Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a deviation alarm device for the current collector of an overhead crane sliding line, belonging to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for electrolytic aluminum production. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge cranes, also known as overhead cranes, are typically powered by a sliding line and a current collector. The current collector slides within the sliding line using a support and springs. The sliding line is fixed and has high requirements for verticality and parallelism. Usually, the current collector consists of a support and a spring, and its tilt angle can be adjusted.
[0003] After prolonged use, the overhead crane's sliding rails and current collectors inevitably experience wear. This wear increases the gap between the sliding rails and current collectors, causing the current collector contacts to deflect within the sliding rails. This deflection further exacerbates the wear between the sliding rails and current collectors. As the sliding rails and current collectors continue to wear, the current collector contacts may detach from the sliding rails, and the sliding rail's conductor bars may fall off, causing grounding faults and other safety hazards that could easily lead to accidents. Because the location where the current collector and sliding rails are installed is relatively concealed, it is difficult to detect wear in a timely manner through manual visual inspection alone. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a crane sliding line current collector deviation alarm device, which provides early warning before the sliding line and current collector are severely worn, so as to avoid safety hazards caused by the wear of the sliding line and current collector.
[0005] The present invention relates to a crane sliding line current collector deviation alarm device, comprising: a sliding line and a current collector, wherein a current receiving base for introducing current into the current collector is slidably connected to the sliding line, and the sliding line is inserted into a groove of the current receiving base;
[0006] The inner wall of the power receiving base slide is equipped with a pressure switch and a break-in plate, with the break-in plate located between the pressure switch and the slide wire; the pressure switch is protected and shielded by the break-in plate.
[0007] An alarm is provided on the outer side of the power receiving base, which is electrically connected to the pressure switch.
[0008] Furthermore, the power receiver includes a housing, inside which a conductive block is provided. A slide wire is slidably connected to the housing, and the conductive block is movably embedded in the slide wire. The current collector introduces current through the conductive block.
[0009] Furthermore, the break-in plate includes: a break-in plate connected to the inner wall of the housing, with a wear plate attached to the side of the break-in plate near the slide line.
[0010] Furthermore, the contact plate is provided with stress grooves for bending itself.
[0011] Furthermore, the press-fit switch includes: a base housing, an elastic block inside the base housing, a contact on the elastic block, and an elastic contact piece covering the opening of the base housing;
[0012] The elastic contact piece and the contact head are connected in series in the circuit as the contacts of the alarm.
[0013] Furthermore, the alarm type is an audible and visual alarm.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0015] This invention uses a wear plate combined with a pressure switch to provide timely feedback on the wear status of the current collector and the sliding line. At the same time, an alarm signal is emitted, making it easy for manual detection of wear and avoiding safety hazards caused by further wear of the sliding line and current collector, thus improving the safety of crane operation.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: it includes a sliding wire 5 and a current collector 6. A current receiving base 1 for introducing current to the current collector 6 is slidably connected on the sliding wire 5, and the sliding wire 5 is inserted into the sliding groove of the current receiving base 1.
[0028] The inner wall of the slide groove of the power receiving base 1 is provided with a pressure switch 4 and a running plate 3, and the running plate 3 is located between the pressure switch 4 and the sliding line 5; the pressure switch 4 is protected and shielded by the running plate 3.
[0029] An alarm 2, which is electrically connected to the pressure switch 4, is provided on the outer side of the power receiving base 1.
[0030] Specifically, the power receiving base 1 includes a housing 101, a conductive block 102 is provided inside the housing 101, a slide wire 5 is slidably connected to the housing 101, and the conductive block 102 is movably embedded in the slide wire 5; the current collector 6 introduces current through the conductive block 102.
[0031] Specifically, the break-in plate 3 includes: a break-in plate 301 connected to the inner wall of the housing 101, and a wear plate 302 attached to the side of the break-in plate 301 near the slide rail 5. The break-in plate 301 is provided with stress grooves 303 for bending itself. In this embodiment, the break-in plate 301 is made of brittle plastic, and the wear plate 302 is made of rubber material.
[0032] After the current collector 6 deviates, the wear plate 302 on the side of the current collector 6 that deviates from the direction comes into contact with the slide rail 5. The wear plate 302 is gradually worn away. At this time, the current collector 6 continues to press the low-strength broken contact plate 301. Under the action of the stress groove 303, the broken contact plate 301 is more likely to bend and deform. The bent and deformed broken contact plate 301 further presses onto the elastic contact piece 401. The elastic contact piece 401 is pressed onto the contact 402, and the circuit of the alarm 2 is connected. At this time, the alarm 2 sounds an alarm.
[0033] Specifically, alarm type 2 is an audible and visual alarm.
[0034] Specifically, the pressure switch 4 includes: a base shell 404, an elastic block 403 inside the base shell 404, a contact 402 on the elastic block 403, and an elastic contact piece 401 covering the opening of the base shell 404; both the elastic contact piece 401 and the contact 402 are made of metal material, and there is a gap between the elastic contact piece 401 and the contact 402. Under the action of external force, the elastic contact piece 401 deforms and comes into contact with the contact 402.
[0035] The elastic contact 401 and contact 402 are connected in series in the circuit as contacts of the alarm 2.
[0036] The specific working method is as follows:
[0037] There is a gap between the wear plate 3 and the pressure switch 4. As the wear plate 3 is worn, its thickness gradually decreases. When the thickness of the wear plate 3 is insufficient to support the pressure between the slide rail 5 and the current collector 6, the wear plate 3 is crushed. The wear plate 3 then adheres to the pressure switch 4, which is triggered. The alarm 2 connected to the pressure switch 4 is energized and sends out an alarm to remind the staff to promptly inspect and replace the current collector 6 and the slide rail 5.
[0038] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples, and all equivalent changes and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should be included in the patent coverage of this utility model.
