AUTOMATED REMOTE-CONTROLLED LIFTING HOOK Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B66C1/34 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for loading and unloading operations, namely to the field of load-handling devices. The lifting hook contains a body of a means of moving the transported load, insulated from aggressive environments and including side and front panels, as well as a top cover on which a unified lug is fixed; on the lower side of the body there is a rotating hook, on which a mechanism for fixing the load in the rotating hook is fixed. A light sight and a video camera are integrated into the housing, ensuring precise guidance of the hook to the load, as well as end position sensors that control the rotation of the rotary hook in the housing. The housing contains a gear motor, which is a combination of an electric motor and a worm gear, to which a rotating hook and an electronics unit are attached by means of a shaft for rotation in a plane perpendicular to the shaft, and an electronics unit that is connected to the power elements of the hook, namely to its walls. In the body of the device, there is additionally a security system containing a safety lock that prevents the cargo fastenings from falling out of the fastening area, while the hook is designed with the possibility of preliminary fixation of the cargo fastening elements by means of a magnet and with the possibility of positioning the cargo fastening elements relative to the hook; the device also includes an electrical source power supply connected to all energy-consuming elements of the device, and a remote control that uniquely corresponds to the controls of the rotary hook, and the outputs/inputs of the control panel are connected via Bluetooth and the LoRac radio channel to the inputs/outputs of the hook control system.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of loading and unloading operations and optimization of production processes.
