Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rope-guided robots, in particular to a bracket for an electrolytic cell rope-guided robot. Background Art

[0002] In aluminum electrolytic cell production sites, to achieve real-time monitoring of the temperature and magnetic field strength outside the cell, researchers have developed a bottom inspection robot. This robot travels 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 conditions, the electrolytic cell environment typically features high magnetic fields, high temperatures, high dust levels, and confined spaces. Strong magnetism can adversely affect the robot's internal drive circuitry, while high dust levels can cause the robot's drive wheels to slip during movement. Therefore, a wire rope is typically used to pull the robot. However, when the wire rope is too long, it can easily fall. To minimize this, we offer a bracket for a rope-guided electrolytic cell robot. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an electrolytic cell rope-guided robot bracket.

[0004] The electrolytic cell rope-guided robot bracket of the utility model comprises:

[0007] The mounting frame includes a fixing plate, the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate, one end of the horizontal plate away from the fixing plate is vertically fixedly connected to the vertical plate, and the bottom of the vertical plate is connected to the mounting piece.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mounting member includes a fixed sleeve perpendicular to the bottom of the vertical plate, a connecting rod is movably inserted into the interior of the fixed sleeve, the connecting rod can slide linearly inside the fixed sleeve, an adjusting screw is inserted into the internal central thread of the fixed sleeve, the adjusting screw is used to drive the connecting rod to slide linearly in the fixed sleeve, and the end of the connecting rod away from the adjusting screw is used to install the mounting ring of the lifting rod.

[0009] In some embodiments, the end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the connecting rod through a bearing.

[0010] In some embodiments, a spring is provided inside the fixed sleeve, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the sliding block, the adjusting screw is connected to the sliding block through a bearing, and the adjusting screw is not connected to the connecting rod.

[0011] In some embodiments, a V-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the lifting wheel.

[0012] In some embodiments, multiple groups of mounting holes are provided in the vertical gaps on the fixing plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. The utility model forms a straight line for lifting the wire rope through the top of the two lifting wheels, thereby preventing the straight section of the wire rope from being too long and causing it to fall; and because a torsion spring is provided between the lifting rods, and the torsion spring is stressed after the equipment is installed, that is, after the wire rope becomes loose after long-term use, the pressure on the torsion spring will be reduced, and the two open lifting rods carrying the lifting wheels will close, thereby playing the role of tensioning the wire rope upward, further preventing the wire rope from falling.

[0015] 2. The connecting rod of the utility model pulls the spring to open and places the lifting wheel under the wire rope, that is, the device can not only tension the wire rope from bottom to top, but also tension the wire rope horizontally, further ensuring that the wire rope will not fall.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model of the electrolytic cell rope-guided robot bracket includes:

[0026] A mounting bracket for mounting on an electrolyzer;

[0027] The lifting assembly 4 includes two lifting wheels 41. The mounting shafts of the two lifting wheels 41 are fixedly connected to lifting rods 42. The ends of the lifting rods 42 are fixedly connected to mounting members 5. Two bearings are sleeved on the mounting members 5. Mounting rings 43 are installed on the two bearings. A torsion spring 44 is provided between the two lifting rods 42.

[0028] The mounting frame includes a fixing plate 1 , the bottom of the fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 2 , one end of the horizontal plate 2 away from the fixing plate 1 is vertically fixedly connected to a vertical plate 3 , and the bottom of the vertical plate 3 is connected to a mounting member 5 .

[0029] In this example:

[0030] It is necessary to make the two lifting wheels 41 in the initial state contact with the wire rope, and then move the mounting frame carrying the lifting assembly 4 upward as a whole, so that the two lifting wheels 41 are compressed and opened, and then the fixed plate 1 in the mounting frame is installed on the electrolytic cell by bolts; wherein, since a torsion spring 44 is provided between the two lifting rods 42, that is, the tops of the two lifting wheels 41 will form a straight line for lifting the wire rope, thereby preventing the straight section of the wire rope from being too long and causing it to fall; and since a torsion spring 44 is provided between the lifting rods 42, and the torsion spring 44 is subjected to force after the equipment is installed, that is, after the wire rope becomes loose after long-term use, the pressure on the torsion spring 44 will be reduced, and the two opened lifting rods 42 carrying the lifting wheels 41 will close, thereby playing the role of tensioning the wire rope upward, further preventing the wire rope from falling.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] See also Figure 3 As a further improvement of the first embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that the mounting member 5 includes a fixed sleeve 51 perpendicular to the bottom of the vertical plate 3, a connecting rod 52 is movably inserted into the interior of the fixed sleeve 51, and the connecting rod 52 can slide linearly inside the fixed sleeve 51, and an adjusting screw 53 is inserted into the central thread of the interior of the fixed sleeve 51, and the adjusting screw 53 is used to drive the connecting rod 52 to slide linearly in the fixed sleeve 51;

[0033] The end of the adjusting screw 53 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 52 via a bearing;

[0034] One end of the connecting rod 52 away from the adjusting screw 53 is used for mounting the mounting ring 43 of the lifting rod 42 .

[0035] In this embodiment, by rotating the adjusting screw 53, the connecting rod 52 can slide in the fixed sleeve 51, so that the position of the lifting wheel 41 can be adjusted, effectively ensuring that the lifting wheel 41 can be located below the wire rope.

[0036] Example 3:

[0037] See also Figure 4 As a further improvement of Example 2, a spring 54 is provided inside the fixed sleeve 51, one end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 52, and the other end of the spring 54 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 55. The adjusting screw 53 is connected to the sliding block 55 through a bearing, and the adjusting screw 53 is not connected to the connecting rod 52.

[0038] In this example:

[0039] By rotating the adjusting screw 53, the sliding block 55 can slide in the fixed sleeve 51. The sliding of the sliding block 55 can push the connecting rod 52 to move, so that the lifting wheel 41 can be close to the wire rope, and then the connecting rod 52 pulls the spring 54 to open, and the lifting wheel 41 is located under the wire rope. That is, in this embodiment, the device can not only have the function of tensioning the wire rope from bottom to top, but also has the function of horizontally tensioning the wire rope, further ensuring that the wire rope will not fall.

[0040] Furthermore, a V-shaped groove is provided on the surface of the lifting wheel 41 to prevent the wire rope from deviating.

[0041] Furthermore, multiple groups of mounting holes are provided in the vertical gaps on the fixing plate 1, and the bolts are installed in different mounting holes to achieve the function of adjusting the overall height of the device.

[0042] 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.
