Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire sealing technology, and in particular to wire sealing with fracture sensing capability. Background Technology
[0002] Wire seals are mechanical anti-theft sealing devices widely used in containers, power equipment, and transport vehicles. They mainly consist of a wire rope and a lock body. Their core function is to form a closed loop through physical locking, preventing unauthorized opening and leaving visible traces when damaged. Traditional wire seals play a vital role in asset security in industries such as logistics and energy due to their simple structure and low cost. Wire seals typically rely on physical sealing, and their breakage cannot be detected or controlled; therefore, breakage detection capabilities are necessary.
[0003] In existing technologies, conventional wire rope seals lack the ability to monitor the breakage state of wire ropes in real time. When the wire rope is cut intentionally or breaks due to natural aging, it cannot actively issue an alarm signal, requiring manual inspection to detect the anomaly. This passive protection mode has a significant time lag, which may lead to delayed response to security incidents, especially in unattended scenarios, posing a threat to asset security. The active breakage sensing capability of wire rope seals is relatively insufficient, and they cannot promptly issue alarms and save information after wire rope breakage, reducing the sealing and protection capability of the wire rope seal. Therefore, we propose a wire rope seal with breakage sensing capability to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the problems raised, this utility model provides a wire seal with fracture sensing capability to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A wire seal with fracture sensing capability includes a wire seal body, and a wire rope is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the wire seal body;
[0007] The front of the steel wire seal body is provided with a circuit breaker sensor and a signal transmitter. The two ends of the circuit breaker sensor are respectively provided with a first magnetic ring and a second magnetic ring. The two output ends of the circuit breaker sensor are respectively provided with a break sensing rope connected to the first magnetic ring and the second magnetic ring. The ends of the two break sensing ropes are respectively provided with rope fixing clips that clamp the two ends of the steel wire rope.
[0008] The steel wire seal body has a power supply component on its side.
[0009] Preferably, the circuit breaker sensor and the signal transmitter are both fixedly mounted on the wire seal body. The power supply component includes a mounting bracket, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the wire seal body. A miniature battery for powering the circuit breaker sensor and the signal transmitter is provided on the side of the wire seal body, and the miniature battery is installed inside the mounting bracket.
[0010] Preferably, the circuit breaker is an MCU chip or an electromotive force sensor, and the signal transmitter is an RFID electronic seal or an NFC chip.
[0011] Preferably, the installation wire rope, circuit breaker sensor, first magnetic ring, second magnetic ring, breakage sensing rope, and rope fixing clamp are connected in a phase circuit, and the two rope fixing clamps are respectively clamped and fixed at both ends of the installation wire rope.
[0012] Preferably, an insulating sleeve is installed at one end of the circuit breaker sensor, the installation wire rope is fixedly installed at the fixed end of the wire seal body by the insulating sleeve, and the rope fixing clamp is clamped on the surface of the installation wire rope.
[0013] Preferably, the rope fixing clamp includes an elastic clamping seat and an anti-disengagement inner buckle. The anti-disengagement inner buckle is installed on the inner side of the elastic clamping seat, and the two elastic clamping seats are correspondingly installed on both ends of the wire rope. The anti-disengagement inner buckle is pressed and fixed to the surface of the wire rope.
[0014] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a locking cover for fixing the micro battery on the side away from the main body of the wire seal, and the locking cover is U-shaped and locked onto the mounting bracket.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This wire rope seal with fracture sensing capability, equipped with a circuit breaker sensor, allows the wire rope to be used to lock the object after the installation. The two signal transmission ends of the circuit breaker sensor, together with the rope fixing clamp, clamp both ends of the installation wire rope. The first and second magnetic rings generate electromotive forces accordingly. Together with the two fracture sensing ropes and the rope fixing clamp, they form a closed loop with the installation wire rope. The circuit breaker sensor can sense the electromotive force. When the installation wire rope breaks, the circuit breaker sensor can directly detect the disappearance of the electromotive force, thereby detecting the rope fracture. This gives the device the ability to sense rope fracture, resulting in good protection.
[0017] 2. This wire rope seal with fracture detection capability is equipped with a signal transmitter. After the circuit breaker sensor breaks, the signal transmitter can save the information and simultaneously exchange the information with the outside, thus achieving the function of transmitting rope fracture information. The power supply component provides self-power for the circuit breaker sensor and the signal transmitter, and the power supply component battery is removable for easy disassembly and use. This allows the device to promptly provide external alarms and save information after a breakage, resulting in excellent safety and functionality. Attached Figure Description

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.

The ends of the two break sensing ropes 6 are respectively provided with rope fixing clips 7 that are clamped to both ends of the wire rope 2.
[0028] Among them, the steel wire seal body 1 has a power supply component 9 on its side;
[0029] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When the wire rope 2 is used to lock the object using a circuit breaker sensor 3, the two signal transmission ends of the circuit breaker sensor 3, connected by break-sensing ropes 6 and rope clamps 7, clamp both ends of the wire rope 2. The first magnetic ring 4 and the second magnetic ring 5 generate corresponding electromotive forces. Together with the two break-sensing ropes 6 and the rope clamps 7, they form a closed-loop loop with the wire rope 2. The circuit breaker sensor 3 can sense the electromotive force. When the wire rope 2 breaks, the circuit breaker sensor 3 can directly detect the disappearance of the electromotive force, thus detecting the rope breakage. The signal transmitter 8 stores the information and simultaneously transmits it externally, achieving the function of transmitting rope breakage information. The power supply component 9 is self-powered, enabling the device to have rope breakage sensing capabilities, providing good protection. Furthermore, it can promptly issue external alarms and save information after a breakage, demonstrating excellent safety and functionality.
[0030] Preferably, the circuit breaker sensor 3 and the signal transmitter 8 are both fixedly installed on the wire seal body 1. The power supply component 9 includes a mounting bracket 91, which is fixedly installed on the side of the wire seal body 1. A miniature battery 92 for supplying power to the circuit breaker sensor 3 and the signal transmitter 8 is provided on the side of the wire seal body 1. The miniature battery 92 is installed inside the mounting bracket 91.
[0031] Specifically, the power supply component 9 includes a mounting bracket 91, which serves to install and fix the micro battery 92. The micro battery 92 can supply power to the circuit breaker sensor 3 and the signal transmitter 8, making it easy to install and supply power. The micro battery 92 is easy to replace and has excellent practicality.
[0032] Furthermore, the circuit breaker 3 is an MCU chip or an electromotive force sensor, and the signal transmitter 8 is an RFID electronic seal or an NFC chip.
[0033] Specifically, the circuit breaker 3 is an MCU chip or an electromotive force sensor, which functions as a circuit sensor or an electromotive force sensor. When the installation wire rope 2 breaks, it can be directly sensed and detected with high monitoring accuracy. The signal transmitter 8 is an RFID electronic seal or an NFC chip, which can store and read information and interact with external information respectively, making it highly practical.
[0034] Furthermore, the installation circuit circulates the steel wire rope 2, the circuit breaker 3, the first magnetic ring 4, the second magnetic ring 5, the breakage sensing rope 6, and the rope fixing clamp 7. The two rope fixing clamps 7 are respectively clamped and fixed at both ends of the steel wire rope 2.
[0035] Specifically, the installation of the wire rope 2, the circuit breaker 3, the first magnetic ring 4, the second magnetic ring 5, the breakage sensing rope 6, and the rope fixing clamp 7 forms a closed-circuit electromotive force, which facilitates breakage sensing and has excellent practicality. In addition, the two rope fixing clamps 7 are respectively clamped and fixed at both ends of the wire rope 2, making it convenient to install and remove.

[0037] Specifically, by setting up an insulating sleeve 10, the installation wire rope 2 and the wire sealing body 1 will not form a closed loop. Two rope fixing clamps 7 are clamped at both ends of the installation wire rope 2 to form a closed-loop electromotive force, which can be used for breakage induction operation and has excellent applicability.
[0038] Furthermore, the rope fixing clamp 7 includes an elastic clamping seat 71 and an anti-disengagement inner buckle 72. The anti-disengagement inner buckle 72 is installed on the inner side of the elastic clamping seat 71. The two elastic clamping seats 71 are installed on the two ends of the wire rope 2 respectively. The anti-disengagement inner buckle 72 is pressed and fixed to the surface of the wire rope 2.
[0039] Specifically, the rope fixing clamp 7 includes an elastic clamping seat 71 and an anti-detachment inner buckle 72. The elastic clamping seat 71 serves as a hanging and installation buckle, and the anti-detachment inner buckle 72 can perform auxiliary anti-detachment operations, making it difficult for the rope fixing clamp 7 to detach after the wire rope is attached, thus demonstrating excellent practicality.
[0040] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 91 is provided with a locking cover 93 for fixing the micro battery 92 on the side away from the wire seal body 1. The locking cover 93 is U-shaped and locked onto the mounting bracket 91.
[0041] Specifically, the locking cover 93 serves to install the locking mechanism, preventing the micro battery 92 from vibrating and falling off after installation, and ensuring its stable fixation.
[0042] How to use and how to work this device:
[0043] By installing a circuit breaker sensor 3 and a signal transmitter 8 on the main body 1 of the wire rope, after the wire rope 2 is used to lock the item, the two ends of the wire rope 2 can be clamped by the break sensing rope 6 at the two signal transmission ends of the circuit breaker sensor 3, together with the rope fixing clamp 7. The two output ends of the circuit breaker sensor 3 are respectively equipped with a first magnetic ring 4 and a second magnetic ring 5, and the two magnetic rings are respectively connected to the two break sensing ropes 6. The first magnetic ring 4 and the second magnetic ring 5 can generate electromotive force accordingly. Together with the two break sensing ropes 6 and the rope fixing clamp 7, they form a closed loop with the wire rope 2. The circuit breaker sensor 3 can perform electromotive force sensing. When the wire rope 2 breaks, the circuit breaker sensor 3 can directly detect the disappearance of the electromotive force, and thus detect the breakage of the rope.
[0044] After the circuit breaker sensor 3 breaks, the signal transmitter 8 can save the information and exchange the information with the outside, thus achieving the function of transmitting rope breakage information. The power supply component 9 provides self-power for the circuit breaker sensor 3 and the signal transmitter 8. The battery of the power supply component 9 is removable, which is convenient for disassembly and use. This gives the device the ability to sense rope breakage, provides good protection, and can promptly provide external alarms and save information after a breakage. It has excellent safety and functionality.
