Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device for steel wire ropes on a traction machine. It is applicable to the field of cleaning equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning the wire rope of a traction machine plays a crucial role in equipment safety and extending its service life. During use, dirt and particles accumulate on the surface of the wire rope. These deposits mix with the rope's own grease to form larger foreign objects, which can cause wear and tear on the wire rope during movement and even lead to safety accidents. Cleaning the wire rope helps maintain its flexibility and strength, reduces rope damage caused by dirt accumulation, and improves operational safety.

[0003] Currently, the solution for cleaning the wire rope on a traction machine involves installing cleaning brushes on the machine. During winding, the wire rope moves relative to the brushes, thus cleaning it. However, the position of the wire rope changes during winding, and the method of installing the cleaning brushes on the machine makes it impossible for the brushes to adapt to these changes, significantly impacting the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, this utility model provides a cleaning structure for the wire rope on the traction machine.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: a cleaning device for steel wire rope on a traction machine, comprising:

[0006] Support;

[0007] The cleaning mechanism is mounted on the support via a connecting mechanism. The cleaning mechanism can be fitted onto a steel wire rope, and a brush is installed on the cleaning mechanism at the point where it contacts the steel wire rope.

[0008] The cleaning mechanism has a mounting frame that is mounted on the connecting mechanism. Two mounting rods are mounted on the mounting frame and can be arranged on both sides of the wire rope. A brush is mounted on the mounting rod at the position where it contacts the wire rope.

[0009] The mounting rod has two baffles on its side wall facing the other mounting rod, which are arranged along the length of the mounting rod. A slot is formed between the two baffles and the mounting rod. A brush strip is inserted into the slot, and a brush is installed on the brush strip. When the brush strip is inserted into the slot, the brush on the brush strip is located between the two baffles.

[0010] The end of the mounting rod away from the mounting bracket has a first threaded hole at the opening of the slot. A first bolt is installed in the first threaded hole, and the first bolt can seal the slot opening.

[0011] A rectangular block is formed on the end of the mounting rod that contacts the mounting bracket. A first through groove is formed on the mounting bracket at the corresponding position of the mounting rod, along the direction of the line connecting the two mounting rods. The rectangular block slides into the first through groove. A second threaded hole is formed at the end of the rectangular block. A second bolt is installed on the rectangular block and threaded into the second threaded hole. The head of the second bolt protrudes out of the mounting bracket through the first through groove.

[0012] The same cover plate is installed on the two mounting rods at the ends away from the mounting bracket. A third threaded hole is made at the end of the mounting rod. A second through groove is made on the cover plate at the position corresponding to the third threaded hole, which is set along the line connecting the two mounting rods. A third bolt is installed at the end of the mounting rod, which is threaded to the third threaded hole. The head of the third bolt extends out of the cover plate through the second through groove.

[0013] The connecting mechanism is a universal joint.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model mounts the support on the traction machine, facilitating the installation of the cleaning mechanism on the traction machine. This allows the cleaning mechanism on the traction machine to clean the wire rope during winding. By connecting the cleaning mechanism and the support with a ball joint, this utility model facilitates adjustment of the cleaning mechanism's position on the traction machine. This allows the cleaning mechanism to adapt to changes in the wire rope's position during traction, reducing wear between the wire rope and the cleaning mechanism. Furthermore, by installing two mounting rods on the mounting frame of the cleaning mechanism and attaching brushes to the sidewalls of the two mounting rods that contact the wire rope, this utility model allows the brushes on the mounting rods to clean the wire rope when the two mounting rods are arranged on both sides of the wire rope. The wire rope can also move within the area between the two mounting rods, further reducing wear between the wire rope and the cleaning mechanism. Finally, this utility model incorporates a first... The invention features a through groove and a second bolt extending beyond the mounting bracket at the end of the mounting rod. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two mounting rods by loosening the second bolt and fixing them by tightening the second bolt, facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two mounting rods to accommodate wire ropes of different diameters. Furthermore, the invention includes a cover plate installed between the ends of the two mounting rods, with a third bolt threaded onto the end of the mounting rod, extending beyond the cover plate through the second through groove. This allows for a secure connection between the cover plate and the connecting rod after the two mounting rods are adjusted to their corresponding positions, effectively preventing the wire rope from falling off. Finally, the invention also includes a brush strip with a bristle attached, inserted into the mounting rod, with a first bolt installed at the opening of a slot on the mounting rod. This allows for easy removal and replacement of the brush strip by loosening the first bolt, which also limits the placement of the brush strip within the slot, preventing it from falling out.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0020] This embodiment is a cleaning device for the wire rope 5 on a traction machine.

[0021] In this embodiment, a support 1 is provided, which can be installed on the traction machine, so that the cleaning device can be installed on the traction machine and can move with the traction machine, so that the wire rope 5 on the winding traction machine can be cleaned in real time when the traction machine is running.

[0022] In this embodiment, a cleaning mechanism is installed on the support 1, and the cleaning mechanism is connected to the support 1 through a connecting mechanism, wherein the connecting mechanism is a universal joint 2. In this way, under the action of the universal joint 2, it is easy to adjust the position between the cleaning mechanism and the support 1, so that the cleaning mechanism can adapt to the position change of the wire rope 5 when the traction machine is winding the wire rope 5, thereby reducing the mutual wear between the wire rope 5 and the cleaning mechanism.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism can also be a ball joint.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism has a mounting bracket 3, which is mounted on one end of the universal joint 2. Two mounting rods 4 are mounted on the mounting bracket 3, with one end of each rod mounted on the mounting bracket 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, two baffles 6 are formed on the sidewalls of the two mounting rods 4 facing the other mounting rod 4, arranged along the length of the mounting rod 4. A slot is formed between the two baffles 6 and the mounting rod 4. A brush strip 7 is inserted into the slot, and a brush is mounted on the brush strip 7. When the brush strip 7 is inserted into the slot, the brush on the brush strip 7 is located between the two baffles 6. In this way, after the brush strip 7 is inserted into the slot, the brush on the brush strip 7 can extend outside the mounting rod 4, and the brush can clean the steel wire rope 5 between the two mounting rods 4. After the brush strip 7 has been used on the mounting rod 4 for a certain period of time, it is easy to remove the brush strip 7 from the slot and replace it. A rectangular area is formed between the two mounting rods 4. When the cleaning mechanism is fitted onto the steel wire rope 5, the steel wire rope 5 can move within this rectangular area, thereby further avoiding wear between the steel wire rope 5 and the cleaning mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first threaded hole is formed at the opening of the slot on the end of the mounting rod 4 away from the mounting bracket 3. A first bolt 8 is installed in the first threaded hole, and the first bolt 8 can seal the slot opening. Thus, after the brush strip 7 is inserted into the slot, by installing the first bolt 8 in the first threaded hole, the first bolt 8 can seal the slot opening, preventing the brush strip 7 inserted into the slot from falling out of the slot; by unscrewing the first bolt 8 from the first threaded hole, it is easy to remove the brush strip 7 from the slot.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rectangular block 9 is formed on the end of the mounting rod 4 that contacts the mounting frame 3. A first through groove 11 is formed on the mounting frame 3 at a position corresponding to the mounting rod 4, along the line connecting the two mounting rods 4. The rectangular block 9 slides into the first through groove 11. A second threaded hole is formed at the end of the rectangular block 9. A second bolt 10 is installed on the rectangular block 9, threaded into the second threaded hole. The head of the second bolt 10 protrudes out of the mounting frame 3 through the first through groove 11. Thus, by tightening the second bolt 10, the second bolt 10 and the mounting rod 4 are engaged to clamp the mounting frame 3, thereby fixing the mounting frame 3 and the mounting rod 4. By loosening the second bolt 10, the position of the mounting rod 4 on the mounting frame 3 can be adjusted by sliding the rectangular block 9 on the mounting rod 4 into the first through groove 11 on the mounting frame 3. After the mounting rod 4 moves to the corresponding position, the second bolt 10 is tightened to fix it, thereby adjusting the distance between the two mounting rods 4 to accommodate steel wire ropes 5 of different diameters. During the sliding engagement between the rectangular block 9 and the first through groove 11, the rotation of the mounting rod 4 on the rectangular block 9 can be avoided, ensuring that the brush strips 7 on the two mounting rods 4 are always in a position that can contact the wire rope 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, rectangular blocks 9 are formed on the ends of the two mounting rods 4 that contact the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 has a first through groove 11 at the position corresponding to the mounting rods 4, which is arranged along the line connecting the two mounting rods 4. The rectangular blocks 9 slide with the first through groove 11. A second threaded hole is formed at the end of the rectangular blocks 9. A second bolt 10 is installed on the rectangular blocks 9 and threaded with the second threaded hole. The head of the second bolt 10 extends out of the mounting frame 3 through the first through groove 11, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the two mounting rods 4 by loosening the second bolt 10 and fixing the two mounting rods 4 by tightening the second bolt 10. This facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the two mounting rods 4, making it suitable for steel wire ropes 5 of different diameters.

[0029] In this embodiment, a cover plate 12 is installed on the ends of the two mounting rods 4 away from the mounting bracket 3. A third threaded hole is formed at the end of the mounting rod 4. A second through groove 14 is formed on the cover plate 12 at the position corresponding to the third threaded hole, along the direction of the line connecting the two mounting rods 4. A third bolt 13 is installed at the end of the mounting rod 4, which is threaded into the third threaded hole. The head of the third bolt 13 extends out of the cover plate 12 through the second through groove 14. Thus, when adjusting the position between the two mounting rods 4, loosening the third bolt 13 allows relative movement between the mounting rod 4 and the cover plate 12, preventing the cover plate 12 from affecting the position adjustment of the mounting rod 4. After the mounting rod 4 is adjusted to the corresponding position, tightening the third bolt 13 clamps the cover plate 12 and the mounting rod 4, preventing the wire rope 5 from falling off between the two mounting rods 4. Furthermore, by unscrewing the third bolt 13, the cover plate 12 can be removed from the mounting rod 4, making it easy to remove the device from the wire rope 5.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
