Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crane technology, and in particular relates to a European-style explosion-proof hoist. Background Technology
[0002] Electric hoists are a type of special lifting equipment installed on overhead cranes and gantry cranes. They are characterized by their small size, light weight, simple operation, and ease of use, and are used in industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses, docks, and other places. However, most existing electric hoists are suspended on I-beam rails at the bottom of the main beam, resulting in a relatively light lifting capacity. Furthermore, the controller is exposed, which can easily generate electrical sparks when the motor starts, making them unsuitable for environments with high explosion-proof requirements. In some environments, such as workshops with high dust levels or those containing flammable and explosive gases, the electrical control system must be isolated from the outside air to prevent accidents. Therefore, existing electric hoists have relatively light lifting capacities and low explosion-proof ratings, making them unsuitable for locations with higher explosion-proof requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problems of lightweight and low explosion-proof rating of electric hoists, this utility model provides a European-style explosion-proof hoist. It includes a support frame with two vertically spaced support plates. Several fixing rods are provided between the support plates, and the support plates are fixedly connected by these rods. The support frame has a traveling mechanism adapted to the main beam track. The traveling mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged rotating shafts between the two support plates. The two ends of the rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the support plates, and both ends of the two support plates are fixed with traveling wheels. It also includes a traveling motor fixed to the support plates, which is connected to the rotating shafts via a power supply and a PLC controller. Starting the traveling motor drives the traveling wheels to rotate, and the traveling wheels roll along the main beam track, moving the support frame. A lifting mechanism is installed on a support frame on one side of the main beam track, and an electrical control system is installed on a support frame on the other side of the main beam track. A lifting device is located below the support frame and is connected to the lifting mechanism via a wire rope. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting drum, both ends of which are rotatably mounted on the support frame. It also includes a lifting motor fixed to the support frame, with a reducer between the lifting motor and the lifting drum. The lifting drum is connected to the lifting motor via the reducer. The lifting motor is connected to the power supply and electrical control system via a cable. Starting the lifting motor drives the lifting drum to rotate, and the lifting drum moves the hook vertically by pulling the wire rope. The electrical control system includes a detachable housing fixed to the support frame. The front of the housing has a circular opening with a cover that fits the opening. The cover is detachably fixed to the opening of the housing with bolts. One side of the housing has an aviation connector for cable entry and exit. In use, after the cable passes through the aviation connector, it is sealed with glass putty to achieve a seal and isolate it from the outside air. The electrical control components are located inside the housing.
[0004] Preferably, the bottom of the box is provided with a support leg, which can be detachably fixed to the support frame for easy disassembly and fixation of the box; the cover is provided with a cover stop to enhance the sealing performance.
[0005] Preferably, the lifting device includes a hook and a movable pulley assembly. The movable pulley assembly includes a pulley bracket, the hook is fixed to the lower end of the pulley bracket, and a number of movable pulleys are mounted on the upper end of the pulley bracket via a support shaft. The movable pulleys are connected to the lifting mechanism via wire ropes.
[0006] Preferably, the support frame on one side of the hoisting drum is equipped with a hoisting height limiter, which can limit the hoisting height of the hook and improve safety.
[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the hook is provided with a copper film to enhance wear resistance.
[0008] The above-mentioned approach has the following advantages:
[0009] The enclosure and cover of the electrical control unit protect the electrical components. The aviation connectors facilitate the passage of wiring and can be sealed with glass putty during use to isolate the device from the outside air, enhancing explosion-proof performance. The integrated design of the hoisting drum, hoisting motor, and reducer saves space and makes the structure more compact. The use of a traveling mechanism that moves along both sides of the main beam track improves stability, and the selection of a more powerful hoisting motor can increase the lifting capacity as needed. The outer surface of the hook is covered with a copper film to enhance wear resistance. Attached Figure Description

The traveling motor 33 is connected to a power source and a PLC controller via a cable. When the traveling motor 33 is started, it drives the traveling wheels 32 to rotate. The traveling wheels 32 roll along the main beam track 2 and drive the support frame 1 to move. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided on a support frame 1 on one side of the main beam track 2, and an electrical control system 5 is provided on a support frame 1 on the other side of the main beam track 2. A lifting device 6 is provided below the support frame 1. The lifting device 6 is connected to the lifting mechanism 4 through a wire rope 63.

When the lifting motor 42 is started, the lifting motor 42 drives the lifting drum 41 to rotate. The lifting drum 41 pulls the hook 62 to move in the vertical direction through the wire rope 63. The electrical control system 5 includes a housing 51 that is detachably fixed to the support frame 1. The front end of the housing 51 has a circular opening, and a cover 52 that matches the opening is provided at the opening. The cover 52 is detachably fixed to the opening of the housing 51 by fixing bolts 53. One side of the housing 51 is provided with an aviation connector 54 for cable entry and exit. In use, after the cable passes through the aviation connector 54, it is sealed with glass putty to achieve the function of sealing and isolating the outside air.

The other end of the cable is connected to the travel motor 33 and the hoisting motor 42. After the cable passes through the aviation connector 54, it is sealed with glass putty to isolate it from the outside air. The travel motor 33 is started, and the travel wheel 32 rolls along the main beam track 2, thereby moving the equipment along the direction of the main beam track 2. When the hook 62 moves above the object to be lifted, the hoisting motor 42 is started. The hoisting motor 42 drives the hoisting drum 41 to rotate. The hoisting drum 41 pulls the hook 62 down to the object and lifts it through the wire rope 63. Then, the hoisting motor 42 is started in reverse, and the hoisting motor 42 pulls the hook 62 and the object up through the hoisting drum 41. Then, the travel motor 33 is started again to adjust the position of the hook 62. After the object is moved to the designated position, the hook is removed.
