Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sponge hoisting equipment, specifically to a hoisting and clamping device for sponge processing. Background Technology

[0002] During the sponge processing, the foamed blocks need to be placed in the curing area to stand until the internal structure is solidified and stable before they can be cut. The distance from the foaming workshop to the curing warehouse usually spans multiple production areas. Giant sponge blocks need to be hoisted and transferred by lifting equipment or overhead cranes and placed directly on the curing rack. Sponge hoisting and clamping equipment is a special material handling device designed for the fluffy and easily deformable characteristics of sponges. It is widely applicable to sponge cutting, molding, stacking, and warehousing and transportation processes.

[0003] However, existing devices mostly use single-point hook hoisting or simple rope binding. Single-point hooks can only bear force from a single point on the top of the sponge. Because the sponge is soft, it is easy to tilt, deform, or even slip off the hook during transportation. Simple rope binding relies entirely on manual judgment of rope tightness, and it is impossible to flexibly adjust the clamping force according to the size of the sponge. The rope is easy to loosen during transportation, resulting in large swing amplitude of the sponge. This not only affects the transportation efficiency, but may also cause damage due to the sponge hitting the equipment or the ground, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a hoisting and clamping device for sponge processing. After the sponge is suspended by a hook, the device uses a binding rope to form a ring clamp around the sponge, which effectively prevents the sponge from shaking during transportation and avoids the risk of falling. The device also pulls outward and rotates the rotating rod to tighten the binding rope, further stabilizing the sponge. It is suitable for hoisting sponges of different sizes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hoisting and clamping device for sponge processing, comprising a column, an I-beam fixedly connected to the top of the column, a U-shaped plate at the bottom of the I-beam, and wheels mounted on both inner walls of the U-shaped plate, the wheels being slidably mounted on the inner walls of the I-beam, an electric push rod mounted at the bottom of the U-shaped plate, a hook being movably mounted on the piston rod of the electric push rod, a receiving shell mounted on one outer wall of the U-shaped plate, an annular groove on the inner wall of the receiving shell, a slot on the inner wall of the annular groove, a rotating rod penetrating one side of the receiving shell, a ratchet at the end of the rotating rod, the ratchet matching the shape of the slot, a restraining rope connected to the rotating rod, the end of the restraining rope penetrating the hook through a collar.

[0007] Preferably, a motor is installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped plate away from the receiving shell, and the rotation shaft of the motor passes through the U-shaped plate and is fixedly connected to one side of one of the walking wheels.

[0008] Preferably, the piston rod of the electric push rod is rotatably mounted with a rotating shaft, and a lifting ring passes through the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the lifting ring passing through the top end of the hook.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 An embodiment of this utility model provides a hoisting and clamping device for sponge processing, comprising: a column 2 and an I-beam 1.

[0017] Among them, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the I-beam 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 2. The bottom of the I-beam 1 is provided with a U-shaped plate 4. Both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 4 are equipped with traveling wheels 5. The traveling wheels 5 are slidably installed on both sides of the inner wall of the I-beam 1. An electric push rod 9 is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 4. The piston rod of the electric push rod 9 is movably equipped with a hook 11. The I-beam 1 forms a horizontal moving track. The U-shaped plate 4 slides along both sides of the inner wall of the I-beam 1 through the traveling wheels 5 installed on both sides, so as to realize the overall horizontal position adjustment of the device.

[0018] When hoisting the sponge, first slide the U-shaped plate 4 above the sponge to be hoisted, then activate the electric push rod 9 at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 4 to extend its piston rod, which will drive the movable hook 11 to descend, making it easier for the operator to hook the sponge.

[0019] Furthermore, a motor 6 is installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped plate 4 away from the housing 7. The rotating shaft of the motor 6 passes through the U-shaped plate 4 and is fixedly connected to one side of one of the traveling wheels 5. The motor 6 provides power, and its rotating shaft drives the connected traveling wheel 5 to rotate on both sides of the inner wall of the I-beam 1. Since the traveling wheel 5 slides with the inner wall of the I-beam 1, it drives the entire U-shaped plate 4 to move automatically horizontally along the I-beam 1 without manual pushing.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 Furthermore, the piston rod of the electric push rod 9 is rotatably mounted with a rotating shaft 12. A lifting ring 10 passes through the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 and passes through the top end of the hook 11. The rotating shaft 12 can rotate around the piston rod of the electric push rod 9. The rotating shaft 12 is connected to the hook 11 through the lifting ring 10, so that the hook 11 has a flexible degree of freedom of rotation. When the sponge is being lifted and swaying occurs, it can reduce rigid damage to the piston rod of the electric push rod 9 and the hook 11, and improve the lifting stability.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4As shown, a receiving shell 7 is installed on one outer wall of the U-shaped plate 4. The inner wall of the receiving shell 7 is provided with an annular groove 17. The inner wall of the annular groove 17 is provided with a slot 18. A rotating rod 16 passes through one side of the receiving shell 7. A ratchet 15 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 16. The ratchet 15 matches the shape of the slot 18. A binding rope 8 is connected to the rotating rod 16. The end of the binding rope 8 passes through the hook 11 through the collar 13.

[0022] After the hook 11 catches the sponge, the operator wraps the restraint rope 8 around the sponge and then hooks the collar 13 into the hook 11 to form a ring clamp for the sponge. In addition, the operator pulls outward and rotates the rotating rod 16 that passes through the outer wall of the U-shaped plate 4 on one side of the housing 7 to tighten the restraint rope 8 on the rotating rod 16, further stabilizing the sponge. When the rotating rod 16 is released, the ratchet 15 at the end of the rotating rod 16 will engage with the slot 18 in the annular groove 17, using the matching structure of the two to lock the restraint rope 8 and prevent the sponge from shaking.

[0023] Furthermore, a spring 19 is provided inside the annular groove 17. One end of the spring 19 abuts against the inner wall of the annular groove 17, and the other end abuts against one side of the ratchet 15. When the operator rotates the lever 16 to tighten the restraint rope 8 and then releases the lever 16, the spring 19 can push the ratchet 15 to automatically engage in the corresponding slot 18 in the annular groove 17, simplifying the operation and preventing the restraint rope 8 from loosening.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting block 14 is hinged to the outer wall of the collar 13. After the collar 13 passes through the hook 11, the limiting block 14 is rotated to the opening of the collar 13, which can prevent the collar 13 from slipping off the hook 11.

[0025] Specifically, a base plate 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the column 2. The base plate 3 increases the contact area between the column 2 and the ground, providing a supporting foundation for the column 2.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When this utility model is used, the I-beam 1 forms a horizontal moving track, and the U-shaped plate 4 slides along the inner walls of the I-beam 1 through the walking wheels 5 installed on the inner walls of both sides, so as to realize the overall horizontal position adjustment of the device.

[0027] When hoisting the sponge, first slide the U-shaped plate 4 above the sponge to be hoisted, then activate the electric push rod 9 at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 4 to extend its piston rod, which drives the movable hook 11 to descend, making it easier for the operator to hook the sponge. Then, the operator wraps the restraining rope 8 around the sponge and hooks the collar 13 into the hook 11 to form a ring clamp for hoisting the sponge. In addition, pull outward and rotate the rotating rod 16 that passes through the outer wall of the U-shaped plate 4 on one side to tighten the restraining rope 8 on the rotating rod 16, further stabilizing the sponge.

[0028] When the rotating rod 16 is released, the ratchet 15 at the end of the rotating rod 16 will engage with the slot 18 in the annular groove 17, and the binding rope 8 will be locked by the matching structure of the two to prevent the sponge from shaking. Finally, the piston rod of the electric push rod 9 retracts, driving the hook 11 and the sponge to rise, and then the U-shaped plate 4 is slid through the traveling wheel 5 to transfer the sponge to the designated processing position, completing the hoisting operation.

[0029] All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
