DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] The slewing bearing of a tower crane comprises a positioning base 1, a receiving cavity 2 is arranged inside the positioning base 1, an outer support 3 and an inner support 4 are arranged inside the receiving cavity 2, the outer wall of the outer support 3 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2, a first annular groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the outer support 3, a plurality of groups of balls 6 are arranged in an annular array inside the first annular groove 5, a countersunk groove 7 is provided on the top of the outer support 3, an oil storage cavity 8 is provided on the outer support 3 below the countersunk groove 7, an oil absorbing sponge 9 is arranged inside the oil storage cavity 8, an oil delivery groove 10 is provided on one side of the oil storage cavity 8, and the oil delivery groove 10 is communicated with the inside of the first annular groove 5.

[0027] The utility model provides a countersunk groove 7 at the top of the outer support 3, and an oil storage chamber 8 is provided below the countersunk groove 7. The staff can add lubricating oil to the inside of the oil storage chamber 8, and the lubricating oil can enter the inside of the first annular groove 5 through the oil delivery groove 10, so as to lubricate the plurality of groups of balls 6. The oil-absorbing sponge 9 is provided inside the oil storage chamber 8, so that the lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber 8 can be absorbed to avoid excessive volatilization. In actual use, it is convenient to lubricate the inside of the slewing bearing, which is convenient for maintenance and effectively reduces wear.

[0028] The outer wall of the inner support 4 is provided with a second annular groove 14 corresponding to a plurality of groups of balls 6. One side of the plurality of groups of balls 6 is arranged inside the second annular groove 14. By setting the first annular groove 5, the second annular groove 14 and the plurality of groups of balls 6 for coordinated use, the balls 6 roll in the first annular groove 5 and the second annular groove 14, forming an effective rolling contact, which greatly reduces the friction coefficient of the contact surface, making the tower crane more stable and smooth during operation. At the same time, the uniform distribution of the balls enables the slewing bearing to withstand greater radial and axial forces, thereby improving the stability and safety of the entire tower crane. In addition, this design also helps to extend the service life of the slewing bearing. The balls 6 roll in the groove, making the wear of the contact surface more uniform, avoiding failures caused by local excessive wear. In addition, the rolling motion of the balls 6 also helps to dissipate heat, reducing the heat generated by the slewing bearing during operation, and further reducing the possibility of thermal deformation and thermal cracking.

[0029] An annular plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer support 3, and an annular positioning groove 16 is opened on the inner wall of the annular plate 15. A reinforcing member 17 is arranged inside the annular positioning groove 16. The reinforcing member 17 includes a plurality of groups of reinforcing rods 1701, one end of each of the plurality of groups of reinforcing rods 1701 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner support 4, and the plurality of groups of reinforcing rods 1701 are arranged in an annular array, and the other ends of the plurality of groups of reinforcing rods 1701 are rotatably installed with rollers 1702, the outer diameters of the plurality of groups of rollers 1702 are adapted to the height of the annular positioning groove 16, and the plurality of groups of rollers 1702 are rotatably connected to the inside of the annular positioning groove 16;

[0030] In the above case, by setting the annular plate 15, the annular positioning groove 16, the reinforcing rod 1701 and the roller 1702 for coordinated use, the design of the annular plate 15 and the annular positioning groove 16 ensures the precise positioning and stable installation of the slewing bearing. The annular plate 15 can provide additional support area to enhance the stability and rigidity of the entire slewing bearing structure. The annular positioning groove 16 can accurately guide the movement trajectory of the roller 1702 to prevent it from deflecting or shaking, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the tower crane during operation. Secondly, the setting of the reinforcing rod 1701 further enhances the strength and carrying capacity of the slewing bearing, which can not only resist the effects of external loads and forces and prevent the slewing bearing from being deformed or damaged during operation, but also improve the stability and safety of the entire tower crane.

[0031] Four groups of fixing seats 18 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning base 1, and two groups of positioning holes 19 are respectively opened at the bottom of the four groups of fixing seats 18. By setting the fixing seats 18 and the positioning holes 19, the positioning base 1 and the fixing seats 18 can ensure the stable installation and positioning of the slewing bearing. The positioning base 1 provides a stable support platform for the slewing bearing, and the fixing seats 18 are tightly matched with the positioning base 1 to firmly fix the slewing bearing on the structure of the tower crane. This design can effectively prevent the slewing bearing from shifting or shaking during operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the crane. The positioning holes 19 can be accurately aligned with the fixing seats 18 or other connecting parts, making the installation process simpler and faster. At the same time, the positioning holes 19 can also ensure the accurate connection between the slewing bearing and other parts of the tower crane, thereby improving the collaborative working effect of the entire device;
