Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the guide wheel structure field, especially a guide wheel structure of steel wire rope braider. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steel wire rope braider is a special mechanical equipment for manufacturing steel wire rope, and its core function is to precisely interweave multiple high-strength steel wires into a steel wire rope with a spiral structure according to a preset twisting direction (such as forward twisting or reverse twisting) and twisting pitch through a specific mechanical braiding process. The equipment is usually composed of a driving system, a braiding wheel set, a tension control device, a wire guide, and a take-up device, etc., and can accurately control the tension, arrangement angle, and braiding density of the steel wires to ensure that the finished steel wire rope has uniform mechanical properties, high-strength load-bearing capacity, and fatigue resistance. The steel wire rope braider is widely used in the fields of mining, ports, construction, ships, elevators, aerospace, etc., for producing key components such as hoisting ropes, traction ropes, and cables, and has high automation and fast production efficiency, which is an important production tool for ensuring the safe operation of heavy equipment in modern industry.

[0003] In the prior art, the steel wire rope braider has some problems in actual production and application. On the one hand, since the steel wire rope has multiple different diameter specifications, the height of the guide wheel of the current steel wire rope braider is often fixed and cannot be quickly adjusted. This leads to the difficulty in achieving an ideal contact state between the steel wire rope and the guide wheel when producing steel wire ropes of different diameters, which easily causes slipping, uneven wear, and other problems, thereby affecting the braiding quality and production efficiency of the steel wire rope. On the other hand, during long-term use, continuous friction occurs between the guide wheel and the steel wire rope, which gradually wears the surface of the guide wheel. When the wear reaches a certain degree, the shape of the wheel groove of the guide wheel changes, such as becoming wider or shallower. This change seriously affects the matching precision between the steel wire rope and the guide wheel, causing the steel wire rope to slip, jump, and other unstable phenomena during operation, further reducing the braiding quality of the steel wire rope. In addition, the current guide wheel installation operation is relatively complex, which makes it impossible to quickly operate when the guide wheel is damaged and needs to be replaced, greatly reducing the work efficiency and increasing the time and labor costs of production.

The threaded knob 25 is screwed together with the second screw hole 21, and the left end of the threaded knob 25 is fixedly installed with a rotating block 26 and movably installed in the convex groove 24. Rotating the threaded knob 25 pushes the movable seat 22 through the rotating block 26, so that the positioning strip 14 on the other side of the guide wheel body 3 is inserted into the bearing 17. The guide wheel body 3 can be limited and installed, and it is convenient to disassemble the guide wheel body 3 later.

[0029] The specific use principle of the installation adjusting mechanism 4 cooperating with the upper guide wheel body 3 is as follows:

[0030] The mounting seat 2 installed on the bottom surface of the concave support frame 1 is used to pre-mount and fix the whole device on the mounting base of the corresponding position of the steel wire braiding machine. Then, the rotating shaft 13 on the left side of the guide wheel body 3 is inserted into the bearing 17 installed in the mounting hole 16 on the side wall of the fixed seat 15, and the positioning strip 14 installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13 is inserted into the positioning groove 18 on the inner ring wall of the bearing 17. Then, the guide wheel body 3 is rotated, so that the positioning strip 14 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13 on the right side of the guide wheel body 3 corresponds to the positioning groove 18 on the inner ring wall of the bearing 17 installed in the mounting hole 16 on the side wall of the movable seat 22. Then, the threaded knob 25 is rotated, so that the threaded knob 25 is screwed and linearly moved in the second screw hole 21 on the side wall of the fixed block 20. The threaded knob 25 drives the rotating block 26 on the left end to rotate in the convex groove 24 below the outer side wall of the movable seat 22. After continuously rotating the threaded knob 25, the movable seat 22 is pushed to the left by the rotating block 26. The T-shaped sliding block 23 installed on the bottom surface of the movable seat 22 slides in the T-shaped sliding groove 19 on the top surface of the support frame 10. Until the rotating shaft 13 on the right side of the guide wheel body 3 is inserted into the bearing 17 in the movable seat 22, and the positioning strip 14 is inserted into the positioning groove 18. Therefore, the quick installation of the guide wheel body 3 is completed, and the guide wheel body 3 can be rotated by the rotating shafts 13 on both sides under the limitation of the positioning strip 14, so as to effectively guide the steel wire. After the installation of the guide wheel body 3 is completed, and the height of the guide wheel body 3 needs to be adjusted according to the diameter specifications of different steel wires, the adjusting knob 9 is rotated to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate in the rotating hole 5 on the bottom surface of the concave support frame 1. The rotating rod 8 drives the screw rod 7 to rotate, so that the support frame 10 moves upward along the screw rod 7 in the concave support frame 1 through the first screw hole 11 on the bottom surface, and the guide block 12 installed on the side walls of the support frame 10 slides in the vertical sliding hole 6 on the side walls of the concave support frame 1. When the support frame 10 moves, the height of the guide wheel body 3 is adjusted. Until the guide wheel body 3 is adjusted to the appropriate height position, the guide wheel 3 can reach the ideal contact state with the steel wire of different diameters, avoiding the problems of non-ideal contact, slipping and uneven wear of the steel wire and the guide wheel 3 caused by the fixed height of the guide wheel 3, improving the braiding quality and production efficiency of the steel wire. When the guide wheel body 3 needs to be replaced and disassembled due to wear or damage after long-term use, the threaded knob 25 is reversely rotated to drive the movable seat 22 to move to the right through the rotating block 26, so that the rotating shaft 13 on the right side of the guide wheel body 3 moves out of the bearing 17, and the threaded knob 25 cannot be rotated. Then, the guide wheel body 3 is moved to the right, so that the rotating shaft 13 on the left side moves out of the corresponding bearing 17. The disassembly and replacement of the guide wheel body 3 are completed, thereby improving the work efficiency and reducing the downtime of the equipment caused by the replacement of the guide wheel 3.The time cost and the manpower cost of production are reduced.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
