The Decontaminating Device in Steel Wire Rope Automatic Cleaning, Detection and Maintenance Integration System

Abstract:

In order to improve the service life of wire rope used n tensile stringing, an automatic cleaning, detection and maintenance integration system was designed. Through the simulation analysis of elastic plates that fix the fixed brushes and the design of the rotating brushes driving system, a wire rope decontamination device assembled fixed brushes and rotating brushes was developed according to the demand of steel wire decontamination. The brush head adopts the design concept of elastic device, which makes the wire rope pressing force adjustable, ensures the wire connectors passable and makes the axial dirt sweeping of different diameter wire rope possible. The overall rotation mechanism with multiple brushes can circumferentially sweep the dirt in the wire rope gap. Then, the wire ropes were comprehensively sweeped with no dead cleanup. The device has been actually used, and the results showed that the decontamination effect is good.
