Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a safety protection device for a hoisting machine, belonging to the technical field of hoisting machine components. Background Art

[0002] A hoisting machine refers to a multi-action machine that vertically lifts and horizontally transports heavy objects within a certain range, also known as an overhead crane, gantry crane, or crane; the working characteristic of a hoisting machine is intermittent movement, that is, in a working cycle, actions such as material taking, transporting, and unloading alternate. For the safety of the hoisting work of the hoisting machine, existing hoisting machines are equipped with various protection devices. For example, the Chinese patent authorization publication number: CN208700423U discloses a safety protection device for a hoisting machine, including a beam bridge, a sliding table, and an alarm box. By setting shock-absorbing cushions, this protection device can effectively reduce the impact force generated when the hoisting machine collides with a wall or other objects, and reduce the swinging amplitude of the hook to prevent damage to nearby personnel or equipment caused by the hook swinging too large. When the existing hoisting machine is hoisting, when there is a strong wind and the hoisting rope swings greatly, or when there is an abnormal collision of the hoisted object, the crane trolley is pulled by the hoisting rope, which is likely to cause the crane trolley to be strongly pulled, resulting in the walking wheels of the crane trolley deviating from the guide rail, resulting in jamming of the guide rail or deformation of the crane trolley. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a safety protection device for a hoisting machine, which can quickly brake the hoisting machine when the hoisting rope swings greatly, and at the same time can assist the crane trolley to hold the guide rail tightly, making it safer to use.

[0004] The safety protection device for a hoisting machine of the utility model includes a guide rail installed at a high position, on which a crane trolley is installed, and further includes a safety protection component, and the safety protection component includes

[0005] a detection module, the detection module includes a pedestal, the pedestal is fixed to the bottom surface of the crane trolley and is arranged opposite to the wire winding and unwinding end of the crane trolley, and the steel wire rope of the crane trolley passes through the pedestal movably; a plurality of stress plates are arranged inside the pedestal, a guide rod is fixed on the surface of the stress plate away from each other, the guide rod passes through the pedestal movably and is screwed with a first limit nut, and a spring body is arranged between the pedestal and the stress plate on the guide rod; a proximity switch is arranged on the stress plate; the proximity switch is connected to the PLC of the crane trolley;

[0006] Protective module, the protective module includes a C-shaped seat, the C-shaped seat is fixed to the crane trolley, and the C-shaped seat is movably engaged with the top and bottom surfaces of the guide rail; an upper sliding column and a lower sliding column are respectively slidably arranged on the top and bottom surfaces of the C-shaped seat, and second limit nuts are respectively screwed on the top of the upper sliding column and the bottom of the lower sliding column; an electromagnet module is fixed at one end where the upper sliding column and the lower sliding column are close to each other.

[0007] Under normal conditions, the crane trolley travels back and forth on the guide rail, and the crane trolley drives the steel wire rope to unwind and wind, so as to realize hoisting, and the steel wire rope rises and falls in the pedestal; when the steel wire rope has a large swing amplitude, the steel wire rope presses on the force receiving plate, so that the force receiving plate drives the guide rod to slide along the pedestal, the force receiving plate compresses the spring body, the proximity switch of the force receiving plate is triggered, and a trigger instruction is sent to the PLC of the crane trolley; after the PLC of the crane trolley receives the instruction, the crane trolley immediately brakes and stops, and at the same time the electromagnet modules attract each other, so that the upper sliding column and the lower sliding column approach each other, so as to tightly hold the guide rail until the proximity switch is not triggered a second time within the threshold time; the electromagnet modules repel each other to release the state of holding the guide rail.

[0008] Further, the electromagnet module includes an electromagnet fixed to the upper sliding column through a base, and an electromagnet or a neodymium magnet fixed to the lower sliding column through a base; the electromagnet can be used to attract and hold the guide rail tightly or repel and disengage from the guide rail, avoiding abrasion to the guide rail.

[0009] Further, a guide wheel is fixed on the base, and the guide wheel is rollingly arranged on the top and bottom surfaces of the guide rail. Under normal conditions, the electromagnets repel each other, so that the upper sliding column and the lower sliding column are separated from each other, and the walking is guided by the guide wheel. When the proximity switch is triggered, the electromagnets attract each other tightly, so that the guide wheels are pressed against the guide rail.

[0010] Further, a reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat movably passes through the center of the pedestal, a limit plate is fixed to the bottom of the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat through bolts, the limit plate fits the bottom surface of the pedestal, and a limit spring is arranged between the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat and the pedestal; the steel wire rope of the crane trolley movably passes through the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat, and the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat can transmit the steel wire rope pressure to the force receiving plate. When the steel wire rope is transmitted to the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat, the limit spring is compressed, and the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat moves towards one side of the pedestal, so that the reverse convex-shaped cylinder seat presses on the force receiving plate.

[0011] Further, the proximity switch is a pressure transmitter, a mechanical proximity switch or an infrared proximity switch. When the hoisting rope (steel wire rope) swings, the hoisting rope presses on the proximity switch. If the pressure transmitter detects a set pressure, the mechanical proximity switch or the infrared proximity switch is triggered to act. When the proximity switch is triggered, a trigger instruction is sent to the PLC of the crane trolley.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the safety protection device for hoisting machinery of the present utility model can quickly brake the hoisting machinery when the hoisting rope swings significantly, and can assist the crane trolley to tightly hold the guide rail at the same time, making it safer to use, and can prevent the walking wheels from deviating from the guide rail, thereby protecting the crane trolley and the guide rail for the trolley to travel on.
