Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting and rewinding systems, and more particularly to a wire rope slitting system. Background Technology
[0002] Wire rope is a helical rope made of high-strength steel wire twisted according to specific rules. Its structure includes steel wire, a core, and lubricant. During manufacturing, multiple layers of steel wire are first twisted into strands, and then a certain number of strands are helically wound around the core to form a rope. Due to its high strength, light weight, and stable and reliable operation, wire rope is widely used in traction, lifting, and load-bearing operations in material handling equipment.
[0003] Finished wire ropes are usually made into large coils for easy collection. However, different applications require different specifications and lengths of wire rope coils. Therefore, manufacturers need to provide small coils of different lengths for different customers. Sometimes, a small coil may contain multiple cut wire ropes. Current production lines first release the wire ropes from the large coil, cut them after reaching a set length, and then rewind the uncoiled wire ropes into small coils. This process uses two production lines, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity. Therefore, a new wire rope cutting system is needed that can simultaneously realize wire rope release, meter measurement, cutting, and rewinding. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a wire rope slitting system.
[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A wire rope slitting system includes a wire feeding device with a wire feeding shaft rotatably coupled thereto. A wire rope mother coil is fixed to the wire feeding shaft. The wire rope drawn from the mother coil passes sequentially through a metering device and a wire laying device located in front of the wire feeding device, and then connects to a take-up device. A cutting device is located beside the wire rope between the metering device and the wire laying device. The take-up device is used to pull the wire rope forward and wind it into a wire rope coil. The metering device is used to measure the length of the wire rope wound by the take-up device. The cutting device is used to cut the wire rope. The system also includes a control box electrically connected to the take-up device and the metering device.
[0007] Preferably, the wire feeding device includes a wire reel frame with at least one coil groove, and the two ends of the wire feeding shaft are rotatably mounted in the coil groove.

[0012] Preferably, the take-up frame includes a fixed base, a support column, and an operating table. The middle part of the operating table is hinged to the top of the support column. The take-up shaft is installed at the front end of the operating table. A mounting seat is hinged to the rear side of the base. A lifting screw and a second motor that drives the lifting screw are installed on the mounting seat. The screw nut of the lifting screw is fixedly connected to the rear end of the operating table. The take-up shaft is installed on the front side of the operating table, and the first motor is fixed to the side wall of the operating table.
[0013] Preferably, the cable laying device is a manual / automatic integrated optical rod cable laying device. The optical rod of the optical rod cable laying device is located in front of the take-up shaft and is parallel to the take-up shaft.

A wire rope mother coil is fixed to the wire feeding shaft 1. The wire rope drawn from the wire rope mother coil passes sequentially through a meter counting device and a wire laying device located in front of the wire feeding device and is connected to a take-up device. A cutting device is located beside the wire rope between the meter counting device and the wire laying device. The take-up device is used to pull the wire rope forward and wind the wire rope into a wire rope coil. The meter counting device is used to measure the length of the wire rope wound by the take-up device. The cutting device is used to cut the wire rope. The system also includes a control box 18, which is electrically connected to the take-up device and the meter counting device.
[0029] The wire feeding device includes a wire reel 2, on which at least one coil groove 3 is provided (three are provided in this specific embodiment), and both ends of the wire feeding shaft 1 are rotatably installed in the coil groove 3. A brake disc 4 is installed at the end of the wire feeding shaft 1, and a brake 5 that cooperates with the brake disc 4 is installed on the wire reel 2.
[0030] The metering device includes a metering wheel 6 and a metering pressure wheel 7 located above and cooperating with the metering wheel 6.
[0031] The cutting device includes a cutting saw 9.
[0032] The take-up device includes a take-up frame, on which a take-up shaft 10 and a first motor for driving the take-up shaft 10 to rotate are mounted. The wire rope is wound around the take-up shaft 10 and is detachably connected to it. A fixing plate for fixing to the inner core side plate of the wire rope winding is fixed on the take-up shaft 10, and the end of the take-up shaft 10 away from the first motor has a fixing cap with a threaded engagement.
[0033] The take-up frame includes a fixed base 21, a support column 22, and an operating table 15. The middle part of the operating table 15 is hinged to the top of the support column 22. The take-up shaft 10 is installed at the front end of the operating table 15. A mounting base 23 is hinged to the rear side of the fixed base 21. A lifting screw 12 and a second motor that drives the lifting screw 12 are installed on the mounting base 23. The screw nut of the lifting screw 12 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the operating table 15. The take-up shaft 10 is installed on the front side of the operating table 15, and the first motor is fixed to the side wall of the operating table 15.
[0034] The cable laying device is a manual / automatic integrated optical rod cable laying device 11, model GP30, type C optical rod cable laying device. The optical rod of the optical rod cable laying device 11 is located in front of the take-up shaft and is parallel to the take-up shaft. Both ends of the optical rod are rotatably connected to the operating table 15. Sprockets are fixed on the optical rod and the take-up shaft 10, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain.
[0035] Below the take-up shaft 10, there is a rail parallel to the take-up shaft 10, and an unwinding trolley 13 that cooperates with the rail is installed on the rail.
[0036] The metering device is provided with a guide wire device on the front and rear sides, and the guide wire device includes four guide rollers 8 arranged in a grid pattern, and the steel wire rope passes through the middle of the guide wire device.
[0037] In use, place the wire rope master coil in the coil groove 3 on the wire coil frame 2, and then wrap the wire rope coil around the take-up shaft 10. When leading the wire, first pull out one end of the wire rope, first pass it through the guide roller 8 near the wire feeding device, then through the gap in the middle of the metering pressure roller 7, then through the guide roller 8 near the take-up device, then through the guide slider on the wire guide 11, and finally fix one end of the wire rope to the inner core side plate of the wire rope coil. At this time, the inner core side plate of the wire rope coil is already fixed to the fixing plate, and the installation is completed by tightening the fixing cap at the end of the take-up shaft 10 away from the first motor.
[0038] Opening the control box 18, the take-up shaft 10, driven by the first motor, rotates the wire rope reel to perform the take-up operation. Simultaneously, the guide slider on the optical shaft guide 11 reciprocates laterally on the optical shaft according to system instructions, precisely guiding the wire rope to move horizontally along the set trajectory, ensuring that each turn of wire rope is tightly fitted and evenly covers the drum surface, avoiding overlap, crossing, or gaps. The optical shaft guide 11 can be switched between manual and automatic control. Throughout the take-up process, the wire rope reel is tightly fitted to the surface of the metering wheel 6 under the action of the metering pressure wheel 7, and the metering wheel 6 measures the take-up length of the wire rope. After reaching the preset take-up length, the control box 18 controls the first motor to stop working and controls the brake disc 4 to pause the rotation of the pay-off shaft 1 via the brake 5. Then, the wire rope is cut by the cutting saw 9. After cutting, the lead-in operation is repeated to continue the above scheme.
[0039] After the wire rope is wound up, the control box 18 causes the lifting screw 12, driven by the second motor, to swing and lower the operating table 15, thereby lowering the wire rope coil on the take-up shaft 10 and completing the unloading operation. Finally, the wound wire rope coil is placed on the unloading trolley 13 under the take-up shaft 10, and the collection and transportation of the wire rope coil is completed by pulling the unloading trolley 13 along the rail.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
