Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator steel belt detection technology, specifically a sensor for detecting the tension of steel belts. Background Technology
[0002] In elevator wire rope tension testing, using a load cell is a common and effective method. Load cells can accurately measure the tension of the elevator steel belt or wire rope, ensuring the safety and stability of the elevator system.
[0003] Load sensors detect the force applied to them by a steel belt or wire rope and convert it into an electrical signal. Common load sensors are based on strain gauge technology. When the tension of the steel belt or wire rope is applied to the sensor, the strain gauge inside the sensor deforms, causing a change in resistance. This change is converted into an electrical signal output through a Wheatstone bridge circuit, thereby measuring the magnitude of the tension force.
[0004] Existing tension force sensors typically clamp steel strips and then test the tension. However, existing sensors may shift during clamping, potentially causing them to fail to accurately detect the true tension of the steel strip, resulting in measurement errors and affecting the accuracy of monitoring. Therefore, they do not meet the current requirements. To address this, we propose a sensor for detecting the tension force of steel strips. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1: This example aims to address the problem that existing tension force sensors typically clamp the steel strip and then test the tension. However, existing sensors may shift during clamping, potentially causing them to fail to accurately detect the true tension of the steel strip, resulting in measurement errors and affecting the accuracy of monitoring. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 A sensor for detecting the tension of a steel strip includes a sensor body 110 and a bracket 111. The sensor body 110 is mounted on the bracket 111. A fixing frame 112 for fixing the steel strip is installed on the bracket 111. A placement groove 113 for placing the steel strip is opened in the fixing frame 112. A push plate 114 is provided on the fixing frame 112. A support rod 115 is inserted into the push plate 114. A clamping rod 116 that contacts the steel strip is sleeved on the support rod 115. A control groove 117 is opened on the bracket 111. A push rod 118 for controlling the push plate 114 is inserted into the control groove 117.
[0024] A sliding rod 120 is installed at the bottom of the push plate 114. A sliding groove 121 corresponding to the sliding rod 120 is opened in the fixing frame 112, and the sliding rod 120 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 121. An auxiliary cavity 123 is opened in the fixing frame 112, which communicates with the sliding groove 121. An auxiliary rack 124 is provided in the auxiliary cavity 123. An auxiliary gear 125 corresponding to the auxiliary rack 124 is sleeved on the sliding rod 120. The auxiliary gear 125 is rotatably inserted into the sliding rod 120, and the auxiliary rack 124 meshes with the auxiliary rack 124.
[0025] The push plate 114 has a groove 130 corresponding to the push rod 118. One end of the push rod 118 is rotatably inserted into the groove 130, and the other end of the push rod 118 is equipped with a control handle 131 for controlling it. The control handle 131 is covered with an anti-slip sleeve 132. An internal threaded ring 133 is provided in the control groove 117, and an external threaded ring 134 corresponding to the internal threaded ring 133 is provided on the outside of the push rod 118. The external threaded ring 134 and the internal threaded ring 133 are threadedly engaged.
[0026] The sensor body 110 is fixed to the bracket 111 to ensure stable sensor positioning and prevent displacement. The sensor is then secured around the steel strip using the mounting bracket 112, ensuring accurate contact with the strip for tension testing. The steel strip to be tested is placed in the placement slot 113 within the mounting bracket 112, ensuring it is fully inserted for accurate measurement. The placed steel strip is aligned with the clamping components of the sensor body 110 for accurate clamping. The control handle 131 is operated, and the push rod 118 moves along the control slot 117 via the engagement of the push rod 118 and the internal and external threaded rings 134.
[0027] The movement of push rod 118 moves push plate 114 toward the steel strip, pushing support rod 115 to gradually press it against the steel strip. The bottom sliding rod 120 of push plate 114 moves smoothly within sliding groove 121. Simultaneously, push rod 118 pushes push plate 114, causing auxiliary gear 125 to rotate. As auxiliary gear 125 rotates, it meshes with auxiliary rack 124, making push plate 114 more stable during movement and reducing measurement errors caused by the offset of clamping rod 116. With the push plate 114 being pushed, clamping rod 116 clamps the steel strip, ensuring precise transmission of tension to sensor body 110.
[0028] The clamping rod 116 performs tensile testing through contact with the steel strip. Due to the coordination of clamping and control of the support rod 115, good contact between the clamping rod 116 and the steel strip is maintained, ensuring that no deviation occurs during tension measurement. During clamping, if the auxiliary rack 124 is designed to mesh with the auxiliary gear 125, the clamping state can be further stabilized and the tension measurement can be made more reliable.
[0029] Once clamped, the sensor body 110 begins detecting the tension on the steel strip, converting the tension value into a corresponding electrical signal via the embedded measurement module. The measurement results are transmitted to the monitoring system in real time for operator confirmation and analysis. The operating system or display terminal displays the data to the operator, facilitating real-time monitoring and assessment of the steel strip's operating status. If the measured value exceeds the safe range, the system can issue an alarm and recommend appropriate maintenance.
[0030] After the measurement is completed, the operator can operate the control crank 131 again to return the push rod 118 to its original position, causing the push plate 114 and clamping rod 116 to release the steel strip. The steel strip is then removed from the placement slot 113, ending the measurement.
[0031] In this embodiment: the cooperation between the sliding rod 120 and the sliding groove 121, and the meshing between the auxiliary rack 124 and the auxiliary gear 125, effectively prevent the push plate 114 and the clamping rod 116 from shifting when clamping the steel strip, improving the stability of clamping, ensuring that the sensor can accurately sense the true tension of the steel strip, thereby reducing measurement errors and ensuring the accuracy of tension force measurement. Through the design of the control handle 131 and the threaded engagement, the operator can easily control the movement of the push plate 114 and the clamping rod 116, making the sensor operation simple and easy, reducing complex manual operations, and improving work efficiency.
[0032] Example 2 aims to address the issues of sensor loosening and misalignment caused by vibration or other external factors during use. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The bracket 111 is equipped with a mounting plate 140 for external installation. The mounting plate 140 has a threaded hole 141, and a threaded rod 142 is inserted into the threaded hole 141.
[0033] A protective shell 143 for protecting the sensor body 110 is mounted on the bracket 111, and the protective shell 143 is located between the mounting plate 140 and the bracket 111. The protective shell 143 effectively protects the sensor body 110, preventing damage to the sensor from external impacts, dust, moisture, etc. during operation. The push plate 114 is designed as an L-plate, and a wear-resistant layer 144 is provided on the outside of the clamping rod 116. Designing the push plate 114 as an L-plate provides a larger force-bearing area, thereby allowing the push plate 114 to distribute pressure more evenly when clamping the steel strip.
[0034] In this embodiment: by providing a mounting plate 140 and threaded holes 141 on the bracket 111, the sensor and other components can be more securely fixed, which improves the connection strength between the bracket 111 and the sensor body 110, reduces loosening and displacement caused by vibration or other external factors, and ensures the stability and accuracy of the sensor during use. The wear-resistant layer 144 provided on the outside of the clamping rod 116 improves its wear resistance when in contact with the steel strip, reduces wear caused by frequent clamping and releasing, and ensures that the clamping rod 116 maintains good performance during long-term use.
