Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a side slider assembly of a crane boom, belonging to the field of telescopic boom technology for engineering machinery. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the boom of a conventional lifting device bears a large load in the vertical direction, but theoretically no load in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the function of the side slider is only to adjust the gap between the boom sections and ensure that the boom is centered. Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment function of the conventionally designed side slider assembly is implemented as follows:

[0003] a) First, fix the internal threaded stud 1 to the side plate of the previous arm section 5 by welding;

[0004] b) Insert the rear arm section 6 into the front arm section;

[0005] c) Insert the nylon side slider 7 into the mounting hole on the right end face of the external threaded stud 3;

[0006] d) such as Figure 3 As shown, use an Allen wrench to insert into the hexagonal hole on the left end face of the external threaded stud, and tighten the thread to make the nylon side slider contact the side plate of the rear arm section.

[0007] e) Adjust the side sliders on both sides of the previous section of the arm body by threading to center the arm body;

[0008] f) Then screw the standard nut 2 into the external threaded post and tighten it.

[0009] However, the conventionally designed side slider assembly described above has certain limitations:

[0010] 1) The national standard nut 2 here has anti-loosening requirements after tightening, so only the fine thread of the type 1 non-metallic insert hexagonal lock nut can be selected. According to GB / T889.2, the maximum thread specification is M36*3, and its bottom hole diameter is about 33mm.

[0011] 2) If the maximum outer diameter of the side slider is greater than 32mm, the side slider cannot be assembled from the side of the arm body using an internally threaded stud. Figure 4 As shown, it can only be assembled from inside the arm body and then adjusted via threads;

[0012] 3) The gap between the arm bodies may have some tolerance fluctuation due to welding and other reasons. To facilitate assembly, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the side slider will be reduced, and in addition, there will be gaps between the side slider and the arm body under this structure, which poses a risk of damage when subjected to lateral forces.

[0013] In summary, in the conventionally designed side slider assembly, the maximum contact surface diameter between the nylon side slider and the rear boom section is 32mm. This contact area can meet the design requirements of the boom side slider without large side load requirements, but it cannot meet the design requirements under high-altitude lifting conditions during hurricane weather. Utility Model Content

[0014] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a side slider assembly for a crane boom. While meeting the requirements for preventing loosening, the outer diameter and thickness of the side slider can be freely selected according to actual needs, which can meet the requirements for large side loads and the design requirements for high-altitude lifting operations during hurricane weather.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A side slider assembly for a crane boom, characterized in that it includes a cylindrical side slider, an internally threaded stud, and an externally threaded stud. The internally threaded stud includes a cylindrical large-diameter portion and a cylindrical small-diameter portion, with a stepped surface formed at the intersection of the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion. The small-diameter portion is provided with an internally threaded hole, and the large-diameter portion is provided with a cylindrical inner cavity that matches the side slider. The internally threaded hole and the cylindrical inner cavity form a through hole for the internally threaded stud. The externally threaded stud is cylindrical, with external threads on its outer wall. The outer wall of the large-diameter portion is welded to the side plate of the previous boom section. The side slider is installed in the cylindrical inner cavity of the internally threaded stud, and the externally threaded stud is connected to the small-diameter portion of the internally threaded stud. By tightening the threads, the inner end face of the externally threaded stud abuts against the outer end face of the side slider.

[0016] In the above scheme, the side slider is made of nylon and adopts a cylindrical design with a consistent outer diameter, which can evenly distribute pressure, increase compressive strength, and improve the stability of the overall structure. The internal threaded stud is designed to form a stepped shape, and its large diameter can vary with the outer diameter of the side slider according to design requirements. The internal threaded hole and external threaded stud of its small diameter can be selected with appropriate fine threads according to design requirements.

[0017] Furthermore, both ends of the side slider are provided with rounded chamfers, and the cylindrical inner cavity of the large diameter part of the internal thread stud also adopts a matching rounded chamfer, which can reduce stress concentration at sharp corners, prevent mechanical performance degradation, and meet the requirements of larger side loads.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer end face of the external threaded stud is provided with a cross-shaped groove. This structure is not limited to cooperating with cross screwdrivers and flathead screwdrivers, but can also be used with plate-shaped, strip-shaped or other objects that are readily available, all of which can be embedded in the cross-shaped groove for thread rotation.

[0019] Furthermore, a locking nut and a hexagonal head bolt are also provided; the small diameter portion of the internally threaded stud has multiple uniformly and symmetrically arranged through holes on its side wall; the hexagonal head bolt is fitted with a spring washer, passes through a pair of through holes and a cross-shaped groove, and is locked by the locking nut.

[0020] In the above scheme, the hexagonal head bolts adopt the national standard hexagonal head bolt fine thread, the spring washers adopt the national standard spring washers, and the lock nut adopts the national standard type 1 non-metallic insert hexagonal lock nut fine thread, which can meet the anti-loosening requirements. The internal thread stud has a pair of through holes in the small diameter section, and the outer end of the cross-shaped groove on the external thread stud is designed with an open end so that the hexagonal head bolt can pass through the through hole and the cross-shaped groove.

[0021] Conventional side-slider assemblies rely on locking the side slider with a lock nut tightened onto the externally threaded studs. This requires a fine-threaded fit between the studs, limiting the selection of lock nuts and making them not unique. In this invention, the externally threaded studs have a cross-shaped groove, and the internally threaded studs have paired through holes. The lock nut can be a smaller M8*1 type, and a hexagonal head bolt with fine threads secures both the internal and externally threaded studs. This design not only strengthens the connection between the internal and externally threaded studs, preventing axial slippage of the externally threaded studs, but also prevents circumferential rotation of the externally threaded studs, thus achieving the purpose of fixing the side slider.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the shank end of the hexagonal head bolt matches the width of the cross-shaped groove to prevent the hexagonal head bolt from wobbling within the cross-shaped groove, and further prevent the external thread stud from rotating circumferentially.

[0023] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the side slider is greater than the outer diameter of the external threaded stud, the height of the side slider is greater than or equal to the depth of the cylindrical inner cavity, and the length of the external threaded stud is greater than the depth of the small-diameter internal threaded hole.

[0024] This invention solves the problem of limited contact surface of the side slider in conventional design. It can increase the outer diameter of the side slider freely according to actual needs while keeping the internal and external threads unchanged, thereby increasing the contact area. It can meet the requirements of larger side loads and design requirements under high-altitude lifting conditions in hurricane weather. Attached Figure Description
