Although electric hoists and robots have similarities in some aspects, such as being able to perform tasks such as lifting and handling, they have significant differences in design and use, so electric hoists cannot be simply regarded as robots that can work continuously. The following is a detailed analysis of this issue:

1、 Characteristics and limitations of electric hoists

Structure and Design:

Electric hoists usually have the characteristics of compact structure, light weight, small volume, easy operation, and easy maintenance.

They can be installed separately on overhead I-beams, or installed in conjunction with electric or manual single beam, double beam, cantilever, gantry and other cranes.

working principle:

Electric hoists are driven by motors to achieve lifting and handling functions. During the working process, the motor will continue to rotate, generating heat.

Usage restrictions:

Heat management: Long term continuous operation can cause the motor to heat up. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the motor may become hot or even burned out. Therefore, electric hoists need to take regular breaks to dissipate heat.

Wear and maintenance: Long term continuous work can accelerate the wear of internal parts of the electric hoist, especially when the lubricating oil is reduced, which can lead to increased friction between parts. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly apply lubricating oil and check the wear of the parts.

Safety considerations: As a lifting equipment, the safety of electric hoists is crucial. Long term continuous work may increase the risk of malfunctions and accidents, so it is necessary to arrange work and rest time reasonably.

2、 Characteristics and advantages of robots

High precision and high efficiency:

Robots usually have the characteristics of high precision and efficiency, and can perform precise tasks according to preset programs and paths.

Continuous work ability:

The robot design has a comprehensive cooling system and energy management system, which can work continuously for a long time without being affected by heat accumulation.

Intelligence and automation:

Robots are capable of autonomously perceiving the environment, recognizing objects, and making decisions and executing them, with a high level of intelligence and automation.

3、 Comparison between electric hoists and robots

Functional positioning:

Electric hoist is mainly used for lifting and transporting heavy objects, and is a type of lifting equipment.

Robots have a wider range of applications, including but not limited to industrial production, logistics and distribution, medical services, and other fields.

working ability:

Although electric hoists can complete lifting and handling tasks, they are limited by factors such as heat management, wear and maintenance, and cannot work continuously for long periods of time.

Robots have stronger continuous working ability and higher work efficiency.

Intelligence level:

The intelligence level of electric hoists is relatively low, mainly relying on manual operation and monitoring.

Robots have a high level of intelligence and can autonomously complete complex homework tasks.
