[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-4As shown, a ductile iron pipe sand core 22 hanger comprises a center column 1, a lifting part is provided at the top of the center column 1, the center column 1 is connected to a fixed bracket, the fixed bracket is connected to an annular skeleton 5 located at the outer circle of the center column 1, a plurality of guide sleeves 12 are provided at the bottom of the annular skeleton 5, a telescopic rod 10 is slidably provided in the guide sleeve 12, a supporting plate 11 is provided at the outer end of the telescopic rod 10, a connecting rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inner end of the telescopic rod 10, a movable ring 8 is slidably provided on the center column 1, the connecting rods 19 are all rotatably connected to the movable ring 8, a reset spring 13 for connecting the movable ring 8 is provided on the center column 1, the movable ring 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2 15, an operating rod 14 is rotatably provided on the center column 1, the operating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2 15, a locking part 1 is provided on the operating rod 14, and a locking part 2 for cooperating with the locking part 1 is provided on the fixed bracket.

[0032] In the above scheme, the lifting device is lifted by the lifting part on the center part, the annular frame 5 is connected and fixed to the center column 1 by a fixed bracket, and a plurality of guide sleeves 12 are arranged at the bottom of the annular frame 5 along the circumferential direction to slidably connect the telescopic rod 10. The supporting plate 11 at the outer end of the telescopic rod 10 is used to position the sand core 22 and provide lifting force. The movable ring 8 is slidably arranged on the center column 1, and the movable ring 8 and the operating rod 14 are rotatably connected at both ends of the connecting rod 15. The movable ring 8 is driven by moving the operating rod 14. The movable ring 8 is connected to the telescopic rod 10 by rotating at both ends of the connecting rod 9, so as to drive the telescopic rod 10 to move telescopically when the movable ring 8 moves up and down, and the operating rod 14 is reset upward by the reset spring 13 to retract the telescopic rod 10, so as to avoid affecting the installation and disassembly of the sand core 22, which is convenient for use. When the operating rod 14 is pressed down, the locking part 1 and the locking part 2 cooperate to lock the operating rod 14, so that the supporting plate 11 on the telescopic rod 10 provides a stable supporting force for the sand core 22, thereby ensuring safe and stable lifting.

[0033] When the operating rod 14 is pressed down and the operating rod 14 contacts the annular frame 5, it is the extreme position of the extension. At this time, the hook on the operating rod 14 is just allowed to pass over the positioning pin, and the position of the support plate 11 will not damage the sand core 22. When the operating rod 14 is released, the telescopic rod 10 retracts inward, and the end face of the support plate 11 contacts the guide sleeve 12. At this time, it is the extreme position of retraction. The maximum horizontal stroke of the support plate 11 is 80mm, and the actual effective stroke is 70mm. The telescopic rod 10 of this sling has a long movement stroke. After the telescopic rod 10 is reset and retracted, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the protruding position of the support plate 11 is 40mm smaller than the inner circle diameter of the sand core 22. The margin of movement during the alignment process is large, and it is easier to align the center of the sand core 22 and put it down. The diameter of the center column 1 is small, and the blind spot of the field of vision is small during the alignment process. The distance between the center column 1 and the inner circle of the sand core 22 can be clearly observed, and the position of the sling can be easily judged. The movable ring 8 and the connecting rod, the connecting rod and the telescopic rod 10, the operating rod 14 and the ear on the central column 1, and the operating rod 14 connecting rod and the ear on the central ring are all connected by a rotating shaft. The telescopic rod 10 and the guide sleeve 12 are lubricated with a nylon sleeve 21. The overall movement is smooth, the movement trajectory is clear, it is wear-resistant, and the assembly accuracy is high.

[0034] The hoisting part includes a hoisting ring 2, the fixed bracket includes a plurality of transverse connecting rods 6, and the reinforcing rod is an inclined rod 3. By means of a telescopic connecting rod, the sand core 22 can be easily grasped and taken out from the core box, which is convenient for subsequent transportation, and solves the problems that the sand core 22 for large-diameter ductile iron pipes is difficult to hoist, the hoisting device is difficult to align the position during the hoisting of the sand core 22, the sand core 22 is not firmly fixed and is easy to slip, and the labor intensity of the operator is high, and the overall structure is lightweight.

[0035] The center column 1 is connected to the annular frame 5 through four square transverse connecting rods 6, and the lifting ring 2 is welded to the center column 1. One end of the diagonal rod 3 is connected to the center column 1, and the other end is connected to the pressing plate 4. The annular frame 5 is made of bent channel steel. The supporting feet 7 are cut square tubes, vertically welded to the lower surface of the annular frame 5, and evenly distributed along the annular frame 5, a total of four, and the above components are welded together as the main structure of the entire device.

[0036] The main moving and functional parts of the sling include a movable ring 8 mounted on the central column 1, which can move up and down, and four ear plates for rotational connection are welded on the circumference. The two ends of the connecting rod 9 are respectively hinged by rotation, one end is connected to the movable ring 8, and the other end is connected to the telescopic rod 10. The distance between the two connecting holes is 300mm, and the effective movable angle is 20 degrees 45 degrees. One end of the telescopic rod 10 is hinged to the connecting rod 9, and the other end is connected to the supporting plate 11 through the connecting part 112. The supporting plate 11 is used to expand the force-bearing area and is covered with rubber. The guide sleeve 12 is welded on the annular skeleton 5. The main body of the guide sleeve 12 is processed by drilling and reaming of square steel. The end surface position is processed with a groove by a broach for embedding the inner retaining ring 20. A nylon sleeve 21 is placed between the step and the retaining ring 20, and the nylon sleeve 21 plays a self-lubricating role. The reset spring 13 is sleeved on the center column 1. When the sand core 22 needs to be put down, the elastic force of the reset spring 13 makes the movable ring 8 move upward, thereby driving the lower operating rod 14 to reset easily. The upper end of the operating rod 14 is connected to the hanging ear welded on the center column 1 through a sliding sleeve, and the middle is connected to the hanging ear welded on the center ring through the connecting rod of the operating rod 14. The handle part can move up and down, and when pressed down to a preset position, the movable hook body 16 hooks the fixed pin 17 welded on the transverse connecting rod 6 to achieve locking.

[0037] Furthermore, a plurality of pressing plates 4 for cooperating with the sand core 22 are arranged on the annular skeleton 5 , a reinforcing rod is arranged between the pressing plates 4 and the central column 1 , and a plurality of supporting feet 7 are arranged at the bottom of the annular skeleton 5 .

[0038] The pressure plate 4 is used to cooperate with the support plate 11 to limit the position of the sand core 22, limit the movement of the sand core 22 during the lifting process, ensure the lifting stability, and set the reinforcing rod to improve the stability of the connection of the pressure plate 4. The support foot 7 is used to place the lifting device on the ground when it is not in use to prevent the functional parts from contacting with the ground and being damaged.

[0039] The pressing plate 4 is used for cooperating with the sand core 22 for positioning, and the supporting plate 11 is used for cooperating with the bottom surface of the sand core 22 for positioning.

[0040] Furthermore, the supporting plate 11 includes a flat plate 111 , and a connecting portion 112 for connecting with the telescopic rod 10 is disposed at the bottom of the flat plate 111 .

[0041] The flat plate 111 structure is convenient for supporting the sand core 22 , and is connected and fixed to the telescopic rod 10 via the connecting portion 112 .

[0042] The connecting portion 112 is provided with a mounting groove for connecting the telescopic rod 10 , and the connecting portion 112 is mounted on the bottom surface of the flat plate 111 by screws, so that the connecting portion 112 and the telescopic rod 10 are pressed and fixed.

[0043] Furthermore, the first locking part includes a movable hook body 16 disposed on the operating rod 14 , and the second locking part includes a fixing pin 17 for cooperating with the movable hook body 16 .

[0044] The operating rod 14 is positioned by the cooperation of the movable hook body 16 and the fixing pin 17 to prevent the telescopic rod 10 from retracting during hoisting.

[0045] In the embodiment, the movable hook body 16 includes a sliding sleeve, which can be slidably fitted on the outer ring of the operating rod 14. When unlocking is required, the operating rod 14 is pressed down and the movable hook body 16 is slidable. The movable hook body 16 and the operating rod 14 can also be rotatably connected.

[0046] Furthermore, the top end of the return spring 13 is connected to the movable ring 8, and the bottom end of the return spring 13 is connected to the fixed bracket.

[0047] By connecting and positioning the two ends of the return spring 13 to the movable ring 8 and the fixed bracket respectively, the structure is simple and easy to use.

[0048] The two ends of the return spring 13 can be fixedly connected to the movable ring 8 and the fixed bracket or can be connected in a fitting manner.

[0049] The method of use is as follows: Use an electric hoist / single-beam crane to lift the sling through the ring 2 on the center column 1 and move it to the top of the sand core 22. During the descent, the operator uses the operating rod 14 to move the sling in a small range to align it with the center of the sand core 22, and continue to descend. The pressure plate 4 presses on the flange surface at the top of the sand core 22; press the operating rod 14, and the connecting rod of the operating rod 14 rotates accordingly, driving the movable ring 8 to move downward. The connecting rod expands outward and drives the telescopic rod 10 to extend outward. Continue to press down, so that the movable hook body 16 near the handle of the operating rod 14 reaches the position of the fixed pin 17, moves slightly horizontally, and hooks the fixed pin 17. The supporting plate 11 connected to the telescopic rod 10 moves to the preset position and extends under the step surface of the sand core 22. At this time, the special sling is stably connected to the sand to form a combination. Use an electric hoist or single-beam crane to lift the sand core 22 through the ring 2 on the center column 1 and enter the next process.

[0050] When the connection between the sand core 22 and the sling needs to be released, the movable hook body 16 is slightly moved downward and laterally, and the reset spring 13 resets and drives the operating rod 14 to move upward and automatically return to the initial position. At this time, the movable ring 8 slides up, and the telescopic rod 10 and the supporting plate 11 on the telescopic rod 10 retract inward through the connecting rod, and the lock can be released.
