Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of installation technology, and in particular to a steel wire rope sheath installation and heat shrinking device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional steel wire ropes are relatively fragile. Under the combined effects of high temperature and tension, their tensile strength drops sharply, posing a risk of breakage and causing the pre-tensioning function to fail, threatening the safety of occupants. Traditional designs lack structures that effectively isolate high-temperature gases and rely solely on the heat resistance of the material itself, which cannot meet the requirements of extreme working conditions.

[0003] In early designs, the wire ropes relied solely on a simple cloth wrapping with a galvanizing machine, lacking effective heat insulation and sealing structures. Furthermore, the cloth was prone to wear and tear and could not effectively isolate high-temperature gases. The galvanized layer was also prone to peeling off during long-term friction, leading to wire rope corrosion. Therefore, a sheath with good heat insulation properties is needed to tightly wrap the wire rope, preventing the penetration of high-temperature gases and avoiding localized temperature accumulation.

[0004] In the past, uneven heating or uneven tube thickness occurred during heat shrinking of the sheath, resulting in poor wire rope performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a wire rope sheath installation and heat shrinking device that can overcome the problems existing in the prior art, perform uniform heat shrinking of the sheath, achieve high efficiency, and realize efficient protection of the wire rope.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wire rope sheath installation and heat shrinking device, comprising a frame, a sheath installation mechanism, a transfer mechanism, a heat shrinking mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The sheath installation mechanism, transfer mechanism, heat shrinking mechanism, and feeding mechanism are all connected by a transfer mechanism. The sheath installation mechanism includes a first installation fixture, which is a split type, comprising a first installation part for placing the wire rope lock head, a second installation part for placing the sheath, and a lifting mechanism disposed between the first installation part and the second installation part. The heat shrinking mechanism includes a third installation fixture, a second cylinder, an upper shell mechanism, a heating component, and a lower shell mechanism. The third installation fixture is integral and fixedly installed on the second cylinder. The heating component is disposed between the upper shell mechanism and the lower shell mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, after the lifting mechanism moves upward, it is on the same horizontal plane as the first mounting part and the second mounting part.

[0008] Preferably, the second mounting part is moved horizontally above the lifting mechanism to install the sheath.

[0009] Preferably, the sheath installation mechanism further includes a sheath suction mechanism and a material storage mechanism, wherein the sheath suction mechanism includes a power mechanism and a suction cup fixedly installed with the power mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the transfer mechanism includes a second mounting fixture and a first cylinder, wherein the second mounting fixture is integrally formed and fixedly mounted on the first cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the second mounting fixture is further provided with several first sensors for detecting the presence of the object.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a power source for driving the conveyor belt to move.

[0013] Preferably, a second sensor for detecting the presence is provided above the third mounting fixture.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the wire rope sheath installation and heat shrinking device of this utility model solves the problems of inaccurate manual installation position and uneven heat shrinking of the sheath by installing the sheath and heat shrinking the sheath, and prevents the subsequent high temperature gas from seeping in.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0023] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, the wire rope sheath installation and heat shrinking device of this utility model is used to first wrap the sheath 100 around the wire rope 200, and then heat shrink the sheath 100. It includes a frame 10, and a sheath installation mechanism, a transfer mechanism, a heat shrinking mechanism, and a feeding mechanism mounted on the frame 10. The sheath installation mechanism, transfer mechanism, heat shrinking mechanism, and feeding mechanism are all connected by different transfer mechanisms 30, which are used to transfer the product assembly 300 composed of the wire rope 200 and the sheath 100.

[0024] The sheath installation mechanism includes a first installation fixture, which is a split type, including a first installation part 16 and a second installation part 17. A lifting mechanism 18 is provided between the first installation part 16 and the second installation part 17. The first installation part 16 is used to place the wire rope lock head, and the second installation part 17 is used to place the sheath 100. The second installation part 17 moves towards the first installation part 16 to install the sheath 100 at a set position on the wire rope 200. Then the second installation part 17 returns to its original position. At this time, the lifting mechanism 18 rises to a position level with the first installation part 16 and the second installation part 17 to support the sheath 100 and prevent the position of the sheath 100 from moving away from the wire rope lock head before the transfer mechanism 30 grabs it, which would cause the subsequent heat shrinking of the sheath 100 to be incorrect. The sheath installation mechanism also includes a sheath suction mechanism and a material storage mechanism 31. The sheath suction mechanism includes a power mechanism 32 and a suction cup 33 fixedly installed with the power mechanism 32. The sheath suction mechanism is used to suction the sheath 100 in the material storage mechanism 31 and then move it to the second installation part 17.

[0025] The transfer mechanism includes a second mounting fixture 19 and a first cylinder 20. The second mounting fixture 19 is integrally formed and fixedly mounted on the first cylinder 20. The second mounting fixture 19 is provided with several first sensors 21 for detecting whether the product component 300 exists. When the product component 300 exists, the second mounting fixture 19 will move to the right under the drive of the first cylinder 20, so that the transfer mechanism 30 can grab the product component 300 to the heat shrink mechanism.

[0026] The heat shrinking mechanism includes a third mounting fixture 22 and a second cylinder 23 fixedly mounted to the third mounting fixture 22, an upper shell mechanism 24, and a lower shell mechanism 26. The third mounting fixture 22 is used to place the product assembly 300. A second sensor 27 for detecting the product assembly 300 is also provided above the third mounting fixture 22. When the product assembly 300 is detected, the third mounting fixture 22 moves to the middle between the upper shell mechanism 24 and the lower shell mechanism 26 under the drive of the second cylinder 23. Both the upper shell mechanism 24 and the lower shell mechanism 26 are provided with heating components (not shown in the figure). The upper shell mechanism 24 and the lower shell mechanism 26 are completely wrapped with the heating components to prevent overheating during the heating process of the sheath 100, which could affect other components of the device. After the sheath 100 is heat-shrinked, the second cylinder 23 drives the third mounting fixture 22 to move the heat-shrinked product component 300 out of the heating component 25 and back to its original position. Then, the required cooling time is set according to the actual situation to prevent the sheath 100 from overheating and causing damage to the transfer mechanism 30 that grips the product component 300.

[0027] The feeding mechanism includes a conveyor belt 28 and a power source 29 that drives the conveyor belt 28 to move. The transfer mechanism 30 picks up the heat-shrinked product component 300 and places it on the conveyor belt 28. The power source 29 rotates, thereby moving the conveyor belt 28 forward and driving the product component 300 to move to the end. The finished product component 300 is then manually removed.

[0028] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
