Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a protective installation structure, and more particularly to a concealed protective installation structure for a light curtain device and chain drive of a construction hoist. It is applied to intelligent control construction hoists and belongs to the field of construction lifting and transportation machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic cage doors are a crucial component of the intelligence level of smart construction hoists, requiring no manual intervention to open or close. Currently, the main transmission methods for automatic cage doors in smart construction hoists on the market are rack and pinion transmission and sprocket and chain transmission. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figures 1-2 As shown, it mainly includes a drive sprocket 1, chain 2, counterweight 3, counterweight track frame 4, hanging chain plate 5 for the cage door, light curtain 6, cage door frame 7, and cage door 8; the sprocket and chain drive is mainly achieved by installing the drive sprocket 1 on the cage door frame 7, with the chain 2 hanging on the drive sprocket 1. One end of the chain 2 is connected to the counterweight 3, and the other end of the chain 2 is connected to the hanging chain plate 5 of the cage door. The installation position is mainly inside the cage (see...). Figure 3 ) and external installation (see) Figures 1-2 However, none of them have corresponding protective measures. The movement of the chain can be directly seen by the human eye. In complex construction environments, the falling of construction debris such as ash and dust, as well as the conscious or unconscious contact of personnel entering and exiting, will affect whether the automatic cage door can open and close smoothly.

[0003] Automatic hoist cage doors typically employ a two-tiered anti-pinch protection system consisting of a mechanical anti-pinch device and an infrared light curtain or laser detection device. The infrared light curtain device is directly installed on the side walls of the hoist cage (protruding from the wall surface, see...). Figures 1-3 Therefore, construction workers and other transport vehicles inevitably scrape or touch the infrared light curtain when entering and exiting, and in severe cases, may even damage the infrared light curtain device. Thus, without the supervision of a dedicated driver, both of these situations pose certain safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to provide a more secure and effective structural design that can conceal the infrared light curtain device and transmission chain, preventing them from being directly exposed on the surface and reducing the uncertainties caused by external factors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing technology and to provide a concealed protective installation structure for the light curtain device and chain drive of a construction hoist, so that it is not directly exposed on the surface and reduces the uncertain influence of external factors.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: the light curtain device and the hidden protective installation structure of the chain drive of the construction hoist include a bending plate one, a bending plate two, and a bending plate three. The bending plate one is fixed on the cage frame. The feature is that it also includes a counterweight, a light curtain, and a light curtain frame. The bending plate two and the bending plate three are installed on the bending plate one to form a track space for placing the counterweight. The counterweight moves vertically along the track space formed by the bending plate one, the bending plate two, and the bending plate three. The light curtain is installed on the light curtain frame.

[0007] Preferably, this utility model also includes a counterweight track sealing plate, wherein the surfaces of the second and third bent plates are flush in the same direction and each has mounting holes, and is fixed by the counterweight track sealing plate; in order to cover the counterweight block and prevent personnel from touching the counterweight block and affecting its operation.

[0008] Preferably, the light curtain frame of this invention is provided with a U-shaped bent plate, which also serves as a shield for the chain.

[0009] Preferably, the U-shaped plate of this invention has a rivet nut on one side, which is bolted to the bending plate, and the gap between the other side and the bending plate is large enough to allow the chain plate to pass vertically, so as to cover the chain.

[0010] Preferably, the light curtain and the light curtain frame of this invention are connected by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the bending plate of this utility model is formed by bending and is directly welded to the cage frame, which has a large internal space to accommodate the counterweight and chain movement.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: (1) The overall structure is reasonably designed, which solves the problem that when the infrared light curtain is installed on the inner wall of the cage, it is easily scratched and damaged by the goods being transported in and out, thus affecting the anti-pinch function of the cage door; (2) This utility model solves the problem of hidden protection of chain drive, preventing the automatic cage door from not being able to open and close properly due to the falling of construction ash and other debris and the conscious or unconscious contact of personnel entering and exiting when the chain is exposed on the surface.
