The present invention belongs to the field of
building construction technology, and particularly relates to a
tower crane hopper and a method of using the same, with the purpose of solving the problem that the traditional frame
tower crane hopper needs to be frequently replaced in the face of different materials. It includes an inverted right-angle trapezoidal hopper body, whose front end is an arc surface, whose bottom plate is an open fan, and whose front end is connected to the bottom plate through a rotating shaft. A pair of first
wire rope hooks are provided at the upper opening of the hopper body just above the rotating shaft, a pair of second
wire rope hooks are provided on the upper side of the back plate of the hopper body, a pair of third
wire rope hooks are provided on the lower side of the back plate, and a pair of fourth wire
rope hooks are provided at one end of the bottom plate away from the front arc surface. When lifting, the first, second and fourth wire
rope hooks are started at the same time; when unloading, the first wire
rope hook can be loosened to complete the material unloading from the front arc surface; the fourth wire rope hook can also be loosened, and the first, second and third wire rope hooks can be lifted at the same time to complete the material unloading from the bottom plate.
