Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric hoists, specifically a lubrication device for the wire rope of an electric hoist. Background Technology
[0002] Electric hoists are specialized lifting equipment installed on overhead cranes and gantry cranes. They are characterized by their small size, light weight, simple operation, and ease of use, and are commonly used in industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses, docks, and other similar locations. During operation, the wire rope of an electric hoist is typically exposed to the air. Since the working environment of electric hoists is often harsh, this can cause corrosion of the wire rope. The corrosion damage to the wire rope surface creates differences in oxygen affinity, causing one area of the metal to act as the anode and another adjacent area as the cathode, forming numerous small batteries. Under the influence of these batteries, many circular corrosion pits form on the surface, gradually deepening until rust appears on the wire rope. This can eventually lead to the wire rope jamming or even seizing, affecting the operation of the electric hoist.
[0003] Currently, lubricating wire ropes requires workers to hold an oil drum and apply the lubricating oil to the wire rope using a brush. This method of lubricating wire ropes needs to be done separately when the electric hoist is not in operation, which is labor-intensive and affects the working efficiency of the electric hoist. Therefore, we propose a lubrication device for electric hoist wire ropes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lubrication device for the wire rope of an electric hoist, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome its technical defects.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:
[0012] The combination of a fixed frame, rotating column, and bearings allows the limit guide wheel to rotate, which in turn limits the movement of the wire rope. A hook facilitates the lifting of objects, a protective cover protects the electric hoist body, a storage tank stores lubricating oil, and a pump and distributor pipe allow for oil extraction and distribution. A drip head allows for lubricating oil to drip out, and absorbent cotton blocks absorb the lubricating oil. A compression spring and absorbent cotton blocks clamp the wire rope, facilitating lubrication during operation, saving manpower, and preventing any impact on the electric hoist's efficiency.
