The emergency stop assembly includes an emergency stop switch 2 and an emergency stop rope 3. The emergency stop rope 3 is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley body 1. When the emergency stop rope 3 is pulled, it triggers the emergency stop switch 2. The emergency stop switch 2 is electrically connected to the controller. When the controller receives an emergency stop signal from the emergency stop switch 2, it controls the equipment on the hopper trolley body 1 to stop operating.
[0023] In this embodiment, an emergency stop rope 3 is installed on the hopper trolley body 1, and the emergency stop rope 3 is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley body 1, so that the emergency stop rope 3 can be quickly pulled from multiple directions of the hopper trolley body 1. Thus, in case of an emergency, the emergency stop rope 3 can be pulled at any position. The device is simple and easy to operate. When the emergency stop rope 3 is pulled, it triggers the emergency stop switch 2. The emergency stop switch 2 sends an emergency stop signal to the controller. When the controller receives the emergency stop signal from the emergency stop switch 2, it controls the equipment on the hopper trolley body 1 to stop running. The whole process is fast and timely, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
