Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour loading equipment, and in particular to a stacking crane for a flour loading system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, flour mills mainly rely on forklifts to transport flour stacks onto trucks. To save space, flour mills typically stack multiple flour stacks from bottom to top, but forklifts lifting stacks at higher levels are prone to tipping over. Overhead cranes are crucial lifting equipment in production workshops and warehouses, but existing overhead cranes require hooks and slings for handling goods and cannot directly lift flour stacks. Therefore, existing overhead cranes need to be modified to allow for direct lifting and loading of flour stacks onto trucks. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and provide a stacking crane for a flour loading system.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives and effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

A slewing bearing is installed at the lower center of the lifting device, and a downwardly extending shaft is installed in the slewing bearing. A C-shaped fork for picking up flour stacks is installed at the lower part of the shaft. A high-power servo motor for driving the shaft to rotate is installed at the upper center of the lifting device. The motor shaft of the high-power servo motor is connected to the top of the shaft via a coupling. A guide mechanism to prevent the lifting device from rotating is installed between the lifting device and the double-girder overhead crane.

[0006] The lifting device includes a square ring-shaped lifting ring, a bearing seat fixed to the top of the lifting ring, an axle installed in the bearing seat, a pulley installed at each end of the axle, and the pulleys suspended on the wire rope of the double-beam bridge crane; a bearing support ring is fixed to the center of the bottom of the lifting ring, and the slewing support bearing is installed at the top of the bearing support ring.

[0007] The guiding mechanism includes two parallel mounting rods, two U-shaped first clamps, four lower mounting blocks, four upper mounting blocks, and four multi-stage guide rods. The mounting rods are connected to the first clamps with screws so that the first clamps and mounting rods are clamped at the lower part of the side arm of the lifting ring. Each mounting rod has a lower mounting block installed at both ends. The upper mounting blocks are installed on the lifting trolley of the double-girder overhead crane. The bottom of the multi-stage guide rods is fixed in the lower mounting blocks, and the top of the multi-stage guide rods is fixed in the upper mounting blocks.

[0008] The top of the lifting ring has two "U"-shaped second clamps, and a motor mounting plate is installed at the bottom of the two second clamps so that the second clamps cooperate with the motor mounting plate to hold the lifting ring. The high-power servo motor is installed at the bottom of the motor mounting plate.

[0009] The upper part of the rotating shaft is provided with a horizontally outwardly extending limiting ring, and the lower part of the rotating shaft is provided with a U-shaped hook groove, in which the top of the C-type fork is engaged.

[0010] The lifting ring and the C-type fork are fitted with three isolation rings to prevent the shaft from jumping up and down.

[0011] The C-type fork includes two parallel L-shaped booms and a U-shaped limiting rod. A straight first link, a straight second link, a straight third link, and a straight fourth link are sequentially fixed between the two L-shaped booms from top to bottom. A straight reinforcing rod is fixed between the middle of the first link and the middle of the second link. A U-shaped limiting groove is formed in the middle of the side of the first link away from the second link. The lower part of the rotating shaft is locked in the U-shaped limiting groove. The limiting rod is connected to the L-shaped boom and the first link with screws. A fork arm is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped boom facing the first link, and the fork arm is parallel to the reinforcing rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A lifting device is suspended on the wire rope of an existing double-girder overhead crane. The horizontal position and height of the lifting device are adjusted using the double-girder overhead crane. C-type forks are installed below the lifting device via a slewing bearing and a rotating shaft. A high-power servo motor installed in the lifting device drives the C-type forks to rotate, thereby adjusting the picking and unhooking direction of the C-type forks. This stacking crane, after modifying the double-girder overhead crane, facilitates the direct lifting and stacking of flour stacks for loading onto trucks. Attached Figure Description
