Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cableway freight connection technology, and in particular to a connecting device. Background Technology

[0002] In freight transport systems composed of multiple cableway segments, the current common operating method is as follows: after goods are transported from the first cableway segment to its end, operators must manually unload the goods from the hoisting device of the current cableway, and then use manpower or auxiliary equipment to move them to the starting position of the adjacent next cableway segment for re-suspension and securing before the next cableway segment can be started to continue transport. This operating mode suffers from cumbersome procedures and low work efficiency. Goods must undergo a cycle of stopping-unloading-moving-re-suspension-starting at the end of each cableway segment, which not only prolongs the overall transport time but also prevents the transport process from being continuous, severely restricting the improvement of transport efficiency.

[0003] The unloading, handling, and loading processes are highly dependent on manual operation. Especially in the case of heavy cargo or high-frequency transportation, the physical requirements for operators are extremely high, which can easily lead to worker fatigue, increase the possibility of cargo being damaged by collisions or falls, and also increase the safety risks for the operators themselves. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, high safety risks and increased operating costs caused by the need for manual unloading, handling and re-suspension of multiple cableway transfer nodes in the prior art. Therefore, a connecting device is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A connecting device includes a cableway circulation system, the cableway circulation system including a traction cable and a load-bearing cable, the load-bearing cable including an upper load-bearing cable and a lower load-bearing cable, and a connecting component is provided between the upper load-bearing cable and the lower load-bearing cable for seamless sliding transport of goods between the upper load-bearing cable and the lower load-bearing cable; The connecting assembly includes a sliding part and a supporting part. The sliding part is used to guide the sliding direction of the goods, and the supporting part is used to maintain the position of the sliding part.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sliding part includes an inner connecting steel wire rope and an outer sliding steel pipe. The outer sliding steel pipe is curved to smoothly guide the movement path of the goods. The end of the curved section of the outer sliding steel pipe is slightly higher than the height of the two stationary cableways at different heights to facilitate a smooth transition of the pulley assembly.

[0007] In some embodiments, the length of the inner connecting wire rope is shorter than that of the outer sliding steel pipe; the two ends of the outer sliding steel pipe are cut at an angle and gradually become thinner, which is used to cover the inner connecting wire rope to reduce the resistance and wear when the pulley assembly slides.

[0008] In some embodiments, the support includes a fixed steel wire rope for fixing the sliding part between two adjacent sections of the load-bearing cable.

[0009] In some embodiments, the pulley assembly has a hook at the bottom for lifting goods, and a chain and a rope clamp on the pulley assembly. The rope clamp is used to lock and fix the pulley assembly to the traction cable, and the chain compensates for the distance between the traction cable and the load-bearing cable.

[0010] In some embodiments, the outer sliding steel pipe is provided with a resistance mechanism for buffering the downward sliding speed of the goods, and the resistance mechanism includes a protrusion provided on the top of the outer sliding steel pipe.

[0011] In some embodiments, the resistance mechanism further includes a support portion disposed below the outer sliding steel pipe, the support portion being provided with an adjustment component for adjusting the height of the protrusion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly includes an internally threaded cylinder, a screw, a support plate, and a support column that extends upward through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the protrusion, with the screw nut located below the support plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a connecting device with the following advantages.

[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting a connecting component between the upper and lower load-bearing cables, provides a continuous transition track for the goods through a sliding part. After the goods reach the end of a load-bearing cable section, there is no need for a series of cumbersome operations such as unloading, ground handling, and re-suspension. Only manual assistance is required to push the connecting component in, and the goods can slide to the load-bearing cable of the next section of the cableway by gravity. Compared with the prior art, there is no need to interrupt the operation during the transportation of goods, so that the transfer process can be continuous, greatly shortening the transfer time and significantly improving the overall transportation efficiency.

[0015] 2. This utility model fundamentally reduces the high-intensity manual handling and repetitive hanging operations. Operators only need to perform simple detachment-push-connection operations at the transfer point, which greatly reduces labor intensity. This device reduces the number of operators required at the transfer point, helps to reduce labor costs, and is conducive to promotion and application.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows; and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description; or may be taught from practice of this invention.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A connecting device includes at least two cableway circulation systems, each cableway circulation system including a traction cable and a load-bearing cable. The traction cable remains movable when activated, and the load-bearing cable corresponds to the traction cable but remains fixed. The load-bearing cables in two adjacent cableway circulation systems are designated as upper load-bearing cable 1 and lower load-bearing cable 2, and the upper traction cable and lower traction cable correspond to the upper load-bearing cable 1 and lower load-bearing cable 2, respectively.

[0028] A connecting component 3 is provided between the upper support cable 1 and the lower support cable 2. The connecting component 3 is used for seamless sliding transportation of goods between the upper support cable 1 and the lower support cable 2. The connecting component 3 includes a sliding part 301 and a supporting part 302. The sliding part 301 is used to guide the sliding direction of the goods, and the supporting part 302 is used to keep the position of the sliding part 301 stable.

[0029] Specifically, the sliding section 301 includes an inner connecting steel wire rope 3011 and an outer sliding steel pipe 3012. The outer sliding steel pipe 3012 is curved, and the end of the curved section of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 is slightly higher than the height of the two stationary cableways at different heights, so as to facilitate smooth transition of the pulleys and reduce the speed when the goods slide from a high place to a low place.

[0030] The inner connecting wire rope 3011 is shorter than the outer sliding steel pipe 3012; both ends of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 are cut at an angle and gradually become thinner, and are used to cover the inner connecting wire rope 3011. The two ends of the inner connecting wire rope 3011 are rigidly connected to the fixing point at the end of the upper bearing cable 1 and the fixing point at the beginning of the lower bearing cable 2, respectively, through rope clamps.

[0031] The support part 302 includes a fixed steel wire rope 3021, which is used to fix the sliding part 301 to the two adjacent sections of the bearing cable, thereby providing positioning constraints for the connecting assembly 3.

[0032] The beveled opening of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 allows it to tightly wrap around the inner connecting steel wire rope 3011, thereby reducing resistance and wear during sliding.

[0033] The upper support cable 1 is equipped with a pulley assembly. The pulley assembly is located on the upper support cable 1. A hook is provided at the bottom of the pulley assembly for lifting goods. The pulley assembly is equipped with a chain rope and a rope clamp. The rope clamp is used to lock and fix with the traction cable, and the chain rope is used to compensate for the distance between the traction cable and the support cable.

[0034] In use, the goods are suspended at the bottom of the hook of the pulley assembly. The pulley assembly on the upper support cable 1 is locked and fixed to the corresponding upper traction cable of the upper support cable 1 through the chain rope and rope clamp. When the upper traction cable is started, the upper traction cable pulls the pulley assembly and the goods synchronously along the upper support cable 1 through the chain rope and rope clamp, that is, from the head of the upper support cable 1 to the tail of the upper support cable 1. When the goods reach the tail of the upper support cable 1, both the upper traction cable and the lower traction cable stop. Then the rope clamp is disengaged from the upper traction cable, and the upper traction cable no longer pulls the upper support cable 1. Then, the goods are pushed by the manual pulley assembly on the upper support cable 1, so that the pulley assembly moves to the outer sliding steel pipe 3012, and then slides along the curved guide of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 to the head of the lower support cable 2 located below. Then the rope clamp on the pulley assembly is locked and fixed to the lower traction cable. At this time, the lower traction cable is started. The lower traction cable pulls the pulley assembly and the goods along the lower support cable 2 to continue to move to the tail of the lower support cable 2 through the chain rope and rope clamp. The above completes the transport of goods to the next stage.

[0035] By adopting the above scheme, the traction cable drives the goods to move through the pulley assembly. When the goods move to the end of the carrying cable, there is no need to unload the goods and move them to the next section of the carrying cable and re-suspend them before continuing to transport them. The goods can be transferred directly by sliding the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 of the connecting component 3 downwards. This reduces the number of personnel required for the transfer of goods between the upper carrying cable 1 and the lower carrying cable 2, while improving the efficiency of the goods transfer and reducing the labor intensity.

[0036] Example 2 See Figure 3-4 The outer sliding steel pipe 3012 is provided with a resistance mechanism 4. The resistance mechanism 4 includes a protrusion 401 located at the top of the curved section of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012, which is used to buffer the downward sliding speed of the goods. Specifically, when the pulley assembly is pushed to the protrusion 401, it needs to overcome its resistance to pass through. In this way, part of the kinetic energy of the pulley assembly is converted into potential energy and dissipated, achieving effective buffering and reducing its subsequent downward speed. This can prevent the goods from impacting the load-bearing cable 2 at the end of the sliding track at excessive speed.

[0037] As an optional solution, the protrusions 401 are arranged in groups, with each group including two protrusions 401. The area between two adjacent protrusions 401 forms a limiting area for the pulley assembly, creating a temporary parking point. An additional thrust is required for the pulley assembly to pass the second protrusion 401 and continue moving forward. During use, the two protrusions 401 can be positioned at the bottom of the curved section of the outer sliding steel pipe 3012. When the pulley drives the goods downwards, the protrusions 401 not only slow down the movement but also allow the goods to be precisely stopped in the limiting area. This frees up both hands to connect the rope clamps on the pulley assembly to the lower traction cable without worrying about the goods sliding away automatically due to their own weight or inertia, thus improving operational convenience and safety.

[0038] Example 3 See Figures 5-8 This embodiment further defines the above embodiment. The resistance mechanism 4 also includes a support portion 402 located below the outer sliding steel pipe 3012. The support portion 402 includes a support plate 4021. An adjustment component 403 is provided on the support plate 4021 for adjusting the height of the protrusion 401. The support plate 4021 is fixedly connected to the outer sliding steel pipe 3012 via a connecting plate 4022. The adjustment component 403 includes an internally threaded cylinder 4031 located in the middle of the support plate 4021, a screw 4033, a support plate 4032, and an upward-through-the-support-plate 4021 and a connection to the protrusion 401. 1. The fixedly connected support column 4034 and the nut of the screw 4033 are located below the support plate 4032. When transporting heavy goods, the screw 4033 can be turned in the forward direction to move upward under the action of the screw 4033 and the internal threaded cylinder 4031. The nut at the bottom of the screw 4033 supports the support plate 4032 and the protrusion 401 to move upward. The height of the protrusion 401 is increased to increase the resistance to the pulley assembly and prevent excessive speed. When transporting light goods, the protrusion 401 can be lowered by turning the screw 4033 in the reverse direction to reduce unnecessary operating effort.
