DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The utility model will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an adjustable travel limiter for an overhead crane comprises a limiter 1, a trigger rod 2 is provided on the limiter 1, a sleeve frame 3 is sleeved on the trigger rod 2, a rotating arm 4 is inserted on the sleeve frame 3, a roller 5 is installed on the upper end of the rotating arm 4, a plurality of adjustment holes 6 are linearly and evenly distributed on the rotating arm 4, a limiting groove 7 is provided on the rotating arm 4 on both sides of any adjustment hole 6, a fixing plate 8 penetrating through and clamped on the sleeve frame 3 is inserted in the limiting groove 7, a thread hole 9 is provided on the sleeve frame 3, a bolt 10 penetrating the fixing plate 8 and the adjustment hole 6 is threadedly connected in the thread hole 9.

[0021] Since the bolt 10 is inserted into the adjustment hole 6, even if the bolt 10 is loosened, the rotating rod will not slide downward, so when the bolt 10 is loosened, the height of the roller 5 will not change.

[0022] The trigger rod 2 is circular and the outer wall of the trigger rod 2 is toothed. The sleeve frame 3 is provided with a slot 11, a star-shaped hole 12, and a first notch 13. The wire hole 9 is located at the upper position of the sleeve frame 3. The star-shaped hole 12 and the first notch 13 are located on the sleeve frame 3 directly below the wire hole 9. The middle position of the first notch 13 is connected to the star-shaped hole 12.

[0023] The shape of the star-shaped hole 12 matches the toothed outer wall of the trigger rod 2. The sleeve 3 is sleeved on the trigger rod 2 through the star-shaped hole 12. The inner wall of the star-shaped hole 12 meshes with the outer wall of the trigger rod 2. A bolt pair 14 that crosses the first notch 13 is passed through the bottom of the sleeve 3.

[0024] The engagement of the star-shaped hole 12 and the trigger rod 2 limits the position of the sleeve 3 to prevent the sleeve 3 from rotating on the trigger rod 2. The first notch 13 provides space for the bottom end of the sleeve 3, and the width of the notch can be reduced by tightening the bolt pair 14, so that the engagement of the star-shaped hole 12 and the trigger rod 2 is tighter.

[0025] Limiting protrusions 15 are provided on the sleeve frame 3 on both sides of the lower position of the slot 11, the rotating arm 4 is inserted into the slot 11 between the limiting protrusion 15 and the sleeve frame 3, and the fixing plate 8 is located in the slot 11 above the limiting protrusion 15 and close to the rotating arm 4.

[0026] The limiting protrusion 15 can limit the rotating arm 4 in the slot 11 .

[0027] The sleeve frame 3 is provided with through holes 16 on both sides of the thread hole 9 , and the shape and position of the through holes 16 correspond to the shape and position of the limiting groove 7 .

[0028] Plug arms 17 are provided on both sides of the fixing plate 8, and a clamping joint 18 is provided at the end of the plug-in arm 17. A second notch 19 is provided in the middle of the plug-in arm 17. The fixing plate 8 passes through the limiting groove 7 and the through hole 16 through the plug-in arm 17. The clamping joint 18 is located on the outside of the sleeve frame 3, and the fixing plate 8 is clamped to the sleeve frame 3 through the clamping joint 18.

[0029] Since the plug-in arm 17 of the fixing plate 8 is inserted into the limit groove 7 and the through hole 16, and the clamping joint 18 is located on the outside of the sleeve 3, even if the bolt 10 falls off, the rotating arm 4 will not change its position. Therefore, the plug-in arm 17 and the bolt 10 provide double fixation for the rotating arm 4, thereby preventing the problem of failure to trigger the action of the limiter 1 due to the height change of the roller 5.

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0031] During installation, align the star-shaped hole 12 of the sleeve 3 with the trigger rod 2 and sleeve it, tighten the bolt pair 14, and then the first notch 13 shrinks, so that the sleeve 3 is tightly clamped on the trigger rod 2. Insert the rotating arm 4 into the slot 11 between the limiting protrusion 15 and the sleeve 3, and adjust the position of the rotating arm 4 so that it can meet the requirements in height. Insert the plug arm 17 of the fixed plate 8 into the limiting groove 7 and the through hole 16. During the plugging process, the second notch 19 shrinks until the clamping joint 18 is located outside the sleeve 3. At this time, the plug arm 17 rebounds, so that the clamping joint 18 clamps the sleeve 3, and the bolt 10 passes through the adjusting hole 6 of the fixed plate 8 and the rotating arm 4, and then is threaded into the thread hole 9. At this time, the rotating arm 4 is fixed in the slot 11.

[0032] During operation, the roller 5 touches the limit stopper on the overhead crane, causing the rotating arm 4 to rotate, thereby driving the trigger rod 2 to rotate through the sleeve 3, thereby triggering the action of the limiter 1. Since the bolt 10 is inserted into the adjustment hole 6, even if the bolt 10 is loose, the rotating rod will not slide downward, so when the bolt 10 is loose, the height of the roller 5 will not change. Since the plug-in arm 17 of the fixing plate 8 is inserted into the limit groove 7 and the through hole 16, and the clamping joint 18 is located outside the sleeve 3, even if the bolt 10 falls off, the rotating arm 4 will not change its position, thereby providing double fixation for the rotating arm 4 through the plug-in arm 17 and the bolt 10, thereby preventing the problem of failure to trigger the action of the limiter 1 due to the height change of the roller 5.

[0033] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the roller 5 again, unscrew the bolt 10, pinch the two sides of the clamping joint 18 at the end of the plug-in arm 17 to shrink the second notch 19, and then push out the fixing plate 8. After adjusting the height of the roller 5, fix the rotating arm 4 on the sleeve frame 3 through the fixing plate 8 and the bolt 10.

[0034] The above-described embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred implementations of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made by ordinary persons in the art to the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The technology, shape and structure parts not described in detail in the present invention are all known technologies.
