Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane technology, and in particular to an encoder mounting structure for a crane drum. Background Technology

[0002] During crane lifting operations, the lifted and lowered objects need to be lifted and lowered smoothly, reliably, and safely. In particular, the lifting and lowering speeds need to be uniform. The lifting and lowering speeds are controlled by the rotational speed of the drum, which in turn is controlled by a motor to regulate its speed and number of rotations. Therefore, during crane lifting operations, it is necessary to collect key crane data, such as lifting capacity, travel distance, lifting height, and lowering depth, to promptly detect and address machine malfunctions and improper control, preventing damage to the crane and potential engineering accidents.

[0003] Encoders are commonly used for monitoring motor speed and position. An encoder is a detection element used in speed control or position control systems. Photoelectric encoders, in particular, are sensors that convert the mechanical geometric displacement on the output shaft into pulses or digital signals through photoelectric conversion, and are typically used to measure motor speed. Encoders are usually coaxially connected and mounted at the rear end of the motor shaft, directly connected to it. However, in some special cases, the installation space for the motor on a crane is limited, making it impossible to install the encoder on the motor. Therefore, a new encoder installation method is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem that the electrode installation position on the crane is limited in the prior art, and there is not enough space to install the encoder.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an encoder mounting structure for a crane drum, comprising: a drum; a first transmission gear connected to one end of the drum's rotating shaft; a second transmission gear meshing with the first transmission gear; a bearing mounting seat mounted on the crane drum, the second transmission gear being mounted on the bearing mounting seat; and an encoder, the input end of which is connected to the second transmission gear. The encoder is used to detect the rotation signal of the drum through the transmission of the second and first transmission gears. This crane drum encoder mounting structure of this utility model, where the encoder is connected to the drum via gear rotation to collect the motor's rotation signal, is suitable for situations where the motor shaft and encoder cannot be coaxially mounted, and is particularly suitable for applications with limited installation space.

[0006] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transmission gear is provided with a plurality of locking screws, and the transmission gear is locked to one end of the drum shaft by the plurality of locking screws.

[0007] In one embodiment of this utility model, a bearing is provided on the bearing mounting base, and the transmission gear two is connected to the inner ring of the bearing.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bearing mounting seat is provided with a cover, the cover covers the transmission gear two, and the input end of the encoder passes through the cover and is connected to the transmission gear two.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cover is provided with a plurality of locking screws, and the cover is locked to the bearing mounting seat by the plurality of locking screws.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, a limit adapter is provided at one end of the drum housing where the encoder is installed, and the bearing mounting seat is installed on the limit adapter.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting adapter is provided with a plurality of locking screws, and the limiting adapter is locked to the outer shell of the drum by the plurality of locking screws.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a lifting height limiter is connected to the limiting adapter plate, and the lifting height limiter is used to limit the lifting height of the crane hook.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the input end of the lifting height limiter is connected to the first transmission gear, and a cylindrical pin is provided between the input end of the lifting height limiter and the first transmission gear. The input end of the lifting height limiter is connected to the first transmission gear through the cylindrical pin.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting adapter plate is provided with a through hole, and the input end of the lifting height limiter passes through the through hole and is connected to the transmission gear.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The encoder mounting structure for the crane drum described in this utility model mainly consists of a drum, a first transmission gear, a second transmission gear, a bearing mounting base, and an encoder. The encoder and the drum are connected by gear transmission through the first and second transmission gears, thereby detecting the operating status of the motor. By changing the installation method of the encoder, the coaxial connection is replaced with a gear connection to compensate for the situation where the encoder cannot be directly connected to the motor shaft.

[0022] In the above structure, the transmission gear 2 is provided with a plurality of locking screws 21, and the transmission gear 2 is locked to one end of the drum 1 shaft by the plurality of locking screws 21.

[0023] In the above structure, the bearing mounting base 4 is provided with a bearing 41, and the transmission gear 3 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing 41.

[0024] In the above structure, the bearing mounting base 4 is provided with a cover 6, which covers the transmission gear 3.
