Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting device technology, and specifically to an encoder position detection mechanism applied to a lifting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of automating the loading system, existing technologies propose to modify the support pulleys and use the rotation of the pulleys to track the displacement information of the wire rope in real time, thereby achieving precise monitoring of the hoist position and realizing automated control.

[0003] Currently, existing methods based on pulley rotation and encoder detection carry risks such as slippage and pulley detachment between the wire rope and pulley. This causes the rotation angle recorded by the encoder to differ from the actual running length of the wire rope, which can seriously affect control accuracy and system safety. Furthermore, existing pulley and encoder structures are mostly rigid combinations, lacking adjustable active clamping mechanisms, and cannot adapt to stable measurement requirements under different tensions or operating conditions. These problems directly affect the accuracy of encoder output data and the stability of the system.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs an encoder position detection mechanism for use in lifting devices to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-6The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: an encoder position detection mechanism applied to a lifting device, including a pulley assembly 1 and a pressure roller assembly 2. The pressure roller assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the pulley assembly 1. The pressure roller assembly 2 includes a vertical plate 201, a guide groove 202, a mounting plate 203, a first fixing screw 204, a hexagonal nut 205, an adjusting bolt 206, a flat washer 207, a limiting post 208, a mold spring 209, a cylindrical cavity 2010, a pressure roller mounting seat 2011, a rotating shaft 2012, a pressure roller 2013, a second fixing screw 2015, and a second fixing screw 2015. The lower ends of the two vertical plates 201 are fixedly connected to the pulley assembly 1 by the second fixing screw 2015. The mounting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the pulley assembly 1 by the first fixing screw 2015. Screws 204 are fixedly installed on the top of two upright plates 201. Guide grooves 202 are provided on the sides of both upright plates 201. A hexagonal nut 205 is connected to the center of the upper end of the mounting plate 203. An adjusting bolt 206 is screwed into the hexagonal nut 205. The adjusting bolt 206 passes through the mounting plate 203. The lower end of the adjusting bolt 206 is movably connected to the limiting post 208. The limiting post 208 is connected to the upper end of the flat washer 207. A mold spring 209 is connected to the lower end of the flat washer 207. The lower end of the mold spring 209 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressure roller mounting base 2011. A cylindrical cavity 2010 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end of the pressure roller mounting base 2011. The mold spring 209 is located inside the cylindrical cavity 2010.

[0026] A rotating shaft 2012 is connected to the pressure roller mounting base 2011. A pressure roller 2013 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 2012. The pressure roller 2013 is located inside the pressure roller mounting base 2011. The two ends of the rotating shaft 2012 are respectively slidably connected to the guide grooves 202 opened on the same side upright plate 201. Shaft elastic retaining rings 2014 are respectively provided at the connection between the pressure roller mounting base 2011 and the rotating shaft 2012 on both sides.

[0027] The rotating shaft 2012 of the aforementioned pressure roller assembly 2 can float up and down in the guide groove 202 through an adjustable structural design, forming a flexible compression on the wire rope, which not only increases the friction but also prevents the wire rope from jumping up. By rotating the adjusting bolt 206 that passes through the mounting plate 203, the adjusting bolt 206 is screwed downward into the hexagonal nut 205, which compresses the mold spring 209 in the cylindrical cavity 2010 to adjust the preload of the compression spring, thereby adjusting the degree of compression of the wire rope by the pressure roller.

[0028] The pulley assembly 1 includes a bearing mounting plate 101, a connecting plate 102, a first hex socket head cap screw 103, a deep groove ball bearing 104, a pulley 105, a U-shaped mounting plate 106, an encoder mounting base 107, an absolute rotary encoder 108, an aluminum alloy flexible coupling 109, and a second hex socket head cap screw 1010. Two connecting plates 102 are symmetrically arranged between the two bearing mounting plates 101. The two ends of the connecting plates 102 are connected to the two bearing mounting plates 101 by the first hex socket head cap screw 103. Two U-shaped mounting plates 106 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the back of the rear bearing mounting plate 101.

[0029] A deep groove ball bearing 104 is installed at the center of each bearing mounting plate 101, and a pulley 105 is installed at the center between the two bearing mounting plates 101. The two ends of the pulley 105 axle are respectively installed in the inner ring of the two deep groove ball bearings 104.

[0030] An encoder mounting base 107 is fixedly mounted at the center of the front bearing mounting plate 101 by a plurality of second hexagon socket screws 1010. An elastic washer is provided at the connection between the encoder mounting base 107 and the bearing mounting plate 101. An absolute rotary encoder 108 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the encoder mounting base 107 by a plurality of second hexagon socket screws 1010. The inner shaft of the absolute rotary encoder 108 is connected to the axle of the pulley 105 by an aluminum alloy elastic coupling 109.

[0031] The two upright plates 201 of the pressure roller assembly 2 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two bearing mounting plates 101 by two second fixing screws 2015 respectively, and the pressure roller 2013 of the pressure roller assembly 2 is located directly above the pulley 105.

[0032] The displacement detection structure formed by the pulley 105 and the absolute rotary encoder 108 measures the movement of the wire rope based on the rotation of the pulley. At the same time, the pulley assembly 1 and the pressure roller assembly 2 adopt a modular design. Both the pulley assembly and the pressure roller assembly are independent modules, which facilitates on-site installation and subsequent maintenance, and is suitable for the rapid transformation and upgrading of old equipment.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In specific use, the wire rope drives the pulley 105 to rotate during operation. The rotation of the pulley 105, connected by the aluminum alloy elastic coupling 109, drives the inner shaft of the absolute rotary encoder 108 to rotate synchronously. Thus, the absolute rotary encoder 108 records angular displacement data in real time to monitor the running length of the wire rope. The pressure roller 2013 in the pressure roller assembly 2 forms a limiting and covering structure on the upper part of the pulley 105. By rotating the adjusting bolt 206, an adjustable vertical preload is applied, which can prevent the wire rope from slipping or derailing during operation. This ensures that the wire rope is always stably attached to the groove of the pulley 105, effectively overcoming problems such as wire rope slippage, slippage, and rope skipping, and significantly improving the accuracy and consistency of the encoder position monitoring output data.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
