[0038] refer to Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a chain-type cantilever crane is proposed for hoisting workpieces including but not limited to single-piece nets. The chain-type cantilever crane includes a column 1, a rotating beam 2, a rotating drive assembly 3, a clamping assembly 4 and a lifting drive assembly 5, wherein the rotating beam 2 is vertically connected to the column 1 and can rotate with the column 1 as an axis, the clamping assembly 4 is arranged on the rotating beam 2 for clamping the workpiece, the lifting drive assembly 5 is configured to drive the clamping assembly 4 to rise and fall, and the rotating drive assembly 3 includes a floating tensioning connector 31 , a rotating chain 32, a rotating sprocket 33 and a rotating driving member 34. The rotating driving member 34 is arranged on the rotating beam 2 and is connected to the rotating sprocket 33 to drive the rotating sprocket 33 to rotate. The first end of the rotating chain 32 is fixed on the column 1, and the second end of the rotating chain 32 bypasses the rotating sprocket 33 and is connected to the floating tensioning connector 31 provided on the column 1. The rotating chain 32 is engaged with the rotating sprocket 33, and the floating tensioning connector 31 provides tension to the rotating chain 32 to keep the rotating chain 32 in a tensioned state.

[0039] The above-mentioned chain-type cantilever crane utilizes the rotating driving member 34 to drive the rotating sprocket 33 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the rotating sprocket 33 and the rotating chain 32, the rotating sprocket 33 drives the rotating beam 2 to rotate relative to the column 1. During the rotation process, the floating tensioning connector 31 provides tensioning force to the rotating chain 32, reducing the possibility of the rotating beam 2 shaking due to inertia when it stops rotating.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mounting seat 38 is provided on the lower surface of one end of the rotating crossbeam 2, adjacent to the upright post 1. A rotating drive member 34 is mounted on the rotating crossbeam 2 via the mounting seat 38. The rotating drive member 34 is a motor, whose output shaft extends downward and connects to the rotating sprocket 33. The floating tensioning connector 31 is a pneumatic cylinder, whose piston end maintains a contracting tendency to keep the rotating chain 32 taut. Specifically, the cylinder is connected to the upright post 1 via a fixed seat 37, which is rotatably connected to the upright post 1 via a first rotating shaft, the axial direction of which is aligned with the height of the upright post 1.

[0041] In other embodiments, the floating tension connection member 31 may also be an oil-gas spring.

[0042] refer to Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the rotary drive assembly 3 also includes a tensioning member 35 and a tensioning seat 36. The first end of the rotary chain 32 is connected to the column 1 via the tensioning member 35 mounted on the tensioning seat 36. The tensioning seat 36 is rotatably mounted on the column 1 via a second rotating shaft, the axial direction of which is also aligned with the height of the column 1. It is important to emphasize that the position of the tensioning member 35 on the tensioning seat 36 is adjustable. Specifically, the tensioning member 35 is threaded onto the tensioning seat 36, and tightening the tensioning member 35 facilitates tensioning of the rotary chain 32.

[0043] Optionally, a tension adjustment member 35 is also connected between the cylinder serving as the floating tension connection member 31 and the rotating chain 32. The position of the tension adjustment member 35 and the cylinder is adjustable to further increase the adjustability of the rotating chain 32. Specifically, the tension adjustment member 35 is also screwed to the piston end of the cylinder.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to further improve the stability of the rotating beam 2 when it stops rotating, the chain-type cantilever crane also includes a positioning assembly 6, which is used to lock the rotating beam 2 and the column 1. In this embodiment, the positioning assembly 6 includes a positioning drive 61, a positioning pin 62, and a positioning seat 63. The positioning drive 61 is provided on one of the rotating beam 2 and the column 1, while the positioning seat 63 is provided on the other of the rotating beam 2 and the column 1. The positioning pin 62 is provided at the output end of the positioning drive 61, and the positioning seat 63 is provided with a positioning hole for inserting the positioning pin 62.

[0045] Specifically, the positioning driver 61 is a pneumatic cylinder mounted on the mounting base 38 via a connecting base 64, while the positioning base 63 is fixed to the column 1 via a fixing plate 65. When the pneumatic cylinder serving as the positioning driver 61 is extended, the positioning pin 62 is inserted into the positioning hole, achieving positioning between the rotating crossbeam 2 and the column 1; when the pneumatic cylinder serving as the positioning driver 61 is retracted, the positioning pin 62 is disengaged from the positioning hole, facilitating the rotation of the rotating crossbeam 2.

[0046] More specifically, in order to reduce the difficulty of inserting the positioning pin 62 into the positioning hole, the positioning pin 62 is a tapered pin.

[0047] In order to improve the stability of the rotating beam 2 during rotation, the chain cantilever crane further includes guide wheels 8 , at least two guide wheels 8 are rotatably arranged on the connecting seat 64 and in rolling contact with the column 1 .

[0048] It is understood that the rotating beam 2 on the chain cantilever crane includes at least two working positions, so that the workpiece can be transferred from one working position to another working position. Figure 3 ), the second working position ( Figure 4) and the third working position ( Figure 5 ) as an example, in this embodiment, there are two positioning drive members 61, namely the first positioning drive member and the second positioning drive member, the first positioning drive member and the second positioning drive member are respectively arranged on both sides of the circumference of the rotation drive member 34 and are respectively connected with the first positioning pin and the second positioning pin, wherein the first positioning drive member is arranged on the side of the rotation drive member 34 close to the floating tensioning connection member 31, and the second positioning drive member is arranged on the side of the rotation drive member 34 close to the tensioning seat 36, and there are three positioning seats 63, namely the first positioning seat 63a, the second positioning seat 63b and the third positioning seat 63c, which are arranged in sequence from the side close to the floating tensioning connection member 31 to the side of the tensioning seat 36.

[0049] When the rotating beam 2 rotates to the first working position, the first positioning drive member drives the first positioning pin to be inserted into the first positioning seat 63a; when the rotating beam 2 rotates to the second working position, the first positioning drive member drives the first positioning pin to be inserted into the second positioning seat 63b; when the rotating beam 2 rotates to the third working position, the second positioning drive member drives the second positioning pin to be inserted into the third positioning seat 63c.

[0050] In this embodiment, the circumferential position of the positioning seat 63 on the fixed plate 65 is adjustable to accommodate different preset operating positions of the rotating crossbeam 2. Specifically, the fixed plate 65 is provided with an arcuate slide rail 66, and the positioning seat 63 is slidably mounted on the arcuate slide rail 66 and locked to the fixed plate 65 via a removable locking member. It will be understood that the arcuate slide rail 66 is coaxial with the column 1. To adjust the position of the positioning seat 63, simply remove the locking member and adjust the position of the positioning seat 63 on the fixed plate 65. Specifically, the locking member is a bolt that can be inserted between the fixed plate 65 and the positioning seat 63.

[0051] It is understandable that, according to the number of preset working positions of the rotating beam 2 , the number of positioning driving members 61 and positioning seats 63 can also be adaptively adjusted, which is not completely consistent with this embodiment.

[0052] refer to Figure 6 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 5 includes a lifting drive member 52, a lifting sprocket assembly 54, and a lifting frame 53. The lifting frame 53 is slidably mounted on the rotating crossbeam 2 along the height direction of the column 1. The clamping assembly 4 is disposed at the lower end of the lifting frame 53. The lifting drive member 52 is mounted on the rotating crossbeam 2 and is in transmission connection with the lifting frame 53 via the lifting sprocket assembly 54 to drive the lifting frame 53 up and down, thereby driving the clamping assembly 4 up and down. In this embodiment, the lifting drive member 52 is a motor, and the clamping assembly 4 can adopt various clamping structures in the prior art depending on the workpiece to be clamped, which are not specifically limited here.

[0053] In order to improve the operating range of the chain cantilever crane, the chain cantilever crane also includes a transverse drive assembly 7, and the lifting drive assembly 5 is slidably arranged on the rotating beam 2 along the extension direction of the rotating beam 2 through the transverse moving frame 51. The transverse drive assembly 7 is configured to drive the lifting drive assembly 5 to move along the extension direction of the rotating beam 2.

[0054] Specifically, the transverse drive assembly 7 includes a transverse drive member 71, a transverse driving sprocket 73, a transverse driven sprocket 74 and a transverse chain. The transverse drive member 71 adopts a motor. The output shaft of the motor vertically passes through the rotating beam 2 in the horizontal direction and is limited to the rotating beam 2 through the support bearing 72. The transverse driving sprocket 73 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor and is located in the rotating beam 2. The transverse driven sprocket 74 is rotatably arranged at the end of the rotating beam 2 away from the column 1 through the sprocket shaft 75. The transverse chain is wound between the transverse driving sprocket 73 and the transverse driven sprocket 74 to realize the transmission connection between the transverse driving sprocket 73 and the transverse driven sprocket 74. The transverse moving frame 51 is fixed on the transverse chain to move driven by the transverse chain.

[0055] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
