[0023] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a new type of hook fixing locking device, comprising a first locking frame 2, a second locking frame 3, the first locking frame 2 and the second locking frame 3 are fixed on the vertical arm 12 above the hook 1. The structure of the first locking frame 2 and the second locking frame 3 is the same, both including a locking seat, the lower end of the locking seat is provided with a guide groove 9, the guide groove 9 is trumpet-shaped, the lower end opening is large and the upper end opening is small, the upper end of the guide groove 9 is smoothly connected with the slot 10. Limiting grooves 8 are arranged on both sides of the vertical direction of the slot 10, and a sliding limiting block 5 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 8, the sliding limiting block 5 is driven to move horizontally by a hydraulic oil cylinder 6 on one side of the slot 10, so as to realize the opening or closing of the slot 10.

[0024] In addition, a hook pin shaft 4 is specially added on the hook 1, the diameter of the hook pin shaft 4 matches the diameter of the slot 10. During the moving process of the hook 1, the hook pin shaft 4 moves with it and can enter the slot 10. A semicircular groove is arranged on the upper end of the sliding limiting block 5, the size of the groove matches the tolerance of the hook pin shaft 4, so as to ensure the limiting support of the hook pin shaft 4.

[0025] Preferably, the lower end surface of the limiting groove 8 is fixedly provided with a pad 7, and the pad 7 is made of bronze. The self-lubricating performance is excellent, the bronze pad surface can be embedded with solid lubricant, and a solid transfer film is formed during the friction process, which reduces friction and wear, and is suitable for heavy load, low speed, reciprocating or swinging and other difficult lubrication occasions. The carrying capacity is strong, the copper alloy with high strength is used as the base material, which can bear a large load and meet the requirements of mechanical equipment on the carrying capacity of the pad. The impact resistance is good, the material toughness is good, and it is not easy to be damaged when impacted, which can ensure the stability and safety of the mechanical equipment during operation. The friction coefficient is low, the surface is smooth, the friction coefficient is small, which can reduce the friction resistance, reduce the energy consumption and improve the working efficiency of the mechanical equipment. The wear is small, the wear resistance is good, and the service life is long, which can reduce the replacement frequency and reduce the maintenance cost. There is no noise during operation, which can improve the working environment and reduce noise pollution.

[0026] Working principle and process:

[0027] 1), as Fig. 2 shown, the hook 1 slowly rises, when it reaches the lower end of the first locking frame 2 and the second locking frame 3, the lower end of the first locking frame 2 and the second locking frame 3 is designed to have a guide groove 9, which facilitates the smooth sliding of the specially designed hook pin shaft 4 into the slot 10.

[0028] 2) When the hook slowly slides into and reaches the upper edge of the slot 10, the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the sliding limit block 5 to extend, and the sliding limit block 5 slides on the base plate 7, and finally moves into the limit groove 8. According to the design and calculation of the sliding distance of the sliding limit block 5, the limit groove 8 is just aligned with the vertical direction of the hook pin shaft 4.

[0029] 3) Operate the hook winding system 11 and slowly lower the hook, and stop operating when the hook pin shaft 4 falls into the limit groove of the sliding limit block 5, at this time the hook is in a fixed locking state, thereby completing the hook retraction of the crane, and the specific state is shown in Fig. 3

[0030] 4) Start the hook winding system 11 of the crane, slowly lift the hook 1, when the hook pin shaft 4 reaches the upper edge position of the slot 10, start the hydraulic cylinder 6, retract the cylinder rod, and the sliding limit block 5 slides to the side of the hydraulic cylinder 6 until the sliding limit block 5 leaves the position of the limit groove 8, at this time start the hook winding system 11, the hook 1 continues to fall until the hook pin shaft 4 leaves the first locking frame 2 and the second locking frame 3, at this time the hook falling operation of the offshore wind power installation platform is completed.​
