The heavy objects lifted by the electric hoist with a single rail are prone to shaking, reducing the safety factor. While the electric hoist with two drums increases the structure of the equipment, the volume increases, and the weight increases. Therefore, there is a disclosed technology that proposes a wire rope electric hoist (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110271989B).

[0019] In order to ensure the smooth progress of the hoisting operation, the transmission device includes two groups of first sprockets 23, second sprockets 24 and two groups of transmission shafts 22. The rear end of the rotating shaft 18 sequentially penetrates the rear wall of the main housing 7 and the front wall of the driving box 11 and extends into the driving box 11. The two groups of transmission shafts 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the end of the protruding shaft of the driving motor 15 and the end of the rotating shaft 18 extending into the driving box 11 through a group of couplings 16. One of the two groups of transmission shafts 22 connected to the driving motor 15 is rotatably connected to the front wall inside the driving box 11 through a rotating seat at the end away from the driving motor 15. One of the two groups of transmission shafts 22 connected to the rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the lower wall inside the driving box 11 through a support seat 19 at the end away from the rotating shaft 18. The two groups of first sprockets 23 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer wall of a group of transmission shafts 22. The two groups of second sprockets 24 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer wall of a group of transmission shafts 22 and are both located in front of the first sprockets 23. A first chain 20 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two groups of first sprockets 23. A second chain 21 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two groups of second sprockets 24. The first chain 20 is the main chain and plays a main transmission role. The second chain 21 is a spare chain and maintains the transmission connection between the driving motor 15 and the rotating shaft 18 after the first chain 20 breaks; In order to detect the tension of the first chain 20 in real time, a tension detection structure for detecting the tension of the first chain 20 is provided on the inner right wall of the drive box 11. The tension detection structure includes a second sliding tube 36, a second slider 39, a second roller 40 and a displacement sensor 41. The second sliding tube 36 is fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the drive box 11. A push block 38 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding tube 36. The second slider 39 is fixedly connected to the left wall of the push block 38. One end of the second slider 39 away from the push block 38 penetrates the left wall of the second sliding tube 36 and extends to the left side of the second sliding tube 36. The second roller 40 is rotatably connected to one end of the second slider 39 away from the push block 38. The outer circumference of the second roller 40 is in rolling connection with the outer wall of the first chain 20. A spring 37 is provided between the side of the push block 38 away from the second slider 39 and the inner right wall of the drive box 11. The displacement sensor 41 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the second sliding tube 36. A through groove that penetrates up and down is provided on the upper wall of the second sliding tube 36. A connecting bar 42 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the push block 38. One end of the connecting bar 42 away from the push block 38 penetrates the through groove and is fixedly connected to the detection slider of the displacement sensor 41. The displacement sensor 41 is electrically connected to the controller 3. During daily operation, the spring 37 pushes the push block 38 and the second slider 39, driving the second roller 40 to abut against the outer wall of the first chain 20. When the first chain 20 becomes slack, the elastic force of the spring 37 drives the second slider 39 to extend further. During this movement, the detection slider on the displacement sensor 41 is driven by the connecting bar 42, so that the displacement sensor 41 generates a displacement signal. After the receiving end of the controller 3 receives the displacement signal, it controls the tension adjustment structure to adjust the tension of the first chain 20. When the first chain 20 breaks, the detection slider of the displacement sensor 41 is pushed by the spring 37, instantly generating a displacement signal with a large displacement, and then controlling the clutch structure to act through the controller 3; In order to dynamically adjust the tension of the first chain 20, a tension adjustment structure for adjusting the tension of the first chain 20 is provided on the inner left wall of the drive box 11. The tension adjustment structure includes a first sliding tube 32, a first slider 33, a first roller 34 and an electric telescopic rod 35. The first sliding tube 32 is fixedly connected to the inner left wall of the drive box 11. The first slider 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding tube 32 and the right end of the first slider 33 penetrates the right wall of the first sliding tube 32. The electric telescopic rod 35 is fixedly connected between the inner left wall of the drive box 11 and the first slider 33. The first roller 34 is rotatably connected to one end of the first slider 33 away from the electric telescopic rod 35. The outer circumference of the first roller 34 is in rolling connection with the outer wall of the first chain 20. The electric telescopic rod 35 is electrically connected to the controller 3. After the displacement sensor 41 detects that the first chain 20 is slack, according to the detected slack amount, the controller 3 controls the extension shaft of the electric telescopic rod 35 to extend, driving the first slider 33 and the first roller 34 to squeeze the first chain 20, so that the first chain 20 returns to the taut state again, ensuring normal transmission; To control the engagement and disengagement between the second sprocket 24 and the transmission shaft 22, a housing 27 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the second sprocket 24. An inner housing 28 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the housing 27. The outer wall of the transmission shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the inner housing 28. A clutch structure for controlling the engagement and disengagement state between the second sprocket 24 and the transmission shaft 22 is provided between the housing 27 and the inner housing 28. The clutch structure includes an electromagnetic coil 29 and a magnetic powder pack 30. The electromagnetic coil 29 is arranged between the inner housing 28 and the housing 27. The magnetic powder pack 30 is arranged between the electromagnetic coil 29 and the inner housing 28 and between the electromagnetic coil 29 and the housing 27. The magnetic powder pack 30 is composed of a plurality of iron-cobalt-based alloy magnetic powder particles. The clutch structure makes the magnetic powder pack 30 solidify by energizing the electromagnetic coil 29, realizing the transmission connection between the housing 27 and the inner housing 28. A plurality of first grooves 2701 are arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 27. The plurality of first grooves 2701 are circumferentially equally distributed centered on the axis of the housing 27. A plurality of second grooves 2801 are arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the inner housing 28. The plurality of second grooves 2801 are circumferentially equally distributed centered on the axis of the inner housing 28. When the first chain 20 is operating normally, the electromagnetic coil 29 is in a de-energized state, and the magnetic powder particles in the magnetic powder pack 30 are in a loose state. The housing 27 and the inner housing 28 are in a rotatable state, that is, the transmission shaft 22 is not driven by the second chain 21. When the first chain 20 breaks, the controller 3 controls the electromagnetic coil 29 to be energized to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic powder particles in the magnetic powder pack 30 are magnetized and solidified. A magnetic powder bonding structure is formed by the magnetic powder filled in the first grooves 2701 and the second grooves 2801, making the housing 27 and the inner housing 28 in a fixed state. At this time, the two transmission shafts 22 are driven by the second chain 21 and the two second sprockets 24, ensuring the continuous progress of the hoisting; To supply power to the clutch structure during rotation, a rotary power supply structure for supplying power to the clutch structure during rotation is arranged on the outer wall of the transmission shaft 22 and behind the inner housing 28. The rotary power supply structure includes a fixed slip ring 25 and a moving slip ring 26. The fixed slip ring 25 is sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission shaft 22 and is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the drive box 11 through a bracket. The moving slip ring 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission shaft 22 and is rotatably connected to the fixed slip ring 25. The moving slip ring 26 is electrically connected to the fixed slip ring 25 and the clutch structure. The electromagnetic coil 29 in the clutch structure is powered during rotation through the fixed slip ring 25 and the moving slip ring 26, ensuring the smooth operation of the clutch structure; To ensure that the heat generated during the operation of the clutch structure can be discharged smoothly, a heat dissipation structure for the clutch structure is provided on the right wall of the drive box 11. The heat dissipation structure includes two groups of heat dissipation windows 31. The two groups of heat dissipation windows 31 are both fixedly connected to the right wall of the drive box 11 and are distributed vertically. The two groups of heat dissipation windows 31 correspond to the positions of the two groups of transmission shafts 22 respectively, and the two groups of heat dissipation windows 31 correspond to the two groups of outer shells 27 respectively. During the operation of the clutch structure, the heat can be discharged smoothly through the two groups of heat dissipation windows 31, avoiding the high-temperature failure of the clutch structure; To send a warning message when the tension detection structure detects a specific situation, an alarm structure for sending a warning message is provided on the left wall of the drive box 11. The alarm structure includes an alarm lamp 13 and a buzzer 12. The alarm lamp 13 and the buzzer 12 are both fixedly connected to the left wall of the drive box 11 and are distributed front and back. The alarm lamp 13 and the buzzer 12 are both electrically connected to the controller 3. The alarm structure has two warning modes and can be reminded by emitting different lights through the alarm lamp 13. The alarm lamp 13 can be a common LED lamp with different colors on the market. When the number of times the controller 3 controls the electric telescopic rod 35 to extend reaches the set value, the alarm structure sends the first warning message to remind that the tension of the first chain 20 has been adjusted to the limit. When the displacement sensor 41 detects that the first chain 20 is broken, the alarm structure sends the second warning message.

[0020] Specifically: At both ends of the cross beam 1, abutting blocks 43 are connected through fasteners. On both sides of the suspension device 2, there are also connecting ears 44. One end of an L-shaped member 46 is rotatably connected to the connecting ear 44 through a rotating shaft 18. There is also a return torsion spring between the rotating shaft 18 and the connecting ear 44. In this embodiment, the return torsion spring can be used to make the long dry section of the L-shaped member 46 in a horizontal state. A limit block 47 that cooperates with the L-shaped member 46 is also installed on the connecting ear 44. An auxiliary wheel 45 is installed at the other end of the L-shaped member 46. At both ends of the cross beam 1, mounting blocks 49 are also connected, and the mounting blocks 49 are located above the abutting blocks 43. A U-shaped member 48 is installed on the mounting block 49. One end of the U-shaped member 48 has a switching portion 48a arranged obliquely, and the other end of the U-shaped member 48 has a limiting portion 48b arranged obliquely. A guide seat 53 is installed in the middle of the U-shaped member 48. A locking screw 51 is threadedly connected to the guide seat 53. An adjusting rod 52 is vertically slidably connected to the guide seat 53. A travel switch 50 that cooperates with the auxiliary wheel 45 is connected to the adjusting rod 52. The travel switch 50 is electrically connected to the control handle 5. In order to ensure that the electric hoist can stop stably after moving left and right to the specified position, movable L-shaped members 46 are installed on both sides of the suspension device 2. When the suspension device 2 reaches the left and right extreme positions, under the combined action of the switching portion 48a and the limiting portion 48b, the auxiliary wheel 45 guides the L-shaped member 46 to smoothly transition from the horizontal position to the vertical state. At this time, the guide wheel contacts the travel switch 50, and a signal is immediately transmitted to the control handle 5. Since the distance of each contact between the guide wheel and the travel switch 50 remains the same, excessive impact on the travel switch 50 is avoided. Even after long-term use, when the abutting block 43 becomes loose and moves outward, the guide wheel can still contact the travel switch 50, ensuring the stability and reliability of the in-place detection.

[0021] Working principle: The first chain 20 is the main chain and plays a main driving role. The second chain 21 is the spare chain, which maintains the transmission connection between the driving motor 15 and the rotating shaft 18 after the first chain 20 breaks. During daily operation, the spring 37 pushes the push block 38 and the second slider 39, driving the second roller 40 to abut against the outer wall of the first chain 20. When the first chain 20 becomes loose, the elastic force of the spring 37 drives the second slider 39 to extend further. During this movement, the detection slider on the displacement sensor 41 is driven by the connecting bar 42, so that the displacement sensor 41 generates a displacement signal. After the receiving end of the controller 3 receives the displacement signal, it controls the tension adjustment structure to adjust the tension of the first chain 20. When the first chain 20 breaks, the detection slider of the displacement sensor 41 instantaneously generates a displacement signal with a large displacement under the push of the spring 37, and then controls the clutch structure to act through the controller 3. The electric telescopic rod 35 is electrically connected to the controller 3. After the displacement sensor 41 detects that the first chain 20 is loose, according to the detected amount of slack, the controller 3 controls the extending shaft of the electric telescopic rod 35 to extend, driving the first slider 33 and the first roller 34 to squeeze the first chain 20, so that the first chain 20 returns to the taut state again, ensuring normal transmission. When the first chain 20 is operating normally, the electromagnetic coil 29 is in a power-off state, and the magnetic powder particles in the magnetic powder package 30 are in a loose state. The outer shell 27 and the inner shell 28 are in a rotatable state, that is, the transmission shaft 22 is not driven by the second chain 21. When the first chain 20 breaks, the controller 3 controls the electromagnetic coil 29 to be energized to generate magnetism, and the magnetic powder particles in the magnetic powder package 30 are magnetically cured. A magnetic powder bonding structure is formed through the magnetic powder filled in the first groove 2701 and the second groove 2801, so that a fixed state is formed between the outer shell 27 and the inner shell 28. At this time, the two transmission shafts 22 are driven by the second chain 21 and the two second sprockets 24, ensuring the continuation of the hoisting. The fixed slip ring 25 and the moving slip ring 26 supply power to the electromagnetic coil 29 in the clutch structure during rotation, ensuring that the clutch structure can act smoothly. The two heat dissipation windows 31 correspond to the positions of the two outer shells 27 respectively. During the operation of the clutch structure, the two heat dissipation windows 31 ensure that heat can be discharged smoothly, avoiding the high-temperature failure of the clutch structure. The alarm structure has two warning modes and can be reminded by emitting different lights through the alarm lamp 13. The alarm lamp 13 can be a common LED lamp with different colors on the market. When the number of times the controller 3 controls the electric telescopic rod 35 to extend reaches the set value, the alarm structure issues the first warning message, reminding that the tension of the first chain 20 has been adjusted to the limit. When the displacement sensor 41 finds that the first chain 20 breaks, the alarm structure issues the second warning message.
