Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope production technology, and in particular to a protective wire rope end-ring forming device. Background Technology
[0002] Steel wire rope is a flexible rope made of multiple strands of high-strength steel wires twisted together. It is widely used in hoisting, transportation, mining, construction, shipbuilding and other fields. The end looping of steel wire rope is a key process for connecting and fixing steel wire rope. The end looping of steel wire rope is a comprehensive guarantee of safety, strength and durability.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221589057U, which discloses an end-ringing device for steel wire rope production. Targeting the inherent elasticity of steel wire rope, the patent describes a method where the wire rope is inserted into a clamping block via a transverse insertion process. This process involves two steps to bend the wire rope, and the insertion of the wire rope through the clamping block requires considerable force and time, resulting in a long winding time. To address this, a pressing plate is inserted into a groove, with its top edge pressed against the inner wall of the groove. Because the top of the pressing plate is a gentle slope, it continuously presses and pushes against the inner wall of the groove, causing a directional sliding plate to slide within the U-shaped frame. This sliding plate moves the base plate upwards, lifting the wire rope to the bottom of the clamping plate. The bidirectional pressing between the clamping plate and the base plate quickly fixes the wire rope. This device can also clamp and fix wire ropes of the same specification, increasing the versatility of the equipment.
[0004] When forming a loop with the aforementioned wire rope, one end of the wire rope must first be placed inside the arc-shaped groove and manually fixed in place before the loop-forming operation can continue. However, the process of placing the wire rope inside the arc-shaped groove and manually clamping one end of the wire rope is cumbersome and delays the loop-forming time. If the wire rope falls out of the clamp during the pulling process, the loop-forming progress is easily interrupted. Furthermore, the existing technology usually relies on hand pinching to form a loop with one end of the wire rope, which is laborious and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a protective wire rope end loop forming device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a protective wire rope end loop forming device, including an operating table, wherein a loop forming component is provided on the upper surface of the operating table;
[0007] The ring-forming assembly includes an annular mold, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table. Two mounting brackets are fixedly connected to one side of the operating table. A variable speed motor is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of one of the mounting brackets. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the variable speed motor. An adjusting frame is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting rod. Limit grooves are opened on both sides of the adjusting frame. A shaft is rotatably connected inside the adjusting frame.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] One end of the shaft is fixedly connected to a screw, and the other end of the shaft is fixedly connected to a knob. Both sides of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to sliders, which are slidably connected inside the limiting groove.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The lower surface of the adjustment frame is rotatably connected to a forming column, and the upper surface of the other mounting bracket is fixedly mounted with a hydraulic cylinder. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to a pressure plate. The connecting rod has a threaded groove inside, and the screw is threaded into the inside of the threaded groove.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The lower surface of the operating table is provided with a clamping assembly, which includes two bidirectional studs that are rotatably connected to the lower surface of the operating table.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The operating console has two connection slots inside, and a stepper motor is fixedly installed on the other side of the operating console. One of the bidirectional studs is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the ring-forming component, utilizes the ring shape of the ring mold to facilitate the ring formation of the wire rope. By ensuring that the forming column is in close contact with one side of the wire rope, the other side of the wire rope is guided by the ring mold when it is squeezed, which facilitates the rapid ring formation of the wire rope. The position of the forming column can be easily adjusted by the adjustment frame. By adjusting the position and ensuring close contact with one side of the wire rope, it is possible to adapt to wire ropes of different thicknesses and improve the versatility of the equipment.
[0022] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the clamping component, uses two mutually close limiting blocks in two sets to easily clamp and fix the wire rope body. Under the action of the anti-slip groove, the wire rope is anti-slip during clamping, which helps to improve the stability of the wire rope when it is looped. Through the connection of the synchronous belt and the synchronous pulley, it is easy for a single motor to drive two bidirectional studs to rotate in the same direction, thereby facilitating the simultaneous driving of multiple limiting blocks to move.

[0032] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is a protective wire rope end loop forming device, including an operating table 1, and a loop forming component is provided on the upper surface of the operating table 1.
[0033] The ring-forming assembly includes an annular mold 2, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the operating table 1. Two mounting brackets 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the operating table 1. A variable speed motor 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of one of the mounting brackets 3. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the variable speed motor 4. An adjusting frame 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting rod 5, so that the position of the forming column 12 can be adjusted when the adjusting frame 6 slides outside the connecting rod 5. Limiting grooves 7 are opened on both sides of the adjusting frame 6. A shaft 8 is rotatably connected inside the adjusting frame 6.
[0034] As attached Figure 4 As shown, a screw 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft 8, and a knob 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the shaft 8. Slider 11 is fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting rod 5. The slider 11 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 7, which limits the movement of the adjusting frame 6. A forming column 12 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the adjusting frame 6. The forming column 12 facilitates the application of thrust to one side of the wire rope.
[0035] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of another mounting bracket 3. A pressure plate 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13, which helps to press the aluminum sleeve.
[0036] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the connecting rod 5 has a threaded groove 15 inside, and the screw 9 is threaded into the inside of the threaded groove 15. The threaded groove 15 matches the thread of the screw 9.
[0037] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a clamping assembly is provided on the lower surface of the operating table 1. The clamping assembly includes two bidirectional studs 18 with two opposite threads on the outside. The two bidirectional studs 18 are rotatably connected to the lower surface of the operating table 1. Two connecting slots 16 are opened inside the operating table 1. A stepper motor 17 is fixedly installed on the other side of the operating table 1. One of the bidirectional studs 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 17. An adjusting block 19 is connected to the external thread of the bidirectional stud 18 to facilitate the movement of the two limit blocks 20.
[0038] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a limiting block 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjusting block 19. An anti-slip groove 21 is provided on one side of the limiting block 20, which plays a limiting role on the wire rope body.
[0039] As attached Figure 3 As shown, two adjusting blocks 19 are slidably connected to the inside of the connecting groove 16 for connection with the limiting block 20. A synchronous wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bidirectional stud 18. A synchronous belt 23 is provided on the outside of the two synchronous wheels 22 to facilitate the simultaneous rotation of the two bidirectional studs 18.
[0040] As attached Figure 2 As shown, a protective shell 24 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the operating table 1, and a synchronous belt 23 is set inside the protective shell 24, which serves to limit the movement of the synchronous belt 23 on both sides.
[0041] Working principle: When in use, first put an aluminum sleeve on one end of the wire rope, then pass one end of the wire rope through the annular mold 2 and the forming column 12, and then manually adjust the wire rope to the middle position of the operating table 1. First start the stepper motor 17, and use its output end to drive one of the bidirectional studs 18 to rotate. When the bidirectional stud 18 rotates, it will drive the middle synchronous pulley 22 to rotate. Under the connection of the synchronous belt 23, it will drive the other synchronous pulley 22 to rotate, so that the other synchronous pulley 22 drives the other bidirectional stud 18 to rotate. When the two bidirectional studs 18 rotate, under the action of the opposite direction of their external threads, they will drive the two adjusting blocks 19 to move closer to each other. At this time, when the adjusting block 19 slides in the connecting groove 16, it will drive the limiting block 20 to move. When the two limiting blocks 20 in the same group move relative to each other, with the assistance of the anti-slip groove 21, it is easy to clamp and fix the wire rope.
[0042] After the rope is fixed, when one end of the wire rope is on one side of the annular mold 2, the wire rope is in a bent state. Then, depending on the thickness of the wire rope, the knob 10 is turned, causing the knob 10 to drive the screw 9 to rotate through the shaft 8. When the screw 9 rotates, it will cause the adjusting frame 6 to slide outside the connecting rod 5 under the connection of the threaded groove 15. At this time, the slider 11 slides inside the limiting groove 7, thereby causing the adjusting frame 6 to move the position of the forming column 12, connecting the forming column 12 with the wire rope. After one side is close, the variable speed motor 4 is started. With the connection of the adjustment frame 6 and the limit groove 7 at the output end of the variable speed motor 4, the forming column 12 is driven to revolve around the outside of the ring mold 2. Under the pushing force of the forming column 12, the wire rope is pushed and made into a ring shape. When one end of the ring overlaps with the wire rope body, the aluminum sleeve is put on the overlapping position. Then the hydraulic cylinder 13 is started, and its output end drives the pressure plate 14 to press down, pressing the aluminum sleeve on the outside of the wire rope, thereby completing the ring forming operation.
