Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire rope processing equipment, and specifically to a wire rope splice braiding device. Background Technology
[0002] In bridge-rail type slope gravity energy storage systems, 2-3 sets of wire ropes are typically arranged in parallel and connected by fixed supports to support and guide heavy objects to move along the slope to store or release energy. This system has extremely high requirements for the synchronization and stability of the wire ropes, especially the wire rope joints. It is essential to ensure that the strength and length of the braided joints are consistent and that there is no inconsistent tension under long-term dynamic loads; otherwise, it will directly affect the function of the fixed supports and the operating efficiency and safety of the entire system.
[0003] After the wire rope joint is braided, the tension inside the wire rope is gradually released through actual operation, and then the wire rope is tightened again through the wire rope tensioning device.
[0004] However, the conventional practice of releasing tension during actual operation and then tightening it again with a tensioning device can lead to inconsistent tension in the wire rope during subsequent operation due to the uncontrollable nature of the released tension. This inconsistent tension will cause uneven stress on the fixed support, affecting the stability of the entire bridge-rail inclined gravity energy storage system, reducing its efficiency and safety, and potentially causing system failure in severe cases. Therefore, this conventional practice is not suitable for bridge-rail inclined gravity energy storage systems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a wire rope splice weaving device includes a tensioning platform 1. Anchors 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the tensioning platform 1. Anchors 2 include a fixed bracket 3, a guide roller 4, a rotating bracket 5, a movable slide plate 6, and movable clamping blocks 7. The fixed bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the tensioning platform 1. The guide roller 4 is horizontally fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 3. The rotating bracket 5 is hinged to the fixed bracket 3. A first slide groove 8 is opened on the side of the rotating bracket 5. The movable slide plate 6 is slidably installed in the first slide groove 8. A second slide groove 9 is opened on the side of the movable slide plate 6. Two movable clamping blocks 7 are slidably installed in the second slide groove 9.
[0029] First, the two connectors 20 are passed through the two ends of the wire rope 19. At this time, the rotating brackets 5 in the two anchors 2 are in a horizontal state. Then, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are placed between the two movable clamps 7 in the corresponding anchors 2. Next, the two movable clamps 7 in the second slide groove 9 are slid to clamp the wire rope 19, and at the same time, the movable clamps 7 abut against the connectors 20. Then, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are braided so that the connectors 20 cannot slide out from the end of the wire rope 19. Then, the movable slide plate 6 in the first slide groove 8 is slid to tension the connectors 20 at both ends of the wire rope 19. After tensioning to a certain length, the rotating bracket 5 is rotated to make the rotating bracket 5 vertical. At this time, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are adjusted from a horizontal state to a vertical state by passing around the corresponding guide rollers 4, ensuring that the wire rope 19 can smoothly transition when adjusting the angle without jamming or twisting. Finally, impregnation glue (such as epoxy glue or polyurethane glue) is poured into the two joints 20. The glue fills the gaps around the joints 20. As the glue cures, it further enhances the stability and durability of the joints 20, completing the entire wire rope 19 joint 20 braiding work.
[0030] By coordinating the fixed bracket 3, guide roller 4, rotating bracket 5, movable slide plate 6, and movable clamping block 7, the tension of the wire rope 19 can be strictly controlled, ensuring that the length of the wire rope 19 remains consistent throughout the operation of the bridge-rail inclined gravity energy storage system, effectively avoiding inconsistent tension. This results in uniform force distribution on the fixed stop, greatly improving system stability and reducing the risk of system failure due to problems with the wire rope 19.
[0031] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the side of the rotating bracket 5 is provided with a first adjusting component 10 for adjusting the position of the movable slide plate 6 within the first slide groove 8. The first adjusting component 10 includes a first lead screw 11, which is rotatably disposed on the side of the rotating bracket 5 and located at the opening of the first slide groove 8. The movable slide plate 6 has a rotating hole that is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 11.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, the first adjusting component 10 further includes a handwheel, which is rotatably mounted on the side of the rotating bracket 5 and coaxially fixedly connected to the first lead screw 11. Specifically, after the two ends of the wire rope 19 are woven, the joints 20 at both ends of the wire rope 19 are tensioned using the first adjusting component 10. If operated manually, rotating the handwheel coaxially fixedly connected to the first lead screw 11 causes the first lead screw 11 to rotate accordingly. Since the movable slide plate 6 has a rotating hole that is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 11, the movable slide plate 6 slides smoothly in the first slide groove 8 under the action of threaded transmission, thereby achieving tensioning of the joints 20 of the wire rope 19.
[0033] In some specific implementations, the first adjusting component 10 further includes a first motor 12, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the rotating bracket 5, and its output end is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first lead screw 11. Specifically, after the two ends of the wire rope 19 are woven, the joints 20 at both ends of the wire rope 19 are tensioned using the first adjusting component 10. If automatic operation is selected, the first motor 12 fixed on the side of the rotating bracket 5 is started, and its output end drives the first lead screw 11 to rotate coaxially. Similarly, the movable slide plate 6 is moved by the threaded engagement to complete the tensioning. This adjustable tensioning method can precisely control the degree of tension of the wire rope 19, ensuring that the length and tension of each wire rope 19 are consistent after weaving. Unlike conventional methods where the tension release is uncontrollable, this device can precisely adjust the tension of the wire rope 19 according to actual needs and system requirements, avoiding the problem of inconsistent tension caused by tension differences.
[0034] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the side of the movable slide plate 6 is provided with a second adjusting assembly 13 for adjusting the position of the two movable clamping blocks 7 within the second slide groove 9. The second adjusting assembly 13 includes a second lead screw 14, which is rotatably disposed on the side of the movable slide plate 6 and located at the opening of the second slide groove 9. The movable clamping blocks 7 have threaded holes that are threadedly connected to the second lead screw 14. The second lead screw 14 has symmetrically distributed first and second threads with opposite helical directions, and the threaded holes of the movable clamping blocks 7 respectively engage with the first and second threads. The second adjusting assembly 13 also includes a second motor 15, which is fixedly disposed on the side of the movable slide plate 6, and the output end of the second motor 15 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the second lead screw 14.
[0035] Before starting the weaving process, the two connectors 20 are passed through the two ends of the wire rope 19, at which point the rotating bracket 5 in the anchor 2 is in a horizontal position. Then, the movable clamping block 7 is adjusted using the second adjusting assembly 13. The second motor 15, fixed to the side of the movable slide plate 6, is started, and its output drives the second lead screw 14 to rotate coaxially. Since the second lead screw 14 has symmetrically distributed first and second threads with opposite helical directions, and the threaded holes of the movable clamping block 7 are respectively engaged with the first and second threads, the two movable clamping blocks 7 will move relative to each other within the second slide groove 9 under the action of threaded transmission. When the movable clamping block 7 moves to the appropriate position, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are placed between the two movable clamping blocks 7 of the corresponding anchor 2, so that they clamp the wire rope 19 and simultaneously abut against the connectors 20. This fixing method using the second adjusting component 13 is more precise than simply manually sliding the movable clamp 7, ensuring the stability of the wire rope 19 in subsequent operations, laying a solid foundation for the tight connection between the joint 20 and the wire rope 19, and effectively preventing displacement or loosening during weaving and tensioning.
[0036] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the fixed bracket 3 has two adjustment holes 16 on its side, and the rotating bracket 5 has a positioning hole 17 on its side. Locking bolts 18 are installed through the adjustment holes 16 and the positioning hole 17.
[0037] After adjusting the angle of the rotating bracket 5, the locking bolt 18 can be inserted through the corresponding adjusting hole 16 and positioning hole 17 and tightened. In this way, the rotating bracket 5 is firmly fixed at the current angle, ensuring that the wire rope 19 always maintains a stable vertical state during subsequent operations such as glue application. The guide roller 4 can also continuously and stably play a guiding and supporting role, ensuring that the wire rope 19 can smoothly transition when adjusting the angle without jamming or twisting.
[0038] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of this solution will now be explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios:
[0039] First, the two connectors 20 are passed through the two ends of the wire rope 19. At this time, the rotating brackets 5 in the two anchors 2 are in a horizontal state. Then, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are placed between the two movable clamps 7 in the corresponding anchors 2. Next, the two movable clamps 7 in the second slide groove 9 are slid to clamp the wire rope 19, and at the same time, the movable clamps 7 abut against the connectors 20. Then, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are braided so that the connectors 20 cannot slide out from the end of the wire rope 19. Then, the movable slide plate 6 in the first slide groove 8 is slid to tension the connectors 20 at both ends of the wire rope 19. After tensioning to a certain length, the rotating bracket 5 is rotated to make the rotating bracket 5 vertical. At this time, the two ends of the wire rope 19 are adjusted from a horizontal state to a vertical state by passing around the corresponding guide rollers 4, ensuring that the wire rope 19 can smoothly transition when adjusting the angle without jamming or twisting. Finally, impregnation glue (such as epoxy glue or polyurethane glue) is poured into the two joints 20. The glue fills the gaps around the joints 20. As the glue cures, it further enhances the stability and durability of the joints 20, completing the entire wire rope 19 joint 20 braiding work.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
