Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tower cranes, in particular to a stable slewing device of a tower crane. Background Art
[0002] Tower crane, also known as tower crane, originated in Western Europe. It is a rotating crane with a boom installed on the top of a tall tower. It has a large working space and is mainly used for vertical and horizontal transportation of materials and installation of building components in house construction. It consists of three parts: metal structure, working mechanism and electrical system. The metal structure includes the tower body, boom and base. The working mechanism has four parts: lifting, luffing, rotation and travel. The electrical system includes motors, controllers, distribution cabinets, connecting lines, signals and lighting devices.
[0003] According to the difference in slewing mechanism, tower cranes can be divided into upper slewing tower cranes and lower slewing tower cranes. The upper slewing tower crane has the slewing support, counterweight and main mechanisms all set at the upper end. Its advantage is that since the tower body does not rotate, the lower structure of the tower body can be simplified and jacking and sectioning are convenient. Its disadvantages are: high gravity, high center of gravity, increased wind pressure, and increased pressure weight. Therefore, its stability is greatly tested during operation. To solve this problem, we have proposed a stable slewing device for tower cranes. Summary of the Invention
