Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hoisting technology, and specifically relates to an adjustable hoisting head assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional lifting head assemblies cannot actively adjust for angular deviations in the Z-axis direction. In complex working conditions such as high arch dams and inclined portal slots, the lifting head and lifting lugs are difficult to align naturally, requiring repeated manual calibration, which is inefficient and poses high safety risks. Although some components achieve X and Y axis guidance through mechanical guiding structures (such as planar grooves), they lack active Z-axis correction capabilities, resulting in limited alignment accuracy.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional lifting head assemblies lack pre-installed sensor mounting interfaces, making it impossible to monitor the alignment status of the lifting head and lugs and the position of the pins in real time. This hinders intelligent, unmanned operation and poses safety hazards. Existing monitoring methods (such as manual inspection) rely on the experience of on-site personnel, are susceptible to environmental interference, and cannot meet the requirements of high-precision operations.
