The present application relates to the field of mechanical
assembly and hoisting, in particular to a
cylinder head hoisting device and method for large low-speed diesel engines; the device comprises a main hook, a
variable stiffness joint, a lifting tool frame, four double-acting hydraulic cylinders and cross pipelines; the device connects the rodless cavities of the four hydraulic cylinders diagonally through the cross pipelines to build two closed fluid networks; the core is that when the hoisting
gravity center deviates, the eccentric load tension forces the hydraulic oil to flow spontaneously between the
diagonal hydraulic cylinders, thereby synchronously extending the equivalent sling length of the eccentric weight side and the
diagonal side, making the
diagonal line as a whole sink to maintain a horizontal posture; the present application discards the complex external
leveling mechanism, directly realizes the self-adaptive leveling of the lifting tool frame by using internal fluid physical flow, effectively overcomes the inclination problem caused by eccentric load in traditional hoisting, and provides a stable horizontal posture for
cylinder head lowering.
