Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane technology, specifically to a counterweight device and crane that can be repositioned under load. Background Technology

[0002] When a crane is lifting, a suitable counterweight needs to be placed behind the turntable to ensure the stability of the lifting operation. Traditional counterweight devices include components such as a counterweight frame, a turntable connecting boom, a telescopic frame, and a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder controls the telescopic frame and mounting base to extend and retract. However, this solution requires the counterweight frame to be disassembled when the counterweight is attached, which reduces the efficiency of the operation. This structure cannot adjust the height of the counterweight during operation, has low site adaptability, and the structural components and cylinders are heavy, resulting in high costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide a counterweight device and crane capable of load-bearing displacement. Luffing boom one and luffing boom two are hinged together by a rotary hinge shaft, and connected and fixed with the hinge points of luffing cylinder one and luffing cylinder two. Operating the extension and retraction movements of luffing cylinder one and luffing cylinder two allows each of the booms to move around its corresponding rotary hinge point. The counterweight device can move flexibly within a specific range, like a finger, achieving flexible adjustment of the counterweight amplitude and height. It can achieve load-bearing displacement and extension while significantly reducing the weight of structural components and cylinders, effectively controlling costs. Simultaneously, it facilitates the luffing booms overcoming obstacles during slewing operations, improving work efficiency. Compared to previous lifting-type counterweight systems, it is safer, more stable, and faster, with wider applicability, effectively solving the problems in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a counterweight device capable of load-bearing displacement, comprising a turntable connecting arm, wherein a rotating hinge shaft is mounted on the top of the turntable connecting arm, and the two ends of the rotating hinge shaft are respectively rotatably connected to the top of two luffing arms, and the bottom of each luffing arm is respectively connected to the bottom of the turntable connecting arm through a luffing power assembly.

[0005] The top of each luffing arm one is connected to one end of the luffing arm two via a hinge shaft four. The other end of the luffing arm two is equipped with a hook via a pin. The bottom of each luffing arm two is connected to the corresponding luffing arm one via a luffing power assembly two.

[0006] The turntable connecting boom is installed at the rear of the turntable on the crane. The luffing power assembly one is used to control the movement of the luffing boom one relative to the turntable connecting boom, and the luffing power assembly two is used to control the movement of the luffing boom two relative to the luffing boom one, thereby changing the height of the hook and the distance from the turntable. The pin is used to install the hook at the end of the luffing boom two. The hook is used to hang the counterweight load, so that it can move flexibly within a specific range like a finger, realizing flexible adjustment of the counterweight amplitude and height.

[0007] Furthermore, the luffing power assembly includes a hinge shaft, a luffing cylinder, and a hinge shaft. The bottom end of each luffing arm, away from the turntable connecting arm, is movably connected to one end of the luffing cylinder via the hinge shaft. The other end of each luffing cylinder is movably connected to the turntable connecting arm via the hinge shaft. When the luffing cylinder extends, it causes the luffing arm to rotate clockwise around the hinge shaft, raising the end of the luffing arm away from the turntable connecting arm, thus lifting the mounted counterweight. When the luffing cylinder shortens, it causes the luffing arm to rotate counterclockwise around the hinge shaft, lowering the end of the luffing arm away from the turntable connecting arm, thus lowering the mounted counterweight and changing its height. This alters both the counterweight's amplitude and height, facilitating the turntable's rotation over obstacles.

[0008] Furthermore, the luffing power assembly two includes a luffing cylinder two, a hinge shaft three, and a hinge shaft five. The bottom end of each luffing arm one, near the turntable, is movably connected to one end of the luffing cylinder two via hinge shaft five. The other end of each luffing cylinder two is movably connected to the bottom of the corresponding luffing arm two via hinge shaft three. When the luffing cylinder two extends, it causes the luffing arm two to rotate clockwise around hinge shaft four, raising the hook and the attached counterweight. When the luffing cylinder two shortens, it causes the luffing arm two to rotate counterclockwise around hinge shaft four, lowering the hook and the attached counterweight. This allows for changes in the counterweight's amplitude and height, and also facilitates the turntable's movement over obstacles during rotation.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes copper sleeves. Each luffing boom is fitted with a copper sleeve on its top. The copper sleeves are rotatably connected to the end of the rotary hinge shaft. The copper sleeves make the connection between the luffing boom and the rotary hinge shaft more stable.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a crossbar and a flange. Two flanges are fixedly connected to each end of the crossbar, and the two flanges are respectively fixed to the adjacent sides of the two luffing arms by bolts. The crossbar and flanges fix the two luffing arms together, allowing them to move synchronously. An elastic gasket is also provided between the flanges and the luffing arms to ensure a stable connection.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a second crossbar and a second flange. Two flanges are fixedly connected to each end of the second crossbar, and the two flanges are respectively fixed to the adjacent sides of the two luffing arms by bolts. The second crossbar and the second flanges fix the two luffing arms together to form a whole, allowing the two luffing arms to move synchronously. An elastic gasket is provided between the second flange and the second luffing arm to improve the stability of the connection between the second flange and the luffing arm.

[0012] A crane includes a turntable and a counterweight device that can be repositioned under load, wherein the turntable-connected boom of the repositionable counterweight device is mounted on top of the turntable.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this load-bearing displacement counterweight device and crane are:

[0014] 1. The luffing boom one and luffing boom two are hinged by a rotary hinge shaft, and are connected and fixed with the hinge points of luffing cylinder one and luffing cylinder two. By operating the extension and retraction movements of luffing cylinder one and luffing cylinder two, luffing boom one and luffing boom two can each move around their corresponding rotary hinge points. The counterweight device can move flexibly within a specific range like a finger, realizing flexible adjustment of the counterweight amplitude and height.

[0015] 2. It can achieve load-bearing displacement and extension while significantly reducing the weight of structural components and hydraulic cylinders, which can effectively control costs. At the same time, it facilitates the luffing boom one and luffing boom two to cross obstacles during slewing operations.

[0016] 3. It helps improve work efficiency. Compared with the previous lifting type of counterweight, it is safer, more stable and faster, and the counterweight has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description
