Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of crane pulley anti-fall technology, specifically relating to a crane pulley anti-fall device. Background Technology

[0002] Crane wire rope anti-derailment devices are systematic protection mechanisms specifically designed to prevent high-risk accidents such as wire ropes detaching from the hook or pulleys. The structure of this device directly impacts the safety of personnel and the surrounding environment. Its design requires thorough consideration of the actual operating conditions of each component of the system and the potential risk levels resulting from operational defects. The anti-derailment device is a crucial component of the crawler crane's hook pulley system; its primary function is to prevent accidents caused by accidental slippage of heavy objects during lifting.

[0003] In existing pulley anti-derailment structures, the wire rope may slip out or bounce out of the pulley groove after prolonged use, leading to a derailment accident. This also makes it difficult for equipment operators to flexibly limit and adjust the rotating wire rope.

[0004] In view of the above factors, a crane pulley anti-derailment device is provided to prevent the wire rope from slipping out of the groove inside the rotating pulley. When the anti-derailment frame contacts the front surface of the rotating pulley and the wire rope, it can ensure that the rotating pulley and the wire rope drive deviate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crane pulley anti-derailment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a crane pulley anti-fall device, comprising a protective housing, a drive shaft rotatably connected inside the protective housing, a rotating pulley fixedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft, and a steel wire rope slidably connected to the surface of the rotating pulley;

[0007] Limiting plates are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the protective shell, and fixed brackets are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the protective shell. A support crossbar is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed bracket, and a support block is fixedly connected to the surface of the support crossbar.

[0008] The protective shell is fixedly connected to both the left and right ends with fixed horizontal plates, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed horizontal plate. An anti-deviation frame is slidably connected to the top of the support rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-deviation frame is internally threaded with an adjusting screw, the adjusting screw is externally threaded with a locking nut, and a limit spring is fixedly connected to the rear end of the anti-deviation frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-deviation frame is located on the front of the protective shell, and the adjusting screw extends through the locking nut and the anti-deviation frame into the interior of the protective shell. Support crossbars extend from the top of two fixed brackets and support blocks are welded on them.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two support rods and limiting springs, and the two support rods and limiting springs are symmetrically distributed with respect to the protective shell.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting spring is positioned at the top of the support rod and makes elastic contact with the back of the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating pulleys and wire ropes are provided in multiple quantities, and the multiple rotating pulleys and wire ropes are distributed at equal intervals around the transmission shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive shaft surface is fixedly connected with several rotating pulleys that are equidistantly distributed around it. These rotating pulleys together form a multi-stage guiding system. The rotating pulleys cause the wire rope to maintain a straight trajectory during operation, and each of the rotating pulleys slides with the same wire rope to form a continuous traction circuit.

[0015] Furthermore, the support block is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod, the limiting spring is located at the top of the support rod, and the fixing cross plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod;

[0016] The fixed bracket and supporting crossbar are configured as two, and the two fixed brackets and supporting crossbars are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides with the protective shell as the center.

[0017] A method for using a crane pulley anti-derailment device includes the following steps;

[0018] When the anti-deviation frame moves back and forth on the top of the support rod by rotating the adjusting screw, the locking nut 13 on the surface can drive the rotating pulley and wire rope on the surface of the drive shaft, preventing the wire rope from slipping out of the groove inside the rotating pulley. When the anti-deviation frame contacts the front surface of the rotating pulley and wire rope, it can ensure that the rotating pulley and wire rope are driven to deviate. By setting two fixed brackets, support crossbars are extended from the top of each bracket, and support blocks are welded on them for auxiliary positioning and load distribution. Fixed crossbars are also set on both sides of the protective shell. The fixed crossbars are rigidly connected to the vertical support rod below, forming a stable column-type load-bearing structure. By setting limit springs, they are placed on the top of the support rod and elastically contact the back of the frame, which plays a buffering and shock absorption function, absorbing excess kinetic energy and quickly returning to the original shape, preventing the accumulation of damage caused by rigid collision.

[0019] An application of a crane pulley anti-derailment device is disclosed. This device is applied to the field of crane pulley anti-derailment. When the operator rotates the adjusting screw, the locking nut on the surface moves the anti-derailment frame back and forth on the top of the support rod. This drives the rotating pulley and wire rope on the drive shaft surface, preventing the wire rope from slipping out of the groove inside the rotating pulley. When the anti-derailment frame contacts the front surface of the rotating pulley and wire rope, it ensures that the rotating pulley and wire rope are driven to deviate.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention allows the anti-deviation frame to move back and forth on the top of the support rod by rotating the adjusting screw, which in turn drives the locking nut on the surface. This drives the rotating pulley and wire rope on the surface of the transmission shaft, preventing the wire rope from slipping out of the groove inside the rotating pulley. When the anti-deviation frame contacts the front surface of the rotating pulley and wire rope, it ensures that the rotating pulley and wire rope are driven to deviate.

[0022] This invention features two fixed supports with crossbars extending from their tops, each welded with a support block for auxiliary positioning and load distribution. Fixed crossbars are also provided on both sides of the protective outer shell, rigidly connected to the vertically erected support rods below, forming a stable column-type load-bearing structure. A limiting spring is installed at the top of the support rods and elastically contacts the back of the frame, thus providing a buffer and shock absorption function, absorbing excess kinetic energy and quickly restoring the original shape, preventing the accumulation of damage caused by rigid collisions.

Using the above technical solution and inspection and recovery methods, the driver immediately contacts the inspector via walkie-talkie to board the vehicle for inspection. The driver then resets all controllers to zero, boards the vehicle to check if the upper pulley has derailed or exhibits other abnormalities. If no derailment or other abnormalities occur, the driver returns to the cab and presses and holds the "Light Test" button on the left-side control panel for ten seconds. At this point, the continuous beeping stops, the main lifting mechanism has successfully reset, and is in trigger state. If the main lifting mechanism is improperly operated and this device is triggered, the main lifting mechanism will be de-energized, all other mechanisms will operate normally, and the continuous beeping will resume.
