Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of loading and unloading equipment, in particular to a thin plate transfer sling. Background Art

[0002] When loading and unloading cargo at ports, cranes are typically used with specialized lifting gear. Cranes have a large load capacity and height, allowing them to lift containers or other cargo high up and then maneuver them into the ship's hold for loading and unloading. Due to their flexibility and quick response, cranes are particularly suitable for the rapid loading and unloading of smaller cargoes.

[0003] Currently, thinner panels, such as formwork and steel plates, are typically stacked and bundled when transported on ships. The bundles are then stacked as units in the cargo area, separated by wooden planks. For this type of transportation, a forklift-like spreader is typically used for loading and unloading. The spreader consists of a hanger frame and multiple tines below it. The hanger frame is suspended from a crane hook. The tines are inserted through the wooden planks into the gaps between the bundles, lifting the bundles as the crane lifts.

[0004] However, for thin plates, after being stacked for a long time, the plates are supported by wooden planks. Under the action of gravity, the middle position of the support point will become concave, and the distance between the upper and lower plate bundles will become smaller, making it difficult for the fork tines to enter. The staff needs to hold the sling by hand to fine-tune the pitch and up and down position of the fork tines. However, the sling is usually a steel structure, and the overall height is nearly one person high. It is heavy and will shake at the lifting point. The adjustment operation is difficult and there are certain safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that it is difficult to fine-tune the position of a sling during the current loading, unloading and transportation of thin plates, and provides a thin plate transportation sling.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention employs a technical solution comprising a thin plate transfer spreader comprising a spreader body, the spreader body comprising a fork assembly and a beam assembly, the fork assembly being mounted to the lower end of the beam assembly, an adjustment beam being hingedly mounted to the upper end of the beam assembly, and a booster spring being provided between the adjustment beam and the beam assembly. This solution enhances the fork-tine spreader by adding a movable adjustment beam and providing a booster spring between the adjustment beam and the beam assembly. The spring's elastic force reduces the force required to adjust the spreader body, making the spreader body more flexible, convenient, and safer to use.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting beam assembly is L-shaped, comprising a first horizontal beam and a vertical beam. The first end of the first horizontal beam is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical beam, and the fork assembly is mounted on the lower end of the vertical beam. The lower end of the adjustment beam is hinged to the second end of the first horizontal beam, and the rotation plane of the adjustment beam is the plane of the L-shape of the lifting beam assembly. This allows the lifting point to move toward the center of the fork tines, adapting to the center of gravity of the cargo, and ensuring more stable lifting.

[0008] Preferably, the first crossbeam is provided with lower hanging points on both sides, and the adjustment beam is provided with upper hanging points on both sides, with booster springs connected between the upper and lower hanging points on the corresponding sides. The booster springs on both sides increase the auxiliary elastic force and balance the forces at both ends of the hinge shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the lower hanging point is close to the second end of the first crossbeam; the upper hanging point is close to the upper end of the adjustment beam. The assist spring, the first crossbeam, and the adjustment beam form a triangular structure, which allows for more complete elastic release and more stable suspension.

[0010] Preferably, the fork assembly includes a second crossbeam, which is perpendicular to the first crossbeam, the middle part of the second crossbeam is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical beam, and both ends of the second crossbeam are connected with fork tines, which are located below the first crossbeam.

[0011] Preferably, a sleeve is provided at one end of the tine, the sleeve being sleeved on the outside of the second crossbeam and being able to slide along the second crossbeam, and a locking assembly being provided between the sleeve and the second crossbeam, so that the spacing between the tines can be adjusted to accommodate cargo of different sizes.

[0012] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a bolt, a first locking hole is provided on the sleeve, a plurality of second locking holes are provided on the second beam along its length direction, one of the first locking hole and the second locking hole is processed with an internal thread, and the bolt is installed in the first locking hole and the second locking hole.

[0013] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the present invention improves the current fork-tooth sling, and arranges an adjustment beam and an assist spring at the suspension point. The adjustment beam, the assist spring and the first crossbeam on the top of the sling body form a triangular structure. The sling body is lifted by the assist spring, and the operator can adjust the position and pitch state of the sling body with less force, which makes it more convenient and quick to use, and improves safety. Through structural design, it adapts to the center of the hoisted cargo, and can adapt to the center of gravity of the cargo through the swing beam and the spring, making the sling more stable.
