The invention provides a
cam limiting external fixing spiral
clutch device for lifting opening and closing of a grab ship unloader, and relates to the technical field of
bulk cargo wharf grab ship unloaders, which comprises a
pinion in clearance fit with a planetary
reducer shaft, a bull gear connected with a
cam limiting switch through a bolt, and an adjusting bolt in threaded fit with a shaft hole at the end part of the
pinion. A shaft shoulder unthreaded hole is formed in the center of the planetary
reducer shaft to limit axial movement of the adjusting bolt. The small gear is driven to slide in the axial direction by twisting the adjusting bolt so as to be meshed with or separated from the large gear, the adjusting bolt is reversely rotated before
rope replacement to enable the gear to be separated, the large gear is prevented from being driven by rotation of the small gear, and therefore the
cam limiting switch shaft is fixed; after the
rope is replaced, the gears are meshed through reverse rotation again, and connection is recovered. The device is simple in structure, realizes fixation and reconnection of the
limit switch shaft through
mechanical transmission, does not need manual disassembly,
assembly and debugging, saves manpower and
time cost, is low in
failure rate, and is suitable for the scene of replacing the steel
wire rope of the four-drum grab ship unloader.
