Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane technology, specifically to an anti-sway lifting device for a single-beam crane. Background Technology
[0002] A single-girder overhead crane is a type of mechanical equipment driven by an electric motor, using a single girder as the main load-bearing component for lifting and transportation. It is also known as a single-girder gantry crane or single-girder trolley. When the electric hoist is lifting or braking, the load will experience horizontal acceleration due to inertia, causing the hook to deviate from the vertical direction. The swaying hoist may collide with surrounding personnel or equipment, especially in confined spaces (such as workshops and warehouses), easily leading to accidents such as crushing and collisions.
[0003] In the use of existing anti-sway lifting devices for single-girder cranes, single-girder cranes usually use hard limiters (such as guide rods) to prevent the lifting device from swaying during use. However, the hard limiters will bear a lot of stress during the anti-swaying process, which will cause the lifting device to be subject to additional resistance during the raising and lowering process, making it unable to operate smoothly, and may lead to wear, deformation or even damage to the lifting device. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an anti-sway lifting device for a single-girder crane includes a crane beam 1, which is the core support structure of the entire crane, typically a horizontally arranged I-beam or box girder, used to bear the entire weight of the lifting device and load. A main beam 2 is provided on the outer side of the crane beam 1, connected to the crane beam 1 via a drive system, used to drive the lifting device to move along the outer side of the crane beam 1. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. A movable frame 3 is provided on the outer side of the main beam 2. The movable frame 3 is a movable component installed on the main beam 2, used to support the electric hoist 4 and achieve horizontal positioning. The adjustment of the hoisting position is a common existing technology and will not be elaborated on here; an electric hoist 4 is installed on the inner side of the mobile frame 3. The electric hoist 4 is the core lifting mechanism of the lifting device, used to achieve vertical lifting and lowering of the load; a wire rope 5 is installed on the outer side of the electric hoist 4. The wire rope 5 is a flexible transmission component connecting the electric hoist 4 and the lifting device (such as the hook 8), used to transmit lifting force; a fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mobile frame 3, a connecting plate 7 is installed below the fixed plate 6, and a hook 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 7 for hoisting items; it also includes:
[0025] A limiting mechanism 9 for reducing the swaying stress of the hook 8 is disposed between the fixed plate 6 and the connecting plate 7. The limiting mechanism 9 includes a damper 91 and a connecting seat 92. When the hook 8 sways due to inertia or external force, the connecting plate 7 will undergo a slight lateral (horizontal) or longitudinal (vertical) displacement relative to the fixed plate 6. The piston rod of the damper 91 will shift accordingly, generating a damping force through the flow of internal oil or other media, converting the swaying energy into heat energy for dissipation, thereby suppressing the swaying of the hook 8. The damper 91 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 7 and two sets are provided. The top of each set of dampers 91 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 92. The limiting mechanism 9 also includes The guide assembly 93 and the scissor lift assembly 94 are provided. The guide assembly 93 is located inside the connecting seat 92, and the scissor lift assembly 94 is located outside the guide assembly 93. The guide assembly 93 includes a guide groove 931 formed in the inner wall of the connecting seat 92. A sliding shaft 932 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 931. The guide groove 931 restricts the movement direction of the sliding shaft 932, keeping the sliding shaft 932 moving in parallel. The scissor lift assembly 94 includes a first rotating rod 941 that rotates at one end of the sliding shaft 932. A second rotating rod 942 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting seat 92. A connecting shaft 943 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the first rotating rod 941 and the second rotating rod 942. The first rotating rod 941 and the second rotating rod 942 are connected by the connecting shaft 943 to improve their stability during movement. The telescopic movement of the scissor lift assembly 94 absorbs some kinetic energy, reducing the swing amplitude of the hook 8. One end of the wire rope 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 7, and the outer side of the wire rope 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 6.
[0026] A balancing mechanism 10 for improving the stability of the hook 8 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. The balancing mechanism 10 also includes a connecting component 101 and a fixing component 103. The connecting component 101 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7, and the fixing component 103 is disposed on the outside of the counterweight 102, and there are two sets of them. The connecting component 101 includes a limiting groove 1011 opened at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. A connecting block 1012 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 1011. The bottom of the connecting block 1012 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the counterweight 102. The counterweight 102 can adjust its position by sliding the connecting block 1012 in the limiting groove 1011. The limiting groove 1011 will affect the connecting block 101. The movement path of 2 is restricted, and the counterweight 102 is ensured to move parallel along a predetermined trajectory. The fixing component 103 includes a mounting base 1031 fixed to the outside of the counterweight 102. The bottom of the connecting plate 7 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 1032 spaced apart. The inner wall of the mounting base 1031 and the inner wall of the threaded holes 1032 are connected by bolts. The inner walls of the mounting base 1031 and the threaded holes 1032 are both threadedly connected to the bolts. By screwing in the bolts, the position of the counterweight 102 can be fixed. Through the multiple threaded holes 1032 arranged in parallel, the position of the counterweight 102 at the bottom of the connecting plate 7 can be flexibly adjusted, and the number of counterweights 102 can be increased or decreased according to the usage.
[0027] Working principle: When lifting items, the electric hoist 4 is started first. The drum rotates, releasing the wire rope 5. The connecting plate 7 and hook 8 move under their own weight. As the height of the connecting plate 7 changes, one end of the first rotating rod 941 slides along the guide groove 931 via the sliding shaft 932. At this time, the second rotating rod 942 changes its connection angle with the first rotating rod 941, rotating and unfolding to limit the lateral displacement of the connecting plate 7, forming a mechanical limit to prevent excessive swing amplitude. Simultaneously, multiple dampers 91 absorb the swing energy, accelerating the attenuation of the swing. This effectively improves the stability of the hook 8 during movement. At the same time, when lifting different items, the position and number of counterweights 102 can be adjusted according to the load weight. Specifically, when adjusting the position of the counterweights 102, the counterweights 102 can be pushed to make the connecting block 1012 slide along the inner side of the limiting groove 1011. Then, by screwing the bolts into the inner wall of the mounting base 1031 and the threaded hole 1032, the counterweights 102 can be fixed. By changing the distribution position of the counterweights 102 at the bottom of the connecting plate 7, the eccentric torque of the load can be offset, and the swaying tendency of the hook 8 can be reduced.
