Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling and lifting equipment technology, and in particular to a modular flexible connection cantilever lifting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lifting and handling equipment is widely used, especially cantilever cranes, due to their mature technology and low cost. Cantilever cranes are generally column-mounted, with the column as the center of rotation and the length of the cantilever as the radius of the lifting device. The area covered by the lifting device is a fan-shaped region centered on the column and with the cantilever as the radius. The radius of the cantilever crane varies depending on the load, but is generally around 4 meters. While the radius and coverage area of ​​a cantilever crane are fixed, real-world work often requires moving workpieces from an open space to a confined space with obstacles such as columns or equipment. Traditional cantilever cranes cannot adapt to these spatial changes, especially in confined spaces such as brick well platforms, wind turbine interiors, large ship equipment compartments, and engine compartments for maintenance and installation. In very compact and confined spaces, lifting and moving equipment is extremely inconvenient due to the non-extendable radius of the cantilever crane.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cantilever crane whose coverage radius can be arbitrarily bent and varied, which can extend and bend like a snake, and whose effective radius can be arbitrarily changed, so as to flexibly lift and transport equipment in confined spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of traditional cantilever cranes by providing a modular, flexible cantilever lifting device that can flexibly change the radius of a traditional cantilever crane, enabling easy lifting and transport in confined spaces.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A modular flexible cantilever lifting device includes a guide post 1, a guide hole 2, a module body 3, a module cavity 4, and screw holes 5; wherein: as shown in the figure Figures 1-3 This utility model adopts a modular structure, using high-strength aluminum extrusion molding to prepare a hollow module body 3. The top and bottom of the module body 3 are both open. Figures 1-3 The module body 3 has module guide holes 2 on both sides, and a guide post 1 is inserted into the rightmost module guide hole 2. By inserting the upper and lower guide posts 1 into the adjacent module guide holes 2, the module body 3 is connected in series like a chain. The high-strength module body 3 is used to replace the traditional cantilever structure, so that the lifting device can bend and extend freely in the horizontal range. It can be transformed into several or even a dozen joints according to the needs of the site, and is not limited by the confined environment.

[0007] This utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0008] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the cavity of the module body 3 is a module cavity 4, and the cross-section of the module cavity 4 is circular; the module cavity 4 can be ground into a cylinder cavity for placing and installing cylinders.

[0009] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: a plurality of screw holes 5 are provided on the top and bottom outer sides of the module cavity 4, and the upper end cover and lower end cover of the cylinder are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the module cavity 4 by means of bolts and screw holes 5.

[0010] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: such as Figure 4 As shown, the module bodies 3 are connected in series by guide posts 1 and fixed by anti-detachment pins 6 to prevent adjacent module bodies 3 from separating, so that all the module bodies 3 form a horizontal flexible cantilever that can be bent freely. One end of the flexible cantilever can be suspended by a pneumatic hoist or an electric hoist, with a maximum stroke radius of 4-5 meters and a minimum stroke radius of 0.5 meters.

[0011] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: Figure 5 The image shows the fully deployed form of the flexible spreading device. Figure 6 It is a flexible lifting device in the form of a bent form, which is composed of a column, a modular flexible connection cantilever lifting device and a lifting device to form a lifting device.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] Advantage 1: Traditional cantilever cranes require a space larger than the lifting radius; if the space is smaller, they cannot be used normally. This new type of flexible lifting device completely solves the space requirement, allowing for lifting and moving equipment even in confined spaces. The usable space for this flexible cantilever crane is only about one-fifth that of a traditional cantilever crane. It completely solves the lifting and moving needs in confined areas such as engine rooms, workshops, wind turbine installation and maintenance, and aircraft maintenance and installation, indicating a huge market potential.

[0014] Advantage 2: The individual modules of this utility model are not only components of the flexible cantilever crane, but each module can also form a large-diameter drive cylinder. Through the mechanism with other accessories, it can achieve the function of lifting the workpiece. Driven by compressed air, it is especially suitable for working conditions in explosion-proof areas.

[0015] Advantage 3: This utility model can be used not only in confined spaces such as brick well platforms, wind power maintenance, and marine engine room maintenance, but its modular structure can be freely added or shortened and can be easily disassembled. The anti-detachment pin 6 ensures a safe connection between modules and prevents modules from detaching.

[0016] Advantage 4: Each module of this utility model weighs approximately 20KG and can be easily disassembled. It can be used in various working conditions via different connecting accessories, such as containers, factory channel steel, and reliable rigid bases. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The top and bottom outer sides of the module cavity 4 are provided with a number of screw holes 5. The upper end cover and lower end cover of the cylinder are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the module cavity 4 by bolts and screw holes 5.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the module bodies 3 are connected in series by guide posts 1 and fixed by anti-detachment pins 6 to prevent adjacent module bodies 3 from separating, so that all the module bodies 3 form a horizontal flexible cantilever that can be bent freely. One end of the flexible cantilever can be suspended by a pneumatic hoist or an electric hoist, with a maximum stroke radius of 4-5 meters and a minimum stroke radius of 0.5 meters.
