Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, and in particular to a lifting equipment for an electromagnetic flowmeter housing. Background Technology
[0002] Electromagnetic flowmeters (EMFs) are a new type of flow measurement instrument that developed rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s with the advancement of electronic technology. An electromagnetic flowmeter uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure the flow rate of a conductive fluid based on the electromotive force induced when the fluid passes through an external magnetic field. The main components of an electromagnetic flowmeter include a magnetic circuit system, a measuring conduit, electrodes, a housing, a lining, and a converter.
[0003] Electromagnetic flowmeters come in various sizes. For large electromagnetic flowmeter housings, the steel casing is heavy, requiring lifting equipment for movement within the workshop. Currently, most lifting equipment for electromagnetic flowmeter housings uses flat canvas slings. However, using canvas slings for lifting housings is cumbersome, especially when removing them. Due to the weight of the housing, the knots in the slings become compressed, making them difficult to remove, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, significantly reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, when using slings for lifting, the housing is at an angle, making the slings prone to slipping and posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

The lifting lug of the device is hung on the hook of the lifting equipment, and the mounting holes on the flange at the end of the housing are quickly locked by the clamping blocks and locking components. The housing can then be lifted horizontally and transported to the required position. This not only saves time and effort, but is also safe and reliable, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-2 As shown, an electromagnetic flowmeter housing hanger includes a lifting lug 1, a crossbeam 2, a clamping block 3, and a locking component. At least two chains A4 are connected to the bottom end of the lifting lug 1, and the bottom end of the chains A4 is connected to the crossbeam 2. The crossbeam 2 has symmetrical hanging holes 201 at both ends, and two chains B5 are detachably connected to the hanging holes 201. The clamping block 3 is L-shaped, and the opposing sides of the two clamping blocks 3 are slots 301. The locking component is detachably connected to the clamping block 3, and the locking component passes through the slots 301.
[0027] Two stiffening plates 202 are symmetrically connected at the top of the crossbeam 2. The bottom end of the chain A4 is connected to the first shackle 6, which is detachably connected to the stiffening plate 202.
[0028] The hanging holes 201 are arranged in multiple symmetrical groups. The second shackle 7 is detachably connected to the hanging hole 201. The bottom end of the second shackle 7 is connected to the rotary joint 8. The bottom end of the rotary joint 8 is connected to the third shackle 9. The chain B5 is connected to the bottom end of the third shackle 9.
[0029] The clamping block 3 has a threaded through hole on the top and a threaded blind hole 302 at the bottom. The locking element is a plum bolt A10, which is threadedly fitted into the threaded through hole and the threaded blind hole 302.
[0030] The back of the clamp 3 is connected to the ear plate 303, and the bottom of the chain B5 is connected to the fourth shackle 11, which is detachably connected to the ear plate 303.
[0031] The inner wall of the slot 301 of the clamping block 3 is bonded with a soft anti-slip pad.
[0032] Example 2: This example is a further improvement on Example 1. The main improvement is that in Example 1, the transport vehicle was inconvenient to push; while in this example, the above-mentioned defects can be avoided. Specifically:
[0033] It also includes a forklift transport assembly for use with a forklift. The lifting lug 1 is detachably connected to the center of the bottom of the forklift transport assembly. The forklift transport assembly includes a fork sleeve 12, which has two fork holes 1201. A support plate 13 is connected to the bottom end of the fork sleeve 12. A fifth shackle 14 is detachably connected to the support plate 13. A hook 15 is connected to the fifth shackle 14. The lifting lug 1 is hung on the hook 15. Two Torx bolts B16 are threaded into the bottom end of the fork sleeve 12. The Torx bolts B16 can be inserted into the two fork holes 1201 respectively. In this embodiment, the forklift transport assembly can be installed on the fork of a forklift and is suitable for long-distance transportation between workshops.

[0034] Apart from the above, this embodiment is exactly the same as Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0035] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, during the transfer within the workshop, the operator hangs the lifting lug 1 on the hook of the workshop crane. When the crane moves above the outer casing 17, the lifting device descends with the hook, and the clamping block 3 is locked onto the flange 1701 at the top of the outer casing 17. The operator then tightens the Phillips bolt A10, which passes through the mounting hole 1702 on the flange 1701 and is threaded into the threaded blind hole 302. The crane hook rises, allowing the flowmeter outer casing 17 to be transferred to the desired position.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, during long-distance transfers between workshops, the fork sleeve 12 is installed on the two forks of the forklift, and the Torx bolts B16 are tightened so that the Torx bolts B16 abut against the bottom of the forks. When the forklift moves above the housing 17, the lifting device descends with the forks, and the clamping block 3 is engaged with the flange 1701 at the top of the housing 17; the operator tightens the Torx bolt A10, and the Torx bolt A10 passes through the mounting hole 1702 on the flange 1701 and then the thread engages with the threaded blind hole 302; the forklift forks are raised, and the flow meter housing 17 can be moved to the desired position.
[0038] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
