Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tower crane wire rope inspection and maintenance technology, and in particular to a tower crane wire rope pretensioning device. Background Technology
[0002] During tower crane operation, the hoisting wire ropes are prone to tangling, and once they reach the scrap standard, they need to be replaced. When arranging or replacing the hoisting wire ropes, the hook must be lowered to the ground, preventing the wire ropes from utilizing the weight of the hook to provide pre-tension. After arranging the wire ropes, due to insufficient pre-tension, the upper wire ropes can easily squeeze into the lower wire ropes during use, causing damage. Wire rope arranging is difficult, and after arranging, the wire ropes are prone to tangling again or even damage, resulting in poor economy and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to design a tower crane wire rope pre-tensioning device to replace the hook in providing pre-tension for rope arranging, thereby improving the efficiency of hoisting wire rope arranging, reducing tangling, and preventing damage caused by mutual compression of wires during lifting. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pretensioning device for tower crane wire ropes, which solves the problems of existing methods where, during rope arrangement or replacement of hoisting wire ropes, the hook must be lowered to the ground, resulting in the hoisting wire ropes not being able to utilize the weight of the hook to provide pretensioning force; after the wire ropes are arranged, due to insufficient pretensioning force, the upper wire ropes are easily squeezed into the lower wire ropes during use, causing damage; the wire rope arrangement is difficult, and after arrangement, the wire ropes are prone to tangling or even damage again, resulting in poor economy and safety.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tower crane wire rope pretensioning device, comprising a mounting top plate, a support beam, a top support arm, a top sleeve, an adjusting screw, an adjusting sleeve, a bottom support arm, side supports, a support shaft, a force-applying wheel, steel wire, wear-resistant rubber, and a limiting base plate. The top and bottom of the support beam are respectively pressed with the mounting top plate and a fixing plate, and the bottom of the fixing plate is provided with a top support arm. A top sleeve is fixedly sleeved in a groove opened at the bottom of the top support arm. A support rod is connected to the top sleeve by a threaded connection. A connecting section is provided at the bottom of the support rod, and an adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting section. An adjusting sleeve is connected to the adjusting screw by a threaded connection. The adjusting sleeve is fixedly sleeved in a groove opened at the top of the bottom support arm. Side supports are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the bottom support arm, and a support shaft is sleeved in the side supports. A force-applying wheel is connected to the support shaft by a bearing. A steel wire is rolled on the force-applying wheel, and the steel wire is attached to the top of the wear-resistant rubber.
[0005] As a further technical solution of this utility model, top bolts are fitted into the symmetrically opened through holes on the mounting top plate and the fixing plate, and the top and bottom ends of the top bolts are connected to fixing nuts by threaded engagement.
[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the top support arm by a pin.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the wear-resistant rubber is fixed at the top center of the limiting base plate.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, locking bolts are sleeved in the through holes symmetrically opened on the limiting base plate, and the locking bolts are sleeved in the through holes opened on the clamping plate.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the clamping plate is fixed to the bottom of both sides of the side bracket.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the locking bolt is connected to a locking nut by a threaded connection, and the locking nut is pressed tightly against the bottom of the limiting base plate.
[0011] This utility model provides a pre-tensioning device for tower crane wire ropes, which has the following advantages: The mounting plate and fixing plate are installed on the support beam of the tower crane via the fixing nut on the top bolt. The top support arm at the bottom of the fixing plate, connecting rod, connecting section, and adjusting screw constitute the position adjustment structure of the force-applying wheel. By rotating the adjusting screw, the bottom support arm can be moved downwards through the threaded engagement between the adjusting screw and the adjusting sleeve. After adjustment, the force-applying wheel is pressed against the wire rope. Simultaneously, the clamping plate is installed at the bottom of the side support via the locking bolt. Then, the wear-resistant rubber on the limiting base plate appropriately locks the wire rope and the force-applying wheel. During rope laying, the friction between the wire rope and the wear-resistant rubber provides pre-tensioning force, resulting in high rope laying efficiency for tower crane hoisting, less rope tangling, and avoidance of damage to the wire rope caused by mutual compression during lifting, thus ensuring good safety performance. This greatly improves the safety and economy of using tower crane wire ropes. Attached Figure Description

The adjusting sleeve 11 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 10. The adjusting sleeve 11 is fixedly sleeved in a groove at the top of the bottom support arm 12. Side brackets 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the bottom support arm 12. A support shaft 14 is sleeved in the middle, and a force-applying wheel 15 is connected to the support shaft 14 via a bearing. A steel wire 16 is rolled on the force-applying wheel 15 and fits against the top of the wear-resistant rubber 17. Top bolts 2 are sleeved in the symmetrical through holes on the mounting top plate 1 and the fixing plate 3. The top and bottom ends of the top bolts 2 are connected to the fixing nuts 4 by threaded engagement. The top end of the support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top support arm 6 by a pin.
