Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cranes, and in particular to a crane boom and crane equipped with a double luffing device. Background Technology

[0002] Tracked cranes are among the most common types of cranes, frequently used for lifting large workpieces. The length of the crane's main boom is a crucial indicator of its performance, determining the maximum height the crane can lift a workpiece. This leads to the challenge of raising an extra-long boom. To accommodate an extra-long boom, the boom torque needs to be significantly increased, resulting in increased tension plate force, boom luffing force, axial force on the superlift mast, and superlift counterweight, thus raising the overall cost of the luffing system.

[0003] Main boom raising is a crucial aspect of crawler crane operation and is often considered a hazardous condition. The main boom is typically assembled from several boom sections, forming a single unit during raising. Current technologies, to achieve ultra-long main boom raising, require significantly strengthening the corresponding tie plates, super-lift mast, and other structures, while also employing larger luffing mechanisms and adding more super-lift counterweights.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a crane boom equipped with a dual luffing device, including: a superlift mast 4, a main boom luffing mechanism 5, a main boom rear pull plate assembly 6, a support 7, a tower boom luffing mechanism 8, a main boom front pull plate assembly 9, and a main boom 10; the main boom 10 is divided into a rear section 10.1 and a front section 10.2, the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 are hinged together, one end of the main boom luffing mechanism 5 is connected to the superlift mast 4, and the other end of the main boom luffing mechanism 5 is connected to the support 7 through the main boom rear pull plate assembly 6, and the tower boom luffing mechanism... The jib luffing mechanism 8 is mounted on the rear section 10.1 of the main boom via a bracket 7. The main boom luffing mechanism 8 is connected to the front section 10.2 of the main boom via the main boom front pull plate assembly 9. The main boom rear pull plate assembly 6 includes a main boom rear pull plate and a main boom wire rope. One end of the main boom wire rope is connected to the main boom luffing mechanism 8, and the other end is connected to the main boom luffing mechanism 5 via the main boom rear pull plate. The main boom front pull plate assembly 9 includes a main boom front pull plate and a main boom wire rope. One end of the main boom wire rope is connected to the main boom luffing mechanism 8 via the main boom front pull plate, and the other end is connected to the front section 10.2 of the main boom.

[0023] Both the main boom rear pull plate and the main boom front pull plate are equipped with tension sensors.

[0024] The rear section 10.1 of the main boom and the front section 10.2 of the main boom are hinged by a pin. A power pin is also provided between the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 of the main boom. When the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 of the main boom are in a straight line, the power pin is inserted into the pin holes of the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 of the main boom. When the front section 10.2 of the main boom needs to swing relative to the rear section 10.1 of the main boom, the power pin is pulled out from the pin holes of the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 of the main boom. A power pin drive device is also included, which is used to drive the power pin to insert into or pull out of the pin holes of the rear section 10.1 and the front section 10.2 of the main boom. Preferably, the front section 10.2 and the rear section 10.1 of the main boom are hinged together by four pins arranged in a quadrilateral shape. The lower two pins are in a standard configuration, while the upper two are power pins, equipped with hydraulic cylinders, allowing for remote operation of driving and pulling in the power pins. The power pins are mounted on the rear section 10.1 of the main boom. A support 7 is installed at the front of the rear section 10.1 of the main boom, and the two are hinged together by pins. The support 7 can rotate around the pins. The top of the support 7 is connected to the main boom rear pull plate assembly 9 and is equipped with a tower boom luffing mechanism 8, which has a fixed pulley system. The support 7 is a sleeve structure, and the power pins are preferably located on the support 7, allowing them to be driven into pre-drilled holes in the inner and outer sleeves of the front section 10.2 and the rear section 10.1 of the main boom at their minimum length.

[0025] The working process of the lifting arm in this embodiment is as follows:

[0026] Crane boom raising process: After the crane components are assembled, the state before the boom is raised is as follows. Figure 2 As shown. At this time, the power pin on the support 7 is in the driven-in state. The main boom luffing mechanism 5 retracts the main boom wire rope. When the tension sensor detects that the force of the main boom rear tie plate is close to the upper limit value, the tower boom luffing mechanism 8 releases the tower boom wire rope, causing the front section 10.1 of the main boom to fold downwards (a tower boom trolley can be installed at the head of the front section of the main boom for towing). When the tension sensor detects that the force of the main boom front tie plate has decreased by 20%, the tower boom wire rope movement stops, and the main boom luffing mechanism 5 retracts the main boom wire rope. Figure 3 As shown, repeat the above steps until the front section 10.1 of the main boom reaches the preset angle, then pull out the power pin on the support 7, freeing the support 7. Next, the boom luffing mechanism 8 retracts the boom wire rope, raising the front section 10.2 of the main boom until... Figure 1 State. At this time, the power pin is activated, driving the power pin in to connect the rear section 10.1 of the main arm with the front section 10.2 of the main arm into one unit.

[0027] Crane boom lowering process: Before lowering the boom, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main boom angle is set to the predetermined angle, and the power pin is activated, pulling it out. The rear section 10.1 of the main boom and the front section 10.2 of the main boom are now hinged. The tower boom luffing mechanism 8 releases the tower boom wire rope and lowers the front section 10.2 of the main boom until... Figure 3 Status. For example... Figure 2 The main boom luffing mechanism 5 then releases the main boom luffing wire rope, allowing the main boom head to touch the ground. The two luffing ropes are released alternately until the main boom is level. The power pin is then activated and driven into place. Example

[0028] This embodiment provides a crane using the aforementioned boom, including a lower carriage 1 and a turntable 11. The superlift mast 4 and the rear section 10.1 of the main boom are respectively connected to the turntable 11. It also includes a superlift counterweight 2, which is disposed on the turntable 11 to improve the stability during boom raising and lowering. Furthermore, it includes a mast 3, which is disposed on the turntable 11 and connected to the superlift mast 4. The mast 3 is used to improve the stability of the superlift mast 4 and the main boom.
