Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an early warning device for unbalanced tension of the head rope suspension of a mine hoist, belonging to the technical field of mine hoisting machines. Background Technology
[0002] In my country's mine shaft hoisting systems, the connection between the hoisting container and the head rope employs an automatic tension balancing suspension device. This device utilizes a closed-loop, passive hydraulic automatic balancing system, enabling high-precision automatic balancing of the wire rope under both dynamic and static conditions. Its operation involves adjusting the tension by extending and retracting the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder within the suspension. When the piston rod compresses, the suspension extends, reducing the wire rope tension; conversely, when the piston rod extends further, the suspension shortens, increasing the wire rope tension. As long as the cylinder's stroke is not at its extreme limit, the tension of each wire rope remains stable and balanced. Furthermore, within the cylinder's stroke range, the position of the piston rod extension has no impact on the wire rope tension.
[0003] While the advantages are quite prominent, there are also some disadvantages. For example, the length of the piston rod extension and whether it has reached its limit can only be measured and observed at close range. Therefore, workers must reach the top of the lifting container, which is dangerous and increases the labor intensity of workers and delays maintenance time. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an early warning device for unbalanced tension in the head rope suspension of a mine hoist. It contains fewer accessories, is easy to install, and is highly versatile, meeting the needs of various types of hoisting systems.
[0005] This utility model is achieved according to the following technical solution:
[0006] A mine hoist head rope suspension tension imbalance early warning device includes:
[0007] The number of monitoring devices is the same as the number of lifting head ropes, and the monitoring devices are respectively fixed on the head rope suspension device for real-time monitoring of the elongation of the suspension cylinder in the head rope suspension device.
[0008] An electronic control device, electrically connected to the monitoring device, is used to receive information on the elongation of the suspension cylinder monitored by the monitoring device. When the elongation of the suspension cylinder exceeds the cylinder stroke, the electronic control device can issue a warning signal to remind maintenance personnel to adjust the tension of the wire rope in a timely manner.

[0020] In some embodiments, a position detection sensor for limiting the extension and retraction range of the piston rod is respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the cage.
[0021] In some embodiments, the retainer is a square frame welded from stainless steel rectangular tubes and is fixed to the head rope suspension device by a clamp.
[0022] In some embodiments, the electronic control device includes:
[0023] The controller is fixed to the top of the lifting container and is electrically connected to the monitoring device.
[0024] A wireless transmitter is fixed to the top of the lifting container and electrically connected to the controller. After receiving and processing the information transmitted by the monitoring device, the controller transmits the information to the outside through the wireless transmitter.
[0025] A wireless receiver, installed in the monitoring room, is used to wirelessly receive information transmitted by the wireless transmitter;
[0026] The notification device is electrically connected to the wireless receiver and is used to display the information transmitted by the wireless receiver.
[0027] In some embodiments, the prompting device includes a display for displaying the elongation value of the suspension cylinder in real time. When the elongation value exceeds a preset value, the display issues an audible and visual alarm.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0029] With its simple structure, easy installation, and strong applicability, the display screen installed in the monitoring room can display the position and dimensions of the suspension cylinder in real time, eliminating the need for manual measurement and greatly reducing labor intensity and maintenance time.

The number of monitoring devices 2 is the same as the number of head ropes, and the monitoring devices 2 are fixed on the head rope suspension device 4 to monitor the elongation of the suspension cylinder in the head rope suspension device 4 in real time. The electrical control device 3 is electrically connected to the monitoring device 2 and is used to receive the elongation information of the suspension cylinder monitored by the monitoring device 2.

The wireless charging energy storage device 1 is electrically connected to the monitoring device 2 and the electrical control device 3 to provide power to the monitoring device 2 and the electrical control device 3.
[0040] The following provides a further explanation of the specific structure of the aforementioned wireless charging energy storage device.
[0041] The wireless charging energy storage device 1 includes a transmitting coil, a receiving coil, and a battery. The transmitting coil is fixed on the derrick and located at the normal stopping position of the hoisting container. The receiving coil is fixed on the top of the hoisting container. When the hoisting container is normally stopped, the receiving coil and the transmitting coil are on the same horizontal plane and arranged opposite to each other. The battery is fixed on the top of the hoisting container and electrically connected to the receiving coil. The battery is wirelessly charged through the transmitting coil and the receiving coil.
[0042] A further proposed solution is to ensure that the distance between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil is no more than 3cm, so that the transmitting coil and the receiving coil can charge the battery every time the vehicle stops.
[0043] A further proposed solution is to use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. LFP batteries are lithium-ion batteries that use lithium iron phosphate as the positive electrode material and carbon as the negative electrode material. A single cell has a rated voltage of 3.2V and a charging cut-off voltage of 3.6V~3.65V. LFP batteries have advantages such as high operating voltage, high energy density, long cycle life, good safety performance, low self-discharge rate, and no memory effect.

[0046] Further options, such as Figure 2 As shown, the displacement sensor employs a grating ruler, which consists of a scale grating 22 mounted in the middle of the holder 20 and a grating reading head 23 fixed to the top of the piston rod 5 by a clamp. The grating ruler is a measurement feedback device that operates based on the optical principle of a grating. Its measurement output signal is a digital pulse, featuring a large detection range, high detection accuracy, and fast response speed.
[0047] Further options, such as Figure 2 As shown, a position detection sensor 21 for limiting the extension and retraction range of the piston rod 5 is installed at the upper and lower ends of the retainer 20, respectively.
[0048] In a further embodiment, the retainer 20 is a square frame welded from stainless steel rectangular tubes, which is fixed to the head rope suspension device 4 by clamps 24.
[0049] The following provides a further explanation of the specific structure of the aforementioned wireless charging energy storage device.
[0050] The electrical control device 3 includes a controller, a wireless transmitter, a wireless receiver, and a prompting device. The controller is fixed on the top of the lifting container and electrically connected to the monitoring device 2. The wireless transmitter is fixed on the top of the lifting container and electrically connected to the controller. After receiving and processing the information transmitted by the monitoring device 2, the controller transmits the information to the outside through the wireless transmitter. The wireless receiver is installed in the monitoring room and is used to wirelessly receive the information transmitted by the wireless transmitter. The prompting device is electrically connected to the wireless receiver and is used to display the information transmitted by the wireless receiver.
[0051] In a further embodiment, the prompting device includes a display for displaying the real-time extension value of the suspension cylinder. When the extension value exceeds a preset value, the display issues an audible and visual alarm.
