Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cableway technology, and in particular relates to an ice-breaking device for cableway wire ropes. Background Technology

[0002] When cableway wire ropes operate in low-temperature environments, ice easily forms on their surface. This ice not only increases the weight of the wire ropes but can also cause increased running resistance and equipment wear, thus affecting the normal operation and safety of the cableway system. The presence of ice can also lead to malfunctions in the cableway control system, increasing the risk of failure and threatening the safety of passengers and equipment. Furthermore, ice makes the maintenance and inspection of the wire ropes more difficult, increasing maintenance costs and workload.

[0003] Current de-icing equipment and technologies on the market have certain limitations and are difficult to effectively solve the problem of icing on cableway wire ropes. Physical de-icing methods may damage the surface of the wire rope, thermal de-icing methods are energy-intensive and difficult to implement, while chemical de-icing methods may cause environmental pollution.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an ice-breaking unit according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and the appendix, provides further details. Figure 1-2 The present invention will be described in further detail below. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present invention.

[0020] This utility model provides an ice-breaking device for cableway wire ropes, including a mounting ring 2. The inner side of the mounting ring 2 has a freely rotatable rotating ring 3. The rotating ring can rotate freely within the mounting ring, allowing the ice-breaking wheel to automatically adjust its position as the wire rope moves, ensuring that the ice-breaking wheel is always in contact with the ice layer of the wire rope, thus improving the continuity and efficiency of ice breaking. Multiple ice-breaking units 4 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring 3. The ice-breaking wheel 44 of each ice-breaking unit 4 is disposed in the gap between the strands of the wire rope 5. The ice-breaking wheel is diamond-shaped. The diamond-shaped design allows the ice-breaking wheel to better adapt to the gap between the strands of the wire rope, thereby breaking the ice layer more effectively. The sharp corners of the diamond shape can concentrate pressure, improving ice-breaking efficiency while reducing damage to the wire rope.

[0021] Preferably, a plurality of fixing rings 1 are evenly provided on the outer wall of the mounting ring for fixed installation. This helps to stabilize the entire ice-breaking device, prevents displacement or tilting during the movement of the wire rope, and ensures the stability and reliability of the ice-breaking effect.

[0022] Preferably, a ball bearing is provided between the inner wall of the mounting ring 2 and the outer wall of the rotating ring 3 to reduce friction and enable smoother rotation, thereby reducing energy consumption and extending the service life of the equipment, and for the rotating ring 3 to rotate freely concentrically within the mounting ring 2.

[0023] Preferably, the ice-breaking unit 4 includes a diamond-shaped wheel 44 arranged radially along the rotating ring 3. The diamond-shaped wheel 44 is rotatably mounted on a wheel seat 454. The upper end of the wheel seat 454 is provided with a movable lead screw 43. The movable lead screw 43 is threadedly mounted in a lead screw seat 41. The lower end of the movable lead screw 43 is provided with a fixing nut 42.

[0024] The movable lead screw and fixed nut design in the ice-breaking unit allows for fine-tuning of the diamond-shaped wheel's position to accommodate ice layers of varying thicknesses or steel wire rope specifications, enhancing the device's adaptability and flexibility. This device breaks ice physically, eliminating the need for chemicals and making it more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, its high-efficiency ice-breaking capability and low-friction design contribute to reduced energy consumption and energy savings.

[0025] The operation process of this utility model includes:

[0026] Installation and Securing: First, secure the mounting ring of the icebreaker to the appropriate position on the cableway wire rope. This is achieved by connecting multiple evenly distributed securing rings on the outer wall of the mounting ring to a securing rope or other securing device. These securing devices can be hooks, clamps, or other mechanical structures fixed to the cableway support, ensuring the mounting ring maintains a stable position as the wire rope moves.

[0027] Icebreaking unit preparation: Inside the mounting ring, there is a freely rotatable rotating ring. Multiple icebreaking units are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating ring. Each icebreaking unit includes a diamond-shaped wheel. The shape of these diamond-shaped wheels is designed so that they can be precisely positioned in the gaps between the strands of the wire rope.

[0028] The movement of the wire rope drives the rotation: As the cableway wire rope moves, it drives the rotating ring to rotate. Ball bearings are installed between the inner wall of the rotating ring and the outer wall of the mounting ring, allowing the rotating ring to rotate freely and concentrically within the mounting ring, thus effectively converting the movement of the wire rope into the rotation of the icebreaker wheel.

[0029] Icebreaking process: The icebreaking wheels rotate along with the rotating ring. The shape and position of their diamond-shaped wheels enable them to effectively squeeze and break the ice layer on the wire rope. The diamond-shaped wheels of each icebreaking unit are arranged radially along the rotating ring and are adjusted and fixed by wheel seats and moving screws to ensure that proper contact pressure is maintained between the icebreaking wheels and the strands of the wire rope.
