[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention, but the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a crane for viaduct spanning construction, which is used for bridge erection. The bridge includes a cap 11 and a pier 12 arranged on the cap 11, and a beam section 13 erected on the pier 12 by the crane for viaduct spanning construction;

[0029] The lifting device 30 includes a moving frame 31, on which a lifting groove 32 and a lifting vehicle 33 at least partially inserted into the lifting groove 32 are provided, and the lifting vehicle 33 is slidably connected to the lifting groove 32;

[0030] A monitoring device is provided on the lifting device 30, the mobile frame 31 has at least one first monitoring end 51, and the monitoring device includes a first monitoring belt provided at the first monitoring end 51, a second monitoring belt integrated on the lifting vehicle 33, and a monitoring center.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mobile frame carries the crane and provides a moving track for it. In order to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the mobile frame, the mobile frame is made of high-strength steel to form a solid frame structure. The crane is at least partially installed in the lifting groove of the mobile frame and is connected to the mobile frame through a sliding connection. The crane adopts a hydraulic or electric drive, as well as an advanced guide and brake system.

[0032] In this embodiment, the monitoring device is integrated on the lifting device and is used to monitor the key parameters of the lifting operation in real time, such as the position and speed of the lifting vehicle. By comparing these parameters with the preset safety thresholds, potential safety hazards can be discovered in time and corresponding measures can be taken. The control system is responsible for receiving data from the monitoring device and controlling and adjusting the lifting device based on these data. For example, when it is monitored that the weight of the lifting vehicle exceeds the preset value, the control system can automatically stop the lifting operation and send an alarm signal.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting device is also equipped with safety protection measures, including limiters, buffers, anti-overturning devices, etc. The safety protection measures can provide additional support and protection during the lifting operation, thereby avoiding accidents.

In order to ensure that the connection between the columns and the pedestal is firm and reliable, high-strength bolt connection or welding can be used. The crossbar is connected to the columns of the same pedestal to form a stable frame structure. The connection between the crossbar and the columns should also be connected by high-strength bolt connection or welding to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire support frame.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the track device 40 includes a movable rail 41 mounted on a plurality of crossbars 23 and a moving device 42 disposed below the lifting device 30 and cooperating with the movable rail 41 to enable the lifting device 30 and the support frame 20 to move relative to each other.

In some embodiments, the second monitoring belt may also be provided with a laser ranging sensor and an ultrasonic ranging sensor. The second monitoring belt can capture the size information of the beam section and the movement trajectory of the crane truck in real time.

[0040] In this embodiment, the monitoring device includes a data processing module, which is the core part of the monitoring device and is responsible for receiving the data transmitted by the data acquisition module and performing in-depth analysis and processing. The module may use a high-performance microprocessor or digital signal processor (DSP) that can execute complex algorithms and logical judgments to extract useful information and generate alarm signals.

[0041] In this embodiment, the monitoring device includes a communication module, which is responsible for transmitting the processed data to the monitoring center or other remote devices. It uses wired or wireless communication technology, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or LoRa, to ensure the real-time and reliability of the data.

[0042] In this embodiment, the monitoring center is the display and control center of the monitoring device, which receives data from the communication module and displays, stores and analyzes it. The monitoring center may include devices such as a large-screen display, a touch screen, a printer, and specially developed software applications for presenting real-time data, historical data and alarm information.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting device 30 is used to erect the beam section 13 on the pier 12, and the lower end of the lifting vehicle 33 is connected to an anchoring device 34.

[0044] In this embodiment, the anchoring device connected to the lower end of the crane is a key component to ensure the stability and safety of the beam section during the erection process. The anchoring device is made of high-strength material and has sufficient load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance.

[0045] The present invention also provides a construction method of a crane for viaduct spanning construction, using the above-mentioned crane for viaduct spanning construction, the construction method comprises:
