Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hoisting machine technology, and more specifically, to a linkage control lever for a rigid clutch and a band brake. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN100402404C discloses a portable hoist. To save resources and improve work efficiency during descent, it invented rigid clutches such as pin-type clutches and jaw clutches for use on the portable hoist. These clutches allow for the separation and engagement of the output shaft of the portable hoist with the rope drum on which the wire rope is wound. When lifting heavy objects, the clutch is engaged, and the motor drives the hoist upward; when descending, the clutch disengages, allowing the motor to rest.
[0003] When the clutch is disengaged, the load suspended by the wire rope falls at near-free-fall speed, significantly increasing safety hazards. Therefore, a manual band brake was subsequently installed on the rope drum. Operating the brake allows control of the descent speed, overcoming these safety risks. However, the clutch lever and brake lever are located in different positions, requiring precise timing and sometimes the use of both hands and feet. This is inconvenient and can potentially create new safety hazards due to operational errors. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a linkage control lever for a rigid clutch and a band brake. This device combines the originally separate clutch control lever and brake control lever into one linkage control lever, which is convenient to operate and avoids operational errors.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A linkage control lever for a rigid clutch and a band brake includes a base, an output shaft, and a rope drum, which is mounted on the output shaft via a bearing. The control part includes a linkage control lever, a control lever support, and a control lever connecting pin. The control lever support is fixedly mounted on the base, and the linkage control lever is hinged to the control lever support through the control lever connecting pin. The clutch section is mounted on the output shaft and connected to the linkage control lever to achieve the engagement and disengagement of power. The brake section is mounted on the rope drum and connected to the linkage control lever to achieve braking and release.
[0006] The linkage control lever includes a control lever with an ear loop structure at the lower end. The control lever is hinged to the control lever support via a control lever connecting pin, and the hinge point has a gap that allows the linkage control lever to swing left and right. A foot-operated lever, wherein the foot-operated lever is disposed on the upper part of the control lever earring structure; A clutch lever is provided above the foot control lever. An elongated hole is provided in its plane in the same direction as the axis of the control lever. A shift fork rod passes through the elongated hole and can prevent hard interference between the linkage control lever and the shift fork rod when the brake is pulled back and forth. A brake pull lug is provided, which is positioned above the clutch actuation bracket; A hand-operated handle is located at the top of the joystick.
[0007] The axis of the foot-operated lever is coplanar with the thickness-thin symmetry plane of the lever lug structure; the thickness-thin symmetry plane of the clutch actuation frame is perpendicular to the thickness-thin symmetry plane of the lever lug structure; the thickness-thin symmetry plane of the brake pull lug is coplanar with the thickness-thin symmetry plane of the lever lug structure.
[0008] The clutch part includes: a coupling, which is fitted onto the output shaft via a spline clearance fit and has an annular groove on its outer contour; A follower, wherein the follower is disposed on the rope drum; A shift fork that acts on the annular groove of the connector; A shift fork handle, the rear end of which is fixedly connected to the shift fork; A shift fork lever, the rear end of which is threadedly connected to the front end of the shift fork handle; A shift fork holder, which is fixedly mounted on the bearing seat; A shift fork pin is provided, which passes through a pin hole in the middle of the shift fork frame and the shift fork handle, and hinges the shift fork handle to the U-shaped groove of the shift fork frame. The front end of the shift fork rod passes through the elongated hole of the clutch actuation frame and connects to it. When the linkage control lever operates the brake to pull back and forth, the shift fork rod does not disengage from the clutch actuation frame and does not interfere with the shift fork handle.
[0009] The shift fork holder has a U-shaped structure that appears L-shaped when viewed from above, in order to avoid interference with the shift fork when it is turned.
[0010] The brake component includes: A brake drum, wherein the brake drum is disposed on the outer edge of the rope drum; Brake band, the brake band is wrapped around the outside of the brake drum; Brake band support, the brake band support is fixedly mounted on the machine base; Brake band pin, the brake band pin is used to connect the rear end of the brake band to the brake band support, and to connect the front end of the brake band to the brake pull lug; A brake band tension spring, the front end of which is connected to the brake band, and the rear end of which is fixed to the machine base by a tension spring seat.
[0011] The brake band has a composite structure, consisting of an outer brake steel band and an inner brake asbestos band.
[0012] When the linkage control lever is not pulled by an external force, the brake band tension spring can automatically pull back the brake band, causing the brake band to separate from the brake drum and thus releasing the brake.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By integrating the clutch and brake operating mechanisms onto a single linkage joystick, unified control of functions is achieved. Operators no longer need to switch between multiple joysticks, simplifying the operation process and significantly improving ease of use. The linkage joystick includes both hand and foot operating levers, supporting both hand and foot operation methods to adapt to different work scenarios and operating habits, providing a flexible and effortless operating experience. Through clever spatial layout design, the thickness symmetry plane of the clutch actuation frame is perpendicular to the symmetry plane of the brake pull lug. This structure achieves motion decoupling between left-right swing control of the clutch and forward-backward pull control of the brake, effectively avoiding mutual interference between operations and ensuring accurate transmission of control intentions. The brake section is equipped with a brake band tension spring with an automatic reset function. When the operating force is released, the brake band automatically relaxes under the action of the tension spring, releasing the brake and preventing prolonged braking or system jamming due to forgetfulness or delayed operation.
