However, the complex structural design, strict precision requirements and interlocking assembly relationship of this type of ship unloader increase the complexity and safety risks of the final assembly. Among them, the installation of the counterweight is a very critical step in the final assembly process of the chain bucket unloader. The installation of the counterweight is the key to the success of the final assembly of the whole machine. The conventional counterweight assembly has no angle with the horizontal plane. The counterweight form of this project is different from the conventional continuous ship unloader counterweight design and assembly form. This counterweight assembly is at an angle of about 38° with the horizontal plane. Figure 1 As shown, the design form is unique.

[0044] Figure 2 A flow chart showing a method for hoisting a counterweight according to the present invention is shown; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the installation position of the anti-wear block of the present invention is shown.

[0045] The installation of the chain bucket continuous ship unloader counterweight is an important installation step in the chain bucket unloader assembly process;

[0046] A method for hoisting a counterweight is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0047] S1. Install anti-wear blocks 3 on the contact surface between the counterweight 1 and the counterweight beam 2;

[0048] S1 includes the following steps:

[0049] S11. Complete pre-processing tooling in the counterweight beam workshop;

[0050] Wherein S11 comprises the following steps:

[0051] S111 counterweight beam workshop production, pre-treatment tooling includes the following specific aspects: First, the bottom plate of the anti-wear block 3 is installed on the inner web of the counterweight beam box 2;

[0052] S112. Then pre-process the threaded holes on the bottom plate of the anti-wear block 3.

[0053] S12. The anti-wear block 3 is installed on the contact surface between the counterweight 1 and the counterweight beam 2. Figure 3 As shown, since the friction coefficient of the anti-wear block 3 is relatively small, the anti-wear block 3 can effectively reduce the friction between the counterweight block and the counterweight beam box during installation, making it easier for the counterweight 1 to slide smoothly into the installation position, avoiding large-scale damage to the paint caused by friction between the boxes, reducing paint damage, and reducing the risk of high-altitude painting operations.

[0054] S13. Complete the fixed installation of the anti-wear block 3.

[0055] Wherein S13 comprises the following steps:

[0056] S131. The counterweight beam 2 is completed in the counterweight beam workshop coating process;

[0057] S132. Use bolts to connect with the threaded holes and use bolts to fix the anti-wear block 3 in place.

[0058] The smooth installation of the anti-wear block 3 increases the contact area between the counterweight 1 and the counterweight beam 2, meets the installation force requirements of the counterweight 1, effectively reduces the friction between the counterweight block and the box of the counterweight beam 2, facilitates the smooth introduction of the counterweight 1 into a safe position, avoids large-scale damage to the paint caused by friction between the boxes, and reduces the risk of high-altitude painting operations.

[0059] S2. Design of lifting lug 4, one side of the lifting lug 4 is designed at the center of gravity of the counterweight lifting;

[0060] S2 includes the following steps:

[0061] S21. Locate the center of gravity of the counterweight and design the lifting lugs 4 for lifting. The total number of lifting lugs 4 is 2.

[0062] The center of gravity of the counterweight is mainly found through detailed drawings. First, the center of gravity position of each part is calculated separately, then the center of gravity position of the assembly is calculated, and finally the center of gravity position of the overall counterweight is combined.

[0063] S22. Hoist according to the final assembly installation state. Design one of the lifting lugs 4 on the counterweight 1 to be aligned with the component counterweight's center of gravity 7. This design facilitates transferring the majority of the hoisting weight to one lifting lug, minimizing the error between the counterweight's hoisting angle and the assembly angle. After designing the lifting lug 4, hoist according to the final assembly installation state.

[0064] Figure 4 Shows a schematic diagram of the installation of a counterweight hoisting rigging configured with the present invention; Figure 5a A schematic diagram showing a counterweight hoisting state 1 of the present invention is shown; Figure 5b A schematic diagram showing a second state of counterweight hoisting of the present invention is shown; Figure 5c A schematic diagram showing the third counterweight hoisting state of the present invention is shown.

[0066] S31. Configure counterweight lifting rigging;

[0067] Wherein S31 comprises the following steps:

[0068] S311. When installing the counterweight, it is necessary to configure the counterweight lifting rigging. The configuration of the counterweight lifting rigging is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, first, steel wire ropes 5 of different lengths are configured on the sea side and the land side respectively, wherein the steel wire rope on the sea side is longer than the steel wire rope on the land side. When configuring the counterweight lifting rigging, the hook head 8 hooks the steel wire rope on the sea side to lift the counterweight 1.

[0069] S312. In addition, a hand chain hoist 6 capable of adjusting the length of the wire rope 5 is added to the sea side, and the angle of the counterweight 1 is easily adjusted by the hand chain hoist 6, according to Figure 4 It is suggested to configure counterweight lifting rigging. By configuring counterweight lifting rigging, the labor intensity of construction workers can be reduced, production efficiency can be improved, and the safety risks of construction can be reduced.

[0070] S32. Measure the angle of the counterweight beam in advance to facilitate subsequent adjustment of the hoisting state of the counterweight 1.

[0071] S33. Adjust the counterweight by lifting rigging. Figure 5a 、 Figure 5b and Figure 5c shown.

[0072] Wherein S33 comprises the following steps:

[0073] S331. Adjust the angle of the counterweight beam 2 by the hand hoist 6, so that the counterweight beam 1 is in different angles, 5a, Figure 5b and Figure 5c These respectively represent three different hoisting states of the counterweight 1 when the counterweight beam 1 is at three different angles.

[0074] S332. Adjust the hoisting status of counterweight 1 until counterweight 1 is installed in place.

[0075] Through the smooth implementation of the above technical solution, the safe installation of the counterweight is effectively guaranteed, the labor intensity of construction workers is reduced, production efficiency is improved, paint damage is reduced, safety risks are reduced, the project assembly cycle is shortened, and valuable time is gained for the project shipment node.
