Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lifting tools, and more particularly to a safe and efficient lifting tool for super-large cylindrical parts. Background Art

[0002] In energy sectors like nuclear power, petrochemicals, and hydropower, large, thick-walled cylindrical parts serve as core components of critical technical equipment. They are also widely used in the manufacture of liquid or gas storage tanks, pressure vessels, and pipelines. After forging, these parts typically undergo multiple heat treatments, including normalizing and tempering, followed by overall quenching and secondary tempering. Furthermore, these parts require multiple machining operations on both the exterior and interior surfaces using vertical lathes, necessitating frequent lifting and transport throughout the manufacturing process.

[0003] However, the traditional lifting method for ultra-large thick-walled cylindrical parts generally uses horizontal lifting with wire ropes, which not only fails to meet the needs of vertical processing of cylindrical parts, but also has problems such as lifting and unloading difficulties during lifting and transportation, and unstable posture of cylindrical parts during lifting, which easily causes swinging and shaking, affecting production efficiency and posing a huge safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, a wedge-shaped groove for accommodating a slider for unloading the cylindrical part is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the upper tightening sleeve for unloading the cylindrical part.

[0008] Preferably, a return spring is sleeved on the lower pull rod, the upper end of the return spring is connected to the lower support seat, and the lower end of the return spring is connected to the upper tightening sleeve for unloading the cylindrical member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of an exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see the attached Figure 1-7 , which is a safe and efficient lifting tool for super-large cylindrical parts disclosed in the present invention, can ensure the stability of the roller running trajectory and running posture during the lifting process.

[0021] The main body of this safe and efficient lifting tool consists of an upper hoisting hollow column 13, an intermediate connecting hollow column 7, and a lower support base 2, all of which are connected sequentially from top to bottom via their own threaded holes. A cylinder 17 is installed at the top of the upper hoisting hollow column 13, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 17 is connected to the intermediate pull rod 12. The cylinder 17 and the intermediate pull rod 12 are arranged along the axis of the upper hoisting hollow column 13 and the intermediate connecting hollow column 7.

[0022] More than two groups of tightening devices are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the upper hanging hollow column 13 and the hollow column 7 connected in the middle of the lifting device. Preferably, three groups of tightening devices are provided, and multiple layers of tightening devices are provided along the axial direction of the upper hanging hollow column 13.

[0023] A plunger connecting rod sleeve 14 and a position adjusting rod sleeve 11 are provided on the middle rod 12. The tightening device is movably connected to the middle rod 12 through the plunger connecting rod sleeve 14 and the position adjusting rod sleeve 11. The plunger connecting rod sleeve 14 and the position adjusting rod sleeve 11 are both conical structures. The inclined peripheral walls of the plunger connecting rod sleeve 14 and the position adjusting rod sleeve 11 drive multiple sets of tightening devices to be deployed and recovered.

[0024] Among them, the tightening device consists of an inner supporting tightening rod 8 and an inner tightening ring 10, which are connected by a connecting pin 9 to tighten the inner tightening ring 10 during operation to achieve the lifting of the cylindrical part 19, or to separate the inner tightening ring 10 from the cylindrical part 19 to achieve the unloading of the cylindrical part 19.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the lifting tool, the lifting lever 15 passes through the upper lifting hollow column 13, and the lifting lever connecting rod 16 passes through the lifting lever 15. The two work together to enable the device to maintain sufficient stability during the lifting process.

[0026] The lower support seat 2 of the lifting device is a whole, and has more than two slide grooves evenly opened along the circumferential direction. The groove openings of the slide grooves are arranged along the radial direction of the support seat 2. The slide grooves are used to place the slider 3 for unloading the cylindrical part. When the unloading slider 3 is placed in the slide groove, the unloading slider 3 can clamp the bottom end face of the cylindrical part 19, thereby supporting the bottom end face of the cylindrical part 19.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to improve the portability of using lifting tools, the unloading slider 3 is positioned as a movable part, and the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading the cylindrical part is installed below the lower support seat 2 of the lifting device. The upper tightening sleeve 1 is connected to the lower end of the lower pull rod 6, and the lower pull rod 6 is finally connected to the plunger connecting rod sleeve 14 through the intermediate pull rod 12.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are three sliders 3 for unloading cylindrical parts, which are evenly installed in the slide groove of the lower support seat of the lifting device along the circumference. The outer peripheral wall of the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading cylindrical parts is provided with a wedge-shaped groove for accommodating the sliders 3 for unloading cylindrical parts. The relative movement of the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading cylindrical parts and the sliders 3 for unloading can adjust the position of the sliders 3 for unloading in the slide groove. The lower pull rod 6 drives the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading cylindrical parts to move up and down so that the sliders 3 for unloading cylindrical parts can slide along the slide groove to achieve expansion and recovery.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to reduce the impact of vibration on the lifting tools and extend their service life, a reset spring 5 is provided on the lower pull rod 6, the upper end of the reset spring 5 is connected to the lower support seat 2, and the lower end of the reset spring 5 is connected to the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading the cylindrical part. The top end of the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading the cylindrical part is provided with a polyurethane buffer ring 4.

[0030] A cylinder control solenoid valve 18 is provided on the upper hanging hollow column 13, and the cylinder control solenoid valve 18 is connected to the cylinder 17. The cylinder control solenoid valve 18 controls the extension and contraction of the cylinder 17, thereby driving the plunger connecting the pull rod sleeve 14, the middle pull rod 12 and the lower pull rod 6 to reciprocate up and down.

[0031] During lifting, the cylinder control solenoid valve 18 controls the cylinder 17, driving the plunger connecting the pull rod sleeve 14, the middle pull rod 12 and the lower pull rod 6 to move downward, so that the tightening device presses the inner wall of the cylindrical part 19, and lifting is achieved under the action of friction. After the lifting is completed, the cylinder 17 controls the plunger connecting the pull rod sleeve 14, the middle pull rod 12 and the lower pull rod 6 to move upward, thereby driving the upper tightening sleeve 1 for unloading the cylindrical part to move upward, so that the slider 3 for unloading the cylindrical part is automatically retracted inward, thereby removing the lifting tool from the inner wall of the cylindrical part 19.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
