[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0016] like Figures 1-3As shown, this folding crane includes a base 1, on which an inclined main beam 15 is connected. The main beam 15 and a lifting beam 10 are rotatably connected at one end. A guide roller 5 is installed at the other end of the lifting beam 10. An electric crane host 9 is also installed at one end of the lifting beam 10. In this embodiment, the electric crane host 9 adopts an existing structure. The wire rope 9a of the electric crane host 9 passes around the guide roller 5 and is connected to a hook 9b. The middle of the main beam 15 and one end of the support beam 12 are rotatably connected. The other end of the support beam 12 is detachably connected to an adjusting block 7 via a connecting shaft 11. A guide rail 6 is installed on the lifting beam 10. The guide rail 6 also has limit heads 23 at both ends. The adjusting block 7 is slidably connected to the guide rail 6. The adjusting block 7 has at least two fastening screws 8. With this structure, the tilt angle of the lifting beam 10 can be adjusted by the cooperation of the adjusting block 7 and the guide rail 6. An extension leg 3 is slidably connected to the base 1. A self-locking universal joint is installed at the end of the extension leg 3. The base 1 has a threaded fastening screw 2 connected to the wheel 4. A support block 16 is connected to the base 1 via a switching mechanism. A caster wheel 17 is mounted on the support block 16, which also has an anti-slip pad 24. Using this structure, during lifting operations, the extension leg 3 is pulled out, locking the self-locking caster wheel 4. Simultaneously, the switching mechanism allows the caster wheel 17 to detach from the ground, causing the support block 16 to rest against the ground. This prevents accidental crane malfunctions during lifting operations. The main beam 15 is connected to an elastic binding rope 14 in the middle. The end of the elastic binding rope 14 has multiple connecting holes 14a. The main beam 15 is also fixed with a mushroom-shaped fixing nail 13 that mates with the connecting holes 14a. The lifting beam 10 is also equipped with a U-shaped restraint 22 that mates with the elastic binding rope 14. With this structure, the elastic binding rope 14 tightly binds the lifting beam 10, the support beam 12 and the main beam 15 together with the cooperation of the mushroom-shaped fixing nail 13 and the U-shaped restraint 22.
[0017] The switching structure includes a guide block 18 and a switching rod 19. The guide block 18 is fixed on the base 1, and the switching rod 19 is horizontally movably connected to the guide block 18. The guide block 18 includes a square locking groove 18a and a circular guide hole 18b. The switching rod 19 includes a square locking block 19a and a cylindrical shaft 19b. The square locking block 19a cooperates with the square locking groove 18a, and the cylindrical shaft 19b cooperates with the circular guide hole 18b. The cylindrical shaft 19b also has a stop... The abutment piece 21 and the guide block 18 are connected by a spring 20. The square locking block 19a and the support block 16 are fixedly connected. With this structure, the square locking block 19a is disengaged from the square locking groove 18a by supporting the outward support block 16. The support block 16 is rotated 180 degrees so that the support block 16 or the caster wheel 17 can contact the ground. After being released, the square locking block 19a can automatically lock into the square locking groove 18a under the elastic force of the spring 20.
[0018] In this utility model, by disassembling the connecting shaft 11, the lifting beam 10 can be easily folded downwards; then, the lifting beam 10, the support beam 12 and the main beam 15 are tightly bound together with the elastic binding rope 14, and the extended leg 3 is retracted into the base 1, thereby facilitating the retraction of the crane and realizing the convenience of operation.
[0019] All of the above components are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
[0020] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
