Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining electric shovel maintenance technology, and in particular to a cable reel for mining electric shovel maintenance. Background Technology
[0002] Electric shovels, also known as rope shovels or cable shovels, are the main mining equipment in open-pit mines. They consist of a traveling mechanism, a slewing mechanism, and a working device. They are driven by an electric motor using gears, chains, and other transmissions. They are characterized by high productivity, high operating efficiency, and low operating costs. Their buckets directly bear the force of the ore and complete the excavation under the pushing and lifting forces. With the development of technology, electric shovels are being upgraded towards electrification and intelligence to improve operating efficiency and safety. Mining electric shovels operate in harsh environments, and the cable reel must frequently withstand the dragging, crushing, and bending of the cable. Over time, the positioning groove of the reel may deform due to uneven cable winding or external impact, causing the cable to jam or fall off. The connection between the support rod and the bearing is prone to loosening due to vibration, and may even cause the bearing to break, affecting the smoothness of cable winding and unwinding. Therefore, this utility model proposes a cable reel for the maintenance of mining electric shovels to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The fixed roller is symmetrically rotatably connected to one side of the slide frame, and the moving roller is symmetrically rotatably connected to both ends of the sliding block. The lead screw is rotatably connected inside the slide frame, and one end of the lead screw passes through the interior of the sliding block and is threadedly connected to it.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the cable moves along the length of the rotating arm and passes between the moving roller and the fixed roller, and bends at 90° around a moving roller. The slide rail restricts the movement trajectory of the sliding block. The screw and the sliding block are threaded together.

The cable moves along the length of the rotating arm 4, and the cable passes between the moving roller 8 and the fixed roller. The sliding block 7 passes between 9 and bends at 90° around a moving roller 8. The slide frame 6 restricts the movement trajectory of the sliding block 7. The lead screw 10 is threadedly engaged with the sliding block 7. The handwheel drives the lead screw 10 to rotate forward and backward, causing the sliding block 7 to move linearly back and forth inside the slide frame 6. The sliding block 7 drives the moving roller 8 to approach the fixed roller 9. The moving roller 8 and the fixed roller 9 respectively fit against the two sides of the cable to limit the cable. The moving roller 8 and the fixed roller 9 can rotate on their own to reduce the friction between them and the cable, making the cable move more smoothly.
