Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a crane accessory, in particular to a crane counterweight installation assembly. Background Art
[0002] An off-road tire crane is a wheeled crane that can use outriggers to support lifting operations and can also use tires to lift and travel with the load. The counterweight is an important component of an off-road tire crane. Its function is to generate an anti-overturning moment to prevent the entire machine from tipping over when the off-road tire crane is lifting. Conventional counterweight attachment is generally achieved through a counterweight attachment mechanism. The counterweight attachment mechanism includes an attachment cylinder, an attachment cylinder bracket, and a counterweight. The attachment cylinder is fixed on both sides of the rear section of the crane's slewing turntable structure. The rear section of the turntable is often equipped with a lifting hydraulic system and an electrical system. The space is compact, and it interacts with the counterweight attachment mechanism. The installation and maintenance convenience is poor, and the cylinder layout position is limited. In addition, the cylinder attachment system is relatively expensive, the attachment system is complex, there are many failure points, and the reliability is poor.
[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN 109335972 A discloses a self-loading and unloading device for a lifting mechanism, in which a counterweight is connected to a crane arm through a connecting piece bypassing a mounting portion, so that when the crane arm rotates relative to the mounting platform, the counterweight moves closer to or farther from the mounting portion under the action of the connecting piece. In this scheme, connecting pieces are installed on both sides of the crane arm to ensure the stability of the counterweight structure, which is complex in structure. The driving force of the counterweight comes from the crane arm, which will reduce the performance of the crane arm. Utility Model Content
