A support plate 205 is fixedly installed on the top side of the reinforcing rods 204. One side of the support plate 205 is fixedly connected to one side of the hanger 1. The reinforcing rods 204 and the support plate 205 facilitate the connection and positioning of the hanger 1 during use, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the hanger 1 and preventing damage to the hanger 1 during use.

[0035] The hook limiting component 2 can lock the lifting device onto the wheel axle during use, preventing the lifting device from loosening after locking. This simple structure has low operating costs and can be widely used in railway locomotive depots and rolling stock depots, facilitating normal lifting operations and subsequent use. A slot for the arc-shaped plate 201 to engage is provided on one side of the hook 200, with the inner wall of the slot contacting the surface of the arc-shaped plate 201. A protective plate 207 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the hook 200, and a reinforcing rib 208 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hook 200. The protective plate 207 prevents friction between the surface of the axle and the inner side of the hook 200 during use, reducing wear on the axle surface and facilitating subsequent lifting operations.

[0036] The limit adjustment assembly 3 includes support rods 300 fixedly installed on both sides of the hanger 1. One end of the support rod 300 is threadedly connected to a screw 301, and one end of the screw 301 is fixedly installed with a limit rod 302. A rotating rod 303 is threadedly connected to the surface of the limit rod 302. A triangular plate 206 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the support rod 300, and one side of the triangular plate 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the hanger 1. An anti-slip sleeve 304 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 303, and the inner wall of the anti-slip sleeve 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 303. The triangular plate 206 increases the stability of the connection between the support rod 300 and the hanger 1 during use. The anti-slip sleeve 304 facilitates the rotation of the rotating rod 303, making subsequent use easier. A threaded hole for threaded connection of the screw rod 301 is provided on one side of the support rod 300. A compression block 305, made of rubber, is fixedly installed at one end of the screw rod 301. An anti-slip ring 306 is fitted onto the surface of the limit rod 302 at one end of the screw rod 301.

The hemispherical block 309 is set to facilitate pressing one side of the wheel during use, thereby maintaining the installation stability of the lifting device. The limiting adjustment component 3 is set to facilitate pressing the inner side of the wheels on both sides of the wheelset during use, thereby preventing the wheels from rotating during lifting and maintaining the stability of the lifting device during lifting, while also maintaining the fit between the lifting device and the wheelset.

[0037] Working principle: When hoisting is required, the hook 200 on the lifting device is fixed to the connecting part of the hoisting equipment. Then, the hook 200 is hung on the axle of the wheel set. As the axle engages with the hook 200, it presses against the arc plate 201, causing the arc plate 201 to move inward. When the axle separates from the arc plate 201, the return spring 203 resets the arc plate 201, making it fit against one side of the hook 200. This prevents the axle from separating from the hook 200 during use. Then, the rotating rod 303 on the anti-slip sleeve 304 is rotated. The rotating rod 303 drives the screw 301 on the limit rod 302 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the support rod 300 and the limit rod 302. This causes one side of the hemispherical block 309 to press against one side of the wheel, facilitating subsequent limiting operations and preventing loosening during hoisting.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
