Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic release devices for electric wind vanes of tower cranes, in particular to an automatic release device for electric wind vanes of tower cranes. Background Art

[0002] The tower crane electric wind vane is the abbreviation of the tower crane electric wind vane brake, which controls the rotation of the crane arm. In normal operation, the electric wind vane is in a non-released state. In this state, when the crane arm stops rotating, the brake automatically locks the crane arm to facilitate loading and unloading of materials. When there is a typhoon or the wind force is greater than level 6, most tower cranes need to manually release the electric wind vane. After the electric wind vane is released, the crane arm can rotate freely to the downwind direction with the wind, so that the windward area of ​​the crane arm is minimized to avoid the collapse of the tower crane. There are two ways to manually release the electric wind vane: one is to press the electric wind vane release button on the control panel in the cab; the other is to manually lift the electric wind vane release handle and press the electric wind vane push handle at the same time, and then put down the electric wind vane release handle. After the electric wind vane push handle is pressed, the electric wind vane is automatically locked inside. When the tower crane is started again, the self-locking state is automatically released. In actual work, it often happens that workers forget to release the electric wind vane before going down the tower. When a typhoon comes, personnel must be arranged to go up the tower in time to release the electric wind vane. There are great safety hazards for personnel going up and down the tower crane in a typhoon.

[0003] At present, the existing system relies on human judgment and manual operation to release the electric wind vane, which not only increases the complexity of operation, but also reduces work efficiency. Especially when the project is busy or working at night, omissions or wrong operations are prone to occur. When the electric wind vane needs to be released urgently in bad weather, if it cannot be completed in time, it may cause the entire construction site to stop working and wait, seriously affecting the progress of the project and economic benefits. In view of this, an automatic release device for the electric wind vane of a tower crane is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic release device for an electric wind vane of a tower crane, which can solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

One end of the pull rod away from the connecting block is clamped with a bolt, and the connecting block is clamped to a hoop through a bolt arranged at its bottom. The hoop is sleeved with a handle through a bolt arranged at its bottom.

[0010] Preferably, a linkage rod abuts against the outer wall of the pull rod. The linkage rod is rotatably connected to the support plate through a linkage rod shaft arranged on its outer wall. One end of the linkage rod away from the pull rod abuts against the outer wall of the push handle. When the pull rod rises, it drives the linkage rod to push the push handle to move inwards.

[0011] Preferably, the anemometer is fixedly connected to the top of the tower crane. The power cord is connected to the DC power supply of the tower crane, and the signal line is electrically connected to the relay. The relay is respectively connected to the DC power supply and the electromagnet to control the opening and closing of the electromagnet power supply. The anemometer continuously monitors the wind speed and transmits the data to the relay through the signal line. When the wind speed reaches above level six, the anemometer sends a signal to the relay. After the relay receives the signal from the anemometer, the relay closes to allow current to pass through. After the relay closes, the DC power supply of the tower crane supplies power to the electromagnet through the relay.

[0012] Preferably, two sets of latches and locking rods are provided. The two sets of latches and locking rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate with the midline on the front side of the support plate as the axis of symmetry. The two sets of latches and locking rods are both clamped to the outer wall of the cover plate.

[0013] The utility model provides an automatic release device for the wind vane of a tower crane. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) By using the anemometer, the automatic release device for the wind vane of the tower crane can monitor the wind speed in real time and automatically trigger the release mechanism when the wind speed exceeds the preset safety threshold without manual intervention.

Especially under bad weather conditions, the device can respond quickly to ensure the timely release of the wind vane, effectively preventing delays caused by human factors, ensuring continuous operation at the construction site, and significantly improving the project progress and economic benefits.

[0015] (2) The automatic release device of the wind vane of the tower machine enables the device to be easily maintained or replaced when needed through the use of the latch and lock rod in the installation component. At the same time, the setting of the dust cover effectively prevents dust from eroding the handle and the internal structure of the wind vane, extending the service life of the equipment.

The movement of the push handle 26 triggers the release mechanism of the electric wind vane 22, causing the electric wind vane 22 to enter the release state and automatically lock internally. When the tower crane is restarted again, the self-locking state is automatically released.
