[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] As shown in the figure, a special lifting device for the top of a storage tank includes a truss 1, a lifting control box 2 installed on the truss 1, a traveling unit 4 installed at the bottom of the truss 1 and a track 3 installed on the top of the storage tank 5. The traveling unit 4 moves along the track 3 to drive the truss 1 to rotate and perform lifting from different positions.

[0029] A support rod 11 is provided at one end of the truss 1. A sleeve or a bearing group is provided at the top center of the storage tank 5 to connect with the support rod 11. The connection method of the support rod 11 can be selected according to the project cycle. The other end of the truss 1 extends out of the outer wall of the storage tank 5, and the extension distance of the truss 1 is preferably 0.4m-0.5m. A guide roller 12 is provided at the end of the truss 1 extending out of the storage tank 5. During hoisting, the wire rope 6 is pressed on the guide roller 12 to prevent the wire rope 6 from deflecting when hoisting materials, thereby improving the stability of the hoisting process and reducing the wear caused by the friction between the wire rope 6 and the truss 1 during the hoisting process.

[0030] A first bracket is provided above the truss 1, and the first bracket is fixedly installed at 1 / 2 of the truss 1 by welding, and a hoisting control box 2 is installed on the first bracket. A hoisting winch and a control box are provided in the hoisting control box 2. The hoisting winch retracts and releases the steel wire rope 6 by rotating, and the steel wire rope 6 is used to hoist the objects to be hoisted. If the load of the tower top support is met, the hoisting winch can be flexibly selected. The hoisting winch is a prior art and will not be described in detail; the hoisting winch is electrically connected to the control box, and the control box controls the hoisting winch to retract and release the steel wire rope 6. The effective hoisting length of the steel wire rope 6 is greater than the net height of the storage tank 5 by more than 5m.

[0031] A walking unit 4 is arranged below the truss 1, and the walking unit 4 includes a walking motor 42 and a bottom wheel 43. The walking unit 4 is arranged near the edge of the storage tank 5. The walking unit 4 takes the support rod 11 as the center of the circle, and the distance from the support rod 11 to the walking unit 4 is the rotation radius. The walking unit 4 goes around the top of the storage tank 5 to adjust the hoisting position. As an embodiment of the utility model, the bottom wheel 43 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the walking motor 42, and the walking motor drives the bottom wheel to move around the support rod. As another embodiment of the utility model, the walking unit 4 also includes a fixed bracket 41, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the truss 1, and the walking motor 42 and the bottom wheel 43 are installed in the fixed bracket 41, and the bottom wheel is multiple. As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the fixed bracket 41 is triangular and has good stability. The bottom wheels 43 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed bracket 41, and a second bracket is arranged in the fixed bracket 41, and the walking motor 42 is fixedly installed on the second bracket. The walking motor 42 can be connected to the bottom wheel 43 through a gear set or a V-belt to control the rotation of the bottom wheel 43. The following is an overview of the technical solution using a V-belt for connection. As shown in the figure, a driving gear 44 is provided on the output shaft of the travel motor 42, and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the travel motor 42 through a convex key; a driven gear 45 is coaxially provided with the bottom wheel 43, and is fixedly connected to the bottom wheel 43 through a convex key. A synchronous belt 46 is provided on the outer sleeve of the driving gear 44, and the gears are engaged in the synchronous belt 46. The travel motor 42 drives the synchronous belt 46 to transmit, and the synchronous belt 46 drives the driven gear 45 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the bottom wheel 43. The remote control device is connected to the signal of the travel motor 42 to control the travel unit 4 to move forward, backward, stop, brake, etc.

[0032] Along the walking track of the bottom wheel 43, a track 3 is provided below the walking unit 4. The track 3 is concentrically arranged with the top of the storage tank 5 to limit the moving track of the bottom wheel 43. The track 3 can be connected to the top of the tank by welding or bolting. The track 3 is preferably a single steel rail. A groove is provided in the bottom wheel 43. The bottom wheel 43 is sleeved on the track 3 to limit the movement of the roller. In addition, during hoisting, the load-bearing load mainly acts on the overall track 3, which is evenly distributed on the top of the storage tank 5, and can be used easily and safely within the specified load. When the arc-shaped top storage tank 5 is processed and it is inconvenient to install the track, the track can be installed without installing it, and the bottom wheel abuts against the top of the storage tank 5.

[0033] The device is suitable for large flat-top and curved-top storage tanks 5, and the device is not affected by fences or other equipment installed on the edge of the storage tank 5. The fence can be avoided by raising the height of the support rod 11, and the device has strong applicability.

[0034] During installation, calculate whether the tank top load meets the maximum load requirements for lifting. If not, reinforce the tank top; calculate the center of the tank top by measurement, set the support rod 11, and determine the layout point of the track 3 through the center; set the travel unit 4 and the track 3 according to the rotation radius, and temporarily fix them; fix the truss 1 and the travel unit 4, power on and debug whether the travel unit 4 runs according to the track 3, and after the adjustment, reinforce the travel unit 4, truss 1 and support rod 11; install the lifting control box 2 on the first bracket of the truss 1, and debug the lifting winch; carry out a load test after debugging, and put it into use after passing the test.

[0035] When in use, the remote control device controls the walking unit 4 to rotate the truss 1 around the top of the storage tank 5 with the support rod 11 as the center, which is convenient for adjusting the lifting position. The remote control device controls the lifting winch to lift the wire rope 6 to adjust the height of the material, which is convenient for material transportation and installation.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
