Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring hanger technology, and in particular to a vertical constant force spring hanger. Background Technology

[0002] A constant force spring support is equivalent to a hanger, designed based on the principle of torque balance. Under permissible load displacement, the load torque and spring torque remain balanced. For pipes and equipment supported by constant force springs, a constant supporting force can be provided when displacement occurs, thus preventing additional stress on the pipes and equipment. Constant force springs are generally used in places where displacement stress needs to be reduced, such as the main body of power plant boilers, the suspended parts of steam, water, flue gas, and air ducts and burners in power plants, as well as in places requiring this type of support in the petroleum and chemical industries.

[0003] In existing technologies, the constant lifting height of the boom is generally fixed and difficult to adjust conveniently, making it difficult to consistently lift items of various heights. Although some constant force spring hangers can adjust the boom height, they often use the rotation of a lead screw to adjust the boom's length. After adjusting the boom's length via the lead screw, since the boom needs to constantly lift heavy objects, the support point of the boom is only limited by the lead screw. This makes the support point of the boom relatively weak, making it easy for the lead screw to deflect. Once the lead screw deflects, the spring hanger will be damaged and fail, seriously affecting its service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a vertical constant force spring hanger, which facilitates convenient adjustment of the hanging rod's height and provides a more effective and stable constant supporting force for suspended items.

A height adjustment drive assembly is provided above the adjusting plate. An anti-detachment limit assembly is provided on one side of each adjusting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower ends of the housing are both fixed with support legs.

[0009] Furthermore, the height adjustment drive assembly includes a forward and reverse motor, a main gear, a lead screw, and a secondary gear. The forward and reverse motor is fixed to the top of the housing, and the main gear is connected to the power end of the forward and reverse motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the lead screw is rotatably connected between the upper end of the fixed plate and the upper end of the housing, the auxiliary gear is fixedly sleeved around the lead screw, the adjusting plate is threadedly sleeved with the lead screw, and the auxiliary gear meshes with the main gear.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the anti-detachment limiting components includes a return spring, a limiting block, an electromagnet, a spring return rod, a movable block, a magnetic block, and an anti-detachment locking block.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the anti-detachment blocks is connected to the other side of the movable block, and each of the limiting grooves has an anti-detachment slot that matches the anti-detachment block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By setting up a height adjustment drive component, it is convenient to drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn can easily drive the adjustment plate, adjustment rod, return frame and suspension rod to move up and down, thus facilitating the adjustment of the constant suspension height of the suspension rod;

[0016] 2.

[0021] A vertical constant force spring hanger:

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a lifting rod 3. The lifting rod 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and slides through the bottom of the housing 1. A fixing plate 8 is fixed in the middle of the housing 1. Two guide rods 4 are fixed between the lower end of the fixing plate 8 and the bottom of the housing 1. A molded frame 5 is slidably sleeved around the guide rods 4. A pressure plate 6 is provided inside the molded frame 5. A constant force spring 7 is connected between the lower end of the pressure plate 6 and the bottom of the molded frame 5. The lifting rod 3 slides through the molded frame 5. The lower end of the pressure plate 6 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting rod 3. The constant force spring 7 is sleeved around the lifting rod 3. Two adjusting rods 9 are fixed at the upper end of the molded frame 5, arranged left and right. Two openings 26 are opened on the fixing plate 8, arranged left and right. The adjusting rods 9 extend to the top of the fixing plate 8 through adjacent openings. An adjusting plate 10 is fixed between the upper ends of the two adjusting rods 9. A height adjustment drive assembly is provided above the adjustment plate 10. The height adjustment drive assembly includes a forward and reverse motor 12, a main gear 13, a lead screw 11, and a secondary gear 14. The forward and reverse motor 12 is fixed to the top of the housing 1. The main gear 13 is connected to the power end of the forward and reverse motor 12. The lead screw 11 is rotatably connected between the upper end of the fixed plate 8 and the top of the housing 1. The secondary gear 14 is fixedly sleeved around the lead screw 11. The adjustment plate 10 is threadedly sleeved with the lead screw 11. The secondary gear 14 meshes with the main gear 13. An anti-detachment limiting assembly is provided on one side of the adjustment rod 9. The anti-detachment limiting assembly includes a return spring 16, a limiting block 17, an electromagnet 19, a spring return rod 20, a movable block 21, a magnetic block 22, and an anti-detachment locking block 25. Support feet 2 are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the housing 1. A shrinkage groove 18 is opened on one side of the limiting block 17.

[0023] When it is necessary to adjust the constant lifting height of the boom 3, the support leg 2 is used to support the constant force spring hanger, and the anti-detachment block 25 is locked in the anti-detachment slot 24. The electromagnet 19 is energized and magnetically attracts the magnetic block 22. The magnetic block 22 will compress the spring return rod 20, and the magnetic block 22 will drive the movable block 21 and the anti-detachment block 25 to move together into the shrinkage groove 18 until the anti-detachment block 25 moves out of the anti-detachment slot 24. Then, the operation of the forward and reverse motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate forward or reverse. Therefore, the rotation of the lead screw 11 facilitates the upward or downward movement of the adjusting plate 10, adjusting rod 9, return frame 5 and boom 3. In this process, the return frame 5 will slide up and down along the guide rod 4, which helps to ensure the stability of the boom 3 when it moves up and down. Therefore, it is convenient to adjust the constant lifting height of the boom 3.

[0024] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a groove 15 is opened on one side of the opening 26, the return springs 16 are all connected in the groove 15, the limiting blocks 17 are all connected to the end of the return springs 16, and a number of limiting grooves 23 matching the limiting blocks 17 are opened on one side of the adjusting rod 9. The upper and lower surfaces of the end of the limiting blocks 17 are inclined.

[0025] As the adjusting rod 9 moves up and down, the limiting block 17 is inserted into the limiting groove 23, and the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting block 17 are inclined. Therefore, the groove opening of the limiting groove 23 will push the limiting block 17 outward along the inclined surface of the limiting block 17. The limiting block 17 will then compress the return spring 16, causing the limiting block 17 to move into the groove 15. The limiting block 17 will then move out of the limiting groove 23. After the height of the adjusting rod 9 and the hanging rod 3 is adjusted, the limiting block 17 will be aligned with the corresponding limiting groove 23. At this time, the rebound force of the return spring 16 will cause the limiting block 17 to be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 23. This is beneficial for the limiting block 17 to share the load of the lead screw 11, thereby preventing the lead screw 11 from derailing.

[0026] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, each spring return rod 20 is provided in pairs, and the spring return rod 20 and the electromagnet 19 are connected to the inner side wall of the contraction groove 18. Each movable block 21 is connected to the end of the spring return rod 20. Each magnetic block 22 is connected to one side of the movable block 21, and each magnetic block 22 corresponds to the adjacent electromagnet 19 on the left and right. Each anti-detachment block 25 is connected to the other side of the movable block 21. Each limiting groove 23 has an anti-detachment groove 24 that matches the anti-detachment block 25.

[0027] When the limiting block 17 is engaged in the corresponding limiting groove 23, the electromagnet 19 is de-energized. The electromagnet 19 no longer attracts the magnetic block 22. Therefore, the rebound force of the spring return rod 20 will drive the movable block 21 and the anti-detachment block 25 to reset. The anti-detachment block 25 will then engage in the corresponding anti-detachment groove 24. In summary, by engaging the limiting block 17 in the limiting groove 23 and engaging the anti-detachment block 25 in the anti-detachment groove 24, compared with the weak support force of a single lead screw 11 in the prior art, the cooperation of the limiting block 17 and the anti-detachment block 25 is conducive to effectively sharing the load-bearing force of the lead screw 11, making the support force more stable. This effectively avoids the damage to the spring hanger caused by the lead screw 11 detaching, thus providing a better constant support force for the suspended items.
