Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel cable laying equipment, and specifically relates to a steel cable laying device. Background Technology

[0002] The original cable laying device used two jacks to lift the cable coil, with two sets of rolling bearings to assist rotation, and a winch to lay the cable. However, with the continuous practice of deep-water buoy maintenance operations in the reservoir area, the cable laying device has the following problems:

[0003] (1) When installing or replacing steel cable rolls, it is entirely up to manpower to pull and move them to the cable-laying frame, which is time-consuming and requires a high level of labor intensity.

[0004] (2) It is difficult to ensure concentricity when the device is running, and the bearing smoothness is low. The steel cable roll cannot be turned by manpower alone. Therefore, it must be used in conjunction with a winch, and the flexibility and speed of use are poor.

[0005] (3) The consumption of steel cables relies entirely on the operators to estimate the length of the cable laid, which results in inaccurate statistics on steel cable consumption, which is contrary to the current refined management.

[0006] (4) When the cable is broken, the hydraulic cable cutter is used manually. Each operation takes 2-3 minutes and is physically demanding. The operator is in a dangerous area when the cable is broken, and the safety risk is high. The longer the cable breaking takes, the higher the risk. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a steel cable laying device. This utility model can easily lay and reel in steel cables, quickly cut steel cables, and accurately record steel cable losses. With the assistance of an electric crane, it can significantly reduce the labor intensity of front-line workers, improve work efficiency and the level of refined management of navigation mark steel cables, and reduce safety risks in the process of waterway maintenance.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A steel cable laying device includes a steel cable reel mounting base, a positioning post on the steel cable reel mounting base for mounting the steel cable reel; the steel cable reel mounting base is connected to a control box, and the control box is equipped with a roller-type meter counter and cable cutting clamps.

[0010] Preferably, the cable cutter is an electro-hydraulic cable cutter, which is connected to the roller-type meter counter as a whole, and the roller-type meter counter is rotatably mounted on the control box.

[0011] The roller-type meter counter includes a steel cable channel fitting, and the jaws of the electro-hydraulic cable cutter are located at the end of the steel cable channel fitting; the steel cable of the steel cable reel passes through the steel cable channel fitting and through the jaws of the electro-hydraulic cable cutter.

[0012] Preferably, the electro-hydraulic cable cutter and the roller-type meter counter are installed on the top of the control box. Both the electro-hydraulic cable cutter and the roller-type meter counter are installed on the base plate, which is connected to the control box via a rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning post is vertically installed on the cable reel mounting base, and the positioning post is used to insert the cable reel.

[0014] Preferably, the control box contains a controller and a hydraulic station. The hydraulic station is used to supply hydraulic oil to the electric hydraulic cable cutter. The controller is electrically connected to the hydraulic station and the roller-type meter counter.

[0015] Preferably, the electro-hydraulic cable cutter is a remote-controlled electro-hydraulic cable cutter.

[0016] Preferably, the positioning column is mounted on the rotating seat, and the rotating seat is mounted on the steel cable reel mounting base.

[0017] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model can easily reel in and out steel cables, quickly cut steel cables, and accurately record steel cable losses. With the assistance of an electric crane, it can significantly reduce the labor intensity of front-line workers, improve work efficiency and the level of refined management of navigation mark steel cables, and reduce safety risks in the process of waterway maintenance operations.

[0019] 2. Improved the level of refined management of navigation beacon cable. Previously, the length of cable consumption could only be estimated based on the experience of the operators. Now, the cable winding and unwinding length can be accurately and intuitively read by the meter counter, providing accurate data support for navigation beacon cable consumption.

[0020] 3. Faster cable cutting and improved safety. The original device could only cut the cable at close range using manual hydraulic clamps, with a cutting time of 2 minutes, which was not very safe and could not meet the emergency requirements. Now, the remote-controlled electric hydraulic cable cutting device can cut the steel cable in only 3-5 seconds. In an emergency, the operator can operate outside the danger zone, avoiding unnecessary exposure to danger.

[0021] 4. Reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency. The original steel cable laying device required three people to work together to replace the steel cable roll. It was very laborious and dangerous to move the approximately 1-ton steel cable roll to the equipment location and fix it by hand. The replacement operation took 12 minutes. The improved device only requires two people to replace the steel cable roll using an electric crane. One person remotely operates the motor and the other assists with steering. The operation time can be shortened to 2 minutes. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The cable reel 9 is rotatably mounted on the positioning post 2. In this embodiment, the positioning post 2 is vertically mounted on the cable reel mounting base 1, and the cable reel 9 is inserted into the positioning post 2 from top to bottom, ensuring that the cable reel 9 can rotate freely. The positioning post 2 can have various forms, as long as it is used to rotatably mount the cable reel 9 on a certain device, they all belong to the same inventive concept of this utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, the cable cutter is an electric hydraulic cable cutter 5, which is connected to the roller meter counter 4 as a whole, and the roller meter counter 4 is rotatably mounted on the control box 3.

The installation structure of the cable reel mounting base 1 and the control box 3 is flexible and versatile. This utility model protects the integrated design of the cable reel mounting base 1 and the control box 3.

[0036] Furthermore, the control box 3 is equipped with a controller 8 and a hydraulic station 11. The hydraulic station 11 is used to supply hydraulic oil to the electric hydraulic cable cutter 5. The controller 8 is electrically connected to the hydraulic station 11 and the roller-type meter counter 4 respectively.

[0037] In this embodiment, a roller-type meter counter is used to record the amount of steel cable laid down and wound, facilitating statistical analysis of the steel cable and providing data support for precise waterway maintenance operations. The roller-type meter counter measures cable diameters ranging from 6 to 20 mm, with a measurement error rate of ≤2%.
