[0022] A U-shaped connector 4 is nested at the top of the lifting chain 2, and the top of the U-shaped connector 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the top connector 1. When in use, the top connector 1 is fixed to the crane by bolts. A fixed connecting plate 5 is provided at the bottom end of the lifting chain 2, and the bottom end of the fixed connecting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the top of a tension weighing sensor 6. The tension weighing sensor 6 is located below the fixed connecting plate 5. When lifting, the weight transmits the tension to the fixed connecting plate 5 through the tension weighing sensor 6, so that the tension data can be monitored in real time.
[0023] The PLC controller 13 is electrically connected to the tension weighing sensor 6 and the servo motor 14 respectively, and is electrically connected to the control end of the crane control room. The opening and closing of the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 can be controlled through the grab hook connector 3, and the opening and closing of the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 can be controlled according to the tension data transmitted by the tension weighing sensor 6.
[0024] The first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 are both rotatably connected to the limit shaft 15, and the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 are located at the limit shaft 15 in a cross design. A notch is provided on the side of the bottom end of the first grab hook 11 close to the second grab hook 12, and a protrusion matching the notch of the first grab hook 11 is provided on the side of the bottom end of the second grab hook 12 close to the first grab hook 11.

[0026] Working principle: During use, first set the control program for the PLC controller 13, set the tension threshold according to the force strength of the lifting chain 2, and when lifting heavy objects, the user lowers the hook connector 3 to the top of the heavy object through the control end in the crane control room, and then controls the servo motor 14 to rotate, and the driving end of the servo motor 14 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 7 drives the lifting and adjusting plate 8 to move downward, and the lifting and adjusting plate 8 moves downward to drive the connecting support rod 10 to rotate and move downward. The movement of the connecting support rod 10 drives the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 to rotate around the limit shaft 15, so that the bottom ends of the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 are separated, and then the lifting rope tied to the heavy object is placed between the first hook 11 and the second hook 12, and then the servo motor 14 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the lifting and adjusting plate 8 to move upward, indirectly driving the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 to rotate so that the bottom ends of the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 are tightly attached, and the protrusion at the bottom end of the second hook 12 is tightly inserted into the first hook 11 The user then controls the lifting to start rising. During the rising process, the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 pull the lifting rope upward and gradually lift the heavy object. At the same time, the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 transmit the pulling force to the limit shaft 15, and the limit shaft 15 transmits the pulling force to the grab hook connector 3. The grab hook connector 3 pulls the pulling force weighing sensor 6 downward. At this time, the pulling force weighing sensor 6 transmits the pulling force data to the PLC controller 13 in real time. When the pulling force data is less than the predetermined threshold, the user The crane lifts the heavy object and transfers it to the desired position and puts the heavy object down, then controls the servo motor 14 to start and push the lifting and adjusting plate 8 to move downward so that the bottom ends of the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 are separated and the lifting rope is lowered. When the heavy object exceeds the predetermined threshold, the PLC controller 13 sends a control instruction to control the servo motor 14 to start, push the lifting and adjusting plate 8 to move downward so that the bottom ends of the first grab hook 11 and the second grab hook 12 are separated, thereby unhooking the lifting rope, thereby reminding the construction personnel that the heavy object is too heavy to be lifted.
[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
