Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of crane slewing platforms, and in particular to a drive replacement method for a slewing platform. Background Art
[0002] The slewing platform is the main body of the crane, which is connected to the tripod at the top and the slewing bearing at the bottom (the slewing bearing is then connected to the base with bolts). It is hinged to the pivot at the root of the boom through the bearing seat at the front. The slewing platform plays a connecting role.
[0003] In order to drive the slewing platform to rotate, it is necessary to use a slewing drive. Since the slewing drive is usually installed inside the tower body and connected to the slewing platform, this will not affect the drive of the slewing platform and can also save the space occupied by the crane.
[0004] However, since the slewing drive is installed inside the tower body, if the slewing drive needs to be repaired or replaced, it is necessary to enter the tower body through the maintenance port of the tower body and then lift the slewing drive out. Since the installation position of the slewing drive does not necessarily correspond to the maintenance port, it may be necessary to manually transfer the slewing drive to the position of the maintenance port before it can be carried out, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, when the winch is rotated or moved out by the carrying tool, it is necessary to ensure the balance of the carrying device. If it is unbalanced, the slewing mechanism cannot be carried in a balanced manner, and thus cannot be reliably moved out of the tower body. Summary of the invention
[0005] The invention provides a drive replacement method for a rotary platform, which adjusts a handling tool according to the position of a rotary drive and ensures that a handling rod is balanced during rotation, thereby facilitating reliable handling of the rotary drives at different positions in a tower body.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for replacing the drive of a rotary platform, which is implemented by a handling tool, wherein the handling tool comprises a mounting plate and a handling rod, a rotating shaft is provided at the center of the mounting plate, one end of the handling rod is arranged on the rotating shaft and swings with the rotating shaft as a fulcrum, a limiting portion is further provided at the end of one end of the handling rod, and a sling is provided at the other end of the handling rod, and the specific steps include: (01) Determine the distance between the rotating axis on the carrying rod in the carrying tool and the connection position of the sling according to the weight of the slewing mechanism to be lifted, the weight of the carrying tool and the length of the carrying rod, so that the carrying rod is in a balanced state.
[0007] (1) Install the handling tool on the forklift and insert the fork tines of the forklift into the connecting grooves of the handling tool.
[0008] (2) The forklift drives the handling equipment into the tower through the maintenance opening of the tower.
[0009] (3) Adjust the angle of the handling tool so that the position of the handling tool swings in the direction of the rotary drive.
[0010] (4) The handling tool swings onto the slewing drive, and the handling tool lifts the slewing drive with a sling.
[0011] (5) Return the handling device to the correct angle so that the slewing drive is in the straight line direction of the maintenance opening.
[0012] (6) The forklift drives the handling equipment out of the maintenance opening and moves the slewing drive away from the tower.
[0013] (7) Use a sling to hang the other rotary drive on the handling tool.
[0014] (8) Use the forklift to repeat steps (2)-(3) to move the other rotary tooling into the tower body.
[0015] (9) Install the slewing drive on the slewing platform.
[0016] The above method first determines the connection position of the sling in the handling tool by the weight of the slewing mechanism, so that the handling tool is in a balanced state when the slewing mechanism is lifted, so that the slewing mechanism can be reliably moved out, and the handling tool is arranged on a forklift, the forklift drives the handling tool to extend into the tower body, and adjusts the angle of the handling tool according to the position of the slewing drive, so that the handling tool swings in the direction of the slewing drive, so that the slewing drive can be easily hoisted on the handling tool, and when the slewing drive is hoisted, the angle of the handling tool is corrected, so that the slewing drive can be located in the straight line direction of the maintenance port, and then the slewing drive can be transported out of the tower body from the direction of the maintenance port only by reversing the forklift, thereby facilitating the replacement of the slewing drive, and there is no need to manually move the slewing drive to the position of the maintenance port, so that the slewing drive at different positions in the tower body can be easily transported.
[0017] Furthermore, a driving motor is provided at the lower end of the mounting plate. The driving motor is connected to the rotating shaft, and the driving motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0018] The above arrangement drives the rotating shaft to rotate by the driving motor, thereby enabling the carrying rod to swing to different angles.
[0019] Furthermore, a driving cylinder is provided at the upper end of the mounting plate, the cylinder body of the driving cylinder is hinged on the mounting plate, the piston rod of the driving cylinder is hinged to the end of one end of the carrying rod, and the driving cylinder drives the piston rod to drive the end of one end of the carrying rod to slide in the swing groove.
[0020] The above arrangement drives the oil cylinder to push one end of the carrying rod to move, thereby causing the carrying rod to swing with the rotating shaft as a fulcrum to achieve angle adjustment.
[0021] Furthermore, the limiting part is a limiting rod, one end of the limiting rod is connected to the carrying rod, and the other end of the limiting rod is located in the swing groove.
[0022] The above arrangement enables one end of the carrying rod to be restricted to swing in the swing groove through the arrangement of the limiting rod.
[0023] Furthermore, a through hole is provided at the other end of the carrying rod, and the sling is fixed on the through hole.
[0024] The above arrangement facilitates fixing of the sling through the arrangement of the through holes.
[0025] Furthermore, a lifting ear is provided at the other end of the carrying rod, and the lifting belt is fixed on the lifting ear.
[0026] The above arrangement facilitates fixing of the sling through the arrangement of the lifting lugs.
[0027] Furthermore, step (4) specifically includes fixing one end of the sling on the lifting ear, and connecting the other end of the sling to the slewing drive. After the connection between the sling and the slewing drive is completed, the forklift lifts the fork teeth to make the slewing drive detach from the slewing platform, thereby bringing the slewing drive out of the tower body through the maintenance opening.
[0028] The above arrangement makes it easy to carry the rotary drive by connecting the sling to the rotary drive. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
