[0002] The spring balancer is an auxiliary tool used in conjunction with an operating tool. It uses the energy stored in the coil spring to keep the suspended operating tool in a weightless state. Since it greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator and improves labor productivity, it is widely used in various production fields.

[0003] The main components of a spring balancer are a cover, a coil spring, a pulley and a wire rope. Its power mainly comes from the contraction force of the spring. The spring balancer will have a strong contraction potential energy under high load, and when this contraction force reaches the weight of the heavy object, it can pull it up.

[0004] When the load of the spring balancer is instantly cleared, the wire rope will be quickly pulled back into the housing under the force of the contraction of the coil spring. During this process, if the user is not careful, the quickly locked wire rope will injure the fingers. Therefore, the applicant has made a useful design and found a solution to the above problem. The technical solution to be introduced below was produced in this context. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Reference example Figures 1 to 3 The spring balancer with a protective function includes a body 1 and a wire rope 2. The body 1 is provided with a bracket 3 for the wire rope 2 to pass through. The bracket 3 is provided with a horizontally movable protective device 4. The protective device 4 includes a first sleeve 41 and a second sleeve 42. The first sleeve 41 and the second sleeve 42 are provided with a through hole 43 for the wire rope 2 to pass through. The first sleeve 41 is evenly distributed with a plurality of clamping blocks 5 with the through hole 43 as the axis. The clamping block 5 is provided with a plurality of anti-sliding blocks 51 from top to bottom. A spring 6 is provided on the back of the clamping block 5 and abuts against the first sleeve 41 so that the anti-sliding block 51 abuts against the outer wall of the wire rope 2. The second sleeve 42 is threadedly connected to the first sleeve 41. An inclined guide part 421 is provided at the entrance of the through hole 43 of the second sleeve 42. The guide part 421 guides the wire rope 2 to reset in an orderly manner, so that the wire rope 2 shakes within a limited range during the pulling back process, thereby preventing the lifting ring 7 from hitting nearby equipment, objects and people due to the rapidly pulled back wire rope 2.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that the first sleeve 41 is provided with a cavity 411 for accommodating the clamping block 5. Limiting grooves 412 are provided on both sides of the cavity 411.

The clamping block 5 is provided with an arc-shaped contact surface 54. The anti-sliding block 51 is arranged on the contact surface 54. The blind hole 53 provides a space for accommodating the spring 6 and prevents the spring 6 from being over-compressed. The contact surface 54 increases the contact area with the wire rope 2. The spring 6 releases elastic force to the clamping block 5, so that the clamping block 5 is closely in contact with the wire rope 2, increasing the friction between the clamping block 5 and the wire rope 2. The anti-sliding block 51 further increases the friction between the wire rope 2 and the clamping block 5, preventing the load of the spring 6 balancer from being instantly cleared to zero, thereby reducing the speed at which the wire rope 2 is quickly pulled back under the force of the winding spring contraction, thereby ensuring the safety of the user.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that a lifting ring 7 is provided at the end of the wire rope 2, and a buffer block 8 is provided between the lifting ring 7 and the second sleeve 42. The lifting ring 7 is connected to the suspended object, and the buffer block 8 reduces the impact force of the lifting ring 7 hitting the second sleeve 42.
