[0010] As an alternative or supplement to the above pitching angle indicating device: in the scale area, the identification colors in the ranges of 0° - 5° and 85° - 90° are different from those in the range of 5° - 85°.

[0011] As an alternative or supplement to the above pitching angle indicating device: an installation frame is fixed on the sector scale, and a hoop is arranged on the installation frame, and the hoop can be detachably connected to the chord.

[0015] 1. In this solution, through the cooperation of the sector scale and the pointer, it is possible to always keep the pointer facing down during the pitching movement of the sector scale along with the tower crane chord, thus facilitating the observation and judgment of the pitching angle of the chord from the cab and improving the safety of the tower crane during the cargo hoisting process;

[0016] 2. In this solution, the sector scale is detachably connected to the chord, and the driver can choose the installation position of the sector scale according to his own experience and habits, so that the driver can get started with the newly used tower crane faster.

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments in conjunction with the drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this solution, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of this solution.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment designs a pitch angle indicating device for a tower crane, including components such as a sector scale 1, a pointer 2, and a rotating connection shaft 5.

[0023] The sector scale 1 is in a plate shape, and an arc-shaped scale area 11 is provided on the surface of the sector scale 1; a sector-shaped hollow hole can be provided in the middle of the sector scale 1 to reduce the weight of the sector scale 1. The angular range of the scale area 11 is generally 0° - 90°; in the scale area 11, the identification colors in the intervals of 0° - 5° and 85° - 90° are different from those in the interval of 5° - 85°.

The handle end of the pointer 2 is rotatably connected to the sector scale 1 through a rotating connection shaft 5. The tip of the pointer 2 freely hangs down under the action of gravity and points to the ground. The tip of the pointer 2 extends to the scale area 11. A counterweight part 21 is arranged in the middle or lower part of the pointer 2, so as to increase the weight of the pointer 2 and reduce the frictional resistance at the rotating connection shaft 5, and the influence on the relative rotation of the pointer 2 and the sector scale 1.

[0026] A ball bearing is arranged between the pointer 2 and the rotating connection shaft 5 or between the rotating connection shaft 5 and the sector scale 1, so as to further reduce the frictional resistance at the rotating connection shaft 5.

[0027] The rotating connection shaft 5 is arranged at the center of the arc of the scale area 11, so as to improve the accuracy of the indication position of the pointer 2.

[0028] An installation frame 3 is fixed on the sector scale 1. A hoop 4 is arranged on the installation frame 3, and the hoop 4 can be detachably connected to the chord. The installation frame 3 is parallel to the horizontal direction, and a plurality of hoops 4 are arranged at different positions on the installation frame 3.
