Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a collection device for overhead crane cable lifting, belonging to the technical field of wire production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Overhead cranes equipped with electromagnetic chucks are widely used in steel plants, and their usage frequency is also relatively high. The installation method with cable reels is quite common. In the original overhead crane, the cable of the electromagnetic chuck rises and falls with the chuck, and the cable reel installed on the trolley winds up the cable. The cable reel is not only expensive, but the coil spring is also prone to damage after long-term use, making it impossible to retract the cable. Moreover, the coil spring is not easy to repair after damage, and it is prone to failure, causing production stoppage. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a collection device for overhead crane cable lifting. A collection device is welded and installed on the overhead crane's balance beam, with its upper part connected to the power supply on the trolley and its lower part connected to an electromagnetic chuck. The cable rises smoothly with the electromagnetic chuck and is coiled layer by layer at the bottom of the collection device. This device has advantages such as simple manufacturing, low cost, and convenient installation. It is also less prone to damage, eliminating the need to purchase cable reels, greatly reducing spare parts costs, decreasing equipment failure rates, and alleviating the labor intensity of employees. It effectively solves the aforementioned problems existing in the background technology.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a collection device for cable lifting of an overhead crane, comprising a storage bucket and a collection device. The storage bucket is a cone-shaped body that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an opening at the top and a wire-passing hole at the bottom. The collection device comprises a gathering ring and a support rod. The bottom of the support rod is welded to the upper edge of the storage bucket, and the upper part of the support rod is connected to the gathering ring. The storage bucket is fixed on the balance beam of the overhead crane. The cable is coiled clockwise at the bottom of the storage bucket. The upper part of the cable is connected to the power supply on the overhead crane trolley, and the lower part passes through the wire-passing hole and is connected to the electromagnetic chuck of the overhead crane.
[0005] There are four support rods, which are welded at equal intervals to the upper bottom edge of the storage barrel; the support rods are at the same height as the storage barrel, and the diameter of the gathering ring matches the bottom diameter of the storage barrel.
[0006] It also includes a connecting support, through which the storage bucket is fixedly connected to the overhead crane balance beam. The connecting support consists of two channel steels welded to the overhead crane balance beam, and the bottom of the storage bucket is welded to the connecting support.
[0007] The connection support is welded to the crane's balance beam at a position that matches the position directly below the drooping cable.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by welding and installing a collection device on the balance beam of the overhead crane, the upper part is connected to the power supply on the trolley, and the lower part is connected to the electromagnetic chuck. The cable rises smoothly with the electromagnetic chuck and is coiled layer by layer at the bottom of the collection device. It has the advantages of simple manufacturing, low cost, and convenient installation. Moreover, it is not easily damaged, and there is no need to purchase cable reels, which greatly reduces spare parts costs. At the same time, it also reduces the equipment failure rate and reduces the labor intensity of employees. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the utility model embodiments clearer, the technical solution of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a small part of the utility model embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0014] A collection device for overhead crane cable lifting includes a storage bucket 3 and a collection device. The storage bucket 3 is a cone that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an opening at the top and a wire-passing hole 4 at the bottom. The collection device includes a gathering ring 1 and a support rod 2. The bottom of the support rod 2 is welded to the upper edge of the storage bucket 3, and the upper part of the support rod 2 is connected to the gathering ring 1. The storage bucket 3 is fixed on the overhead crane balance beam 11. The cable 8 is coiled clockwise at the bottom of the storage bucket 3. The upper part of the cable 8 is connected to the power supply on the overhead crane trolley 5, and the lower part passes through the wire-passing hole 4 and is connected to the overhead crane electromagnetic chuck 12.
[0015] The support rods 2 consist of four rods, which are welded at equal intervals to the upper bottom edge of the storage barrel 3. The support rods 2 are at the same height as the storage barrel 3, and the diameter of the gathering ring 1 matches the lower bottom diameter of the storage barrel 3.
[0016] It also includes a connecting support 10, through which the storage bucket 3 is fixedly connected to the overhead crane balance beam 11. The connecting support 10 is composed of two channel steels and welded to the overhead crane balance beam 11. The bottom of the storage bucket 3 is welded to the connecting support 10.
[0017] The position where the connecting support 10 is welded to the crane balance beam matches the position directly below where the cable 8 is hanging down. Example
[0018] The storage container is conical, made of 3mm steel plate, with a bottom diameter of 500mm and an open top with a diameter of 800mm and a height of 400mm. The collection device is made of φ8mm steel bars, with four evenly spaced φ8mm steel bars welded to the bottom of the storage container. These bars are connected to a 300mm diameter, φ8mm steel bar ring at a height of 400mm. The cable passes through the ring and is wound clockwise around the bottom of the storage container.
[0019] The specific production steps are as follows:
[0020] Step 1: Cut a 3mm steel plate to make an open cone with a bottom diameter of 500mm, an top diameter of 800mm, and a height of 400mm.
[0021] Step 2: Weld four φ8mm steel bars evenly spaced at the top and bottom of the storage barrel, and connect them to a 300mm diameter ring made of φ8mm steel bars with a height of 400mm.
[0022] Step 3: On the overhead crane's balance beam, directly below the drooping cable, weld two connecting supports using channel steel, 200mm high and 300mm apart.
[0023] Step 4: Weld the storage bucket to the connecting support of the overhead crane's balance beam.
[0024] Step 5: Drill a hole at a suitable position on the bottom of the storage bin, and coil the cable clockwise around the bottom of the storage bin. Connect the upper part of the cable to the power supply on the overhead crane trolley, and the lower part to the electromagnetic chuck of the overhead crane. Once powered on, it can be used normally.
[0025] This invention not only boasts advantages such as simple manufacturing, low cost, and convenient installation, but also resistance to damage, eliminating the need to purchase cable reels and significantly reducing spare parts costs. It also reduces equipment failure rates and alleviates the workload of employees.
