Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a displacement balancing weight mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Cranes are widely used in hoisting operations in wind farms, large petrochemical projects, large bridges and other projects. At the same time, they are increasingly used in construction in cities and factories. Customers have higher and higher requirements for the performance and spatial adaptability of cranes. In order to improve the lifting performance of cranes, it is necessary to continuously increase the weight of the counterweight to increase the anti-overturning moment of the crane, which has caused various manufacturing and transportation costs to continue to increase. More importantly, it has limited the working conditions of cranes in many narrow working spaces.

[0003] At present, the most widely used variable position counterweight connected to the turntable is mainly a rotating swing counterweight structure, which includes a counterweight bracket, a rotating shaft, a swing cylinder, a rotating frame and a counterweight block. The rotating frames on the left and right sides are connected to the counterweight bracket through a rotating shaft, and the swing cylinders on the left and right sides are connected to the counterweight bracket and the rotating frame. The counterweight blocks on the left and right sides are placed on the rotating frame. Under the drive of the swing cylinder, the counterweight block in this structure can be swung back and forth around the rotating shafts on both sides to achieve the change of the counterweight position. Due to the layout restrictions of the rotating frame and the swing cylinder, the swing distance of the left and right rotating frames is limited, and the displacement distance of the counterweight is limited, which limits the further improvement of the crane's tipping performance. The transition state is limited by the road width, the width of the transport vehicle, etc. The counterweight block and the overall structure of the counterweight bracket connected to the turntable in the above scheme must be removed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and reduces the working efficiency of the crane. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the existing technical problems of using as little counterweight as possible to maximize the lifting performance and adapt to more narrow working spaces, the present invention designs a counterweight displacement mechanism and method, which can reduce the weight of the counterweight and the turning radius of the crane under the same conditions to adapt to operations in narrow spaces.

The telescopic device fixed shaft is arranged in the middle of the telescopic device, the two swing bracket connecting shafts are arranged at both ends of the telescopic device, and the two sliders are respectively fixed on the sides of the two swing bracket connecting shafts; the telescopic device fixed shaft is connected to the telescopic device mounting hole for fixing the telescopic device; the swing bracket connecting shaft is connected to the swing bracket to transmit the power provided by the telescopic device to the swing bracket; The swing bracket is composed of a first swing bracket body, a second swing bracket body, and a centering connection block. The centering connection block connects the first swing bracket body and the second swing bracket body together. The first swing bracket body and the second swing bracket body are provided with a first connection hole at the same side end, and the first swing bracket body and the second swing bracket body are provided with a second connection hole and a third connection hole at the other side end; the first connection hole is connected to the swing bracket connecting shaft; the second connection hole is connected to the secondary telescopic device; the third connection hole is connected to the counterweight bracket; the centering connection block is connected to the centering slide rail to prevent the mechanism from eccentric movement; The counterweight bracket comprises a counterweight bracket body, a first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft. The first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft are arranged on the same side of the counterweight bracket body, and the first connecting shaft is connected to the swing bracket.

[0006] A secondary telescopic device is arranged between the counterweight bracket and the swing bracket, one end of the swing bracket is connected to the primary telescopic mechanism, the other end of the swing bracket is respectively connected to the secondary telescopic device and the counterweight bracket, the other end of the secondary telescopic device is connected to the other end of the counterweight bracket, the counterweight block is placed on the counterweight bracket, and the second connecting shaft is the secondary telescopic device.

[0007] The primary telescopic mechanism and the secondary telescopic device are oil cylinders.

[0008] The first-level telescopic mechanism is a double oil cylinder.

[0010] The swing bracket is arranged in a left-right manner or in an up-down manner.

[0011] The ends of the first swing bracket body and the second swing bracket body where the second connecting hole and the third connecting hole are opened are single-layer or multi-layer board structures.

[0012] Working process and working principle of the present invention: The present invention drives the swing bracket to swing through the movement of the primary telescopic mechanism, and the swing bracket drives the counterweight bracket to move together, and the counterweight block is placed on the counterweight bracket, thereby changing the counterweight rotation radius and the center of gravity position. Furthermore, a secondary telescopic device can be added between the counterweight bracket and the swing bracket, and the counterweight bracket is driven to swing further through the movement of the secondary telescopic device to achieve a larger displacement distance.

[0013] The movement of the telescopic device in the primary telescopic mechanism drives the slider to slide back and forth on the counterweight bracket, and the sliding of the slider drives the swing bracket to swing. At this time, the secondary telescopic device, the counterweight bracket, the counterweight block and the swing bracket swing together to achieve the swing displacement of the counterweight block. After the swing displacement is completed, the movement of the secondary telescopic device drives the counterweight bracket to swing, achieving further displacement of the counterweight block.

[0014] The method of changing the counterweight in working state is as follows: Before work begins, the counterweight system is in the first position, at which time the primary telescopic mechanism is in a fully extended state and the secondary telescopic device is in an initial state.

[0015] At the beginning of the operation, the primary telescopic mechanism retracts, driving the swing bracket to swing to the rear side of the counterweight bracket. At this time, the secondary telescopic device, the counterweight bracket, the counterweight block and the swing bracket swing together. When the primary telescopic mechanism reaches the fully retracted state, the counterweight system swings to the second position to achieve the swing displacement of the counterweight system. After reaching the second position, the secondary telescopic device begins to extend, pushing the counterweight bracket to continue to swing to the rear side of the counterweight bracket. When the secondary telescopic device reaches the fully extended state, the counterweight system swings to the third position to achieve further displacement of the counterweight system. The counterweight system can be swung from the third position to the first position in the reverse order.

[0016] The method of changing the balance weight in transition state is as follows: Before starting work, remove the counterweight block in the counterweight system. If the counterweight system is in the first position, move the counterweight system to the second position according to the counterweight displacement method in the working state; if it is in the second position / third position, it can be directly shifted to the transition state.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. The present invention solves the technical problem of limited displacement distance of the counterweight, and the tipping performance of the crane is further improved.

[0018] 2. The present invention solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive disassembly and assembly of the counterweight bracket during transfer, thereby improving efficiency and saving costs.

[0038] The working process and working principle of this embodiment: The movement of the telescopic device 22 in the primary telescopic mechanism 2 drives the slider 21 to slide back and forth on the counterweight bracket 1, and the sliding of the slider 21 drives the swing bracket 3 to swing.
