Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation, specifically to a lifting machine, and more particularly to a weld-free counterweight lifting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Goods conveying equipment used in automated conveying and sorting lines for changing layers includes single-arm elevators, conveyors on cargo platforms, and conveyors distributed on both sides of single-arm elevators.

[0003] A hoist is a mechanical device that transports goods by changing their potential energy. By lifting and lowering, the hoist connects the conveyor on the cargo platform with the conveyors on both sides, enabling the transfer of goods between different levels.

[0004] During transportation, goods may need to be transferred between different levels. This is typically achieved using ramp conveyors or manual sorting. Compared to manual sorting with elevators, which is more labor-intensive and less efficient, ramp conveyors allow for a longer movement path for the goods. Although the goods may be larger in size, the required precision in their movement along the same path is lower.

[0005] Therefore, the movement accuracy of goods transported by elevators requires higher precision along a unit path. An elevator consists of a lifting seat, a base, and a column. A coordinate system is established with the plane of the base as the reference, with the horizontal axis as the X-axis, the vertical axis as the Y-axis, and the vertical axis as the Z-axis. Correspondingly, the base and column need to be perpendicular to each other to ensure the movement accuracy of the lifting seat. Welding is typically used to connect components, requiring the components to be leveled to increase the assembly precision of the elevator and thus improve the movement accuracy of the lifting seat. However, welding is not only inefficient but also requires high processing standards. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to construct a welding-free counterweight hoist based on the existing hoist and the need to reduce the assembly difficulty of the hoist.

[0007] A weld-free counterweight hoist includes a base, a column, a column connecting plate, a lifting seat, and a drive device for raising and lowering the lifting seat. The column is vertically arranged and vertically connected to the base via the column connecting plate. The lifting seat is slidably connected to the column and slides up and down along its vertical direction. The column connecting plate is vertically arranged, and its vertical surface is fixedly connected to the vertical surface of the column by bolts. The horizontal surface of the column connecting plate is fixedly connected to the horizontal surface of the base by bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, a coordinate system is established with the horizontal direction (width direction) of the hoist as the X-axis, the vertical direction (length direction) as the Y-axis, and the vertical direction as the Z-axis. The bolts are equipped with bolt holes, which have degrees of freedom in the X, Y, and Z axes. This ensures that the hoisting seat can stably rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the support column is provided in two parts, located on the left and right sides of the base respectively (with the side with the lifting seat in front). An installation beam is fixedly installed between the two support columns. A slide rail is fixedly installed on the front outer wall of each support column, and a slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. The sliders on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lifting seat respectively. Guide structures are provided on both the left and right sides of the lifting seat to ensure synchronous lifting and lowering, thus guaranteeing the stability of the lifting seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving device includes a motor, a first chain drive mechanism, and a second chain drive mechanism. The motor is mounted on the base, the second chain drive mechanism is vertically mounted, the chain in the second chain drive mechanism is fixedly connected to the lifting seat, the lifting seat moves up and down with the movement of the chain, and the motor is connected to the second chain drive mechanism through the first chain drive mechanism.

The first end of the first chain drive mechanism is connected to the motor, and the second end of the first chain drive mechanism is connected to the first rotating shaft. The rotating shafts at the middle positions of the mounting beam and the base ensure that the lifting power provided to the lifting seat is singular, ensuring the left and right synchronization of the lifting seat and its stability.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting seat is provided with a connector, which is located at the rear center of the lifting seat and is fixedly connected to the chain in the second chain drive mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, two wire wheels are mounted on the mounting beam, symmetrically positioned about the second rotating shaft. The lifting seat has two left and right wire clips, each located on the same vertical plane as the left and right wire wheels. Each wire wheel is wound with a wire rope, one end of which is connected to a wire clip on the lifting machine, and the other end is connected to a counterweight. Both wire ropes are connected to the same counterweight. This same counterweight is connected to the lifting seat via the two wire ropes, ensuring synchronous movement of the lifting seat and guaranteeing its stability.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is provided with a counterweight bracket. There are two counterweight brackets, which are symmetrically positioned on the left and right. The supporting part of the counterweight bracket and the counterweight are located in the same vertical plane. When the counterweight descends to the lowest point, it will be placed on the counterweight bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, the first chain drive mechanism includes a first driving sprocket, a first driven sprocket, and a first chain.

[0017] Furthermore, the column is equipped with a limit switch, which can effectively control the lifting stroke of the lifting seat.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The column, base, and column connecting plate are fixedly connected by bolts, eliminating the need for leveling and welding of the mounting surfaces of the column, base, and column connecting plate, while improving the assembly efficiency of the hoist and reducing the assembly difficulty of the hoist; 2. The bolts are equipped with bolt holes, which have degrees of freedom in the X, Y, and Z axes, not only reducing the assembly difficulty of the hoist but also ensuring that the hoist seat can be stably raised and lowered in the vertical direction; 3. The counterweight is set at a single end and connected to the hoist seat through two steel wire ropes, and the hoist seat is driven by a single power source. While simplifying the structure, it also enables the hoist seat to move synchronously left and right during lifting and lowering, ensuring the stability of the hoist seat.

The motor 112 and the first rotating shaft 119 are connected by a first chain drive mechanism 114.

[0033] An installation beam 115 and a reinforcing member 113 are fixedly installed between the two columns 103 on the left and right. There is one installation beam 115 located at the top of the column 103. There are two reinforcing members 113 located below the installation beam 115.
