Detailed Implementation

[0045] The following are specific embodiments of this application, described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, to further illustrate the technical solutions of this application. However, this application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0047] The cable car moves along the cableway and is used to transport materials. This application optimizes the structure of the cable car, making it more compact, lighter, easier to relocate, with a larger lifting capacity, and easier to install. A detailed description follows with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] refer to Figures 1-3The cable car includes a frame 10, a traveling assembly 20, a winch assembly 30, a battery 60, and two support assemblies 40. The traveling assembly 20 includes a drive wheel 21 and a first motor 22; the drive wheel 21 is adapted to the cableway cable S, and the first motor 22 drives the drive wheel 21 to travel along the cableway cable S. The winch assembly 30 includes a drum 31, a hoisting rope 32, and a second motor 33. The hoisting rope 32 is wound on the drum 31 for suspending materials, and the second motor 33 drives the drum 31 to rotate to wind up and unwind the hoisting rope 32. The battery 60 provides power to drive the first motor 22 and the second motor 33. The two support assemblies 40 are arranged one in front of the other on either side of the drive wheel 21 along the direction of movement of the cable car; each support assembly 40 includes a support wheel 41; the support wheel 41 is adapted to the cableway cable S and supports and guides the cable car to move along the cableway cable S. The height of the drive wheel 21 is lower than that of the support wheel 41. Placing the drive wheel 21 below the support wheel 41 saves space, makes the structure more compact, and reduces the weight.

[0049] The walking assembly 20 is used to enable movement along the cableway S. The cableway S is tightly wound within the groove of the drive wheel 21. When the first motor 22 drives the drive wheel 21 to rotate, the drive wheel 21 moves by means of friction with the cableway S. It should be understood that when multiple drive wheels 21 are provided, the cableway S can be wound around multiple drive wheels 21 simultaneously, and the multiple drive wheels 21 can move by means of friction with the cableway S. In a specific embodiment, the walking assembly 20 includes a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel, which are driven by the same first motor 22.

[0050] The hoist assembly 30 is used to lift materials, and the lifting rope 32 is wound around the drum 31 to suspend the materials. As the second motor 33 drives the drum 31 to rotate, the drum 31 can wind in or unwind the lifting rope 32, thereby lifting or lowering the materials. A hook can be provided at the end of the lifting rope 32 for hooking the materials.

[0051] The support assembly 40 is used to support and guide the cable car as it moves along the cableway S. The support wheel 41 can press down on the cableway S, and provides support and guidance when the traveling assembly 20 drives the cable car to travel along the cableway S.

[0052] During operation, driven by the traveling assembly 20, the cable car moves along the cableway S to above the material to be transported. At this time, the winch assembly 30 releases the hoisting rope 32 to lift the material. Then, driven by the traveling assembly 20, the cable car carrying the material lifted by the winch assembly 30 moves along the cableway S to the predetermined position, and the winch assembly 30 releases the hoisting rope 32 to lower the material.

[0053] In this embodiment, both the cableway rope and the hoisting rope can be made of steel wire rope, which can be selected according to actual needs. Furthermore, both the first and second motors are battery-powered, which, compared to internal combustion engine drive, offers higher safety, requires less maintenance, and is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the walking assembly 20 further includes a support frame 23. The walking assembly 20 has a plurality of drive wheels 21, which are distributed along the direction of movement of the cable car. A first motor 22 is arranged on a first axial side of the drive wheels 21 and is poweredly connected to the drive wheels 21. The support frame 23 is arranged on a second axial side of the drive wheels 21 and is detachably connected to the mounting shaft of each drive wheel 21, specifically by bolt connection. The support frame 23 provides support for the drive wheels 21 and can be used to resist the tension of the wire rope. In some embodiments, the support frame 23 is provided with a shielding structure 231; the shielding structure 231 is higher than the axis of the drive wheels 21 and covers the space between adjacent drive wheels 21. The shielding structure 231 can protect the transmission structure and prevent foreign objects or wire ropes from entering and affecting the operation of the internal transmission structure.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support assembly 40 also includes a floating frame 42; the floating frame 42 is detachably mounted on the frame 10, and the support wheel 41 is rotatably mounted on the floating frame 42. On the first axial side of the support wheel 41, the floating frame 42 extends downward to below the support wheel 41 to form a first limiting structure 421 for limiting the cableway cable S. On the second axial side of the support wheel 41, the floating frame 42 extends downward to below the support wheel 41 to form a second limiting structure 422 for limiting the cableway cable S. The first limiting structure 421 and the second limiting structure 422 can restrain the wire rope between the first limiting structure 421 and the second limiting structure 422, preventing the wire rope from coming off due to the cableway bouncing.

[0056] A shaft 11 is provided on the frame 10; the support assembly 40 also includes a limiting member 43, a pin 44, and a retaining ring. The shaft 11 extends laterally, with its first end fixed and its second end suspended; a floating frame 42 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 11; the retaining ring is mounted on the shaft 11 and arranged on the side of the floating frame 42 near the second end of the shaft 11 to limit the floating frame 42; the limiting member 43 is arranged on the side of the retaining ring near the second end of the shaft 11; the limiting member 43 is movably connected to the frame 10 and has a notch 431; the limiting member 43 can be adjusted based on the movable connection so that the notch 431 on it engages or disengages from the shaft 11; when the notch 431 on the limiting member 43 engages with the shaft 11, the limiting member 43 and the shaft 11 can be connected by the pin 44.

[0057] The limiting member prevents the cableway from detaching. The limiting member 43 can rotate and / or slide based on a movable connection. During assembly, the retaining ring is assembled first. Then, the notch 431 on the limiting member 43 is engaged with the shaft 11, and the limiting member 43 and the shaft 11 are connected and restrained together by the pin 44. In this structure, both the retaining ring and the limiting member 43 are used to restrain the floating frame 42, resulting in high connection reliability. When assembling or disassembling the cableway, the pin 44 is first removed. Then, the notch 431 on the limiting member 43 is separated from the shaft 11. At this point, the cableway can pass between the limiting member 43 and the shaft 11 for assembly or disassembly. It should also be noted that the retaining ring (also called a snap ring, retaining ring, or stop ring) is a standard part and is an important component in mechanical assembly used for positioning, fixing, or restricting the relative movement of components within shafts and holes.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, a second motor 33 is arranged on each side of the drum 31, and the second motors 33 on both sides are respectively connected to the drum 31 to drive the drum 31 to rotate. This arrangement makes the center of gravity of the hoisting assembly balanced and doubles the hoisting force.

[0059] refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment of this application, reinforcing ribs 311 are arranged on both sides of the drum 31, and detachable fixing plates 34 are provided on the reinforcing ribs 311; the fixing plates 34 and the reinforcing ribs 311 can cooperate to clamp and fix the rope end of the lifting rope passing through the inside of the drum 31. Figure 6 In the structure shown, three reinforcing ribs 311 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the drum 31. In this design, the reinforcing ribs 311 can be used to strengthen the structural strength of the drum 31, and can also be used in conjunction with the fixing plate 34 to fix the rope end of the suspension rope, simplifying the structure, making it lighter, and making installation more convenient.

[0060] refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment of this application, the hoist assembly 30 further includes: a pair of parallel-arranged transverse guide rollers 35 and a pair of parallel-arranged longitudinal guide rollers 36. The transverse guide rollers 35 are horizontally arranged below the drum 31, with their axes extending laterally. The longitudinal guide rollers 36 are horizontally arranged between the drum 31 and the transverse guide rollers 35, with their axes extending longitudinally. The axis of the transverse guide rollers 35 is perpendicular to the axis of the drum 31. The axis of the longitudinal guide rollers 36 is parallel to the axis of the drum 31 and is offset laterally from the axis of the drum 31. This arrangement allows the transverse guide rollers 35 to be designed closer to the drum 31, effectively utilizing the lateral space of the rollers 36, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0061] refer to Figure 5In one embodiment of this application, the battery is housed inside the frame 10; the frame 10 is provided with a door panel 50 for installing and removing the battery; one side of the door panel 50 is hinged to the frame 10, and the other side is threadedly connected to the frame 10 via fasteners; the fasteners include a bolt member 51 and a nut member 52, which are threadedly engaged and can be installed and removed by rotating the nut member 52; the nut member 52 is provided with an operable handle. In a specific embodiment, the bolt member 51 is connected to the frame 10, extends outward through an opening in the door panel 50, and is threadedly engaged with the nut member 52, thereby securing the door panel 50. The nut member 52 is provided with an operable handle, which can be used to tighten or loosen the nut member 52. Simultaneously, the weight of the handle can prevent the nut member 52 from loosening, increasing the reliability of the threaded connection. Furthermore, after the door panel 50 is assembled, it can also be used to press the battery firmly, preventing the battery from shaking.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, the frame 10 is further provided with a motor mount 13 for mounting a first motor; a fence 131 is fixed on the motor mount 13, and the fence 131 is located on both sides of the first motor. In a specific embodiment, the fence 131 is fixed to the motor mount 13 by welding. In this design, the mounting structure of the first motor and the fence are fixed together to form an integrated structure, which serves as both a mounting fastener for the first motor and a reinforcement of the structural strength, and also provides protection for the first motor. The structure is simple and lightweight.

[0063] refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment of this application, the frame 10 is further provided with a battery cover 12; the battery cover 12 is located on top of the battery to press the battery down; the edge of the battery cover 12 is bent to form a folded edge 121. In this design, the battery cover 12 is used to press the battery down from the top to prevent the battery from shaking, and the battery cover 12 can be removed to remove and put in the battery during maintenance. In addition, the folded edge 121 can enhance rigidity.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, the circumferential edge of the drum 31 extends beyond the frame 10. This design facilitates the replacement of the hoisting rope and allows for a lighter and smaller overall structure of the winch assembly.

[0065] In summary, this application optimizes the structure of the cable car, making it more compact, lighter, easier to relocate, capable of lifting larger loads, and easier to install. A detailed explanation follows with reference to the accompanying drawings.
