The utility model relates to the technical field of steel structure
machining, in particular to a rotating support for an H-shaped steel workpiece, which comprises a base, a rotating support, a rotating wheel, a connecting plate, a rotating support, a rotating rod, a stiffening plate, a
handle, a
brake rod and a
brake spring. The bottom plate and the two vertical
backup plates are combined to form a rotating support of a U-shaped structure, the rotating wheel is installed on the rotating support, the
brake rods are located on the two sides outside the vertical
backup plates respectively, the brake springs are located on the outer walls, close to the sides of the vertical
backup plates, of the tops of the brake rods, the brake springs are conical springs, and the wide ends of the brake springs are fixed to the brake rods. The narrow end of the brake spring makes contact with the rotating rod but is not fixed. By arranging the U-shaped overturning frame, rapid overturning of the workpiece can be achieved, stability and safety of the workpiece in the overturning process can be guaranteed, and damage to a travelling crane caused by sudden falling of the workpiece due to loss of the
gravity center is also avoided.
