Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a crawler crane includes a base, a turntable 6, a fixed plate 4, a boom 1, a control room 3, and a positioning counterweight 5.

[0019] The base, including chassis 7, tracks 18 and drive motor 19, is existing technology. The chassis 7 is a rectangular plate connected to the tracks 18 on both sides. The front and rear drive motors drive the base to move as a whole, thereby realizing the movement of the tracked crane. In fact, the base also includes other supporting devices, but since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0020] The turntable 6 is mounted on the chassis 7. The turntable 6 is the core component of the slewing mechanism of the crawler crane. It is a metal structure located above the slewing bearing and is mainly used to support components such as the boom and to realize the full slewing motion of the crane in the horizontal direction. It belongs to the prior art.

[0021] The fixed plate 4 is mounted on the turntable 6. The fixed plate 4 is a cuboid plate, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the chassis 7. The boom 1, the control room 3, and the positioning counterweight 5 are mounted on the fixed plate 4. The boom 1 and the control room 3 are existing technologies.

[0022] The lower part of the fixed plate 4 has a sliding groove 15, and the upper part of the turntable 6 has a slider 17 that cooperates with the sliding groove 15. The slider 17 is located in the sliding groove 15 and is engaged together. When needed, the slider 17 can move in the sliding groove 15 to adjust the center and ensure the stability of the crawler crane.

[0023] A first hydraulic cylinder 20 is installed between the fixed plate 4 and the chassis 7. There are multiple first hydraulic cylinders, each with its base mounted on the chassis 7. The fixed plate 4 has a top groove 25 corresponding to the position of each first hydraulic cylinder. When the turntable 6 does not need to rotate, the end of the telescopic arm of each first hydraulic cylinder rests in the top groove. When the turntable needs to rotate, the end of the telescopic arm of each first hydraulic cylinder does not contact the fixed plate 4. The purpose of the first hydraulic cylinders is to assist in the stability of the fixed plate 4 and prevent instability of the crawler crane due to center shift during lifting.

[0024] One end of the boom 1 is mounted on the fixed plate 4 via a boom support 9. The other end of the boom 1 has a telescopic arm 8, the end of which is connected to a movable pulley 11 via a steel wire rope. The shaft of the movable pulley 11 is fixed to a triangular seat 10. The triangular seat cavity 10 is a hollow triangular cavity with an opening on the upper side. A hook 2 is connected to the lower side of the triangular seat cavity 10. The pulley 11 is located in the triangular seat cavity 10, which increases stability.

[0025] The control room 3 and the positioning counterweight 5 are integrated and connected together. The lower part of the positioning counterweight 5 is connected to a locking block 16. The fixing plate 4 has a locking groove 14, and the locking block 16 is locked in the locking groove 14 and fixed with bolts. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the control room 3 and the positioning counterweight 5, and makes maintenance convenient.

[0026] The control room 3 has glass windows 12 and doors 13.

[0027] The first hydraulic cylinder consists of two rows, with the base of the first hydraulic cylinder in each row resting on a trolley 23. The wheels of each trolley are located in wheel grooves 24, the purpose of which is to allow the wheels of the trolley 23 to move within the wheel grooves 24, thereby achieving controllability of movement.

[0028] Both the fixed plate 4 and the chassis 7 are cuboids, and the projection of the chassis 7 onto the fixed plate 4 is within the fixed plate 4. The fixed plate 4 has a push-pull plate 22 at its rear end. A second hydraulic cylinder 21 is located between the push-pull plate 22 and the chassis 7. The second hydraulic cylinder 21 is movably connected to either the fixed plate 4 or the push-pull plate 22. Multiple second hydraulic cylinders 21 are arranged in parallel.

[0029] During operation, first, start the motor 19 to make the track 18 start rotating and move the crane to the work site. Second, adjust the angle of the boom 1 through the control device in the control room 3 so that the hook 2 can be accurately aligned with the item to be suspended. Then, hang the hook 2 on the item to be suspended. Through the control device in the control room 3, slowly raise the boom 1 to suspend the item in the air. Finally, as needed, adjust the angle of the boom 1, the length of the extension arm 8, and the rotation angle of the turntable 6 through the control device in the control room 3 to move the item to the designated position.

[0030] In order to maintain stability, the relative positions of the fixed plate and the chassis are adjusted according to the boom 1, angle and the lifting height of the suspended item, so that the center is as close as possible to the middle of the chassis.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
