Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of stacker protection devices, in particular to a stacker fall protection mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Warehousing logistics involves the storage, safekeeping, loading, unloading, and distribution of goods in self-built or leased warehouses and facilities. Logistics handling generally requires a stacker crane for point-to-point cargo transportation. A stacker crane is a specialized crane that uses a fork or skewer as a pickup mechanism to grab, transport, and stack unit loads in warehouses and workshops, or to remove and place unit loads from high-rise shelves. The use of a stacker crane reduces labor intensity and warehouse management costs.
[0003] At present, existing stackers generally use wire rope drums for lifting. When in use, the wire rope is in a taut and straightened state for a long time, and will experience repeated stretching and compression. Long-term use will cause metal fatigue, and the wire rope will easily crack or even break, causing the loading platform to overspeed or even fall when the stacker is lifting. Therefore, a stacker anti-fall mechanism is needed to protect the lifted cargo platform from falling, so as to avoid damage caused by the cargo platform falling or falling rapidly.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a stacker fall protection mechanism to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the cargo platform includes a first plywood, a second plywood, a carrier plate and hexagon socket screws. The first plywood and the second plywood are fixedly connected by multiple hexagon socket screws. The carrier plate is movably connected to the carrier plate. Three U-shaped holes are opened in the first plywood. Positioning columns are provided at the four corners of the upper end of the first plywood. First sliders are provided on the left and right sides of the first plywood.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, connecting grooves are symmetrically provided on the upper end of the second plywood, second sliders are provided on the left and right sides of the second plywood, three gap holes are provided on the second sliders, and positioning grooves are provided at the four corners of the lower end of the second plywood.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the positioning column on the upper end of the first plywood is engaged with the positioning groove at the lower end of the second plywood, and the three U-shaped holes opened in the first plywood are respectively connected to the three gap holes opened on the second sliders on the left and right sides of the second plywood.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the steel wire rope is provided with a thickened rope body, the thickened rope body is arranged in the U-shaped hole and the diameter of the thickened rope body is larger than the diameter of the gap hole.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a motor, a rotating shaft, an axle seat, a fixed frame and a reel. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft through a reducer. The other end of the rotating shaft is movably installed in the axle seat. Three reels are provided on the rotating shaft. Steel ropes are respectively connected to the three reels. The lower end of the motor is fixedly installed on the fixed frame. The fixed frame and the axle seat are both fixedly connected to the vertical frame.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the guide mechanism includes an axle frame, a fixed shaft and a guide wheel. The axle frame is fixedly connected to the top plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. When the present invention is in use, two motors are started simultaneously to drive the rotating shafts, and the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the reel to rotate. The direction of the motor is changed by the guide mechanism to tighten or loosen the wire rope. Under the action of the guide wheel, the wire rope enables the cargo platform to move up and down normally, and the wire ropes are located at the center of the two ends of the cargo platform to ensure that the tension on both sides of the cargo platform is balanced. The thickened rope body is locked inside the U-shaped hole provided in the cargo platform. Therefore, the wire rope and the thickened rope body move up and down synchronously. Since the diameter of the gap of the gap hole is smaller than the diameter of the thickened rope body, the thickened rope body located in the carrier plate is in a relaxed state, so that the thickened rope body does not bear the weight of the cargo platform. Therefore, the thickened rope body is usually in a placed state, and the thickened rope body will not bear the tension and compression brought by the cargo platform with high strength, so the protection of the wire rope is also improved, and the wire rope is not easy to crack or break.
[0018] 2. When the present invention is in use, the cargo platform is designed to be a detachable cargo platform consisting of a first plywood, a second plywood and a carrier plate. The detachable design of the first plywood and the second plywood facilitates the replacement of the steel wire rope inside after a certain period of use. It also facilitates regular inspection and maintenance of the steel wire rope or the cargo platform, and has good practicality. The guiding mechanism provided in the through groove can guide and limit the steel wire rope passing through the through groove, while avoiding sliding and friction with the through groove, thereby ensuring smooth lifting.

[0031] Example
[0032] See also Figure 1-9 The present invention provides the following technical solutions: a stacker fall protection mechanism includes a bottom plate 1, a vertical frame 2, a top plate 3, a cargo platform 4, a driving mechanism 5, a guide mechanism 6, a guide mechanism 7 and a wire rope 8.

Three wire ropes 8 are connected to the driving mechanism 5, and the other ends of the three wire ropes 8 pass through the through groove 301 from the guide mechanism 6, and then pass through the through groove 301 from the cargo platform 4, and then pass through the through groove 301 on the other side and the guide mechanism 6 to be connected to the driving mechanism 5 on the other side.
[0033] The cargo platform 4 includes a first plywood 401, a second plywood 402, a carrier plate 403 and hexagon socket screws 404. The first plywood 401 and the second plywood 402 are fixedly connected by multiple hexagon socket screws 404, and the carrier plate 403 is movably connected to the carrier plate 403.

[0035] A connecting block 4031 is symmetrically provided at the lower end of the carrier plate 403 , and the connecting block 4031 is movably engaged in the connecting groove 4021 .
[0036] The positioning column 4012 at the upper end of the first plywood 401 is engaged with the positioning groove 4024 at the lower end of the second plywood 402, and the three U-shaped holes 4011 opened in the first plywood 401 are respectively connected to the three gap holes 4023 opened on the second sliders 4022 on the left and right sides of the second plywood 402.

[0038] Through the above-mentioned connection design between the wire rope 8 and the cargo platform 4, the thickened rope body 801 is stuck in the U-shaped hole 4011, which can prevent the wire rope 8 from undergoing repeated stretching or compression, thereby preventing the wire rope 8 from cracking or breaking, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the cargo platform 4 from falling.
[0039] By designing the cargo platform 4 as a detachable structure consisting of a first plywood 401, a second plywood 402 and a carrier plate 403, it is convenient to inspect, repair or replace the wire rope 8 or the cargo platform 4 at a later time, thereby ensuring safety during use.
[0040] The driving mechanism 5 includes a motor 501, a rotating shaft 502, a shaft seat 503, a fixed frame 504 and a reel 505. The output end of the motor 501 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 502 through a reducer. The other end of the rotating shaft 502 is movably installed in the shaft seat 503. Three reels 505 are provided on the rotating shaft 502. The three reels 505 are respectively connected to steel ropes 8. The lower end of the motor 501 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 504. The fixed frame 504 and the shaft seat 503 are both fixedly connected to the vertical frame 2.
[0041] The motor 501 is a self-locking motor, and the driving mechanism 5 provided on the outside of the two uprights 2 can realize the simultaneous winding or loosening of the two ends of the three steel ropes 8, thereby realizing the lifting function of the cargo platform 4.
[0042] The guide mechanism 6 includes an axle frame 601, a fixed shaft 602 and a guide wheel 603. The axle frame 601 is fixedly connected to the top plate 3. The fixed shaft 602 is movably connected between the axle frames 601. Three guide wheels 603 are provided on the fixed shaft 602. The wire rope 8 passes around the guide wheels 603.
[0043] The guiding mechanism 7 includes a rotating rod 701 , a roller 702 and a bearing 703 . The bearings 703 are fixedly connected to both ends of the through slot 301 . The rotating rod 701 is movably mounted between the two bearings 703 , and the roller 702 is provided on the rotating rod 701 .
[0044] Three sets of limit plates 202 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the stand 2, and the three steel ropes 8 pass through the three limit plates 202 respectively.
[0045] The guiding mechanism 7 provided in the through slot 301 can guide and limit the steel wire rope 8 passing through the through slot 301, so that the steel wire rope 8 and the cargo platform 4 can maintain a vertical state. At the same time, it can reduce friction and make the lifting and lowering of the cargo platform 4 smoother.
[0046] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, two driving mechanisms 5 are started at the same time, and the torque is increased through the reducer to drive the rotating shaft 502, and the rotating shaft 502 drives the reel 505 to rotate, and the wire rope 8 is tightened or loosened by the rotation of the reel 505. Under the guidance of the guide mechanism 6 and the guide mechanism 7, the wire rope 8 enables the cargo platform 4 to move up and down normally, and the wire rope 8 is located at the center of the two ends of the side of the cargo platform 4, which can ensure that the tension on both sides of the cargo platform 4 is balanced, and the U-shaped hole 4011 in the cargo platform 4 and the second plywood 402 will thicken the wire rope 8. The rope body 801 is locked in the U-shaped hole 4011, so the wire rope 8 and the thickened rope body 801 move up and down synchronously, and the gap hole 4023 between 802 and the top of the U-shaped hole 4011 is utilized. The diameter of the gap hole 4023 is smaller than the diameter of the thickened rope body 801, so that the thickened rope body 801 does not bear the weight of the cargo platform 4, and the wire rope 8 located in the U-shaped hole 4011 is in a relaxed state. Therefore, the thickened rope body 801 is usually in a placed state, and the thickened rope body 801 will not bear the tension and compression brought by the cargo platform 4 with high strength, so the wire rope 8 is not easy to crack or break, thereby achieving the purpose of fall protection.
