Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of crane lifting equipment technology, and specifically to a working method of a double-drum device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in actual crane lifting operations, the crane lifting equipment is used to lift or lower goods and is a crucial mechanism within the crane. Its performance directly affects the overall performance of the crane. Traditional cranes, due to their large overall weight, not only increase economic costs and waste space resources but also limit the crane's lifting range. Existing cranes are generally equipped with a drum device for winding wire ropes. However, when lifting items with high safety requirements, such as hydraulic pumps, a broken wire rope poses a safety hazard. To address this technical problem, Chinese patent application CN202011459785.0, published on April 27, 2021, discloses a double-drum crane lifting device, including a base, a drive assembly, a wire drum, and a cable drum. The base includes a first seat body and a second seat body. The first and second seats are spaced apart, with a weighing sensor between them. The second seat is slidably connected to the guide rail. A drive assembly is connected to the first seat. A wire reel and a cable reel are also present. The wire reel is connected to the drive assembly, and the cable reel is connected to the wire reel and driven synchronously by the drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the wire wound on the wire reel and the cable wound on the cable reel to connect with the lifting device to control the lifting device. The wire reel and cable reel are set separately and rotate synchronously, which reduces the number of wire reels and cable reels, thereby reducing the overall size of the crane. It also allows for the control of clamps at different heights for gripping operations, thus expanding the crane's application range. However, this device only uses a single wire rope drum for lifting, which is not very safe. Existing lifting equipment with two drums typically uses two drums connected in series to form a single drum, which is essentially a single drum. Both drums rotate simultaneously, making it impossible to use a single drum for lifting when two drums are not needed, thus increasing operating costs and wasting energy. In addition, this device cannot achieve horizontal movement at high altitudes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a working method for a double-roller device. During operation, the device moves along the crane boom, thereby conveniently moving goods to their destination. This method is easy to operate, highly efficient, and can improve operational efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a method for operating a double-roller device is provided. The double-roller device includes a wall frame, a traveling device, two parallel-arranged drums, a rope end fixing device, two drum drive motors, and a lower limit device. One end of the traveling device is fixedly connected to the wall frame. The traveling device is used to drive the wall frame to move on a rack and pinion on the crane boom and on a guide rail. The traveling device includes a traveling support, a pulley device, a traveling drive motor, a drive shaft, and a pin assembly. The pulley device includes a traveling pulley device and a lateral pulley device. The traveling pulley device is mounted on the traveling support, and the lateral pulley device... The travel pulley device is located at one end away from the travel support. The fixed end of the travel drive motor is located on one side of the pin device. The output shaft of the travel drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft. A gear that travels on a rack is provided on the drive shaft. The other end of the drive shaft is rotatably connected to a bearing. The pin device is fixedly connected to the wall frame. The lower limit device includes a pressure roller, a spring device, and a lower limit travel switch. The lower limit support is installed on both sides of the pressure roller. The spring device is located on both sides of the pressure roller. One end of the spring device is connected to the... The lower limit bracket is connected, and the other end of the spring device is connected to one end of the pressure roller. The lower limit bracket is connected to both ends of the pressure roller via the spring device. The lower limit travel switch is disposed on the lower limit bracket on one side of the pressure roller. The spring device is movably disposed between the lower limit travel switch and both ends of the pressure roller. The spring device includes a spring. When the spring is in its natural state, the pressure roller is in contact with the drum, and the lower limit travel switch is activated. When the spring is compressed, one end of the travel switch is connected to the spring device, triggering the lower limit travel switch to deactivate. The pressure roller has [missing information - likely related to a specific device or feature]. The device has an inclined section that is tilted upward and inward. The wall frame is located at both ends of the drum, and both ends of the drum are rotatably connected to the wall frame. The drum drive motor is located on the wall frame at one end of the drum, and the output end of the drum drive motor is connected to one end of the drum. A gap is provided between the two drums. The pressure roller is located in the gap between the drums, and the two drums are symmetrically arranged with respect to the pressure roller. The pressure roller is connected to the two drums respectively. The lower limit bracket is fixedly connected to the upper end of the wall frame. The rope end fixing device is located at one end of the drum. The specific steps include: (1) Pre-set guide rails and racks on the crane boom, and install the traveling device on the guide rails and racks of the crane boom; when it is necessary to adjust the position of the double roller device, the traveling drive motor rotates and drives the drive shaft to rotate, the gear on the drive shaft moves on the rack, and the pulley device moves on the guide rail, so as to move the double roller device to the target position. (2) Install the wire rope end onto the fixed rope end fixing device; (3) Start the drum drive motor, determine the working mode and work according to the corresponding working mode. The working modes include: single drum mode and double drum mode; The single-roller mode includes the following steps: (3.1.1) Install the wire rope end on the fixed rope end fixing device, and wind part of the wire rope along the rope groove on the drum onto a drum, while a wire rope is provided between the pressure roller and a drum; (3.1.2) One drum is driven by a drive motor to rotate, while the other drum does not rotate; (3.1.2.1) When a drum rotates in one direction, the wire rope on one drum gradually winds around the drum along the rope groove on the drum, thereby realizing the winding of the wire rope; (3.1.2.2) When a drum rotates in opposite directions, the wire rope on one drum gradually disengages from the other drum along the rope groove on the drum, thus releasing the wire rope. When the wire rope on one drum reaches the preset lower limit position, the pressure roller connects with the surfaces of the two drums, thereby pressing down and driving the spring device to move down, thus activating the lower limit limit switch and controlling the wire rope on one drum to stop releasing the rope. The dual-roller mode includes the following steps: (3.2.1) Part of the wire rope is wound around the two drums along the rope groove on the drum, and at the same time, a wire rope is provided between the pressure roller and the two drums; (3.2.2) The two drums are driven synchronously by a drum drive motor, and the two drums rotate in opposite directions; (3.2.2.1) When one drum rotates in one direction and the other drum rotates in the other direction, the wire ropes on the two drums gradually wind around the two drums along the rope grooves on the drums, thereby realizing the winding of the wire ropes; (3.2.2.2) When one drum rotates in the opposite direction and the other drum rotates in the opposite direction, the wire ropes on the two drums gradually disengage from the two drums along the rope grooves on the drums, thereby releasing the wire ropes. When the wire ropes on the two drums reach the preset lower limit position, the pressure roller connects with the surface of the two drums, thereby pressing down and driving the spring device to move down, thereby activating the lower limit limit switch and controlling the wire rope to stop releasing the rope.

[0005] The above configuration involves a traveling device fixedly connected to the wall frame via a pin mechanism. A pulley system is mounted on a guide rail for positioning the traveling device. A traveling drive motor rotates the drive shaft, and the gear on the drive shaft moves along a rack. When the rack and guide rail are mounted on the crane boom, the double-drum device can move horizontally along the crane boom's guide rail. This configuration offers good stability and ease of operation, eliminating the need for manual position adjustments. Two drums are arranged side-by-side on the wall frame, allowing two steel wire ropes to be wound onto them. This design prevents safety issues caused by the breakage of one wire rope. A pressure roller contacts both drums, and a corresponding drum drive mechanism is mounted on the wall frame at one end of each drum. The motor drives the drum to rotate. By installing pressure rollers in the gap between the drums, the wire rope can be lowered or raised stably and orderly, avoiding tangling. Furthermore, by pressing the two drums together with a pressure roller, during rope unwinding, the wire rope is wound around the drum via a rope end fixing device. When both drums reach the lower limit position, the pressure roller contacts the drum, causing the spring to return to its natural state, thus activating the lower limit travel switch and stopping the unwinding action. Rope unwinding control can be achieved with only a single lower limit device, resulting in a simple structure and resource conservation. Additionally, since each drum is driven by a corresponding drum drive motor, it can operate with a single drum or both drums simultaneously, further simplifying the structure and saving costs.

[0006] Furthermore, there are two or more traveling supports, including traveling support one and traveling support two, which are respectively mounted on the pulley device and are arranged in parallel; there are two or more wall frames, including wall frame one and wall frame two, which are respectively mounted at both ends of the drum and are arranged in parallel; the drum drive motor is mounted on the wall frame two at the end away from the rope head fixing device; and a gearbox mounting plate is provided on the wall frame two. Step (1) specifically includes installing the walking pulley device on the walking bracket onto the guide rail, then meshing the gear on the drive shaft with the rack, and then connecting the lower end of the walking bracket of the walking device to the wall frame of the double roller device through a pin.

[0007] The above configuration, by setting the first and second traveling supports in parallel, allows the pulley device to be mounted on the traveling supports, thereby enabling the pulley device to move horizontally on the guide rail; by mounting the motor on the second wall frame, the drum can be driven to rotate by the drum drive motor; by setting a gearbox mounting plate on the second wall frame, a gearbox can be mounted on the gearbox mounting plate, thereby slowing down the rotation of the drum.

[0008] Furthermore, the pin device includes two connecting vertical plates on the walking bracket, a connecting plate on the wall frame, a fixing plate on one side of the connecting vertical plates, and a pin. The connecting vertical plates and the connecting plate are provided with connecting holes corresponding to the pin. The connecting plate is set between the connecting vertical plates and the pin passes through the connecting holes of the connecting vertical plates and the connecting plate. The pin is provided with a notch on one side of the connecting vertical plate, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected in the notch. In step (1), connecting the lower end of the walking bracket of the walking device to the wall frame of the double roller device through the pin includes inserting the connecting plate on the wall frame between the two connecting vertical plates, then inserting the pin into the connecting hole on the connecting plate and the connecting vertical plate, and then placing the fixing plate on the notch of the pin and fixing it with screws.

[0009] The above setup involves inserting a connecting plate between two connecting vertical plates, then connecting them via a pin, and finally securing them with a fixing plate. This facilitates operation and allows for easy disassembly of the connection between the traveling bracket and the wall frame while ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two or more lower limit brackets, including lower limit bracket one and lower limit bracket two. Lower limit bracket one and lower limit bracket two are respectively arranged on both sides of the pressure roller, and lower limit bracket one and lower limit bracket two are arranged in parallel. Lower limit bracket one and lower limit bracket two are fixedly installed on the steel plate by bolts.

[0011] The above configuration, by mounting brackets on both sides of the pressure roller, allows for the installation of connecting spring devices and limit switches.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure roller includes a pressure roller body and a pressure roller skin. Bearings are provided at both ends of the pressure roller body, and a rotating shaft passes through the interior of the pressure roller body through the bearings. Both ends of the rotating shaft are respectively connected to one end of the spring device. The pressure roller skin is fixed to the surface of the pressure roller body by screws. The pressure roller skin includes a pressure roller skin body, and inclined portions are provided on both sides of the pressure roller skin body. The cross-section of the pressure roller skin is circular, and the cross-section of the pressure roller body is circular. One end of the inclined portion is connected to the surface of the pressure roller body, and the other end of the inclined portion is connected to the surface of the pressure roller skin. The cross-sectional radius of the pressure roller skin body is larger than the cross-sectional radius of the pressure roller body.

[0013] The above configuration involves mounting bearings at both ends of the pressure roller body, allowing the rotating shaft to pass through the interior of the pressure roller body and thus enabling the pressure roller to rotate. The rotating shaft is connected to one end of a spring device, ensuring the pressure roller presses firmly against the drum surface when the wire rope is not wound around it. Inclined sections at both ends of the pressure roller body facilitate the wire rope's entry from both ends under the pressure roller during its ascent, lifting the roller and separating it from the drum. This prevents the wire rope from getting stuck on the roller's steps, thus improving operational efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two or more spring devices arranged parallel to both sides of the pressure roller. Each spring device includes a guide seat, a spacer, a support rod, a spring, and a support rod seat. The guide seat is fixed to the lower limit bracket by bolts. A through hole is provided at one end of the guide seat away from the lower limit bracket. The spacer is provided at both ends of the through hole on the guide seat. The support rod passes through the through hole on the guide seat. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the support rod seat, and the other end of the support rod is fixedly connected to one end of the lower limit limit switch through a steel plate. The spring is sleeved on the end of the support rod connected to the bearing end of the pressure roller. One end of the spring is connected to the guide seat, and the other end of the spring is connected to the support rod seat.

[0015] The above setup, by connecting the support rod to the support rod seat and installing a spring sleeve on the end of the support rod connected to the support rod seat, allows the pressure roller to reset when the drum is not wound with wire rope, so that the pressure roller presses tightly against the drum surface, recognizing that the wire rope has reached the lower limit position.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the lower limit limit switch is connected to the support rod of the spring device via a steel plate, and the other end of the lower limit limit switch is fixed to the lower limit bracket by bolts. The support rod seat includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate, which are arranged vertically. The first fixing plate has a support rod mounting hole at the position corresponding to the support rod. One end of the support rod is fixedly installed in the support rod mounting hole, and the other end of the support rod is provided with a limit bolt. The second fixing plate has a rotating shaft mounting hole, and a limit post is provided on one side of the rotating shaft mounting hole.

[0017] The above setup, by connecting the lower limit travel switch to the support rod of the spring device, allows the signal of the wire rope reaching the lower limit position to be transmitted to the control system, thereby preventing the drum from lowering. By fixing one end of the support rod to the support rod seat and then fixing one end of the shaft to the support rod seat through the limit post, the shaft will not rotate. A bearing is installed between the shaft and the pressure roller, allowing the pressure roller to rotate, thus reducing friction between the drum and the pressure roller. In addition, when the pressure roller is lifted, the support rod seat is lifted, and then the support rod moves upward to contact the travel switch. The limit bolt on the other end of the support rod prevents the support rod from disengaging from the guide seat when it moves downward, resulting in good structural stability.

[0018] Furthermore, the rope end fixing device includes a fixing member, which is provided with a rope groove that matches the wire rope and a countersunk hole that matches the end of the wire rope. The rope groove is located on the top of the fixing member, and the countersunk hole is located inside the fixing member. One end of the rope groove is connected to the countersunk hole and one side of the fixing member, and the other end of the rope groove is connected to the other side of the fixing member. The bottom of the fixing member is provided with a connecting surface. Step (2) specifically includes installing and fixing the wire rope end. The wire rope end fixing device specifically includes placing the wire rope through the opening of the rope groove into the rope groove, then sliding the wire rope along the rope groove into the inside of the rope end fixing device, and then inserting the wire rope end forward and inward into the countersunk hole inside the rope end fixing device to lock it in place, thereby quickly installing and fixing the wire rope end. In step (3.2.2.1), one direction is either clockwise or counterclockwise, and in step (3.2.2.2), the opposite direction is either counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0019] The above setup, by providing a rope groove at the top of the fixing component that matches the rope, and a countersunk hole inside the fixing component that matches the rope end, with one end of the rope groove connected to the countersunk hole and the other end connected to the side, allows the wire rope to slide into the fixing component through the rope groove at the top during installation. Then, the rope end is inserted forward into the countersunk hole inside the fixing component, achieving rapid installation and fixing of the wire rope end. For rope disassembly, simply remove the rope end from the countersunk hole inside the fixing component and then remove the rope through the rope groove at the top of the fixing component. This enables rapid installation and disassembly of the rope, improving work efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the side surfaces on both sides of the top surface of the fastener are arc-shaped. A protrusion is provided on one side of the fastener. The countersunk hole is located inside the fastener on the side near the protrusion. A tapered hole is provided at the end of the countersunk hole near the protrusion. The diameter of the tapered hole is larger than the diameter of the countersunk hole. An inclined portion is provided on the other side of the fastener near the countersunk hole, corresponding to the protrusion. The inclined portion is positioned outward and upward relative to the axis of symmetry of the countersunk hole. A first inclined portion is also provided on the protrusion, which is positioned outward and upward relative to the axis of symmetry of the countersunk hole. The cross-section of the countersunk hole is arc-shaped. One end of the countersunk hole is connected to the end of the fastener near the protrusion, and the other end of the countersunk hole is connected to one end of the rope groove. The angle between the axis of symmetry of the countersunk hole and the axis of symmetry of the rope groove is 170°-175°.

[0021] The above design incorporates several features. First, the side surfaces of the fixing component are curved, facilitating welding between the bottom of the fixing component and the curved equipment. This also allows the wire rope to slide out of the rope groove and be wound. A protrusion on one side of the fixing component prevents the wire rope from being pulled out and smoothly entering other equipment for winding. A tapered hole further stabilizes the rope end. The inclined sections at both ends of the fixing component near the fixing hole guide the rope's movement as it enters other winding equipment after exiting the rope groove. The arc-shaped cross-section of the countersunk hole allows the rope to be accommodated within it, thus securing the rope end. The countersunk hole, located inside the fixing component and connected to the rope groove on the fixing component, allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the rope. Finally, a small angle is formed between the axis of symmetry of the countersunk hole and the axis of symmetry of the rope groove, restricting the rope's movement after it is placed in the countersunk hole and preventing it from being pulled out of the rope groove too quickly.

[0022] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the rope groove is set to U-shape, one side of the opening of the rope groove is located on the upper end face of the fixing member, the opening size of the rope groove matches the diameter of the wire rope, and the height of the end of the rope groove connected to the countersunk hole from the bottom of the fixing member is higher than the height of the end of the rope groove away from the countersunk hole from the bottom of the fixing member.

[0023] The above configuration, by setting the cross-sectional shape of the rope groove to U-shape and connecting one side of the rope groove opening to the upper end face of the fixing member, facilitates the wire rope to slide into or out of the rope groove; the end of the rope groove connected to the countersunk hole is higher than the end of the rope groove away from the countersunk hole, which allows the wire rope to be tightened along the lower end of the rope groove, thereby improving the utilization rate of the wire rope.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0035] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for operating a double-roller device. The double-roller device includes a wall frame, a traveling device, two parallel-arranged drums, a rope end fixing device 9, two drum drive motors 27, and a lower limit device 15. There are two or more wall frames; in this embodiment, there are two wall frames, including wall frame one 7 and wall frame two 11. Wall frame one 7 and wall frame two 11 are respectively located at both ends of the drums and are arranged in parallel. The drum drive motors 27 are mounted on wall frame two 11 at the end furthest from the rope end fixing device 9. A gearbox mounting plate 12 is provided on wall frame two 11. In this embodiment, the two drums are a left-handed drum 21 and a right-handed drum 22. The traveling device includes a traveling bracket, a pulley device, a traveling drive motor 6, and a pin device 4. There are two or more traveling brackets, including traveling bracket one 3 and traveling bracket two 1. 7. The first walking bracket 3 and the second walking bracket 17 are respectively provided with walking pulley devices 18, and the first walking bracket 3 and the second walking bracket 17 are arranged in parallel. The pulley device includes the walking pulley device 18 and the side pulley device 2. The walking pulley device 18 is set on the walking bracket, and the side pulley device 2 is set on the end of the walking pulley device 18 away from the walking bracket. One end of the walking drive motor 6 is installed on the outside of a pin shaft device 4, and the other end of the walking drive motor 6 is installed on a motor bracket 20. The motor bracket 20 is fixed on the wall frame. The output shaft end of the walking drive motor 6 is connected to one end of the drive shaft 16. The drive shaft 16 is provided with a gear 26 that travels on a rack 25. The other end of the drive shaft 16 is rotatably connected to a bearing 19. The bearing 19 is set on the upper end of the pin shaft device 4. The pin shaft device 4 is fixedly connected to the wall frame through pins.

[0036] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two pin devices 4, which are respectively set at both ends of the walking bracket. Each pin device 4 includes two connecting vertical plates 411 set on the walking bracket, a connecting plate 412 set on the wall frame, a fixing plate 413 located on one side of the connecting vertical plate 411, and a pin 414. The connecting vertical plate and the connecting plate are provided with connecting holes corresponding to the pin. The connecting plate is set between the connecting vertical plates and the pin passes through the connecting holes of the connecting vertical plate and the connecting plate. The pin is provided with a notch 415 on one side of the connecting vertical plate, and the fixing plate 414 is fixedly connected in the notch.

[0037] When it is necessary to fix the traveling bracket to the wall frame, the connecting plate is inserted between the two connecting vertical plates, and then the connection is achieved by the pin. In addition, it is fixed by the fixing plate, which makes it easy to disassemble the connection between the traveling bracket and the wall frame while ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, an upper limit device 10 is provided. The two ends of the upper limit device 10 are connected to a wall frame 7 and a wall frame 11, respectively. The upper limit device 10 includes an upper limit limit switch 101, a first wire rope 102, and a counterweight 103. The first wire rope 102 is connected to the upper limit limit switch 101, and when the first wire rope 102 is in a taut state, the upper limit limit switch 101 is in a non-operating state. The other end of the first wire rope 102 is connected to the counterweight 103. The wire rope on the drum passes through the counterweight 103 and is connected to the hook. When the hook rises to the upper limit device 10, the hook presses against the counterweight 103, thereby causing the first wire rope 102 connected to the upper limit limit switch 101 to be in a slack state. Thus, the upper limit limit switch 101 controls the lifting operation to stop the lifting operation. The control of the upper limit limit switch 101 to stop the lifting operation is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the lower limit device 15 includes a pressure roller, a spring device, and a lower limit limit switch 1511. The lower limit bracket includes a lower limit bracket one 151 and a lower limit bracket two 159. The lower limit bracket one 151 and the lower limit bracket two 159 are respectively disposed on both sides of the pressure roller, and the lower limit bracket one 151 and the lower limit bracket two 159 are arranged parallel to each other. One end of the lower limit bracket one 151 and one end of the lower limit bracket two 159 are fixedly mounted on the steel plate 158 by bolts. The other end of the lower limit bracket 151 and the other end of the lower limit bracket 2 159 are fixedly installed on the pad 1510 by bolts. Two or more spring devices are provided, arranged parallel to both sides of the pressure roller. Each spring device includes a guide seat 155, a spacer 156, a support rod 157, a spring 1512, and a support rod seat 1513. The guide seat 155 is fixed to the lower limit bracket by bolts. A through hole is provided at the end of the guide seat 155 away from the lower limit bracket. The spacer 156 is... The support rod 157 is placed at both ends of the through hole on the guide seat 155. One end of the support rod 157 is fixedly connected to the support rod seat 1513, and the other end of the support rod 157 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower limit travel switch 1511 through the steel plate 158. The spring 1512 is sleeved on the end of the support rod 157 that is connected to the end of the pressure roller bearing. One end of the spring 1512 is connected to the guide seat 155, and the other end of the spring 1512 is connected to the support rod seat 1513.
