Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope braking technology, specifically a high-safety wire rope brake. Background Technology

[0002] A wire rope brake is a mechanical safety device specifically designed to control the movement of a wire rope. Its core function is to apply controllable power to the moving wire rope to achieve deceleration, stopping, or maintaining a stationary state. This device is widely used in environments such as mines and elevators. When the traction wire rope breaks, it is a safety protection device that reacts quickly and captures the wire rope in time to reduce failure losses and personnel injuries.

[0003] Although the existing wire rope brake has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: the active thrust of the electric actuator is converted through two stages of S-shaped connecting rod and straight connecting rod, resulting in high mechanical energy loss and low transmission efficiency, which leads to a delayed response of the braking component. Secondly, the lack of a backstop component means that when the brake is de-energized, the electric actuator fails its self-locking mechanism, causing the brake block to unexpectedly retract and resulting in brake failure on the wire rope. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

The single-stage transmission efficiency is effectively improved, and the response time of the braking component is effectively shortened. At the same time, a ratchet-spring self-locking component is integrated. When the brake power is interrupted, the spring-driven locking block is embedded in the ratchet groove to limit and prevent the main helical gear from retracting, effectively preventing the brake block from retracting and eliminating the risk of brake failure when the power is off.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This utility model provides an overall structural diagram of an embodiment of a high-safety wire rope brake, including:

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment of a high-safety wire rope brake includes a support plate 100, a transmission assembly 200 provided on the side wall of the support plate 100, the transmission assembly 200 including a main helical gear 220 and a driven helical gear 230, a backstop assembly 300 provided on the side wall of the main helical gear 220, the backstop assembly 300 including a ratchet 310 and a locking block 320, and a braking assembly 400 provided on the side wall of the support plate 100, the braking assembly 400 including a braking block 450.

[0035] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the installation of the wire rope brake, specifically, the support plate 100 has a housing 120 fixedly connected to its side wall by screws. The housing 120 is used to protect the transmission component 200. The support plate 100 has a mounting base 110 welded to its side wall to facilitate the installation and fixing of the brake. The mounting base 110 has multiple mounting feet integrally formed on its side wall to facilitate bolt fixing installation.

[0036] Next, to facilitate the transmission assembly 200 driving the braking assembly 400, specifically, the transmission assembly 200 includes an electric push rod 210 for providing active mechanical energy. A connecting block 211 is welded to the outer circumference of the output end of the electric push rod 210, and multiple helical teeth are welded to the side wall of the connecting block 211 to facilitate driving the main helical gear 220 to rotate. The side wall of the helical teeth meshes with the main helical gear 220, and the outer circumference of the main helical gear 220 meshes with the driven helical gear 230 to drive the eccentric wheel 410 to rotate.

[0037] Meanwhile, in order to prevent the main helical gear 220 from turning back, specifically, the anti-reverse assembly 300 includes a limit frame 340. A spring 330 is welded to the inner side wall of the limit frame 340 to provide continuous thrust to the locking block 320. The locking block 320 is welded to the top of the spring 330 to limit and fix the ratchet 310. The top of the locking block 320 is in close contact with the ratchet 310.

[0038] Furthermore, to facilitate braking of the wire rope 130, the braking assembly 400 includes an eccentric wheel 410, a rotating shaft 420 inserted into the side wall of the eccentric wheel 410, the side wall of the rotating shaft 420 passing through the support plate 100 and welded to the helical gear 230, a connecting rod 430 rotatably connected to the side wall of the eccentric wheel 410 for driving the eccentric wheel 410, a hinge seat 440 rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 430 for converting rotational motion into lateral movement, and a brake block 450 welded to the side wall of the hinge seat 440 for braking the wire rope 130.

[0039] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the sliding of the brake block 450, the side wall of the support plate 100 is provided with multiple grooves, and the side wall of the brake block 450 is welded with sliders that match the shape and size of the grooves, so as to facilitate the sliding support of the brake block 450.

[0040] Finally, in order to improve the clamping force of the brake block 450, specifically, the brake block 450 includes a support frame 451, and a disc spring assembly 452 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 451 by bolts. The disc spring assembly 452 is pre-tightened to provide continuous thrust to the clamping block 453. The side wall of the support frame 451 is in close contact with the clamping block 453, and the side wall of the clamping block 453 has multiple circular insertion holes to facilitate the installation of the disc spring assembly 452.

[0041] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.

[0042] Combination Figures 1-5 The specific usage process of this embodiment of a high-safety wire rope brake is as follows:

[0043] 1: Install the brake in the designated position using bolts via the mounting bracket 110, and thread the wire rope 130 between the two brake blocks 450;

[0044] 2: When the wire rope 130 breaks, the wire rope 130 is out of the detection range of the electromagnetic sensor used to detect the position of the wire rope 130. At this time, the electromagnetic sensor sends a fault signal to the PLC. After receiving the fault signal, the PLC sends a signal to the electric push rod 210, causing its top output end to extend. Then the connecting block 211 drives the helical gear block to rise vertically. The helical gear block drives the main helical gear 220 to rotate. The main helical gear 220 drives the driven helical gear 230 to rotate. Then the driven helical gear 230 drives the eccentric wheel 410 to rotate through the rotating shaft 420.

[0045] 3: After the eccentric wheel 410 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 430 to move. The connecting rod 430, together with the hinge seat 440, drives the brake block 450 to move laterally. Then, the two brake blocks 450 clamp inward to brake the wire rope 130. At the same time, the clamp block 320 fixes the ratchet 310 due to the continuous thrust of the spring 330, so as to prevent the brake block 450 from moving in the opposite direction and causing the brake to fail.

[0046] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
