Description

An electrode rod lifting device for cranes Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of overhead crane lifting technology, specifically to an electrode rod lifting device for overhead cranes. Background Technology

[0002] Overhead crane hoisting is an industrial operation that uses lifting equipment to achieve vertical lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects. It is a core technology of lifting operations. In the traditional 1-ton ingot electroslag remelting process of electroslag furnace, the electrode rod is the core conductive medium. The lifting and replacement frequency is high, and the furnace front working environment is hot and dusty, which places strict requirements on the heat resistance, clamping stability and positioning accuracy of the lifting equipment.

[0003] Traditional lifting devices mainly use mechanical clamps or wire rope binding, which have obvious limitations. Uneven clamping force can easily cause electrode rods to slip or be damaged on the surface. At the same time, they lack heat insulation design, and the wire ropes and hydraulic components are prone to high-temperature aging. In addition, the low precision of manual operation makes it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid and accurate alignment of electrodes and crystallizers, affecting the stability and efficiency of melting. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electrode rod lifting device for cranes, so as to solve the problems that traditional lifting devices, which use mechanical clamps or wire rope binding, may cause the electrode rod to slip off, and have low operating accuracy, resulting in low lifting efficiency and affecting the stability and efficiency of smelting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electrode rod lifting device for cranes, including a lifting ring, and further comprising:

[0006] A screw is located at the bottom, a shackle is located at the bottom of the screw, and a hook is located at the bottom of the shackle;

[0007] A connecting assembly is disposed at the bottom of the screw. The connecting assembly includes a first connecting seat threaded to the outside of the screw, a rotating ball rotatably connected inside the first connecting seat, a second connecting seat fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating ball, and a cross pin threaded to the bottom of the second connecting seat.

[0008] Preferably, a first positioning nut is provided on the outer side of the cross pin, and an anti-slip sleeve is provided on the outer side of the screw.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the screw is threaded with a second positioning nut, and the outer side of the screw is threaded with a top tube.

[0010] Preferably, a first flange is fixedly connected to the top of the jacking pipe, and a graphite gasket is provided on the top of the first flange.

[0011] Preferably, a second flange is provided on the top of the graphite gasket, and a connecting bolt is provided inside the second flange.

[0012] Preferably, the graphite gasket has a screw hole inside, and the inner wall of the screw hole is threaded to the outer side of the connecting bolt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention, through the setting of a connecting component, allows the rotating ball to rotate inside the second connecting seat when the hook is hoisting the electrode rod. This causes the hook to rotate at a certain angle, preventing the electrode rod from detaching. Simultaneously, a silicon nitride coating is sprayed on the contact surface between the screw and the shackle to reduce high-temperature oxidation and frictional loss. Graphite-based grease is filled inside the rotating ball to ensure smooth swinging under high-temperature conditions. The shackle is forged from high-strength alloy steel, enabling the hoisting of the electrode rod. During hoisting, the load is transferred through the lifting ring to the two flanges, then to the screw, shackle, and hook, thus ensuring the load is transferred step-by-step and preventing stress concentration.

The shackle 3 is located at the bottom of the screw 2, and the hook 4 is located at the bottom of the shackle 3. The shackle 3 and the hook 4 make it easy for workers to lift the electrode rod.

[0023] The connecting component 5 is located at the bottom of the screw 2. Under the action of the connecting component 5, the screw 2 and the first connecting seat 51 rotate at a certain angle outside the rotating ball 52, allowing the electrode rod to be adjusted at a certain angle during hoisting. The connecting component 5 includes a first connecting seat 51 threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 2. By setting the first connecting seat 51, rotating the screw 2 ensures a stable connection between the screw 2 and the first connecting seat 51. A rotating ball 52 is rotatably connected inside the first connecting seat 51. Under the action of the rotating ball 52, the first connecting seat 51 can rotate at a certain angle. A second connecting seat 53 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating ball 52. A horizontal pin 54 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting seat 53. By setting the horizontal pin 54, the inside of the horizontal pin 54 is threadedly connected to the outside of the second connecting seat 53, facilitating the disassembly of the second connecting seat 53 by the operator, thus enabling the disassembly and assembly of the device.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, a first positioning nut 6 is provided on the outer side of the horizontal pin 54. By providing the first positioning nut 6, it is convenient for the staff to position the horizontal pin 54. An anti-slip sleeve 7 is provided on the outer side of the screw 2. By providing the anti-slip sleeve 7, it is convenient for the staff to rotate the screw 2.

[0025] The screw 2 is threadedly connected to a second positioning nut 8. By setting the second positioning nut 8, it is easy for the operator to position the screw 2. The screw 2 is threadedly connected to a jacking pipe 9. By setting the jacking pipe 9, it is easy for the operator to connect and install the screw 2 to the first flange 10.

[0026] The top of the jacking pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the first flange 10. By setting the first flange 10, it is convenient for workers to connect the screw 2 and the lifting ring 1. The top of the first flange 10 is provided with a graphite gasket 11. By setting the graphite gasket 11, the deformation difference caused by the thermal expansion of the two flanges can be compensated.

[0027] A second flange 12 is provided on the top of the graphite gasket 11. A connecting bolt 13 is provided inside the second flange 12. By providing the connecting bolt 13, it is easy to position and connect the two flanges.

[0029] Working principle: When the operator needs to lift the electrode rod, first connect the lifting ring 1. At the same time, by rotating the screw 2, the screw 2 is stably connected to the jacking pipe 9. The two flanges are stably connected by the connecting bolt 13. Then, rotate the screw 2 so that the screw 2 enters the designated position inside the first connecting seat 51. At the same time, the cross pin 54 enters the inside of the shackle 3. Rotate the second connecting seat 53 so that the second connecting seat 53 is stably connected to the cross pin 54. Then, connect the hook 4 to the electrode rod. Through mechanical equipment, the lifting ring 1 starts to move. At the same time, this device can be installed and removed at any time without affecting the crane to carry out other work. The open hook 4 can easily lift and lower the electrode rod while ensuring strength.
