DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The embodiments described are shown in the drawings. Conversely, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0023] As Figure 1As shown, a ratchet brake device on a pull arm mechanism includes a brake ratchet 1, a brake pawl 6 and a hydraulic push rod 11, the brake ratchet 1 is installed with a drum side plate 4 through a high-strength bolt 2 and an elastic cylindrical pin 3, the brake pawl 6 is assembled with a brake support 5 through a first pin shaft 7, a second pin shaft 10 is assembled in the middle hole of the brake support 5, the upper part of the brake pawl 6 is hung with the upper part of a spring 9, and the lower part of the spring 9 is hung on the second pin shaft 10. The brake support 5 is welded with a mechanism base frame. The first pin shaft 7 is fixed through a first split pin 8. The middle hole of the brake support 5 has three groups, so that the second pin shaft 10 can be assembled at different positions of the three groups of holes. The upper part of the hydraulic push rod 11 is a push rod head hole capable of stretching and retracting, the push rod head hole is assembled in a connecting hole at the rear part of the brake pawl 6 through a third pin shaft 12. The third pin shaft 12 is fixed through a second split pin 13. The connecting hole of the lower part of the push rod body of the hydraulic push rod 11 is assembled in a connecting hole of the brake support 5 through a fourth pin shaft 14. The fourth pin shaft is fixed through a third split pin 15.

[0024] After the device is powered on, the brake ratchet 1 and the brake pawl 6 are driven to separate from each other by the action of the hydraulic push rod 11, so that the pull arm mechanism can work normally. Once the device is shut down or encounters an emergency power failure, the brake pawl 6 is automatically reset by the restoring force of the spring 9, engages with the brake ratchet 1, and realizes the brake function, thereby improving the safety performance of the device as a third brake on the pull arm mechanism.

[0025] Specifically, when the device is started, the hydraulic push rod 11 is powered on in advance, and then the push rod is extended. At this time, the brake pawl 6 rotates around the first pin shaft 7, so as to be separated from the gear of the brake ratchet 1, so that the drum side plate 4 can freely act and work normally.

[0026] When the device is not started or encounters an emergency stop, the device will be powered off. At this time, the hydraulic push rod 11 is retracted under the action of the pulling force of the spring 9, and drives the brake pawl 6 to rotate around the first pin shaft 7. When the brake pawl 6 contacts the gear of the brake ratchet 1, the action of the drum side plate 4 is limited, thereby playing a braking role.

[0027] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
