Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane safety monitoring technology, and in particular to a safety monitoring and alarm device for ensuring crane safety. Background Technology

[0002] Cranes are heavy-duty engineering machinery used for material handling, widely used in construction, ports, and industry. They can be classified by structure into bridge cranes, tower cranes, and truck cranes, etc. They rely on lifting, traveling, luffing, and rotating mechanisms to achieve the displacement of heavy objects. Crane safety monitoring and alarm devices are key equipment to ensure their safe operation. These devices collect parameters such as lifting weight, amplitude, height, and speed in real time through sensors, which are then analyzed and processed by the controller. When the crane approaches or exceeds safety limits, an audible and visual alarm is immediately issued. Some devices can also link with the control mechanism to slow down or stop the crane, effectively preventing accidents such as overload, over-amplitude, and collisions. Simultaneously, they can record operating data, providing a basis for fault diagnosis and safety management, making them an important technical means for crane safety supervision.

[0003] During lifting operations, cranes generate high-frequency vibrations such as boom extension and retraction, and impacts from lifting heavy objects, as well as low-frequency swaying due to overall machine rotation and wind. When tilt sensors are directly fixed to the equipment body, continuous vibration can easily lead to fatigue damage to components such as strain gauges and laser modules inside the sensors, shortening their lifespan. It can also cause measurement data drift, leading to false alarms or missed alarms. In addition, it may cause loose wiring terminals and fatigue breakage of cables, resulting in the failure of the monitoring system. Furthermore, harsh environments such as dust, rain, and high and low temperatures will exacerbate the wear caused by vibration, further reducing reliability. Existing vibration damping solutions mostly use a single rubber pad or spring, which can only buffer unidirectional vibration and lacks protective structures, making it unable to cope with the complex multidimensional vibrations and environmental erosion of cranes.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a safety monitoring and alarm device to ensure the safety of cranes and solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety monitoring and alarm device for ensuring the safety of cranes, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Cranes generate high-frequency vibrations such as boom extension and retraction, and impacts from lifting heavy objects during hoisting operations, as well as low-frequency swaying due to the rotation of the whole machine and the influence of wind. When the tilt sensor is directly fixed to the equipment body, continuous vibration can easily cause fatigue damage to components such as strain gauges and laser modules inside the sensor, shortening their lifespan. It can also cause measurement data drift, leading to false alarms or missed alarms. At the same time, it may cause loose wiring terminals and fatigue breakage of cables, resulting in the failure of the monitoring system. In addition, harsh environments such as dust, rain, and high and low temperatures will aggravate the wear caused by vibration, further reducing reliability. Existing vibration damping solutions mostly use a single rubber pad or spring, which can only buffer unidirectional vibration and lacks protective structure, making it unable to cope with the complex multidimensional vibrations and environmental corrosion of cranes.
