Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cableway transportation, and in particular to a bamboo material collection and transportation equipment and cableway support components. Background Technology
[0002] my country has a large bamboo forest area and abundant resources, but most of them are distributed in mountainous and hilly areas. Due to geographical conditions and the lagging construction of forest access roads, traditional manual transportation is labor-intensive, inefficient, and has reduced economic benefits, leading to many places abandoning the management and logging of bamboo forests, thus wasting bamboo forest resources. In one type of cableway transportation, the pulley's rotation plane is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the pulley's rotation axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wire rope. This means the wire rope's direction of travel lies within the pulley's rotation plane. This allows the pulley's groove to support the wire rope while minimizing interference from the pulley's outer circumference when the load-bearing hooks on the wire rope pass through it. However, when transporting bamboo in steep hilly terrain, the cableway wire rope undulates with the terrain, causing an angle between the wire rope and the pulley's rotation plane. This results in abnormal friction between the wire rope and the pulley groove edge, potentially causing the rope to detach from the groove. This leads to cableway instability, accelerated wire rope wear, shortened equipment lifespan, and increased bamboo transportation costs. Therefore, designing bamboo transport equipment and cableway support components to improve the smoothness of cableway transportation, extend its lifespan, and reduce the cost of bamboo transportation is particularly urgent.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0005] This utility model provides a cableway support component, comprising:
[0006] Support components, wheel system mounting plate, and pulley block;
[0007] The pulleys in the pulley block are rotatably mounted on the wheel system mounting plate;
[0008] The support member is hinged to the wheel system mounting plate via a hinge assembly, causing the wheel system mounting plate to swing, and the rotation axis of the pulley is perpendicular to the rotation axis around which the wheel system mounting plate swings.
[0009] Furthermore, the hinge assembly includes at least two connection nodes with spherical bearings, each node comprising a spherical bearing fixed to one of the support member or the wheel train mounting plate, and a movable shaft fixed to the other and cooperating with the spherical bearing.
[0010] All the aforementioned active axes are coplanar and parallel.
[0011] Furthermore, the pulleys in the pulley block include two cableway support pulleys and a tension pulley, the tension pulley pressing the wire rope between the two cableway support pulleys to form a curved path for the wire rope.
[0012] Furthermore, on the side of the tensioning wheel away from the wheel system mounting plate, there is a gear that rotates independently relative to the tensioning wheel. The gear is used to guide the hook attached to the wire rope through the tensioning wheel, and the root circle diameter of the gear is larger than the outer diameter of the tensioning wheel.
[0013] Furthermore, the support member is equipped with a locking clamp, which is fixedly connected to the support column by bolts.
[0014] Furthermore, the axis around which the wheel mounting plate swings is perpendicular to the axis of the support column.
[0015] This utility model also provides a bamboo material collection and transportation equipment, including a main unit, steel wire rope, support column and the above-mentioned cableway support components;
[0016] The main unit is equipped with a power unit and a circulation drive unit. The power unit drives the circulation drive unit to drive the wire rope to circulate.
[0017] The cableway support component is installed on the support column;
[0018] The steel wire rope is wound around the pulley and the circulating drive device, forming a closed loop for cyclic operation.

[0024] Furthermore, the main equipment includes a chassis, which is equipped with tracks or wheels;

[0026] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:
[0027] This utility model discloses a bamboo material collection and transportation equipment and a cableway support component. By hinged a wheel system mounting plate to the support component, the hinge assembly allows the wheel system mounting plate to swing. The rotation axis of the pulleys on the wheel system mounting plate is always perpendicular to the rotation axis around which the wheel system mounting plate swings. In cableway transportation, when the cableway's wire rope travels horizontally, the plane of rotation of the pulleys is parallel to the horizontal plane. At this time, the wire rope is supported by the side wall of the pulley groove. When the wire rope undulates with the terrain, it will form an angle with the horizontal plane. The wheel system mounting plate swings with the wire rope, causing the plane of rotation of the pulleys to also form an angle with the horizontal plane, ensuring that the direction of the wire rope's travel is within the plane of the pulley's rotation. This allows the wire rope to be securely embedded in the pulley groove, reducing friction between the wire rope and the outer edge of the pulley groove, making the cableway operation smoother and extending the service life of the cableway transportation equipment. The bamboo material collection and transportation equipment using the above-mentioned cableway support component achieves the same effect. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0040] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cableway support component to solve the problems existing in the prior art, effectively improve the smoothness of cableway transportation equipment and extend its service life.
[0041] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a cableway support component, including a support member 36, a wheel system mounting plate 34, and a pulley block; wherein the pulleys in the pulley block are rotatably mounted on the wheel system mounting plate 34; the support member 36 is hinged to the wheel system mounting plate 34 through a hinge assembly, so that the wheel system mounting plate 34 can swing, and the rotation axis 38 of the pulley's rotation is perpendicular to the rotation axis around which the wheel system mounting plate 34 swings.
[0043] If the hinge assembly is a single-axis hinge, such as a door or window hinge, then the axis of rotation around which the wheel mounting plate 34 swings is the hinge axis. If the hinge assembly is a multi-axis hinge, and the hinge axes are parallel to each other, then the axis of rotation around which the wheel mounting plate 34 swings is an axis parallel to the hinge axis, or it may be the hinge axis itself. Of course, the hinge assembly can also be a hinge form composed of multiple joint bearings. The hinge assembly is not limited to the above types, as long as it can make all points on the wheel mounting plate 34 swing within their respective fixed planes when swinging.
[0044] By hinged to the support member 36, the wheel system mounting plate 34 is allowed to swing. The rotation axis 38 of the pulleys on the wheel system mounting plate 34 is always perpendicular to the axis around which the wheel system mounting plate 34 swings. In a cableway transportation system, when the cableway's wire rope 3 travels horizontally, the plane of rotation of the pulleys in the pulley block is parallel to the horizontal plane. At this time, the wire rope 3 is supported by the sidewalls of the pulley grooves. However, when the wire rope 3 undulates with the terrain, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the wire rope 3 will form an angle with the horizontal plane. At this time, the wheel mounting plate 34 swings with the wire rope 3, causing the pulley rotation plane to also form an angle with the horizontal plane. This ensures that the walking direction of the wire rope 3 is within the plane of pulley rotation, so that the wire rope 3 is stably embedded in the pulley groove. This reduces the friction between the wire rope 3 and the outer edge of the pulley groove, making the cableway run more smoothly and extending the service life of the cableway transportation equipment.
[0045] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hinge assembly includes at least two connection nodes with spherical bearings 35. Each node includes a spherical bearing 35 fixed to one of the support member 36 or the wheel system mounting plate 34, and a movable shaft 37 fixed to the other and cooperating with the spherical bearing 35. All movable shafts 37 are coplanar and parallel. The accompanying drawings of this embodiment only show one type of hinge, which includes two spherical bearings 35 fixed to the support member 36 and two movable shafts 37 fixed to the wheel system mounting plate 34 and cooperating with the spherical bearings 35. The two movable shafts 37 are coplanar and parallel. At this time, the axis of rotation around which the wheel system mounting plate 34 swings is the line connecting the centers of the two spherical bearings 35, and the rotation axis 38 of the pulley is perpendicular to this axis of rotation. The hinge method using spherical bearings 35 gives the hinge assembly better radial and axial load-bearing capacity and makes it less prone to wear, effectively improving the smoothness and service life of the cableway support component 2. Of course, the hinge assembly can also use a pin or other hinge method, but its smoothness and load-bearing capacity are lower.
[0046] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the pulley system includes two cableway support pulleys 32 and one tension pulley 33. The wire rope 3 is located in the grooves of the cableway support pulleys 32 and the tension pulley 33, and the cableway support pulleys 32 and the tension pulley 33 are located on both sides of the wire rope 3. The tension pulley 33 presses the wire rope 3 between the two cableway support pulleys 32 to make the wire rope 3 form a bending path. When the wire rope 3 loosens, there are grooves on both sides to support it and prevent the wire rope 3 from coming out of the grooves.
[0047] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, on the side of the tensioning pulley 33 away from the pulley system mounting plate 34, a gear 331 is coaxially arranged that rotates independently relative to the tensioning pulley 33. The root circle diameter of the gear 331 is larger than the outer diameter of the tensioning pulley 33. The gear 331 is used to guide the hook-on piece attached to the wire rope 3 through the tensioning pulley 33. When guiding it through, the hook-on piece is confined in the gear 331 and follows the rotation of the gear 331, effectively avoiding direct contact between the hook-on piece and the tensioning pulley 33 and thus preventing wear. This effectively improves the service life of the hook-on piece. At the same time, since the outer diameter of the gear 331 is larger than the outer diameter of the tensioning pulley 33, the gear 331 provides support for the loose wire rope 3, preventing the wire rope 3 from falling off the pulley system when it becomes loose.
[0048] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figure 1 As shown, a locking clamp 31 is provided on the support member 36. The locking clamp 31 is fixedly connected to the support column 4 by bolts. The support column 4 can be made of raw bamboo, raw wood, or other components that can provide fixed support. The locking clamp 31 is used to fix the cableway support component 2. The axis of rotation around which the wheel system mounting plate 34 swings is perpendicular to the axis of the support column 4, ensuring that the swing direction is consistent with the undulation direction of the wire rope after installation.
[0049] This utility model also provides a bamboo material collection and transportation equipment, such as... Figures 5-9 As shown, it includes main equipment 1, wire rope 3, support column 4 and the aforementioned cableway support component 2;
[0050] The main equipment 1 is equipped with a power unit 101 and a circulating drive unit 11. The power unit 101 is the engine or electric motor of the main equipment 1. The power unit 101 is used to drive the circulating drive unit 11, which drives the wire rope 3 to circulate. The cableway support component 2 is installed on the support column 4. The wire rope 3 is wound around the pulley and the circulating drive unit 11 to form a closed loop of circulatory operation.
[0051] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figures 7-9As shown, the circulating drive device 11 includes a support frame 110, and a drive roller 114 and a driven roller 116 arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart vertically on the support frame 110. The wire rope 3 is wound on the drive roller 114 and the driven roller 116. The drive roller 114 and the driven roller 116 are spaced apart to facilitate separating the wire rope 3 entering and exiting the circulating drive device 11 by a certain distance and to prevent the wire rope 3 from tangling and knotting.
[0052] The drive roller 114 has a second sprocket 118 fixed on its shaft, and the driven roller 116 has a first sprocket 117 fixed on its shaft. The first sprocket 117 and the second sprocket 118 are connected by a chain, so that the drive roller 114 is connected to the driven roller 116 by the chain. The circulating drive device 11 is also equipped with a sprocket cover 115 to protect the first sprocket 117, the second sprocket 118 and the chain. Both the drive roller 114 and the driven roller 116 drive the wire rope 3 to move, which effectively prevents the wire rope 3 from slipping and makes the bamboo material collection and transportation equipment run more stably.
[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the power unit 101 drives the drive roller 114 to rotate through a reduction mechanism mounted on the support frame 110. The reduction mechanism is a speed reducer 111. The power unit 101 and the speed reducer 111 are connected by a belt and an intermediate connecting device 12. The intermediate connecting device 12 includes a pulley mounting bracket 120 fixed to the chassis 10. A first pulley 121 and a second pulley 122, which rotate coaxially, are mounted on the pulley mounting bracket 120. The power unit 101 is connected to the first pulley 121 via a belt, and the input shaft of the speed reducer 111 is connected to the second pulley 122 via a belt. Figure 7 As shown, a first gear 112 is provided on the output shaft of the reducer 111, and a second gear 113 that meshes with the first gear 112 is provided on the rotating shaft of the drive roller 114. The reducer 111 and the drive roller 114 are connected by transmission through the first gear 112 and the second gear 113.
[0054] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bamboo material collection and transportation equipment also includes a hanging component. In this embodiment, the hanging component is a bamboo hanging part 5. One end of the bamboo hanging part 5 is sleeved on the steel wire rope 3, and the other end is used to hang bamboo. A stop 6 is provided on the steel wire rope 3 to limit the bamboo hanging part 5 and prevent the bamboo hanging part 5 from sliding relative to the steel wire rope 3.
[0055] As an example of an implementable approach, such as Figure 6 As shown, the main equipment 1 also includes a walking chassis 10, which is equipped with tracks or wheels for easy movement.
[0056] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
