[0015] 1. This utility model provides a single-beam low-headroom four-drive wire rope hoist. Drive mechanisms are set at both ends of the lifting beam. Each drive mechanism includes a running motor and two drive wheels. The two drive wheels are directly driven by a transmission shaft and gears, thus forming a four-drive structure with four drive wheels.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figs. 1-2 :
[0021] A single-beam low-headroom four-drive wire rope hoist includes a pair of lifting beams 2 connected to a hook assembly 1. Both ends of the lifting beams 2 are provided with drive mechanisms. Each drive mechanism includes a pair of drive beams 3 fixed to the ends of the lifting beams 2. Drive wheels 4 that travel on the single beam are rotatably arranged on the inner side of each drive beam 3. A drive gear 6 that meshes with a transmission gear 5 is formed at the end of each drive wheel 4 near the drive beam 3. The transmission gear 5 is mounted on a transmission shaft 7 that is rotatably connected to the drive beam 3. The transmission shaft 7 is driven to rotate by a running motor 8 located on the outer side of the drive beam 3. The running motor 8 is a geared motor, and its output shaft is connected to the transmission shaft 7.
[0022] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0023] Lifting process: The lifting process in this embodiment is the same as that of other wire rope hoists in the field. The load to be lifted is hung on the hook of the hook assembly 1, and then the lifting motor 14 is started. The lifting motor 14 transmits power to the drum assembly 12 through the reduction gearbox 13. The drum rotates and the load moves up and down by winding the wire rope and the pulley of the hook assembly 1.
[0024] Operation process: When working, the operator presses the operation button, which simultaneously starts the two running motors 8. After deceleration, the motors output power through their output shafts, driving the transmission shaft 7 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 7 rotates, the two transmission gears 5 rotate accordingly. The two drive gears 6 meshing with the transmission gears 5 rotate, ultimately causing the two drive wheels 4 to rotate and move on the single beam. Each running motor 8 directly drives the two drive wheels 4. The two running motors 8 simultaneously drive the four drive wheels 4 to form a four-wheel drive structure. The four-wheel drive structure increases the hoist's operational stability and load-bearing capacity.
[0025] To enhance the structural strength and stability of the drive mechanism, two drive beams 3 of the same drive mechanism are connected as one unit by a connecting pipe 9, and a tie rod 10 is provided between the two drive beams 3 to tighten the drive beams 3.
[0026] Furthermore, in order to achieve low headroom lifting, the lifting beam 2 is set horizontally, the drive beam 3 is set vertically, the axis of the drive wheel 4 is located below the lifting beam 2, the transmission gear 5 and the transmission shaft 7 are located below the drive wheel 4, the connecting pipe 9 is located below the transmission shaft 7, and the tie rod 10 is located between the transmission shaft 7 and the connecting pipe 9. Through the above arrangement, the position of the drive wheel 4 can be lowered, thereby shortening the distance between the hook assembly 1 and the single beam (which is in the same position as the drive wheel 4).
[0027] In this embodiment, the single beam is an I-beam, the lifting beam 2 and the drive beam 3 are square steel beams, and the connecting pipe 9 is a round steel pipe.
[0028] To increase the stability of the transmission, the transmission shaft 7 is a hexagonal transmission shaft. The transmission shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the drive beam 3 through a bushing 11 set inside the drive beam 3. A rotatable support, such as a bearing, is provided inside the bushing 11.
[0029] This embodiment further optimizes the layout of each component. One side of the lifting beam 2 is provided with a drum assembly 12, a reduction gearbox 13 and a lifting motor 14, and the other side is provided with an electrical box 15, a running motor 8 and a counterweight 16. Specifically, the outer side of the drive beam 3 is provided with a first mounting plate 17 and a second mounting plate 18, respectively. The drum assembly 12, the reduction gearbox 13 and the lifting motor 14 are fixed on the first mounting plate 17, and the electrical box 15, the running motor 8 and the counterweight 16 are fixed on the second mounting plate 18.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rated lifting capacity of the single-beam low-headroom four-drive wire rope hoist is 25T, and the upper limit lifting height (the distance between the hook assembly 1 and the single beam) is 900mm.
[0031] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
