Description

Material handling equipment for the entire overhead crane production line Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of overhead crane equipment, specifically relating to a material handling device for an entire overhead crane production line. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead cranes are material handling equipment commonly used in logistics scenarios such as factories, warehouses, docks, and railway stations. After stainless steel wire is wound into coils by a take-up and coiling device, overhead cranes are needed to transport the stainless steel wire coils. Existing overhead crane handling devices are usually quite simple, requiring manual hanging of the wire coils on hooks. After the wire coils have been transported by the overhead crane, they cannot be flipped over and released onto the receiving rack, requiring manual unloading. Summary of the Invention

The support cylinder is installed on the U-shaped frame, and the telescopic rod of the support cylinder is hinged to the rear end of the corresponding U-shaped claw. A limit cylinder is installed in the middle of the U-shaped frame, the telescopic rod of the limit cylinder is set downward, and a top column is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the limit cylinder.

[0005] For stainless steel wire spools, driven by the supporting cylinder, two U-shaped claws can support the two sides of the spool, and driven by the limiting cylinder, the top column can abut against the top surface of the spool, thereby reliably limiting the spool on the two U-shaped claws, realizing mechanical gripping of the spool, and the spool can then move with the U-shaped frame.

[0006] The slanted frame can move vertically via a lifting mechanism, move horizontally via a traveling mechanism, and flip via a flipping mechanism.

Thus, under the drive of the lifting drive cylinder, the lifting plate can move in the vertical direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes a hanging plate and a flipping cylinder; the hanging plate is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting plate; the lower part of the U-shaped frame is hinged to the lower end of the hanging plate; the cylinder body end of the flipping cylinder is hinged to the lifting plate; and the telescopic rod end of the flipping cylinder is hinged to the top of the U-shaped frame. Thus, driven by the flipping cylinder, the U-shaped frame can be flipped, making it easy to release the stainless steel wire reel onto the receiving rack.

[0012] Through the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
