Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example:

The first chain link connector 14 and the second chain link connector 21 are suitable for being installed on a guide rail or a hanging point to support the balancing hanging equipment in the workplace. A first pulley 16 and a second pulley 19 are movably installed in the first cavity 4, respectively. The first pulley 16 and the second pulley 19 are respectively located at the two ends of the first cavity 4, and a steel cable 17 is movably connected to the outer sides of the first pulley 16 and the second pulley 19. One end of the steel cable 17 passes through the first shell 2 and extends outward, and a hook 18 is fixedly installed on the protruding end of the steel cable 17.

[0026] The two ends of the balance crane body are closed by a first end cover 7 and a second end cover 8.

[0027] In this embodiment, an air intake connecting valve 13 is provided in the connecting cover 6, a first connecting valve 12 is provided on the first end cover 7, and a second connecting valve 22 is provided on the second end cover 8. The air intake connecting valve 13 and the first connecting valve 12 are both connected to the second cavity 5, and the second connecting valve 22 is connected to the first cavity 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first guide ring 10 and a piston sealing ring 11 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the piston rod 9 in the second cavity 5, and the first guide ring 10 and the piston sealing ring 11 are both slidably connected to the inner wall of the second cavity 5. A second guide ring 15 is provided on the outer wall of the piston rod 9 in the first cavity 4, and the second guide ring 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first cavity 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the piston rod 9 is located at one end of the first cavity 4 and fixedly connected to the first pulley 16. A steel cable end 20 is provided at the end of the steel cable 17. The steel cable end 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second end cover 8 facing the first cavity 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first pulley 16, the second pulley 19 and the steel cable 17 form a pulley block, and the steel cable 17 is wound around the first pulley 16 and the second pulley 19 and rotates about an axis that is substantially aligned.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air intake connecting valve 13 is connected to an air pressure source.

[0032] When the piston rod 9 moves along the central axis in the second cavity 5 , toward or away from the first end cover 7 , the steel cable 17 extends out of or retracts from the first cavity 4 .

[0033] The structure of the first pulley 16 and the second pulley 19 allows the pulley-carrying steel cable 17 to be wound and extended from the balance crane. The length of the first cavity 4 is determined by the number of turns of the steel cable 17 wound around the first pulley 16 and the second pulley 19.

[0034] An air intake connecting valve 13 is provided in the connecting cover 6, and the air intake valve is connected to a compressed air source. The compressed air enters or is discharged, thereby pushing the piston rod 9 in the second cavity 5 to move toward one end or the other end.

[0035] The first connecting valve 12 on the first end cover 7 and the second connecting valve 22 on the second end cover 8 provide gas exchange between the second cavity 5 and the first cavity 4 and the outside, and reduce noise.

[0036] The first cavity 4 is connected to the atmosphere, while the second cavity 5 is a closed cavity formed by a sealing ring 23 and a first end cover 7 .

[0037] The piston rod 9 is installed in the second cavity 5 and is sealed in the cavity. The connection is provided with a spaced sealing ring 23 to seal the chamber and prevent the gas from communicating with the left and right sides of the second cavity 5 through the piston rod 9. The piston rod 9 is connected to the first pulley 16 in the first cavity 4 so that the first pulley 16 can move synchronously with the movement of the piston rod 9.

[0038] The air inlet connecting valve 13 can be replaced with a servo control valve to achieve full-stroke floating balance of a single weight; by adding an UP / DN control valve, a large stroke can be achieved by pressing a button, and floating balance within a certain range can be achieved at any position.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: by controlling the air inlet connecting valve 13, the compressed gas of the air source is injected into the second cavity 5 of the balancing crane, and the piston rod 9 can move axially in the second cavity 5 to extend and retract the steel cable 17, and to lift, lower or maintain the load (not shown) on the hook 18 connected to the head end of the steel cable 17 at the desired position. Adjusting the pressure on both sides of the piston rod 9 can play the role of lifting and lowering the load.

[0040] In addition, due to the compressibility of the gas in the second cavity 5 and the relationship between the movable pulley group and the force amplification factor, by applying a very small downward or upward operating force on the weight by hand, the workpiece can be moved downward or upward. After letting go, the weight can return to its original position, thereby achieving a balanced floating effect of the workpiece. This "balanced floating" operating effect will bring very significant benefits in labor-saving transportation, especially in high-precision positioning work scenarios.
