Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, specifically to a steel wire rope dewatering device. Background Technology
[0002] In deep well hoisting, multi-rope friction hoists are widely used, with 4-6 wire ropes. During operation, the wire ropes are wound around the surface of the drum liner, and power is transmitted through friction. During hoisting, due to various reasons such as water seepage in the shaft and intermediate sections, the wire ropes often carry a significant amount of water, which easily leads to water accumulation on the drum liner. Especially in coastal mines, where the seepage water contains high levels of chloride ions, the high-speed rotation of the drum (particularly during heavy load lowering or emergency braking) throws water from the liner out using centrifugal force, forming fine droplets. These chloride-containing droplets can directly splash onto nearby brake discs and brake housings, causing significant corrosion to the brake discs and disc brakes. This results in reduced friction of the drum liner, rusting and seizing of disc brakes, posing a significant safety hazard to the hoist operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the existing technical problems by providing a steel wire rope dewatering device.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A wire rope dewatering device includes a support base, on which a rope stabilizing wheel group and an air blowing assembly are installed. The rope stabilizing wheel group is used to clamp and limit the lateral displacement of the wire rope. The air blowing assembly includes two air blowing rings arranged opposite each other, and a receiving space is provided between the two air blowing rings for the wire rope to pass through. Air blowing holes are provided on the inner wall of the air blowing rings, and the air blowing rings are connected to an air source through a pipeline.
[0005] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows: Preferably, a bracket is mounted on the support base, and an adjustment assembly is mounted on the bracket. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed sleeve, an adjustment rod, and a support plate. The adjustment rod is inserted into the fixed sleeve and can move along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve. A locking member is mounted on the fixed sleeve to lock the adjustment rod. The support plate is mounted on the end of the adjustment rod, and the support plate is detachably connected to the air blowing ring.
[0006] Preferably, the stabilizing pulley assembly includes two oppositely arranged rollers, the rollers being made of polyurethane.
[0007] Preferably, the stabilizing pulley assembly, the air blowing assembly, and the adjusting assembly are all provided in multiple forms.
[0008] Preferably, the bracket is U-shaped with the opening facing downwards, and an air source main pipe is installed on the bracket. The air source main pipe extends along the length of the bracket, and each of the air blowing rings is connected to the air source main pipe through an air pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the gap between the inner wall of the air blowing ring and the outer wall of the wire rope is 7.5mm-10mm.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting a rope stabilizing wheel assembly on the support base, the lateral displacement of the wire rope can be effectively clamped and limited, preventing the wire rope from swaying or shifting during operation and ensuring the stability of the dewatering operation. The two opposing air-blowing rings in the air-blowing assembly have air-blowing holes on their inner walls that can evenly blow air onto the wire rope, quickly blowing away the moisture adhering to the surface of the wire rope, effectively removing moisture from the wire rope, reducing corrosion of parts such as the brake disc caused by water on the wire rope, and ensuring the stable and safe operation of the hoist.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0015] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a wire rope dewatering device, including a support base 1. A rope stabilizing wheel assembly and an air blowing assembly are mounted on the support base 1. The rope stabilizing wheel assembly is used to clamp and limit the lateral displacement of the wire rope 3. The air blowing assembly includes two opposing air blowing rings 7, with a space between the two air blowing rings 7 for the wire rope 3 to pass through. The two air blowing rings 7 are joined to form a ring. Air blowing holes are provided on the inner wall of the air blowing rings 7. The air blowing rings 7 are connected to an air source through a pipeline. The air blowing holes on the inner wall of the air blowing rings 7 are evenly distributed. When the air source supplies air to the air blowing rings 7 through the pipeline, the airflow is ejected at high speed from the air blowing holes, forming a uniform airflow field that directly acts on the surface of the wire rope 3, quickly blowing away the moisture adhering to the surface of the wire rope 3, thereby effectively removing moisture from the wire rope 3.
[0016] In this embodiment, a bracket 4 is installed on the support base 1, and an adjustment assembly is installed on the bracket 4. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed sleeve 5, an adjusting rod 6, and a support plate 8. The adjusting rod 6 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 5 and can move along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 5. A locking component, such as a locking screw or a locking bolt, is installed on the fixed sleeve 5 to lock the adjusting rod 6. The end of the adjusting rod 6 is equipped with the support plate 8, and the support plate 8 is detachably connected to the air blowing ring 7 by screws or bolts. The design of the adjustment assembly allows the position of the air blowing ring 7 to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual position and specifications of the wire rope 3. By moving the adjusting rod 6 within the fixed sleeve 5 and locking it with the locking component, the relative position of the air blowing ring 7 and the wire rope 3 can be precisely controlled, ensuring the best blowing effect and improving the convenience of use.
[0017] The stabilizing pulley assembly includes two opposing rollers 2. The rollers 2 are made of polyurethane, which has good wear resistance and elasticity, and can better clamp the wire rope 3, effectively limit its lateral displacement, reduce the swaying or deviation of the wire rope 3 during operation, ensure the stability of the dewatering operation, and prevent the wire rope 3 from swaying and causing damage due to friction between the wire rope 3 and the air blowing ring 7, thereby improving the service life of the wire rope 3 and the air blowing ring 7.
[0018] Furthermore, multiple stabilizing pulleys, air blowing components, and adjusting components are provided, their positions and numbers corresponding to the steel wire ropes 3. These can be flexibly configured according to the actual number of steel wire ropes 3, enabling simultaneous air blowing on multiple steel wire ropes 3 and improving air blowing efficiency. In this embodiment, there are six steel wire ropes 3, and six stabilizing pulleys, air blowing components, and adjusting components are also provided, enabling simultaneous air blowing on all six steel wire ropes 3 and improving air blowing efficiency.
[0019] In this embodiment, the bracket 4 is designed in a U-shape with the opening facing downwards, which not only provides structural stability but also facilitates the installation of the air supply main pipe 10. The air supply main pipe 10 extends along the length of the bracket 4, and each air blowing ring 7 is connected to the air supply main pipe 10 through an air pipe 9. Each air pipe 9 corresponds to a valve, enabling individual control of the air blowing ring 7. The air supply main pipe 10 can centrally supply air to each air blowing ring 7. This centralized air supply method simplifies the pipeline layout and improves the stability and reliability of the air supply.
[0020] The gap between the inner wall of the air-blowing ring 7 and the outer wall of the wire rope 3 is 7.5mm-10mm. Setting a suitable gap between the inner wall of the air-blowing ring 7 and the outer wall of the wire rope 3 ensures effective air blowing, allowing the gas to fully act on the surface of the wire rope 3 and preventing excessive gaps that would reduce water removal efficiency. It also avoids the problem of friction between the wire rope 3 and the air-blowing ring 7 due to excessively small gaps, which would affect the service life of both the wire rope 3 and the air-blowing ring 7.
[0021] In actual use, before applying the air blowing device, the lifespan of the disc brake was 12 months. After using the air blowing device, the lifespan of the disc brake was extended to 2 years, saving 86,000 yuan in spare parts costs annually. In addition, each maintenance of the disc brake requires a 4-hour shutdown, 6 times a year, affecting normal production for 24 hours, and incurring 400,000 yuan in production delay costs per day. Therefore, the overall cost savings amounted to 486,000 yuan, greatly reducing the operating costs.
[0022] In summary, this wire rope dewatering device can effectively remove moisture from the surface of the wire rope, reduce corrosion and power failure caused by equipment corrosion, improve the service life of parts, reduce the workload of replacing disc brakes and maintenance, reduce maintenance and spare parts costs, improve equipment operating rate and integrity, and ensure the stable and safe operation of the hoist, thus having significant economic and social benefits.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
