[0002] In the field of oil refining inspection and maintenance, it is often necessary to install the heat exchanger tube bundle into the heat exchanger shell for installation or maintenance. The traditional core puller adopts a simple fixed rope connection. When hoisting, people often need to tie another rope on the core puller to keep balance, which is a great test of the crane driver's level. At the same time, when placing the tooling on the core puller into the workstation, due to the axial swing of the tooling itself, if the operator is not careful, there will be a risk of overturning. In addition, considering the limitations of the on-site environment during the hoisting operation, the hoisting height is often very limited, which makes the safety risk high and the operation intensity high. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a hoisting device suitable for this operation. Summary of the invention

[0020] The level monitor inside the weight-adjusting motor 6 is a gyroscope.

[0021] The principle of the key parts of the lifting core pulling machine with self-adjusting center of gravity of the present invention is briefly described as follows:

[0022] Propulsion mechanism 1: The core moving component has a drive motor inside, which can be controlled by infrared remote control. The drive motor can rotate forward or reverse to drive the propulsion mechanism 1 forward or backward. It can push the tooling (not shown in the figure) set on the guide rail 5 into the predetermined work position, and at the same time it is linked with the weight adjustment motor 6. When the drive motor moves, the weight adjustment motor 6 is activated by default.

[0023] Weight-adjusting motor 6: a component that controls the forward and backward movement of the movable suspension column 9, with a built-in level monitor such as a gyroscope, used to monitor whether the weight-adjusting motor 6 is horizontal, thereby determining whether the present invention is in a horizontal position. If the weight-adjusting motor 6 is not in a horizontal position, the weight-adjusting motor 6 rotates forward or reversely according to the result to control the forward and backward movement of the threaded screw 8, thereby driving the movable suspension column 9 to move forward and backward, so that the suspension rope (not shown in the figure) can be adjusted to ensure that the present invention is always in a horizontal position. The weight-adjusting motor 6 is not started by default. Only when the driving motor of the propulsion mechanism 1 is in motion, the weight-adjusting motor 6 automatically wakes up and moves by itself. The weight-adjusting motor 6 can be controlled by infrared remote control to rotate forward or reverse and wake up to adjust itself to maintain the level.

[0024] Movable suspension column 9: A part that can make a slight rotation on the side plate 12. The belt 7 of the weight adjustment motor 6 drives the threaded screw 8 to feed and move back and forth. The movable suspension columns 9 on both sides share a threaded screw 8. The connection between the movable suspension column 9 and the threaded screw 8 is matched with the threaded screw 8 through a threaded hole. As the threaded screw 8 rotates, the two suspension columns are driven to swing back and forth.

[0025] The coordination relationship of the components of the self-adjusting center of gravity lifting core pulling machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0026] The propulsion mechanism 1 is arranged on the guide rail 5, and a driving motor is arranged inside the propulsion mechanism 1, which is connected with a transmission gear 3, and the transmission gear 3 is meshed with a transmission chain 14. A fixed pin 2 is arranged under the transmission shaft 4, and the fixed pin 2 passes through the gap of the transmission chain 14. The weight adjustment motor 6 is also arranged on the tail end of the guide rail 5, and the weight adjustment motor 6 is connected with a threaded screw 8 by a belt 7, and the threaded screw 8 is connected with a movable suspension column 9, and the movable suspension column 9 is suspended on the side plate 12 through a pin shaft. There is also a fixed suspension column 10 on the side plate 12, and the fixed suspension column 10 is not connected with the threaded screw 8, and the fixed suspension column 10 is fixedly connected with the side plate 12. The transverse structural plate 11 is connected to the guide rail 5, the side plate 12 and the threaded screw 8 at the same time, wherein the threaded screw 8 is connected to the transverse structural plate 11 through a bearing, and the transverse structural plate 11 is fixedly connected with the guide rail 5 and the side plate 12. There are lifting holes on both the movable suspension column 9 and the fixed suspension column 10, and the lifting rope passes through the lifting holes when the crane (not shown in the figure) lifts.

[0027] The specific use method of the lifting core pulling machine with self-adjusting center of gravity of the present invention is as follows:

[0028] The hoisting personnel firstly places the present invention horizontally, sends the tooling to the workstation of the guide rail 5 of the present invention, and places it in front of the propulsion mechanism 1, passes the lifting rope through the lifting holes of the fixed lifting column 10 and the movable lifting column 9 for lifting, and starts the weight-adjusting motor 6. During lifting, the weight-adjusting motor 6 will automatically rotate forward or reverse in the air as the core-pulling machine swings as a whole, thereby driving the threaded screw 8 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded screw 8 will drive the movable lifting column 9 to swing back and forth, thereby adjusting the lifting position of the lifting rope, so that the overall center of gravity of the core-pulling machine remains stable, and the axial swing of the tooling in the air is avoided. After the present invention stably places the hoisted tooling at the predetermined installation position, the propulsion mechanism 1 can be remotely controlled to move forward to send the tooling to the predetermined workstation.

[0029] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
