Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a special lifting tool for installing a slewing bearing of a crane and a method for using the same, and belongs to the technical field of tool fixtures. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the operation process of a port loading and unloading machine door machine, the door machine can freely rotate 360° after grabbing the cargo, which is realized by supporting the outer tooth rolling bearing (also called gear ring) between the cylinder and the rotating platform. The gear ring installation surface of the cylinder faces upward, and during installation, a large-tonnage crane is directly used to lift the rotating platform together with the gear ring below, and then the installation is completed. However, the gear ring installation surface of the rotating platform faces downward, and the installation is relatively difficult. In the past, the process of installing the gear ring of the door machine rotating platform generally includes the following steps: first, the gear ring is hoisted onto a special tray for gear ring installation by a crane; then, the tray is hoisted to a position below the rotating platform; then, the tray is lifted by two forklifts; finally, the tray is fastened to the rotating platform by fastening bolts. This operation method requires one crane and two forklifts for transportation, which has the problem of man-machine cooperation and cannot realize man-machine separation, which has safety hazards. Moreover, the gear ring bolt hole and the rotating platform flange bolt hole cannot be aligned every time, and need to be adjusted by lifting and landing multiple times, which prolongs the operation time, and the installation time is half a day at the least and one day at the most, which leads to low production efficiency. The use of one crane and two forklifts also increases the production cost.

[0003] The traditional installation method of the slewing bearing has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. One crane and two forklifts are required for cooperation, and the operator needs to cooperate with the two forklifts during the operation process, and a special command hand is required for command. The operator performs installation operation, and during the entire installation process, man-machine separation cannot be realized, which has serious safety hazards.

[0005] 2. Multiple mechanical vehicles need to be cooperated during the installation process, and the process flow is long. There is a time difference between each process, which increases the installation auxiliary time and causes the gear ring bolt hole and the rotating platform flange bolt hole to not coincide during the lifting process of the two forklifts. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the installation by lowering and lifting again, which will cause the installation time to be too long and the production efficiency to be unable to be improved.

[0006] 3. During the entire installation process, one crane driver, two forklift drivers, one command hand, and three installation workers are required, and a total of seven people are required to cooperate to complete the installation of the gear ring. The use of three mechanical vehicles and the labor cost of seven people increase the production cost a lot.

[0007] In summary, according to the current installation process, many people and many types of machines are needed to cooperate in the installation process, and the safety risk is relatively large. The number of personnel and the number of machines used are relatively large, resulting in high production costs, and the efficiency in the installation process is difficult to improve, resulting in low production efficiency.
