[0033] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-derailment device for wire rope of an electric hoist, including an electric hoist cylinder 1 and a wire rope limiting assembly. The wire rope limiting assembly is disposed on the electric hoist cylinder 1 and includes a first drive motor 2, which is fixedly connected to the right end of the electric hoist cylinder 1. The output end of the first drive motor 2 is fixedly connected to a wire rope drum 3, which is rotatably connected to the electric hoist cylinder 1. The surface of the wire rope drum 3 is provided with a spiral groove. The surface is wound with steel wire rope 7. The front end of the electric hoist drum 1 is fixedly connected to two guide post connecting blocks 4. The two guide post connecting blocks 4 are rotatably connected to guide posts 5. The surface of the guide post 5 is fitted with a first roller 6. The surface of the first roller 6 has two annular grooves and two annular protrusions fixedly connected. The annular protrusions on the surface of the first roller 6 engage with the grooves on the surface of the steel wire rope drum 3. The left side of the first roller 6 is fixedly connected to a rubber ring 17. The inside of the rubber ring 17 is fixedly connected to a spring 18. The rubber ring 17 is circular.

[0034] Two rubber rings 17 and two springs 18 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first roller 6.

[0035] A flame cut-off device 19 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the first drive motor 2. A connecting rod 20 is slidably connected to the front end of the electric hoist cylinder 1. Two limit levers 21 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 20. The connecting rod 20 is connected to the limit switch of the flame cut-off device 19.

[0036] The wire rope 7 has a hook 8 connected to its surface for transmission, and the other end of the wire rope 7 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the electric hoist cylinder 1.

[0037] A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the electric hoist cylinder 1. Connecting plates 10 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the connecting block 9. Two fixing bolts 11 are provided inside the connecting block 9. The two connecting plates 10 are fixed to the connecting block 9 by the two fixing bolts 11. Two connecting shafts 13 are rotatably connected inside the two connecting plates 10. Second rollers 14 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the four connecting shafts 13.

[0038] A second drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the front connecting plate 10. The output end of the second drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting shaft 13. A sprocket 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the two front connecting shafts 13. A chain 15 is driven to the surface of the two sprockets 16.

[0039] When using this device, firstly, two connecting plates 10 are installed on the connecting block 9 using two fixing bolts 11, and then the two connecting plates 10 are installed on the I-beam guide rail, so that the electric hoist can move on the surface of the I-beam guide rail. Then, the second drive motor 12 is started to drive the connecting shaft 13 to rotate, the connecting shaft 13 drives the sprocket 16 to rotate, the sprocket 16 drives the chain 15 to rotate and drives the corresponding sprocket 16 and connecting shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding second roller 14 to rotate, so as to facilitate the movement of the electric hoist on the surface of the I-beam guide rail.

[0040] This allows the electric hoist to easily reach different work locations without the need for additional equipment or complex installation processes. The sturdiness and stability of the I-beams provide reliable support for the electric hoist, ensuring its safe operation and facilitating its rapid movement to locations requiring lifting or handling, thereby improving overall work efficiency.

[0041] The first drive motor 2 is started to drive the wire rope drum 3 to rotate inside the electric hoist drum 1, which facilitates the rotation of the wire rope 7 on the surface of the wire rope drum 3, making it easy to adjust the length of the wire rope 7 and the height of the hook 8, and to facilitate the lifting of objects. Because the surface of the wire rope drum 3 has a spiral groove and the wire rope 7 is wound on the surface of the wire rope drum 3, the annular protrusion of the first roller 6 engages with the groove on the surface of the wire rope drum 3. During the rotation of the wire rope drum 3, the engagement of the protrusion and the groove facilitates the rotation and movement of the first roller 6 on the surface of the guide post 5. The groove on the surface of the wire rope drum 3 and the annular groove on the surface of the first roller 6 facilitate the guidance of the wire rope 7, preventing the wire rope 7 from falling off the groove on the surface of the wire rope drum 3 during use. If the wire rope falls off the groove, it is easy to pile up and squeeze on the wire rope drum 3, which will not only damage the wire rope itself, but may also damage the wire rope drum 3 or other components.

[0042] By preventing the wire rope from derailing, the service life of the wire rope and the wire rope drum 3 can be extended. The groove design on the surface of the wire rope drum 3 is to enable the wire rope to be arranged regularly, avoid tangling, winding or messy, reduce mutual friction and wear, and improve the efficiency of the wire rope.

[0043] When the first roller 6 is driven by the wire rope drum 3, it will rotate and slide on the surface of the guide post 5. When the first roller 6 moves to the leftmost or rightmost end of the guide post 5, it will contact the limiting plate 21 on the surface of the connecting rod 20 and squeeze the limiting plate 21, causing the limiting plate 21 to drive the connecting rod 20 to slide on the surface of the electric hoist drum 1. This causes the connecting rod 20 to activate the limit switch inside the fire cut-off device 19, which disconnects the power supply to the first drive motor 2 and stops the wire rope drum 3 from rotating. This prevents the first roller 6 from impacting the connecting blocks 4 of the guide posts on both sides and causing damage, thus improving the service life of the electric hoist.

[0044] Meanwhile, rubber rings 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the first roller 6, and springs 18 are fixed inside the rubber rings 17. The rubber rings 17 act as a protective pad, which can effectively reduce the direct contact between the first roller 6 and the guide post connecting block 4 when they collide, thus reducing wear. The buffering effect of the springs 18 can absorb the impact force generated when the first roller 6 collides with the guide post connecting block 4, reducing the damage to the equipment caused by the impact. By reducing wear and impact, the service life of the wire rope and guide wheel can be extended.

[0045] Furthermore, the first roller 6 slides and rotates on the surface of the guide post 5, and the wire rope 7 is guided by the grooves on the surface of the wire rope drum 3 and the first roller 6. The wire rope drum 3 limits the first roller 6, preventing the wire rope from falling off the wire rope drum 3 when the wire rope 7 is pulled at an angle, thus improving the safety of the electric hoist. At the same time, rubber rings 17 and springs 18 are set on both sides of the first roller 6. The wire rope 7 acts as a protective pad, which can effectively reduce the direct contact between the first roller 6 and the guide post connecting block 4 when they collide, reducing wear. The buffering effect of the springs 18 can absorb the impact force generated when the first roller 6 collides with the guide post connecting block 4, reducing the damage to the equipment caused by the impact. By reducing wear and impact, the service life of the wire rope and the guide wheel can be extended.

[0046] The connecting plate 10, connecting block 9, and second roller 14 facilitate the movement of the electric hoist on the surface of the I-beam guide rail, allowing it to easily reach different work positions without the need for additional equipment or complex installation processes. The robustness and stability of the I-beam provide reliable support for the electric hoist, ensuring its safe operation and enabling it to be quickly moved to the location requiring lifting or handling, thereby improving overall work efficiency.

[0051] First roller 6: The surface is provided with an annular groove and a protrusion, which engages with the groove on the surface of the wire rope drum 3 to help guide the wire rope 7 and prevent it from falling off the groove of the drum 3;

[0052] Rubber ring 17 and spring 18: As a protective pad and buffer device for the first roller 6, they reduce direct contact and wear between the roller and the guide post connecting block 4, absorb impact force, and extend service life.

[0053] Flame cut-off device 19: When the first roller 6 moves to the limit position and triggers the limit switch 21, the flame cut-off device will disconnect the power supply of the first drive motor 2, so that the wire rope drum 3 stops rotating and prevents equipment damage.

[0054] Connecting rod 20 and limiting lever 21: The connecting rod is used to transmit the movement signal of the first roller 6 to the flame cut-off device 19, and the limiting lever is used to contact the first roller and trigger the limit switch of the flame cut-off device.

[0055] Hook 8: Connects to the end of wire rope 7 and is used for lifting and moving objects;

[0056] Connecting block 9, connecting plate 10, fixing bolt 11, connecting shaft 13, second roller 14, second drive motor 12, sprocket 16 and chain 15: These components together constitute the moving and supporting system of the electric hoist, enabling the electric hoist to move smoothly on the I-beam guide rail and quickly reach different working positions.
