Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lifting and hoisting technology, and relates to a wire rope insertion device. Background Technology
[0002] Wire rope slings are typically used during lifting and hoisting operations. Generally, when the lifting tonnage is large, pre-made wire rope slings are purchased. However, when the lifting tonnage is small, the wire rope slings are manually installed on-site by the crane operator.
[0003] Due to limited on-site conditions, when manually inserting wire ropes, crane operators have to squat on the ground and use simple inserting tools. During the insertion process, the end of the wire rope needs to be broken, and a rope inserting tool needs to be used for folding and braiding. Different insertion methods require 18-30 insertions, which makes the crane operator's workload large and the efficiency low. Under normal circumstances, a more skilled crane operator needs 30-50 minutes to insert the ends of the wire rope with a diameter of φ25 or less.
[0004] The existing method of inserting wire ropes is as follows: When using a rope inserter, the crane operator must hold the handle with one hand and the wire rope firmly with the other, aligning it with the strands of the wire rope to be inserted. Then, using the handle, the rope inserter is rotated 90 degrees, and one end of the rope is threaded through. Finally, the handle is rotated 90 degrees and the rope inserter is pulled out. In the above process, because the rod must be held vertically and stably when holding it, to prevent the rod from piercing the hand, one foot must be firmly planted on the wire rope while the other foot stands on the outside of the wire rope to insert it. Therefore, it can be seen that the above manual method of inserting wire ropes is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that when the lifting tonnage is relatively small, the steel wire rope slings used are manually inserted on-site by the crane operator, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A wire rope insertion device includes a base, which is horizontally arranged and has a liftable column on its top. The side of the column is provided with a wire rope tray and a rope insertion handle from bottom to top.
[0008] The wire rope tray is horizontally arranged, with a strip-shaped groove in the middle and a connecting protrusion at the end. The top of the wire rope tray is provided with symmetrically arranged wire rope fixing clips, which are located on both sides of the strip-shaped groove.
[0009] The end of the rope insertion rod handle is provided with a rope insertion rod handle, and the middle is provided with a slider positioning sleeve and a sliding sleeve. The bottom of the sliding sleeve is provided with a rope insertion rod, and the two are hinged together. The other end of the rope insertion rod extends downward and passes through a strip-shaped groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the wire rope tray is connected to the column through a first sleeve, and the end of the wire rope tray is provided with a first connecting plate, which is fixedly connected to the first sleeve. The first sleeve is connected to the column by bolts.
[0011] Furthermore, the rope insertion handle is connected to the column via a second sleeve, which is bolted to the column. A second connecting plate is provided on the side of the second sleeve, which is movably connected to the rope insertion handle.
[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the slider positioning sleeve and the column is greater than the distance between the slider sleeve and the column.
[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the rope insertion handle is provided with several protrusions.
[0014] Furthermore, the wire rope fixing clamp is U-shaped, with both ends extending outward and connected to the wire rope tray by bolts.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention not only improves the efficiency of manual wire rope insertion, but also reduces the labor intensity of crane operators and enhances the safety of the wire rope insertion process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a wire rope insertion device includes a base 1, which is horizontally positioned. A liftable column 2 is provided on the top of the base 1. A wire rope tray 3 and a rope insertion handle 4 are provided on the side of the column 2 from bottom to top.
[0025] The wire rope tray 3 is horizontally positioned, with a strip-shaped groove 3a in the middle. The top of the wire rope tray 3 is provided with symmetrically arranged wire rope fixing clips 11, which are located on both sides of the strip-shaped groove 3a. The wire rope fixing clips 11 are U-shaped, with both ends extending outward and connected to the wire rope tray 3 by bolts.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the wire rope tray 3 is connected to the column 2 through the first sleeve 9. The end of the wire rope tray 3 is provided with a first connecting plate 3b, which is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 9. The first sleeve 9 is connected to the column 2 by bolts.
[0027] The rope insertion handle 4 has a rope insertion handle 6 at one end and a slider positioning sleeve 5 and a sliding sleeve 7 passing through the middle. The distance between the slider positioning sleeve 5 and the column 2 is greater than the distance between the sliding sleeve 7 and the column 2. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the rope insertion handle 6 has several protrusions to increase the friction of the handle surface.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the sliding sleeve 7 is provided with a rope insertion rod 8, and the two are hinged together. The other end of the rope insertion rod 8 extends downward and passes through the strip-shaped groove 3a; as shown Figure 5 As shown, the rope insertion handle 4 is connected to the column 2 through the second sleeve 10. The second sleeve 10 is connected to the column 2 by bolts. The second sleeve 10 has a second connecting plate 10a on its side, which is movably connected to the rope insertion handle 4.
[0029] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] First, fix the base 1 of the simple wire rope insertion device by welding or fixing it to the workbench. Adjust the height of the wire rope tray 3 on the column 2 of the insertion device according to the height of the insertion personnel. Fix the wire rope tray 3 on the column 2 with fixing screws to ensure the comfort of the insertion personnel during operation.
[0031] Next, according to the diameter of the wire rope, place the wire rope on the wire rope tray 3, and use the wire rope fixing clamp 11 to fix the wire rope on the wire rope tray 3. Use the rope insertion handle 4 to move up and down, and the sliding sleeve 7 drives the wire rope insertion rod 8 to move downward to break the end of the wire rope. Breaking the end refers to disassembling the end of the wire rope. After breaking the end, select an appropriate length and fix the wire rope to be broken to the base 1. According to the wire rope braiding process and different braiding methods, braid the wire rope.
[0032] This invention can significantly improve the efficiency of crane operators in inserting wire ropes. Field tests have shown that when workers use this device to insert the ends of wire ropes with a diameter of φ25 or less, it only takes 15-30 minutes to complete the process.
