Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hoisting technology, specifically to a cable collection bin for an electromagnetic chuck for a crane. Background Technology
[0002] When loading and unloading steel coils using suction cups, the suction cup cable moves with the up and down movement of the hook. The cable can easily get caught between the hook pulley and the wire rope, causing it to break frequently. In severe cases, the current can burn the wire rope, causing the coil to fall to the ground, into the truck bed or the bottom of the ship's hold, posing a significant safety hazard. At best, the coil will be deformed and scrapped; at worst, it can injure equipment or personnel. Therefore, cable collection bins are needed to protect the cable.
[0003] A typical cable collection hopper consists of a cable collector cover and a cable support mesh. When the crane's electromagnetic chuck is working, the cable extends and retracts with the rise and fall of the chuck. The funnel-shaped cover and cable support mesh structure of the cable collection hopper allow the cable to move and be collected naturally within it, avoiding problems such as uneven cable stress, excessive bending or wear, and extending the cable's service life.
[0004] However, this method results in cables hanging down inside the cable collection bin, leading to a messy and disorganized collection process. When a cable malfunctions, maintenance personnel find it difficult to quickly locate the problem. Furthermore, when multiple cables are intertwined and squeezed together, it is impossible to visually determine which part of the cable is damaged or short-circuited, increasing the difficulty of cable fault diagnosis. In addition, the hanging state does not provide sufficient stability support for the cables, making them prone to swaying during operation and failing to meet the requirements of hoisting work. Therefore, a cable collection bin with an electromagnetic chuck for overhead cranes is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cable collection bin for a crane electromagnetic chuck, which solves the technical problems of cables hanging inside the collection bin, resulting in messy cable collection, difficulty for maintenance personnel to quickly locate the problem when a cable malfunctions, and the inability to provide sufficient stability support for the cable, making the cable prone to shaking during operation.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cable collector for a crane electromagnetic chuck, comprising:
[0009] The cable collection cover has a mounting bracket welded to the upper part of its inner cavity, a cable support mesh plate installed at the bottom end of the cable collection cover, and a bearing seat installed at the top center of the mounting bracket.
[0010] The transmission disc is hinged to the bottom center of the mounting bracket via bearings. Insert plates are inserted inside the mounting bracket, and winding frames are connected to the outer ends of the insert plates. Arc-shaped grooves are formed inside the transmission disc.
[0011] The insert shaft is inserted into the inside of the arc-shaped groove, and the top end of the insert shaft is connected to the corresponding position of the bottom of the insert plate. The handle is inserted into the inside of the bearing seat.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting bracket is pentagonal in shape, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the wire support plate. The number of arc-shaped grooves and inserts is the same as the number of sides of the mounting bracket, which facilitates assembly.
[0013] Preferably, the outer corners of the winding frame are rounded, and the outer side of the winding frame is equipped with limiting protrusions. The number of limiting protrusions is 8-12 sets. The added limiting protrusions facilitate the limiting of the cable.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom end of each insertion shaft is coaxially mounted with a limiting piece, the bottom end of the handle passes through the middle of the mounting bracket, and the bottom end of the handle is connected to the corresponding position of the top of the transmission disc, which facilitates transmission.
[0015] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a sliding groove at the position corresponding to the insert plate inside, and the top of the sliding groove passes through the top of the mounting bracket at the corresponding position.
[0016] Preferably, each of the sliding grooves is equipped with a slider, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the insert plate, and the top of each slider is connected to a cross plate. The added slider and cross plate can improve the stability of the insert plate during movement.
[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cable collection bin for a crane electromagnetic chuck, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The cable hopper of this crane electromagnetic chuck, with its added cable collection cover and winding rack, allows cables to be placed inside the cable collection cover and wound around the outside of the winding rack. The winding rack allows the cables to be wound in an orderly manner inside the cable collection cover, avoiding messy cable accumulation, facilitating centralized management and maintenance of cables, reducing the difficulty of cable fault diagnosis and repair. By turning the handle, the transmission disc can be rotated, which in turn drives the insertion plate to expand synchronously through the arc groove and insertion shaft. This allows the winding rack to expand synchronously, tightening the cable, increasing cable stability, and preventing cable drooping and entanglement. It ensures the normal expansion and contraction of the cable and its service life, reduces safety hazards, and facilitates inspection and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0029] This utility model provides a technical solution: a cable collection hopper for a crane electromagnetic chuck, comprising a cable collection cover 1, a mounting bracket 2, a cable support mesh plate 3, a through hole 4, a bearing seat 5, a transmission disc 6, an arc-shaped groove 7, an insert plate 8, a winding frame 9, a limiting protrusion 10, an insert shaft 11, a limiting piece 12, a handle 13, a sliding groove 14, a slider 15, and a horizontal plate 16.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 The cable tray cover 1 has a mounting bracket 2 welded to the upper part of its inner cavity. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The bottom end of the cable tray cover 1 is equipped with a cable support mesh plate 3. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 A bearing seat 5 is installed at the top center of the mounting bracket 2;
[0031] Please see Figure 4 The transmission disc 6 is hinged to the bottom center of the mounting bracket 2 via bearings. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 Each mounting bracket 2 has an insert plate 8 inserted inside. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The outer ends of the insert plate 8 are all connected to the winding frame 9. The transmission disc 6 has an arc-shaped groove 7 inside. The mounting bracket 2 is pentagonal in shape. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The wire support plate 3 has a through hole 4 in the middle of its interior, and the number of arc grooves 7 and insert plates 8 is the same as the number of sides of the mounting bracket 2.
[0032] Please see Figure 5 The insertion shaft 11 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 7, and the top end of each insertion shaft 11 is connected to the corresponding position on the bottom of the insertion plate 8. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The bearing housing 5 has a handle 13 inserted inside, and the outer corners of the winding frame 9 are all rounded. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 Limiting protrusions 10 are installed on the outer side of the winding frame 9. The number of limiting protrusions 10 is 8-12 sets. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The bottom end of the insertion shaft 11 is coaxially mounted with a limiting piece 12. The bottom end of the handle 13 passes through the middle of the inside of the mounting bracket 2. The bottom end of the handle 13 is connected to the corresponding position of the top of the transmission plate 6. With the addition of the cable collection cover 1 and the winding frame 9, the cable can be put into the inside of the cable collection cover 1 and wound around the outside of the winding frame 9. The winding frame 9 can make the cable wound in an orderly manner inside the cable collection cover 1, avoiding the cable from piling up messily, facilitating centralized management and maintenance of the cable, reducing the difficulty of cable fault diagnosis and repair. The rotation of the handle 13 can drive the rotation of the transmission plate 6, thereby driving the insertion plate 8 to expand outward synchronously through the arc groove 7 and the insertion shaft 11. This allows the winding frame 9 to expand outward synchronously to tension the cable, increasing the stability of the cable and preventing the cable from drooping and tangling. This ensures the normal expansion and contraction of the cable and its service life, reduces safety hazards, and facilitates inspection and maintenance.
[0033] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mounting bracket 2 has a groove 14 at the position corresponding to the insertion plate 8. The top of the groove 14 passes through the top of the mounting bracket 2 at the corresponding position. A slider 15 is inserted inside the groove 14. The bottom of the slider 15 is connected to the top of the insertion plate 8 at the corresponding position. The top of the slider 15 is connected to a horizontal plate 16.
[0034] This solution, through the addition of a cable tray 1 and a winding frame 9, allows cables to be placed inside the cable tray 1 and wound around the outside of the winding frame 9. The winding frame 9 allows the cables to be wound in an orderly manner inside the cable tray 1, avoiding messy cable accumulation, facilitating centralized management and maintenance of the cables, reducing the difficulty of cable fault diagnosis and repair. By rotating the handle 13, the transmission disc 6 can be rotated, which in turn drives the insertion plate 8 to expand outward synchronously through the arc groove 7 and the insertion shaft 11. This, in turn, allows the winding frame 9 to expand outward synchronously, tightening the cables, increasing cable stability, and preventing cable drooping and entanglement. This ensures the normal expansion and contraction of the cables and extends their service life, reduces safety hazards, and facilitates inspection and maintenance.
