Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator wire rope tension detection technology, specifically an early warning device for automatically detecting elevator wire rope tension. Background Technology
[0002] During elevator system operation, the uniformity of tension distribution between the wire rope and the traction sheave directly affects the safety of equipment operation. Currently, elevator tension detection mainly focuses on the overall tension value of the wire rope, lacking real-time monitoring methods for the specific contact state of the wire rope in the sheave groove. When uneven tension occurs in one or more wire ropes, it can cause abnormal displacement of the wire rope in the sheave groove, accelerating the wear of the wire rope and the sheave groove.
[0003] Existing detection technologies have significant limitations: first, they cannot monitor the tension distribution of the wire rope in real time during operation; second, they are difficult to pinpoint the exact location of tension anomalies; and third, they lack the ability to provide early warnings of tension deviations. Traditional detection methods require manual inspection after the elevator has been shut down, which not only affects the normal use of the elevator but also fails to detect dynamic tension changes during operation in a timely manner, posing safety hazards.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes an early warning device for automatically detecting the tension of elevator wire ropes. Utility Model Content

To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic early warning device for detecting the tension of elevator wire ropes, comprising multiple wheel discs, a main shaft on the inner wall of the wheel discs, a traction machine at the end of the main shaft, the wheel discs for traction of the wire ropes, spacers between adjacent wheel discs, and multiple pressure sensors inside the spacers, the pressure sensors being located on the side area where the wire rope is wound around the wheel disc.
[0006] Preferably, the traction machine has an oil storage box on its side, the oil storage box has multiple spray nozzles inside, the oil storage box has a block to block the spray nozzles inside, a connecting strip is provided above the block, an electric push rod is provided above the connecting strip, and the end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil storage box.
[0007] Preferably, the electric actuator has a preset time interval for top retraction, and the position of the nozzle is on the same vertical line as the center area of the wheel.

Each labeling liquid box has an independent liquid valve above the spray outlet. The liquid valve is electrically connected to the pressure sensor through the system control center. When the pressure sensor detects an abnormal pressure, the corresponding liquid valve will release the labeling liquid to the surface of the wire rope.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic detection and early warning device for elevator wire rope tension, comprising multiple wheel discs 1, a main shaft 2 on the inner wall of the wheel disc 1, and a traction machine 3 at the end of the main shaft 2. The power equipment inside the traction machine 3 drives the main shaft 2 and the wheel discs 1 to rotate, thereby assisting the transmission effect of the wire rope on the wheel disc 1. Each wheel disc 1 is used to traction different wire ropes. A spacer 4 is provided between adjacent wheel discs 1. The spacer 4 is also located on the outer wall of the main shaft 2 and rotates with it. Multiple pressure sensors 5 are fixedly connected to the spacer 4. The pressure sensors 5 are located in the side area where the wire rope is wrapped around the wheel disc 1. If the wire rope deflects within the wheel disc 1, the pressure sensor 5 will receive the pressure data immediately and then send it to the control center, achieving the early warning effect of real-time monitoring of wire rope tension data.
[0021] Furthermore, the traction machine 3 has an oil storage box 6 on its side and is fixedly connected to it. The oil storage box 6 has multiple spray nozzles inside, and a block 7 is provided inside the oil storage box 6 to block the spray nozzles. A connecting strip 8 is provided above the block 7 and is fixedly connected to it. An electric push rod 9 is provided above the connecting strip 8 and is fixedly connected to it. The end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil storage box 6. The electric push rod 9 has a preset time interval for the top retraction. The position of the spray nozzle is on the same vertical line as the center area of the wheel 1. The electric push rod 9 can drive the connecting strip 8 and multiple blocks 7 to lift, thereby allowing the oil in the oil storage box 6 to flow downward from the spray nozzles and drip precisely onto the center area of the wheel 1 used to traction the wire rope. As the wheel 1 rotates, the entire wire rope is gradually wetted, making the wire rope transmission process smoother.
[0022] Meanwhile, the lubrication system can also be linked with the detection system. When an abnormal pressure is detected in a specific area of the wheel 1, the system will prioritize lubrication of that area, thereby reducing the risk of tension deviation caused by uneven friction.
[0023] In addition, a labeling liquid box 10 for storing labeling liquid is provided on the side of the oil storage box 6. The end of the labeling liquid box 10 is fixedly connected to the traction machine 3. Each labeling liquid box 10 has an independent liquid valve 11 above its spray outlet. The liquid valve 11 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5 through the system control center. When the pressure sensor 5 detects an abnormal pressure, the corresponding liquid valve 11 will release the labeling liquid onto the surface of the wire rope. This helps workers quickly locate the wire rope with abnormal tension, carry out timely maintenance, and avoid safety hazards caused by uneven wire rope tension.
[0024] The traction machine 3 has a fixed rod 12 on its side, which is fixedly connected to the rod. Multiple clamps 13 are fixedly connected to the rod 12 on its side. The inner wall of each clamp 13 contacts the outer wall of the wire rope. The interior of each clamp 13 includes a rubber section 14, which is elastic and located in the central area of the pulley 1. The compression of the wire rope by the rubber section 14 can clean excess oil and impurities from its surface, and also slightly correct the transmission direction of the wire rope, maintaining its normal vertical transmission direction and reducing the possibility of deviation.
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] When the automatic elevator wire rope tension detection and early warning device is activated, the internal power unit of the traction machine 3 starts, driving the main shaft 2 to rotate. The main shaft 2 then drives the pulley 1 to rotate, thereby realizing the transmission of the wire rope on the pulley 1. During the transmission process, the pressure sensor 5, located in the spacer 4 between adjacent pulleys 1, monitors the pressure data in real time on the area where the wire rope is wrapped around the side of the pulley 1. Once the wire rope deflects within the pulley 1, the pressure sensor 5 will immediately receive abnormal pressure data and quickly send the data to the control center.
[0027] After receiving abnormal data, the control center will activate the early warning mechanism to alert staff. On the other hand, if the pressure abnormality reaches the set threshold, the control center will control the liquid valve 11, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5, to open, so that the marking liquid in the marking liquid box 10 is released onto the surface of the steel wire rope with abnormal tension, making it easier for staff to quickly locate the problematic steel wire rope.
[0028] Simultaneously, the electric push rod 9 operates according to a preset top retraction time interval, driving the connecting bar 8 and the stop block 7 to rise. This causes the oil in the oil reservoir 6 to flow out from the spray nozzle and precisely drip onto the center area of the wheel 1. As the wheel 1 rotates, the entire wire rope is wetted, ensuring smooth wire rope transmission. Furthermore, the clamp 13 on the fixed rod 12 and its internal rubber part 14 clean excess oil and impurities from their surfaces during wire rope transmission, and slightly correct the wire rope's transmission direction, reducing the possibility of deviation and ensuring stable elevator wire rope tension, thus guaranteeing safe elevator operation.
