[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes an adjustable hook group, including a top frame 1 and an adjustment platform 2 connected in series by a lifting rope 4, and a hook assembly 3 detachably connected to the lifting rope 4, the four forming an adjustable two-section structure; the top frame 1 is connected to the lifting end of the crane; the reel-in 102 for controlling the length of the lifting rope 4 is arranged on the top frame 1; the adjustment platform 2 is connected to the bottom of the top frame 1, and includes an adjustment cylinder 203 connected to the top frame 1; the chassis 202 is located at the bottom of the adjustment cylinder 203; multiple groups of adjustment members 201 are arranged along the outer periphery of the chassis 202 for the lifting rope 4 to pass through one by one, and the adjustment members 201 adjust the direction of the lifting rope 4 to adjust the lifting position by rotating and extending, and form a claw-shaped lifting structure for gripping and lifting; the hook assembly 3 is connected to the bottom of the lifting rope 4 in a one-to-one and detachable manner; the two groups of lifting members 302 are driven to rotate in opposite directions by the driving member 303; the lifting member 2 306 is driven by the driving member 303 to rise and fall synchronously between the two groups of lifting members 302.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the top frame 1 includes a frame body 101 with a hook; multiple groups of rolling pieces 102 are dispersedly arranged at the bottom of the frame body 101; after the hanging ropes 4 are positioned by the positioning rollers 104, they are wound around the rolling pieces 102 one by one.

[0039] It should be further explained that the reeling member 102 is composed of a reeling motor and a reeling roller, which reels the lifting ropes 4 one by one and maintains the balance of the hoisted objects by adjusting the length of the lifting ropes 4.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment cylinder 203 includes a cylinder 20302 connected to the frame body 101 through the connecting frame 103; the cylinder 20302 is hollow, and is provided with a rope inlet hole 20304 for the suspension rope 4 to pass through and a rope outlet hole 20303 for the suspension rope 4 to pass through, and the bottom is connected to the chassis 202 through the base 20301.

[0041] It should be further explained that a plurality of channels corresponding to the sling ropes 4 are provided in the cylinder 20302 for the sling ropes 4 to pass through so as to position the sling ropes 4, thereby reducing the entanglement of the sling ropes 4 and facilitating subsequent adjustments.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting member 201 includes a through-tube 20101 rotatably arranged on the chassis 202; the through-tube 20101 is driven to rotate by a motor 1; the extension sleeve 20102 is driven by a cylinder 1 20103 and moves at the rope outlet end of the through-tube 20101.

[0043] The lifting rope 4 passes through the through-tube 20101 and the extension sleeve 20102, and bends synchronously with their rotation. For example, in a two-stage structure, the rotation of the through-tube 20101 and the extension sleeve 20102 can cause the lifting rope 4 to bend synchronously, adjusting the distance between the multiple sets of hook assemblies 3 and, consequently, changing the lifting position. When the hook assemblies 3 are removed, the through-tube 20101 and the extension sleeve 20102 rotate to form a claw-like lifting structure, enabling the gripping and lifting of certain unique transport objects.

[0044] It should be further explained that a circle of clamping strips 20104 for limiting the position of the sling 4 is provided on the inner wall of the extension sleeve 20102, and a circle of pressure sensors 20105 is provided on the outer wall.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer periphery of the chassis 202 is provided with grooves 205 for the adjustment members 201 to be installed in a one-to-one correspondence; and the corresponding level detectors 204 are provided around the grooves 205 .

[0046] During the hoisting process, the length of the hoisting rope 4 in different directions is adjusted in combination with the detection result of the level detector 204, and the angle and length of the adjustment member 201 in different directions are adjusted to maintain the levelness of the transported object.

[0047] like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the hook assembly 3 includes a hanger 301 that is detachably connected to the lifting rope 4; the lifting part 302 includes a rotating shaft 30201 rotatably set on the hanger 301 and a hook body 30202 located on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 30201, and the two constitute a G-shaped structure; during lifting, the opening and closing of the lifting space can be adjusted by rotating the G-shaped structure to improve the safety of lifting.

[0048] like Figure 10 As shown, the hook body 30202 has a slot 30203 formed on its arc-shaped outer wall. The driving member 303 includes a rotating screw 30303. The driving seat 30301 is threadedly connected to the screw 30303 to achieve vertical movement and is located between the two sets of hook bodies 30202. The racks 30302 are provided on both sides of the driving seat 30301 and engage with the slots 30203 on the corresponding sides.

[0049] Motor 2 30304 drives lead screw 30303 to rotate, causing drive base 30301 to move up and down. As drive base 30301 moves up, the lifting opening increases, allowing the container's hanging end to fit in. Then, as drive base 30301 moves down, the lifting opening decreases, preventing the hanging end from falling.

[0050] like Figure 10 As shown, the second hoisting component 306 includes a hoisting frame 30601 connected to the base of the driving seat 30301; the hoisting frame 30601 is a horizontal U-shaped structure, and the inner wall is provided with a clamping airbag 30602 whose inflation and deflation are controlled by an air pump.

[0051] The U-shaped lifting frame 30601 can be used to position plate-like objects for transport. When the drive base 30301 moves downward, the lifting opening becomes smaller, and the lifting frame 30601 extends, allowing the plate-like object to be lifted. Furthermore, inflating the clamping airbag 30602 increases the clamping strength of the plate, ensuring its stability during transport.

[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, a locking block 304 is also provided on the hanger 301; the locking block 304 includes a block body 30401; the block body 30401 is provided with a positioning groove 1 30402 for positioning the bent section of the hook body 30202, and a positioning groove 2 30403 for positioning the arcuate end of the hook body 30202.

[0053] The first positioning groove 30402 cooperates with the tail of the hook body 30202; the second positioning groove 30403 cooperates with the head of the hook body 30202; the hook body 30202 can be positioned by rotating forward and backward.

[0054] like Figure 12 As shown, a mounting head 206 is provided at the bottom of the lifting rope 4; a mounting tube 305 is provided at the top of the hanging frame 30601; when the hook body 30202 or the hanging frame 30601 needs to be used, the mounting head 206 is inserted into the mounting tube 305 and then fixed with bolts and nuts.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] This embodiment provides a dock hoisting method, using the adjustable hook assembly in the first embodiment. The specific steps are as follows:

[0057] S1. Connect the frame 101 to the hook of the crane;

[0058] S2. By rotating the through-tube 20101, the extension sleeve 20102 is extended and retracted, driving the lifting rope 4 to bend synchronously, and adjusting the distance between the multiple hook assemblies 3 so that the hook assemblies 3 match the size of the container;

[0059] S3. The drive seat 30301 moves upward, and the rack 30302 engages with the corresponding slot 30203. The lifting opening of the hook body 30202 increases, allowing it to engage with the hanging end of the container (for example, the hanging ear on the container body). Then, the drive seat 30301 moves downward, and the rack 30302 engages with the corresponding slot 30203. The lifting opening of the hook body 30202 decreases, enclosing the hanging ear on the container body.

[0060] S4. As the driving seat 30301 moves downward, the hoisting frame 30601 extends and clamps the top edge of the container. The clamping airbag 30602 is inflated to increase the clamping strength of the plate.

[0061] S5. Lift the container; during the lifting process, the length of the lifting rope 4 in different directions is adjusted according to the detection results of the level detector 204, and the angle and length of the adjustment member 201 in different directions are adjusted to maintain the level of the container.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] This embodiment proposes another dock hoisting method, using the adjustable hook assembly in the first embodiment. The specific steps are as follows:

[0064] S1. Connect the frame 101 to the hook of the crane;

[0065] S2. Remove the bolts and nuts to separate the mounting head 206 and the mounting cylinder 305;

[0066] S3. By rotating the through-tube 20101, the extension sleeve 20102 is extended and retracted to form a claw-like structure, shortening the sling rope 4, so that the installation head 206 is retracted into the extension sleeve 20102;

[0067] S4. The claw-like structure grasps special transport items (such as broken containers, small equipment) and lifts them.

[0068] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
