Specific Embodiments

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0017] Refer to Figures 1 to 2, a limit device for a slewing mechanism of the present utility model includes a left limit buffer 7, a right limit buffer 10, a left slewing limit switch striker 8, a right slewing limit switch striker 11, a left slewing limit switch 6, a right slewing limit switch 9, and a buffer striker 3. The left limit buffer 7, the right limit buffer 10, the left slewing limit switch striker 8, and the right slewing limit switch striker 11 are all installed at the bottom of the slewing platform 2, and the buffer striker 3, the left slewing limit switch 6, and the right slewing limit switch 9 are all installed on the outrigger beam 1 of the gantry.

[0018] The included angle between the buffer end faces of the left limit buffer 7 and the right limit buffer 10 and the longitudinal center line L1 of the slewing platform 2 is α. The buffer striker 3 is installed on the transverse center line L2 of the slewing platform 2 and is on the same circumference as the left limit buffer 7 and the right limit buffer 10. The included angle between the collision end faces on both sides of the buffer striker 3 is 2α. The included angles between the left slewing limit switch 6 and the right slewing limit switch 9 and the longitudinal center line L1 of the slewing platform 2 are β. The included angles between the left slewing limit switch striker 8 and the right slewing limit switch striker 11 and the transverse center line L2 of the slewing platform 2 are β. The longitudinal center line L1 and the transverse center line L2 of the slewing platform 2 are perpendicular to each other. The left slewing limit switch 6, the right slewing limit switch 9, the left slewing limit switch striker 8, and the right slewing limit switch striker 11 are on the same circumference. Among them, the value range of α is 5° to 10°, and the value range of β is 20° to 25°.

[0019] Two buffer supports 4 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the slewing platform 2. The left limit buffer 7 and the right limit buffer 10 are respectively fixedly installed on the two buffer supports 4 by bolts. Two travel limit switch supports 5 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the outrigger beam 1 of the gantry. The left slewing limit switch 6 and the right slewing limit switch 9 are respectively fixedly installed on the two travel limit switch 5 supports.

[0020] The center of the limit buffer and the center of the buffer striker are on the same horizontal line, and the center of the limit buffer and the center of the buffer striker must be higher than the top of the slewing limit switch.

[0021] When the slewing platform 2 rotates, it can drive the left limit buffer 7, the right limit buffer 10, the left slewing limit switch striker 8, and the right slewing limit switch striker 11 to rotate synchronously.

[0022] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0023] The working angle of the slewing crane in the hydropower station is usually 0° to 180°. When the slewing crane is in the locked state, i.e., not working, the angle is 0°. At this time, the left limit buffer 7 is close to the buffer striker 3. When the slewing mechanism starts, the slewing platform 2 drives the buffer support 4 welded to the bottom, the left slewing limit switch striker 8 and the right slewing limit switch striker 11 to rotate together. The buffer support 4 is fixed to the left limit buffer 7 and the right limit buffer 8 respectively by bolts. Therefore, the left limit buffer 7 and the right limit buffer 8 will also rotate accordingly. When the slewing mechanism rotates 180° clockwise as shown in Figure 2 , the right slewing limit switch striker 11 touches the right slewing limit switch 9 to trigger the contact, and the right limit buffer 10 touches the buffer striker 3 at this time, and the slewing mechanism stops moving.

[0024] It should be noted that as shown in Figure 3 , the installation positions of the buffer striker 3, the left limit buffer 7, and the right limit buffer 10 are on the same circumference, and the installation positions of the right slewing limit switch striker 11, the right slewing limit switch 9, the left slewing limit switch striker 8, and the left slewing limit switch 6 are on the same circumference, and the installation positions of the buffer striker 3 and the right slewing limit switch 9 may not be on the same circumference.

[0025] The slewing mechanism limit device provided by the present utility model can achieve double mechanical and electrical slewing limits, avoid the collision between the slewing crane and the gantry, is safe and reliable, and is convenient for use and maintenance.
