Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, and in particular to a wire rope cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of elevators, wire ropes accumulate dust, dirt, and lubricant residue over time. This can lead to increased friction, accelerated wear, and even affect the elevator's operating efficiency and safety. Therefore, regular cleaning of wire ropes is essential.

[0003] To facilitate cleaning of the wire rope, brushes are installed on its circumference. When the elevator is running, the wire rope moves relative to the brushes, and the grease and grime on the wire rope are scraped off by the brushes, thus achieving an automatic cleaning effect. However, during elevator operation, the wire rope is constantly scraped against the same spot on the brush, causing some areas of the brush to become severely worn while others remain intact. When the cleaning ability of the severely worn areas on the brush decreases, the entire brush needs to be replaced, resulting in the unused areas not being fully utilized and leading to low brush utilization rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wire rope cleaning device, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that when the cleaning ability of the severely abraded parts of the brush decreases, the entire brush needs to be replaced, and the intact parts are not fully utilized, resulting in a low utilization rate of the brush.

[0005] This utility model provides a wire rope cleaning device, including a mounting base, a cleaning component, a sliding base, and a drive assembly. The cleaning component is disposed on the sliding base, and the sliding base is slidably connected to the mounting base. The drive assembly is disposed on the mounting base, and the power output end of the drive assembly is connected to the sliding base. The cleaning component is used to scrape the wire rope when it moves along its axial direction. The drive assembly is used to drive the sliding base to slide relative to the mounting base along the radial direction of the wire rope, thereby driving the cleaning component to move along the radial direction of the wire rope.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a rocker arm, and a pulley. The drive motor is mounted on the mounting base, the rocker arm is located at the power output end of the drive motor, and the pulley is rotatably connected to the rocker arm at a position offset from the central axis of the drive motor. A sliding groove is provided on the sliding base, and the pulley is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The drive motor is used to drive the rocker arm to rotate around the central axis of the drive motor, thereby causing the pulley to slide within the sliding groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a first slide rail, and the sliding base is provided with a first slider, the first slider being slidably connected to the first slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the sliding base, which allows the cleaning component to be inserted along the radial direction of the wire rope.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting member is provided at the opening of the slot, which is used to restrict the cleaning component from being dislodged from the slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a sliding base, a fixed base, and an adjustment component. The sliding base is disposed on the sliding base and the sliding base can slide relative to the fixed base. The adjustment component is connected to the sliding base and the fixed base respectively, and the adjustment component is used to adjust the distance between the sliding base and the fixed base.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly includes an adjusting screw, an adjusting nut, and a spring.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a wire rope cleaning device, including a mounting base 1, a cleaning component 2, a sliding base 3, and a drive assembly 4. The cleaning component 2 is disposed on the sliding base 3, and the sliding base 3 is slidably connected to the mounting base 1. The drive assembly 4 is disposed on the mounting base 1, and the power output end of the drive assembly 4 is connected to the sliding base 3. The cleaning component 2 is used to scrape the wire rope 5 when it moves along its axial direction. The drive assembly 4 is used to drive the sliding base 3 to slide relative to the mounting base 1 along the radial direction of the wire rope 5, so as to drive the cleaning component 2 to move along the radial direction of the wire rope 5.

[0019] In this application, the wire rope 5 is wound around the traction machine, which is mounted on a crossbeam. Therefore, the mounting base 1 can be mounted on the crossbeam. Under the traction of the traction machine, the wire rope 5 moves up and down along its axial direction. During this process, the cleaning component 2 is always in contact with the wire rope 5. Simultaneously with the start of the traction machine, the drive assembly 4 is activated, which drives the cleaning component 2 to move radially along the wire rope 5, i.e., the cleaning component 2 moves horizontally. This ensures that every part of the cleaning component 2 is fully utilized, thus eliminating the need to replace the entire brush and improving the utilization rate of the cleaning component 2.

[0020] Specifically, cleaning component 2 can be a brush.

[0021] In one feasible embodiment, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a rocker arm 42, and a pulley 43. The drive motor 41 is mounted on the mounting base 1, the rocker arm 42 is located at the power output end of the drive motor 41, and the pulley 43 is rotatably connected to the rocker arm 42 at a position offset from the central axis of the drive motor 41. A sliding base 3 has a groove 30, and the pulley 43 is slidably connected within the groove 30. The drive motor 41 drives the rocker arm 42 to rotate around the central axis of the drive motor 41, thereby causing the pulley 43 to slide within the groove 30. In this embodiment, when the rocker arm 42 rotates around the central axis of the drive motor 41, it drives the pulley 43 to rotate around the central axis of the drive motor 41, allowing the pulley 43 to slide up and down within the groove 30. During the sliding process of the pulley 43, it drives the sliding base 3 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the cleaning component 2 to also reciprocate synchronously, further improving the utilization rate of the cleaning component 2.

[0022] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting base 1 is provided with a first slide rail 11, and the sliding base 3 is provided with a first slider 31, the first slider 31 being slidably connected to the first slide rail 11. In some other feasible embodiments, the first slide rail 11 can be disposed on the sliding base 3, and the first slider 31 can be disposed on the mounting base 1.

[0023] In one feasible embodiment, a slot 32 is provided on the sliding base 3, which allows the cleaning component 2 to be inserted along the radial direction of the wire rope 5.

[0024] In one feasible implementation, a limiting member 33 is provided at the opening of the slot 32, which is used to restrict the cleaning member 2 from being dislodged from the slot 32. Specifically, the limiting member 33 can be a screw. A threaded hole is made on the sliding base 3 at the position corresponding to the slot 32, and the screw is screwed into the threaded hole to abut against the cleaning member 2, thereby restricting the cleaning member 2 from being dislodged from the slot 32.

[0025] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting base 1 includes a sliding base 12, a fixed base 13, and an adjusting component 14. The sliding base 13 is disposed on the sliding base 12, and the sliding base 12 can slide relative to the fixed base 13. The adjusting component 14 connects the sliding base 12 and the fixed base 13 respectively, and is used to adjust the distance between the sliding base 12 and the fixed base 13. Since the distance between the brush and the wire rope 5 is relatively fixed, even if the wire rope 5 has been cleaned, as long as the elevator is running, the wire rope 5 will move relative to the brush. The brush is in long-term contact with the wire rope 5, resulting in a shorter brush lifespan and easy damage. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the cleaning of the wire rope 5 is completed, the adjusting component 14 shortens the distance between the sliding base 12 and the fixed base 13, so that the sliding base 12 moves the cleaning component 2 away from the wire rope 5, thereby avoiding long-term scraping between the cleaning component 2 and the wire rope 5, and thus extending the service life of the cleaning component 2. When cleaning of the wire rope 5 is required, the adjusting component 14 extends the distance between the sliding seat 12 and the fixed seat 13, so that the sliding seat 12 moves the cleaning component 2 closer to the wire rope 5, thereby causing the cleaning component 2 to scrape against the wire rope 5 and clean it. In this embodiment, the fixed seat 13 is mounted on the crossbeam, and the sliding seat 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail on the crossbeam.

[0026] Specifically, the adjusting assembly 14 includes an adjusting screw 141, an adjusting nut 142, and a spring 143. One end of the adjusting screw 141 is connected to the sliding seat 12, and the other end passes through the fixed seat 13 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut 142. The spring 143 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 141, and its two ends abut against the sliding seat 12 and the fixed seat 13, respectively. The adjusting nut 142 is used to screw to adjust the distance between the sliding seat 12 and the fixed seat 13, and the spring 143 is used to push the sliding seat 12 closer to the wire rope 5. Under the elastic force of the spring 143, the sliding seat 12 is pushed towards the wire rope 5. When the adjusting nut 142 is screwed, the spring 143 is further compressed when the distance between the sliding seat 12 and the fixed seat 13 is further shortened; when the distance between the sliding seat 12 and the fixed seat 13 is further increased, the spring 143 is further released. In this embodiment, the spring 143 can absorb the vibration generated when the cleaning component 2 scrapes the steel wire rope 5, thereby improving stability.
