Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator testing technology, specifically to a wire rope breakage detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of elevator inspection, the safety of wire rope, as a core component for load-bearing and transmission, is paramount. Current technologies for wire rope breakage detection primarily employ tension sensors, vibration sensors, or visual inspection systems. For example, some devices detect breakage by monitoring changes in wire rope tension; however, such methods lack sensitivity for small-strand breaks or scenarios with insignificant tension changes, easily leading to missed detections. Furthermore, traditional mechanical detection devices are complex in structure, have high installation and maintenance costs, and are susceptible to environmental vibrations or dust interference, posing a risk of false alarms. Other solutions rely on electronic sensor arrays, which can improve accuracy, but their circuit design is complex and costly, and they have stringent installation requirements, making them difficult to adapt to the diverse needs of different elevator models. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a wire rope breakage detection device to solve the problems of existing wire rope breakage detection devices having complex installation structures and being unable to detect abnormal situations such as small strand breakage in wire ropes in a timely manner.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wire rope breakage detection device, including a rope end plate, a mounting bracket connected to the top of the rope end plate, the mounting bracket being located on the side of the rope end plate connected to the spring, an induction switch connected to one side of the top of the mounting bracket, and an induction plate connected to the other side of the top of the mounting bracket, one end of the induction plate being located at the top of the spring, and the other end of the induction plate being located at the top of the sensor of the induction switch.
[0005] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the steel wire rope breaks or a small strand breaks during elevator operation, the spring of the rope end device will rebound, pushing one end of the sensing plate upward. The other end of the sensing plate will trigger the induction switch, sending a signal to indicate that the steel wire rope has malfunctioned. The entire process is achieved through mechanical linkage, with a simple structure, convenient installation, and no interference with other elevator structures. It can detect the breakage of the steel wire rope in a timely and accurate manner, ensuring the safe operation of the elevator.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The mechanical linkage structure of "mounting bracket + induction plate" simplifies the complex design of traditional electronic detection systems and solves the problem of structural redundancy in existing technologies. 2. The direct connection between the mounting bracket and the rope head plate is compatible with various elevator models, reducing modification costs; the design of the induction plate and induction switch reduces environmental interference and improves reliability. 3. This utility model can detect small strand fractures in real time, filling the gap in existing technologies for detecting minute fractures and significantly improving elevator operation safety. 4. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, making it suitable for large-scale promotion and meeting the elevator industry's demand for efficient and low-cost detection devices.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is U-shaped. This U-shaped bracket design enhances structural stability, facilitates installation in confined spaces, and adapts to different elevator layouts.
[0008] Furthermore, the end of the mounting bracket connected to the sensing plate is higher than the other end. This height difference design optimizes the lever effect of the sensing plate, amplifies the minute displacement of the spring, and improves detection sensitivity.
[0009] Furthermore, the inductive switch is connected to the mounting bracket via a miniature bracket. Fixing the inductive switch with the miniature bracket ensures stable signal transmission and prevents false triggering due to vibration.
[0010] Furthermore, the sensing plate is seamlessly fitted to the top of the spring. This seamless fit eliminates mechanical gaps, reduces errors, ensures accurate and reliable detection, and avoids missed or false alarms.
[0011] Furthermore, a gap is left between the sensing plate and the sensor of the inductive switch. This gap further improves the accuracy of the detection. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a wire rope breakage detection device according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0014] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: 1. Induction plate; 2. Miniature bracket; 3. Rope end plate; 4. Induction switch; 5. Mounting bracket.
[0015] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1As shown: A wire rope breakage detection device includes a rope end plate 3, a sensing plate 1, and a mounting bracket 5. The mounting bracket 5 is U-shaped, with its left end higher than its right end. The mounting bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the rope end plate 3 by bolts. The mounting bracket 5 is located on the right side of the rope end plate 3 where a spring is provided. A miniature bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the top right end of the mounting bracket 5. A sensor of the induction switch 4 is fixedly connected to the miniature bracket 2. The sensor of the induction switch 4 is located at the top right end of the mounting bracket 5. The middle part of the sensing plate 1 is fixedly connected to the top left end of the mounting bracket 5 by bolts. The left end of the sensing plate 1 is located at the top of the spring, and the sensing plate 1 fits seamlessly with the top of the spring. The right end of the sensing plate 1 is located at the top of the sensor of the induction switch 4, and there is a gap between the sensing plate 1 and the sensor of the induction switch 4.
[0016] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the wire rope is in a normal state, the spring maintains a certain amount of compression, so that one end of the induction plate 1 is tightly attached to the top of the spring, and the other end is located at the top of the sensor of the induction switch 4. At this time, the induction switch 4 is not triggered, and the elevator operates normally. When the elevator wire rope breaks or a small strand breaks, the spring of the rope end device will rebound upward due to the change in tension. When the spring rebounds, it pushes the induction plate 1 installed above it to move upward. The other end of the induction plate 1 is connected to the induction switch 4. When the induction plate 1 is pushed up by the spring, its other end will trigger the induction switch 4, causing the induction switch 4 to send an electrical signal. This signal can immediately notify the elevator control system of the abnormality of the wire rope, thereby realizing a rapid alarm or shutdown. The entire device is fixed with bolts, which is easy to install. The distance between the induction switch 4 and the induction plate 1 is adjustable to ensure sensitive and reliable detection, while not interfering with the normal operation of other elevator structures.
