[0038] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0039] When it is not necessary to decelerate the crane drum, the first telescopic assembly 5 and the second telescopic assembly 6 are retracted. The first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 401 respectively drive the first decelerator 302 and the second decelerator 402 away from the annular decelerator 102 until neither the first decelerator 302 nor the second decelerator 402 is in contact with the annular decelerator 102.

In this embodiment, the overspeed protection device for the crane will decelerate the crane drum.
[0040] In this embodiment, an overspeed protection device for a crane provided in Embodiment 1 can be used. If the speed of the crane drum increases, the first telescopic spring 504 and the second telescopic spring 604 will be stretched under the influence of increased centrifugal force. The first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 401 will then drive the first deceleration plate 302 and the second deceleration plate 402 to approach the annular deceleration plate 102, until both the first deceleration plate 302 and the second deceleration plate 402 are in contact with the annular deceleration plate 102, thereby decelerating the crane drum. If the speed of the crane drum decreases, the first telescopic spring 504 and the second telescopic spring 604 will be shortened under the influence of weakened centrifugal force. The first rotating arm 301 and the second rotating arm 401 will then drive the first deceleration plate 302 and the second deceleration plate 402 away from the annular deceleration plate 102, until neither the first deceleration plate 302 nor the second deceleration plate 402 are in contact with the annular deceleration plate 102, thereby preventing the crane drum from being decelerated.
[0041] This embodiment can also use an overspeed protection device for cranes provided in Embodiment 2, which controls the speed of the crane drum by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder.
[0042] This embodiment can prevent the cargo from falling rapidly, thereby improving the safety of crane operation.

Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
