Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lifting equipment limit, in particular to a 360-degree dead angle-free spring-type travel limiter. Background Art
[0002] In order to prevent the occurrence of top collision accidents in lifting equipment or the limit of lifting equipment during travel, most of them are completed by limit switches. At present, the existing anti-top collision limit devices on the market include pull rod limit type, heavy hammer limit type, photoelectric limit type, and the pallet limit type and top rod limit type that the applicant has applied for, etc. They all have the following disadvantages: for example, the photoelectric limit device, this kind of limit device is OK when it is installed at the beginning, but after a period of use, once the sensor sensing head is covered with dust, its sensitivity is significantly reduced, and malfunction or failure often occurs; another example is the pull rod type anti-top collision device, the length of its pull rod must be equal to the length of the wire rope drum, the higher the height of the starting equipment is raised, the longer the pull rod is, and the larger the volume of the wire rope drum is, which greatly increases the production cost, and the longer the pull rod is, the easier it is to be bent, resulting in limit failure, and the life safety of the operator cannot be guaranteed. Another example is the heavy hammer type, whose defect is that the stroke is too long, and it must be threaded and welded with an electric welder, which is very inconvenient during installation.
[0003] At the same time, when the lifting equipment is lifting heavy objects, most of the heavy objects do not rise vertically, but swing or shake to rise, and the existing limiter push rod cannot swing, resulting in uneven force on the spring when the hook is squeezed, resulting in a too short stroke, which makes it easy for the hoisted objects to not be restricted when rotating.
