Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, specifically to a multi-purpose tower crane and a method for using the same, which is particularly suitable for the integrated operation of concrete delivery and vertical transportation in high-rise buildings, aiming to reduce dependence on dedicated concrete delivery equipment and lower construction costs. Background Art

[0002] In construction, it is necessary to equip tower cranes, concrete mixer trucks, concrete pump trucks and other construction machinery; Tower cranes are the most commonly used lifting equipment on construction sites. They are primarily used for vertical transportation in high-rise buildings. They typically consist of a tower body, boom, counter-jib, tower cap, foundation, slewing mechanism, traveling mechanism, lifting mechanism, and electrical system. They can be flexibly deployed at different construction sites to adapt to various complex building environments. A concrete mixer truck is a specialized truck used to transport concrete for construction. Due to its appearance, it is often called a "snail truck." These trucks are equipped with a cylindrical mixing drum to carry the mixed concrete. The drum rotates constantly during transportation to prevent the concrete from solidifying. A concrete pump truck is a type of concrete pump that is mounted on a vehicle chassis and equipped with a retractable or flexible placing boom. A concrete pump truck is a type of concrete pump that is mounted on a vehicle chassis and equipped with a retractable or flexible placing boom. A concrete pump truck is also what we usually call a boom pump. Therefore, discussing the difference between a concrete pump and a concrete pump truck is also discussing the difference between a concrete pump and a boom pump. During construction, a concrete pump truck is needed to transport the concrete in the concrete mixer truck to the top of the building. On the one hand, with the real estate market disappearing, it is obviously not economical to equip a concrete pump truck. On the other hand, the concrete pump truck cannot reach the height required for ultra-high floors. In addition, at the end of many projects, after the concrete pump truck has left the site, it is discovered that some concrete still needs to be transported to the upper floors. In this case, the concrete pump truck has to be arranged to enter the site again, which increases construction expenses. Summary of the Invention

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-purpose tower crane, which includes a tower body 1, a boom 2, a balance arm 3, a tower head 4, a slewing mechanism 5, a traveling mechanism 6, a lifting mechanism 7 and a concrete conveying system; the tower body 1 is composed of a number of standard sections 8, each of which is fixed with a concrete conveying pipe 9 on the inside, and adjacent conveying pipes 9 are connected by quick connectors 10, 11; the slewing mechanism 5 is equipped with a conveying pump 12, the inlet of which is connected to the tower top conveying pipe 9, and the outlet is connected to the concrete conveying hose 14; the boom 2 is a horizontal pulling steel cable 13, and the concrete conveying hose 14 is suspended on the steel cable 13 through a pulley, and the front end is fixed to the traveling mechanism 6; the quick connectors 10, 11 are male and female structures, and the male head 11 is inserted into the female head 10 and locked by a buckle, and the sealing ring ensures that there is no leakage at the connection. Leakage; a clamp-type ultrasonic flowmeter 15 is installed at the front end of the concrete delivery hose 14 to monitor the flow in real time and feed it back to the control system, with a flow accuracy error of ≤±1%; an adsorption block 17 is provided at the front end of the hose fixing trolley 16, and an electromagnetic card slot 18 is provided at the rear end of the walking mechanism 6; after the electromagnetic device is energized, the adsorption block 17 and the card slot 18 are locked, and the drag force is ≥500N; the steel cable 13 is installed with clips with rollers at intervals of 1-2 meters, and the rollers are made of nylon or polyurethane with a friction coefficient of ≤0.1; the delivery pump 12 is a hydraulically driven plunger pump with a maximum delivery pressure of 10MPa and an adjustable delivery range of 5-50m³ / h; the inner diameter of the concrete delivery pipe 9 of the standard section 8 is 100-200 mm, the wall thickness is 5-10 mm, and the pressure resistance level is ≥2.5MPa.

[0029] Working process and principle: During the construction of the tower crane, the construction of the standard section 8 is gradually completed with the help of the sleeve. During the construction process, it is necessary to ensure that the quick-connect male head of the upper standard section 8 is aligned with the quick-connect female head of the lower standard section 8 to ensure that the adjacent concrete delivery pipes 9 are securely connected. The slewing mechanism 5 is installed on the delivery pump 12, and the quick-connect female head 10 of the uppermost concrete delivery pipe 9 is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 12. The rear end of the concrete delivery hose 14 hung on the steel cable 13 is connected to the outlet of the delivery pump 12, and the front end is installed on the walking mechanism 6. In this way, when pouring is required, it is only necessary to connect the concrete mixer truck to the lowermost concrete delivery pipe 9, and the slewing mechanism 5 cooperates with the walking mechanism 6 to bring the front end of the concrete delivery hose 14 to the place where pouring is required. Start the delivery pump 12, and the concrete will pass through the concrete delivery pipe 9, delivery pump 12, and concrete delivery hose 14 in sequence and be poured at the destination, eliminating the rental link of the concrete delivery pump 12 and reducing construction expenses.

[0030] 1. Tower crane construction and pipeline connection 1) Install the standard sections 8 one by one, ensuring that the upper quick-connect male connector 11 is accurately inserted into the lower quick-connect female connector 10 to form a continuous conveying pipeline.

[0031] 2) The bottom layer of the delivery pipe 9 is connected to the outlet of the concrete mixer truck, and the top layer is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 12.

[0032] 2. Concrete delivery process 1) Start the delivery pump 12 and pump the concrete through the delivery pipe 9 to the delivery hose 14 of the crane arm 2.

[0033] 2) The traveling mechanism 6 drives the front end of the hose to move to the pouring point, and the clamp-on flow meter 15 monitors the flow in real time.

[0034] 3) After pouring is completed, the delivery pump 12 is switched to the cleaning mode, and water flows to flush the pipes and hoses until the flow meter 15 shows that the cleaning standard is met.

[0035] 3. Hose fixing and resetting 1) When not in operation, the traveling mechanism 6 retreats to the vicinity of the slewing mechanism 5, and the adsorption block 17 and the locking slot 18 are electromagnetically locked.

[0036] 2) Drag the hose fixing trolley 16 to the target position. After the electromagnetic device is powered off, the hose is reset to avoid bending damage. Example

[0037] Take the construction of a super high-rise building as an example: 1) The tower crane is 300 meters high, has 150 standard sections (8), and a conveying pipe (9) with a total length of 300 meters.

[0038] 2) The single concrete delivery volume is 10 cubic meters, the delivery time is 15 minutes, and the delivery height error is less than ±0.5 meters.

[0039] 3) Save approximately RMB 2 million in concrete pump truck rental costs during the construction period.

[0040] Anything not described in detail in the present invention is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be derived by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the concepts of the present invention and the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
