Wire rope typically consists of an inner core and an outer braided layer, with a compact structure and high strength, capable of withstanding high tensile forces and weights. Wire rope is an indispensable tool in the industrial field. Its manufacturing process is complex, requiring advanced technology and strict quality control to ensure that the final product's quality and performance meet design requirements. During production, the tension of the steel wires needs to be adjusted.
[0003] The diameters of the strands in existing wire ropes vary, and the twisting tension of strands with different diameters also varies. During wire rope production, it is necessary to manually measure the wire diameter and adjust the wire tension setting, which increases the production and debugging time and affects the production efficiency of wire ropes. To address this, we propose a wire rope strand tension adjustment device. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1.

This solves the problem that existing wire ropes have inconsistent strand wire diameters and different twisting tensions for strand wires of different diameters.

[0027] The working principle of the wire rope tension adjustment device based on Embodiment 1 is as follows: After the device is installed, the wire rope 5 is driven by the transmission wheel 12, and the moving rod 13 is compressed by the spring 20, thereby pressing the measuring wheel 26 against the outer surface of the positioning wheel 6.

At the same time, the wire rope 5 compresses the tension wheel 7, thereby compressing the tension rod 9. The pressure sensor 18 measures the pressure and transmits the pressure data to the controller 21. The controller 21 can analyze the data and adjust the tension of the wire rope 5 by adjusting the adjusting wheel 10. Thus, the working process of the device is completed.
