[0020] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0021] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0022] As described in the background section, in the automotive manufacturing industry, the efficiency and safety of the assembly process of automotive corner modules are crucial, as they are key components of automobiles. The assembled automotive corner modules on the assembly line are quite heavy, weighing over 30 kg. Traditionally, the corner module assemblies require two workers to lift and carry them off the line and place them into the equipment. With an average daily output of approximately 2000 sets of corner modules, weighing about 60 tons, manual handling presents significant operational difficulties and major safety hazards. Furthermore, with an average of one corner module being carried off the line per minute, this method of two workers carrying them off the line is inefficient, and there is a risk of the corner modules falling during lifting, seriously threatening the personal safety of workers and potentially damaging the modules, thus increasing production costs.

[0023] For the reasons mentioned above, this embodiment provides a lifting device for unloading automotive corner modules, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes a telescopic lifting member 100 and a hanging member 200. The upper part of the telescopic lifting member 100 is movably installed on an external crossbeam, and the hanging member 200 is suspended from the lower end of the telescopic lifting member. Optionally, the telescopic lifting member is an electric hoist.

[0024] The hanging component 200 includes a main body, a handle 300 in the middle of the main body, at least one hook at the lower part of the main body, and a suspension part at the top of the main body that is connected to the telescopic hanging component.

[0025] The aforementioned technical features change the position of the corner modules through hoisting. Compared to the traditional two-person manual lifting of the product, the innovative design of the corner module handling hoist allows the product to be moved by an electric hoist carrying the innovative hoisting device described in this article. It is also convenient for single-person operation, and the height adjustment is more convenient. The height adjustment can be achieved by operating the telescopic hoisting device (such as the electric hoist) with one hand. At the same time, by setting a handle to move the corner module, the position of the corner module is more convenient to change. Especially when positioning, it can be operated with one hand, thereby improving the assembly and unloading efficiency.

[0026] like Figures 3-6As shown, in one embodiment, the main body is an inverted V-shaped rod with two curved hook portions 202 at the lower part and an annular suspension portion 203 at the upper part of the V-shaped rod.

[0027] The V-shaped rod has a mounting part 201 in the middle, which is formed by two crossbars 2012 and a horizontal plate 2011. The two crossbars are fixed parallel to each other in the middle of the V-shaped rod, and the horizontal plate facilitates the fixing of the V-shaped rod and the crossbars respectively. The handle is fixedly installed in the mounting part.

[0028] Among the above technical features, suspension is achieved through two diagonal modules with hooks (such as...). Figure 1 As shown, it can achieve two-point positioning, which can avoid the rotation of the corner module and improve the stability of the suspension; the mounting part is formed by the crossbar plate and the crossbar, which can improve the installation stability of the handle. Since the V-shaped bar has an included angle, the crossbar and the crossbar plate can also play a supporting role, improving the structural stability of the V-shaped bar.

[0029] To improve the installation stability of the handle, in one embodiment, the mounting part 201 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 2013 by bolts 2014 and connected to a crossbar by bolts. The mounting plate is threadedly connected to the handle. During installation, the mounting plate is welded to the crossbar, forming a single unit; the mounting plate increases the thickness of the crossbar, thus enhancing the connection stability of the handle. The handle 300 includes a shaft 302 and a rotating sleeve 301. The rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted on the shaft, which is threadedly connected to the mounting plate. Figure 6 As shown, improvements to the handle enhance operator comfort, especially when the handle and the hand rotating relative to each other. The rotating sleeve ensures that the handle and the hand remain in contact, reducing hand chafing caused by traditional handles.

[0030] 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. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
