Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tower cranes, and particularly relates to a foldable and movable tower crane. Background Art

[0002] When installing a traditional tower crane, a foundation needs to be poured in advance. After the tower crane is installed, its position cannot be changed, which is inconvenient for the tower crane to turn around. Moreover, the length of the boom is planned in the machinery factory before the installation process, and the length of the boom section cannot be adjusted during the operation process, which is prone to safety accidents such as tower crane collisions. At the same time, when the tower crane foundation is set in the inner courtyard, due to the influence of surrounding buildings, it is extremely inconvenient to remove the boom. On the other hand, the installation and disassembly of traditional towers require operators to complete the lifting and lowering of the tower crane standard sections at high altitude, which takes a long time, the process is relatively cumbersome, and there are relatively large hidden dangers at high altitude. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application proposes a foldable and movable tower crane, which has the characteristics of self-propelling, tower body folding, boom telescoping, etc.

[0005] Further, the boom assembly further includes a steel wire rope, a support body and a winch; the winch is fixed on the vehicle; the support body is arranged on the top of the second-stage tower body; one end of the steel wire rope is wound and connected to the winch, and the other end is connected to the telescopic boom; the support body tensions the steel wire rope.

[0006] Further, a derrick is further arranged at one end of the first-section boom facing away from the telescopic boom; the derrick tensions the steel wire rope.

[0007] Further, pulleys are respectively arranged on the support body and the derrick, and the pulleys are in tension fit with the steel wire ropes.

[0008] Further, the boom assembly further includes an inner support rod, the bottom of the inner support rod is connected to the vehicle, and the top of the inner support rod is supported and connected to the second tower body section after deployment.

[0009] Further, the folding connecting piece includes a pulling plate, a fixing plate, a connecting rod and a pin; the fixing plate is fixed on both sides of the first tower body section; one end of the pulling plate is connected to the fixing plate through a pin, and the other end is connected to the second tower body section through a pin; one end of the connecting rod is connected to the second tower body section, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate through a pin; the connecting rod is also connected to the second folding driving member.

[0013] Further, the telescopic boom further includes a guiding member; the guiding members are respectively arranged between the first boom section and the second boom section and between the second boom section and the third boom section.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model include:

[0015] 1. The tower crane increases its own height by folding the first tower body section and the second tower body section. Of course, the length and number of sections of each tower body section can also be increased according to project requirements. It abandons the traditional method of installing and disassembling the tower crane by hoisting standard sections, reduces high-altitude operations, and reduces potential safety hazards.

[0016] 2. The tower crane is supported on the ground by the outriggers, and the force received by the tower body assembly is transmitted to the ground through the vehicle and the outriggers, eliminating the need for additional pouring of the tower crane foundation and reducing project costs.

[0017] 3. The transportation and transfer of the tower crane can be completed by the vehicle's own power, abandoning the disadvantage that the positioning point of the tower crane remains fixed after the traditional tower crane foundation is completed, saving a certain amount of project costs.

[0018] 4. The telescopic boom of the boom assembly extends and retracts under the action of a telescopic driving member to change the covering radius of the tower crane, prevent collisions between tower cranes, and meet the covering radius requirements of the project. At the same time, it abandons the defect that the covering radius cannot change after the traditional boom is installed.

[0019] 5. When the traditional tower crane is disassembled in an inner courtyard with a narrow space and not enough operating surfaces, it is easy to encounter the situation where the boom of the tower crane collides with the building and cannot be disassembled.

[0020] 6. The tower body assembly of this tower crane is folded or unfolded through a first folding driving member and a second folding driving member, without the need to reserve a large stacking yard on site to stack standard sections, and has low requirements for site space.

[0021] 7. Compared with the traditional tower crane, which requires a large number of operators and truck cranes for installation and disassembly, this tower crane only needs one operator to independently complete the folding and unfolding of the tower crane in the vehicle cab, saving certain project costs.

[0022] 8. This tower crane is convenient for installation and disassembly, and the covering radius of the boom can be changed arbitrarily, accelerating the turnover and use of tower cranes in the project area, accelerating the construction progress, and saving project costs.
