TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building machinery equipment maintenance, more particularly to a tower crane structure auxiliary maintenance device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the construction site, especially in large engineering projects such as nuclear power construction, the tower crane as the key hoisting equipment is in a long-term high-intensity and high-frequency operation state, and its structural safety is directly related to the construction safety and engineering progress. The main structure of the tower crane is composed of multiple standard sections (tower crane sections) connected by high-strength bolts. During use, the tower crane sections need to be regularly inspected, cleaned, anticorrosive and bolted for maintenance and maintenance operations.

[0003] At present, the maintenance of the tower crane section mainly relies on manual operation, which usually requires the tower crane section to be disassembled and placed on the ground.

At the same time, the rotating mechanism uses a stepper motor combined with a belt drive to accurately control the rotating plate connecting the tower crane section to rotate at a uniform speed or in steps, achieving 360° circumferential exposure of the tower crane section without dead angles, greatly facilitating the comprehensive inspection, cleaning, anti-corrosion spraying and tightening operations of the connecting bolts, welds and structural bodies, and integrating the originally cumbersome process into an integrated mechanical operation.

[0020] Secondly, in terms of system stability, the counterweight assembly adopts a multi-layer adjustable frame structure. By flexibly adding or removing counterweight blocks between different layers, it can dynamically balance the huge overturning moment generated during flipping and rotation, ensuring the structural rigidity and smooth operation of the entire device under load conditions, and fundamentally eliminating safety hazards.

[0021] Finally, regarding the equipment's mobility, the innovative rolling assembly integrates a retractable wheel mechanism. By sliding the inner cylinder to adjust the relative position of the top wheel within the top plate's storage cavity, the device can quickly switch between "mobile" and "fixed" operating modes. During mobile operation, the wheel supports lift the frame off the ground, facilitating towing and transportation by manpower or equipment. When fixed, the frame securely touches the ground, forming a stable working platform. This design greatly enhances the equipment's flexibility and site adaptability, reduces the need for other on-site lifting equipment, and optimizes the allocation of construction resources.

[0029] Preferably, a counterweight assembly 2 is also installed on the base 1. The counterweight assembly 2 increases the weight of the base 1, which facilitates the stable operation of the auxiliary maintenance device.

[0030] Preferably, the counterweight assembly 2 comprises a counterweight frame 21, the counterweight frame 21 comprising a first support horizontal plate 2101, a second support horizontal plate 2102 and a third support horizontal plate 2103 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the third support horizontal plate 2103 being lapped on the base 1; the first support horizontal plate 2101 and the second support horizontal plate 2102 are fixedly connected between the left ends thereof through a first support vertical plate, the second support horizontal plate 2102 and the third support horizontal plate 2103 are fixedly connected between the right ends thereof through a second support vertical plate, the right end of the side surface of the first support horizontal plate 2101 and the second support horizontal plate 2102 is respectively provided with a sliding groove, the left end of the side surface of the second support horizontal plate 2102 and the third support horizontal plate 2103 is respectively provided with a sliding groove, the two sliding grooves are slidably connected with a baffle 22, and the counterweight pieces 23 are arranged between the first support horizontal plate 2101 and the second support horizontal plate 2102 and between the second support horizontal plate 2102 and the third support horizontal plate 2103.

In the embodiment, the counterweight pieces 23 can specifically be a discarded reinforcing bar section, a steel plate, an iron block or the like, which can be selected by the construction personnel according to the site conditions.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom of the third support horizontal plate 2103 is welded with a moving seat 24, and the moving seat 24 is installed with a rolling assembly 25; the base 1 is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the moving seat 24.

A plurality of positioning holes are formed in the top plate 26, and the moving seat 24 is threadedly connected with a positioning bolt 27 inserted into the positioning holes. The outer wall of the inner cylinder 2502 is provided with an anti-falling ring platform 2504, and the top and bottom of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2501 are provided with limiting plates 2503 for preventing the anti-falling ring platform 2504 from sliding out.

[0034] When the counterweight assembly 2 is used, the counterweight frame 21 after the rolling assembly 25 is ejected is first moved to the base 1, and then the counterweight 23 is placed between the first support plate 2101 and the second support plate 2102 of the counterweight frame 21 and between the second support plate 2102 and the third support plate 2103, and then the baffle 22 is inserted to prevent the counterweight 23 from sliding out; then the top plate 26 is moved until the rotating wheel at the top of the rolling assembly 25 slides into the receiving cavity 28 of the top plate 26, and then the bottom of the third support plate 2103 of the counterweight frame 21 is pressed on the base 1, thereby increasing the weight of the rear end of the entire device and preventing the center of gravity from shifting and the device from toppling after the tower crane section 7 is installed.

Then the step motor is started, the rotating plate 5 and the tower crane section 7 are driven to rotate circumferentially through the belt 6, so that all surfaces of the tower crane section 7 are exposed, facilitating detection, cleaning, corrosion prevention, and bolt tightening. The counterweight assembly 2 can flexibly increase or decrease the counterweight 23 according to the actual load to balance the moment generated during the turning and rotating process, ensuring the stability of the entire machine. When the device needs to be moved, the rolling assembly 25 is adjusted so that the rotating wheel at the top of the inner cylinder 2502 is separated from the receiving cavity 28 of the top plate 26, and the rotating wheel at the bottom contacts the ground, so that the counterweight frame 21 and the entire machine can be pushed to move; when working, the rotating wheel is retracted, and the counterweight frame 21 is stably seated on the base 1.
