Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rope braiding machine technology, and specifically relates to a steel wire rope braiding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Wire rope braiding machines (wire rope braiding machines) typically use a dial fork to move a trolley along a specific track, and then use braiding traction wheels to braid the steel wire into shape. Patent CN212452057U discloses a trolley for a braiding machine. In this patent, the trolley moves along a track via multiple traveling wheels. During the braiding process, the bearings on the traveling wheels generate significant noise under stress, negatively impacting production and worker comfort. Furthermore, the traveling wheels have a limited speed, affecting braiding efficiency. Therefore, a wire rope braiding machine is needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a wire rope braiding machine, including a base and multiple walking frames that cooperate with the base. The base includes a base and a support plate. The support plate is fixed above the base by a fixing rod. The support plate is provided with multiple ∞-shaped through grooves connected end to end. A slide rail is provided on the support plate corresponding to one side of the through groove.

[0004] The bottom of the walking frame is connected to a movable disk, the lower surface of which slides in conjunction with a slide rail. A vertical column is connected to the center of the lower surface of the movable disk, and the lower end of the vertical column extends through a through groove into the space between the base and the support plate and is fitted with a toggle mechanism.

[0005] It should be noted that the walking frame adopts the walking frame of a trolley for a rope braiding machine as disclosed in the authorized patent CN212452057U. By replacing the walking wheels connected to the walking frame in the authorized patent CN212452057U with a moving disc, the rolling friction between the walking wheels and the track is changed to the sliding friction between the moving disc and the slide rail. The removal of the walking wheels reduces noise and improves the stability of the walking frame's movement. At the same time, it removes the speed limitation, which can help increase the movement rate of the walking frame, thereby improving the rope braiding efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, the actuating mechanism includes multiple dials, and each of the two centers of the ∞-shaped through slot is fixed with a column. The upper and lower ends of the column are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding support plate and base. A rotating sleeve is fitted on the column, and the lower end of the rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the base through a bearing. Each dial is fixed on the corresponding rotating sleeve and cooperates with the vertical column. The rotating sleeve is connected to a drive assembly.

[0007] It should be noted that the drive component drives each rotating sleeve to rotate, and the dial on the rotating sleeve rotates accordingly. During the rotation, the dial cooperates with the vertical column, pushing the vertical column to move continuously along the through groove, thereby driving the traveling frame to move.

[0008] Preferably, a support plate is also provided on the vertical column located between the base and the support plate, and when the dial is engaged with the vertical column, the lower surface of the support plate contacts the upper surface of the dial.

[0009] It should be noted that the support plate further improves the stability of the traveling frame. When the dial and the vertical column work together, the support plate supports the traveling frame, further reducing the friction between the moving plate and the slide rail, and improving the efficiency of movement.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a geared motor and a plurality of gears, each gear being fixed on a corresponding rotating sleeve, two adjacent gears meshing with each other, and one of the gears meshing with a gear, the gear being connected to the geared motor.

[0011] It should be noted that the gear motor drives the gear 2 to rotate, and the gear 2 drives the gear 1 that meshes with it to rotate. The meshing of each gear 1 causes each rotating sleeve to rotate, which in turn drives each dial to rotate, thus actuating the vertical column.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a pitch adjustment device, which includes a frame, on which a rotating roller and a transition roller are provided, and one end of the rotating roller is connected to a reduction motor II via a sprocket and chain that cooperate with each other.

[0013] It should be noted that by setting a pitch adjustment device, the effect and quality of rope braiding can be improved. Specifically, after the braided wire rope passes through a fixed pulley, it is wound onto a rotating roller. The rotation speed of the rotating roller is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the second reduction motor, thereby controlling the pulling speed of the braided wire rope and adjusting the pitch of the wire rope braiding. After the wire rope is wound on the rotating roller, it is wound by the take-up roller after passing through the transition roller. The take-up roller is connected to a take-up motor. By controlling the ratio of the rotation speed of the take-up motor and the second reduction motor, efficient take-up and pitch adjustment operations are achieved. The transition roller plays a transition role for the braided wire rope, which is beneficial for the speed adjustment of the second reduction motor and the take-up motor.

[0014] Working Principle: By replacing the traveling wheels connected to the traveling frame in the authorized patent with publication number CN212452057U with a moving disc, and adding a support plate that cooperates with the moving disc, and setting a slide rail on the support plate, the rolling friction between the original traveling wheels and the track is changed to sliding friction between the moving disc and the slide rail. The removal of the traveling wheels reduces noise while improving the stability of the traveling frame's movement, and also helps to increase the speed of the traveling frame's movement, thereby improving rope braiding efficiency. Furthermore, placing the dial between the support plate and the base prevents interference with the traveling frame, making the device more aesthetically pleasing, reducing malfunctions, improving rope braiding efficiency, and benefiting production.

[0015] This utility model also includes other components that enable a wire rope braiding machine to function normally, such as the rope reel frame, "U"-shaped fork frame, wire rope reel, tension wheel frame, etc. on the walking frame, all of which adopt the mechanism in the authorized patent with publication number CN212452057U, which are conventional technical means in this field. In addition, the devices or components not limited in this utility model, such as gear motor one, gear two, gear one, dial, etc., all adopt conventional technical means and conventional equipment in this field.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the noise generated when the walking frame moves is small, which helps to optimize the production environment; the increased speed of the walking frame movement helps to improve the efficiency of rope braiding; the disc of the device is not exposed, which reduces the occurrence of failures and is beneficial to production.

[0025] The present invention will now be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This description is merely for explaining the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort to obtain all other embodiments should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a wire rope braiding machine, including a base and multiple walking frames 3 that cooperate with the base. The base includes a base 1 and a bearing plate 2. The bearing plate 2 is fixed above the base 1 by a fixing rod 15. The bearing plate 2 is provided with multiple ∞-shaped through grooves 14 connected end to end. A slide rail 13 is provided on the bearing plate corresponding to one side of the through groove 14. The slide rail is made of high carbon steel with heat treatment.

[0028] The bottom of the walking frame 3 is connected to a movable disk 4. The lower surface of the movable disk 4 is provided with a high-speed steel slider that slides in cooperation with the slide rail 13. A vertical column 9 is connected to the center of the lower surface of the movable disk 4. The lower end of the vertical column 9 passes through the through groove 14 and extends into the space between the base 1 and the bearing plate 2, and is equipped with a toggle mechanism. The walking frame 3 adopts the walking frame 3 of a rope braiding machine from the authorized patent CN212452057U. By replacing the walking wheels connected to the walking frame 3 in the authorized patent CN212452057U with the movable disk 4, the rolling friction between the walking wheels and the track is changed to the sliding friction between the movable disk 4 and the slide rail 13. The removal of the walking wheels reduces noise and improves the stability of the walking frame 3. It also helps to increase the speed of the walking frame 3, thereby improving the rope braiding efficiency.

[0029] The actuating mechanism includes multiple dials 5. Each ∞-shaped through-slot 14 has a column 11 fixed at its two centers. The upper and lower ends of each column 11 are fixedly connected to the corresponding support plate 2 and base 1, respectively. A rotating sleeve 7 is fitted onto each column 11, and the lower end of the rotating sleeve 7 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a bearing. Each dial 5 is fixed to its corresponding rotating sleeve 7 and engages with a vertical column 9. A drive assembly is connected to each rotating sleeve 7. The drive assembly drives each rotating sleeve 7 to rotate, causing the dials 5 on the rotating sleeve 7 to rotate accordingly. During rotation, the dials 5 engage with the vertical columns 9, pushing the vertical columns 9 to move continuously along the through-slot 14, thereby moving the traveling frame 3.

[0030] A support plate 10 is also provided on the vertical column 9 located between the base 1 and the support plate 2. When the dial is engaged with the vertical column 9, the lower surface of the support plate 10 contacts the upper surface of the dial. The moving trajectory 12 of the vertical column 9 is consistent with the through groove 14 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown by the dashed line). The support plate 10 further improves the stability of the traveling frame 3. When the dial 5 cooperates with the vertical column 9, the support plate 10 supports the traveling frame 3, further reducing the friction between the moving plate 4 and the slide rail 13 and improving the efficiency of movement.

[0031] The drive assembly includes a geared motor and multiple gears 6. The geared motor is housed within the base, and each gear 6 is fixed to a corresponding rotating sleeve 7. Adjacent gears 6 mesh with each other, and one of the gears 6 also meshes with a gear 8. The gear 8 is connected to the geared motor. The geared motor drives the gear 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing gear 6 to rotate. The meshing of all gears 6 causes the rotating sleeves 7 to rotate, thereby rotating the dials 5 and actuating the vertical column 9.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a wire rope braiding machine, including a base and multiple walking frames 3 that cooperate with the base. The base includes a base 1 and a bearing plate 2. The bearing plate 2 is fixed above the base 1 by a fixing rod 15. The bearing plate 2 is provided with multiple ∞-shaped through grooves 14 connected end to end. A slide rail 13 is provided on the bearing plate corresponding to one side of the through groove 14. The slide rail is made of high carbon steel with heat treatment.

[0034] The bottom of the walking frame 3 is connected to a movable disk 4. The lower surface of the movable disk 4 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 13. A high-speed steel slider is fixed on the contact surface between the lower surface of the movable disk 4 and the slide rail 13. A vertical column 9 is connected to the center of the lower surface of the movable disk 4. The lower end of the vertical column 9 passes through the through groove 14 and extends into the space between the base 1 and the bearing plate 2, and is engaged with a toggle mechanism.

[0035] The traveling frame 3 is the same as the traveling frame 3 in the trolley of a rope braiding machine as disclosed in the authorized patent CN212452057U. By replacing the traveling wheels connected to the traveling frame 3 in the authorized patent CN212452057U with the moving disc 4, the rolling friction between the traveling wheels and the track is changed to the sliding friction between the moving disc 4 and the slide rail 13. The removal of the traveling wheels reduces noise and improves the stability of the traveling frame 3. It also helps to increase the speed of the traveling frame 3, thereby improving the rope braiding efficiency.

[0036] The actuating mechanism adopts the shift fork part and gear transmission part of a variable track anti-torsion steel wire rope braiding machine as described in the patent with authorization announcement number CN111893786B.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that it also includes a pitch adjustment device. The pitch adjustment device includes a frame, on which a rotating roller 18 and a transition roller 19 are provided. One end of the rotating roller is connected to a reduction motor 17 through a sprocket chain 20 that cooperates with each other.

[0039] By setting a pitch adjustment device, the effect and quality of rope braiding can be improved. Specifically, the braided wire rope is wound onto the rotating roller after passing through the fixed pulley 16. The rotation speed of the rotating roller is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the reduction motor 2, thereby controlling the pulling speed of the braided wire rope 21, so as to adjust the pitch of the wire rope braiding. After being wound by the rotating roller, the wire rope is wound by the take-up roller after passing through the transition roller. The take-up roller is connected to the take-up motor. By controlling the ratio of the rotation speed of the take-up motor and the reduction motor 2, efficient take-up and pitch adjustment operations are achieved. The setting of the transition roller plays a transition role for the braided wire rope, which is beneficial to the speed adjustment of the reduction motor 2 and the take-up motor.

[0040] The embodiments of this utility model have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
