Detailed Embodiments

[0017] 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 drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0018] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, a mid-span slewing crane for a hydropower station according to the present utility model includes a centering support, a slewing unit and a lifting unit. The centering support includes an outrigger beam 7, a first lifting plate 14, a second lifting plate 15 and a support rod 12. There are two second lifting plates 15 which are respectively fixedly installed on the walking beams 16 on both sides of the bottom of the gantry. The outrigger beam 7 is located in the middle of the gantry and is fixedly connected to the gantry through a support cross beam 13. The first lifting plate 14 is fixed to the bottom of the outrigger beam 7. There are two support rods 12, and the top ends thereof are respectively hinged to both sides of the first lifting plate 14, and the bottom ends thereof are respectively hinged to the two second lifting plates 15. The slewing unit includes a slewing mechanism 8 and a slewing platform 2. The slewing mechanism 8 is fixedly installed on the outrigger beam 7, and the slewing platform 2 is installed at the slewing end of the slewing mechanism 8. The lifting unit includes a hoisting mechanism 5, a boom 3, a fixed pulley block 9 and a movable pulley block 1. The lifting unit is fixedly installed on the slewing platform 2. The bottom end of the boom 3 is rotatably installed on the slewing platform 2. The fixed pulley block 9 is installed at the top end of the boom 3. A steel wire rope 6 is wound around the drum of the hoisting mechanism 5. The steel wire rope 6 bypasses the fixed pulley block 9 and then is wound around the movable pulley block 1. A balance pulley block 10 is installed on the lifting plate at the top end of the boom 3. The steel wire rope 6 bypasses the movable pulley block 1 and then is wound around the balance pulley block 10. A pull rod 4 is hinged to the top end of the boom 3, and the pull rod 4 is hinged to the top of the gantry.

[0019] The two support rods 12 are symmetrically arranged, and the outrigger beam 7 is located in the middle of the gantry, which expands the mid-span operation range, so that the operation surface can extend to the vicinity of both sides of the gantry, thus meeting the operation requirements.

[0020] The slewing mechanism 8 drives the slewing platform 2 to rotate, which can drive the hoisting mechanism 5 and the boom 3 to rotate synchronously. When the hoisting mechanism 5 drives the steel wire rope 6 to retract and extend, it can drive the object on the movable pulley block 1 to lift and lower.

[0021] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0022] The gantry crane installed on the dam surface of the hydropower station travels along the track in the water flow direction, the axis of the trash rack and the gate slot. By installing the mid-span slewing crane of the present utility model on the gantry, the gantry crane drives the slewing crane to move along the track to realize the movement of the movable pulley block 1, the trash rack or the gate along the track direction; the slewing crane makes a slewing motion to realize the slewing motion of the movable pulley block 1, the trash rack or the gate around the slewing center in the mid-span, so as to realize the hoisting and positioning of the trash rack and the gate; the slewing crane makes a hoisting motion to accurately hoist or insert the trash rack and the gate into the slot.
