Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a crane loading device and a crane. Background Art

[0002] Cranes are important material handling machines, widely used in construction sites, workshops, power, rescue and emergency response, etc. Cranes lift or lift and move heavy objects through a lifting hook or other lifting devices. The working process of a crane generally includes the steps of lifting, running, lowering and returning to the original position. The lifting mechanism lifts the heavy object from the picking location through the picking device, moves the heavy object through the running, rotating or luffing mechanism, and returns to the original position after lowering the heavy object at the designated location.

[0003] As cranes are developed and used more and more widely in the market, safety accidents occur frequently during the use of cranes, among which crane overload is the key factor leading to frequent crane accidents. Crane overload means that the load carried by the crane exceeds its rated load capacity. Crane overload can cause the crane to overturn, hook to fall off, structural damage, etc., and may also cause serious injuries and damage to construction site personnel and the surrounding environment. Therefore, during the operation of the crane, it is usually necessary to limit the load of the crane.

[0004] In the prior art, a spring structure and a control switch are usually provided inside a crane load device. During the hook lifting process, the lifting rod drives the movable block to slide downward along the inside of the hollow shell, stretching the spring until the trigger block at the lower end of the movable block presses the control switch downward, thereby activating the warning light to remind the user that the weight of the heavy object is overloaded. When the load of the heavy object hung on the hook exceeds the specified weight, the spring will be stretched to a degree beyond its elastic limit. Due to the characteristics of the spring itself, even if the load of the heavy object drops to the normal range, the spring cannot be completely restored to its initial state. When the lifting equipment is used again after an overload, even if the heavy object is not overloaded, the control switch will be triggered, causing the crane load device to falsely alarm, affecting the accuracy of load detection and misleading the operator.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present application provides a crane load device, including a first panel 1, a second panel 2, a supporting cross plate 3, a lifting hook 4, a pressure sensor 5 and an alarm 7; the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are spaced apart, and grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 along the height direction, and both ends of the supporting cross plate 3 are slidably arranged in the grooves, and the supporting cross plate 3 is connected to the lifting hook 4, and the pressure sensor 5 is arranged in the grooves of the first panel 1 and / or the second panel 2, and is located below the supporting cross plate 3, so that the supporting cross plate 3 can contact with the pressure sensor 5, so that when a heavy object is carried on the lifting hook 4, the gravity of the heavy object drives the supporting cross plate 3 connected to the lifting hook 4 to slide downward inside the groove; when the supporting cross plate 3 slides downward, the pressure is directly applied to the pressure sensor 5, through The direct contact between the supporting cross plate 3 and the pressure sensor 5 can ensure that the pressure sensor 5 can accurately sense the pressure changes on the supporting cross plate 3; the alarm 7 is set on the first panel 1 or the second panel 2 and electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5. When the pressure sensor 5 detects that the pressure exceeds the safe range, the alarm 7 can directly receive the signal of the pressure sensor 5 and immediately sound an alarm, reminding the operator to pay attention and take necessary measures, which can effectively avoid potential safety risks and accidents during the construction process. At the same time, since the alarm 7 is directly electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5, no additional complex connection and setting are required, which simplifies the installation and operation process of the device, reduces the cost of maintenance and management, can effectively avoid false alarms, improve the accuracy of load detection, and prevent misleading operators. It should be noted that the height direction in this embodiment refers to the vertical direction from the top to the bottom of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the grooves of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are both provided with pressure sensors 5, so that the two pressure sensors 5 can provide more data points, thereby increasing the measurement accuracy of the pressure change of the supporting horizontal plate 3, which helps to more accurately evaluate the load condition of the crane and avoid overloading or other safety issues; and the number of pressure sensors 5 is increased to avoid measurement deviation caused by a single pressure sensor 5, and increase the accuracy of detection; based on this, the user can more easily detect sensor failure or abnormality by simultaneously monitoring the output of the two pressure sensors 5, and once an abnormality is found, timely measures can be taken to avoid potential safety risks. Preferably, the bottom of the grooves of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are both provided with mounting grooves 6, and the pressure sensor 5 is embedded in the mounting grooves 6. The mounting grooves 6 can provide a fixed position for the pressure sensor 5, prevent the pressure sensor 5 from loosening or shifting during the operation of the device, and ensure that the pressure sensor 5 is always in a fixed position for pressure measurement; the sensing area of ​​the pressure sensor 5 protrudes from the mounting groove 6, which can ensure that the sensing area of ​​the pressure sensor 5 is in direct contact with the supporting horizontal plate 3, maintain the sensitivity of the pressure sensor 5, and facilitate timely perception of external pressure changes and timely feedback of pressure signals.
