Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire rope technology, and specifically to a straightening device for wire rope processing. Background Technology

[0002] After production or use, wire ropes often undergo bending deformation due to winding, stretching, and other factors, affecting their performance and lifespan. Therefore, straightening is often necessary before processing, repairing, or using wire ropes. Existing straightening devices are mostly fixed roller structures, with non-adjustable or limited adjustment ranges between the straightening rollers, making it difficult to adapt to the straightening needs of wire ropes of different diameters. Furthermore, traditional straightening devices are often single-function, typically lacking cleaning and lubrication capabilities, leaving residual oxide scale, oil, and other impurities on the surface of the straightened wire rope, affecting subsequent use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a straightening device for steel wire rope processing that has a reasonable structure, is easy to adjust, and has a good straightening effect. It can effectively adapt to steel wire ropes of different specifications and integrates a cleaning function.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a straightening device for steel wire rope processing, comprising a base, a frame, a drive motor, a transmission mechanism, and a straightening unit. The frame comprises at least two units, longitudinally arranged on the base. The straightening unit comprises at least two sets of straightening rollers arranged along the wire rope feeding direction. Its innovation lies in the following: each straightening roller set includes an upper slide, a lower slide, an upper straightening roller, a lower straightening roller, an upper roller mounting base, a lower roller mounting base, and an adjustment mechanism. The upper slide and lower slide are slidably mounted on the frame. The adjustment mechanism drives the upper slide and lower slide to move towards or away from each other. The roller shafts of the upper and lower straightening rollers are connected to the drive motor via the transmission mechanism. A cleaning box is also provided on the base at the feed end of the straightening unit. The cleaning box has a through hole, and at least one pair of cleaning brush rollers are arranged inside. The axis of the cleaning brush rollers is perpendicular to the wire rope feeding direction, and the pair of cleaning brush rollers are located on the upper and lower sides of the wire rope, respectively.

[0005] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment handle, a bidirectional lead screw, and a pair of nuts; the bidirectional lead screw is rotatably mounted on the frame, and its two ends have threads with opposite directions of rotation; the pair of nuts respectively engage with the two sections of the threads of the bidirectional lead screw, and are respectively fixedly connected to the upper slide and the lower slide.

[0006] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a belt. The driving wheel is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor, and the driven wheel is fixed on the end of the roller shaft of each straightening roller. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a belt for transmission. The drive motor is fixed on the top of the upper slide and the bottom of the lower slide.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning box is equipped with a removable dust collection hopper, which is positioned across the cleaning brush roller.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning brush roller is fixed using an elastic component.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic component is a spring.

[0010] Furthermore, a lubricant nozzle is also provided on the top of the cleaning box, and the lubricant nozzle is connected to the lubricant supply device through a pipeline.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows: This utility model is flexible in adjustment and has wide applicability. The gap between the upper and lower straightening rollers can be conveniently and accurately adjusted synchronously through the adjustment mechanism to adapt to steel wire ropes of different diameters.

[0012] This utility model integrates multiple functions to improve efficiency. A cleaning station is set up before straightening, where a brush roller effectively removes impurities such as oxide scale, dust, and oil from the surface of the wire rope. The added lubrication function reduces frictional resistance and equipment wear during straightening, while also making the wire rope surface smoother. By integrating straightening, cleaning, and lubrication, it reduces subsequent processes and improves processing efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a straightening device for wire rope processing includes a base 1, a frame 2, a drive motor 3, a transmission mechanism 4, and a straightening unit 5. The frame 2 includes at least two components, longitudinally arranged on the base 1. The straightening unit 5 includes at least two sets of straightening rollers arranged along the wire rope feeding direction. Each straightening roller set includes an upper slide 51, a lower slide 52, an upper straightening roller 53, a lower straightening roller 54, an upper roller mounting base 55, a lower roller mounting base 56, and an adjusting mechanism 6. The upper slide 51 and the lower slide 52 are slidably mounted on the base 1. On the frame 2; the adjustment mechanism 6 is used to drive the upper slide 51 and the lower slide 52 to move towards or away from each other; the roller shafts of the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54 are both connected to the drive motor 3 through the transmission mechanism 4; a cleaning box 7 is also provided on the base 1 at the feed end of the straightening unit; the cleaning box 7 is provided with a through hole 71, and at least one pair of cleaning brush rollers 72 are provided inside it. The axis of the cleaning brush rollers 72 is perpendicular to the wire rope feeding direction, and the pair of cleaning brush rollers 72 are located on the upper and lower sides of the wire rope respectively. Specifically, after the wire rope passes through the through hole 71, it passes between the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54. The upper slide block 51 and the lower slide block 52 are driven to move in opposite directions by the adjusting mechanism 6, so that the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54 clamp the wire rope. As the wire rope is conveyed, the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54 straighten the wire rope, while the cleaning brush roller 72 cleans the surface of the wire rope.

[0018] The adjusting mechanism 6 includes an adjusting handle 61, a double-acting lead screw 62, and a pair of nuts 63. The double-acting lead screw 62 is rotatably mounted on the frame 2, and its two ends have threads with opposite directions of rotation. The pair of nuts 63 respectively engage with the two ends of the double-acting lead screw 62 and are fixedly connected to the upper slide 51 and the lower slide 52, respectively. The adjusting mechanism 6 is used to control the clamping gap of the straightening rollers. When the adjusting handle 61 is rotated, the double-acting lead screw 62 rotates, driving the two nuts 63 to move the upper and lower roller mounting seats synchronously towards or away from each other, thereby changing the gap between the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54 to accommodate wire ropes of different diameters.

[0019] The transmission mechanism 4 includes a driving wheel 41, a driven wheel 42, and a belt 43. The driving wheel 41 is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor 3, and the driven wheel 42 is fixed on the end of the roller shaft of each straightening roller. The driving wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 are connected by the belt 43. The drive motor 3 is fixed on the top of the upper slide and the bottom of the lower slide. The drive motor 3 drives the upper straightening roller 53 and the lower straightening roller 54 to rotate through the driving wheel 41, the driven wheel 42, and the belt 43, respectively, to straighten the passing wire rope.

[0020] To facilitate the collection of impurities from the surface of the wire rope, a removable dust collection hopper 73 is installed inside the cleaning box 7, spanning the cleaning brush roller. The cleaned impurities fall into the removable dust collection hopper 73 at the bottom for easy centralized cleaning.

[0021] In order to enable the cleaning brush roller 72 to better adapt to steel wire ropes of different specifications, the cleaning brush roller 72 is fixed with elastic components. The elastic components enable the cleaning brush roller 72 to better fit steel wire ropes of different specifications.

[0022] The elastic component is a spring 74. One end of the spring 74 is fixed to the base of the cleaning brush roller 72, and the other end is embedded in the inner wall of the through hole 71 for fixation.

[0023] The top of the cleaning box 7 is also equipped with a lubricant nozzle 8, which is connected to a lubricant supply device (not shown in the figure) through a pipeline. It can spray a small amount of lubricant onto the surface of the passing wire rope, which can reduce frictional resistance and equipment wear during the straightening process, and at the same time make the surface of the wire rope smoother.

[0024] During operation, the bent wire rope first enters the cleaning box 7, where it is brushed by upper and lower brush rollers 72 to remove surface impurities. Subsequently, the moistened (lubricated) wire rope passes sequentially through two sets of straightening units 5. The gaps between each set of straightening rollers are pre-adjusted via the adjusting mechanism 6 according to the wire rope's diameter and degree of bending. The drive motor 2 is started, and power is transmitted to all straightening rollers via belt, causing them to rotate in the same direction, pulling and straightening the wire rope. Under the rolling action of the multiple straightening rollers, the wire rope 9 is effectively straightened and output from the discharge end.

[0025] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
