Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane equipment technology, specifically to a counterweight device for cranes that can be disassembled and repositioned under load. Background Technology
[0002] A truck crane is a lifting device mounted on a standard or specialized truck chassis. It possesses excellent mobility and rapid relocation capabilities. Utilizing the truck chassis, it shares the driving performance of a vehicle, allowing for quick travel and relocation on roads, making it suitable for highly mobile work sites. Based on lifting capacity, truck cranes are classified as light-duty, medium-duty, heavy-duty, and super-heavy-duty. To ensure safety during use, a counterweight device is required mounted on the truck. However, existing cranes have certain shortcomings in practical use. Most counterweight devices are fixed in inconvenient positions, and sometimes, to improve stability and performance, it is necessary to install or remove the counterweight device, which is relatively inconvenient.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model is a counterweight device for cranes that can be disassembled and repositioned under load, comprising a vehicle body 1 ( Figure 1 The vehicle (as shown) is mainly composed of a cab and a carriage. The crane body 2 is mounted on the vehicle body 1 and can be installed at the position shown in the figure or at other positions as needed. To ensure stability during use, a hydraulic telescopic rod 3 with a support component is installed at the rear bottom of the vehicle body 1 by screws. A support block 18 is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic telescopic rod 3, which can easily form support with the ground to ensure stability during loading and unloading. An anti-slip pad 19 is glued to the bottom of the support block 18, and anti-slip protrusions 20 (which can also be integrally formed) are glued to the bottom of the anti-slip pad 19 at equal intervals to increase the friction with the ground and ensure the support effect.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5To ensure stability during use and allow for repositioning of the counterweight components without disassembly, the vehicle body 1 is symmetrically equipped with adjustment slots 5 for the adjustment mechanism. An adjustment plate 8 slides within the adjustment slots 5, and guide blocks 10 are symmetrically welded to the side walls of the adjustment plate 8. The inner side wall of the adjustment slots 5 is provided with guide grooves 9 to facilitate the sliding and limiting of the guide blocks 10. For convenient adjustment of the counterweight components, a sliding cavity 15 for the sliding components is provided inside the adjustment plate 8. A sliding plate 16 slides within the sliding cavity 15, and a connecting rod 17 is welded to the top of the sliding plate 16. The top of the connecting rod 17 slides out of the sliding cavity 15 and extends outwards to be welded and fixed to the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 is equidistantly equipped with counterweight plates 4 (the number of which depends on the actual assembly requirements). The connecting plate 7 is welded with a fixing screw 11, and the counterweight plate 4 has a through hole for easy insertion with the fixing screw 11. The fixing screw 11 is threaded with a nut for easy tightening after assembly. The fixing screw 11 is fitted with a washer 12 to ensure a tight fit. The top of the fixing screw 11 has a connecting hole 13 (for easy connection with the hook of the crane body 2, which can be connected by steel cable, etc., a mature technology that will not be elaborated here), which facilitates the overall upward movement of the connecting plate 7 for subsequent adjustment and movement. The bottom of the connecting plate 7 is welded with positioning protrusions 14 of the positioning component at equal intervals. The corresponding positioning groove 6 on the vehicle body 1 matches the positioning protrusions 14, which facilitates positioning after assembly and adjustment and prevents the connecting plate 7 and the counterweight plate 4 from moving.
[0022] Working principle: In use, this utility model assembles a corresponding number of counterweight plates 4 as needed, and secures them with nuts and washers 12 on the fixing screws 11. When the position of the counterweight plates 4 needs to be adjusted, a steel cable is threaded through the connecting hole 13 of the fixing screws 11 and then connected to the hook of the crane body 2. The connecting plate 7 can be pulled upward as a whole, and the connecting rod 17 and the sliding plate 16 slide within the sliding cavity 15, allowing the positioning protrusion 14 to leave the positioning groove 6. As the crane body 2 operates, it assists in pushing the counterweight plates 4, allowing the adjusting plate 8 to slide within the adjusting groove 5. The guide block 10 slides within the guide groove 9 to assist in guiding and limiting. After adjustment, the connecting plate 7 is lowered and reset under gravity. The slide plate 16 slides within the sliding cavity 15 to reset, and the positioning protrusion 14 enters the positioning groove 6 for positioning and fixing. The positioning and fixing are achieved under the overall gravity of the connecting plate 7 and the counterweight plate 4, ensuring stability and firmness during use. When loading and unloading goods, the hydraulic telescopic rod 3 can be extended to lower the support block 18. The anti-slip pad 19 and the anti-slip protrusion 20 contact the ground for support, ensuring overall stability and safety.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
