[0034] 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.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 9The figure shows a preferred embodiment of this utility model, which discloses an automatic unhooking device for a single-blade horizontal lifting device, which can be a single-blade horizontal lifting device 3. The single-blade horizontal lifting device 3 includes an automatic unhooking connecting device 301, a telescopic member 303, and a pin 302. The automatic unhooking connecting device 301 is provided with two parallel ear plates, namely a first ear plate 313 and a second ear plate 315. Each ear plate is provided with a connecting hole on its upper and lower sides. The connecting hole on the upper side is used to connect with the lifting mechanism 2 (such as a hoist) of the horizontal lifting device 1, and the connecting hole on the lower side is used to connect the sling 4. The telescopic component 303 is located at the lower part of the automatic unhooking connecting device 301 and corresponds to the connecting hole on the lower side of the ear plate. One end of the telescopic component 303 is connected to the automatic unhooking connecting device 301, and the other end of the telescopic component 303 is connected to the pin 302. The telescopic component 303 is used to drive the pin 302 to extend and retract. When the automatic unhooking connecting device 301 needs to be connected to the sling 4 (i.e., sling installation), one end of the sling 4 is inserted between the two ear plates. At this time, the end of the sling 4 corresponds to the connecting hole on the lower side. Then, the telescopic component 303 is controlled to drive the pin 302 to extend forward until the pin 302 passes through the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315, the end of the sling 4, and the connecting hole on the lower side of the first ear plate 313 in sequence, so as to hang the end of the sling 4 on the pin 302 between the two ear plates. When it is necessary to release the sling 4 (i.e., unhook, sling detachment), simply control the telescopic component 303 to retract the pin 302. The moving pin 302 will exit the connecting hole on the lower side of the first ear plate 313 and the end of the sling 4 until the outer end of the pin 302 (the end of the pin 302 away from the telescopic component 303) retracts into the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315 or is completely pushed out of the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315. Under its own weight, the sling 4 will completely detach from the automatic unhooking device of the single-blade horizontal lifting device. At this time, the connection between the end of the sling 4 and the pin 302 will be released, achieving the purpose of automatically releasing the sling (i.e., automatic unhooking). In this way, when the lifting is completed, the telescopic component can be remotely operated for retrieval via a remote control device connected to the telescopic component from a high altitude or other location, achieving the purpose of automatically releasing the sling.
[0036] The aforementioned telescopic component 303 can be an electric push rod.
[0037] The aforementioned automatic unhooking connection device 301 may further include a first plate 312, a second plate 314, a third plate 317, and an auxiliary ear plate 319. One end of the first plate 312 is connected to a counterweight 311, and the other end of the first plate 312 is connected to one end face of the first ear plate 313. The other end face of the first ear plate 313 is connected to one end face of the second plate 314, the other end face of the second plate 314 is connected to one end face of the second ear plate 315, the other end face of the second ear plate 315 is connected to one end face of the third plate 317, and the other end face of the third plate 317 is connected to the auxiliary ear plate 319. The counterweight 311 effectively ensures that the automatic unhooking device for the single-blade horizontal sling is in a horizontal state, facilitating the installation and detachment of the sling.
[0038] One or more first auxiliary plates 3110 can be added to the first plate 312, avoiding the connection hole (for example, two first auxiliary plates 3110). The first auxiliary plates 3110 can be set at the lower part of the first plate 312. The upper end of the first auxiliary plate 3110 can be connected to the bottom surface of the first plate 312. The left and right ends of the first auxiliary plate 3110 can be connected to the counterweight 311 and the first ear plate 313 respectively (when the number of added first auxiliary plates 3110 is two, the two first auxiliary plates 3110 can be symmetrically distributed about the connection hole).
[0039] One or more second auxiliary plates 3111 can be added to the second plate 314, avoiding the connection hole (for example, two second auxiliary plates 3111). The second auxiliary plates 3111 can be set at the lower part of the second plate 314. The upper end of the second auxiliary plate 3111 can be connected to the bottom surface of the second plate 314. The left and right ends of the second auxiliary plate 3111 can be connected to the first ear plate 313 and the second ear plate 315 respectively (when the number of added second auxiliary plates 3111 is two, the two second auxiliary plates 3111 can be symmetrically distributed about the connection hole).
[0040] One or more third auxiliary plates 318 can be added to the third plate 317, avoiding the connection hole (for example, two third auxiliary plates 318). The third auxiliary plates 318 can be set on the upper part of the third auxiliary plate 318. The lower end of the third auxiliary plate 318 can be connected to the third plate 317. The right end of the third auxiliary plate 318 can be connected to the second ear plate 315. (When there are two third auxiliary plates 318, the two third auxiliary plates 318 can be symmetrically distributed about the connection hole, and at this time, a stiffening plate 316 can be added between the left ends of the two third auxiliary plates 318.)
[0041] The first plate 312, the second plate 314, the third plate 317, the first auxiliary plate 3110, the second auxiliary plate 3111, the third auxiliary plate 318 and the stiffening plate 316 mentioned above can all be steel plates.
[0042] Two auxiliary ear plates 319, symmetrically distributed about the connecting holes, can be provided at the bottom of the third plate 317. The top of the auxiliary ear plates 319 is connected to the bottom surface of the third plate 317. One end of the telescopic member 303 can be connected to the first connecting holes on the two auxiliary ear plates 319 via a first connecting shaft 304. After passing through, the two ends of the first connecting shaft 304 are connected and fixed by a cotter pin 305 to form a connection between the telescopic member 303 and the auxiliary ear plates 319. The other end of the telescopic member 303 can also be connected to the pin 302 in the same way using a second connecting shaft 306 and a cotter pin 305. This connection method can be directly implemented using existing technology or devices, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0043] A displacement sensor 307 may also be added to the telescopic member 303 to monitor the stroke of the telescopic member 303, so as to ensure that the pin is fully extended into the ear seat (when the pin 302 passes through the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315, the end of the sling 4, and the connecting hole on the lower side of the first ear plate 313, so that the end of the sling 4 is hung on the pin 302 between the two ear plates) or fully retracted (when the outer end of the pin 302 retracts into the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315 or is fully extended out of the connecting hole on the lower side of the second ear plate 315) when it is not visible.
[0044] The aforementioned telescopic component 303 can be equipped with an existing self-locking device or have control code related to the self-locking function added to its control program to ensure that it will not automatically retract or extend at any time, thereby avoiding the danger of the sling accidentally falling off and enhancing the stability, reliability and safety of the automatic unhooking device for single-blade horizontal lifting devices during use.
[0045] All of the above-mentioned undisclosed matters can be implemented using existing technologies, so they will not be elaborated here.
