The distance between the bottommost dialing tooth of the dialing plate 1 and the slide rail 9 should always be smaller than the diameter of the hook, so that the vehicle must pass through the dialing plate 1 if it wants to pass smoothly. It can be understood that the diameter of the hook described here refers to the diameter (size/thickness) of the material forming the hook itself, rather than the diameter of the arc formed by the hook structure.

It should be noted that based on the relative position shown in Figure 1, the dialing plate 1 is suspended directly above the slide rail 9, and the distance between the dialing plate 1 and the slide rail 9 is adjusted so that the two adjacent dialing plates are The gap formed between the teeth and the slide rail 9 are just enough to catch the hook of a carrier so that it will not slide down.

In a specific embodiment, the rotational connection can be formed through a deep groove ball bearing 6. Specifically, a mounting hole can be provided on the upper end plate structure of the fixed plate 7, and a bearing pressure plate 71 is provided in alignment with the mounting hole. The distance between the mounting holes is the same as the diameter of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 6, so that the deep groove ball bearing 6 can Insert it into the installation hole to complete the preliminary positioning and installation; further, an annular clamping plate 61 is clamped on the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 6. The diameter of the clamping plate 61 is larger than the installation hole, and it can be pressed to the position through the bearing pressure plate 71. On the fixed plate 7, the effect of clamping the clamping plate 61 is formed, thereby fixing the deep groove ball bearing 6 on the fixed plate 7.

A set of annular slots 23 can be provided at the rear end of the distribution shaft 21. The distance between the two slots 23 is the same as the length of the inner ring of the deep groove ball bearing 6, so that the two slots 23 can be exposed to the inner ring respectively. On both sides of the ring, two calipers 24 can be used to fix the distribution shaft 21 to the inner ring of the deep groove ball bearing 6, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the distribution shaft 21 and the fixed plate 7.

It can be understood that the opening position of the mounting hole is one of the direct factors that determine the distance between the dial plate 1 and the slide rail 9. Adjusting the opening position of the mounting hole can adjust the distance between the dial plate 1 and the slide rail 9. spacing.

In this application, there is only one-way force driving between the outer sleeve 22 of the one-way bearing 2 and the dialing shaft 21; when rotating in the reverse direction, the dialing shaft 21 is not stressed and will not rotate. Only the external The shaft sleeve 22 can realize reset.

The upper end of the bearing seat 3 is provided with a connecting plate 31. The upper end of the connecting plate 31 is drivingly connected to the output end of the driving device, so that the outer shaft sleeve 22 can be driven by the driving device and rotate at a certain angle around the distribution shaft 21 to achieve hook loading. release of tools.

Specifically, the bearing seat 3 can have a through hole corresponding to the size of the outer sleeve 22, and be sleeved on the outer sleeve 22, and an expansion/shrinkage gap can be opened at the upper end, and the tightening effect can be achieved through screws, as shown in Figures 1 and 5. Show.

In a specific embodiment, the driving device adopts a telescopic cylinder 5, and a support plate 8 is provided based on the fixed plate 7 to realize the installation of the cylinder 5.

The base of the cylinder 5 and the fixing piece 81 are rotationally connected, and the rotating shaft is connected to the splitter. The dialing shaft 21 is parallel; the telescopic shaft 51 of the cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 31, and the rotating shaft is parallel to the dialing shaft 21.

When the telescopic shaft 51 of the cylinder 5 expands/contracts, the cylinder 5 rotates downward/upward around the fixing member 81, the angle between the telescopic shaft 51 and the bearing seat 3 becomes smaller/larger, and the bearing seat 3 rotates clockwise/ Turn counterclockwise.

When the telescopic shaft 51 of the cylinder 5 reciprocates, the subdial 1 always rotates clockwise. The angle of each rotation is limited by the stroke of the cylinder 5. The stroke can be adjusted by itself to suit different sizes of the subdial 1/load. With curved hook.

Necessarily, the single driving stroke of the cylinder 5 should match the rotation angle required when the dial 1 releases a carrier, so that one reciprocating operation of the cylinder 5 can release a carrier and complete the locking of the subsequent carrier at the same time. The buckle limit means that the angle of each rotation of the dial 1 is fixed, and only the buckled carrier is released each time, and the next carrier is just blocked by the distribution teeth. The current carrier is released, and the next carrier is released. The tool is buckled.
