Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of marine engineering crane equipment, in particular to a rotary locking device and an offshore platform crane. Background Art

[0002] Offshore platform cranes are usually installed on offshore platforms or ships and are used for cargo transfer between platforms, ships and docks. They are important equipment in marine production. Offshore platform cranes are used outdoors in the open air in a marine environment. When in operation, the wind force usually does not exceed level 6. When not in operation, they are often in strong winds. In extreme conditions, the wind speed can reach 55m / s, or about level 15, which exerts a great force on the crane cantilever. In addition, in windy weather, the offshore platform will also shake, and the shaking of the platform will also exert a great force on the crane cantilever. In order to prevent the cantilever from swinging, shaking or even rotating abnormally, the locking device of the crane cantilever has high requirements in terms of reliability, maintainability, wind resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0003] The existing slewing locking device of the offshore crane is usually realized by relying on the self-locking property of the worm gear reducer installed at the bottom of the cantilever.

[0004] The self-locking property of the worm gear reducer is used to lock the position of the cantilever, which has low reliability. It may sway and rotate in severe windy environments, and in severe cases, the slewing reducer may be damaged, posing a serious safety hazard to the platform equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the existing slewing locking device of the offshore crane is unreliable and easy to damage, and provides a slewing locking device with high reliability and stable performance, which can keep the crane cantilever in the best windproof and anti-corrosion position.

[0006] The solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is:

[0007] A slewing car locking device comprises a locking base, a locking ear plate and a locking pin. The locking base is mounted on the lower plane of the lower connecting plate of the slewing reducer, and a first pin hole is arranged at the front part thereof, which is used to lock the position of the lower connecting plate; the locking ear plate is mounted on the upper plane of the upper connecting plate of the slewing reducer, and a second pin hole is arranged at the front part thereof, which is used to lock the position of the upper connecting plate; the locking pin is inserted into the first pin hole of the locking base and the second pin hole of the locking ear plate, which is used to connect the locking base and the locking ear plate, and lock the position of the cantilever.

[0008] Positive effects:

[0009] The utility model connects the locking ear plate on the upper connecting plate of the slewing reducer, installs the locking base on the lower connecting plate, and inserts the locking pin shaft between the locking ear plate and the locking base to fix the locking ear plate and the locking base, thereby locking the slewing device. The utility model has a simple structure, can reliably lock the crane cantilever, can be installed on the existing mounting holes of the crane, does not add new anchor points, and is easy to install. Since the mounting holes on the upper and lower connecting plates of the crane are distributed in a range of 360°, the locking position can be adjusted in a range of 360°, and the crane cantilever is kept in the best windproof and anti-corrosion position, which is suitable for use as a slewing locking device.

During installation, first select the cantilever locking position according to the on-site wind protection, corrosion protection and use of the crane. According to the cantilever locking position, determine the installation position of the locking device. The lower connecting plate 41 of the slewing reducer usually has mounting holes evenly distributed along the circumference. According to the selected locking position, a suitable mounting hole is selected on the lower connecting plate 41 of the slewing reducer, and corresponding bolt holes are provided on the locking base 10. The locking base 10 is installed on the selected mounting hole of the lower connecting plate 41 of the slewing reducer through the first bolt assembly 14.

[0034] Preferably, the locking base 10 is assembled using the original mounting holes on the lower connecting plate 41 of the reducer, without adding new anchor points or changing the original state of the crane, making installation easier.

[0035] Preferably, three mounting holes are selected on the lower connecting plate 41 of the reducer, and the locking base 10 uses three bolt holes to install bolts to form a triangular stable structure, making the structure more solid.

The locking pin 30 is inserted into the second shaft sleeve 22, and the height of the second shaft sleeve 22 is greater than the thickness of the second pin hole 21, which increases the connection length of the locking pin 30; the second shaft sleeve 22 and the ear plate 20 are connected by welding or bolts, which is used to make the connection between the locking pin 30 and the locking ear plate 20 more secure.

[0038] Preferably, the locking ear plate 20 is installed using the original installation holes of the connecting plate 42 on the reducer, without adding new anchor points or changing the original state of the crane, making installation easier.
