[0002] Tower cranes are a common type of lifting equipment on construction sites. They are typically composed of standard sections and are used to lift raw materials such as steel bars, timber, concrete, and steel pipes. Tower cranes play a vital role in construction and are indispensable equipment on construction sites. The structure of a tower crane mainly includes the tower body, jib, and lifting mechanism. The tower body is the supporting framework of the tower crane, usually composed of multiple steel pipes connected together, and can reach a height of tens of meters. The jib is the extension part of the tower crane, composed of the jib head, jib body, and extension arm, which can extend and rotate at different angles in both horizontal and vertical directions. The lifting mechanism is the core part of the tower crane, used for lifting and transporting heavy objects. However, in traditional tower cranes, the counterweight box is not convenient for position adjustment. Lifting goods of different weights can easily lead to an imbalance in the overall tower crane, failing to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a tower crane boom with automatic balancing function, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A tower crane boom with automatic balancing function includes a tower frame and a counterweight box.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a tower crane boom with automatic balancing function includes a tower frame 1 and a counterweight box 4. A tower arm 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tower frame 1. A guardrail 3 is fixedly installed on one end of the upper surface of the tower arm 2. A counterweight block 401 is placed inside the counterweight box 4. An adjustment structure 5 is provided at one end of the tower arm 2. The adjustment structure 5 includes a protective cover 501, a servo motor 502, a rectangular slide 503, a threaded rod 504, a first bearing 505, a rectangular transmission groove 506, a transmission rod 507, a first bevel gear 508, a second bearing 509, a second bevel gear 510, a rectangular slider 511, a connecting block 512, a slide rail 513, and a first groove 514.
[0020] A protective cover 501 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the tower arm 2. A servo motor 502 is installed inside the protective cover 501 on the front surface of the tower arm 2. A transmission rod 507 is fixedly connected to the rotating part of the servo motor 502. A first groove 514 is opened near one end of the tower arm 2. A rectangular transmission groove 506 is opened at the other end of the first groove 514 inside the tower arm 2. A first bearing 505 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front and rear surfaces of the rectangular transmission groove 506. A first bearing 505 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the rectangular transmission groove 506 on the outer surface of the transmission rod 507. A second bevel gear 510 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the rectangular transmission groove 506 on the outer surface of the transmission rod 507. A rectangular sliding groove 503 is opened on the front and rear surfaces of the first groove 514. A second bearing 509 is fixedly installed in the middle of the two ends of the rectangular sliding groove 503. A second bearing 509 is fixedly installed at both ends of the rectangular sliding groove 503 on the outer surface of the threaded rod 504. A first bevel gear 508 is fixedly installed on the other end of the threaded rod 504. The first bevel gear 508 meshes with the second bevel gear 510. A rectangular slider 511 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded rod 504. Rectangular sliders 511 are fixedly installed near the upper ends of the front and rear surfaces of the counterweight box 4. Connecting blocks 512 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of the front and rear surfaces of the counterweight box 4. Slide rails 513 are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the first groove 514 on the upper surface of the tower arm 2. Connecting blocks 512 are slidably installed on the slide rails 513. When hoisting goods of different weights, the servo motor 502 inside the protective cover 501 can be started to make the connecting blocks 512 fixedly installed at the upper ends of the front and rear surfaces of the counterweight box 4 slide on the slide rails 513, thereby moving the counterweight box 4 left and right in the first groove 514, thus ensuring the overall balance of the tower crane and meeting the usage requirements.
[0021] It should be noted that this utility model is a tower crane boom with automatic balancing function. When it is necessary to lift goods of different weights, the servo motor 502 inside the protective cover 501 is started first, so that the rotating part of the servo motor 502 drives the transmission rod 507 to rotate on the first bearing 505. This causes the outer surface of the transmission rod 507 to rotate near the second bevel gear 510 fixedly installed at the front and rear ends. Because the first bevel gear 508 fixedly installed on the other end of the threaded rod 504 meshes with the second bevel gear 510, the threaded rod 504 is driven to rotate on the second bearing 509. This causes the rectangular slider 511 threaded on the outer surface of the threaded rod 504 to slide in the rectangular slide groove 503. This causes the connecting block 512 fixedly installed on the upper part of the front and rear surfaces of the counterweight box 4 to slide on the slide rail 513, driving the counterweight box 4 to move left and right in the first groove 514. This ensures the overall balance of the tower crane and meets the usage requirements.
