In addition, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a communication between the two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 2, this embodiment provides a special lifting device for lifting heavy objects in a closed corridor, including: a track 3, a hanging box 12 and a hook 4; the track 3 is fixed to the bottom of the stair floor 1 of the corridor to ensure that the structural strength meets the lifting requirements. After the installation is completed, the maximum lifting weight that can be borne under the structural conditions is approved according to calculation; the track 3 is provided with a hollow slide groove in the middle along its length, and the track 3 is provided with a rack rail 7 on one side along its length; the hanging box 12 is slidably installed in the slide groove, and one side of the hanging box 12 has a crawling gear 8 that meshes with the rack rail 7. The crawling gear 8 moves between the rack rail 7 to drive the object to be lifted to move up or down the stairs; the other side of the hanging box 12 is provided with an operating chain 6, which is connected to the crawling gear 8 through a transmission mechanism; the hook 4 is installed on the hanging box 12, and the heavy object to be lifted is hung on the hook 4 through a wire rope or a lifting rope in conjunction with a hand winch.

[0025] In this embodiment, a track 3 is fixed to the bottom of the staircase floor 1 in the corridor, a slidable hoisting box 12 is provided on the track 3, the object to be hoisted is hung on the hook 4 of the hoisting box 12, and the operating chain 6 is pulled to drive the transmission mechanism to drive the hoisting box 12 to move on the track 3. This solves the problem of relying on manpower to carry heavy parts, equipment, spare parts, and other materials due to the lack of direct elevator access or direct access to lifting holes in the closed corridors of power plants. In this embodiment, the use of this hoist can complete the handling of objects weighing 150kg, greatly reducing the difficulty of handling, improving work efficiency, and reducing the risk of personal injury and equipment damage. In addition, the hoist has a simple structure, reliable lifting, firm fixation, and easy operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a worm 10, a manual gear 11, and an operating sprocket 5. The creeper gear 8 meshes with the worm 10, which in turn meshes with the manual gear 11. The manual gear 11 rotates coaxially with the operating sprocket 5, and the operating chain 6 is mounted on the operating sprocket 5. Pulling the operating chain 6 causes the operating sprocket 5 and the manual gear 11 to rotate synchronously, transmitting force through the worm 10 to the creeper gear 8. The creeper gear 8 rotates and meshes with the rail teeth 7, causing the mechanism to begin moving up or down.

[0027] In this embodiment, the worm 10 and the manual gear 11 are located inside the hanging box 12 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the worm 10 is fixed in the hanging box 12 through the bearing 9 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the operating sprocket 5 is located outside the hanging box 12 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the track 3 is fixed to the bottom of the stair base plate 1 by expansion bolts 2 .

[0031] In this embodiment, a protruding mounting plate is provided at the front end of the hanging box 12, and the creeper gear 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, and the creeper gear 8 is meshed with the rack 7. In the specific use process, preferably, the hanging box 12 and the rack 7 should be regularly greased to ensure stable operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, sliders adapted to the slide grooves are respectively provided on the top and bottom of the hanging box 12 .

[0033] In this embodiment, ratchets 13 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the hoisting box 12. The ratchets 13 can press against the rack rail 7. A spring 15 is provided on one side of the ratchet 13, and a latch 14 is provided on the other side of the ratchet 13. This ensures that the object can only move in one direction during lifting. If the object slips, the ratchets 13 can immediately engage the rack rail 7 to avoid danger. Depending on whether the lifting method is upward or downward, the ratchets 13 and latches 14 are adjusted so that they act on one side of the rack rail 7, ensuring that the object can only move in one direction during lifting. If slipping occurs, the mechanism can be locked immediately to avoid danger.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
