[0015] 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.
[0016] Example 1 Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a micro switch structure for detecting broken wire ropes, comprising: a mounting bracket 1, a tensioning rod 2 inside the mounting bracket 1, a switch bracket 3 outside the tensioning rod 2, a micro switch 4 fixedly connected to the switch bracket 3, a triggering component 5 outside the micro switch 4, the triggering component 5 triggering the micro switch 4 to transmit a signal, a movable component 6 outside the tensioning rod 2, the movable component 6 transmitting the movement of the tensioning rod 2 to the triggering component 5, and an auxiliary component 7 below the movable component 6 assisting in triggering the micro switch 4. The mounting bracket 1 is made of high-strength steel plate, which can ensure the overall structural stability and sufficient load-bearing capacity. The tensioning rod 2 can slide smoothly up and down along the pre-set guide hole or guide sleeve of the mounting bracket 1 to sensitively respond to changes in wire rope tension. The switch bracket 3 provides a stable and precise installation reference for the micro switch 4. The micro switch 4 has an IP65 or higher protection rating, which can effectively adapt to harsh industrial environments such as dust and humidity. Triggering component 5 can efficiently and accurately convert external mechanical displacement into electrical signals and trigger micro switch 4 to send a detection signal to the electrical control box, thereby achieving the purpose of rope breakage detection. Movable component 6 can accurately transmit the displacement of tension rod 2 to triggering component 5, so that triggering component 5 triggers micro switch 4 to respond. Auxiliary component 7 can provide forced and redundant triggering force when the main triggering path fails due to jamming or wear, so as to ensure accurate response of the detection function.
[0017] The active component 6 includes a slack rope detection plate 61 slidably connected to the tensioning rod 2. A hexagonal nut 62 is located below the slack rope detection plate 61, and the hexagonal nut 62 is threadedly connected to the tensioning rod 2. The slack rope detection plate 61 is slidably connected to the tensioning rod 2 via a bushing or linear bearing to reduce friction and ensure smooth movement. The slack rope detection plate 61 is made of wear-resistant metal sheet, which effectively increases structural strength. The hexagonal nut 62, through its threaded engagement with the tensioning rod 2, can adjust the initial height of the slack rope detection plate 61 to accommodate different specifications of wire rope and equipment installation gaps, precisely set the trigger threshold, and also axially limit the slack rope detection plate 61 to prevent it from sliding freely due to vibration, ensuring stable detection position. Simultaneously, it can be used with anti-loosening washers and other components to resist nut loosening caused by industrial equipment vibration, preventing detection link failure, and ultimately providing a basic guarantee for timely and accurate detection of rope breakage. In use, under normal tension of the wire rope, the tensioning rod 2 is lifted to a stable position under the tension of the wire rope. At this time, the micro switch 4 maintains a normal signal. When the wire rope breaks or becomes slack, the tensioning rod 2 falls, causing the slack detection plate 61 to fall, thereby triggering the triggering component 5 and sending a detection signal to the electrical control box.
[0018] The trigger assembly 5 includes a pull rod 51 fixedly connected to the slack rope detection pressure plate 61. A movable rod 52 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rod 51. A rotating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the middle of the movable rod 52. A first spring 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 52 away from the pull rod 51. The other end of the first spring 54 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner wall of the micro switch 4. A movable block 55 is provided on the side of the pull rod 51 away from the first spring 54. A trigger block 56 is provided on the side of the movable block 55 away from the movable rod 52. The trigger block 56 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner wall of the micro switch 4. The movable rod 52 is a rigid metal movable rod. The other end of the rotating rod 53 is connected to the housing or internal fixed fulcrum of the micro switch 4, thus forming a lever mechanism to amplify the minute displacement of the slack rope detection pressure plate 61, significantly improving the trigger sensitivity. The first spring 54 is made of a highly elastic and long-fatigue-life material, providing a reset function after triggering. Rapid switching of the circuit is achieved through the contact between the movable block 55 and the trigger block 56, thus triggering the signal. In normal use, the tension of the wire rope causes the slack detection pressure plate 61 to lift, and the pull rod 51 causes the movable rod 52 to rotate around the rotating rod 53 as the fulcrum. At this time, the movable block 55 and the trigger block 56 remain separated, and the micro switch 4 outputs a normal signal. When the wire rope breaks or slackens, the pressure plate falls, causing the pull rod 51 to move downward, thereby causing the movable block 55 to move upward under the action of the lever and contact the trigger block 56, thus responding to the signal and transmitting the signal. After the triggering is completed, the first spring 54 resets and pulls the movable block 55 away from the trigger block 56, completing the precise conversion from mechanical action to electrical signal and realizing the signal switching.
[0019] The auxiliary component 7 includes a pin 71 fixedly connected to the slack rope detection plate 61. A second spring 72 is fixedly connected to one end of the pin 71 away from the microswitch 4, and a spring mounting plate 73 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second spring 72. The pin 71 is made of high-strength steel, and its interference fit with the slack rope detection plate 61 ensures strong connection. The second spring 72 is made of high-strength alloy spring steel and provides a strong and reliable triggering force. The spring mounting plate 73 provides solid support and installation space for the second spring 72. When the slack rope detection plate 61 cannot fall freely due to prolonged contact with the welding frame, the tensile force of the second spring 72 pulls the pin 71, overcoming the jamming resistance of the slack rope detection plate 61 through forced tension, thereby causing the slack rope detection plate 61 to move downwards. This movement is then transmitted to the trigger component 5 to trigger the signal, forming a secondary backup after the main trigger fails, ensuring no rope breakage is missed.
[0020] The spring mounting plate 73 is provided with mounting holes 8. The design of mounting holes 8 allows for fine adjustment of the position of the spring mounting plate 73 during installation and debugging, thereby accurately setting the initial preload of the second spring 72 and ensuring its reliable operation under preset triggering conditions.
[0021] The second spring 72 is fitted with a spring guard tube 9 on its outer side, and the second spring 72 is in a stretched state after installation. The second spring 72 is a precision compression spring with high dimensional accuracy and stable elastic coefficient. The spring guard tube 9 is made of metal or wear-resistant plastic, which effectively prevents the spring from bending, twisting or interfering with other components during the stretching and contraction process, thereby ensuring its long-term working stability and service life. The second spring 72 is in a pre-stretched state after installation to provide sufficient initial tension to ensure that when the slack rope detection pressure plate 61 cannot fall smoothly due to prolonged contact with the welding frame and fails to detect the signal of the tension rod 2 falling, sufficient tension is provided to re-detect and provide feedback.
[0022] The switch bracket 3 has an oblong hole 10. The oblong hole 10 allows for fine adjustment of the horizontal or vertical position of the micro switch 4 during installation and debugging. This enables precise calibration of the relative position of the micro switch 4 and the trigger block 56 in the moving component 6, ensuring accurate triggering and eliminating inaccurate detection caused by manufacturing and installation errors.
[0023] When the entire system is in normal operation, the mounting bracket 1 provides a stable foundation, and the tension of the wire rope pulls the tensioning rod 2 upward. At this time, the movable block 55 of the triggering component 5 separates from the trigger block 56, and the micro switch 4 outputs a normal signal. Meanwhile, the auxiliary component 7 is in a standby state. When the wire rope breaks or slackens, the tensioning rod 2 loses its force and falls, causing the slack rope detection pressure plate 61 to move downward synchronously. This causes the triggering component 5 to move through a lever motion, causing the movable block 55 to press against the trigger block 56, thereby triggering a signal. If the slack rope detection pressure plate 61 becomes stuck and fails, the second spring 72 of the auxiliary component 7 generates a forced pulling force through the pin 71, overcoming the stuck resistance and causing the slack rope detection pressure plate 61 to move and trigger the micro switch 4. Ultimately, this achieves accurate detection and safety protection of the broken rope fault, preventing the spread of accidents.
