Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cable pulley group testing equipment, and in particular relates to a cable pulley group static load testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The sheave assembly is a crucial component of a cableway system, primarily used to support and guide the wire rope, ensuring smooth steering and transmission during operation. A sheave assembly typically consists of a balance beam, saddle, clamps, and multiple wheels. This structure not only needs to withstand the immense pressure from the wire rope but also maintain stability and safety under various operating conditions. Therefore, the design and manufacture of sheave assemblies must adhere to strict standards, such as GB 12352—2018 "Safety Specifications for Passenger Aerial Cableways," to ensure sufficient safety factors under different conditions such as uniform motion and wind forces. Conventional testing methods for sheave assemblies include static load testing and dynamic load testing. Static load testing involves applying vertical pressure to the sheave assembly in stages and observing its settlement or deformation over time to determine its compressive bearing capacity and structural strength. However, existing static load testing devices are generally designed for specific sheave assemblies, resulting in poor applicability and versatility. In particular, the adjustment of the mechanism for applying vertical pressure is inconvenient, affecting the test results and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0028] Preferably, the end post 3 and the fixing frame 1 form an inverted T-shape. Compared with other structures, the inverted T-shape structure has higher structural strength, which can ensure that the end post 3 is always stably fixed on the fixing frame 1, and is conducive to improving the test effect of the pressure test mechanism 7 at the end post 3.
[0029] In practical applications, the end column 3 includes a horizontal end and a vertical end. The vertical end of the end column 3 is connected to the fixed frame 1, and the horizontal end is connected to the floating beam 2 through the pressure testing mechanism 7.

Then, the thrust of the telescopic cylinder 16 is used to apply a load to the steel wire rope 23 and the pulley 24, and the load is detected by the tension and compression sensor 17 on the telescopic cylinder 16.
[0034] Furthermore, this sheave assembly 22 static load testing device can also be used for load testing of the wire rope 23. The load is applied by the thrust generated by four telescopic cylinders 16, with tension and compression sensors 17 installed on each cylinder 16. After the floating beam 2 is installed, the telescopic cylinders 16 and the tension and compression sensors 17 can be synchronized, and then the wire rope 23 is tightly wound. This is used to test the load on the wire rope 23 and multiple pulleys 24. This structure reduces reliance on manual labor, improves production efficiency, and reduces labor costs.
[0035] The test principle of this static load test device for the cable pulley assembly 22 is as follows: A pulley 24 is installed on the floating beam 2, connected to a steel wire rope 23. The load is applied by the thrust generated by four telescopic cylinders 16. Tension / compression sensors 17 are installed on the telescopic cylinders 16.

At this time, the telescopic cylinders 16 are not working, the steel wire rope 23 is not under stress, and the tension / compression sensors 17 are under tension, displaying a negative value, and the display resets to zero. The display shows a value of 0. Then, the telescopic cylinders 16 are activated to apply the load, the steel wire rope 23 begins to bear force, and the tension / compression sensors 17 gradually bear pressure, displaying a positive value. The load is continuously and slowly applied through the telescopic cylinders 16, while observing the display values. Loading is stopped when all four displayed values are not less than 14 tons, and the load is maintained for 20 minutes, thus completing the test.
[0036] This utility model discloses a static load testing device for cable pulley assemblies, which can be used to test whether the strength and stiffness of the cable pulley assemblies meet the requirements. The cable pulley assemblies are installed and fixed on the supporting columns using a crossbeam, and connected to the pulleys on the floating beam via steel wire ropes. A pressure testing mechanism can then be used to conduct static load tests on the cable pulley assemblies and steel wire ropes, effectively verifying the structural reliability of the cable pulley assemblies and steel wire ropes. Furthermore, by employing a detachable wheel frame and a slidingly adjustable gantry, this static load testing device can adapt to the testing needs of different cable pulley assemblies, exhibiting good versatility. Operators can easily adjust the positions of the wheel frame and gantry to facilitate the installation of different cable pulley assemblies, ensuring that the pressure testing mechanism on the gantry and end columns can be stably connected to the floating beam for testing, thus improving the static load testing effect and efficiency of the cable pulley assemblies.
