[0026] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The embodiment of the present application provides a four-suspension-point balancing fixing device which is installed between two adjacent suspension points of a trolley frame body 1 of a crane and includes a balance bar 3 arranged in a horizontal direction, two ends of the balance bar 3 are provided with L-shaped rotating assemblies 4, one group of L-shaped rotating assemblies 4 is arranged at one end of the balance bar 3 through a detection assembly, and the other group of L-shaped rotating assemblies 4 is arranged at an end of the balance bar 3 away from the detection assembly through a rotating shaft 10.
[0027] That is, the detection of the two suspension points is combined into the detection of one suspension point.
[0028] The top of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 is connected to the corresponding end of the balance bar 3; the bottom of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the corresponding suspension point on the trolley frame body 1 through a mounting assembly 6, and the other end of the bottom of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the corresponding steel wire rope fixed end 2 of the crane; that is, the two steel wire rope fixed ends 2 are mounted on the trolley frame body 1 through the balancing fixing device.
[0029] The two steel wire rope fixed ends 2 at the two ends of the balance bar 3 are arranged in a symmetrical manner in a natural non-stressed state.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 includes two symmetrically arranged L-shaped clamping plates 41, and a connecting plate 42 is fixedly arranged between the two L-shaped clamping plates 41 to improve the structural stability of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 after installation.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the detection assembly adopts a shaft type load cell 5 which can be used as a rotating shaft; one end of the balance bar 3 is arranged between the top of the corresponding two L-shaped clamping plates 41 and rotatably connected to the L-shaped clamping plates 41 through the shaft type load cell 5.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting assembly 6 includes symmetrically fixed support plates 61 arranged on the side surface of the trolley frame body 1; one end of the bottom of one group of L-shaped rotating assemblies 4 is arranged between the corresponding two support plates 61 and rotatably connected to the support plates 61 through a first pin shaft 62.
[0033] The first pin shaft 62 on which a set of L-shaped mounting assemblies 4 is located is arranged directly above the shaft type load sensor 5;
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the steel wire fixed end 2 is arranged at the end of the bottom of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 away from the mounting assembly 6 through the rotation of the second pin shaft 7, and is used for connecting the steel wire fixed end 2 and the L-shaped rotating assembly 4.
[0035] The trolley frame body 1 is provided with a photoelectric switch assembly on one side of a set of mounting assemblies 6, which is used for monitoring whether the steel wire fixed at both ends of the balance bar 3 is broken or off-load.
[0036] Specifically, the photoelectric switch assembly is arranged on the top surface of the trolley frame body 1 on the side away from the corresponding steel wire fixed end 2 of a set of mounting assemblies 6, and the photoelectric switch assembly comprises an L-shaped mounting plate 8 fixedly arranged on the top surface of the trolley frame body 1, and a photoelectric switch 9 fixedly arranged on the L-shaped mounting plate 8, wherein the detection end of the photoelectric switch 9 is arranged on the side of the L-shaped mounting plate 8 close to the balance bar 1.
[0037] According to actual conditions, the vertical distance between the detection end of the photoelectric switch 9 and the bottom surface of the balance bar 3 is adjusted, and a standard range is set, if the balance bar 3 is translated downwardly by more than the set distance and is monitored by the photoelectric switch 9, it indicates that the steel wire fixed end 2 is seriously off-load or broken; in the normal operation state, the height of the detection end of the photoelectric switch 9 is lower than the bottom surface of the balance bar 3.
[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0039] The steel wire fixed end 2 is stressed, and the stress is transmitted to the horizontal balance bar 3 through the L-shaped rotating assembly 4, the shaft type load sensor 5 on the balance bar 3 is stressed in the fixed direction (horizontal), and the stress forms a lever effect through the force arm difference on both sides of the L-shaped rotating assembly 4, so that the stress on the shaft type load sensor 5 is small, a sensor with a smaller model range can be selected, and the cost is reduced.
[0040] When the stresses of the two steel wire fixed ends 2 are consistent, the stresses of the two ends of the balance bar 3 are the same, and the balance bar is in the central position.
[0041] When the stress of the steel wire fixed end 2 on one side becomes large, the L-shaped rotating assembly 4 will rotate around the first pin shaft 62, and the force arm of the stress position of the steel wire fixed end 2 will be reduced accordingly until the stresses of the two ends of the balance bar 3 are equal again, so that the stresses on both sides of the balance bar 3 are always consistent, that is, the shaft type load sensor 5 is installed on any one side of the balance bar 3, and the weight measured by the shaft type load sensor 5 is the stress of any one of the two lifting points.
[0042] If in the use process, if serious unbalance load or because special situation causes one of the lifting point wire rope breakage, the other side L type rotating assembly 4 can rotate under the action of single side stress with the first pin shaft 62 as the rotating point, the balance bar 3 is driven downward by the L type rotating assembly 4, and is detected by the photoelectric switch 9, so as to realize the breakage detection.
[0043] Through the setting of two L type rotating assemblies 4 and the intermediate balance bar 3, the stress of the two lifting points is always consistent, from the stress angle, the two lifting points can be regarded as one lifting point, so as to realize the optimization of the number of lifting points, the stress model of the crane becomes simpler, and the probability of overload system fault error is also reduced. Since the stress at the horizontal balance bar is always along the direction of the balance bar, the stress direction is guaranteed to be unchanged, which can greatly improve the accuracy of the overload system and meet the use requirements of high-precision working conditions. In addition, by detecting the position of the horizontal arm, it is judged whether the two wire ropes are broken, and the combination of breakage detection and overload detection is realized, and the structure of the electrical control device is optimized.
