Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of construction equipment, and particularly relates to a safety lifting device for civil engineering projects. Background Technology

[0002] Civil engineering is a general term encompassing civil engineering and building engineering. It refers to the construction of various facilities and sites for human life, production, and protection activities. It covers the construction of buildings, structures, and engineering works within the scope of above-ground, underground, land, water, and underwater projects, including houses, roads, railways, airports, bridges, water conservancy projects, ports, tunnels, water supply and drainage systems, and protective structures. It includes both the technical activities of surveying, design, construction, maintenance, and management during the construction process, as well as the materials, equipment, and supplies consumed during construction. When constructing high-rise buildings, in addition to tower cranes, it is also necessary to install outdoor elevators capable of vertical lifting. Outdoor elevators are mainly used for lifting materials and workers and can be divided into single-column double-cage elevators, derrick elevators, and gantry elevators.

[0003] Currently, derrick hoists generally include a derrick, a hoisting cage located within the derrick, a controller located within the hoisting cage, a power mechanism and counterweight mechanism located outside the derrick, and a speed-differential fall arrestor connecting the hoisting cage and the derrick. Both the counterweight mechanism and the fall arrestor play a role in safe lifting and lowering, especially the fall arrestor, which can automatically activate upon detecting abnormal speed differences to achieve immediate braking. However, since the fall arrestor is the main braking component, after braking, some unstable factors within the hoisting cage can still cause it to slip a certain distance, thus the safety of the hoisting cage after braking needs improvement. Secondly, the connection between the hoisting cage and the landing platform is achieved by flipping the side door of the hoisting cage, but there is a lack of effective protection on both sides of the connection section, so the safety of personnel and materials moving between the landing platforms also needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned hoists, the present invention proposes a safety lifting device for civil engineering with reasonable design, high braking safety, high stopping safety and high grounding safety.

[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" appearing below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.

[0028] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0029] Examples, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a safety lifting device for civil engineering, including a hoist 1. A lifting cage 2 is installed within the hoist 1. The lifting cage 2 includes a base 21, a cage body 22, and a top plate 23 connected from bottom to top. A front door 24 and a rear door 25 are provided on the front and rear sides of the cage body 22. A controller 3 is installed within the lifting cage 2, and a fall arrestor 4 is installed on the lifting cage 2. A power mechanism 5 and a counterweight mechanism 6, connected to the lifting cage 2 via a pulley mechanism, are installed outside the hoist 1. The hoist 1, controller 3, fall arrestor 4, pulley mechanism, power mechanism 5, and counterweight mechanism 6 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Based on this, the top plate 23 of the present invention has a groove-shaped structure, which increases its contact area with the hoist 1. Furthermore, multiple U-shaped rods are installed on its four sides, with rollers on the U-shaped rods that roll in contact with the hoist 1, effectively improving the smoothness of the lifting cage 2's movement along the vertical direction of the hoist 1.

[0030] To improve the braking safety of this device, the lifting cage 2 provided by this invention is equipped with a secondary braking mechanism 7. The secondary braking mechanism 7 includes four symmetrically distributed sliding grooves 71 on the left and right sides of the top plate 23. The openings of the sliding grooves 71 face the inner side of the derrick 1. A sliding brake plate 72 is provided in the sliding groove 71. A brake rope 73 is provided at the bottom of the sliding brake plate 72, running from top to bottom through the cage body 22. A self-locking component 74 that cooperates with the brake rope 73 is provided inside the cage body 22. The bottom end of the brake rope 73 extends diagonally to the bottom center of the cage body 22. A storage box 75 is provided at the bottom center of the cage body 22. A brake activation component 76 is provided in the storage box 75. A guardrail mechanism 8 for connecting with the landing platform is provided on the outside of the derrick 1. The guardrail mechanism 8 serves as the connection mechanism between this device and the landing platform, which can effectively improve the safety of personnel and materials walking on the landing platform, thus ensuring high landing safety.

[0031] Specifically, the manual rotation of the brake activation component 76 pulls the brake rope 73, which moves vertically along the self-locking component 74. The self-locking component 74 provides anti-reverse braking to the brake rope 73, causing the brake rope 73 to pull the sliding brake plate 72 out of the slide groove 71 and into the structural gap of the derrick 1. In this way, the secondary braking mechanism 7 can be manually activated in case of long-distance slippage due to instability in the fall arrestor 4. For even greater safety, it can be manually activated directly after the fall arrestor 4 has automatically braked, avoiding delays in emergency braking due to delayed activation. The two braking mechanisms ensure the braking safety of this device in the derrick 1.

[0032] To improve the braking effect of the secondary braking mechanism 7, in addition to the self-locking component 74, the present invention also provides V-shaped compression springs 77 on both sides of the sliding brake plate 72. One end of the compression spring 77 is fixedly connected to the sliding brake plate 72, and the other end is a free end. The opening of the compression spring 77 faces the sliding brake plate 72. The compression spring 77 can ensure the accurate positioning of the sliding brake plate 72 under safe conditions. In the event of emergency braking by the brake rope 73 pulling the sliding brake plate 72, the compression spring 77 can wedge into the inner wall of the slide groove 71, increasing the friction of the sliding brake plate 72 in the slide groove 71 and preventing the sliding brake plate 72 from unsafely exiting the braking node.

[0033] To improve the utilization rate of the self-locking assembly 74, the self-locking assembly 74 provided by the present invention includes a self-locking can 741 connected to the cage 22, and a spring clamp 742 with an inverted conical structure is provided inside the self-locking can 741. The minimum inner diameter of the spring clamp 742 is always frictionally clamped with the brake rope 73, and the upward pulling force of the brake rope 73 will only make it clamp tighter and tighter with the spring clamp 742. Therefore, the self-locking assembly 74 can maintain good self-locking performance when unlocked without manual intervention.

[0034] Furthermore, the present invention provides a clamping thread on the inner wall of the spring collet 742, which helps to improve the clamping stability between the spring collet 742 and the brake rope 73. Simultaneously, the side of the spring collet 742 is provided with four evenly distributed variable-gap openings, and the bottom of the self-locking canister 741 is provided with a cross-shaped unlocking plate 743 that engages with the variable-gap openings. The cross-shaped unlocking plate 743 has a triangular cross-section, and the top of the self-locking canister 741 is provided with an unlocking hole 744 that communicates with its interior. By inserting a rod-shaped key into the unlocking hole 744 from top to bottom, the spring collet 742 can be moved downwards. The variable-gap opening of the spring collet 742 can wedge onto the cross-shaped unlocking plate 743, and the further downward the spring collet 742 moves, the wider its minimum clamping inner diameter is expanded, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking the spring collet 742 and the brake rope 73.

[0035] To improve the synchronous linkage effect of the brake actuation assembly on the brake ropes 73, the brake actuation assembly 76 provided by this invention includes a spindle 761, and a handwheel 762 is provided on the top of the spindle 761. Meanwhile, the top surface of the handwheel 762 does not protrude from the inner bottom surface of the lifting cage 2, but is instead recessed in the storage box 75. In an emergency, manually rotating the handwheel 762 can wind all the brake ropes 73 onto the spindle 761, and these brake ropes 73 will not automatically unwind when the self-locking assembly 74 is engaged.

[0036] In order to improve the safety of the brake rope 73 and extend its actual service life, the present invention provides diagonally distributed protective square tubes 9 at the bottom of the cage 22. The protective square tubes 9 are connected to the storage box 75 and are used to protect the brake rope 73.

[0037] To improve the safety of the device at the landing level, the guardrail mechanism 8 provided by this invention includes a U-shaped guardrail 81. A supporting square tube 82 is provided at the bottom of the guardrail 81, and a supporting plate 83 is provided inside the supporting square tube 82. A steel pipe 84 for connecting to the landing platform is provided at one end of the supporting plate 83, and a Z-shaped plate 85 that cooperates with the outer side of the guardrail is provided on the side of the supporting plate 83. The steel pipe 84 can be connected to the supporting platform using construction clamps or welding. The steel pipe 84 is welded to the supporting plate 83, and the supporting plate 83 simultaneously supports the bottom and sides of the guardrail. The guardrail provides protection on three sides, which helps improve the safety of personnel and materials moving between the derrick 1 and the landing platform.

[0038] To improve the grounding safety of this device, a buffer seat is provided at the bottom of the derrick 1, and multiple grounding springs 11 are provided at the bottom of the buffer seat 10. By designing the buffer seat 10 to increase its contact area with the bottom of the lifting cage 2, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the pressure exerted by the grounding springs 11 on the lifting cage 2, thereby providing a safe buffer for the moment of grounding of the lifting cage 2, and thus achieving the purpose of improving the grounding safety of this device.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
