Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and warehousing equipment, and more specifically to a dual-drive hoist. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of air travel, higher demands are being placed on the efficiency and reliability of airport logistics. Simultaneously, with the continuous advancement of logistics warehousing technology, the adoption rate of automated warehouses (AS / RS) is gradually increasing, making them an important component of airport logistics. Hoists are the core equipment of AS / RS, primarily used for vertical or inclined material transport. They typically employ powered machinery to move flexible components and transported goods up and down to achieve their transport function. To ensure a satisfactory cargo experience for passengers, high requirements are placed on the stability, safety, and cleanliness of the hoists.
[0003] Currently, the hoists commonly used in airport automated warehouses mostly employ a single counterweight structure, driven by either wire rope traction or sprocket and chain transmission. Those using wire rope traction are simply called traction hoists, while those using sprocket and chain transmission are called chain hoists. Both single-counterweight traction hoists and chain hoists can lead to uneven stress on the ground, thus requiring higher ground load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the transmission structure of traction hoists is prone to slippage, resulting in faster wear and potentially affecting efficiency and safety; chain hoists, on the other hand, generate more noise, and the chain lubricant can easily contaminate goods, impacting the freight experience.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a dual-drive hoist, comprising a main support frame 1, a loading platform 2, a left drive assembly 31, and a right drive assembly 32. The loading platform 2 is slidably installed in the main support frame 1, and the sliding direction of the loading platform 2 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Both the left drive assembly 31 and the right drive assembly 32 are installed in conjunction with the main support frame 1, and are respectively connected to the two sides of the loading platform 2. Both the left drive assembly 31 and the right drive assembly 32 adopt a drive structure combining a motor and a counterweight. The dual-drive hoist uses a double-counterweight suspension structure to drive the loading platform to move up and down, resulting in more balanced ground pressure, a more stable overall structure, lower ground load requirements, and lower construction costs.
[0027] The main support frame 1 consists of four uprights 10 and several crossbeams 11. The uprights 10 are set perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the uprights 10 are connected to each other by several crossbeams 11. A set of loading platform guide rails 12 are installed on the main support frame 1. The loading platform guide rails 12 are located on opposite sides of the loading platform 2. The loading platform guide rails 12 are fixedly connected to several crossbeams 11, and the loading platform 2 is slidably connected to two loading platform guide rails 12.
[0028] See Figure 2Maintenance platforms 14 are installed on the top sides of the main support frame 1, where the left drive assembly 31 and the right drive assembly 32 are mounted. The maintenance platforms 14 are integrated with the columns 10 for convenient maintenance work. To facilitate access to the maintenance platforms 14, ladders 141 are installed on their sides, integrated with both the platforms and columns 10. Maintenance devices 15 are installed on the crossbeams 11 at the top of the main support frame 1. These devices are located on top of the left drive assembly 31 and the right drive assembly 32, allowing workers to easily and quickly perform maintenance and replacement operations once they reach the maintenance platforms 14.
[0029] See Figures 3 to 5 The left drive assembly 31 includes a left motor 310, a left synchronous belt 311, a left synchronous pulley 312, and a left counterweight 313. Both the left motor 310 and the left synchronous pulley 312 are mounted to the crossbeam 11 at the top of the main support 1. The left motor 310 is connected to the left synchronous pulley 312 via a transmission connection. The left synchronous belt 311 has a toothed structure on its inner side and is arranged around the left synchronous pulley 312 through this toothed structure. The two ends of the left synchronous pulley 312 are connected to the loading platform 2 and the left counterweight 313, respectively. When the left motor 310 drives the left synchronous pulley 312 to rotate, it causes the loading platform 2 to rise. The power required by the left motor 310 can be significantly reduced under the action of the left counterweight 313.
[0030] Specifically, the left motor 310 is mounted to the crossbeam 11 via the left motor mounting bracket 3100, and the left synchronous pulley 312 is mounted to the main support 1 via the left synchronous pulley bearing seat 3120. A tensioning device 3121, which is mounted to the crossbeam 11, is provided at the top of the left synchronous pulley 312. The bottom of the tensioning device 3121 has several guide rollers 3122 that contact the left synchronous belt 311 from the top. The left synchronous belt 311 is clamped between the left synchronous pulley 312 and the guide rollers 3122 to prevent slippage and avoid slippage.
[0031] Several left counterweight guide wheels 314 are installed on both sides of the left counterweight 313. Several counterweight guide rails 13 that cooperate with the left counterweight guide wheels 314 are installed on the main support 1. The counterweight guide rails 13 are connected to the column 10 and the crossbeam 11. Through the connection between the left counterweight guide wheels 314 and the counterweight guide rails 13, the left counterweight 313 can be guided to move along a fixed trajectory.
[0032] The right drive assembly 32 includes a right motor 320, a right synchronous belt 321, a right synchronous pulley 322, and a right counterweight 323. Both the right motor 320 and the right synchronous pulley 322 are mounted to the crossbeam 11 at the top of the main support 1. The right motor 320 is connected to the right synchronous pulley 322 via a transmission connection. The right synchronous belt 321 has a toothed structure on its inner side and is arranged around the right synchronous pulley 322 through this toothed structure. Both ends of the right synchronous pulley 322 are connected to the loading platform 2 and the right counterweight 323, respectively. When the right motor 320 drives the right synchronous pulley 322 to rotate, it causes the loading platform 2 to rise. The right counterweight 323 significantly reduces the power required by the right motor 320.
[0033] Specifically, the right motor 320 is mounted to the crossbeam 11 via a right motor mounting bracket, and the right synchronous pulley 322 is mounted to the main support 1 via a right synchronous pulley bearing housing. A tensioning device, which is mounted to the crossbeam 11, is installed at the top of the right synchronous pulley 322. The bottom of the tensioning device has several guide pulleys that contact the right synchronous belt 321 from the top. The right synchronous belt 321 is clamped between the right synchronous pulley 322 and the guide pulleys to prevent slippage and avoid slippage.
[0034] Several right counterweight guide wheels are installed on both sides of the right counterweight 323. Several counterweight guide rails 13 that cooperate with the right counterweight guide wheels are installed on the main support 1. The counterweight guide rails 13 are connected to the column 10 and the crossbeam 11. Through the connection between the right counterweight guide wheels and the counterweight guide rails 13, the right counterweight 323 can be guided to move along a fixed trajectory.
[0035] The dual-drive hoist uses a counterweight-balanced drive, which requires lower motor torque and allows for the use of smaller power motors, resulting in lower production costs. The hoist employs a synchronous belt drive, preventing slippage and oil contamination of goods during operation, thus improving operational efficiency and safety, and enhancing the freight experience.
[0036] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 On opposite sides of the loading platform 2, connectors 21 are installed that are connected to the left drive assembly 31 and the right drive assembly 32 respectively. Loading platform guide wheel assemblies 22 are installed on the connectors 21, and the loading platform guide wheel assemblies 22 are slidably connected to the loading platform guide rail 12.
[0037] The loading platform guide wheel assembly 22 includes several loading platform guide wheels 221 that are rotatably connected to the connector 21. The loading platform guide wheels 221 contact the loading platform guide rail 12. Furthermore, a protective net 222 is provided on the outside of the loading platform guide wheels 221 and is installed in conjunction with the connector 21 to prevent external debris from entering and causing the loading platform guide wheels 221 to jam, thereby improving safety and reducing the failure rate.
[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
