Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle body ballast, in particular to a counterweight structure for multi-layer stacking of the vehicle body of a crawler crane for ballasting. Background Technique
[0002] Crawler cranes are an important classification of lifting machinery, with advantages such as high lifting performance, load-carrying walking, and adaptability to complex environments. Therefore, they play an important role in infrastructure construction, wind power construction, nuclear power construction, petrochemical construction, etc.
[0003] As a structure for crawler cranes to increase the lifting weight and lifting moment, the weight of the counterweight directly affects the lifting performance of the whole machine and cannot be reduced casually. At present, the crane market is dominated by sales orientation and price competition. How to reduce the manufacturing cost is crucial. Every product and every component is racking its brains to reduce costs. Reducing the counterweight cost plays an important role in optimizing the overall machine cost. The counterweight has evolved through steel plate type, cast iron type, and filling type, and the cost has been reduced step by step.
[0004] Taking the filling type counterweight block structure as an example, when a large required counterweight is needed, the counterweight is generally set as two or more blocks stacked. Since when the weight of a single counterweight block exceeds 10t, the requirements for the auxiliary crane required by the user are too high, so the weight of a single counterweight block is generally below 10t. For models above 260 tons, the required vehicle body counterweight generally exceeds 20t. Therefore, generally, a vehicle has 4 body counterweights, that is, 2 blocks in the front and 2 blocks in the back. And for 2 blocks stacked, there are requirements for limiting positions. The current form of adding counterweight blocks is to set semi-circular limiting holes and cylindrical limiting shafts at both ends of the counterweight block. After two groups of counterweight blocks are stacked up and down, the limiting shaft of the upper counterweight block falls into the limiting hole of the lower counterweight block to play a limiting role. However, at this time, the bottom surface of the limiting shaft is lower than the bottom surface of the counterweight block body. During transportation, it is necessary to pad the bottom surface of the counterweight block body, which is not convenient for transportation. Moreover, when processing the filling type counterweight block, it is also necessary to weld a lifting lug structure for convenient lifting use, and the lifting lug structure is easily damaged and the cost is not easy to control.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a counterweight structure for multi-layer stacking of the vehicle body of a crawler crane to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a counterweight structure for multi-layer stacking of the vehicle body of a crawler crane aiming at the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, which can further reduce the production and use costs of the counterweight block on the premise of meeting safety and use requirements.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

At the top of the support grid, a first lifting lug and a second lifting lug are fixedly connected, and the first lifting lug and the second lifting lug extend out of the top of the metal shell. Below the first lifting lug and the second lifting lug, there is a seamless steel pipe. The seamless steel pipe is welded to the support grid, and the bottom end of the seamless steel pipe penetrates the bottom wall of the metal shell and remains open. A sealing plate is welded to the top end of the seamless steel pipe;

[0011] Preferably, the transverse rib plates and the longitudinal rib plates are both penetrated with overflow holes to communicate between adjacent cells.

[0014] Preferably, the limit member includes a sleeve shaft. The outer diameter of the sleeve shaft is matched with the inner diameter of the seamless steel pipe, and a clamping groove matched with the first lifting lug or the second lifting lug is penetrated in the axial direction of the sleeve shaft. A pin hole matched with the shaft hole is penetrated on the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve shaft, and a pin shaft is jointly inserted into the pin hole and the shaft hole.
[0015] Preferably, the metal shell includes a storage box and an upper cover plate. The upper cover plate is detachably installed at the top of the storage box to form a sealed container after the inside of the metal shell is filled with counterweight fillers.
[0016] Preferably, two through holes are opened on the surface of the upper cover plate, and the two through holes are respectively matched with the outer diameter sizes of the first lifting lug and the second lifting lug.
[0017] Preferably, the metal shell is set as an integral structure, and a filling hole is opened on the upper surface of the metal shell for injecting counterweight fillers and exhausting air.
[0018] Preferably, both the first lifting lug and the second lifting lug are fixedly welded to the metal shell.
[0019] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. By optimizing the structural form on the basis of the existing filled counterweight block, the inner cavity of the metal shell is evenly filled with counterweight filler to ensure uniform weight distribution after the concrete solidifies, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by weight imbalance.

[0034] As Figures 1-5 shown, a multi-layer stacked body counterweight structure for a crawler crane includes a metal shell 1. Inside the metal shell 1, there is a support grid 2, which divides the inner cavity of the metal shell 1 into multiple cells 3. In each cell 3 inside the metal shell 1, counterweight fillers are filled. At the top of the support grid 2, a first lifting lug 4 and a second lifting lug 5 are fixedly connected, and the first lifting lug 4 and the second lifting lug 5 extend out of the top of the metal shell 1, facilitating being used as lifting lugs to hoist and tow the counterweight structure.

The seamless steel pipe 6 is welded to the support grid 2, and the bottom end of the seamless steel pipe 6 penetrates through the bottom wall of the metal shell 1 and remains in an open state. A sealing plate 7 is welded to the top end of the seamless steel pipe 6;
[0035] Based on the existing filled counterweight blocks, the structural form is optimized, greatly reducing the usage of sheet materials, the proportion of sheets, and the cost;
[0036] Both the first lifting lug 4 and the second lifting lug 5 can be detachably sleeved with a limiting member 8, and the limiting member 8 matches the inner diameter of the seamless steel pipe 6, which can reduce the wear of the first lifting lug 4 and the second lifting lug 5, extend the service life of the device, and the cooperation between the limiting member 8 and the seamless steel pipe 6 has a larger contact area, stronger stability after docking, greater connection strength, and relatively reliable safety;
[0037] To reduce the sheets required for internal reinforcement, the first lifting lug 4 and the second lifting lug 5 serving as lifting lugs and the seamless steel pipe 6 serving as a limiting hole are combined at the bearing part to achieve multiple functions with one component;
