Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope maintenance technology, specifically to a wire rope intelligent maintenance device that can be equipped with multiple modules and has strong adaptability. Background Technology
[0002] Steel wire ropes used in offshore oil and petrochemical operations, offshore drilling rigs, and mooring ropes for oil storage barges in marine engineering, etc., are used in seawater (or the seabed) for a long time. Due to their long-term use, the surface of these steel wire ropes will be covered with a layer of silt, dirt, or marine algae. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain and care for these types of steel wire ropes that are used on the seabed, remove the attached substances (such as silt, dirt, or marine algae), and apply oil to lubricate the steel wire ropes. This can effectively extend the service life of the steel wire ropes on the seabed, thereby reducing project costs.
[0003] The current cleaning and maintenance process for submarine wire ropes is roughly as follows: after the wire rope is pulled from the seabed to the deck of the offshore platform (or engineering vessel), the silt and dirt on the wire rope are cleaned manually using a high-pressure water gun. After cleaning and drying, the wire rope is lubricated and maintained by manually applying grease.
[0004] The manual cleaning and maintenance of a range of steel wire ropes used in offshore oil and petrochemical operations, offshore drilling rigs, and mooring vessels for marine engineering oil storage barges is a lengthy process involving washing, drying, and oiling. This process is highly susceptible to weather conditions. Inclement weather can lead to incomplete drying, affecting subsequent oiling. Furthermore, manual operation suffers from drawbacks such as incomplete removal of silt and dirt, and uneven application of lubricant. Additionally, the recovery and treatment of wastewater from cleaning and grease drippings during oiling are relatively cumbersome and complex, and improper operation can lead to seawater pollution.
[0005] As shown in the 201910282684.1 steel wire rope washing, oiling, and maintenance device, its disadvantages include: Spraying oiling results in significant waste of new oil and is not environmentally friendly; if the lubricating grease is very viscous, it may not be able to be sprayed out, causing blockage in the grease pipeline; all structures of the steel wire rope washing, oiling, and maintenance device are tightly connected, and the cleaning and drying processes cannot be directly observed. If cleaning and drying are inadequate and oiling is performed directly, it will accelerate the corrosion of the steel wire rope, which is counterproductive; large pieces of mud and grime flushed down by the high-pressure water nozzles in the cleaning system of the steel wire rope washing, oiling, and maintenance device can clog the drain pipe, causing malfunctions in the cleaning system. Utility Model Content

The hot air blower is connected to the high-pressure air pipe connected to the high-temperature drying module 2.3. The main control unit is connected to the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injector, the high-pressure water pump and the hot air blower.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 It can be equipped with a multi-module and highly adaptable intelligent wire rope maintenance equipment. After the boxes 1.2 and 1.1, 2.2 and 2.1, and 3.2 and 3.1 are closed, they are locked by a rotary lock.
[0056] The specific usage process of the intelligent wire rope maintenance equipment that can be equipped with multiple modules and has strong adaptability is as follows: When the wire rope with dirt attached moves from the seabed to the deck under the action of the winch, it first passes through the heavy dirt removal winch 1.5 on the right end of the high pressure coarse washing module 1.3 in the cleaning device 1, which scrapes off the sludge that is higher than the inlet diameter of the high pressure coarse washing module 1.3. The scraped dirt is directly stored in the chamber below the high pressure coarse washing module 1.3 and finally falls into the dirt collection drawer 1.2.3 of the coarse washing box for recycling.
[0057] Afterwards, the dirt adhering to the gaps between the steel wire rope strands is rinsed by high-pressure fresh water (or water with added dirt decomposition solvent) sprayed from the high-pressure coarse washing module 1.3 inner cavity through multiple annular spray nozzles 1.6 arranged vertically at a 45° angle. Most of the muddy water flows out through the sewage discharge port 1.7 in the chamber below the high-pressure coarse washing module 1.3 in the first chamber 1.2 and then undergoes solid-liquid separation through the coarse washing box centrifuge 1.2.6. The separated solid dirt is stored in the dirt collection drawer 1.2.3 of the coarse washing box, and the separated liquid is connected to the high-pressure water pipeline through the circulation pipeline for reuse in the high-pressure coarse washing process.
[0058] The wire rope then passes through the high-pressure fine cleaning module 1.4, whose main function is to assist in cleaning dirt. It removes the solvents that decomposed the dirt on the surface of the wire rope during the initial coarse cleaning process, as well as any remaining dirt, through high-pressure fresh water sprayed from multiple annular nozzles 1.6 at a vertical twist angle of 45°. This prevents the solvents from prolonged contact with the wire rope, which could corrode it and affect its service life. The rinsed fresh water flows out through the wastewater discharge port 1.7 on the high-pressure fine cleaning module 1.4 and into the chamber located below the high-pressure fine cleaning module 1.4 in the housing 1.2. It is then separated by the centrifuge 1.2.7 in the fine cleaning box. The separated solvents and dirt are stored in the dirt collection drawer 1.2.4 of the fine cleaning box. The drawer-type dirt collection box facilitates manual recycling and unified disposal, avoiding environmental pollution. The separated liquid is connected to the high-pressure water pipeline through a circulation pipeline and reused for high-pressure water supply during the high-pressure fine cleaning process.
[0059] At this point, the dirt on the wire rope is almost completely washed away. This process can be observed through the observation window on the cleaning device 1. The speed of the wire rope winch or the water output speed of the high-pressure water pump can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the wire rope passing through the cleaning device 1 is thoroughly cleaned. The wastewater generated during the high-pressure rinsing process is recycled and treated uniformly to prevent sewage from being directly discharged into the sea and thus to prevent environmental pollution.
[0060] The cleaned wire rope then passes through the high-temperature drying module 2.3 in the drying device 2. The drying chamber wall inside the high-temperature drying module 2.3 has multiple annularly distributed air jets 2.4 at a 45° angle perpendicular to the wire rope's twist direction. This 45° angle ensures the direction of the hot air is perpendicular to the concave areas of the wire rope strands, facilitating hot air penetration between the strands and drying the damp wire rope quickly. This process can be observed through the observation window of the cover 2.1 in the drying device 2. The speed of the wire rope winch or the outlet speed of the hot air blower can be adjusted as needed to ensure the damp wire rope is thoroughly dried after passing through the high-temperature drying module 2.3. Liquids and waste generated during the drying process are collected along the funnel-shaped collection piece 2.2.2 and stored in the dirt collection drawer 2.2.3 for easy manual collection and unified disposal, preventing environmental pollution.
[0061] After passing through the drying device 2, the wire rope is clean and dry. It then enters the lubrication device 3. Through the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3 in the lubrication device 3, different oil outlet ports are selected based on the viscosity of the lubricating grease. When the grease is thick and viscous, the oil outlet pipe of the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection machine connects to the grease pipeline on the thick grease outlet 3.4. The thick grease enters the lubrication chamber 3.8 of the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3. The wire rope, within the lubrication chamber 3.8 formed by the oil sealing plate 3.6 and the oil scraper 3.7, fully contacts the grease, achieving a lubricating effect. When the wire rope passes through the scraper 3.7 structure, the scraper 3.7 can scrape off the grease thicker than 1mm on the wire rope and store it in the lubrication chamber 3.8. Similarly, if the lubricating grease has a low viscosity and is in a water-like state, the oil outlet pipe of the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injector is connected to the grease pipeline on the liquid grease outlet 3.5 in the middle area of the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3. The lubrication process is then carried out in the same way as described above. The high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3 has two oil outlets to achieve lubricating grease with different viscosities. Using the same high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3 can achieve a perfect wire rope lubrication effect.
[0062] The high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection module 3.3 has a high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection function and the oil volume is adjustable. This process can be observed through the observation window on the drying device 2. The speed of the wire rope winch or the oil output of the high-pressure temperature-controlled oil injection machine can be adjusted as needed to coat the surface of the wire rope with an oil film of about 0.5 to 1 mm thick, so that the wire rope can achieve a perfect lubrication effect.
[0063] To prevent grease leakage due to improper operation during lubrication, a funnel-shaped collection component 2 (3.2.2) and a grease collection drawer 3.2.3 are designed. Leaked grease can be stored in the grease collection drawer 3.2.3 along the funnel-shaped collection component 2 (3.2.2) for easy manual collection. The collected grease can be recycled to prevent waste and avoid environmental pollution.
[0064] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
