Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator testing technology, specifically to an elevator wire rope slack detection alarm mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As a critical component of the elevator suspension system, the safety of the elevator wire rope directly affects the safety of elevator operation. Statistics show that approximately 15% of elevator accidents are related to wire rope malfunctions, making it essential to constantly monitor the tension of the wire rope.

[0003] The currently used elevator traction wire rope tension analyzer consists of a mechanical torsion device and a wire rope tension analyzer. The mechanical torsion device comprises a triangular torsion housing, a torsion handle, a tension sensor, and an electronic level detection device. A positioning pin is located at the top and bottom of the left vertical side of the triangular torsion housing, and the wire rope passes around the left and right sides of these positioning pins. An electronic level detection device consisting of a double mercury contact switch is located on the upper horizontal side. A torsion handle is connected to the middle of the left hypotenuse via a hinge. A tension sensor is vertically connected between the right corner of the triangular torsion housing and the torsion handle. The instrument collects the vibration period of each wire rope through a photoelectric detection device and stores each period in the memory of a single-chip microcomputer. Then, through the functional relationship between period, frequency, and tension, it calculates the percentage deviation of the tension of each wire rope from the average tension of all wire ropes. Finally, the result is displayed on the instrument's LED digital display.

[0004] However, current elevator wire rope inspections typically involve workers arriving on-site and periodically using an elevator traction wire rope tension analyzer to check for looseness or breakage. This method inevitably leads to delays in inspection, increasing the risk of accidents during elevator use and hindering safety improvements. Therefore, we propose a wire rope looseness detection and alarm mechanism for elevators. Utility Model Content

[0027] In this embodiment, the lower side of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a defect detection module 5, which is used for detecting the wire breakage of the steel wire rope 6. The defect detection module 5 comprises a base 51 fixed to the outer wall of one side of the mounting frame 1, and the outer wall of one side of the base 51 is provided with an induction coil 52 sleeved outside the steel wire rope 6. It should be noted that the magnetic flux leakage and magnetic flux detection are the most widely used technologies at present.

The detected data is transmitted to the controller 2 through the tension sensor 81, and then the controller 2 transmits the data back to the control terminal wirelessly.

[0029] In this embodiment, the side of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a tension detection mechanism 8 in transmission connection with the driving module 7, and the steel wire rope 6 is inserted in the space between the guide assembly 4 and the tension detection mechanism 8.
