[0031] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0032] The tower crane of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] The utility model provides a tower crane, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tower crane includes:
[0034] The tower arm mechanism comprises a balancing arm 11, an arm root section 12 hinged to the balancing arm 11, and a luffing cylinder 13 arranged between the balancing arm 11 and the arm root section 12;
[0035] The oil cylinder locking mechanism 2 comprises an outer locking rod 21 hingedly arranged on one of the balance arm 11 and the arm root section 12 and an inner locking rod 22 hingedly arranged on the other one. A hollow passage is arranged in the outer locking rod 21, and the hollow passage extends along the rod length direction of the outer locking rod 21. An opening communicating with the hollow passage is arranged at one end of the outer locking rod 21 facing the inner locking rod 22. An end of the inner locking rod 22 facing the outer locking rod 21 passes through the opening and is movably arranged in the hollow passage. The hollow passage can partially or completely accommodate the inner locking rod 22.
[0036] Among them, the outer side wall of the outer locking rod 21 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 211 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rod. The plurality of locking holes 211 are respectively connected to the hollow channels and horizontally penetrate the outer locking rod 21. The inner locking rod 22 is provided with a locking structure for aligning and connecting with the locking holes 211.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the outer locking rod 21 is preferably hinged on the balance arm 11 , and the inner locking rod 22 is preferably hinged on the arm root section 12 .
[0038] The tower crane in the utility model can avoid the reduction of the strength of the inner locking rod 22 caused by opening a hole in the inner locking rod 22 by setting the locking hole 211 on the outer locking rod 21. At the same time, since the spatial size of the outer locking rod 21 is not limited, the size of the outer locking rod 21 can be increased to compensate for the reduction of the structural strength caused by the opening of the outer locking rod 21, thereby ensuring the support strength of the outer locking rod 21. Furthermore, by hingedly connecting the outer locking rod 21 to the balance arm 11 and the inner locking rod 22 to the boom root section 12, when the amplitude change angle of the boom root section 12 is small, the position of the locking structure is close to the end of the balance arm 11 hinged by the outer locking rod 21. At this time, the operator can realize the locking operation of the locking structure and the locking hole 211 by standing on the walkway of the balance arm 11, avoiding the need for the operator to climb to the height of the outer locking rod 21, which is convenient for the operator to operate.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, the locking structure can be a locking portion 221 arranged at the end of the inner locking rod 22 facing one end of the outer locking rod 21, and a locking groove 222 is provided on the locking portion 221, and the groove length direction of the locking groove 222 is perpendicular to the rod length direction, wherein the rod length direction is the same as the extension direction of the inner locking rod 22 in the hollow channel, and the locking groove 222 penetrates the locking portion 221 along the groove length direction and can be selectively aligned with one of the locking holes 211, and the cylinder locking mechanism 2 also includes a locking member, which is used to connect the aligned locking groove 222 and the locking hole 211. The groove length direction of the locking groove 222 can be the same as the horizontal direction of the outer locking rod 21. The alignment of the locking groove 222 and the locking hole 211 means that in the horizontal direction, the locking groove 222 and the locking hole 211 are aligned. The locking member passes through the aligned locking groove 222 and the locking hole 211, and the inner locking rod 22 can be locked in the direction of extending into the hollow channel to prevent the inner locking rod 22 from further extending into the hollow channel. At the same time, in order to reduce the weight of the inner locking rod 22, the inner locking rod 22 is preferably set as a hollow tubular rod frame. In order to prevent the end of the inner locking rod 22 of the tubular rod frame from being squeezed and deformed when being locked, the locking portion 221 can preferably be set as a solid block structure.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the locking groove 222 is arranged at the end of the inner locking rod 22, so that when the amplitude variation angle of the arm root section 12 is small, the locking groove 222 is positioned closer to one end of the outer locking rod 21 hinged to the balance arm 11.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a through hole may be used instead of the locking groove 222 to achieve the same locking effect.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, an auxiliary locking hole 224 can also be provided on the inner locking rod 22. The auxiliary locking hole 224 is used when the locking groove 222 is aligned with one of the locking holes 211, or aligned with one of the locking holes 211 during tower crane transportation. The locking member can also penetrate the aligned auxiliary locking hole 224 and the locking hole 211. By providing the auxiliary locking hole 224, the original fixing method of a single locking member penetrating and locking can be changed to a fixing method of at least two groups of locking members penetrating and locking between the outer locking rod 21 and the inner locking rod 22. Multiple locking positions can increase the locking stability between the outer locking rod 21 and the inner locking rod 22. At the same time, since the locking groove 222 can only limit the displacement of the inner locking rod 22 in one direction, by providing the auxiliary locking hole 224, the inner locking rod 22 can be prevented from sliding out of the opening of the hollow channel during tower crane transportation.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple locking members, and the locking members may be pins, locking rods, and the like.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the other end of the inner locking rod 22 is provided with a first hinged mounting portion 223, and the first hinged mounting portion 223 is provided with a first hinged hole 223a for hinged connection with the arm root section 12. By providing the first hinged mounting portion 223, hinged connection with the arm root section 12 is facilitated.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first hinged mounting portion 223 is an ear plate structure, and is preferably a double ear plate.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the locking portion 221 and the first hinged mounting portion 223 can be mounted on both ends of the inner locking rod 22 by welding.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the outer locking rod 21 may also be provided with a pin frame 212, and the pin frame 212 is used to place the pin. Specifically, the pin frame 212 includes two clamping plates arranged in parallel with each other, and the two clamping plates are provided with a plurality of pin clamping hole groups arranged in an aligned manner, and the pin can pass through the pin clamping hole groups to achieve the placement of the pin.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a second hinged mounting portion 213 is provided at one end of the outer locking rod 21 away from the opening, and a second hinged mounting portion 213a is provided on the second hinged mounting portion 213 for hinged connection with the balance arm 11. The outer locking rod 21 may also be a hollow tubular rod frame, that is, the hollow channel may completely penetrate the outer locking rod 21, and the second hinged mounting portion 213 is used to block the end of the outer locking rod 21. By providing the second hinged mounting portion 213 at the end of the outer locking rod 21, it is convenient to hinge with the balance arm 11.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second hinged mounting portion 213 is an ear plate structure, and is preferably a double ear plate.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the outer wall of the outer locking rod 21 is also provided with a climbing staircase 214. By providing the climbing staircase 214, when the locking groove 222 and the locking hole 211 are aligned at a higher position, it is convenient for personnel to climb to a high position of the outer locking rod 21 to operate.
[0051] like Figure 1As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, a walking passage is provided inside the balancing arm 11, and a walkway is provided at the bottom of the walking passage, which extends to the vicinity of the climbing stairs 214. People can reach the vicinity of the climbing stairs 214 through the walkway to adjust the cylinder locking mechanism 2.
[0052] In summary, the cylinder locking mechanism 2 in the utility model has a high structural strength, and when the arm root section 12 has a small amplitude variation angle, a person can perform the locking operation of the cylinder locking mechanism 2 by simply standing on the walkway of the balance arm 11. Therefore, in some usage scenarios, the technical problem of the cumbersome operation of the cylinder locking mechanism 2 can be solved.
