Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a construction device for chemical facilities, and more particularly to a device used in vertical shaft construction, specifically a wire rope guiding device for vertical shaft installation. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of shaft installation, especially in scenarios where winches are used in conjunction with wire ropes for lifting and traction to complete the installation of shaft steel structures and pipelines, the quality of the wire rope itself plays a crucial role.
[0003] Currently, in vertical shaft installation operations, the winch's wire rope is directly connected to the pulley block at the shaft opening. Furthermore, the winch system is typically lower than the shaft platform, resulting in significant dry friction between the wire rope and the platform, creating resistance in the entire transmission system. This repeated friction causes wear on the wire rope, affecting the accuracy and stability of the entire system and increasing the risk of safety hazards such as wire rope breakage.
[0004] Therefore, improvements are urgently needed to better meet the needs of construction. Utility Model Content

This device can effectively solve the problems of easy damage caused by friction between the winch wire rope and the shaft opening, as well as the unstable transmission of the wire rope causing swaying, thereby improving construction quality and ensuring construction progress.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A wire rope guiding device for installation in a vertical shaft includes two columns, arranged in parallel and spaced apart, with their lower ends fixed near the vertical shaft and a horizontal shaft between them. The horizontal shaft is a straight rod with a guide wheel installed in its middle, and its two ends are respectively connected to the columns. The guide wheel is disc-shaped and is movably connected to the horizontal shaft through a mounting hole in its center, allowing it to rotate around and move along the horizontal shaft. The outer edge of the guide wheel is groove-shaped, allowing the wire rope to be embedded in the outer edge.
[0008] Furthermore, the column is made of channel steel, and its lower end is provided with a support pad connected to it.
[0009] Furthermore, the support pad is flat, with its top surface connected to the column, and has multiple connection holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the transverse axis is a cylindrical straight rod, with both ends connected to the upper part of the column and perpendicular to the column.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a roller buckle; the roller buckle includes a body and a baffle; the body is a cylindrical shape with open ends, which can be tightly fitted into the mounting hole of the guide wheel and movably sleeved on the transverse shaft; the baffle is an annular plate shape, the outer diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the body, and its inner hole is connected to the outer edge of one end of the body.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the body is provided with a protruding key; the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a keyway; the protruding key and the keyway cooperate with each other and can be tightly connected.
[0013] Furthermore, there are multiple convex keys and keyways, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the body and the mounting hole, respectively.
[0014] Furthermore, there are two roller clips, which are respectively installed on both sides of the guide wheel.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes support rods, which are straight rods arranged horizontally between the columns, with both ends connected to the columns.
[0016] Furthermore, the support rod is located below the transverse axis and is parallel to the transverse axis.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown.
[0025] A wire rope guiding device for vertical shaft installation includes a column 5, a horizontal shaft 1, a guide wheel 3, a roller buckle 4, a support rod 8, and a support pad 6, etc.
[0026] The column 5 consists of two columns, both made of channel steel, which are arranged parallel to each other at intervals.
[0027] The transverse shaft 1 is a cylindrical straight rod, which can be made of carbon structural steel with a diameter of φ30×700mm to ensure its strength. The two ends of the transverse shaft 1 are connected to the upper part of the column 5 respectively, and are perpendicular to the column 5 to form a stable support.
[0028] The guide wheel 3 is disc-shaped with a through-hole-shaped mounting hole in the center and a groove-shaped outer edge that can embed the wire rope 2 into the outer edge.
[0029] The roller buckle 4 includes a body 41 and a baffle 43. The body 41 is a cylindrical shape with open ends. Its outer diameter is adapted to the diameter of the mounting hole, and its inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the transverse shaft 1, allowing it to be fitted into the mounting hole and movably sleeved on the transverse shaft. This enables the guide wheel 3 to be mounted on the transverse shaft 1 and to drive the guide wheel to rotate and move around the transverse shaft. Preferably, the outer periphery of the body 41 is provided with multiple protruding keys 42. At the same time, the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with multiple keyways. The protruding keys and keyways correspond to each other and are tightly connected by an interference fit, ensuring that the roller buckle is tightly connected to the guide wheel.
[0030] The baffle 43 is an annular plate with an outer diameter larger than that of the body 41. Its inner hole is connected to the outer edge of one end of the body 41, so that it can abut against the outer edge of the mounting hole for easy installation.
[0031] There are two roller clips 4, which are respectively installed on both sides of the guide wheel 3 to make the rotation and movement of the guide wheel more stable.
[0032] The support plate 6 is a rectangular flat plate, with its top surface connected to the column 5, and a connecting hole 7 at each of its four corners. The connecting hole 7 is a bolt hole, so that the support plate can be fixed to the ground near the shaft by installing and tightening bolts, thereby stabilizing the column.
[0033] The support rod 8 is a straight rod and can be made of channel steel. Its two ends are connected to the column 5 and are located below the horizontal axis 1 and parallel to the horizontal axis 1, so as to reduce the deformation caused by the vertical force on the axial pressure and improve the compressive strength of the entire device.
[0034] In use, install this device on the ground near the shaft, ensuring the guide wheel is higher than the shaft opening. Then, embed the winch wire rope in the shaft into the grooved outer edge of the guide wheel, causing the guide wheel to rotate with the movement of the wire rope and move along the transverse axis with the swing of the wire rope. This effectively avoids friction between the wire rope and the shaft opening, reduces wire rope wear, and eliminates the swaying caused by friction, creating favorable conditions for improving construction quality and ensuring construction progress.
[0035] The parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.
