Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steel wire rope pre-tightening in crane hoisting operation, and in particular relates to a steel wire rope pre-tightening device for a crawler crane. Background Art

[0002] A crawler crane is a mobile jib crane equipped with a crawler running device. It consists of a boom, a turntable and other metal structures, a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a luffing mechanism and a running mechanism. The lifting mechanism and the luffing mechanism use a drum to wind the steel rope, and the lifting device is raised and lowered and the boom is pitched and luffed through a complex pulley set. The lifting motor drives the drum to rotate through a coupling and a hollow shaft of a reducer, so that the wire rope or cable wound on the drum drives the hook device to rise or fall. Before using the lifting mechanism, the wire rope needs to be wound around the drum. The winding method is to control the rotation of the motor connected to the drum to rotate the drum, so that the wire rope is gradually wound around the drum. Under the condition of multi-layer winding, the inner wire rope may become loose, and the loose inner layer will be squeezed or clamped to the groove wall due to the extrusion of the outer layer. In this way, all the wire ropes will be crushed and flattened prematurely due to the "load" of the top layer, greatly shortening the service life of the wire rope. In addition, it is easy to cause the upper wire rope to be pressed into the lower layer, and then cause the wire rope to be tangled. Therefore, a certain correct pre-tightening force is applied to the wire rope when winding the rope to ensure that the wire rope is neatly and tightly wound in the winch, which can avoid the phenomenon of rope clamping, rope tangling, etc., reduce wire rope wear, extend the service life of the wire rope, and avoid safety hazards during lifting.
