The angle control mechanism controls the first hanging unit to disengage from the second hanging unit, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 will clamp the tooling. On the contrary, when the crane lowers the lifting ring 1, the lifting ring 1 drives the intermediate support shaft 6 to move downward in the guide groove 201, and the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotating shaft 12 becomes smaller. The angle control mechanism controls the first hanging unit to hang with the second hanging unit, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 will release the tooling.

[0040] Reference Figures 3-5 , an angle control mechanism is provided between the first hanging unit and the intermediate support shaft 6, and the angle control mechanism controls the swing angle of the first hanging unit on the intermediate support shaft 6.

The second mating protrusion 1702 is arranged on one side of the line connecting the first mating protrusion 1701 and the third mating protrusion 1703. A limiting wall is provided on the control hook 13 on the other side of the line connecting the first mating protrusion 1701 and the third mating protrusion 1703. The wedge block 18 is arranged between the first mating protrusion 1701 and the third mating protrusion 1703.

[0043] The angle adjustment boss 17 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 21 , and the fixed bracket 21 is in the shape of “6”. The control hook 13 and the two angle adjustment bosses 17 are arranged between the two fixed brackets 21 , and the control hook 13 and the angle adjustment bosses 17 are rotatably arranged on the intermediate support shaft 6 .

[0044] A control hook groove 1301 is provided at one end of the control hook 13 close to the angle adjustment boss 17, and the angle adjustment boss 17 is provided in the control hook groove 1301. A motion groove 1302 is provided on the upper side of the control hook groove 1301, the control hook groove 1301 is connected with the motion groove 1302, and the first matching protrusion 1701, the second matching protrusion 1702 and the third matching protrusion 1703 are provided in the motion groove 1302.

[0045] A follow-up limiting mechanism is provided between the angle adjustment boss 17 and the first lifting plate 301 and the second lifting plate 302. The follow-up limiting mechanism comprises a fixed bracket 21 and a follow-up limiting block 22. The follow-up limiting block 22 is fixedly arranged on the fixed bracket 21. The follow-up limiting block 22 is arranged on the upper side of the first lifting plate 301 or the second lifting plate 302. The side of the follow-up limiting block 22 is limited by the side of the lifting ring 1. When the intermediate support shaft 6 moves up and down in the guide groove 201, the bottom surface of the follow-up limiting block 22 is in close contact with the first lifting plate 301 or the second lifting plate 302, and the first lifting plate 301 or the second lifting plate 302 limits the follow-up limiting block 22.

[0046] The control hook 13 is connected to the fixed bracket 21 through a telescopic guide mechanism, and the telescopic guide mechanism includes a guide ring 14 and a guide column 15. The guide ring 14 is sleeved on the guide column 15. A pin hole is set at one end of the control hook 13, and one end of the guide ring 14 is rotatably installed in the pin hole through a pin. One end of the guide column 15 can be telescopically extended into the other end of the guide ring 14. An annular hole is set at the other end of the guide column 15. A pin shaft 19 is set to rotate with the fixed bracket 21. Two distance rings 16 are set between the annular hole and the fixed bracket 21, so that the guide column 15 can rotate freely between the two fixed brackets 21.

[0047] The second hooking unit is a hooking protrusion 23 matched with the control hook 13, and the second hooking unit is arranged on the first hook 10 or the second hook 20. In this embodiment, the hooking protrusion 23 is arranged on the second hook 20. The first hooking unit and the second hooking unit can be hooked to each other.

[0048] When using the present invention, the control hook 13 is cyclically located in four positions, corresponding to the four working states of the sling, and its working principle is as follows:

[0049] Reference Figure 6-7, the control hook 13 corresponds to the loose state of the sling when it is in position 1. The control hook 13 rotates around the intermediate support shaft 6. As the crane lifts the lifting ring 1, the control hook 13 swings down around the intermediate support shaft 6 due to the position of the center of gravity. The corresponding wedge block 18 also moves, the third limiting groove 1803 matches the first matching protrusion 1701, and the second limiting groove 1802 matches the second matching protrusion 1702. At this time, the swing angle of the control hook 13 is the largest, and the control hook 13 can hook the hooking protrusion 23, thus preventing the intermediate support shaft 6 from moving up, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 are in a loose state.

[0050] Reference Figures 8 and 9 , the control hook 13 in position 2 corresponds to the intermediate state 1 of the sling. As the crane lowers the lifting ring 1 from the loosened state of the sling, the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotary shaft 12 decreases until it is the minimum. At this time, the hooking protrusion 23 pushes the control hook 13 and the wedge 18 to the Fig. 9 The wedge block 18 is between the second mating protrusion 1702 and the third mating protrusion 1703, the first limiting groove 1801 matches the third mating protrusion 1703, and the second limiting groove 1802 is located between the second mating protrusion 1702 and the third mating protrusion 1703. In this state of the sling, the distance between the middle support shaft 6 and the rotary shaft 12 is the smallest, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 are in the middle state one.

[0051] Reference Figures 10-11 When the control hook 13 is in position three, it corresponds to the clamping state of the sling, that is, the lifting state of the workpiece. As the crane lifts the lifting ring 1 from the middle state of the sling, the control hook 13 swings down around the intermediate support shaft 6 under the action of the center of gravity, and the wedge block 18 moves along. The wedge block 18 is located between the limiting wall of the motion groove 1302 and the second matching protrusion 1702, and the third limiting groove 1803 coincides with the second matching protrusion 1702. One corner of the wedge block 18 presses against the limiting wall. Under this limiting control, the control hook 13 swings down at a smaller angle, and the control hook 13 cannot hook the hanging protrusion 23, so that the intermediate support shaft 6 can continue to be lifted upwards. As the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotating shaft 12 increases until it is maximum, the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 are in a clamped state.

[0052] Reference Figures 12-13, the control hook 13 corresponds to the intermediate state 2 of the sling when it is in position 4. As the crane lowers the lifting ring 1 from the clamping state of the sling, the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotating shaft 12 becomes smaller until it is the smallest. At this time, the hooking protrusion 23 pushes the control hook 13 and the wedge block 18 to the position shown in the figure. The wedge block 18 is located between the second matching protrusion 1702 and the third matching protrusion 1703, and the second limiting groove 1802 is consistent with the third matching protrusion 1703. When the sling is in this state, the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotating shaft 12 is also the smallest, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 are in the placement state 2. When the crane lifts the lifting ring 1 again, the control hook 13 returns to position 1, and the sling returns to the loosened state.

[0053] As the crane lifts and puts down the lifting ring 1, the position cycle of the control hook 13 and the wedge 18 is controlled, and the sling also cycles in four states. So the automatic lifting and putting down of the workpiece is realized.

[0054] When the control hook 13 is in position 2 and position 4, the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotary shaft 12 is the smallest. The difference between them is the different positions of the wedge block 18. Because the positions of the wedge block 18 are different, when the crane lifts next time, as the intermediate support shaft 6 moves up, the distance between it and the rotary shaft 12 increases, and the control hook 13 swings down at different angles. When the control hook 13 swings down from position 2 to position 3, the control hook 13 cannot hook the hooking protrusion 23, then the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotary shaft 12 will increase further to the maximum value, that is, the clamping state of the sling. When the control hook 13 is in position 4, when the crane lifts next time, the position of the control hook 13 swings down from position 4 to position 1, and the control hook 13 will hook the hooking protrusion 23, so that the intermediate support shaft 6 cannot continue to move up, and the distance between the intermediate support shaft 6 and the rotary shaft 12 will not continue to increase, and the sling is in a loose state.

[0055] Working process:

[0056] Reference Figures 6 to 13 When the crane lifts the lifting ring 1, as the intermediate support shaft 6 moves upward in the guide groove 201 on the positioning guide seat 2, one side of the hook of the control hook 13 will swing down around the center of the intermediate support shaft 6.

[0057] When the crane lifts the lifting ring 1, the intermediate support shaft 6 moves up to the top in the guide groove 201, the control hook 13 is completely separated from the hanging protrusion 23, and the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 clamp the tooling.

[0058] When the crane lifts the tooling to the specified position, it puts down the tooling, and the positioning platform 202 falls onto the tooling. When the crane lifts the lifting ring 1 again, the intermediate support shaft 6 moves up a small distance in the guide groove 201, and the control hook 13 hooks the hooking protrusion 23, and the intermediate support shaft 6 cannot move further up. At this time, the first grab hook 10 and the second grab hook 20 release the tooling.

[0059] Whether the control hook 13 can hook the hooking protrusion 23 depends on the position of the wedge block 18. When the crane lowers the lifting ring 1, if it is lowered from the position of releasing the clamp, that is, when the control hook 13 is at position one, the lifting device will come to the intermediate state one, and if it is lowered from the position of clamping the tooling, that is, when the control hook 13 is at position three, the lifting device will come to the intermediate state two.

[0060] Each time the lifting and lowering is performed, the control hook 13 is controlled by the angle control mechanism, the corresponding position changes cyclically, and the state of the lifting device also changes cyclically.

[0061] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the above disclosed technical content to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
