TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a method for interchanging pulleys on a crane tripod. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual depletion of land resources, the development direction of resources has expanded to the ocean, and marine resources will dominate the world's resources in the future and become the focus of fierce competition among countries. To develop marine resources, advanced marine cranes are needed to transport goods and equipment. Cranes are widely used due to their small platform space occupation, compact structure, large lifting capacity, and long lifting radius. For example, Chinese patent number 201821574159.4, published on August 2, 2019, discloses a crane based on a flat special-shaped rotary platform, which includes a base, a rotary support, a rotary platform, a rotary drive device, a boom, and a tripod. The rotary platform uses two parallel rib plate groups; the structure of the front and rear center rib plate groups is beneficial to the dispersion of the stress of the rotary platform and can significantly improve the structural stability of the rotary platform. An axle hole is provided on the rotary platform, and a shaft sleeve is provided in the axle hole. The rotary drive device is arranged in the axle hole, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. The tripod is connected by welding and flange connection, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly and facilitates transportation.

[0003] The crane in the above-mentioned document is provided with a tripod, and pulleys are installed on the tripod, which is convenient for the steel wire rope of the winch to pass through the pulleys of the tripod and then be connected to the boom. However, it is found that when the pulleys installed on the top of the tripod on the rotary platform are installed in reverse, the steel wire rope cannot be wound around the pulleys of the tripod until the pulleys are interchanged. Since the distance from the pulley to the ground is about one hundred meters, the use of a crane for operation is costly, and due to the high height, it is not convenient to replace the pulleys on both sides of the tripod, which ensures the safety of the operation. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for interchanging pulleys on a crane tripod, which can interchange the pulleys on the tripod using a luffing steel wire rope, is convenient to operate, and has low use cost.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a method for interchanging pulleys on a crane tripod includes the following steps:

[0006] S2 determine the length of the sliding suspension cable, make the luffing steel wire rope in a straight state, mark the luffing steel wire rope directly above the pulley to be interchanged, and then change the luffing steel wire rope from the straight state to the relaxed state;

[0007] S3 sets the binding belt on both sides of the mark, connects one end of the sliding suspension cable to the lifting lug on the left side of the top of the tripod through the shackle, then passes the sliding suspension cable through the mark between the binding belts and fixes the sliding suspension cable on the luffing wire through the shackle at the mark, then connects the other end of the sliding suspension cable to the chain hoist and connects the chain hoist to the lifting lug on the right side of the top of the tripod through the shackle;

[0008] S4 sets the chain hoist on the sliding suspension cable and installs the traction rope on the chain hoist, then puts the sling through the rope groove of the pulley and makes the sling in a tightened state, connects the chain hoist on the sliding suspension cable to the sling through the shackle;

[0009] S5 moves the chain hoist on the sliding suspension cable to above the pulley to be exchanged respectively, then changes the luffing wire from a relaxed state to a taut state, then controls the chain hoist on the sliding suspension cable to tighten the pulley to be exchanged, so that the pulling force of the chain hoist is equal to the weight of the pulley to be exchanged;

[0010] S6 removes the pulley, hoists the pulley away from the pulley mounting plate through the chain hoist on the sliding suspension cable and the chain hoist arranged on the platform guardrail, fixes the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod on the platform, then pulls the traction rope, moves the pulley on the left side of the top of the tripod to the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the top of the tripod for installation, after the installation of the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod is completed, pulls the traction rope, moves the pulley on the platform to the pulley mounting plate on the left side of the top of the tripod for installation, and completes the exchange of the pulleys on the left and right sides of the top of the tripod.

[0011] The above setting, by crossing the sliding suspension cable over the wire rope and connecting both ends, then setting the electric hoist at the lower end of the sliding suspension cable to realize the left and right movement of the pulley, so as to realize the replacement of the pulley by using the wire rope, low cost, and by the length of the sliding suspension cable to determine the mark arranged on the luffing wire rope, so that the sliding suspension cable fixed on the luffing wire rope can be above the pulley to be exchanged after the luffing wire rope is taut, and then the pulley to be exchanged can be easily hoisted by the chain hoist arranged on the sliding suspension cable, the sliding suspension cable is fixed at the mark by setting the shackle, and the sliding suspension cable is limited in the setting direction of the wire rope by setting the binding belt, so as to prevent the sliding suspension cable from sliding along the length direction of the luffing wire rope on the luffing wire rope, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0012] Further, before step S2, it further includes step S1 of presetting the maximum deformation amount of the sliding suspension cable fixed on the luffing wire rope in the vertical direction , then calculating the maximum pre-tightening force of the sliding suspension cable according to the weight P of the pulley to be exchanged and the span L of the sliding suspension cable on the luffing wire rope ;

[0013] After the step S3 of "connecting the hand chain hoist to the lifting lug on the right side of the top of the tripod by unhooking", further comprising: making the pre-tightening force of the sliding suspension cable less than the maximum pre-tightening force S.

[0014] The above arrangement makes the pre-tightening force of the sliding suspension cable less than the maximum pre-tightening force S after the two ends of the sliding suspension cable are connected, so that the sliding suspension cable can be pulled up and moved upward after the pulley is hung on the lower end of the sliding suspension cable, ensuring the reliability of pulling.

[0015] Further, the sliding suspension cable comprises a left sliding suspension cable and a right sliding suspension cable, the left sliding suspension cable is arranged above the pulley on the left side of the top of the tripod, passes through the marked position to cross the luffing wire rope, and is fixed on the lifting lugs on the left and right sides of the top of the tripod; the right sliding suspension cable is arranged above the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod, passes through the marked position to cross the luffing wire rope, and is fixed on the lifting lugs on the left and right sides of the top of the tripod.

[0016] The above arrangement facilitates the left pulley on the top of the tripod after being disassembled to slide to the right side of the top of the tripod through the left sliding suspension cable, and facilitates the right pulley on the top of the tripod after being disassembled to slide to the left side of the top of the tripod through the right sliding suspension cable.

[0017] Further, the step S1 of calculating the pre-tightening force The calculation formula is as follows:

[0018]

[0019] Wherein P is the weight of the pulley to be exchanged, g is the acceleration of gravity, L is the span of the sliding suspension cable on the luffing wire rope, is the angle between the sliding suspension cable and the horizontal when the sliding suspension cable is not hung with the pulley, is the maximum deformation in the vertical direction when the sliding suspension cable is hung with the pulley, and then the pre-tightening force of the left sliding suspension cable and the right sliding suspension cable is calculated respectively.

[0020] The above arrangement facilitates the calculation of the pre-tightening force of the sliding suspension cable.

[0021] Further, the length of the sliding suspension cable in the step S2 is the sum of the span l of the sliding suspension cable on the luffing wire rope, the distance from the luffing wire rope to the lifting lug on the left side of the top of the tripod, and the distance from the luffing wire rope to the lifting lug on the right side of the top of the tripod.

[0022] The above arrangement facilitates the calculation of the length of the sliding suspension cable in advance, so that the sliding suspension cable can be installed and fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the tripod after crossing the luffing wire rope.

[0023] Further, the step S4 further comprises:

[0024] ​The disengaging buckle is arranged at the lower end of the hand chain block, the sling is sleeved on the pulley and connected with the disengaging buckle, and then the disengaging buckle is driven by the hand chain block to move upward, so as to drive the sling to change from the relaxed state to the tightened state.

[0025] The above arrangement can tightly lock the to-be-interchanged pulley by the sling, so as to facilitate the disassembly and movement of the pulley.

[0026] Further, the step S5 further comprises:

[0027] The hand chain block on the left sliding suspension cable is moved above the pulley on the left side of the top of the tripod, the hand chain block on the right sliding suspension cable is moved above the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod, after the amplitude wire rope becomes in the taut state, the pre-tightening force of the left sliding suspension cable and the right sliding suspension cable is adjusted to the pre-tightening force calculated in the step S1 by the hand chain block connected with the left sliding suspension cable and the hand chain block connected with the right sliding suspension cable respectively, so that the left sliding suspension cable and the right sliding suspension cable are in the taut state.

[0028] The above arrangement can move the pulley in the preset deformation amount, prevent the deformation amount of the sliding suspension cable from being too large, and thus facilitate the worker to move the hand chain block by pulling the rope.

[0029] Further, the step S6 further comprises:

[0030] After the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod is removed, the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod is driven by the hand chain block on the right sliding suspension cable to move upward by 800 mm, and then the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod is driven by the hand chain block arranged on the platform guardrail on the right side of the top of the tripod to move by 550 mm in the direction of the platform, so that the pulley on the right side of the top of the tripod is separated from the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the top of the tripod and is fixed on the platform.

[0031] The hand puller on the left sliding suspension cable drives the pulley on the left side of the tripod top to move up 800mm, then the hand puller arranged on the platform guardrail on the left side of the tripod top is used to pull the knot arranged on the sling, so that the pulley on the left side of the tripod top moves 550mm to the direction of the platform, the pulley on the left side of the tripod top is separated from the pulley mounting plate on the left side of the tripod top, the traction rope is pulled, the pulley on the left side of the tripod top is driven to move to the right for a distance, then the hand puller on the platform guardrail on the left side of the tripod top is loosened, so that the pulley on the left side of the tripod top is only subjected to the vertical pulling force of the hand puller on the left sliding suspension cable, then the traction rope is pulled, when the pulley on the left side of the tripod top moves to the front of the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the tripod top, the other hand puller arranged on the platform guardrail on the right side of the tripod top is used to pull the pulley on the left side of the tripod top to move to the direction of the platform for a distance, then the traction rope is pulled, so that the pulley on the left side of the tripod top continues to move to the upper side of the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the tripod top, then the other hand puller on the platform guardrail on the right side of the tripod top is loosened, so that the pulley on the left side of the tripod top enters the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the tripod top, finally the pulley moved from the left side to the right side of the tripod top is installed.

[0032] After the pulley on the left side of the tripod top is moved to the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the tripod top and installed, the traction rope is pulled, so that the hand puller on the right sliding suspension cable drives the pulley on the right side of the tripod top to move left for a distance and then stop, the hand puller on the platform guardrail on the right side of the tripod top is loosened, so that the pulley on the right side of the tripod top is only subjected to the vertical pulling force of the hand puller on the right sliding suspension cable, then the traction rope is pulled, when the pulley on the right side of the tripod top moves to the front of the pulley mounting plate on the left side of the tripod top, the other hand puller arranged on the platform guardrail on the left side of the tripod top is used to pull the pulley on the right side of the tripod top to move to the direction of the platform for a distance, then the traction rope is pulled, so that the pulley on the right side of the tripod top continues to move to the upper side of the pulley mounting plate on the left side of the tripod top, then the other hand puller on the platform guardrail on the left side of the tripod top is loosened, so that the pulley on the right side of the tripod top enters the pulley mounting plate on the left side of the tripod top, finally the pulley moved from the right side to the left side of the tripod top is installed.

Then release the other hand chain hoist on the right side platform railing to let the pulley on the left side of the top of the tripod enter the pulley mounting plate on the right side of the top of the tripod. Finally, install the pulley that has moved from the left side to the right side of the top of the tripod. After moving the pulley on the top left of the tripod to the installation plate of the pulley on the top right of the tripod, pull the traction rope to move the pulley on the top right of the tripod to the left a certain distance using the hand chain hoist on the right sliding suspension cable, then release the hand chain hoist on the platform railing on the top right of the tripod, so that the pulley on the top right of the tripod is only subjected to the vertical tension of the hand chain hoist on the right sliding suspension cable. Then pull the traction rope to move the pulley on the top right of the tripod to the left until it is in front of the installation plate of the pulley on the top left of the tripod. Then, use another hand chain hoist on the platform railing on the top left of the tripod to move the pulley on the top right of the tripod towards the platform a certain distance. Then pull the traction rope to move the pulley on the top right of the tripod further to the left until it is above the installation plate of the pulley on the top left of the tripod. Then release the other hand chain hoist on the platform railing on the top left of the tripod so that the pulley on the top right of the tripod enters the installation plate of the pulley on the top left of the tripod. Finally, install the pulley that has moved from the top right to the left of the tripod.
