Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the traditional trolley, a motor is generally used to drive a speed reducer, and the speed reducer drives a steel wire rope drum to rotate. The steel wire rope drum is connected to the lifting appliance through a steel wire rope. The power supply of the lifting appliance is realized through a cable wound on the cable drum. In general, the cable drum also needs to be driven by a motor to realize the winding and unwinding of the cable. The cable drum and the steel wire rope drum are usually driven by two motors, which makes it impossible to ensure the synchronization of the cable drum and the steel wire rope drum. In this case, if the winding speed of the steel wire rope is too fast, the lifting appliance will rise at a faster speed. If the winding and unwinding speed of the cable drum is too slow, it may cause the cable to be stretched too much or be forcibly dragged, resulting in uneven stress on the wires inside the cable, which may cause the cable core to break or the insulation layer to be damaged, thereby shortening the service life of the cable and increasing the maintenance cost of the cable. At the same time, it may also affect the stability of power transmission, and in severe cases, it may cause power interruption, affecting the normal operation of the lifting appliance, and even causing safety accidents.

In use, the driving mechanism is started, the steel wire rope drum 3 rotates under the driving of the driving mechanism, the steel wire rope drum 3 drives the driving gear 4 to rotate, the driving gear 4 drives the adjusting transmission assembly to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 5 and the cable drum 2 to rotate. Since the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 5 rotate under the driving of the same motor, after the transmission of the adjusting transmission assembly, the transmission ratio of the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 5 can change within a certain range along with the structure of the adjusting transmission assembly, thereby facilitating the matching of the winding mode of the steel wire rope between the steel wire rope drum 3 and the lifting tool, and ensuring that the steel wire rope and the cable are in synchronous lifting state during the lifting of the lifting tool.

[0021] In another embodiment, the driving gear 4 is sleeved at one end of the steel wire rope drum 3 and in fixed connection with the steel wire rope drum 3; the driven gear 5 is located at one end of the cable drum 2 and in transmission connection with the cable drum 2.
