Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial lifting equipment technology and is mainly applied to material handling operations in various industrial production sites. It relates to an electric hoist support system in lifting machinery technology, specifically an electric hoist steel structure. This electric hoist steel structure is designed to provide a stable and reliable support structure for the electric hoist equipment, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of material handling operations. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, electric hoists, as crucial material handling equipment, directly impact operational efficiency and safety through the performance of their supporting steel structures. However, traditional electric hoist support structures suffer from numerous technical limitations, failing to meet the demands of modern industrial production for efficient, stable, and safe operation. The widely used monorail electric hoist support structure has a limited working range, often requiring frequent relocation of the entire device to meet operational needs at different locations. This not only reduces work efficiency but also increases the labor intensity of operators. Furthermore, traditional structures lack sufficient rigidity, making them prone to deformation and vibration under heavy loads, affecting operational accuracy and equipment lifespan.

[0003] Existing electric hoist support structures also have significant defects in their connection methods. Most traditional structures use simple welding or bolt connections, lacking effective reinforcement measures. During long-term use, due to frequent start-stop operations and load changes, the connections are prone to loosening and stress concentration, leading to decreased structural stability. Furthermore, traditional structures have poor torsional resistance and are easily deformed under lateral forces, which not only affects the hoist's operating accuracy but also poses safety hazards. These problems are particularly pronounced in heavy-duty, high-frequency industrial environments, severely restricting the full performance of electric hoist equipment.

[0004] Traditional electric hoist support structures also have significant shortcomings in terms of operational stability and safety. The traditional structure offers poor maintenance convenience; once partial damage occurs, it often requires complete replacement or large-scale repairs, increasing operating costs. These problems are particularly prominent in applications such as modern production lines where equipment reliability is paramount, and urgently need to be addressed through technological innovation. While various improvements have been attempted to address these technical issues, the results have been limited and fail to meet the urgent needs of modern industrial production for efficient, stable, and safe material handling equipment. Therefore, developing a new type of electric hoist steel structure that improves operational performance and practicality while maintaining structural strength has become a pressing technical challenge.

[0033] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0034] To fully understand this utility model, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the electric hoist steel structure of this utility model, the structure mainly consists of a support leg 2, a main beam 4, reinforcing ribs 3, a first track 5, a second track 6, and an electric hoist 7. The support leg 2 is vertically positioned with a foot 1 at its bottom for fixing the entire steel structure. The upper end of the support leg 2 is connected to the main beam 4, which is an I-beam structure with high bending strength and stability. The reinforcing rib 3 connects the support leg 2 and the main beam 4, enhancing the rigidity of the overall structure and preventing deformation due to excessive load or external forces. The first track 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main beam 4, and the second track 6 is slidably connected below the first track 5 and can move along it. The electric hoist 7 is installed at the lower end of the second track 6 and can move along it, enabling bidirectional (X-axis and Y-axis) operation for precise positioning and material handling. This double-layer track design of this utility model enables the electric hoist to move bidirectionally, greatly expanding its working range and improving operational efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, the support leg 2 is a square steel structure with a base 1 at its bottom. The base 1 has bolt mounting holes and can be fixed to the ground with expansion bolts or chemical anchors to ensure the stability of the entire steel structure. The fixed installation of the base 1 in this invention enables the entire steel structure to be stably fixed on different types of ground.

[0037] In one embodiment, the number of support legs 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Typically, four support legs are used, arranged in a rectangular shape, to provide uniform support.

[0038] In one embodiment, the main beam 4 is an I-beam structure, with its flanges fixed to the upper end of the support leg 2 by bolts. The flange and web design of the I-beam gives it high bending and torsional resistance, enabling it to withstand the weight of the electric hoist 7 and the load, while reducing deformation caused by long-term use.

[0039] The reinforcing rib 3 is connected between the support leg 2 and the main beam 4 to enhance the stability of the overall structure.

[0040] In one embodiment, the stiffener 3 is connected to the main beam 4 by a connecting plate 10. The inner edge of the connecting plate 10 is provided with a protrusion that matches the profile of the I-beam flange, so that it can fit tightly against the flange of the main beam 4 and be fixed by bolts to ensure a firm connection.

[0041] In one embodiment, the reinforcing rib 3 is connected to the support leg 2 by a fixing plate 8. The fixing plate 8 has through holes for bolts to pass through. The reinforcing rib 3 is fixed to the fixing plate 8 by bolts, making the connection between the support leg 2 and the main beam 4 more stable and preventing loosening due to vibration or load changes.

[0042] This practical reinforcing rib 3 is arranged between the support leg and the main beam, forming a stable mechanical support system and significantly enhancing the overall rigidity of the structure.

[0043] Track 1 (5) is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main beam 4, and track 2 (6) is slidably connected below track 1 (5) and can move along track 1 (5). Electric hoist 7 is slidably installed at the lower end of track 2 (6) and can move along track 2 (6), enabling bidirectional operation.

[0044] In one embodiment, buffer springs 9 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of track 5 and track 6 to absorb the impact force when the electric hoist 7 runs to the end of the track, prevent collision damage, and improve the service life of the equipment.

[0045] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 10 is used to connect the reinforcing rib 3 and the main beam 4. The protruding structure on its inner edge mates with the I-beam flange of the main beam 4 and is fixed by bolts to ensure a firm connection.

[0046] In one embodiment, the fixing plate 8 is used to connect the reinforcing rib 3 and the support leg 2, and has multiple bolt through holes for easy adjustment and fixing, thereby improving installation flexibility.

[0047] The special protruding design on the inner edge of the connecting plate 10, in this utility model, cooperates with the flange of the main beam 4 to ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection. Buffer springs 9 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of track 5 and track 6. When the electric hoist 7 runs to the end of the track, the buffer springs 9 can absorb the impact force, provide cushioning, reduce noise, and prevent damage to the track and electric hoist 7 due to collision, thus improving the safety and durability of the equipment. The electric hoist steel structure forms a stable frame structure through the reasonable layout of the support legs 2, main beam 4, and reinforcing ribs 3. The bidirectional sliding design of track 5 and track 6 allows the electric hoist 7 to move flexibly to meet the lifting needs of different positions.

[0048] This utility model's electric hoist steel structure, through modular design, significantly improves the ease of use and maintenance of the equipment. Standardized design of each component facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance, greatly shortening equipment installation and repair time. The modular structure allows for restoration of use simply by replacing the corresponding component in case of partial damage, reducing maintenance costs. This utility model's electric hoist steel structure is suitable for material handling operations in factories, warehouses, logistics centers, and other locations. It can stably support the operation of the electric hoist, improve work efficiency, and reduce equipment damage caused by structural deformation or vibration, thus possessing high practical value. Through reasonable structural design and connection methods, this utility model's electric hoist steel structure achieves high stability, high load-bearing capacity, and flexible operation, meeting lifting requirements under different working conditions and having broad application prospects.
