Detailed implementation manners

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments in the present utility model fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] The following Figures 1 - 4 describes a stacker and a load platform loose rope detection and anti - fall device thereof of the present utility model.

[0028] A load platform loose rope detection and anti - fall device provided in this embodiment is arranged on the load platform 15. As Figures 1 - 2 shown, it includes: a fixed frame 1, a connecting piece 2, an elastic component and a link mechanism.

[0029] Wherein, the upper end of the connecting piece 2 is connected with a suspension rope 3, the elastic component is connected with the lower end of the connecting piece 2, and the elastic component can provide a downward elastic force to the connecting piece 2 when the suspension rope 3 is disconnected, so as to drive the connecting piece 2 to move downward; the link mechanism is arranged on the fixed frame 1, the first end of the link mechanism is connected with the connecting piece 2, and a brake block 4 is arranged at the second end of the link mechanism. The link mechanism can drive the brake block 4 to contact the stacker column 14 to generate a braking force when the connecting piece 2 moves downward.

[0030] It can be seen from the above solution that during the process of the load platform 15 being lifted and lowered by the suspension rope 3, when loose rope or rope breakage occurs, the elastic component will drive the connecting piece 2 to move downward rapidly through the elastic force. When the connecting piece 2 moves downward, it will drive the link mechanism to move, and the link mechanism further drives the brake block 4 to contact the stacker column 14, generating a braking force through mutual friction to prevent the load platform 15 from sliding downward, thereby preventing the load platform 15 from falling. The structure of the present utility model is simple, there is no need to install a speed limiter, and it only needs to be installed on the load platform 15, occupying a small space and having a remarkable braking effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, a controller and a contact switch 7 are further included. The controller is electrically connected to the contact switch 7. The contact switch 7 is arranged below one side of the connecting member 2. The elastic component can touch the contact switch 7 when moving downward to send the information of the broken suspension rope 3 to the controller.

[0032] With such a setting, by arranging the contact switch 7, the movement of the elastic component during rope loosening or breaking is utilized to trigger the contact switch 7, thereby transmitting a detection signal to the controller, realizing rope loosening or breaking alarm, and integrating the detection of rope loosening or breaking with the anti-falling braking of the loading platform 15. It occupies a small space, can quickly respond when the rope breaks or becomes loose, prevent the equipment or personnel from falling, and ensure safety.

[0033] In some embodiments, the link mechanism includes a rotating arm 5 and a connecting shaft 6. The rotating arm 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1. The first end of the rotating arm 5 is connected to the connecting member 2, the second end of the rotating arm 5 is connected to the connecting shaft 6, and a braking block 4 is connected to the free end of the connecting shaft 6. The rotating arm 5 can rotate when the connecting member 2 moves downward, and drives the braking block 4 to contact the stacker column 14 through the connecting shaft 6.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting shaft 6 includes a first sphere, a second sphere and a connecting rod. The first sphere is arranged at the second end of the rotating arm 5, the second sphere is arranged at the upper end of the braking block 4, and bearing outer rings are arranged at both ends of the connecting rod. The first sphere is rotatably arranged in one of the bearing outer rings, and the second sphere is rotatably arranged in the other bearing outer ring; that is to say, the bearing outer ring and the sphere form a spherical plain bearing, that is, the connecting shaft 6 is composed of two rod ends spherical plain bearings. Through the designed multi-degree-of-freedom connecting shaft 6, the movement of the rotating arm 5 is transmitted to the braking block 4, so that during the upward rotation of the second end of the rotating arm 5, the braking block 4 can gradually approach the stacker column 14 and be in close contact with the column, fixing the loading platform 15 on the column to prevent the loading platform 15 from falling.

[0035] Further, a guiding seat 8 is further included. The guiding seat 8 is installed on the loading platform 15. The guiding seat 8 is provided with a sliding groove. The braking block 4 is movably arranged in the sliding groove along a first direction. The first direction has an included angle with the vertical direction, and the included angle is less than 90 degrees. Thus, the braking block 4 gradually approaches the stacker column 14 along an inclined upward direction when acting. Since the braking block 4 moves obliquely upward under the drive of the second end of the rotating arm 5 instead of moving linearly up and down, one of the two rod ends spherical plain bearings forming the connecting shaft 6 can be set as a bent rod type rod ends spherical plain bearing for realizing the oblique movement of the braking block 4.

[0036] As Figure 3As shown, the guiding seat 8 includes a first clamping plate 81, a connecting block, and a second clamping plate 82. The first clamping plate 81 is connected to the loading platform 15. The second clamping plate 82 is spaced apart from the first clamping plate 81. The connecting block is disposed between the first clamping plate 81 and the second clamping plate 82 and is capable of slidingly contacting the brake block 4. The first clamping plate 81, the connecting block, and the second clamping plate 82 enclose to form a chute, and the opening side of the chute faces the stacker column 14. The surface of the connecting block facing the stacker column 14 is an inclined surface, such that the brake block 4 slides along the inclined surface and gradually approaches the stacker column 14.

[0037] With such an arrangement, the brake block 4 is slidably disposed in the chute. By providing the chute, a guiding effect is provided for the brake block 4 to ensure that the brake block 4 can move along a set trajectory, thereby achieving the braking effect on the loading platform 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, a guiding hole 9 is provided on the second clamping plate 82. The guiding hole 9 extends along a first direction. A protruding structure is provided on one side of the brake block 4. The protruding structure is adapted to the guiding hole 9 and is movably disposed in the guiding hole 9.

[0039] Optionally, guiding holes 9 are oppositely provided on the first clamping plate 81 and the second clamping plate 82. The guiding holes 9 extend along the first direction. Protruding structures are provided on both sides of the brake block 4. The protruding structures are adapted to the guiding holes 9 and are movably disposed in the guiding holes 9.

[0040] With such an arrangement, by adopting a sliding connection method of concave-convex cooperation, not only is the movement direction of the brake block 4 further restricted, but also the stability and reliability of the connection between the brake block 4 and the chute are improved, ensuring that the brake block 4 can move along the first direction without skewing and the brake block 4 will not disengage from the chute.

[0041] In some embodiments, a buffer member 16 is further provided. The buffer member 16 is disposed between the guiding seat 8 and the rotating arm 5. For example, the buffer member 16 is a spring. The acting force of the spring is less than the acting force of the elastic member 12. When one end of the spring is connected to the second end of the rotating arm 5 and the other end of the spring is connected to the second clamping plate 82, when the lifting rope 3 becomes slack or breaks, the connecting member 2 descends rapidly and drives the second end of the rotating arm 5 to rise. By providing the spring, the impact force and vibration generated by the sudden displacement of the rotating arm 5 can be prevented, thereby protecting the stability and safety of the entire mechanism; and when the maintenance of the lifting rope 3 is completed, the spring helps to pull back or push back the displaced components to their original positions.

[0042] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4, in this embodiment, the fixing frame 1 is provided with a connecting plate 10. The elastic component includes a sleeve 11, an elastic member 12 and a connecting rod 13. The upper end of the connecting rod 13 penetrates through the connecting plate 10 and is connected to the lower end of the connecting member 2. The lower end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the bottom of the sleeve 11. The elastic member 12 can be a disc spring, which is arranged in a compressed state in the sleeve 11. The upper end of the elastic member 12 abuts against the connecting plate 10, and the lower end of the elastic member 12 abuts against the bottom of the sleeve 11. The elastic member 12 is used to apply an elastic force to the bottom of the sleeve 11 when the lifting rope 3 breaks, so as to drive the sleeve 11 and the connecting rod 13 to move downward.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown, the connecting plate 10 is horizontally arranged. The connecting rod 13 vertically penetrates through the connecting plate 10 and can move up and down along the vertical direction. The upper end of the connecting rod 13 is located above the connecting plate 10 and is connected to the connecting member 2. The lower end of the connecting rod 13 is located below the connecting plate 10 and is connected to the bottom of the sleeve 11. The top of the sleeve 11 abuts against the lower surface of the connecting plate 10. When the loading platform 15 is normally lifted and lowered, the lifting rope 3 exerts a traction force on the connecting rod 13 through the connecting member 2. The elastic member 12 is arranged in a compressed state in the sleeve 11. When the lifting rope 3 is slack or breaks, the traction force at the upper end of the connecting rod 13 disappears or decreases. The bottom of the sleeve 11 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 12, so that the sleeve 11 and the connecting rod 13 move downward together. The connecting rod 13 drives the connecting member 2 to move, and the connecting member 2 drives the first end of the rotating arm 5 to move downward together, and further transmits the power to the brake block 4 through the transfer shaft 6, so that the brake block 4 contacts the stacker column 14 to prevent the loading platform 15 from descending.

[0044] Optionally, the lower end of the connecting rod 13 is provided with a thread. The connecting rod 13 passes through the bottom of the cylinder body, and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 13 outside the sleeve 11 through a nut to connect the connecting rod 13 to the bottom of the sleeve 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, a protrusion is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the sleeve 11. The protrusion can contact the proximity switch 7 when the sleeve 11 moves downward. With such a setting, by improving the structure of the sleeve 11, when the lifting rope 3 is slack or breaks, the protrusion will touch the proximity switch 7 during the downward movement of the sleeve 11, so as to send a signal of the falling of the loading platform 15 to the controller to realize the alarm for loose rope or broken rope.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1, the embodiment of the present utility model further provides a stacker, which includes a stacker column 14 and a load platform 15. The load platform 15 is provided with the above-mentioned stacker load platform loose rope detection anti-falling device. The load platform 15 is slidably connected to the stacker column 14 and can move up and down along the stacker column 14. By adopting the above-mentioned stacker load platform loose rope detection anti-falling device, the structure is simple, the occupied space is small, there is no need to set a speed limiter anymore, and the loose and broken rope detection and anti-falling braking can be integrated into one. During the lifting process of the load platform 15, it can quickly respond when the rope breaks or becomes loose, prevent the equipment or personnel from falling, and ensure safety.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit them; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
