Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cableway accessories technology, specifically a detachable cableway tire pressure monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Detachable cableways are an important mode of transportation in mountainous scenic areas and ski resorts, and their operational safety is directly related to the safety of passengers' lives and property. Cableway tires, as crucial components for cabin deceleration, are essential for safe operation; therefore, regular tire pressure checks are necessary.

[0003] Currently, tire pressure monitoring for detachable cableways mainly relies on manual inspection. During cableway shutdowns, workers must use ladders to climb to a height where they can access the tires and then tap each tire individually, relying on experience to determine if the tire pressure is normal. This method has the following problems: firstly, it poses a danger to workers working at heights; secondly, it is inefficient and relies on subjective judgment, which introduces errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable cableway tire pressure monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model discloses a detachable cableway tire pressure monitoring device, comprising: a base, slidably arranged on a beam adjacent to the cableway tire; and a detection component, fixed to the base, the detection component including a pushing component and a detection rod, one end of the detection rod being connected to the pushing component, and a pressure sensor being disposed on the detection rod or between the detection rod and the pushing component. The pushing component quantitatively pushes the detection rod toward and presses against the cableway tire. A limiting component is provided on the base to restrict the linear movement of the detection rod. The limiting component can limit and guide the detection rod; limiting prevents the detection rod from deviating from the correct direction of movement, and guiding ensures that the detection rod moves accurately toward the cableway tire.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: By sliding the base onto the beam adjacent to the cableway tire, the device can be installed and monitored directly on the beam platform, eliminating the need for workers to climb to a height and contact the tire, thus avoiding high-altitude safety accidents during monitoring. Furthermore, by using pressure sensor data instead of subjective judgment by workers, the monitoring results are more accurate.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a slide rail, and the bottom of the probe rod has a structure that allows it to slide and slidably assemble with the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure sensor is either a piezoelectric or piezoresistive sensor.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is equipped with wheels. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a front view of an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 This is a top view of an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the detection component in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] In the diagram: beam 100, fence 110, base 200, walking wheel 210, shell 220, motor 300, lead screw 310, nut 320, cylinder 400, detection rod 500, ball head 510, cableway tire 600, pressure sensor 700. Detailed Implementation

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a detachable cableway tire pressure monitoring device, comprising: a base 200, slidably arranged on a beam 100 adjacent to the cableway tires; the cableway tires are typically closely arranged, thus providing continuous and powerful friction to the car. The beam 100 adjacent to the cableway tires can be present in the cableway equipment before the tire pressure monitoring device is installed, or it can be added later. Since the cableway tires are arranged in a straight line, the installation line of the beam 100 where the monitoring device is installed is parallel to that of the cableway tires. Thus, moving the base 200 on the beam 100 can bring the monitoring device to the opposite side of each cableway tire, achieving the effect of one monitoring device detecting one row of cableway tires. A detection component, fixed on the base 200, includes a pushing component and a detection rod 500. One end of the detection rod 500 is connected to the pushing component. A pressure sensor 700 is provided on the detection rod 500 or between the detection rod 500 and the pushing component. The pushing component pushes the detection rod 500 quantitatively towards and presses the cableway tire. The push assembly presses the probe rod 500 against the cableway tire for a fixed distance (e.g., 1-3 cm) and reads the pressure value of the probe rod 500 through the pressure sensor 700. The pressure value is used to determine the condition of the cableway tire 600. The higher the pressure value, the more inflated the tire. The pressure value can be measured by pressing a tire with standard air pressure, and the obtained pressure value is used as a reference value. The pressure boundary of the tire's normal operating range can be measured by pressing to obtain the maximum and minimum safe pressure values. The pressure value between the maximum and minimum safe pressure values ​​is the normal pressure value. The staff can use this as a basis to decide whether to take action after monitoring. The base 200 is equipped with a limiter to restrict the linear movement of the probe rod 500. The limiter can limit and guide the probe rod 500. Limiting prevents the probe rod 500 from deviating from the correct direction of movement, and guiding ensures that the probe rod 500 moves accurately toward the cableway tire 600.

[0017] In some embodiments, the pushing component includes a motor 300 and a reciprocating structure connected to the probe 500. The reciprocating structure ensures that the probe 500 performs continuous monitoring operations, extending to engage with the tire for monitoring and retracting to disengage from the tire, ensuring that the base 200 moves normally to the next monitoring position.

[0018] In some embodiments, the limiting member may be a cylinder 400, the axis of which is perpendicular to the plane containing the cable car tire 600. A probe 500 is slidably disposed within the cylinder 400, and a ball head 510 is provided at one end of the probe 500 facing the cable car tire 600. The ball head 510 can prevent scratching the cable car tire 600.

[0019] Furthermore, the limiting component can also be a slide rail, and the bottom structure of the probe 500 has a structure for sliding assembly with the slide rail. For example, the slide rail is a dovetail groove, and the bottom structure of the probe 500 has a slider that matches the dovetail groove. The slide rail can also be constructed as a raised ridge, and the bottom structure of the probe 500 has a groove that can slide on the ridge.

[0020] In some embodiments, the reciprocating structure can be a lead screw and nut pair, wherein the lead screw 310 is driven by a motor 300, and the rotation of the lead screw 310 causes the nut 320 to move. When the nut 320 moves, it pushes the probe rod 500 toward the cableway tire 600. After monitoring is completed, the lead screw 310 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the nut 320 to retract, thereby causing the probe rod 500 to return to its initial position. Based on this, the nut 320 and the probe rod 500 are fixedly connected. In addition, in order to leave sufficient movement space for the lead screw 310, a hollow section is constructed in the nut 320, and a thread is constructed in the hollow section to mesh with the lead screw 310. This ensures that the lead screw 310 will not protrude from the nut 320 when pulling the nut 320 back. The length of the hollow section is greater than the stroke of the probe rod 500, and the motor 300 is fixedly arranged on the base 200.

[0021] In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 700 can be a piezoelectric or piezoresistive sensor, or a mechanical sensor that displays the pressure by spring compression. A piezoresistive or piezoelectric sensor can be positioned at the connection between the probe rod 500 and the nut 320, or directly between the probe rod 500 and the ball head 510. If it is a mechanical sensor, it can also be positioned at the connection between the nut 320 and the probe rod 500.

[0022] In some embodiments, the base 200 is provided with wheels 210, which drive the base 200 to reciprocate on the beam 100. Guardrails 110 are arranged on both sides of the beam 100 in the width direction to ensure that the entire monitoring device will not fall off the beam 100. The wheels 210 can be driven by a motor 300 inside the base 200. Furthermore, a synchronous belt can be arranged on the beam 100, and a motor 300 can be installed on the beam 100 to drive the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is fixedly connected to the base 200, and the base 200 can also move smoothly via the wheels 210 under the drive of the synchronous belt.

[0023] In some embodiments, a housing 220 is also provided on the base 200 to house the motor 300 and the reciprocating structure.
