Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crane technology, and specifically relates to a damping and shock-absorbing pulley block for cranes. Background Technology

[0002] A crane is a multi-action lifting machine that vertically lifts and horizontally moves heavy objects within a certain range. It is also known as an overhead crane, gantry crane, or hoist. Some lifting equipment operates intermittently, meaning that the mechanisms for picking up, moving, and unloading materials work alternately within a work cycle. Cranes are becoming increasingly widespread in the market.

[0003] During the lifting process, the crane needs to move the crane around and stop before moving it again. Due to inertia, the lifting rope will sway from side to side during the movement. If the swaying amplitude is large, it will not only cause trouble for the lifting personnel and affect the operation, but also pose a potential risk to the surrounding buildings and workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A damping and shock-absorbing pulley block for a crane includes a crane and an electric hoist installed on the crane. The electric hoist includes a hook and a pulley block, and a hoisting rope is wound around the pulley block and connected to the hook. The pulley assembly includes a mounting frame and pulleys rotatably connected to the mounting frame. The pulleys are rotatably connected to a sensing plate, and a sensing push plate is mounted on the sensing plate. At least two sets of damping and shock-absorbing components are mounted on the sensing push plate. The suspension rope passes around the pulley and then through the damping and shock-absorbing components. When the suspension rope swings, the damping and shock-absorbing components provide buffering and shock absorption. A sensor assembly is also mounted on the sensing plate to detect the rotation of the sensing plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the two sets of damping and shock absorption components are respectively disposed on both sides of the pulley.

[0006] Furthermore, the damping and shock absorption assembly includes a tangential slider for sliding connection of the pulley and an elastic element disposed within the tangential slider. One end of the elastic element abuts against the tangential slider, and the other end abuts against a fixed block. The fixed block is connected to the sensing push plate via a connecting column.

[0007] Furthermore, the sensor assembly includes several sets of tablet pressing sensors, which are evenly distributed on the circumference of the pulley. The sensing plate is provided with several sets of trigger blocks that match the tablet pressing sensors. When the sensing plate rotates, the trigger blocks press down on the tablet pressing sensors to trigger signals.

[0008] Furthermore, the induction push plate is provided with an adjustment slot and an induction slot for accommodating the connecting column, the adjustment slot being used for detachable connection between the induction push plate and the induction rotating plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the induction slots are respectively referred to as the fast response section and the equivalent induction section, and the connecting column moves within the fast response section and the equivalent induction section.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: When this invention is in use, if the rope sway is small, i.e., not exceeding the equivalent sensing range, the rope drives the sensing plate to rotate along the center of the pulley, thereby compressing the elastic element. The elastic element buffers the sway and reduces the rope sway, thus quickly stabilizing the rope. When the rope sway is large, it enters the rapid response range. At this time, due to the large rotation, the sensor signal is triggered, reminding the operator to intervene and reduce the possibility of risk. Attached Figure Description
