Description

BACKGROUND

[0002] The load section and the no-load section of the hoisting chain are respectively provided with collision blocks that can trigger the action of the limiting switch, and the collision blocks are solid metal blocks. The ring chain electric hoist is usually provided with an upward limiting switch and a downward limiting switch for lifting limiting and no-load downward limiting. The two limiting switches are usually separately arranged in the hoist body. Since the interior of the hoist body is limited, the limiting switch has a small volume so as to occupy a relatively small space in the hoist body. The contact of the limiting switch is small. Since the collision block is located below the limiting switch, the limiting switch and the collision block are in a vertical corresponding position relationship. The collision block vertically collides with the contact of the limiting switch along the direction of the load lifting track. Therefore, the contact of the limiting switch is easily damaged due to the large force of the collision block. After the limiting switch is damaged, it is inconvenient to replace it, and the hoist body needs to be disassembled for replacement.

The upward elastic pressing piece 3 is arranged between the upper stop point limiting switch contact 1 and the first collision block 5, and the downward elastic pressing piece 4 is arranged between the lower stop point limiting switch contact 2 and the second collision block 6. This structure objectively has the technical defects described above.
