the vehicle-driven system in the event of a fault. However, they cannot guarantee braking and stopping of the running wire rope or chairlift. For example, in the event of a stall, reverse, or wire rope break, even if the drive wheels are braked to a stop, the stalled wire rope, without effective control, will continue to descend, potentially leading to a serious accident and the risk of personnel falling. This poses a serious threat to the safety of workers, negatively impacting coal mine safety and society, and represents a technical issue and safety hazard that needs to be addressed urgently.

[0028] The present invention provides an embodiment:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a coal mine overhead traveling vehicle wire rope running status monitoring and protection device includes a forward locking brake assembly, a reverse locking brake assembly, a sensor 2, a controller 3 and a locking brake assembly mounting plate 4; the sensor 2 is arranged on the rope support pulley for detecting the running status of the wire rope; the controller 3 is connected to the sensor 2, the forward locking brake assembly, and the reverse locking brake assembly; the locking brake assembly mounting plate 4 is connected to the tunnel roof, and the forward locking brake assembly and the reverse locking brake assembly are installed on the locking brake assembly mounting plate 4. The forward locking brake assembly or the reverse locking brake assembly locks the wire rope and the chair rope gripper at the corresponding position based on the control signal of the controller 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, the forward locking brake assembly includes a trapezoidal upper groove 101, a trapezoidal lower groove 102, an upper wedge-shaped brake block 103, a lower wedge-shaped brake block 104, a brake block spring 105 and an electric locking pin 106; the trapezoidal upper groove 101 and the trapezoidal lower groove 102 are arranged on the locking brake assembly mounting plate 4, the upper wedge-shaped brake block 103 is slidingly connected to the trapezoidal upper groove 101 through the brake block spring 105, and the trapezoidal lower groove 102 is slidingly connected to the lower wedge-shaped brake block 104 through the brake block spring 105, and an electric locking pin 106 is provided in the trapezoidal upper groove 101 and the trapezoidal lower groove 102. The electric locking pin 106 is used to limit the head of the upper wedge-shaped brake block 103 or the lower wedge-shaped brake block 104, and the electric locking pin 106 is connected to the controller 3; the upper wedge-shaped brake block 103 and the lower wedge-shaped brake block 104 can form a space for the wire rope to pass through or clamp.
[0031] The trapezoidal upper groove 101 is equipped with an upper sliding catch 107 to guide the sliding of the upper wedge-shaped brake block 103, and the trapezoidal lower groove 102 is equipped with a lower sliding catch 108 to guide the sliding of the lower wedge-shaped brake block 104. The portions of the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks 103 and 104 that come into contact with the wire rope are embedded with high-resistance and wear-resistant material liners 109. The tails of the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks 103 and 104 are both equipped with brake block reset pull rings 110.
[0032] The reverse locking brake assembly shares the same structure as the forward locking brake assembly and is installed symmetrically on the locking brake assembly mounting plate 4 in opposite directions. A locking brake assembly mounting base 5 is anchored to the tunnel roof. The upper end of the locking brake assembly mounting plate 4 is connected to the locking brake assembly mounting base 5 via a fixed link 6.
[0033] The sensor 2 is a Hall element, which detects the running speed and running direction of the wire rope; the controller is an IC controller.
[0034] Control principle:
[0035] Under normal circumstances, the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks 103 and 104 are locked in place by the electric locking pin 106. The gap between the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks is just enough to allow the traction wire rope and the chairlift's cable grip to pass smoothly, ensuring the normal operation of the monkey car. The brake springs in the brake blocks are compressed, preparing for cable-gripping braking. To ensure that the brake blocks can quickly grip the cable and apply braking, high-resistance, wear-resistant material pads are embedded in the contact area between the brake blocks and the cable to enhance braking effectiveness.
[0036] If the monkey car overspeeds and loses control, reverses, or the rope breaks and runs away, the sensor will send the detected signal to the controller, which will immediately issue a braking command, and its output relay will immediately operate to sound an alarm, and the electric lock pin will open. At this time, the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks lose their blocking resistance and slide forward and close rapidly under the strong push of the brake block spring 105. Under the combined force of the spring, wedge-shaped groove, and brake block friction resistance, the stalled wire rope is clamped and locked, bringing the monkey car to a stop and preventing the accident from escalating.
[0037] Because the rope brake is a wedge-shaped structure, braking is directional. A forward-locking brake assembly only brakes the vehicle in the forward direction. If the vehicle reverses, even if the forward-locking brake assembly is activated, it will not be able to clamp the wire rope and apply the brake. Therefore, to prevent accidents caused by the vehicle's reverse rotation due to slippage or loss of control due to a broken wire rope, a certain number of reverse-locking brake assemblies must be installed along the vehicle's route.
[0038] To improve the reliability of detection data, a sensor 2 is installed on each of the two rope support pulleys at either end of the locking and brake assembly mounting plate 4. These two sensors 2 detect the running status of the wire rope at that location and transmit the detected data to the IC controller, which processes the data and determines whether to apply the brake. The electric locking pin 106 installed on the locking and brake assembly mounting plate 4 operates based on the detection information from these two sensors 2.
[0039] Specifically, when two sensors 2 simultaneously detect that the monkey car is speeding by more than 30% and lasts for more than 3-5 seconds, the controller determines that the monkey car is in an out-of-control fault state and immediately issues a rope braking command. The electric locking pin of the forward locking brake assembly opens, and the forward locking brake assembly immediately brakes the rope, clamping the wire rope tightly to control the wire rope from continuing to speed.
[0040] When two sensors 2 simultaneously detect that the monkey car has reversed and the duration is greater than 3-5S (not when set by the maintenance worker), the controller determines that the monkey car is in an out-of-control fault state and immediately issues a rope braking command. The electric locking pin of the reverse locking brake assembly opens, and the reverse locking brake assembly immediately brakes the rope, clamping the wire rope tightly to control the wire rope to continue to overspeed or reverse.
[0041] After the cable brake device takes protective action, it is necessary to manually pull the brake block reset pull ring 110 on the brake block to pull back the upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks respectively. The upper and lower wedge-shaped brake blocks are clamped by the electric locking pin to allow the traction wire rope and the chairlift cable device to pass smoothly. Only when the protective device and wire rope are checked to be intact can the normal operation of the monkey car be restored.
[0042] Several coal mine overhead car wire rope operation status monitoring and protection devices are arranged at intervals along the wire rope and share a controller 3; the input side of the controller 3 is connected to the maintenance test switch and all sensors 2, and the output side of the controller 3 is connected to all electric locking pins 106, the overhead car controller and the alarm.
[0043] When the overhead man-carriage is being inspected and debugged, in order to prevent the changes in the operation of the wire rope from causing the monitoring and protection device to malfunction and affect the inspection and maintenance, the main power switch (inspection and test switch) of the monitoring and protection device can be operated to cut off its power supply.
[0044] This project is based on the original protection function of the overhead man-carrying vehicle, and adds a protection device that can realize automatic online detection of the running status of the wire rope and automatic rope-holding braking to prevent the wire rope (monkey car) from stalling, reversing, or breaking and stringing. The device can be installed at intervals of 100-300 meters according to the actual length and slope of the overhead man-carrying vehicle, realizing segmented monitoring, multi-point braking, and full-line force. When the overhead man-carrying vehicle stalls, reverses, breaks the rope, etc., it can quickly brake the wire rope and the hanging chair to stop, ensuring the safety of passengers and equipment.
[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
