Single-phase hoisting machine

The utility model relates to a single-phase hoisting machine, which comprises a driving device and a hoisting machine main body connected with the driving device, wherein the driving device comprises a three-phase motor. The single-phase hoisting machine also comprises a frequency converter, wherein the input of the frequency converter is connected with a single-phase AC (alternating current) power supply; the output of the frequency converter is electrically connected with the three-phase motor; and the frequency converter converts the single-phase AC power supply into a three-phase AC power supply. As the frequency converter is adopted to convert the single-phase power supply into the three-phase power supply, so as to drive the three-phase motor to operate and make full use of excellent performances such as braking and the like of the three-phase motor; moreover, the single-phase hoisting machine has reliable performances, and can be used on an occasion free of the three-phase power supply, and has wide ap
