Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a crane position-changing counterweight device. Background Art
[0002] Cranes are increasingly used in daily life. To ensure full omnidirectional lifting, counterweights are often added to the rear of the crane's turntable. As a balancing device during crane lifting, the counterweight balances the torque. The greater the distance between the counterweight and the center of the slewing bearing, the greater the balancing torque, and the greater the crane's long-distance lifting capacity. Existing cranes have the following drawbacks during lifting operations: 1. Counterweights are often bolted on at a fixed distance from the slewing bearing center, which prevents the crane from fully utilizing its lifting capacity. 2. When the counterweight is positioned far from the slewing center, it affects vehicle length and turning radius, hindering vehicle passability and operations in confined spaces. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a crane position-shifting counterweight device, which can move and position the counterweight according to actual use needs, thereby solving the demand for a larger balancing torque of the counterweight without affecting the vehicle's passability and the needs of narrow operations.
[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is:
[0005] A crane position-changing counterweight device comprises a turntable connected to the crane's slewing support and a counterweight block connected to the tail end of the turntable, the tail end of the turntable being connected to a telescopic cylinder, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder extending horizontally and the outer end being fixedly connected to the inner end of the counterweight block, the top end of the counterweight block being provided with a horizontal slide, the axis of the horizontal slide being parallel to the axis of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder, a slide bar being connected to the bottom of the tail end of the turntable, the tail end of the turntable being supported on the top end of the counterweight block and the slide bar being embedded in the horizontal slide of the counterweight block.
[0006] A U-shaped positioning groove is provided at the top of the counterweight block, and the bottom of the turntable tail end is placed in the U-shaped positioning groove. Horizontal slides are provided on both groove walls of the U-shaped positioning groove. The turntable tail end extends into the U-shaped positioning groove and is provided with sliding strips on the side walls facing the two horizontal slides. The two sliding strips are respectively embedded in the corresponding horizontal slides.
[0007] A connecting plate is vertically provided on the top of the counterweight block and on the parts on both sides of the U-shaped positioning groove. The two connecting plates are parallel to each other and are provided with a row of connecting holes. The tail end of the turntable is connected to the two side walls outside the U-shaped positioning groove with vertically arranged positioning plates. The two positioning plates are provided with positioning holes. The outer walls of the two positioning plates are respectively close to the inner walls of the two connecting plates. When the counterweight block is moved to position, the fastening bolts pass through the connecting holes of the connecting plate and the positioning holes of the positioning plate and are locked and connected by locking nuts, so that the counterweight block is fixedly connected to the tail end of the turntable.
[0008] An articulated seat is provided on the inner end of the counterweight block, and the outer end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is hinged on the articulated seat.
[0009] The telescopic cylinder is an electric telescopic cylinder or a telescopic hydraulic cylinder.
[0010] Advantages of this utility model:
[0011] (1) The counterweight of the utility model can be driven and positioned by a telescopic cylinder. When the counterweight needs a larger balancing torque, the counterweight can be moved away from the center of the slewing support to increase the balancing torque and give full play to the long-distance lifting capacity of the crane; when in order to achieve vehicle passability and operation in a narrow space, the counterweight is moved toward the center of the slewing support.
[0012] (2) The bottom of the tail end of the turntable of the utility model is placed in the U-shaped positioning groove at the top end of the counterweight block, which limits the tail end of the turntable and ensures its stability during movement.
[0013] (3) The utility model adopts a connecting plate and a positioning plate to position and connect the counterweight block, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the counterweight block when the crane is operating. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
