The invention relates to the technical field of electric hoists, in particular to an anti-overload protection electric hoist. According to the anti-overload protection electric hoist, after locking of the
brake is relieved, the descending speed of a heavy object can be reduced, manpower is saved, and the
operation safety and efficiency are improved. An overload protection electric hoist comprises an electric hoist body, a first
servo motor, a load increasing mechanism and the like, the right side of the lower portion of the electric hoist body is connected with the first
servo motor, and the load increasing mechanism capable of detecting the load weight is arranged on the electric hoist body. When a heavy object needs to be lowered, the
brake is removed, then the winding drum and the first friction disc rotate, the rotating speed of the first friction disc is reduced through
friction force between the second friction disc and the first friction disc, then the rotating speed of the winding drum is reduced, the heavy object is lowered slowly, the descending speed of the heavy object can be reduced after locking of the
brake is removed, and manpower is saved; and the
operation safety and efficiency are improved.
