[0002] With the development of large-scale bridge projects such as those spanning seas and rivers, offshore construction is gradually trending towards prefabricated construction. The prefabricated box girder structures on bridges are constantly breaking the limits of excessive length and weight. This places higher demands on the lightweight, stability, operability, and safety of the rigging used to hoist the entire component. Each box girder is symmetrically set with four hoisting holes. The box girder and the rigging are connected by slings and hoisted as a whole by a crane vessel. The box girder is heavy and has a long lifting distance. Offshore hoisting is greatly affected by wind and waves, and alignment accuracy is difficult to control. The hoisting is time-consuming and risky. Taking into account the actual on-site construction conditions, a long prefabricated component hoisting rigging was invented to meet the lifting requirements of large-span, large-tonnage long prefabricated components at sea under different working conditions.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0028] A long prefabricated component lifting sling, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the main force-bearing mechanism includes two universal beams 11 and two truss beams 6. The two universal beams are connected by a connecting beam 4. Both ends of the universal beam are respectively provided with a lower suspension rope 5 connected to the truss beam. The upper side of the universal beam is provided with a balance adjustment mechanism, and the lower side of the truss beam is provided with a lifting connection mechanism; the balance adjustment mechanism includes a balance beam 2, the upper side of the balance beam is provided with a top suspension rope 1, and the lower side is provided with an upper suspension rope 3; the lifting connection mechanism includes an upper pressure beam 7, the upper side of the upper pressure beam is provided with a bottom suspension rope 14, and the lower side is provided with a suspension rope 8.

[0029] A supporting beam mechanism is provided at the lower end of the sling. The universal beam is approximately the length of the distance between the left and right main hooks, with a steering member 12 mounted on each side. The lower end of the upper sling rope and the upper end of the lower sling rope are attached to the steering member, respectively. For example, the steering member includes a fixed sleeve with a connecting lug hinged to at least one end of the fixed sleeve. The corresponding sling ropes are hinged to the connecting lug via a hinge axis. Lower sling ropes connected to the truss beam are symmetrically provided at both ends of the universal beam. The balance beam consists of an upper balance beam and a lower balance beam. A connecting arm is provided at the top of the lower balance beam, which is hinged to the upper balance beam via an axis.

[0030] The angles of the upper balancing beam and the lower balancing beam can be adjusted relative to each other in the vertical direction. An upper bevel 15 is provided at the lower part of the upper balancing beam, and a lower bevel 16 is provided at the upper part of the lower balancing beam to avoid interference caused by a small amount of floating between the upper balancing beam and the lower balancing beam in the vertical direction. When the upper balancing beam and the lower balancing beam float greatly in the vertical direction, contact will be formed, which will play a limiting role and limit the floating range between the upper balancing beam and the lower balancing beam.

[0031] The upper and lower balancing beams are each equipped with two shaft-threading devices for attaching slings. The balancing beam is suspended from the two main hooks on the right side via two 5m slings, while two high-strength looped slings (B) are attached to the lower balancing beam. The lower slings are looped, high-strength slings. Their high load capacity and light weight facilitate on-site installation. The two universal beams are connected on the left side by a connecting beam, and the lower slings are connected to a lightweight truss beam. The truss structure significantly reduces the weight of the rigging while ensuring lifting strength.

[0032] The lifting connection mechanism is mainly composed of two upper pressure beams, four slings and two supporting beam mechanisms. The upper pressure beams are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the truss beam through slings. A sling is installed in front and behind each upper pressure beam. The slings are made of galvanized steel wire and have the characteristics of large load and strong flexibility, which is convenient for lifting and hooking. The bottom of the sling is connected to the supporting beam mechanism 10. An anti-slip plate is set at the connection position between the supporting beam mechanism and the sling to prevent the supporting beam mechanism from being unhooked during lifting.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, a sling control mechanism 13 is also provided on the upper pressure beam. The sling control mechanism includes a generator 130, a winch 131, a distribution box, an electric hoist 132, a pulley block 133, and a rope splitter 9, which is mainly used to control the hooking and unhooking of the sling. The generator is installed in the middle position of the upper pressure beam on the right side. A winch is provided in front and behind each upper pressure beam. The wire rope below the winch is connected to the rope splitter. The rope splitter on each side is connected to two lifting ears on the support beam mechanism. Each winch is equipped with a distribution box for remotely controlling the winch to lift and lower the support beam mechanism to complete the hooking and unhooking. An electric hoist is installed in front and behind the upper pressure beam, connected to the bottom of the sling through the rope. A pulley block is provided at the top for threading the rope. By loosening and tightening the electric hoist, the sling is bent outward, so that the bottom of the sling is separated from the connection with the support beam mechanism, completing the hooking and unhooking of the sling.

[0034] The present invention meets the requirements of hoisting prefabricated box girders with ultra-large spans and large tonnages. The overall hoisting design is a "four-point vertical hoisting, three-point self-balancing" adaptive longitudinal slope light truss hoisting structure. During the hoisting process, the forces on the four points of the prefabricated box girder can be automatically balanced, while meeting the hoisting conditions of parallel state and maximum longitudinal slope of 2.5%. By designing a multifunctional mechanical automatic locking sling device, the problems of longitudinal slope installation balance and sling stability of the prefabricated box girder are solved, and the sling anti-unhooking, anti-overloading and automatic locking are realized to ensure the stability of the entire hoisting process. At the same time, the sling is designed with a remote control system for disassembly of the sling, which solves the problem of difficult disassembly of the beam support mechanism and improves the overall safety of the construction.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
