Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting tools, specifically an auxiliary tool for flange lifting. Background Technology
[0002] During the assembly process, flanges need to be installed at the ends of the wind turbine towers to connect multiple shorter wind turbine towers. Therefore, the flanges need to be hoisted and transported.
[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN219078830U discloses an auxiliary tool for flange lifting. This tool includes a base plate placed on the edge of one side of the flange and attached to the flange surface. The base plate also has a lifting arm with lifting holes, and at least two connecting bolts. These connecting bolts are respectively positioned within connecting holes on the base plate surface on both sides of the lifting arm. One end of each connecting bolt passes through a tooling hole on the flange surface corresponding to the connecting hole, and the end of each connecting bolt extending out of the tooling hole is connected to a nut. This flange lifting auxiliary tool utilizes the tooling holes on the flange to fix the base plate with the lifting arm onto the flange surface using the connecting bolts. A hook or sling is then installed on the lifting holes of the lifting arm, allowing the flange to be lifted using a crane. After the flange is in place, the base plate can be quickly removed from the flange by loosening the nuts on the connecting bolts, without adding redundant structure to the flange.
[0004] However, existing flange lifting auxiliary tools are fixed to the flange with bolts, which is inconvenient to use. Furthermore, because they are fixed, the installation angles of the various auxiliary tools are relatively fixed, which is also inconvenient. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 An auxiliary tool for flange lifting includes a flange 1 and an auxiliary lifting body 2. The auxiliary lifting body 2 passes through the flange 1. A lower stop 3 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the auxiliary lifting body 2, and the lower stop 3 contacts the lower surface of the flange 1. A pivot pin 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower stop 3, and the pivot pin 4 passes through the auxiliary lifting body 2 and is rotatably connected to it. The pivot pin 4 provides a pivot for the rotation of the lower stop 3.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5The auxiliary lifting device body 2 has a sliding connection of a locking pin 5 inside, which engages with the lower stop block 3. A spring 6 is also installed inside the auxiliary lifting device body 2; one end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to the locking pin 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the auxiliary lifting device body 2. The spring 6 allows elastic force to be applied to the locking pin 5. The lower stop block 3 has slots at its upper end and both its front and rear ends, and the positions of these slots correspond to those of the locking pin 5. The engagement of the slots with the locking pin 5 provides positioning for the lower stop block 3.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The auxiliary lifting device body 2 has a connecting sleeve 8 fixedly connected to its top. A connecting head 9 is rotatably connected inside the connecting sleeve 8, and a lifting ring 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting head 9. Ball bearings 11 are embedded in the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 8, and an annular groove 12 is formed on the circumferential surface of the connecting head 9. The ball bearings 11 and the annular groove 12 provide axial restraint for the connecting head 9 without affecting its rotation. A threaded rubber plug 7 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the auxiliary lifting device body 2, and the threaded rubber plug 7 is slidably connected to the flange 1. The threaded rubber plug 7, in conjunction with the lower stop block 3, provides restraint for the flange 1.
[0025] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In normal use, the lower stop block 3 is in a vertical position within the auxiliary lifting device body 2. At the same time, the locking pin 5 is engaged in the slot at the arc end of the lower stop block 3 under the action of the spring 6. Then, the auxiliary lifting device body 2 is inserted into any bolt hole of the flange 1. Then, the lower stop block 3 is rotated. The lower stop block 3 rotates through the pivot pin 4 and then rotates from a vertical position to a horizontal position. The locking pin 5 is engaged in the slot on the plane of the lower stop block 3. Then, the threaded rubber plug 7 is screwed in so that the threaded rubber plug 7 is inserted into the bolt hole of the flange 1. At this time, the lower stop block 3 abuts against the lower surface of the flange 1. Then, the other auxiliary lifting device bodies 2 are installed on the flange 1 in the same way. This is more convenient than using bolts. Then, the lifting rope is hung on the lifting ring 10 to complete the lifting of the flange 1. Moreover, the lifting ring 10 can rotate freely and is not restricted by the installation position.
