Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hoisting technology, specifically a mechanism for preventing chain deviation in hoists. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment for vertical material transport in industrial production, elevators are widely used in mining, chemical, building materials, and grain industries. Their operational stability directly determines production efficiency and operational safety. In the transmission system of an elevator, the meshing transmission between the chain and sprocket is the key link in realizing material transport.

[0003] However, during long-term operation, traditional elevators are prone to changes in the relative position between the sprocket and the chain due to vibrations and uneven material distribution. This can cause the chain to run off-track. Once the chain runs off-track, it will not only accelerate the wear of the chain, sprocket, and other related components, shorten the service life of the equipment, and increase maintenance costs, but may also lead to instability in the material lifting process, affecting production efficiency.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a chain misalignment prevention mechanism for elevators. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] This utility model proposes a chain deviation prevention mechanism for elevators. By cooperating with the fixed frame, adjusting plate and adjusting bolt in the anti-deviation mechanism, the problem of chain deviation in traditional elevators, which leads to unstable material lifting, is solved.

[0007] (ii) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chain anti-deviation mechanism for a hoist, comprising a lifting shaft, a sprocket at the outer end of the lifting shaft, a chain meshing at the outer end of the sprocket, and an anti-deviation mechanism at the outer end of the sprocket, the anti-deviation mechanism comprising:

[0009] A fixed frame, wherein the upper end and the side end of the fixed frame are connected by a border;

[0010] An adjusting plate is located at the side end of the fixed frame and is slidably connected to the frame. The sprocket and chain are located between the fixed frame and the adjusting plate. The sprocket and chain are slidably connected to the inner walls of the fixed frame and the adjusting plate. The fixed frame and the adjusting plate are provided with sliding grooves, and the lifting shaft is slidably connected in the sliding grooves.

[0011] An adjusting bolt is rotatably connected inside the adjusting plate and threadedly connected inside the fixed frame. A constraint ring is connected to the outer end of the adjusting bolt, and the constraint ring and the bolt head of the adjusting bolt are located on opposite sides of the adjusting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a detachable plate is provided inside the fixed frame and the adjusting plate, and a connecting plate is connected to the outer end of the detachable plate. The connecting plate has a corresponding connecting hole with the fixed frame and the adjusting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a base plate is provided at the lower end of the fixed frame, and an mounting plate is connected to the lower end of the fixed frame. The mounting plate and the base plate are respectively provided with connection holes.

[0018] (iii) Beneficial effects:

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this chain misalignment prevention mechanism for hoists has the following advantages:

[0020] I. This chain deviation prevention mechanism for a hoist, by setting a fixed frame and an adjusting plate, restricts the sprocket and chain between them, forming a blocking constraint on both sides of the sprocket and chain, effectively limiting the chain's lateral movement during operation. The relative position of the adjusting plate and the fixed frame can be adjusted using adjusting bolts, thereby flexibly adjusting the constraint on the sprocket and chain according to the actual operation of the chain, effectively preventing chain deviation, reducing wear on the chain and other components, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0021] 2. The chain deviation prevention mechanism for the hoist is provided by setting a detachable plate inside the fixed frame and adjusting plate. After moving the lifting shaft to the side of the detachable plate, the detachable plate is removed.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a chain anti-deviation mechanism for a hoist, including a lifting shaft 1, a sprocket 2 at the outer end of the lifting shaft 1, a chain 3 meshing at the outer end of the sprocket 2, and an anti-deviation mechanism at the outer end of the sprocket 2, the anti-deviation mechanism including: a fixed frame 4, an adjusting plate 5, and an adjusting bolt 7.

[0031] A frame 401 is connected to the upper and side ends of the fixed frame 4. The adjusting plate 5 is located on the side end of the fixed frame 4 and is slidably connected to the frame 401. The frame 401 can semi-enclose the sprocket 2 and the chain 3 to reduce external dust contamination of the lubricating grease. The sprocket 2 and the chain 3 are both located between the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5. The sprocket 2 and the chain 3 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5. During operation, the sprocket 2 is constrained by the inner walls of the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5, which limits its horizontal deviation, thereby ensuring that the chain 3 runs along the correct trajectory. During operation, the two sides of the chain 3 are in contact with the inner walls of the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 and are constrained by the anti-deviation mechanism to prevent it from deviating in the horizontal direction. The fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 are provided with a sliding groove 6, and the lifting shaft 1 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 6. In this way, the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 will not interfere with or obstruct the operation of the lifting shaft 1.

[0032] The adjusting bolt 7 is rotatably connected inside the adjusting plate 5 and threadedly connected inside the fixed frame 4. A constraint ring 701 is connected to the outer end of the adjusting bolt 7. The constraint ring 701 and the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 7 are located on opposite sides of the adjusting plate 5. When the operator rotates the adjusting bolt 7, due to the transmission action of the thread, the adjusting plate 5 will move closer to or further away from the fixed frame 4 along the frame 401. During the operation of the hoist, if any signs of chain 3 deviation are detected, the operator can rotate the adjusting bolt 7 to apply a suitable lateral force to the chain 3 through the adjusting plate 5, returning the chain 3 to the correct running track and effectively preventing the deviation from worsening.

[0033] The fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 are equipped with a detachable plate 8. The outer end of the detachable plate 8 is connected to a connecting plate 801. The connecting plate 801 and the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 are respectively provided with connecting holes, which are connected by bolts.

[0034] A base plate 9 is provided at the lower end of the fixed frame 4, and an installation plate 402 is connected to the lower end of the fixed frame 4. The installation plate 402 and the base plate 9 are respectively provided with connection holes. The fixed frame 4 can be installed and fixed through the installation plate 402. A lifting cylinder 10 is connected to the upper middle part of the base plate 9. The lifting cylinder 10 is the power source for adjusting the height of the lifting shaft 1. The upper drive end of the lifting cylinder 10 is connected to a lifting block 11. The lifting block 11 is connected to the outer end of the lifting shaft 1 and plays the role of transmitting the power of the lifting cylinder 10. It accurately transmits the vertical driving force generated by the lifting cylinder 10 to the lifting shaft 1, ensuring that the lifting shaft 1 can rise or fall smoothly.

[0035] Support frames 12 are connected to the upper ends of both sides of the base plate 9. The support frames 12 are provided with a first track groove 13 and a second track groove 14. A moving block 15 is slidably connected in the first track groove 13. A bearing is provided in the moving block 15. The side end of the lifting shaft 1 is connected in the bearing, which facilitates the rotation of the lifting shaft 1 in the moving block 15. When the lifting shaft 1 is adjusted in height under the action of the lifting cylinder 10, the moving block 15 slides synchronously in the first track groove 13 to provide lateral constraint for the lifting shaft 1, ensure the stability of the lifting shaft 1 during vertical movement, and prevent it from swaying back and forth.

[0036] A lifting plate 16 is slidably connected inside the second track groove 14. One end of the chain 3 is connected to the upper end of the base plate 9, and the other end is connected to the upper end of the lifting plate 16.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the lifting cylinder 10 is started and drives the lifting shaft 1 to rise or fall through the lifting block 11, thereby driving the sprocket 2 to rise or fall. During the rising or falling process of the sprocket 2, it interacts with the chain 3 to change the height of the connection end between the chain 3 and the lifting plate 16, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate 16.

[0038] When installing or adding the anti-deviation mechanism: First, remove the detachable plate 8, move the lifting shaft 1 to the height of the detachable plate 8, align the notch created by the detachable plate 8 of the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5 with the sprocket 2 of the lifting shaft 1, and then push the fixed frame 4 horizontally so that the lifting shaft 1 passes through the notch and enters the slide groove 6. Then install the detachable plate 8. At this time, the sprocket 2 and the chain 3 will be located between the fixed frame 4 and the adjusting plate 5. According to the width of the sprocket 2 and the chain 3, rotate the adjusting bolt 7 to adjust the distance between the adjusting plate 5 and the fixed frame 4 so that the sprocket 2 and the chain 3 are located between the two and maintain appropriate constraints, forming a blocking constraint on both sides of the sprocket 2 and the chain 3, effectively limiting the chain 3 from moving left and right.

Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
