The present invention relates to the field of crack monitoring, and in particular, to an online monitoring system for a crack on a hoist spindle.
At present, most coal wells in China are shallow wells, with the depth of 500-800 m in the ground. However, coal resources buried at depths of 1000-2000 m account for about 53% of the total reserves. It is necessary to use a kilometer deep well hoisting system (including a hoist, a hoisting container, and a hoisting wire rope, etc.). As a main bearing component of the hoist, a spindle bears all the torque for hoisting and lowering a load, and also withstands the tension of wire ropes on both sides. As the depth of the well reaches more than a kilometer, the maximum static tension of the hoist and the number of winding layers of the spindle drum are greatly increased, which causes the wire ropes to generate a winding pressure on the drum that is much larger than the existing structure, and the tension and torque of the wire ropes acting on the spindle are also significantly increased. The static load of the hoist terminal is 240 t or more and the economic hoisting speed is 20 m/s or more when the well depth is 2000 m. The huge dynamic load thus generated seriously endangers the service life of the spindle. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out online monitoring on cracks on the spindle of the kilometer deep well hoist.
It is difficult to monitor cracks on a spindle section inside a hoist drum online due to the following three reasons: the spindle speed of the hoist is 81 rad/s or more; the internal space of the drum is narrow, so that it is difficult to install a monitoring device; and tangling and knotting of data lines easily occur in wired transmission.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an online monitoring system for a crack on a hoist spindle, which is intended to solve the technical problem that the existing online crack monitoring system cannot monitor cracks of a spindle section inside a drum.
To achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
An online monitoring system for a crack on a hoist spindle, disposed inside a drum, comprising:
a crack detection part, configured to detect a crack on a hoist spindle and comprising a spiral tube guide rail, wherein the spiral tube guide rail is axially sleeved outside a spindle section of the hoist along the hoist spindle and is fixed relative to the hoist spindle; a sliding body is slidably disposed on the spiral tube guide rail; two sides of the sliding body are respectively drivingly connected to a rope traction member by means of a rope; the rope traction member comprises a first rope traction member and a second rope traction member; and the two rope traction members are configured to drive the sliding body to move back and forth on the spiral tube guide rail;
the sliding body comprises a curved pipe, an outer shell, and a thin-wall connecting portion, wherein the curved pipe is a curved hollow pipe having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the spiral tube guide rail; the curved pipe passes through the interior of the spiral tube guide rail; a through groove is disposed on one side of the spiral tube guide rail that faces outward; one end of the thin-wall connecting portion is fixedly connected to the curved pipe, and the other end is connected to the outer shell through the through groove; a bolt for fixing the rope is disposed on the thin-wall connecting portion; an ultrasonic generator for transmitting ultrasonic waves to the hoist spindle is mounted at the bottom of the outer shell; and the ultrasonic generator is configured to detect the crack on the hoist spindle; and
a wireless transmission part comprising three zigbee wireless sensing modules, wherein
a signal input end of a first zigbee module is connected to a signal output end of the first rope traction member;
a signal input end of a second zigbee module is connected to a signal output end of the second rope traction member;
a signal input end of a third zigbee module is connected to a signal output end of the ultrasonic generator;

a signal output end of the computer is connected to a signal input end of the first rope traction member and a signal input end of the second rope traction member, respectively.
Bolts for fixing the rope are disposed at both ends of the thin-wall connecting portion.
The first rope traction member and the second rope traction member have the same structure, and each comprises: a stepper motor driver, a stepper motor, and a rope guide wheel, wherein the stepper motor driver is mounted at a web plate, the rope guide wheel is connected to a rotating shaft of the stepper motor, the rope guide wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the rope, and the other end of the rope is connected to one side of the sliding body.
The left end of the spiral tube guide rail is sleeved with one end of a first rail joint, and the other end of the first rail joint is fixedly connected to a cylindrical welded joint of a left web plate of the hoist. The right end of the spiral tube guide rail is connected to one end of the second rail joint, and the other end of the second rail joint is fixedly connected to a cylindrical welded joint of a right web plate of the hoist.
The three zigbee wireless sensing modules comprise an antenna that extends outward through a hole in the web plate during installation to avoid the effect of metals on wireless sensing.
The present invention further discloses an operation method based on the online monitoring system for a crack on a hoist spindle, wherein a first zigbee module receives an instruction from a computer and then transmits the instruction to a first stepper motor driver, and a first stepper motor drives a first guide wheel to rotate in the forward direction, so that the winding of a first traction rope pulls a sliding body to spirally slide to the left on a spiral tube guide rail, an ultrasonic generator clamped on the sliding body monitors the rotating spindle along the spiral tube guide rail, and a third zigbee module embedded in the ultrasonic generator transmits monitored data to the computer in real time;
the computer sends a reverse instruction to a second zigbee module when the sliding body slides to the leftmost end of the spiral tube guide rail, the second zigbee module transmits the instruction to a second stepper motor driver, and a second stepper motor drives a second guide wheel to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the winding of a second traction rope pulls the sliding body to spirally slide to the right on the spiral tube guide rail, and the ultrasonic generator clamped on the sliding body monitors the rotating spindle along the spiral tube guide rail until the sliding body slides to the rightmost end of the spiral tube guide rail, and through this cyclic process, real-time monitoring of the hoist spindle is realized.
Advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows.
1) The online monitoring system for a crack on a hoist spindle of the present invention can monitor cracks on a spindle section inside a drum online, and can timely and effectively warn about further expansion of the cracks, avoiding safety accidents and loss of life and property.
2) A rope power portion separates a power device from a sliding body mechanism, which can reduce the weight of the sliding body, and can also meet the requirement for a small size of the sliding body in a narrow space of a small pitch of the spiral tube guide rail.
3) The zigbee wireless sensing module makes transmission of computer instructions more convenient, and avoids tangling and knotting of data lines due to rotation of a spindle.
