Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of construction machinery, in particular to a crane load yaw detection and warning device. Background Technique

[0002] When a hoisting machine hoists a load, under the excitation of external loads and the self-excitation of slewing motion and luffing motion, the load will have obvious yaw and a long swing period. When the yaw angle is relatively large, it seriously affects the hoisting operation efficiency and safety. It is very necessary to detect the load yaw in real time during the operation of the crane to understand the law of load yaw motion, implement load anti-sway control technology, and ensure the safety of crane operation.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention provides "a real-time detection system and method for the spatial swing angle of a crane load", publication number: CN108217460A. This application includes an acquisition unit, a data acquisition module, a data processing module, and a data output module. The acquisition unit is used for four GPS locators to acquire their own spatial coordinate information. The data acquisition module is used to collect the spatial coordinate information acquired by the four GPS locators. The data processing module is used to process the acquired spatial position coordinates to obtain the real-time yaw angle information of the load. The data output module is used to output the real-time yaw angle information. The above method calculates the real-time yaw angle information of the load through the aforementioned detection system, effectively improving the detection accuracy of load yaw detection, and can effectively solve the problem of real-time detection of the yaw angle of a complex spreader system of a large crane during actual operation.

[0004] In the above technology, the real-time detection system and method for the spatial swing angle of a crane load use GPS locators to monitor the real-time swing angle information of the load during use. Since GPS locators are greatly affected by the signals of the operating environment, when the signal reception of the GPS locator is poor, there will be a certain time delay in the detected data, resulting in the inability to give an alarm prompt to personnel in a timely and effective manner when the yaw angle is too large, affecting the safety of the overall operation.

[0026] Embodiment 2:

[0027] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as shown in the present utility model Figures 1 - 4 shown, guide slide rods 18 are movably connected between the two ends of the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the two ends of the moving plate 22.

[0028] In this technical solution, through the setting of the guide slide rod 18, the purpose of guiding between the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the moving plate 22 is achieved, avoiding the inclination of the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the moving plate 22 during the moving process. Through the setting of the support shaft 17, the purpose of stably supporting the left side of the worm gear 16 is achieved, effectively avoiding the inclination of the worm gear 16 due to force. Through the settings of the fixed sleeve 23 and the sealing ring 24, the sealing performance of the contact between the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the fixed seat 8 is effectively improved, avoiding dust and water from entering the inside of the fixed seat 8.

Through the setting of the maintenance plate 14, it is convenient for personnel to perform maintenance operations on the inside of the fixed box 1.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: First, the fixed box 1 is fixedly installed with the boom of the crane, and the steel rope can pass through the three groups of contact plates 6. When the steel rope has a large-angle yaw during the load lifting process of the crane, it will cause the steel rope to push the corresponding contact plate 6 to move during the yaw. When the contact plate 6 moves, it can compress the first spring 4 on the fixed seat 8, and at the same time, it can drive the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the magnet 19 to move. Under the action of the movement of the magnet 19, it can contact the magnetic control switch 20, and under the action of the magnetic force of the magnet 19, the contacts inside the magnetic control switch 20 are closed, so that the sound and light alarm 11 can work, and can give an alarm prompt to the surrounding staff when the yaw angle of the steel rope is too large, so that the staff can discover and make corresponding safety treatments in time. Through the setting of the horizontal sensor 13, it can effectively detect the level of the contact plate 6 during the angle adjustment of the crane boom. And when the contact plate 6 tilts due to the angle adjustment of the crane boom, by starting the driving motor 2 to work, it can drive the worm 15 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 15 can drive the worm wheel 16 and the rotating shaft 25 to rotate along the bearing on the fixed box 1. The rotation of the rotating shaft 25 can drive the fixing plate 12, the cross shaft 9, the fixing ring 7, the fixed seat 8, the U-shaped moving rod 5 and the contact plate 6 to rotate, and can effectively adjust the level of the contact plate 6, effectively avoiding a large deviation and dislocation between the three groups of contact plates 6 and the steel rope due to tilting, and ensuring the stable progress of the yaw detection work during the load process of the crane.
