Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire rope insertion machines, and more specifically to an automatic wire rope insertion machine. Background Technology
[0002] Wire rope slings are widely used in various lifting and hoisting operations. However, inserting wire rope slings is a tedious and laborious task. The usual practice is to clamp the wire rope end in a vise or lay it flat on the ground, with two people working together to pry open the strands with a flathead screwdriver and insert the slings. Because the strand ends are not guided, overlapping strands often occur, requiring them to be pulled out and re-inserted. This is time-consuming and laborious, and the human body has to change positions multiple times. After inserting several slings, the wrists will become red and swollen. The labor intensity is high and the efficiency is low. In addition, manually inserted wire ropes do not have the conditions to tighten them properly, resulting in loose strands that are easy to slip out, which is not conducive to safe lifting. The existing wire rope sling insertion machine has a main structure with a limit clamp installed on the right side of the workbench and a guide pin installed above the workbench. During operation, the operator moves the wire rope onto the sling insertion machine and works with the guide pin to complete the slinging work.
[0003] Currently, wire rope insertion machines still rely on manual handling of the ropes and the insertion of the ropes using guide pins. When operating large ropes, workers first need to move the large rope to the vicinity of the workbench, then lift it onto a limiting clamp for positioning. A flathead screwdriver is used to pry open the strands, and workers manually place the strands onto the guide pin, press down the pin, and insert the strands. Then, workers manually flip the large rope before repeating the process. This makes twisting and threading the rope extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, significantly reducing production efficiency. In the above operations, the handling and flipping of large ropes are all done manually, which is difficult, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide an automatic wire rope sleeve insertion machine that can flip and efficiently insert large wire ropes is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
