hook anchor shaft 15 second hook 16 is installed, second hook 16 can be along 15 rotations of the second hook anchor shaft, first limit shaft 6 is connected by the first annular hoist cable 19 with the 3rd limit shaft 17, second limit shaft 7 is connected by the second annular hoist cable 20 with the 4th limit shaft 18, the first movable limit shaft 21 is set in the first annular hoist cable 19, the first movable limit shaft, 21 two ends are along the horizontal guide slot activity of offering on the first horizontally-guided plate 22, the second movable limit shaft 23 is set in the second annular hoist cable 20, the second movable limit shaft, 23 two ends are along the horizontal guide slot activity of offering on the second horizontally-guided plate 24, the first horizontally-guided plate 22 all is connected with crossbeam 8 with the second horizontally-guided plate 24, be connected by reset tension spring 25 between the first movable limit shaft 21 and the second movable limit shaft 23, between first stay bearing plate 9 and second stay bearing plate 10 and between the 3rd stay bearing plate 11 and the 4th stay bearing plate 12 a plurality of hoist cable axis of guides be installed all.The present invention is to large-scale, when heavy wares lifts, double-plate equalizing bar 1 adopts the split mode to lift with the support type equalizing bar, suspension shaft 5 on the double-plate equalizing bar 1 is connected with the suspension hook of lifting appliance, first hoisting axis 3 on the double-plate equalizing bar 1 and second hoisting axis 4 are used for the fixing hoist cable that is hung equipment, bear the longitudinal pulling force of hoist cable, two balance plates that are parallel to each other in the double-plate equalizing bar 1 can be eliminated first hoisting axis 3 in the hoisting process, the moment of flexure that produces between second hoisting axis 4 and the suspension shaft 5, the support type equalizing bar is suspended on double-plate equalizing bar 1 below by the first annular hoist cable 19 and the second annular hoist cable 20, the first annular hoist cable 19 and the second annular hoist cable 20 can play the effect of counteracting equipment rotational force when lifting, the horizontal gripping power of the hoist cable generation of the equipment that hung is born at support type equalizing bar two ends, the hoist cable that is hung equipment is played a supportive role, dwindle the distance of being hung between equipment and the lifting appliance, compare with existing suspender, sling height when the present invention adopts the split mode to lift can increase more than 15 meters, and it is large-scale to satisfy the present overwhelming majority, the lifting demand of heavy duty industrial equipment.When to some high tower, when the higher equipment of vertical reactor equal altitudes lifts, the lifting operation of lifting appliance in finishing the equipment transportation, also need to set upright the lifting operation that carries out the equipment top in the process at equipment, and this moment, needs hang the equipment top height as much as possible, the present invention can hang over first hook 14 on first hoisting axis 3 in this case, simultaneously second hook 16 is hung on second hoisting axis 4, dwindle the distance between support type equalizing bar and the double-plate equalizing bar 1, support type equalizing bar and double-plate equalizing bar 1 are used in combination when lifting, reduce the height space that suspender self takies, compare with present existing suspender, the sling height of the present invention when adopting array mode to lift can increase more than 20 meters, be conducive to enlarge the Applicable scope of lifting appliance, as much as possible satisfy the lifting demand of more equipment.When double-plate equalizing bar 1 of the present invention lifts by array mode with the support type equalizing bar, the longitudinal stress point is still first hoisting axis 3 and second hoisting axis 4, the support type equalizing bar only bears the gripping power of cable wire horizontal direction, not comparing not variation when therefore stressing conditions lifts with employing split mode, only is that the effect of counteracting equipment rotation when lifting decreases.When double-plate equalizing bar 1 adopts the split mode to lift with the support type equalizing bar, the first movable limit shaft 21 is positioned at the position near the 3rd limit shaft 17 under the horizontal force action of the first annular hoist cable 19, the second movable limit shaft 23 is displaced downwardly to position near the 4th limit shaft 18 at the horizontal force action of the second annular hoist cable 20, this moment, reset tension spring 25 was stretched, when lifting operation is finished, being hung equipment drops down onto ground, the gripping power of support type equalizing bar two ends hoist cable disappears, the first movable limit shaft 21 and the second movable limit shaft 23 are mobile in opposite directions under the pulling force effect of reset tension spring 25, by tightening the first annular hoist cable 19 and the second annular hoist cable 20 is promoted to the support type equalizing bar position that fits tightly with double-plate equalizing bar 1 automatically, the present invention adopt said structure can prevent suspender aloft in the moving process support type equalizing bar and double-plate equalizing bar 1 aloft swing because a minute body structure causes the support type equalizing bar, life security to the lifting operator constitutes a threat to, stability when being conducive to improve suspender and aloft moving eliminates safe hidden trouble.
The present invention makes the hoist cable of the equipment that hung move towards smooth and easy, can adopt following structure: the described hoist cable axis of guide has first axis of guide 26, second axis of guide 27, the 3rd axis of guide 28 and the 4th axis of guide 29, first axis of guide 26 and second axis of guide 27 lay respectively at support type equalizing bar two ends, the 3rd axis of guide 28 is positioned at first axis of guide, 26 belows, and the 4th axis of guide 29 is positioned at second axis of guide, 27 belows.This structure can effectively prevent from interfering or twining between the bifilar hoist cable, guarantees that hoist cable moves towards smooth and easy.
The present invention is in order to improve the convenience of hoist cable fixing operation when small-sized, the light equipment of lifting, can near the side that a side of crossbeams 8 arrange first interim hoisting axis 30, the four axis of guides 29 close crossbeams 8 the second interim hoisting axis 31 be set at the 3rd axis of guide 28.When less or weight is light when the size of being hung equipment, can adopt array mode to use support type equalizing bar and double-plate equalizing bar 1, directly hoist cable is fixed on the first interim hoisting axis 30 and the second interim hoisting axis 31 simultaneously, simplifies the step of hoist cable fixing operation.
The present invention can all install two groups of pulleys 32 for reducing hoist cable and the friction force between each on first hoisting axis 3, second hoisting axis 4, first limit shaft 6, second limit shaft 7, the 3rd limit shaft 17, the 4th limit shaft 18, the first movable limit shaft 21, the second movable limit shaft 23 and each hoist cable axis of guide.
The present invention is in order further to reduce the height space that suspender self takies, and can adopt following structure: the distance L 1 between two balance plates of double-plate equalizing bar 1 is greater than the maximum width L2 of support type equalizing bar.Overlapping in the horizontal direction when this structure can make double-plate equalizing bar 1 and support type equalizing bar adopt the array mode lifting, further reduce the height space that suspender self takies.
