Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope maintenance technology, and in particular to a wire rope cleaning, lubrication and maintenance device. Background Technology
[0002] Lubrication forms an oil film between the strands and wires of the wire rope, reducing the coefficient of friction during mechanical movement, reducing wear caused by direct metal-to-metal contact, and extending the service life of the wire rope. The lubricating grease applied after cleaning can isolate moisture, oxygen and corrosive media, preventing the wire rope from rusting due to oxidation or electrochemical action.
[0003] For example, CN118002529B discloses a multifunctional steel wire rope cleaning device, including a base with a winding mechanism; a preparatory part on the base for preparing to install the washing part; a transfer part on the base with a cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism including two docking seats slidably disposed on the transfer part, each docking seat having a docking ring fixedly connected to it, a rotating ring rotatably mounted on the inner side of the docking ring, an inner mounting ring on the inner side of the rotating ring, and a mating mounting groove on the inner side of the inner mounting ring, the washing part slidingly mating in the mating mounting groove.
[0004] However, in the existing technology, if the wire rope deviates during the cleaning and lubrication process, the lubricant cannot be evenly covered on its surface, resulting in insufficient lubrication in some areas, which will aggravate wear. At the same time, excessive local lubrication will cause slippage or oil accumulation, affecting the friction between the wire rope and pulleys and drums, and even causing unstable equipment operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art where the steel wire rope deviates, resulting in the lubricant not being able to evenly cover its surface, and to propose a steel wire rope cleaning, lubrication and maintenance device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wire rope cleaning, lubrication and maintenance device, including a base plate, a first cleaning frame fixedly connected to the top center of the base plate, and two locking mechanisms symmetrically installed on the top of the base plate;
[0007] The locking mechanism includes a support frame, a ring body fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a rotating ring slidably connected to the inner side of the ring body, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating ring, a drive sleeve fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod, a linkage rod slidably connected to the inner side of the drive sleeve, a central rod fixedly connected to one end of the linkage rod, and the central rod rotatably connected to the side wall of the ring body.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of one end of the linkage rod.
[0009] Preferably, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the side wall of the ring, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating block.
[0010] Preferably, a drive block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the threaded rod, and one end of the drive block is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rotating ring.
[0011] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod.
[0012] Preferably, the rotating ring has multiple support rods fixedly connected to its side wall, and one end of each support rod is fixedly connected to a fixing ring.
[0013] Preferably, a second cleaning frame is mounted on top of the first cleaning frame, and a connecting screw is threaded between the first cleaning frame and the second cleaning frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. In this invention, when the handle is turned, the rotation of the threaded rod causes the drive block to move axially, further pushing the rotating ring to rotate within its inner side, thus causing a change in the position of the drive sleeve. The drive sleeve rotates around the rotating rod, making the movement smoother, and simultaneously acts on the linkage rod, causing it to rotate around the positioning roller and closely adhere to the wire rope. The adjustment of the positioning roller not only ensures the stable pulling of the wire rope, but also optimizes its cleaning and lubrication effects, making the force even, reducing frictional loss, thereby extending the service life of the wire rope and improving the reliability of equipment operation.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the efficient cleaning and lubrication of the wire rope is achieved through the stable cooperation of the first and second cleaning frames. After the wire rope is stably positioned within the cleaning frames, lubricating oil is evenly delivered through the oil injection holes, and its moving speed and rotation angle are adjusted by the control device to ensure that its surface is fully covered. The equipped flexible bristles or cleaning rollers can physically scrub the wire rope during its movement, effectively removing dirt and impurities while ensuring that the lubricating oil fully penetrates, thereby reducing frictional loss and extending the service life of the wire rope. In addition, the use of a special lubricant that is resistant to high temperatures and oxidation can meet the needs of different working conditions, improving the reliability and safety of equipment operation.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a wire rope cleaning, lubrication and maintenance device, including a base plate 1, a first cleaning frame 3 fixedly connected to the top center of the base plate 1, and two locking mechanisms 2 symmetrically installed on the top of the base plate 1;
[0025] The locking mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21. A ring 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 21. A rotating ring 23 is slidably connected to the inner side of the ring 22. A rotating rod 251 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating ring 23. A drive sleeve 25 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 251. A linkage rod 24 is slidably connected to the inner side of the drive sleeve 25. A central rod 242 is fixedly connected to one end of the linkage rod 24, and the central rod 242 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the ring 22. A positioning roller 241 is rotatably connected to the inner side of one end of the linkage rod 24.
[0026] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. During maintenance, the two locking mechanisms 2 can accurately position the wire rope, ensuring its stability during maintenance. During this process, when the handle 261 is rotated, it drives the threaded rod 26 to rotate, causing the drive block 231 to move axially along the threaded rod 26. As the drive block 231 moves, it gradually drives the rotating ring 23 to move synchronously. Because the ring body 22 constrains the rotating ring 23, the rotating ring 23 can only rotate inside the ring body 22, thus causing a change in the spatial position of the drive sleeve 25.
[0027] While moving, the drive sleeve 25 rotates around the rotating rod 251, making its overall movement more stable. When the position of the drive sleeve 25 changes, it applies a force to the linkage rod 24, causing the linkage rod 24 to rotate around the positioning roller 241. At this time, the positioning roller 241 will shift and come into close contact with the wire rope. During the pulling of the wire rope, the adjustment of the positioning roller 241 ensures the stability of the wire rope during maintenance operations and prevents it from shifting. At the same time, the proper configuration of the positioning roller 241 optimizes the cleaning and lubrication of the wire rope, ensures uniform force on the surface of the wire rope, reduces frictional loss, thereby extending its service life and improving the reliability of equipment operation.
[0028] Example 2: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotating block 27 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the ring 22, and a threaded rod 26 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating block 27. A driving block 231 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the threaded rod 26, and one end of the driving block 231 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rotating ring 23. A handle 261 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 26. Multiple support rods 232 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating ring 23, and a fixing ring 28 is fixedly connected to one end of each support rod 232. A second cleaning frame 4 is installed on the top of the first cleaning frame 3, and a connecting screw 5 is threadedly connected between the first cleaning frame 3 and the second cleaning frame 4.
[0029] The overall effect of this embodiment is that, when maintaining the wire rope, it is first placed inside the first cleaning frame 3 to ensure its stable positioning. Subsequently, by tightening the connecting screw 5, the second cleaning frame 4 is firmly fixed to the first cleaning frame 3, ensuring the stability and sealing of the cleaning device, so as to facilitate efficient cleaning and lubrication operations later.
[0030] To improve maintenance effectiveness, the top of the second cleaning frame 4 is equipped with an oil injection hole, through which lubricating oil can be easily delivered, allowing it to penetrate evenly to all parts of the wire rope. During lubrication, the moving speed and rotation angle of the wire rope can be adjusted via a control device, ensuring it rotates evenly within the cleaning frame and receives comprehensive lubrication and cleaning. This method not only effectively removes dirt, dust, and impurities from the surface of the wire rope but also ensures that the lubricating oil fully covers the surface, reducing friction and wear during use, extending service life, and ensuring its stability and safety under various working conditions.
[0031] In addition, the cleaning frame can be equipped with flexible bristles or cleaning rollers to physically scrub the surface as the wire rope rotates and moves, further enhancing the cleaning effect. Meanwhile, a special lubricant with high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance can be selected to meet the needs of different environmental conditions.
[0032] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: When maintaining the wire rope, it is placed inside the first cleaning frame 3. The second cleaning frame 4 is fixedly connected to the first cleaning frame 3 through the connecting screw 5. At the same time, the oil injection hole on the top of the second cleaning frame 4 facilitates the delivery of lubricating oil.
[0033] During lubrication operations, comprehensive lubrication and cleaning can be achieved by controlling the movement and rotation of the wire rope. During maintenance, two sets of locking mechanisms 2 position the wire rope: when the handle 261 is turned, the threaded rod 26 rotates, the drive block 231 is displaced, and the rotating ring 23 rotates inside the ring body 22, thereby changing the spatial position of the drive sleeve 25. At this time, the drive sleeve 25 will rotate around the rotating rod 251, and through the linkage rod 24, drive the positioning roller 241 to rotate around its central axis. When the positioning roller 241 abuts against the surface of the wire rope, it forms a dynamic constraint during the wire rope's pulling process, ensuring its stable position and thus guaranteeing the cleaning and lubrication effect.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
