[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following Figures 1-6 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] The present invention discloses a multifunctional sling for trams, which is specially used for hoisting different components in trams during maintenance. It comprises a sling main body frame 1, an auxiliary lifting ring 17 is provided at the back end of the sling main body frame 1, and a base plate 16 is further provided on the back of the sling main body frame 1, and a sling adjustment component 2 is provided on the base plate 16. The sling adjustment component 2 cooperates with the crane to complete the adjustment of the overall direction of the sling. The front of the sling main body frame 1 is provided with an adsorption component 4 and a clamping component 3. The adsorption component 4 and the clamping component 3 are respectively arranged on the sling main body frame 1 in a front-to-back position relationship. A flip hook 11 and a support rod 12 are provided on the outside of the sling main body frame 1, the flip hook 11 is provided at the end of the clamping component, and the support rod 12 is provided at the end of the adsorption component.
[0025] Specifically, the spreader main frame 1 is provided with a base plate 16, and the spreader adjustment assembly 2 is placed on the base plate 16. It includes an adjustment rotary shaft 21 located in the middle, and six adjustment brackets 22 are connected to the adjustment rotary shaft 21. The adjustment rotary shaft 21 enables the spreader adjustment assembly 2 to rotate circumferentially.
[0026] The top of the adjustment bracket 22 is equipped with a lifting ring 25, which can be connected to a crane. The other end of the adjustment bracket 22 is connected to a first connecting rod 24 via a radial rotating shaft 23. The other end of the first connecting rod 24 is connected to the adjustment rotating shaft 21 via an axial radial rotating assembly. The axial radial rotating assembly and the adjustment rotating shaft 21 are connected by a connecting shaft 26. The axial radial rotating assembly consists of a radial rotating shaft and an axial rotating shaft, which can achieve radial and axial angle changes.
[0027] The adsorption assembly 4 is mainly used for hoisting the front windshield of a tram, and is connected to the bottom plate 14 of the hoist main frame 1 through a buffer device 5. The adsorption assembly 4 and the buffer device 5 are detachable. They can be disassembled or installed according to the hoisting requirements of different components. The adsorption assembly 4 includes a suction cup group symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and the suction cup group includes a group of suction cup bottom plates 44. The two ends of the suction cup bottom plates 44 are connected to an arc-shaped connecting rod 41 through a connecting shaft 45, and suction cups 42 are evenly distributed on the suction cup bottom plates 44; the suction cup bottom plate 44 on one side of the suction cup group is connected to the mounting plate 43, and the mounting plate 43 is connected to the connecting plate 54. The connecting shaft 45 and the arc-shaped connecting rod 41 are movably connected.
[0028] The buffer device 5 includes a base connected to the bottom plate 14. The base is provided with a drive motor 51. One end of the drive motor 51 is connected to a driven gear 53 located on one side via a drive gear 52. The driven gear 53 is connected to upper and lower lifting assemblies on both sides. The top of the upper and lower lifting assemblies is connected to the adsorption assembly 4 via a connecting plate 54. When the drive motor 51 is activated, it drives the driven gear 53 to rotate. When the upper and lower lifting assemblies are activated, they drive the adsorption assembly 4 connected to the connecting plate 54 to move up and down.
[0029] The vertical lifting assembly in this embodiment includes a driving rod 56 positioned within the driven gear 53. A driving link assembly is perpendicularly connected to each end of the driving rod 56, with the connecting plate 54 positioned atop the driving link assembly. The driving link assembly comprises a pair of pivotally connected driving links 561, each of which is provided with a gear 57 at its base. The gears on the driving links 561 mesh with each other. One side of the gear 57 is connected to a motor, which, when activated, causes the connecting plate 54 to move up and down. Of course, the lifting of the connecting plate 54 can also be driven by a pneumatic cylinder.
[0030] The clamping assembly 3 is connected to a guide rail assembly 31 mounted within the main frame 1 of the sling. The clamping assembly 3 comprises a set of clamping plates 32 mounted perpendicularly to the rail via a slider. A lifting cylinder 33 is mounted on the outside of the clamping plates 32. The top of the lifting cylinder 33 is connected to a fixed mounting rod 34 via a cylinder shaft. The clamping plates 32 move relative to the rail to clamp or release the product. The upper end of the clamping plates 32 is connected to a flip plate 35 via a flip mechanism 36. One side of the clamping assembly 3 is connected to an auxiliary fixing frame 6 via an up-and-down drive assembly. This auxiliary fixing frame 6 has a connection hole. When a component is placed on the auxiliary fixing frame 6, a rope can be passed through the connection hole to bind the component. The end of the fixed mounting rod 34 can be threaded and detachable. This means that when accessing the connection hole, the end is unscrewed and then screwed back on again, eliminating the need for a rope connection. The diameter of the end is larger than the diameter of the connection hole.
[0031] A deceleration flip motor 15 is provided at one end of the sling main frame 1, and the flip hook 11 is connected to the deceleration flip motor 15 via a shaft. When the deceleration flip motor 15 is working, it can drive the flip hook 11 to radially open or fold along the outer frame of the sling main frame 1. The support rod 12 is connected to the outside of the sling main frame 1 through the cylinder 13. The middle part of the support rod 12 is also connected to the sling main frame through a rotating shaft 121. When the cylinder 13 is working, the support rod 12 can be erected. In order to save space, the cylinder 13 is placed horizontally on the sling main frame 1.
[0032] To better understand the implementation principle of the present invention, the following is explained through specific applications: When used as a universal jack spreader, the spreader of the present invention can be used to lift different components. The following describes how the spreader of the present invention can be used as a bogie spreader and a pantograph spreader: Before use, the spreader is adjusted, and the electrical and pneumatic components are powered by the crane's built-in power supply. The deceleration motor 15 adjusts the tilting hook 11 to a level position with the spreader, and the suction assembly 4 is removed. At this point, the fixed mounting rods 34 on both sides of the clamping assembly 3 are in their initial retracted positions, and the support rods 12 are retracted. The clamping assembly 3 is in its maximum open position, with its two clamping plates 32 positioned at either end of the guide rail assembly to facilitate subsequent clamping operations.
[0033] When used as a bogie hoist, due to the relatively heavy weight of the vehicle bogie, a counterweight is required to balance the overall weight of the hoist by installing the suction assembly 4. The lifting cylinder 33 is operated to extend the fixed mounting rod 34, allowing the top end of the fixed mounting rod to pass through the connection hole of the bogie and be fixed at the bottom of the hole. This can be fixed directly by rope binding or by removing the top end of the fixed mounting rod from the connection hole.
[0034] And the bogie is carried out auxiliary clamping effect by the clamping assembly 3. When carrying, the main sling directly passes through the auxiliary lifting ring 17 on the four sides of the spreader, is then connected to the crane main hook, and can directly carry out lifting operation.
[0035] When used as a pantograph hanger, due to the unique shapes and sizes of pantographs, the hanger's auxiliary fixing frame 6 must first be lowered to secure the lower portion of the pantograph. The upper portion is then secured using the clamping assembly 3. Simultaneously, the left and right flip plates 35 of the clamping assembly 3 are flipped horizontally by a flip mechanism 36. Ropes are then passed through the circular holes in the flip plates 35 to secure the upper portion of the pantograph.
[0036] Other items such as traction boxes, auxiliary inverter boxes, brake resistor boxes, battery boxes, high-voltage boxes, driver's cab air conditioning units, passenger compartment air conditioning units, etc. can all be lifted using the above method. When the left and right flip plates 35 are flipped down, the goods placed on the pallet can also be lifted at the same time, simply by binding the pallet and the flip plates 35 together.
[0037] When the present invention is used as a special lifting device for a front windshield: First, install the suction assembly 4, roughly adjust the hoist adjustment assembly 2, and determine the number of adjustment brackets 22 to use. To facilitate the subsequent flipping of the glass, the present invention provides a flip positioning device. This device includes a positioning rod 7 and positioning wheels 71 connected to each end of the positioning rod 7. The spacing between the positioning wheels 71 matches the tram track. Furthermore, to prevent the positioning wheels 71 from rolling, the flip positioning device also includes stoppers 72. Before lifting, move the flip fixture to the corresponding position on the tram's front end, and use the stoppers 72 to position the positioning wheels 71.
[0038] The crane first connects to the six lifting rings 25 of the sling adjustment assembly. Two buffer devices 5 adjust the suction assembly 4 to the position corresponding to the glass to be installed on site. Then, the suction cups 42 on the suction assembly operate to absorb the glass. At this point, all connecting shafts 45 are free, and the vacuum suction cups 42 contact the glass, securing it to the suction assembly through suction. Since all shafts are free, the suction force allows the suction assembly to conform to the shape of the glass. The clamping assembly 3 is equipped with a clamping rubber gasket, which simultaneously provides auxiliary clamping of the rear end of the glass from both ends.
[0039] The glass is then hoisted to the corresponding position of the flip positioning device. The decelerated flip motor 15 slowly rotates the flip hook 11, connecting the hook at the front end of the flip hook 11 with the positioning rod 7. Then, according to the actual situation on site, three of the six lifting rings are loosened to prepare for the flip operation. The use of the flip positioning device can avoid the shaking of the lifting equipment during this process, which may cause safety problems during operation.
[0040] After the hook is connected to the positioning rod 7, the remaining three adjustment brackets 22 are free. The deceleration tilting motor 15 continues to rotate the tilting hook 11, connecting the crane's main lifting ring to the three lifting rings. At the same time, the crane operator performs a lifting operation on the crane's main lifting ring. The tilting hook 11 and the lifting mechanism lift the entire hoist into a vertical position. The open support rod 12 (i.e., the support rod 12 is perpendicular to the main hoist frame) connects to the front coupler of the tram to provide auxiliary support. When the entire hoist is adjusted to the approximate position for installing the front windshield, the buffer device 5 is used to fine-tune the suction assembly to the correct position for installing the glass. This is done until the windshield is installed.
[0041] The specific control of driving between devices in the present invention belongs to the software part and is not the focus of protection of the present invention, so it will not be described here.
[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0043] There are many specific application examples of the present invention. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
