Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge cranes, in particular to a combined tool for quickly replacing wheels of a 350-80t casting crane. Background Art
[0002] The 350 / 80t casting cranes in the converter plant are primarily responsible for lifting molten metals such as molten iron and steel. They are installed in four key work areas: the slag span, the charging span, the tapping span, and the receiving span. Each 350 / 80t casting crane has eight active wheels and 16 passive wheels. If a wheel on a 350 / 80t casting crane needs to be replaced, the crane must be stopped for inspection, significantly impacting production logistics and production schedule.
[0003] The existing solution for replacing the active wheel is as follows: 1. Remove the bearing box support shoe and the universal joint bolts; 2. Disconnect the hand and the universal joint; 3. Use the jack to lift the frame end beam to a certain height, and the balance stand is slightly higher than the wheel bearing box; 4. Tie the offline wheel with a hand chain hoist. After the wheel moves out of the balance stand from the track, roll it to the platform and remove the offline wheel; 5. Then use the hand chain hoist to lift the online wheel group, loosen the hoist while pushing the wheel obliquely onto the track and then move it into the balance stand. Step 5 is time-consuming, laborious and has safety hazards (replacing an active wheel takes about 4 hours and a passive wheel takes about 2.5 hours); 6. After the jack is depressurized, install the wheel on the balance stand and reinstall the support shoe and universal joint bolts.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a combination tool for quickly replacing the wheels of 350-80t casting cranes. This solves the problem that step 5 of the solution for replacing the active and passive wheels of 350 / 80t casting cranes is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and poses a safety hazard. It can significantly shorten the wheel replacement time (replacing a driving wheel takes about 2 hours and a passive wheel takes about 40 minutes), saving time and labor while ensuring the safety of the maintenance operation process.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A combination tool for quickly replacing wheels of 350-80t casting cranes, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, it includes a lift 1, and an auxiliary mounting mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the lift 1. The auxiliary mounting mechanism 2 includes a base plate 21, a support block 22 is connected to the top of the base plate 21, and first hydraulic cylinders 23 are connected to both sides of the support block 22. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 23 is connected to a connecting rod 24, and a second hydraulic cylinder 26 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 24. A cross bar 27 is connected to the top of the second hydraulic cylinder 26, and a through hole 293 is provided on the inner wall of the two ends of the cross bar 27. A second slide bar 294 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 293, and a bracket 28 is connected to one end of the second slide bar 294. The four corners of the top of the base plate 21 corresponding to the bracket 28 are respectively connected to guide rods 29, and the inner wall of the guide rod 29 is provided with a guide groove 291. The first slide bar 292 is connected to the sliding connection of the groove 291 and is connected to the bracket 28. It is lifted by the wheels and placed on each group of brackets 28, and the lift 1 is moved to the bottom of the balancing platform. The auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is lifted to the specified height by the lift 1. The second slide bar 294 in the through hole 293 on the cross bar 27 is driven by the extension and contraction of the second hydraulic cylinder 26 to move the second slide bar 294 to pull the wheels in the bracket 28 from both sides of the guide rail. After being lifted to the top of the guide rail, it is guided by the connection relationship between the guide groove 291 and the first slide bar 292, so that the first slide bar 292 moves following the change of the guide groove 291, so that the second slide bar 294 gradually extends, so that the brackets 28 on both sides of the guide rail gradually move closer to the middle, and the first slide bar 292 When the wheel moves to the top of the guide groove 291, the position of the wheel in the bracket 28 is just above the guide rail, and then the auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is driven by the lift 1 to sink as a whole, so that the grooves on the outer walls of all wheels are clamped on the top of the guide rail, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation steps and greatly reduce the time of moving the wheels. The spacing between the cross bars 27 can be adjusted by setting the telescopic movement of the first hydraulic cylinder 23 to drive the connecting rod 24 to move, so that the device can be adjusted according to the spacing of the installed guide rails. The shape of the connecting rod 24 is Z-shaped, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 24 is slidably connected to the limit frame 25, and the limit frame 25 is connected to the top of the bottom plate 21. The connecting rod 24 can be limited by setting the limit frame 25, increasing the spacing of the connecting rod 24. In order to ensure stability during sliding, the guide rod 29 and a section above the guide groove 291 are both inclined upward and symmetrically arranged. The section above the guide groove 291 is inclined so that when the first slide bar 292 moves to the turning point, the first slide bar 292 moves following the changes in the guide groove 291. Blocks 281 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner wall of the bracket 28 for being stuck in the groove of the wheel wall. By providing the block 281 on the bracket 28, the stability of the wheel placement is increased. The block 281 is in the shape of an arc and is connected to the bracket 28 by a bolt 282. The block 281 is connected by providing a bolt 282 to facilitate the subsequent disassembly and replacement of the block 281 to adapt to wheels with grooves of different widths.
[0026] In this embodiment, the wheels are lifted and placed on each bracket 28, and the lift 1 is moved to the bottom of the balancing platform. The auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is lifted to a specified height by the lift 1. The second slide bar 294 in the through hole 293 on the cross bar 27 is driven by the telescopic movement of the second hydraulic cylinder 26 to move the wheels in the bracket 28 from both sides of the guide rail. After being lifted to the top of the guide rail, the wheels are guided by the connection relationship between the guide groove 291 and the first slide bar 292. The section above the guide groove 291 is inclined so that the first slide bar 292 moves upward. When it moves to the turning point, the first slide bar 292 moves following the changes in the guide groove 291, so that the second slide bar 294 gradually extends, and the brackets 28 on both sides of the guide rail gradually move closer to the middle. When the first slide bar 292 moves to the top of the guide groove 291, the position of the wheel in the bracket 28 is just above the guide rail, and then the auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is driven by the elevator 1 to sink as a whole, so that the grooves on the outer walls of all the wheels are clamped on the top of the guide rail, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation steps and greatly reduce the time of moving the wheels.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the front of the base plate 21 is connected to a support frame 211, and calibration blocks 212 are respectively connected to the two sides of the top of the support frame 211. By setting the calibration block 212, it is convenient to calibrate the position of the elevator 1. The elevator 1 needs to be moved to a position where the calibration block 212 and the crane track are in the same straight line, and the lifting distance of the elevator 1 is based on the calibration block 212 contacting the bottom of the track, so as to facilitate the accuracy of the moving position after lifting and save the time of calibration positioning. One end of the first slide bar 292 and the second slide bar 294 are evenly connected with round blocks for limiting.
[0029] In this embodiment, calibration block 212 is provided to facilitate calibration of the position of lift 1. Lift 1 is moved until calibration block 212 is aligned with the crane track. Lift 1 is raised only as far as the calibration block 212 contacts the bottom of the track. This ensures accurate positioning after lifting and reduces calibration time. The overall height of lift 1 is 300-400 mm, which is sufficient for tool calibration.
[0030] The utility model relates to a combination tool for quickly replacing the wheels of a 350-80t casting crane. When in use, the wheels are lifted and placed on each set of brackets 28, and the lifter 1 is moved to the bottom of the balancing platform. By setting a calibration block 212, the position of the lifter 1 is conveniently calibrated. The lifter 1 needs to be moved to a position where the calibration block 212 and the crane track are in the same straight line. The auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is lifted to a specified height by the lifter 1. The lifting distance of the lifter 1 is based on the contact between the calibration block 212 and the bottom of the track. This is to facilitate the accuracy of the moving position after lifting and save the time of calibration positioning. The second sliding rod 294 in the through hole 293 on the cross bar 27 is driven by the extension and contraction of the second hydraulic cylinder 26 to move to pull the bracket 28. The inner wheels rise from both sides of the guide rail, and after being lifted above the guide rail, they are guided by the connection between the guide groove 291 and the first slide bar 292. A section above the guide groove 291 is set at an angle, so that when the first slide bar 292 moves to the turning point, the first slide bar 292 moves following the changes in the guide groove 291, so that the second slide bar 294 gradually extends, and the brackets 28 on both sides of the guide rail gradually move closer to the middle. When the first slide bar 292 moves to the top of the guide groove 291, the position of the wheel in the bracket 28 is just above the guide rail, and then the auxiliary installation mechanism 2 is driven by the elevator 1 to sink as a whole, so that all the grooves on the outer walls of the wheels are clamped on the top of the guide rail, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation steps and greatly reduce the time of moving the wheels.
