Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steel wire rope quality detection technology, in particular to a novel steel wire rope inspection tool. Background Art

[0002] In today's industrial landscape, steel wire ropes are widely used in various sectors, including lifting, transportation, construction, and mining, fulfilling crucial load-bearing and transmission functions. However, due to the various stresses and environmental factors that steel wire ropes are subject to during use, they are prone to safety hazards such as wear and tear. These safety hazards not only lead to production interruptions but can also cause serious accidents, resulting in losses for businesses and society.

[0003] Traditional wire rope diameter inspection relies primarily on manual inspection and tools like vernier calipers. Inspectors need to examine the wire rope section by section, observing its surface for defects such as wear, broken wires, and deformation. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. Manual inspection is easily affected by factors such as the inspector's experience, skill level, and work attitude. Different inspectors may produce different inspection results for the same wire rope, leading to missed inspections or misjudgments.

[0004] Furthermore, manual inspections in harsh working environments, such as those with high temperatures, high humidity, and high dust levels, can further reduce the efficiency and accuracy of inspectors. Traditional inspection methods are unable to promptly and accurately identify potential safety hazards associated with wire ropes, making it difficult to meet the safety requirements of modern industry.

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0024] The present utility model discloses a new type of wire rope inspection tool. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The new wire rope inspection tool includes a clamping plate 1 and a movable lever 2. The clamping plate 1 and the movable lever 2 are made of steel, and the surface can be sprayed with an anti-corrosion coating and a wear-resistant coating to improve the overall corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The card plate 1 includes an integrally formed holding plate 10 and a supporting side plate 11. The holding plate 10 and the supporting side plate 11 are both rectangular. Two supporting side plates 11 are provided and are located on both sides of the bottom edge of the holding plate 10; two movable levers 2 are provided and are located between the two supporting side plates 11, a standard card slot 12 is formed between one movable lever 2 and one supporting side plate 11, and an extreme card slot 13 is formed between the other movable lever 2 and the other supporting side plate 11.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A long sliding hole 14 is provided at the bottom of the holding plate 10 along the length direction, and a sliding rail 15 is provided between the sliding hole 14 and the standard card slot 12 and the limit card slot 13. The sliding rail 15 is connected between the two supporting side plates 11; the front and back sides of the holding plate 10 are engraved with scale lines 16 along the length direction of the sliding hole 14, and the scale lines 16 gradually increase from the two ends to the middle scale value. In this embodiment, the maximum scale value is 20 mm. For example, the scale lines 16 are located above the sliding hole 14.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The movable lever 2 is slidably installed on the slide rail 15. The movable lever 2 includes a sliding frame 20 that is slidably sleeved on the slide rail 15. The sliding frame 20 is in the shape of a rectangular frame; a support rod 21 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the sliding frame 20, and the bottom edge of the support rod 21 is flush with the bottom edge of the supporting side plate 11. A threaded hole is opened on the back side of the sliding frame 20 and is threadedly connected with a top screw 22. The top screw 22 passes through the threaded hole and is used to be tightly fixed to the slide rail 15. In this embodiment, the top screw 22 is used as a positioning member. In other embodiments, any existing structure can be used as a positioning member, that is, it can meet the use requirements of positioning the movable lever 2.

[0028] The working principle of the new wire rope inspection tool of the present embodiment is as follows: Taking a wire rope with a standard diameter of 18mm as an example, its scrap limit diameter is 16.7mm. When it is necessary to check the diameter of a wire rope after a period of use, the operator moves the movable lever 2 near the standard slot 12 to a position aligned with the 18mm scale value, then tightens the corresponding top screw 22. Move the movable lever 2 near the limit slot 13 to a position aligned with the 16.7mm scale value, and similarly tightens the corresponding top screw 22.

[0029] Align the limit slot 13 with the wire rope and clamp it on the wire rope. If the wire rope cannot enter the limit slot 13, it proves that the wire rope has not reached the scrap limit and can continue to be used. If the wire rope can smoothly enter the limit slot 13, it proves that the wire rope has reached the scrap limit and needs to be replaced in time. The standard slot 12 can assist in detecting whether the diameter of the new wire rope is the 18mm standard, avoiding the situation of replacing the wrong type of wire rope. Similarly, if you need to detect a wire rope with a standard diameter of 16mm, 14mm, etc., move the movable lever 2 to the corresponding scale value and fix it to operate the test.

[0030] The use of the wire rope detection tool of the embodiment of the utility model significantly improves the efficiency of wire rope diameter detection, saves time and labor costs for enterprises, provides a scientific decision-making basis, and reduces safety risks; the tool is simple and convenient to operate, the readings are clear, and it is suitable for various on-site environments and working conditions; the tool is small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry, and can be used to detect wire rope diameters anytime and anywhere. Because the movable lever 2 is a position-adjustable structure, it can meet the detection needs of wire ropes of various different diameters.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
