Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire rope transition, specifically a wire rope open outer arc ring transition connector. Background Technology
[0002] Steel wire ropes are widely used in many industrial applications due to their high strength, flexibility and adaptability. In use, steel wire ropes often use a swivel ring as a transition point for rotation, which can alleviate the load on the steel wire rope.
[0003] In existing technologies, when using augers for wire rope transitions, open or closed augers are commonly used. Open augers are made of pressed steel sheets with a teardrop shape on the side, featuring an outer U-shaped groove and an inner inverted U-shaped ridge. The outer groove supports the rope, while the inner ridge carries the rope or the sling. Closed augers are made of cast steel plates with a teardrop shape on the side, an outer U-shaped groove, and an inner rounded hole. The outer groove supports the rope, while the inner hole carries the rope or an open connector. However, open augers are prone to deformation during use, affecting their lifespan and the stability and safety of the wire rope transition. Furthermore, closed augers, being closed-ended, are difficult to connect to closed connectors, thus limiting their usability.
[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a wire rope open outer arc ring transition connector to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A wire rope open outer arc ring transition connector includes a lifting ring, a connecting body movably connected to the inner cavity of the lifting ring, an annular hole on the top of the connecting body, an anti-rotation pin in the inner cavity of the annular hole, a notch on one side of the connecting body, an outer arc groove on the outer ring of the connecting body, a wire rope in the inner cavity of the outer arc groove on the surface of the connecting body, and an inner arc ridge on the inner ring surface of the connecting body.
[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, the wire rope is divided into multiple strands and arranged in a regular manner within the inner cavity of the connecting outer arc groove, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the wire rope are adapted to the dimensions of the connecting outer arc groove.
[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, the anti-rotation pin is cylindrical and can be fixed in the annular hole, and the anti-rotation pin can also be a bolt, nut, or cotter pin.
[0009] Furthermore, in this invention, the outer arc groove on the surface of the connector is a U-shaped arc groove, and the inner arc ridge on the inner ring surface of the connector is an inverted U-shaped arc ridge.
[0010] Beneficial effects: This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] This utility model features a notch on one side of the connector, facilitating connection with various types of lifting rings and expanding its applicability. The outer arc groove of the connector supports the wire rope, while the inner arc ridge carries the wire rope or lifting ring. This effectively disperses the tension on a single wire rope, providing good support and preventing deformation. Furthermore, the even distribution of the wire rope within the outer arc groove reduces the load-bearing capacity of a single wire rope and minimizes uneven stress and friction between the rope and the connector, effectively extending the rope's lifespan. An anti-rotation pin secures the connector to the ring hole, preventing rotation and fall or damage to the wire rope from sharp edges during load transitions, thus enhancing the rope's safety.

[0018] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a wire rope open outer arc ring transition connector, including a lifting ring 4. A connecting body 1 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the lifting ring 4. The top of the connecting body 1 is provided with an annular hole, and the inner cavity of the annular hole is provided with an anti-rotation pin 2. A notch is provided on one side of the connecting body 1. An outer arc groove is provided on the outer ring of the connecting body 1, and a wire rope 3 is provided in the inner cavity of the outer arc groove on the surface of the connecting body 1. An inner arc ridge is provided on the inner ring surface of the connecting body 1.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the connecting body 1 effectively disperses the tension borne by a single wire rope 3, while allowing the wire rope 3 to be evenly distributed within the inner cavity of the outer arc groove on the surface of the connecting body 1 for a smooth transition. This reduces the load-bearing capacity of a single wire rope 3 and reduces the uneven force and friction between the wire rope 3 and the connecting body 1, effectively extending the service life of the wire rope 3. The notch on one side of the connecting body 1 facilitates connection with different types of lifting rings 4, effectively increasing its application range. The forces exerted by the wire rope 3 supported by the outer arc groove on the surface of the connecting body 1 and the wire rope 3 or lifting ring 4 supported by the inner arc ridge are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The connecting body 1 serves as the foundation for bearing the compression, providing structural support and effectively preventing deformation. The anti-rotation pin 2, fixed in the ring hole, effectively prevents the connecting body 1 from rotating and falling off or the sharp edge of the notch from damaging the wire rope 3 during the transition of the load, thereby improving the safety of the wire rope 3 during the transition.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0024] In this embodiment, the wire rope 3 is divided into multiple strands and is arranged in a regular manner in the inner cavity of the outer arc groove of the connector 1. The cross-sectional dimensions of the wire rope 3 are adapted to the dimensions of the outer arc groove of the connector 1.
[0025] The anti-rotation pin 2 is cylindrical and can be fixed in the annular hole. The anti-rotation pin 2 can also be made of bolts, nuts, or cotter pins.
[0026] The outer arc groove on the surface of connector 1 is a U-shaped arc groove, and the inner arc ridge on the inner ring surface of connector 1 is an inverted U-shaped arc ridge.
[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, by evenly arranging the wire ropes 3 within the inner cavity of the outer arc groove of the connector 1, the wire ropes 3 can smoothly transition, reducing the uneven force between the wire ropes 3 and the connector 1. Furthermore, by matching the cross-sectional dimensions of the wire ropes 3 with the dimensions of the outer arc groove of the connector 1, the tension borne by each wire rope 3 can be effectively distributed, reducing friction during the transition and effectively improving the safety of the wire rope transition. By fixing the anti-rotation pin 2 in the ring hole, it is possible to prevent the connector 1 from rotating and falling off or damaging the wire ropes 3 with sharp edges or notches during the transition of bearing load on the wire ropes 3.
[0028] In use, first connect the connector 1 to the lifting ring 4, and place the wire rope 3 inside the connector 1. Fix the anti-rotation pin 2 inside the ring hole of the connector 1, thus achieving a smooth transition for the wire rope 3. During the transition, the connector 1 effectively disperses the tension borne by a single wire rope 3, and allows the wire rope 3 to be evenly distributed within the inner cavity of the outer arc groove on the surface of the connector 1 for a smooth transition. This reduces the load-bearing capacity of a single wire rope 3 and reduces the uneven force and friction between the wire rope 3 and the connector 1, effectively extending the service life of the wire rope 3. The notch on one side of the connector 1 facilitates connection with different styles of lifting rings 4, effectively increasing its range of applications. The forces exerted by the steel wire rope 3 supported by the outer arc groove on the surface of the connector 1 and the steel wire rope 3 or lifting ring 4 supported by the inner arc ridge are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The connector 1 serves as the foundation for bearing the compression, thus providing structural support and effectively preventing deformation. The anti-rotation pin 2 is fixed in the ring hole, which effectively prevents the connector 1 from rotating and falling off or the sharp edge of the notch from damaging the steel wire rope 3 during the transition of bearing load, thereby improving the safety of the steel wire rope 3 during the transition.
