Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gravity energy storage technology, and in particular to a steel wire rope filter device for energy storage. Background Technology

[0002] Gravity energy storage is a new technology that converts electrical energy during off-peak hours into mechanical potential energy for storage, and releases it as electrical energy during peak hours. Gravity energy storage technology can effectively distribute electricity during different periods of electricity consumption, ensuring stable power supply. Gravity energy storage devices generally consist of a weight, an energy storage well, a pulley system, and a steel wire rope. The steel wire rope pulls the pulley system, which drives the weight in the energy storage well to rise and fall, thereby realizing the storage and release of mechanical potential energy.

[0003] Since steel wire ropes are exposed to the outside environment most of the time, dust and other dirt easily accumulate on their surface, increasing the friction of the pulley system. Traditional filtration devices are mostly paired with and installed at the winch. The steel wire rope wound up by the winch can be filtered by the filtration device on it. However, because the end of the steel wire rope is pulling a heavy object, the steel wire rope at that end cannot be completely wound up from the energy storage well to the winch. Therefore, a section of the steel wire rope at the end cannot be filtered, resulting in more dirt on the steel wire rope at this point. This dirt easily contaminates the pulley system, increases friction, and affects energy storage efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a wire rope filtration device for energy storage to ensure filtration of the end wire rope. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing filtration devices cannot filter the end steel wire rope, and a steel wire rope filtration device for energy storage is provided.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A steel wire rope filter device for energy storage includes a housing and a support frame. The housing has through holes at both ends and a first descaling ring at each end. The first descaling ring is located inside the housing and is coaxial with the through holes. A sleeve coaxial with the through holes is rotatably connected inside the housing. The inner wall of the sleeve is provided with bristles. A transmission gear set is provided inside the housing. The transmission gear set is connected to a power device. The power device drives the sleeve to rotate through the transmission gear set.

[0008] A second descaling ring is fixedly connected inside the housing. The second descaling ring is located at both ends of the sleeve and is coaxial with the through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the sleeve includes two opposing sleeves.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission gear set includes a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. The driven bevel gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to two sub-cylinders respectively, and the driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gears on both sub-cylinders simultaneously.

[0011] Furthermore, the first descaling ring includes two opposing semicircular rings, each containing descaling cotton. A cylinder is installed on each of the two semicircular rings, and the cylinders drive the two semicircular rings to move closer or further apart.

[0012] Furthermore, descaling cotton is fixedly connected inside the second descaling ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the second descaling ring is circular.

[0014] Furthermore, the power unit is an electric motor, which is fixedly connected to the housing. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the drive bevel gear. The motor drives the two sub-cylinders to rotate, and the two sub-cylinders rotate in opposite directions.

[0015] Furthermore, a cover plate is threadedly connected to the through hole, and a rope hole coaxial with the through hole is opened on the cover plate. A handle is fixedly connected to the cover plate.

[0016] This utility model discloses a wire rope filtration device for energy storage. A support frame supports the housing, facilitating its fixing to the ground. The device is placed at the end of the wire rope. During winding and unwinding, the through-hole allows the wire rope to pass through. The wire rope first passes through a first descaling ring, which scrapes the rope surface to remove larger particles of dirt. Then, the wire rope passes through a second descaling ring, which again scrapes the rope surface for secondary cleaning, preventing the sleeve from becoming clogged with dirt when passing through it. The sleeve can rotate, and the bristles inside rub against the surface of the wire rope under high-speed rotation, thereby brushing off some of the more firmly adhered dirt. When the wire rope passes the second descaling ring on the other side of the sleeve and the first descaling ring on the other end of the shell, the dirt on the rope surface can be scraped off by the second descaling ring and the first descaling ring, ensuring the cleanliness of the wire rope surface and completing the filtration of the wire rope. Compared with traditional technology, this technical solution is placed at the end of the wire rope, realizing the cleaning and filtration of the wire rope, reducing the friction of the wire rope, and improving the energy storage efficiency.

[0023] To make the technical means, technical features, utility model purpose and technical effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a steel wire rope filter device for energy storage, including a housing 1 and a support frame 2. The housing 1 and the support frame 2 are fixedly connected by screws. The housing 1 has through holes 3 at both ends and a first descaling ring 4 at both ends. The first descaling ring 4 is located inside the housing 1 and is coaxial with the through holes 3. A sleeve 5 coaxial with the through holes 3 is rotatably connected to a bearing inside the housing 1. Brush bristles 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 5 by screws. A transmission gear set is provided inside the housing 1. The transmission gear set is connected to a power device 7. The power device 7 drives the sleeve 5 to rotate through the transmission gear set. A second descaling ring 8 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by screws. The second descaling ring 8 is located at both ends of the sleeve 5 and coincides with the axis of the through holes 3.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the first descaling ring 4 on the left is in a closed state with two semicircular rings 13, while the first descaling ring 4 on the right is in an open state with two semicircular rings 13. The first descaling ring 4 includes two opposing semicircular rings 13, each with descaling cotton 11 screwed into it. A cylinder 12 is installed on each of the two semicircular rings 13, and the output shaft of the cylinder 12 is screwed to the semicircular ring 13. The cylinder 12 drives the two semicircular rings 13 to move closer or further apart. The cylinder 12 is screwed to the housing 1. The first descaling rings 4 at both ends of the housing 1 work alternately according to the direction of the steel wire rope's movement. When the steel wire rope enters through the through hole 3 at the left end of the housing 1 and exits through the through hole 3 at the right end, the two semicircular rings 13 at the left end move closer together to form the first descaling ring 4, thus filtering the steel wire rope. The two semicircular rings 13 on the right end are far apart and do not contact the wire rope. When the wire rope enters through the through hole 3 on the right end of the housing 1 and exits through the through hole 3 on the left end, the two semicircular rings 13 on the right end come closer to each other to form the first descaling ring 4, which filters the wire rope. The two semicircular rings 13 on the left end are far apart and do not contact the wire rope. Due to repeated use, a lot of dirt will accumulate on the descaling cotton 11 on the first descaling rings 4 at both ends. Since the wire rope at the outlet end has already been scraped and cleaned by the first descaling ring 4, the second descaling ring 8, and the sleeve 5, if the first descaling rings 4 at both ends scrape and filter the wire rope at the same time, the wire rope at the outlet end will be contaminated by the first descaling ring 4 at that point, affecting the filtration effect. Alternating operation can effectively avoid the problem of the wire rope being contaminated by the first descaling ring 4.

[0027] Preferably, the sleeve 5 includes two opposing sub-sleeves. Preferably, the transmission gear set includes a driving bevel gear 9 and a driven bevel gear 10. The driving bevel gear 9 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a bearing. The driven bevel gear 10 is fixedly connected to the two sub-sleeves coaxially with screws. The driving bevel gear 9 simultaneously meshes with the driven bevel gears 10 on the two sub-sleeves for transmission. Preferably, the power unit 7 is a motor. The motor is fixedly connected to the housing 1 with screws. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the driving bevel gear 9 with screws. The motor drives the two sub-sleeves to rotate. The two sub-sleeves rotate in opposite directions. The opposite rotation direction can improve the filtering and cleaning ability of the two sub-sleeves on the surface of the wire rope.

[0028] Preferably, the second descaling ring 8 is fixedly connected to a descaling cotton 11 by screws. The descaling cotton 11 can be made of sponge material or cotton cloth material. Preferably, the second descaling ring 8 is circular.

[0029] Preferred, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a cover plate 14 is threadedly connected to the through hole 3. The cover plate 14 has a rope hole 15 coaxial with the through hole 3. The cover plate 14 is connected to the through hole 3 by threads and can be easily disassembled. After the cover plate 14 is disassembled, the descaling cotton 11 can be easily replaced. When the cover plate 14 is installed in the through hole 3, it can seal the through hole 3 and play a role in preventing dust. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 14 by screws. The handle 16 makes it easy to rotate the cover plate 14.

[0030] When using, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 2 supports the housing 1, facilitating its fixing to the ground. The device is placed at the end of the wire rope. During winding and unwinding, the through hole 3 allows the wire rope to pass through. The wire rope first passes through the first descaling ring 4, which scrapes the surface of the wire rope, removing large pieces of dirt. Then, the wire rope passes through the second descaling ring 8, which again scrapes the surface, performing a secondary cleaning and preventing the sleeve 5 from becoming clogged with dirt when it passes through. The sleeve 5 can rotate... The brush bristles 6 inside rotate at high speed, rubbing against the surface of the wire rope to brush off some of the more firmly adhered dirt. When the wire rope passes the second descaling ring 8 on the other side of the sleeve 5 and the first descaling ring 4 at the other end of the housing 1, the dirt on the rope surface can be scraped off by the second descaling ring 8 and the first descaling ring 4, ensuring the cleanliness of the wire rope surface and completing the filtration of the wire rope. Compared with traditional technology, this technical solution is placed at the end of the wire rope, realizing the cleaning and filtration of the wire rope, reducing the friction of the wire rope, and improving the energy storage efficiency.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the claims of this utility model should fall within the technical scope of this utility model.
