Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crane technology, and specifically relates to a balancing device for a crane basket. Background Technology
[0002] During high-altitude operations in building construction, hoists and other equipment are used to lift suspended platforms with wire ropes to achieve high-altitude work. Since wire ropes are flexible tension structures, the suspended platforms are prone to tilting due to uneven stress.
[0003] Existing crane cradle balancing devices, while meeting the basic requirement of balancing and fixing the cradle to walls such as curtain walls to prevent damage from swaying, typically rely on direct adhesion between the cradle and the curtain wall during the adhesion and fixing process. This often fails to properly clean the dust and other impurities adhering to the area before adhesion, easily affecting the adhesion effect and consequently impacting the stability of the cradle. Therefore, they do not fully meet user needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a balancing device for crane baskets. It not only meets the basic requirement of stabilizing the basket through adsorption and fixation, but also cleans the dust and other debris adhering to the wall to be adsorbed in advance, thereby enhancing the connection between the adsorption structure and the wall and the balancing effect.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a balancing device for a crane basket, including a cleaning module and an adsorption fixing module disposed on the side of the basket body near the wall. The cleaning module includes a linear slide on the middle side of the basket body. A first telescopic push rod is disposed on the slide seat of the linear slide. A drive motor is disposed on the output shaft of the first telescopic push rod through a mounting bracket. A support plate is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor. A soft scraper is disposed on the support plate.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the linear slide table has a guide tube located at the side end of the first telescopic push rod on the slide base, and a guide rod that is inserted into the guide tube is provided on the mounting base.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the adsorption and fixing module includes a second telescopic push rod disposed on the side end of the basket body. The output shaft of the second telescopic push rod is provided with an installation frame that allows the support plate to pass through. Multiple vacuum suction cups are disposed on the installation frame. A vacuum pump is disposed on the installation frame. A guide pipe connected to the vacuum suction cups is disposed on the vacuum pump. A release valve is also disposed on the vacuum suction cups.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting frame is provided with a plurality of guide plates located at the side end of the second telescopic push rod, and the side end of the suspended basket body is also provided with guide slots that are inserted into the guide plates.
[0009] As a further improvement of this invention, a one-way valve is also provided on the air guide pipe. The one-way valve on the air guide pipe effectively prevents air backflow under vacuum conditions, ensuring the stability and safety of the system.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the support plate is provided with a fixing groove for engaging the output shaft of the drive motor. The fixing groove is provided with a fixing bolt for threading the output shaft of the drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is provided with a threaded fixing hole for threading the fixing bolt. Through the cooperation of the fixing groove, fixing bolt, and threaded fixing hole, the support plate and the output shaft of the drive motor can be flexibly fixed, allowing users to easily replace severely worn scraping structures.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixing bolt is a hand-tightening bolt.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, there are four guide slots and four guide plates. The four guide slots correspond to the four corners of the side end of the suspended platform body, and the four guide plates correspond to the four corners of the mounting frame. The layout of the four guide slots and guide plates is reasonable, and they are located at the four corners of the suspended platform body and the mounting frame, which further improves the stability and balance of the overall structure.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the flexible scraper can be made of any one of silicone, rubber, polyurethane, and soft plastic. Users can choose flexible scrapers of different materials (such as silicone, rubber, polyurethane, or soft plastic) according to their actual needs to adapt to different working environments and surface characteristics.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] Firstly, by setting up a cleaning module, dust and other debris on the wall to be adsorbed can be cleaned in advance, thereby improving the connection between the adsorption structure and the wall, and thus enhancing the overall balance of the device.
[0016] Secondly, through the cooperation of the linear slide and the first telescopic push rod, the vacuum suction cup can automatically clean the suction position on the wall, removing dust and other impurities.
[0017] Thirdly, the second telescopic push rod, mounting frame, and multiple vacuum suction cups, combined with a vacuum pump, provide a stable suction force, ensuring the stability of the suspended platform under different working conditions. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.
[0025] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a balancing device for a crane basket includes a cleaning module and an adsorption and fixing module disposed on the side of the basket body 100 near the wall. The cleaning module includes a linear slide 101 disposed on the middle side of the basket body 100. A first telescopic push rod 102 is disposed on the slide of the linear slide 101. A drive motor 103 is disposed on the output shaft of the first telescopic push rod 102 via a mounting bracket 108. A support plate 104 is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 103. A soft scraper 105 is adhered to the support plate 104. The soft scraper 105 is made of any one of silicone, rubber, polyurethane, and soft plastic. Users can select different materials (such as silicone, rubber, polyurethane, or soft plastic) for the soft scraper 105 according to actual needs to adapt to different working environments and surface characteristics.
[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the linear slide table 101 has guide sleeves 106 located on the left and right sides of the first telescopic push rod 102 on its slide base, and a guide rod 107 that is inserted into the guide sleeves 106 on the mounting base. Through the lateral insertion and cooperation of the guide sleeves 106 and the guide rods 107, the mounting base, support plate 104 and soft scraper 105 can be stably moved closer to or further away from the wall, and the first telescopic push rod 102 can be prevented from being easily deformed and damaged by torsional forces during the rotation of the support plate 104 and the soft scraper 105.
[0027] After the crane lifts the basket to a certain height and close to the wall, the slide block on the linear slide table 101 moves along a set trajectory, driving the first telescopic push rod 102, mounting base, support plate 104, and soft scraper 105 to move until the soft scraper 105 aligns with the wall portion to be adhered to. Then, the output shaft of the first telescopic push rod 102 extends a certain length, causing the soft scraper 105 to contact the wall. The motor is then started, causing the soft scraper 105 to rotate and scrape away impurities adhering to the wall, cleaning away dust and other debris. Next, the output shaft of the first telescopic push rod 102 shortens a certain length, causing the soft scraper 105 to move away from the wall. The linear slide table 101 then moves the soft scraper 105 to a position corresponding to the other wall portion to be adhered to, and the cleaning process continues in the same manner.
[0028] Then the drive motor 103 can stop working, the scraper can stop rotating and return to a horizontal state, and the output shaft of the first telescopic push rod 102 can be shortened by a certain length, so that the soft scraper 105 can pass through the mounting frame 202 to return to a horizontal position.
[0029] like Figure 1 ,3 As shown, the adsorption and fixing module includes a second telescopic push rod 201 disposed on the side of the basket body 100. The output shaft of the second telescopic push rod 201 is provided with an installation frame 202 that allows the support plate 104 to pass through. Multiple vacuum suction cups 203 are disposed on the installation frame 202. A vacuum pump 204 is disposed on the installation frame 202. A guide pipe 205 connected to the vacuum suction cups 203 is disposed on the vacuum pump 204. A release valve 206 is also disposed on the vacuum suction cups 203.
[0030] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the mounting frame 202 is provided with multiple guide plates 207 located on the side of the second telescopic push rod 201, and the side of the suspended basket body 100 is also provided with guide slots 208 that engage with the guide plates 207. Through the engagement of the guide plates 207 and the guide slots 208, the second telescopic push rod 201 can stably push the mounting frame 202, and the second telescopic push rod 201 is prevented from being easily deformed and damaged by non-lateral forces.
[0031] After cleaning, the output shaft of the second telescopic push rod 201 extends to a certain length, pushing the mounting frame 202 closer to the wall until the vacuum suction cup 203 touches the cleaned part of the wall to be adsorbed and fixed. Then, the vacuum pump 204 is started, and the air in the vacuum suction cup 203 is extracted through the air guide pipe 205 to form a vacuum state, thereby achieving a firm adsorption to the wall, thus giving the hanging basket significant balance and stability.
[0032] When it is necessary to remove the adsorption, open the release valve 206 on the vacuum suction cup 203 to allow outside air to enter the suction cup, breaking the vacuum state and thus easily removing the adsorption.
[0033] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, a one-way valve 209 is also provided on the air guide pipe 205. The one-way valve 209 on the air guide pipe 205 effectively prevents air backflow under vacuum conditions, ensuring the stability and safety of the system.
[0034] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 4As shown, the support plate 104 is provided with a fixing slot 210 for engaging the output shaft of the drive motor 103. The fixing slot 210 is provided with a fixing bolt 211 for threading the output shaft of the drive motor 103. The output shaft of the drive motor 103 is provided with a threaded fixing hole for threading the fixing bolt 211. By simply engaging the output shaft of the drive motor 103 with the fixing plate, and then passing the fixing bolt 211 through the side wall of the fixing slot 210 and threading it into the threaded fixing hole, the support plate 104 and the output shaft of the drive motor 103 can be flexibly fixed. By simply separating the fixing bolt 211 from the threaded fixing hole and releasing the connection between the fixing slot 210 and the output shaft of the drive motor 103, the support plate 104 and the soft scraper plate 105 can be separated from the output shaft of the drive motor 103, allowing the user to easily replace severely worn scraper structures. The fixing bolt 211 is a hand-tightening bolt. Workers can easily adjust the fixing bolt 211 by hand.
[0035] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, there are four guide slots 208 and four guide plates 207. The four guide slots 208 correspond to the four corners of the side of the suspended platform body 100, and the four guide plates 207 correspond to the four corners of the mounting frame 202. The layout of the four guide slots 208 and guide plates 207 is reasonable, located at the four corners of the suspended platform body 100 and the mounting frame 202, which further improves the stability and balance of the overall structure.
[0036] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
