[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] In addition, it should be understood that in order to facilitate description, the sizes of the various components shown in the drawings are not drawn in accordance with the actual proportional relationship, for example: the thickness or width of certain layers can be exaggerated relative to other layers.

[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined or described in one drawing, it will not need to be further specifically discussed and described in the description of subsequent drawings.

[0029] In order to solve the technical problems in the background art, as shown in the Figs. 1-3 The present application provides a technical solution: a hydraulic tensioning device, characterized by:

[0030] The oil cylinder support 1 is the foundation of the oil cylinder 2, which needs to be fixed on solid ground or support to ensure its stability and load capacity. The oil cylinder 2 is fixed on the oil cylinder support 1 by high-strength bolts or welding to ensure that the oil cylinder 2 does not displace during operation. The pulley seat 3 is installed on the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2, and the pulley seat 3 is fixed with the piston rod to realize synchronous extension and contraction. The movable pulley 4 is installed on the pulley seat 3, and the top end of the pulley seat 3 is provided with a fixed shaft 5 for fixing one end of the steel wire rope 10. The fixed seat 6 is installed on the extension line of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2 for supporting the fixed pulley 7. The fixed pulley 7 is installed on the fixed seat 6 and is axially parallel to the movable pulley 4 to ensure smooth transition of the steel wire rope 10 between the two pulleys. The deflection pulley support 8 is installed beside the fixed seat 6 for supporting the deflection pulley 9. The deflection pulley 9 is installed on the deflection pulley support 8 and is axially perpendicular to the fixed pulley 7, and the plane where the deflection pulley 9 is located is tangent to the movable pulley 4 to realize effective deflection of the steel wire rope 10. One end of the steel wire rope 10 is fixed on the fixed shaft 5, then passes through the fixed pulley 7, the movable pulley 4 in turn, and finally passes through the deflection pulley 9 to connect to the subsequent equipment such as a conveyor. The automatic hydraulic tensioning pump station 11 is responsible for providing and adjusting the pressure oil required by the oil cylinder 2 to realize accurate control of the oil cylinder 2. The automatic hydraulic tensioning pump station 11 should be equipped with a pressure sensor and a control system to monitor and adjust the pressure in the oil cylinder 2 to ensure the stability of the tensioning force. The electric control system 12 is responsible for the electrical control of the entire hydraulic tensioning device, including starting, stopping, PLC program control and manual control, as well as system interlocking and program control. The electric control system 12 should include an operation panel for displaying device status and receiving operation instructions, as well as an emergency stop button to ensure that power can be quickly cut off in an emergency.

[0031] Further, the deflection pulley 9 rim center line is on the same horizontal plane as the highest point of the movable pulley 4 rim, ensuring smoother transition of the steel wire rope 10 from the movable pulley 4 to the deflection pulley 9, reducing the bending stress of the steel wire rope 10, thereby prolonging the service life of the steel wire rope 10. By keeping the highest point of the deflection pulley 9 and the movable pulley 4 rim on the same horizontal plane, excessive bending or twisting of the steel wire rope 10 during deflection can be avoided, reducing local stress concentration and reducing the risk of steel wire rope 10 breakage. Optimized steel wire rope 10 path helps to more evenly transmit tensioning force, ensuring more stable tension of the conveyor belt.

[0032] It should be noted that the highest point of the fixed pulley 7 is lower than the highest point of the movable pulley 4, reducing the degree of bending of the steel wire rope 10 in the transition from the movable pulley 4 to the fixed pulley 7, thereby reducing wear and fatigue of the steel wire rope 10. The lower position of the fixed pulley 7 helps to more directly transmit the tensioning force, reducing the loss of force caused by bending of the steel wire rope 10. By keeping the fixed pulley 7 at a lower position, the risk of the steel wire rope 10 jumping from the fixed pulley 7 can be reduced, improving the stability of the system.

[0033] It is worth noting that after the wire rope 10 is redirected by the fixed pulley 7 and the movable pulley 4, it forms three segments in the same vertical plane at the redirection pulley 9. The distribution of the three segments of the wire rope 10 in the same vertical plane helps to distribute the tension more evenly, reducing local stress concentration. The linear arrangement of the wire rope 10 in the vertical plane can reduce wear and damage caused by improper angles, prolonging the service life of the wire rope 10. The linear arrangement of the wire rope 10 helps to reduce the instability caused by the deflection or twisting of the wire rope 10, improving the stability of the entire system. The arrangement of the wire rope 10 in the same vertical plane makes it easier to install and maintain, as the tension and wear of the wire rope 10 can be visually inspected.

[0034] It should be noted that the bottom end of the U-shaped pulley seat 3 is connected to the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2. This can be achieved by welding, bolting or other appropriate fixing methods. The axis of the movable pulley 4 is connected to the two side walls of the U-shaped pulley seat 3. This is usually achieved through bearings or bushings, ensuring that the movable pulley 4 can rotate freely and be accurately centered. The U-shaped pulley seat 3 provides a stable support structure that can effectively withstand the forces generated by the movable pulley 4 during operation. The design of the U-shaped pulley seat 3 makes the entire device more compact, saving space, while facilitating integration onto the piston rod of the oil cylinder 2. The U-shaped structure can reduce the vibration of the movable pulley 4 during operation, improving the stability and life of the system. The design of the U-shaped pulley seat 3 makes it easier to install and maintain the movable pulley 4, as it can be operated directly from the two side walls.

[0035] It should be noted that the multi-strand steel core structure of the wire rope 10 has higher tensile strength than the single-strand structure, and can withstand greater tension, suitable for high-load working environments. When the surface of the multi-strand structure wire rope 10 is worn, the internal steel core can provide additional protection, extending the service life of the wire rope 10. When the multi-strand steel core structure of the wire rope 10 is impacted or stretched excessively, the internal multi-strand structure can disperse stress, reducing the risk of breakage.

[0036] It is worth noting that the electric control system 12 is equipped with an emergency stop button, which allows operators to quickly cut off power and stop the device in the event of potential danger or emergency, thereby responding quickly to emergencies. By immediately stopping the operation of the device, the occurrence of accidents can be prevented or the severity of the accident can be reduced, protecting the safety of operators and equipment.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
