[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of large-scale ship cranes, and in particular to a tool and method for installing and disassembling a pin shaft of a crane boom. Background Art

[0002] The arm and the ear plate of the large marine crane are connected by a pin, which is one of the main load-bearing parts. Because bench tests need to be carried out within the company, installation is required. After the test, the tower, arm and pin still need to be disassembled and shipped separately for easy transportation. When it is installed in the shipyard, it needs to be installed again.

[0003] The arm bearing and the pin shaft generally adopt a transition fit. The installation of the pin shaft is limited by the space conditions on the ship, and is often installed and disassembled by manual alignment and knocking of copper rods. It requires 2-3 people to cooperate in the operation. The heavy pin shaft cannot be moved manually, and a crane is needed for installation and disassembly, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

[0004] In summary, the present invention solves the existing problems by designing a tool and method for installing and disassembling a pin shaft of a crane boom. Summary of the invention
