There is an ancient saying that goes, 'A single thread cannot form a thread, and a single tree cannot form a forest.' The reason why a chain hoist can exert such great power is inseparable from its multiple components. It's hard to imagine that such a small thing has as many as 70 components on it. Next, I will introduce to you a very important component of a chain hoist - the braking system.

The braking system sounds easy to understand. The braking systems of cars and trams both play extremely important roles in their respective fields, safeguarding people's travel safety. The braking system of the chain hoist is also an indispensable part of the entire system. Its braking system mainly consists of friction plates, claws, and ratchet wheels. When the operator pulls the chain, the chain rotates clockwise and the hand sprocket rotates. The two friction plates and ratchet wheel form a compression, and the braking system has started to work. Under the force of the load, the ratchet wheel in the braking system begins to rotate counterclockwise, and the two friction plates begin to open. At the same time, the pawl begins to work, and the pawl meshes with the ratchet wheel, thus achieving the braking effect. It is precisely with this small link that the staff can complete their tasks more safely.

The braking system plays a crucial role in the entire operation of the chain block, so it is necessary to conduct a brake system inspection before using the chain block. If there are foreign objects such as gravel on the surface of the ratchet, it will accelerate the wear of the friction plate, and over time, the braking system will malfunction. The breakage of the ratchet teeth will directly affect the inability of the pawl to bite into it, and this situation is even worse. In severe cases, it can directly cause heavy objects to fall, posing a threat to the lives of workers. So the inspection and maintenance of the opponent's hoist brake system is a responsibility to oneself and also to others.

Although a sparrow is small, it has all five organs, and none of them are indispensable. The braking system, as an important part of the entire system, requires proper inspection and maintenance in order to make operations more efficient and safe.
