[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 The diagram shows a climbing platform for a tower crane, comprising a guide rail 1, a climbing mechanism, a steel structure platform, and a guide wheel device. The guide rail 1 is composed of multiple segments connected in series, arranged in two parallel rows, and fixed to the building by anchor bolts pre-embedded in the building wall. The guide rail 1 has equidistantly arranged lugs 4, each lug having an arc groove at its upper part and a through hole. The climbing mechanism includes a hydraulic station, a cylinder 18, and a climbing beam 5. The climbing beam 5 is hinged to the piston rod of the cylinder 18, and both ends of the climbing beam 5 are supported within the arc grooves of the lugs 4. The cylinder 18... 8. Connected to the hydraulic station, the steel structure platform includes a tower crane mounting base plate 21, a climbing platform 14, a cylinder mounting lug 16, and a fixed lug 11. The tower crane mounting base plate 21 is connected to the top surface of the climbing platform 14. The climbing platform 14 is provided with a cylinder mounting lug 16 and a fixed lug 11 at its top. A movable lug 9 is hinged to the fixed lug 11. The movable lug 9 is connected to the support lug 4 through a safety pin 17 and a through hole on the support lug 4. The fixed lug 11 and the lower end of the climbing platform 14 are connected to the guide rail 1 through a guide wheel device.

[0025] The supporting lug is provided with an arc groove for supporting when the platform climbs or descends. The supporting lug is also provided with a hole, which can be connected to the climbing platform through a pin shaft. When multiple groups of pin shafts connect the climbing platform and the supporting lugs, the climbing platform can be stably fixed on the guide rail to meet the normal working requirements of the tower crane.

[0026] Both ends of the climbing beam are provided with load-bearing pins, and the diameter of the load-bearing pin is the same as that of the arc groove on the guide rail supporting lug. The load-bearing pin can be supported in the arc groove of the supporting lug on the guide rail, and transmit the load of the climbing platform and the tower crane to the building.

[0027] As Figure 6 shows, the guide wheel device comprises a front guide ear seat 7, a rear guide ear seat 2, a travelling wheel 20 and a connecting ear seat 8, the travelling wheel 20 is fixed on the front guide ear seat 7 and the rear guide ear seat 2 through a bearing, and the travelling wheel 20 is erected on the guide rail 1, the front guide ear seat 7 and the rear guide ear seat 2 are connected with the connecting ear seat 8 through bolts, the aforesaid fixed ear plate 11 is hinged with the connecting ear seat 8, and the lower end of the climbing platform 14 is hinged with the connecting ear seat 8.

[0028] A larger inclination adjustment range of the climbing platform can be obtained by replacing connecting ear plates with different height dimensions.

[0029] As Figure 10 shows, a hanging claw 10 is hinged on the movable ear plate 9, and the hanging claw 10 is hung and connected in the arc groove of the supporting lug 4. Both the hanging claw 10 and the movable ear plate 9 are hung and connected on the supporting lug 4, which improves safety.

[0030] As Figure 7 and Figure 9 shows, the bottom of the climbing platform 14 is provided with an inclination adjustment device, the inclination adjustment device comprises a hollow casing 22, an adjustment ear plate 3, an angle adjusting screw 15 and a stop nut 19, the casing 22 is provided with internal threads, the adjustment ear plate 3 and the angle adjusting screw 15 are arranged in the casing 22, the head of the adjustment ear plate 3 is connected with the connecting ear plate, the tail of the adjustment ear plate 3 is rotatably connected with the angle adjusting screw 15, and the angle adjusting screw 15 is provided with the stop nut 19.

[0031] Twisting the angle adjusting screw enables the adjusting ear plate to extend and retract inside and outside, so as to realize the inclination adjustment of the climbing platform.

[0032] As Figure 5 shows, the tower crane mounting base plate 21 comprises a "rice"-shaped mounting base, a plurality of groups of mounting holes with different spacings are arranged on four edges of the mounting base along the diagonal direction of the climbing platform, a plurality of support legs 13 are connected on the mounting base through fixing bolts. L is the section of the standard section.

[0033] Tower cranes of different models can be adapted by selecting different mounting holes and different mounting bases.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the lower end of the support lug 4 is a beveled side, which is used to guide the climbing platform's hanging claw.

[0035] The front end of the claw is equipped with a pin, the diameter of which is the same as the diameter of the arc groove on the guide rail support. During the ascent or descent of the climbing platform, it engages with the arc groove on the guide rail support, transferring the load of the tower crane and the climbing platform to the guide rail. Due to the weight of the claw's front end, the climbing platform, after installation, maintains contact with the guide rail due to its own weight. During ascent, it can automatically rotate along the shape of the support to avoid obstruction. During descent, in the event of an accidental fall, the claw will ensure that it engages with the next level support, preventing further descent.

[0036] When the climbing platform 14 is climbing, it serves as the fulcrum for bearing the load of the platform and the tower crane. When the tower crane is operating normally, the climbing platform and the support lugs are fixedly connected by pins, transferring the load of the climbing platform and the tower crane to the building.

[0037] When the tower crane needs to ascend, first rotate the upper structure of the tower crane to a position parallel to the outer surface of the building. Operate the hydraulic station to drive cylinder 18 to place the climbing beam 5 into the arc groove of the adjacent guide rail support 4, transferring the entire load of the climbing platform 14 and the tower crane from the climbing beam 5 to the guide rail 1. At this time, remove the pin connecting the climbing platform and the guide rail. Continue operating the hydraulic station to extend the cylinder. Guided by the guide wheel device and the guide rail 1, the climbing platform will rise along the guide rail. When the hook 10 is reliably hooked into the arc groove of the support 4 of the next guide rail, slightly retract cylinder 18. At this time, the load of the climbing platform 14 and the tower crane is transferred from the climbing beam to the hook. Repeat the above steps to continuously ascend the climbing platform. After reaching the required height, use a pin to pass through the fixing ear plate 11 and the support 4 to fix the climbing platform 14 to the guide rail 1.

[0038] When the tower crane needs to be lowered, first rotate the upper structure of the tower crane to a position parallel to the outer surface of the building. Operate the hydraulic station to drive the cylinder to place the climbing beam into the arc groove of the next-level support lug 4, transferring the entire load of the climbing platform 14 and the tower crane from the climbing beam to the guide rail 1. At this time, remove the pin connecting the climbing platform and the guide rail. Continue operating the hydraulic station to retract the cylinder. The climbing platform will descend along the guide rail due to the guidance of the guide wheel device and the guide rail. When the hook is reliably engaged in the arc groove of the next-level guide rail support lug, slightly retract the cylinder. At this time, the load of the climbing platform and the tower crane will be transferred from the climbing beam to the hook. Repeat the above steps to continuously lower the climbing platform. After reaching the required height, use a pin to pass through the fixed lug plate and the guide rail support lug to fix the climbing platform to the guide rail.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
