[0026] In this way, the hook 14 installed at the bottom of the steel cable 4 is used to hang goods, when the pressure sensor 13 is extruded, the pressure sensor 13 will transmit a signal to the PLC controller 16, the PLC controller 16 receives the signal to control the buzzer 15 at the bottom of the hook 14 to start, the buzzer 15 starts to emit a buzzing sound to alert the personnel hanging the goods.

[0027] It should be noted that the electrical connection in the embodiment includes power connection and control signal connection, and is adapted to 5V, 3.3V or other voltages, and a suitable power supply is selected according to the specifications of the pressure sensor 13, the PLC controller 16 and the buzzer 15; the control signal connection connects the output pins of the PLC controller 16 such as PWM signals, direction control signals and step signals to the input end of the buzzer 15 driving module.

[0028] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 The embodiment is a further improvement based on the embodiment 2, and specifically as follows:

[0029] The top of the hook 14 is fixedly installed with an infrared pen 17 penetrating through the bottom of the hook 14.

[0030] In this way, when hoisting, the switch of the infrared pen 17 is pressed in advance to make the infrared pen 17 light up, when the steel cable 4 is perpendicular to the ground, the infrared line emitted by the infrared pen 17 will be irradiated on the ground, achieving the effect of vertical positioning.

[0031] Embodiment 4, as shown in Figure 3 This embodiment is a further improvement based on Embodiment 1, which is specifically as follows:
