Improvement of the design of the anti-drop device of the portal crane hook and improvement of its safety performance

Publish Time: 2024-12-03
During the operation of portal crane, the hook anti-slip device plays a key role in preventing the hanging objects from falling. The rationality of its design and the reliability of its performance are directly related to the safety of the operation.

First of all, the existing hook anti-slip device has certain limitations. The traditional hook anti-slip pawl structure can prevent the sling from falling out to a certain extent, but after long-term and frequent use, the pawl may fail to prevent the anti-slip function due to wear and deformation. For example, when lifting heavy objects with shaking, the collision wear between the pawl and the hook opening is aggravated, reducing its effective blocking ability for the sling. In addition, some anti-slip devices are prone to jamming in complex working conditions, such as in dusty and humid environments, affecting normal operation.

In view of these problems, it is imperative to improve the structure of the hook anti-slip device. On the one hand, a new type of elastic anti-slip mechanism can be adopted. By combining a high-strength spring with a specially shaped stopper, when the sling is correctly placed in the hook, the spring is in a moderately compressed state, and the stopper fits tightly to the inner wall of the hook under the action of the spring force, effectively preventing the sling from accidentally slipping out. At the same time, the structure can be designed to be self-cleaning, using the spring's telescopic action to shake off dust and other impurities to reduce the risk of jamming. On the other hand, add multiple locking mechanisms to the anti-slip device. For example, in addition to the main anti-slip pawl, a set of electromagnetic locking devices is set up. When the crane is powered on and in normal working condition, the electromagnetic force remains locked, further enhancing the reliability of anti-slip. Even if the main pawl fails, the electromagnetic locking can play a key protective role.

In terms of material selection, it is also necessary to focus on improving the performance of the anti-slip device. The use of high-strength, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials to make anti-slip components, such as nickel-based alloys or special stainless steel materials, can significantly improve their service life and reliability in harsh environments. This material can not only withstand frequent mechanical shocks and friction, but also effectively resist the erosion of corrosive substances such as moisture, acid and alkali, ensuring the long-term and stable operation of the anti-slip device.

Finally, regular inspection and maintenance are essential for the safety performance of the hook anti-slip device. Establish a complete inspection system. Before each operation, the operator should conduct an appearance inspection of the anti-slip device to check for deformation, damage or foreign matter jamming. Professional maintenance personnel are regularly arranged to conduct comprehensive inspections on the anti-dropping device, including spring elasticity tests, electromagnetic device performance checks, etc., and worn or damaged parts are replaced in a timely manner. Through strict inspection and maintenance, potential problems can be discovered and solved in a timely manner to ensure that the hook anti-dropping device is always in good working condition, thereby effectively improving the overall safety performance of the portal crane.
