Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to electric hoists, and more particularly to a double-limit electric hoist. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Chinese patent CN117466191A discloses a double-limiting chain guide structure, including a chain guide frame. The chain guide frame has a first opening for one end of the chain to pass through, and a hook is provided at the end of the chain extending from the first opening.

[0003] A first limiting device and a second limiting device are provided on the chain guide frame near the first opening. Both the first and second limiting devices include a micro switch and a trigger element that cooperates with the lever arm of the micro switch. The trigger element slides through the chain guide frame, with one end extending out of the chain guide frame to form a trigger head. A buffer stop is provided on the chain near the hook, and the trigger heads of both the first and second limiting devices are located on the movement trajectory of the buffer stop.

[0004] When the buffer block contacts the trigger head of the first limiting device, the hook is in the first rising position. When the buffer block contacts the trigger head of the second limiting device, the hook is in the second rising position, which is higher than the first rising position.

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned dual-limit chain guide structure, both the first and second limit devices adopt a switch structure that needs to directly contact the buffer block. Thus, when the buffer block touches the first and / or second limit devices, the buffer block will impact the internal structure of the electric hoist through the first and / or second limit devices, affecting the service life of the electric hoist. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-limit electric hoist, which has the advantage that its service life is not easily affected by impact.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a double-limiting electric hoist, including a chain guide frame and a lifting chain movably disposed in the chain guide frame. The lower end of the chain guide frame has an opening for one end of the lifting chain to pass through. A hook is provided at the end of the lifting chain passing through the opening. A first limiting device and a second limiting device are provided near the opening on the chain guide frame. The first limiting device includes a micro switch disposed in the chain guide frame, and the trigger rod of the micro switch extends downward out of the chain guide frame. The second limiting device includes a proximity switch disposed in the chain guide frame and a detection body disposed on the hook. The detection body is disposed above the hook. The proximity switch can sense that the maximum distance of the detection body is greater than the maximum distance of the trigger rod extending out of the chain guide frame.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, when the second limit device is in normal working condition, if the hook moves to a point where the distance between the detector and the proximity switch is less than or equal to the maximum sensing distance, the proximity switch will control the electric hoist to close. The second limit device uses a non-contact proximity switch and detector, so that during the process of closing the electric hoist via the second limit device, the hook does not contact the chain guide frame. This reduces the impact on the internal structure of the electric hoist and minimizes its service life. When the second limit device malfunctions, if the hook moves to a point where it contacts the trigger rod of the micro switch, the micro switch will control the electric hoist to close. The micro switch is a contact-type mechanical switch with high structural stability and is less prone to failure, thus preventing the electric hoist from overshooting.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the hook is provided with a buffer spring, the buffer spring is sleeved on the outside of the lifting chain, the upper end of the buffer spring is provided with a buffer block, the center of the buffer block is provided with a through hole, the lifting chain passes through the through hole, and the detection body is provided on the buffer block.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the buffer spring and buffer block can buffer the upward movement of the hook, which can not only prevent the hook from directly hitting the chain guide frame, but also reduce the impact on the electric hoist during the upward movement of the hook.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the buffer block is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove is connected to the through hole, and the upper end of the buffer spring is installed in the mounting groove.

[0012] With the above technical solution, the upper end of the buffer spring is installed in the mounting groove, which improves its stability.

[0013] Preferably, the buffer block is made of rubber.

[0014] With the above technical solution, the buffer block is made of rubber. In this way, when the buffer block touches the chain guide frame, the buffer block can reduce the impact on the chain guide frame through deformation.

[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the buffer block is provided with an assembly groove, and the detection body is installed in the assembly groove.

[0016] With the above technical solution, the testing device is installed in the assembly groove, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0017] Preferably, the device also includes an electric hoist body, the lower end of which has an assembly groove, the chain guide frame is installed in the assembly groove, the electric hoist body has a switching chamber, the switching chamber is arranged side by side with the chain guide frame, the switching chamber has a limit block, the side wall of the limit block has a storage groove for the lifting chain to be placed, the side wall of the limit block has a limit pressure plate, the limit pressure plate covers the opening of the storage groove, and a limit bolt is provided through the limit pressure plate, the limit bolt is used to pass through the lifting chain and press the limit pressure plate tightly and fix it on the limit block.

[0018] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to change the electric hoist from a single chain to a double chain, a hole communicating with the storage groove can be opened at the lower end of the electric hoist body, and the end of the lifting chain can be inserted into the storage groove. The end of the lifting chain is limited by the limit bolt, and the opening of the storage groove is covered by the limit pressure plate.

[0019] Preferably, a fixing block is provided in the switching chamber, and a fixing bolt is provided through the limiting pressure plate to press and fix the limiting pressure plate on the fixing block.

[0020] The above technical solution, with the cooperation of the fixing block and the fixing bolt, and the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting bolt, can effectively improve the connection stability of the limiting pressure plate, thereby more effectively restricting the end of the lifting chain.
