Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tower cranes, in particular to a female joint for connecting standard sections of tower cranes, a standard section and a tower crane. Background Art
[0002] Tower cranes are referred to as tower cranes. They are usually used in the construction field. The tower body of a tower crane is usually composed of multiple standard sections stacked in sequence. Two adjacent standard sections are connected by pins or bolts through male and female joints. The tower standard section requires that the main chord strength is sufficient to support the upper tower body, especially the main chord pin connection or bolt connection strength is more important.
[0003] At present, when the main chords of the round tenon standard section are connected by a pin, the main chord is connected by opening a hole at the pin, which weakens the local strength at the pin hole. In the existing design scheme of the main chord of the tower body, in order to locally strengthen the pin hole of the main chord, a thick plate is usually added as a female joint and welded to the main body of the main chord. However, there is a sudden change in the cross section at the welding point where the female joint and the main chord are connected, resulting in a large stress concentration, which affects the fatigue life of the weld. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a female joint for connecting the standard section of a tower crane, which is used to connect the male joint and the main chord. The female joint is cylindrical, with a matching portion at one end and a male joint matching surface at the other end. A through pin hole is provided on the side of the female joint, and a male joint matching groove is also provided at the end with the male joint matching surface. The male joint matching surface and the male joint matching groove are used to match and connect the male joint. The matching portion is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the matching portion is the same as the inner diameter of the main chord.
[0005] The main chord is sleeved on the matching part, and then the main chord and the female joint are fixedly connected by welding. The main chord of the hollow cylinder is connected by the cylindrical matching part, which can effectively reduce the stress concentration at the weld.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the female joint is not less than the outer diameter of the main chord, all points on the outer contour surface of the female joint body correspond to the outer contour construction line of the main chord, and the outer contour diameter of the female joint is consistent with or larger than the outer contour diameter of the main chord, which can effectively reduce stress concentration at the weld.
[0007] Furthermore, the male connector matching groove passes through the pin shaft hole to facilitate the connection of the male connector.
[0008] Furthermore, the mating portion and the female connector are coaxial, which facilitates processing.
[0009] Furthermore, a bearing portion is provided between the mating portion of the female joint and the bottom of the mating groove of the male joint, for bearing the pressure from the main chord and the male joint.
[0010] Furthermore, a welding slope is provided between the matching portion and the bearing portion to facilitate welding.
[0011] The utility model also provides a tower crane standard section, which uses the female joint as described above.
[0012] The utility model also provides a tower crane, which uses the female joint as mentioned above.
[0013] The female joint of the utility model is used for welding connection with a hollow circular tubular main chord. The outer contour line of the female joint is circular, and its outer diameter is not less than the outer diameter of the circular tube of the main chord. The outer diameter of the mating part of the female joint is matched with the inner diameter of the circular tubular welding base, which can effectively solve the problem of stress concentration at the existing joint weld and increase the fatigue life of the weld.
