[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Exemplary crane trolley rope changing method

[0033] The present application provides a crane trolley rope changing method, which is applied to the process of replacing the steel wire rope of a crane trolley without a balancing pulley. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 as well as Fig.14 As shown, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the crane trolley rope changing method comprises the steps of:

[0034] Step 101: Control the crane to switch to a rope-changing mode.

[0035] When this step is executed, some limit functions of the crane can be turned off, and the working stroke of some mechanisms of the crane can be increased to facilitate subsequent rope changing work.

[0036] Step 102, controlling the trolley drum 4 to rotate until the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 located on the first side of the trolley drum 4 can be removed from the trolley drum.

[0037] In this step, the trolley drum 4 is controlled to rotate until only a few rope compression loops are left on the trolley drum 4, so that the first old rope head end and the second old rope head end fixed on the trolley drum 4 can be removed, and the first old rope end and the second old rope end remain fixed on the trolley drum 4, so that the first new steel wire rope 5 and the second new steel wire rope 6 can be pulled into the machine room 3.

[0038] Step 103 , pull the first new rope head end of the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new rope head end of the second new steel wire rope 20 into the machine room 3 .

[0039] In this step, the maintenance crane 70 in the machine room 3 can be controlled, the hook 71 of the maintenance crane 70 can be lowered, the hook can be connected to the first new steel wire rope 19 and / or the second new steel wire rope 20, and then the hook 71 of the maintenance crane 70 can be lifted to pull the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 into the machine room 3.

[0040] Step 104, connect the first new rope head end of the first new steel wire rope and the second new rope head end of the second new steel wire rope to the removed first old rope head end and second old rope head end respectively to form a first new-old rope joint 21 and a second new-old rope joint 22.

[0041] In this step, the new steel wire rope and the old steel wire rope can be connected together by welding, clamping, bundling, etc.

[0042] Step 105 , control the clamp assembly 9 on the trolley 2 to switch to a released state.

[0043] The present application is applied to a trolley 2 without a balancing pulley, and the wire rope is connected to the trolley 2 through a clamp assembly 9, which is used to clamp the first old wire rope 5 and the second old wire rope 6, so that the wire rope can drive the trolley 2 to perform translational movement.

[0044] Step 106, control the trolley drum 4 to reel in the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 on the second side until the first new-old rope joint 21 and the second new-old rope joint 22 leave the machine room 3 and re-enter the machine room 3.

[0045] In this step, the second side and the first side are the opposite sides of the trolley drum 4. The first old-new rope joint 21 and the second old-new rope joint 22 leave the machine room 3 and enter the pulley working system, thereby gradually bringing the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 into the pulley working system. When the first old-new rope joint 21 and the second old-new rope joint 22 enter the machine room 3 again, all the steel wire ropes in the pulley working system are replaced by the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20, and the first old steel wire rope 21 and the second old steel wire rope 22 are basically all wound on the trolley drum 4.

[0046] Step 107, disconnect the first old-new rope joint 21 and the second old-new rope joint 22, and fix the disconnected first new rope head end and the second new rope head end.

[0047] In this step, the new steel wire rope and the old steel wire rope connected to each other are disconnected, and the disconnected first new rope head end and the second new rope head end are fixed to prevent the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 from escaping from the machine room 3 or even from the pulley working system. In this step, a fixing ear plate 18 can be used to fix the disconnected first new rope head end and the second new rope head end.

[0048] Step 109 , fix the first and second new rope head ends on the trolley drum 4 .

[0049] Step 110 , control the trolley drum 4 to reel in the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 until the first new rope end of the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new rope end of the second new steel wire rope 20 enter the machine room 3 .

[0050] Step 111 , fix the first new rope end and the second new rope end on the trolley drum 4 .

[0051] In this step, the rope changing work is completed by connecting the first new rope end and the second new rope end to the trolley drum 4. Subsequently, the clamp assembly 9 on the trolley 2 can be controlled to switch to a clamping state, and the tightness of the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 can also be adjusted.

[0052] When this embodiment is in use, the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 can be brought into the machine room 3 through the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6, and the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 are wound up after the new and old steel wire ropes are connected so that the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 enter the pulley working system, so that the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 are completely released from the pulley working system and wound on the trolley drum 4. Then the trolley drum 4 is controlled to release the rope to release the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6, and then the first new steel wire rope 19 and the second new steel wire rope 20 are completely wound into the machine room 3 and fixed on the trolley drum 4 to complete the rope change. The whole process is simple and quick to operate, and no additional special rope changing equipment is required.

[0053] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, step 101 includes:

[0054] Step 1011, turn off the limit function, overspeed control function and circle number calculation function of the trolley drum.

[0055] In this embodiment, turning off the limit function of the trolley drum can make the trolley drum unwind more turns, thereby exposing the fixing point of the old wire rope on the trolley drum, so as to facilitate the removal of the old wire rope. Turning off the overspeed control function of the trolley drum can make the trolley drum unwind at a faster speed, thereby speeding up the rope replacement. Turning off the number of turns calculation function of the trolley drum can avoid counting the number of turns generated during the rope replacement process into the statistical data of the crane's working parameters.

[0056] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in one embodiment, a first rope-changing hole 10 that can be opened and closed is provided at the bottom of the machine room 3 .

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, step 103 includes:

[0058] Step 1031 , open the first rope-changing hole 10 , and install the first rope-changing pulley block 14 at the first rope-changing hole 10 .

[0059] Step 1032 , control the hook 71 of the maintenance crane 70 in the machine room 3 to pass through the first rope-changing hole 10 and bypass the first rope-changing pulley block 14 .

[0060] Step 1033 , control the hook 71 to descend until the first end of the first new rope can be connected to the hook 71 .

[0061] Step 1034 , control the hook 71 to rise to pull the first end of the new rope into the machine room 3 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the first rope-changing hole 10 can be used to facilitate pulling the first end of the first new rope into the machine room 3. The first rope-changing pulley block 14 can make the first new steel wire rope 19 smoother in the process of entering the machine room 3, and will not cause friction and damage to the first new steel wire rope 19 and the first rope-changing hole 10. When the rope does not need to be changed, the first rope-changing hole 10 can be closed without affecting the normal operation of the machine room 3.

[0063] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. Fig.13 As shown, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, step 103 also includes:

[0064] Step 1035 , dispose the first new rope drum 23 wound with the first new steel wire rope 19 below the first rope-changing hole 10 .

[0065] Step 1036: align the midpoint of the length direction of the winding axis of the first new rope reel 23 with the plumb line where the geometric center of the first rope-changing hole 10 is located.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first new rope drum 23 located below the first rope-changing hole 10 allows the first new steel wire rope 19 to vertically pass through the first rope-changing hole 10 into the machine room, reducing the space occupancy rate of the first new steel wire rope 19 during its travel. In addition, the first new rope drum 23 and the first rope-changing hole 10 that are aligned with each other can only generate an upward pulling force on the first new rope drum 23 during the process of the first new steel wire rope 19 entering the first rope-changing hole 10, and will not cause the first new rope drum 23 to move sideways or have a tendency to move sideways, that is, after being aligned with each other, the first new rope drum 23 can be made more stable when releasing the rope.

[0067] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in one embodiment, the trolley 2 and the pulley system driving the trolley 2 are both located below the horizontal plane of the bottom of the machine room 3. That is, after the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 on the trolley drum 4 are led out, they extend to the pulley system below the machine room 3 to drive the trolley 2 located below the machine room 3 to move horizontally.

[0068] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, step 104 includes:

[0069] Step 1041, setting the first guide pulley 12, and making the horizontal height of the first guide pulley 12 higher than the horizontal height of the first rope-changing pulley group 14 and the horizontal height of the trolley drum 4.

[0070] In this step, the horizontal height of the lowest edge of the first guide pulley 12 is higher than the horizontal height of the highest edge of the first rope-changing pulley group 14, and higher than the horizontal height of the highest edge of the trolley drum 4.

[0071] Step 1042 , setting a third guide pulley 16 , and making the level of the third guide pulley 16 lower than the level of the bottom of the machine room 3 .

[0072] In this step, the level of the highest edge of the third guide pulley 16 is lower than the level of the bottom of the machine room 3 .

[0073] Step 1043, connect the first end of the new rope and the first end of the old rope to each other, and make the connected rope body pass through the first rope changing pulley group 14, the first guide pulley 12 and the third guide pulley 16 in sequence.

[0074] In this embodiment, since the first rope-changing hole 10 is located at the bottom of the machine room 3, and the pulley system of the driving trolley 2 is located below the machine room 3. If the first new steel wire rope 19 passes through the first rope-changing hole 10 and is directly connected to the first old steel wire rope 5 and enters the pulley system of the trolley 2, friction interference will occur with many structures. The first guide pulley 12 allows the first new steel wire rope 19 to extend upward after entering the machine room 3. The third guide pulley 16 located below the machine room 3 allows the first new steel wire rope 19 to be located below the machine room 3 at the turning point of the third guide pulley 16, so that the first new steel wire rope 19 extends downward after passing through the first guide pulley 12, and then enters the steel wire rope pulley system of the trolley 2 without interference. In this embodiment, the first guide pulley 12 and the third guide pulley 16 are used to improve the routing flexibility of the first new steel wire rope 19 in the machine room 3, avoid wear of the first new steel wire rope 19 and avoid wear of some mechanisms in the machine room 3.

[0075] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Fig.13 In one embodiment, a second rope-changing hole 11 which can be opened and closed is provided at the bottom of the machine room.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, step 103 includes:

[0077] Step 1037 , open the second rope-changing hole 11 , and install the second rope-changing pulley block 15 at the second rope-changing hole 11 .

[0078] Step 1038, control the hook of the maintenance crane in the machine room to pass through the second rope-changing hole 11 and bypass the second rope-changing pulley block 15.

[0079] Step 1039, control the hook to descend until the first end of the second new rope can be connected to the hook.

[0080] Step 10391, control the hook to rise to pull the first end of the second new rope into the machine room.

[0081] In this embodiment, the second rope-changing hole 11 can be used to facilitate pulling the head end of the second new rope into the machine room. The second rope-changing pulley block 15 can make the second new steel wire rope 20 smoother in the process of entering the machine room, and will not cause friction and damage to the second new steel wire rope 20 and the second rope-changing hole 11. When the rope does not need to be changed, the second rope-changing hole 11 can be closed without affecting the normal operation of the machine room.

[0082] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Fig.13 As shown, in one embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, step 103 also includes:

[0083] Step 10392: place the second new rope reel 24 wound with the second new steel wire rope 20 below the second rope changing hole 11.

[0084] Step 10393, align the midpoint of the length direction of the reel of the second new rope reel 24 with the plumb line where the geometric center of the second rope-changing hole 11 is located.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second new rope drum 24 located below the second rope-changing hole 11 allows the second new steel wire rope 20 to vertically pass through the second rope-changing hole 11 into the machine room, reducing the space occupancy rate of the second new steel wire rope 20 during its travel. In addition, the second new rope drum 24 and the second rope-changing hole 11 aligned with each other can only generate an upward pulling force on the second new rope drum 24 during the process of the second new steel wire rope 20 entering the second rope-changing hole 11, and will not cause the second new rope drum 24 to move sideways or have a tendency to move sideways, that is, after being aligned with each other, the second new rope drum 24 can be more stable when releasing the rope.

[0086] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of a crane trolley rope changing method provided by another embodiment of the present application. Fig.13As shown, in one embodiment, the trolley 2 and the pulley system driving the trolley 2 are both located below the horizontal plane of the bottom of the machine room. That is, after the first old steel wire rope 5 and the second old steel wire rope 6 on the trolley drum 4 are led out, they extend to the pulley system below the machine room to drive the trolley 2 located below the machine room to translate.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, step 104 includes:

[0088] Step 1044, setting the second guide pulley 13, and making the horizontal height of the second guide pulley 13 higher than the horizontal height of the second rope-changing pulley group 15 and the horizontal height of the trolley drum 4.

[0089] In this step, the level of the lowest edge of the second guide pulley 13 is higher than the level of the highest edge of the second rope-changing pulley block 15 , and higher than the level of the highest edge of the trolley drum 4 .

[0090] Step 1045: Set the fourth guide pulley 17 so that the level of the fourth guide pulley 17 is lower than the level of the bottom of the machine room.

[0091] In this step, the level of the highest edge of the fourth guide pulley 17 is lower than the level of the bottom of the machine room.

[0092] Step 1046, connect the first end of the second new rope and the first end of the second old rope to each other, and make the connected rope body pass around the second rope changing pulley group 15, the second guide pulley 13 and the fourth guide pulley 17 in sequence.

[0093] In this embodiment, since the second rope-changing hole 11 is located at the bottom of the machine room, and the pulley system driving the trolley 2 is located below the machine room. If the second new steel wire rope 20 passes through the second rope-changing hole 11 and is directly connected to the second old steel wire rope and enters the pulley system of the trolley, friction interference will occur with many structures. The second guide pulley 13 allows the second new steel wire rope 20 to extend upward after entering the machine room. The fourth guide pulley 17 located below the machine room allows the second new steel wire rope 20 to be located below the machine room at the turning point of the fourth guide pulley 17, so that the second new steel wire rope 20 extends downward after passing through the second guide pulley 13, and then enters the steel wire rope pulley system of the trolley 2 without interference. In this embodiment, the second guide pulley 13 and the fourth guide pulley 17 are used to improve the routing flexibility of the second new steel wire rope 20 in the machine room, avoid wear of the second new steel wire rope 20, and avoid wear of some mechanisms in the machine room.

[0094] Fig. 9The figure shows a method step diagram of a crane trolley rope replacement method provided by another embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, a switchable old rope release hole is provided at the bottom of the machine room, wherein the number of the old rope release holes can be one or more.

[0095] After step 107, the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope are basically all wound on the trolley drum, and after the first and second new rope ends are fixed, the old rope release process is performed to empty the trolley drum, and step 109 is performed after the old rope release process is completed. Fig. 9 As shown, the old rope release process includes:

[0096] Step 1081, open the old rope releasing hole, and install the old rope releasing pulley block at the old rope releasing hole.

[0097] Step 1082, pass the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope through the old rope releasing hole, pass around the old rope releasing pulley group, and then extend out of the machine room.

[0098] In this step, when the number of the old rope release holes is one, the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope are passed through the single old rope release hole. When the number of the old rope release holes is two, the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope are passed through one old rope release hole respectively, and the two old rope release holes can directly use the aforementioned first rope change hole and second rope change hole, and the old rope release pulley block can directly use the aforementioned first rope change pulley block and second rope change pulley block.

[0099] Step 1083, set an old rope frame below the old rope hole.

[0100] Step 1084, control the trolley drum to release the rope, so as to gradually put the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope into the old rope frame.

[0101] Step 1085, control the trolley drum to release the rope until the first old steel wire rope and the second old steel wire rope connected to the trolley drum can be removed.

[0102] Step 1086: Connect the removed first old rope end or the second old rope end to the hook of the maintenance crane in the machine room.

[0103] Step 1087, control the hook to pass through the old rope releasing hole and bypass the old rope releasing pulley group.

[0104] Step 1088, control the hook to descend to place the first old rope end or the second old rope end into the old rope frame.

[0105] In this embodiment, the first old rope and the second old rope can be easily released from the machine room through the old rope release hole. When the trolley drum releases the rope, the first old rope and the second old rope gradually fall down under the action of gravity. The old rope release pulley block can make the first old rope and the second old rope smoother in the process of releasing the rope from the machine room, and will not cause friction and damage to the first old rope, the second old rope and the old rope release hole. When it is not necessary to change the rope, the old rope release hole can be closed without affecting the normal operation of the machine room.
