Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wire rope production and processing technology, and specifically to an I-shaped sizing device for wire rope sizing and forming, that is, an I-shaped wire rope sizing device. Background Technology

[0002] Wire rope sizing devices control the diameter and roundness of wire ropes. In existing devices, the slider runs within a dovetail groove on the base plate, with the contact surface between the slider and the groove being the bottom surface of the dovetail plate. However, the actual thrust point is at the center of the slider. Because the contact surface and the center of force are not aligned, the slider and groove are severely damaged. Long-term wear causes the slider to tilt, rendering it ineffective in controlling the rope diameter and roundness. If severe tilting is not detected in time, it can even damage the wire rope and render it unusable.

[0003] Patent application publication CN102011333 A discloses a wire rope sizing device that allows for the replacement of sizing rollers without disassembly. While the sizing rollers can be replaced quickly and conveniently, the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface and the center of force not being in the same direction, causing serious damage to the slider and track. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide an I-shaped wire rope sizing device, which solves the problem that in the prior art, the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface and the center of force not being in the same direction, causing serious damage to the slider and the slide rail.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an I-beam wire rope sizing device, comprising: a base plate; limiting plates installed on the front and rear sides of the base plate; side plates installed on the left and right sides of the base plate, each side plate having a slide rail and a rope-passing groove; two opposing sliders slidably disposed on the slide rails, each slider having two rolling rollers rotatably mounted on it; a sizing wheel in contact with the roller surfaces of the two rolling rollers; and an adjusting screw passing through the limiting plates and threadedly connected to the limiting plates. The sliders have a groove-shaped structure, with at least a portion of the rolling roller bodies located within the groove-shaped structure of the slider.

[0006] The slide rails on the side plates of the I-shaped wire rope sizing device provided by the above solution constrain and distribute the force on the slider. The increased contact surface between the slider and the slide rails on the side plates increases the contact area and the total force-bearing area, while reducing the force per unit area. This improves the reliability of the slider and slide rails, ensures the stable operation of the device, and effectively avoids damage to the slider and slide rails caused by improper slider positioning. It also ensures that the slider is aligned with the center of force, solving the problem in the prior art where the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface being inconsistent with the center of force, which in turn causes serious damage to the slider and slide rails.

[0007] To further improve the stability of the slider-slide connection and force distribution, as an option for the above-mentioned I-shaped wire rope sizing device, the slide includes a concave track and a convex track, and the slider slidingly connected to the slide includes a protrusion and a concave block.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-section of the slider is I-shaped, and the cavity formed by the base plate and the slide rail is also I-shaped. The I-shaped slider maintains structural stability under heavy loads and is less prone to deformation. The protrusions 411 on the upper and lower parts of the I-shaped slider act as limiting constraints and guides, further enhancing the stability of the fit between the slider and the slide rail. This allows the entire device to distribute force more evenly when under stress, reducing component damage caused by excessive localized stress and improving the stability and durability of the device.

[0009] To protect the aforementioned I-beam wire rope sizing device, a preferred improvement is to include a top plate disposed at the top of the cavity formed by the limiting plate and the side plate. The top plate effectively prevents external dust and debris from entering the device, and also provides safety protection, reducing the risk of operators contacting hazardous parts and improving the safety of the working process.

[0010] The technical advantages of this application are as follows:

[0011] 1. The slide rails provided on the side plates of the I-beam wire rope sizing device provided in this application constrain and distribute the force on the slider. The increased contact surface between the slider and the slide rails on the side plates increases the contact area, the total force-bearing area increases, the force per unit area decreases, the reliability of the slider and slide rails is improved, the stable operation of the device is guaranteed, and the damage to the slider and slide rails caused by unreasonable slider positioning is effectively avoided. The slider is aligned with the force center direction, solving the problem in the prior art where the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface and the force center direction being inconsistent, which in turn causes serious damage to the slider and slide rails.

[0012] 2. The "I"-shaped slider can maintain structural stability and is not prone to deformation under heavy loads. The protrusions 411 on the upper and lower parts of the "I"-shaped slider can play a limiting and guiding role, further enhancing the stability of the cooperation between the slider and the track. This allows the entire device to distribute the force more evenly when under stress, reducing component damage caused by excessive local stress and improving the stability and durability of the device.

[0019] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The I-beam wire rope sizing device provided in this application aims to solve the problem in the prior art where the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface and the center of force being inconsistent, which in turn causes serious damage to the slider and the slide rail.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-3 The schematic diagram shows an I-beam wire rope sizing device, which includes a base plate 1, a limiting plate 2, a side plate 3, a slider 4, a rolling roller 5, a sizing wheel 6, and an adjusting screw 7. It achieves effective sizing of the wire rope while improving the stability and durability of the device.

[0022] The base plate 1 serves as the fundamental support component of the entire device, providing an installation surface for other components. It is a rectangular flat plate structure with sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand various loads generated during operation. Limiting plates 2 are installed on the front and rear sides of the base plate 1, limiting the sliding range of the slider 4. The limiting plates 2 are securely connected to the base plate 1 using conventional fixing methods such as welding and bolting, ensuring no loosening or displacement during operation. A threaded hole is provided in the center of the limiting plate 2 for installing the adjusting screw 7. Side plates 3 are installed on the left and right sides of the base plate 1, symmetrically arranged. Each side plate 3 has a slide rail 31 and a rope groove 32. The slide rail 31 is located on the inner side of the side plate 3, its shape matching the sliding part of the slider 4, providing guidance and support for the slider 4's sliding motion. Alternatively, the surface of the slide rail 31 may have a certain degree of smoothness to reduce friction during slider 4 sliding. The rope groove 32 is located in the center of the side plate 3 for the wire rope to pass through the device. The dimensions of the rope groove 32 should be set according to the diameter and range of motion of the wire rope to ensure that the wire rope can pass smoothly and avoid friction between the wire rope and the side plate 3 during the passage. Two sliders 4 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 31, and the sliding directions of the two sliders 4 are opposite. The shape of the slider 4 is adapted to the slide rail 31, and its bottom and sides are in contact with the slide rail 31. Through the constraint of the slide rail 31, the force is not offset and the operation is stable. The slider 4 has a groove-shaped structure, and at least part of the roller body of the rolling roller 5 is located in the groove-shaped structure of the slider 4. Two rolling rollers 5 are rotatably mounted on the slider 4 through a rotating connector, so that the rolling rollers 5 can roll freely on the slider 4. The roller surface of the rolling roller 5 should have a high degree of smoothness to reduce friction with the sizing wheel 6 and improve the stability of the device operation. The sizing wheel 6 is in contact with the roller surfaces of the two rolling rollers 5. The shape and size of the sizing wheel 6 are designed according to the sizing requirements of the wire rope. The sizing wheel 6 is provided with a sizing groove 61. Optionally, the sizing wheel 6 can be mounted on a shaft, allowing it to rotate under the drive of the rolling roller 5, simultaneously applying sizing pressure to the wire rope. The adjusting screw 7 passes through the limiting plate 2 and is threaded onto the limiting plate 2. One end of the adjusting screw 7 can be equipped with a handle or other operating component, facilitating the operator to rotate the adjusting screw 7. By rotating the adjusting screw 7, the slider 4 can be pushed or pulled to slide on the slide rail 31, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sliders 4, and thus changing the sizing pressure of the sizing wheel 6 on the wire rope to meet the sizing requirements of different specifications of wire rope.

[0023] The working process of the I-beam wire rope sizing device provided above is as follows:

[0024] In practical use, the wire rope is first passed through the rope groove 32 on the side plate 3, positioning it between the two sizing wheels 6. Then, according to the specifications of the wire rope and the sizing requirements, the adjusting screw 7 is rotated. Under the action of the threaded connection, the adjusting screw 7 pushes or pulls the slider 4 to slide on the slide rail 31, causing the two sliders 4 to move towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sizing wheels 6. When the sizing wheel 6 contacts the wire rope and applies appropriate pressure, the wire rope is squeezed by the sizing wheel 6 during the process of passing through the device, achieving sizing. During the operation of the device, the rolling roller 5 rolls on the slider 4, and the sizing wheel 6 rotates on the roller surface of the rolling roller 5. At the same time, the slide rail 31 constrains and disperses the force on the slider 4. The contact surface between the slider 4 and the slide rail 31 of the side plate 3 increases, the contact area increases, the total force-bearing area increases, and the force per unit area decreases. This improves the reliability of the slider and slide rail, ensuring the stable operation of the device and effectively avoiding damage to the slider and slide rail caused by improper slider positioning.

[0025] In summary, the I-beam wire rope sizing device of this application achieves alignment between the slider and the center of force by setting a slide rail 31 on the side plate 3, which solves the problem in the prior art where the slider is only positioned at the bottom, resulting in the contact surface not being aligned with the center of force, and thus causing serious damage to the slider and slide rail.

[0026] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 In some preferred embodiments, the slide rail 31 includes a recess 311 and a convex rail 312, which are connected to each other to form a sliding guide structure. The recess 311 is a groove formed along the front-rear direction of the side plate 3, having a certain depth and width, providing sliding space and limiting constraint space for the corresponding part of the slider 4. The convex rail 312 is a portion protruding from the surface of the side plate 3, adjacent to the recess 311, further enhancing the guiding and constraining effect of the slide rail 31 on the slider 4.

[0027] The slider 4 has a protrusion 411 and a recess 412 at the sliding connection point with the slide rail 31. The protrusion 411 is a part that protrudes from the surface of the slider 4, and its shape and size match the recess 311 in the slide rail 31. It can be embedded in the recess 311 to achieve the constraint positioning and sliding guidance of the slider 4 on the slide rail 31. The recess 412 is a groove formed on the slider 4, and its shape and size are adapted to the protrusion 312 in the slide rail 31. The protrusion 312 can be embedded in the recess 412 to further restrict the constraint positioning and sliding of the slider 4.

[0028] Preferably, the cross-section of the slider 4 is designed in an "I" shape, and the cavity formed by the base plate 1 and the slide rail 31 is also in an "I" shape. This design allows the structure to maintain stability under heavy loads and prevents deformation. Furthermore, during sliding, the protrusions 411 on the upper and lower parts of the "I"-shaped slider 4 provide some limiting and guiding functions, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the slider 4 and the slide rail 31. The "I"-shaped structure formed by the slider 4, base plate 1, and slide rail 31 allows for a more even distribution of force when the device is under stress, reducing component damage caused by excessive localized stress and improving the stability and durability of the device.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, this application effectively solves the problems of inaccurate slider positioning, poor device stability, and easy damage of components in the prior art by optimizing the sliding connection structure of the slide rail 31 and the slider 4 and adopting an "I"-shaped cross-section design. The "I"-shaped slide rail has a large contact area, is not difficult to process, and does not require high processing precision. Moreover, it is not easily worn or deformed after being subjected to force, and has extremely high durability. After the improvement, the center of the contact surface of the "I"-shaped slider 4 is in the center of the slider, and the center of force is also in the center of the slider, achieving the effect that the center of force and the center of the contact surface are on the same center line.

[0030] Continue to refer to Figure 4 In some preferred embodiments, the I-beam wire rope sizing device of this application further includes a top plate 8. The top plate 8 is a flat plate structure with a certain strength and rigidity. Its shape and size are set according to the shape and size of the top opening of the cavity formed by the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3. It is usually rectangular to ensure that it can completely cover and close the top of the cavity.

[0031] The top plate 8 is positioned at the top of the cavity formed by the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3 using a suitable connection method. Common connection methods include bolt connection, where threaded holes are made at the edges of the top plate 8 and at corresponding positions on the tops of the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3, and the top plate 8 is securely fixed to the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3 with bolts; alternatively, welding connection can be used. For some devices with high requirements for sealing and integrity and which do not require subsequent disassembly, welding can be used to connect the top plate 8 to the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3 to ensure the strength and stability of the connection.

[0032] The top plate 8 is positioned at the top of the cavity formed by the limiting plate 2 and the side plate 3, effectively preventing external dust and debris from entering the device. The top plate 8 also provides safety protection. During operation, internal components such as the rolling roller 5 and the sizing wheel 6 rotate at high speed. Without the protection of the top plate 8, accidental contact with these components by operators could lead to accidents. The top plate 8 isolates the internal moving parts from the outside environment, reducing the risk of operators coming into contact with dangerous parts and improving the safety of the working process.
