DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below by way of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0030] The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, B exists alone, and A and B exist at the same time. The term " / and" in this article describes another type of association object relationship, indicating that there can be two relationships. For example, A / and B can mean: A exists alone, and A and B exist alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0031] according to Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a chemical tanker ship crane comprises a reinforced base and a boom assembly, wherein the reinforced base is arranged on the ship, and the boom assembly is arranged on the reinforced base. The reinforced base comprises a base cylinder 1, and the base cylinder 1 is arranged on the deck 2 of the ship. The base cylinder 1 is generally tubular, and the bottom end of the base cylinder 1 is fixedly arranged on the deck 2 across three decks 2, and the base cylinder 1 is located in the midship position at the stern of the ship.

[0032] It should be noted that most of the living area of ​​the ship is arranged at the stern, and the height of the crane is often affected by the reserved living area to choose which deck 2 is more suitable for arrangement. In this embodiment, since the length of the reserved stern space is limited, the base of the crane needs to be combined with the upper structure into a whole, which can save space in the living area.

[0033] The base cylinder 1 of this embodiment spans three floors of living areas, and the bottom floor also needs to consider the mooring arrangement on the deck 2. Therefore, when selecting the crane position, it is necessary to avoid the use area of ​​the mooring part first, and also to consider the distance of the personnel walking passage 800mm, all of which need to be reserved. After comprehensive consideration, the base position of the crane is suitable for the midship position. Figure 1 This is the layout of the mooring and crane on deck 2.

[0034] Since the base cylinder 1 spans three decks 2, the base cylinder 1 is 6.3m high. The cylinder strength at the bottom of the base needs to be transferred to the structure of the living area. In this embodiment, a reinforced transition structure at the height of the bottom deck 2 is made with the help of the structure of the living area. The T-shaped structure is used for the upper two layers. After structural finite element calculation, the strength requirements are met. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section in the middle AA direction; the high-strength plate is replaced at the contact position between the base cylinder 1 and the deck 2, and the back side is reinforced with a large-sized high-strength plate.

[0035] The boom assembly includes a main boom member, a secondary boom member and a crane rope guide member. The main boom member is arranged on the reinforced base, the secondary boom member is arranged on the main boom member, and the crane rope guide member is arranged on the main boom member and the secondary boom member. The main boom member includes a main boom 3 and a first push-pull cylinder 4. One end of the main boom 3 is hinged on the top surface of the reinforced base, the bottom end of the first push-pull cylinder 4 is hinged on the top surface of the reinforced base, and the top end of the first push-pull cylinder 4 is hinged on the side wall of the main boom 3 to push and pull the main boom 3 so that the main boom 3 rotates around the hinge point. Further, the main boom 3 is in the shape of a rectangular groove to provide support for the secondary boom member. Further, the first push-pull cylinder 4 is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push-pull cylinder.

[0036] The secondary boom member includes a secondary boom position adjustment member, a secondary boom inclination adjustment member, a secondary boom 20 and a top locking member. The secondary boom position adjustment member and the top locking member are both arranged on the main boom member, the secondary boom inclination adjustment member is arranged on the secondary boom position adjustment member, and the secondary boom 20 is arranged on the secondary boom inclination adjustment member.

[0037] The secondary suspension position adjustment member includes a screw rod 5, a motor 6, a nut 7 and a power transmission block 8. Both ends of the screw rod 5 are rotatably mounted with a rotation support seat 9. The screw rod 5 is fixedly mounted on both ends of a groove wall of the main suspension arm 3 through the rotation support seats 9 at both ends, and the axis of the screw rod 5 is parallel to the longitudinal line of the main suspension arm 3, so that the screw rod 5 is circumferentially rotated and axially locked on the main suspension arm 3. The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the main suspension arm 3, and the rotating shaft of the motor 6 is transmission-connected with one end of the screw rod 5 to drive the screw rod 5 to rotate. The nut 7 is fitted on the screw rod 5, and the power transmission block 8 is in the shape of a rectangular block. One end of the power transmission block 8 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the nut 7, and the other end of the power transmission block 8 cooperates to pass through the first transmission through hole on the groove wall of the main suspension arm 3 and extends into the groove of the main suspension arm 3. The first transmission through hole is in the shape of a long strip hole, and the longitudinal direction of the first transmission through hole is parallel to the axis of the screw rod 5. When the motor 6 drives the screw rod 5 to rotate, it drives the nut to slide back and forth along the axial direction, thereby adjusting the height of the secondary boom 20 on the main boom 3.

[0038] Furthermore, two sets of the secondary suspension position adjustment parts are provided, and the two sets of the secondary suspension position adjustment parts are symmetrically distributed on the groove walls on both sides of the main suspension arm 3, so as to coordinately provide push-pull force to the secondary suspension arm 20, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the push-pull process.

[0039] The secondary suspension tilt angle adjustment member includes a secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 and a second push-pull cylinder 11. The secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 is in the shape of a rectangular groove. The outer wall width of the groove of the secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 is smaller than the inner wall width of the groove of the main suspension arm 3. The secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 is axially slidably embedded in the groove of the main suspension arm 3, and the groove walls on both sides of the secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the other end of the power transmission block 8 of the two sets of secondary suspension position adjustment members. The bottom end of the second push-pull cylinder 11 is hinged to the bottom end of the groove of the secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10, and the top end of the second push-pull cylinder 11 passes through the second transmission through hole on the bottom surface of the groove of the secondary suspension tilt angle slide 10 and is hinged to the secondary suspension arm 20. Furthermore, the second push-pull cylinder 11 is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push-pull cylinder.

[0041] The top locking member includes a locking and fixing tube 12, a magnetic coil, a locking shaft and a locking auxiliary tube 13. The side wall of the locking and fixing tube 12 is fixedly arranged on the groove wall on one side of the other end of the main boom 3, and the axis of the locking and fixing tube 12 is perpendicular to the main boom 3. The magnetic coil is fixedly embedded in the spiral groove on the inner wall of the locking and fixing tube 12. The locking shaft is axially slidably embedded in the locking and fixing tube 12. The side wall of the locking auxiliary tube 13 is fixedly arranged on the groove wall on the other side of the main boom 3, and the axis of the locking auxiliary tube 13 coincides with the axis of the locking and fixing tube 12. When the magnetic coil is fed with direct current to generate a magnetic field, one end of the locking shaft will be pushed into the locking auxiliary tube 13.

[0042] It should be noted that when the lifting needs to extend the main boom 3 and the secondary boom 20 to the maximum length in combination to meet the lifting requirements: after the second push-pull cylinder 11 is retracted to the predetermined position, the axis of the secondary boom 20 tends to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the secondary lifting tilt slide 10; then the secondary lifting position adjustment part is started to push the secondary lifting tilt slide 10 to the predetermined position at the other end of the main boom 3; finally, the top locking part is started to lock the secondary boom 20 on the main boom 3 through the locking shaft, and through the synergistic effect of the locking shaft, the first push-pull cylinder 4, the second push-pull cylinder 11 and the screw 5, the carrying capacity of the chemical tanker ship crane is improved.

[0043] When the chemical tanker crane is not in use and needs to be folded and stored on the deck 2: after the second push-pull cylinder 11 is retracted to a predetermined position, the axis of the secondary boom 20 tends to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the secondary boom tilt slide 10; then the secondary boom position adjustment part is started to push the secondary boom tilt slide 10 to a predetermined position at the bottom end of the main boom 3, so as to shorten the common extension length of the secondary boom 20 and the main boom 3, and reduce the area of ​​the deck 2 for parking the chemical tanker crane.

[0044] The rope guide member of the crane includes a motor, a drum, a first guide rope pulley group 14, a second guide rope pulley group 15, a third guide wheel pulley group 16, a wire rope 17, a movable pulley 18 and a hook 19.
