[0017] (1) This utility model provides a winding protection component on the bottom side of the support base. The winding protection component has a central through hole in the middle of the limiting and fixing strip. Two sponge plates are symmetrically arranged in the central through hole. The sponge plates are soaked with lubricating oil transported in the oil storage tank. When the wire rope moves through the central through hole, the lubricating oil stored in the sponge plate can coat the surface of the wire rope, thereby forming a layer of grease protective film on the surface of the wire rope to prevent moisture and air from contacting it, thus playing a role in rust prevention and greatly reducing the risk of breakage. It is safer and more reliable to use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 ,
[0025] Example 1: A gate hoist for a hydropower station includes a support base frame 1, a winding roller 2 is provided at the top of the support base frame 1, a steel wire rope 5 is wound on the winding roller 2, a side support plate 3 is provided on the side of the top of the support base frame 1, and a drive motor box 4 is provided on the other side of the top of the support base frame 1. The side of the winding roller 2 is rotatably connected to the side support plate 3 through a rotating shaft, and the drive motor box 4 is rotatably connected to the side of the winding roller 2 through a drive shaft. Two bottom support plates 6 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom end of the support base frame 1, and a winding protection assembly 7 is provided at the bottom end of the support base frame 1.
[0026] The winding protection assembly 7 includes a limiting and fixing strip 701 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base 1. The limiting and fixing strip 701 has a central through hole 702 in the middle. Two guide blocks 703 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the central through hole 702. Two mounting frames 704 are symmetrically arranged inside the central through hole 702. Several sponge boards 705 are arranged on the sides of each mounting frame 704. Two limiting through holes 706 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the central through hole 702. A contact connecting rod 707 is inserted into each limiting through hole 706. One end of the contact connecting rod 707 passes through the limiting through hole 706 and is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 704. The other end of the contact connecting rod 707 passes through the limiting and fixing strip 701. A contact spring 708 is sleeved on the contact connecting rod 707.
[0027] One end of the contact spring 708 is connected to the body of the contact connecting rod 707, and the other end of the contact spring 708 is connected to the outer wall of the limiting fixing strip 701. Two oil reservoirs 709 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting fixing strip 701. Each oil reservoir 709 has an oil inlet 710. Several side mounting holes 711 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the limiting fixing strip 701. Several oil delivery pipes 712 are evenly arranged on the side of the oil reservoirs 709. The oil delivery pipes 712 extend through the side mounting holes 711 to the side of the sponge plate 705. The steel wire rope 5 passes through the central through hole 702 and passes through the side of the sponge plate 705.
[0028] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the side of the top of the guide block 703 is inclined in an arc shape.
[0029] This guides the wire rope 5 as it passes through the central through hole 702, reducing direct friction between the wire rope 5 and the side wall of the central through hole 702.
[0030] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the side of the mounting frame 704 is glued to the sponge board 705.
[0031] This makes the connection between the sponge board 705 and the mounting frame 704 more stable.
[0032] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that a baffle is provided at the end of the connecting rod 707.
[0033] This makes the contact spring 708 more securely mounted on the contact connecting rod 707.
[0034] In this embodiment, because existing hydropower stations use winch-type gate hoists, the steel wire ropes used for hoisting are subjected to large tensions during actual operation and are often exposed to humid air and dust, causing water and dust to easily accumulate in the gaps between the rope strands, which can easily lead to internal rusting, reduce its strength and flexibility, greatly increase the risk of breakage, and pose a significant safety hazard.
[0035] In summary, in specific implementation, a winding protection component 7 is provided at the bottom of the support base 1. The limiting and fixing strip 701 in the winding protection component 7 is located at the bottom of the support base 1, and the bottom end of the wire rope 5 passes through the central through hole 702. Two guide blocks 703 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall at the top of the central through hole 702. The guide blocks 703 can guide the wire rope 5 passing through the central through hole 702, thereby avoiding excessive friction between the wire rope 5 and the side wall of the central through hole 702, which can easily cause damage. Two sponge plates 705 are symmetrically arranged inside the central through hole 702, and two oil tanks 709 are symmetrically arranged outside the limiting and fixing strip 701. Lubricating oil is added to the oil tanks 709 through the oil inlet 710, and the lubricating oil is transported to the side of the sponge plate 705 through the oil delivery pipe 712, thereby soaking into the sponge plate 705.
[0036] When the steel wire rope 5 passing through the central through hole 702 rubs against the side of the sponge plate 705, the lubricating oil impregnated in the sponge plate 705 lubricates the surface of the steel wire rope 5 during its winding and unwinding process. The side of the sponge plate 705 is fixedly connected by the mounting frame 704, and the side of the mounting frame 704 is elastically fixed by the contact connecting rod 707 and the contact spring 708 sleeved on it. This ensures that the sponge plate 705 always maintains contact with the side wall of the steel wire rope 5, resulting in better lubrication of the steel wire rope 5. This reduces friction during use and forms a protective film on the surface of the steel wire rope 5, preventing moisture and air from contacting it and providing rust prevention. This greatly reduces the risk of breakage and makes it safer and more reliable to use.
