Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of box culvert lifting equipment technology, and in particular to a box culvert lifting clamp. Background Technology
[0002] A box culvert is a culvert constructed with reinforced concrete box-shaped pipe sections. It consists of one or more square or rectangular cross-sections, typically made of reinforced concrete or masonry. During transport, box culverts are usually hoisted, requiring specialized lifting equipment. Due to their large size and weight, the hoisting of box culverts is a significant risk factor; even slight negligence can lead to serious accidents. Traditional hoisting operations for box culverts use slings, which are not only cumbersome but also prone to cutting the slings due to the sharp edges of the box culvert, causing further accidents.
[0003] In the existing technology, the application scope of special lifting tools is limited. In order to ensure reliable positioning and clamping and stable center of gravity, they are only applicable to box culverts of a certain structure, which limits their use. Even if they can be clamped, forcibly lifting box culverts of different specifications will cause the center of gravity to shift, and there is a risk of falling during the lifting process, which poses certain safety hazards.

[0021] Referring to Figs. 1-3 , a box culvert lifting fixture includes a hanging frame 8. On the upper side of the hanging frame 8, there are a spigot lifting ring 9 and an arc-shaped lifting ring 10. By switching the lifting rings, the spigot and the arc-shaped member are respectively lifted. Below the hanging frame 8, there are a lifting beam 1 and a middle connecting beam 12. There are two groups of lifting beams 1, and they are connected by the middle connecting beam 12. The lifting beam 1 and the middle connecting beam 12 are arranged in a "day" - shaped or "eye" - shaped frame to serve as a bearing base to support the entire fixture;
[0022] On the upper side of the middle connecting beam 12, there are a hook seat 6 and a guide frame 121. There are two groups of guide frames 121, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hook seat 6. The lower end of the guide frame 121 is fixedly connected to the middle connecting beam 12. A guide hole adapted to the guide frame 121 is opened on the hanging frame 8. The guide frame 121 extends into the guide hole and has a sliding contact therebetween;
[0023] On the lower side of the hanging frame 8, there is a limit hook 7 adapted to the hook seat 6. On one side of the limit hook 7, there is a hook swing rod 13 for controlling the limit hook 7. At least two hook openings are opened on the limit hook 7. The limit hook 7 and the hook seat 6 are detachably connected. The spigot lifting ring 9 and the arc-shaped lifting ring 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the limit hook 7. The limit hook 7, the spigot lifting ring 9 and the arc-shaped lifting ring 10 are all hinged to the hanging frame 8;
[0024] Both ends of the hanger 8 are hinged to two sides of the hanger arm 5, which are arranged in a V-shape. The two ends of the hanger beam 1 are respectively provided with a first hanger leg seat 16 and a second hanger leg seat. At least two sliding pins 101 are provided at both ends of the hanger beam 1, and they are staggered. The first hanger leg seat 16 and the second hanger leg seat have elongated holes adapted to the sliding pins 101, and the sliding pins 101 slide in contact with the elongated holes. Both the first hanger leg seat 16 and the second hanger leg seat are slidably connected to the hanger beam 1, and the sliding range is limited by the sliding pins 101. A central sliding saddle 4 is provided in the middle of the hanger beam 1, and the central sliding saddle 4 is slidably connected to the hanger beam 1. The two sides of the hanger arm 5 are respectively... Hinged to the first leg seat 16 and the middle sliding saddle 4, the first leg seat 16 and the middle sliding saddle 4 are moved by the boom 5. A connecting rod is provided between the middle sliding saddle 4 and the second leg seat to drive the second leg seat to move. Legs 2 are provided on the lower side of the first leg seat 16 and the second leg seat to support the bottom of the box culvert and clamp it. A lifting leg 3 is provided on the lower side of the lifting beam 1 near the leg 2. The lifting leg 3 presses against the top of the box culvert and works with the leg 2 to clamp the box culvert. An adjustment device is provided between the lifting leg 3 and the lifting beam 1. The adjustment device uses a pin or bolt to adjust the height of the lifting leg 3 and then lock it in place. It is used to adapt to different models of box culverts.
[0025] The lower end of the lifting leg 2 is equipped with a centering handle 18, which makes it convenient for construction personnel to align the position of the lifting leg 2 and fasten it to the bottom of the precast box culvert component. The lower side of the lifting leg 3 is equipped with a seat pad, and the middle side of the lifting leg 2 is equipped with a side pad. The seat pad and side pad are made of nylon board and polyurethane elastic pad, and are ensured to be replaced regularly.
[0026] A counterweight 11 is provided on one side of the gantry 8, and a main counterweight 15 is provided at the end of the lifting beam 1 near the first lifting leg seat 16. This is used to counterweight the box culvert during the lifting process to prevent tilting. A guardrail 14 is provided on the outside of the main counterweight 15, and a ladder 17 is provided on one side of the guardrail 14 to facilitate the operation of construction personnel. Alignment markers can also be installed on the lifting beam 1 or the intermediate connecting beam 12. The alignment markers are aligned with the middle assembly connection holes of the box culvert to facilitate the alignment of the clamps.
[0027] In this embodiment:
[0028] The clamps in this solution are used as field lifting tools for storing and transporting precast box culvert components. They cannot be used for demolding components. The spacing between box culverts in the storage area must not be less than 600mm to avoid affecting equipment operation.
[0029] Operation of hoisting curved parts: The operator uses the ladder 17 to stand on the main counterweight 15 as an operating platform, operates the crane hook to hook the lifting ring 10 of the curved part, and uses the alignment handle 18 and alignment benchmark to align the clamp onto the curved part, aligning the front edge of the outrigger with the top surface of the box culvert. The hook swing arm 13 is then opened with the fork, the crane hook rises, the lifting leg 2 moves inward, hooks the box culvert, and is then lifted.
[0030] When lifting components, operators must leave ladder 17 and stay away from the components; no one is allowed to stand within 5 meters of the components during lifting.
[0031] Operation of hoisting the opening component: The operation process is basically the same as that of the curved component, the difference is: after the lifting leg 2 moves inward to hook the bottom of the opening component, the crane hook drops to change the lifting ring, and the opening component is lifted with the lifting ring.
