Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a lifting trolley for a tower crane includes a frame 2. A first transmission assembly is connected to the frame 2. The first transmission assembly includes a pulley shaft 31 connected to the frame 2 and a plurality of pulley assemblies 32 arranged on the pulley shaft 31. The pulley shaft 31 and the plurality of pulley assemblies 32 are slidably engaged. The frame 2 includes two symmetrically arranged crossbeams 4. Each crossbeam 4 has a clamping plate symmetrically connected to its front and rear sides. The two clamping plates on each crossbeam 4 are symmetrically connected to each other by a first pin 42 with connecting plates 43 on the left and right sides. The connecting plate 43 on the front side and the connecting plate 43 on the rear side are symmetrically connected by a second pin 51 with two swing wheel frame assemblies 52. Rollers 53 are symmetrically arranged on the swing wheel frame assemblies 52. A screw 8 is also fixed between the two clamping plates on each crossbeam 4.

[0023] The frame 2 has four balance wheel frame assemblies 52, and each balance wheel frame assembly 52 is equipped with two rollers 53.

[0024] With the above structure, in this utility model, the two connecting plates 43 connected by the first pin 42 on the front and rear plates together constitute a primary swing frame mechanism. The frame 2 has two primary swing frame mechanisms, and two swing wheel frame assemblies 52 are installed on one primary swing frame mechanism. Each swing wheel frame assembly 52 is symmetrically provided with two rollers 53, which together constitute a secondary swing frame mechanism. This structural design is advantageous because by adding a secondary swing frame mechanism on the basis of a primary swing frame mechanism, the number of rollers 53 is doubled. At the same time, the first pin 42 is provided on the connecting plate 43 of the primary swing frame mechanism, and the secondary swing frame mechanism and several rollers 53 are set on it, the total load is evenly distributed among the 16 rollers 53. This helps to prevent a single roller 53 from being subjected to a large load, which would cause it to be damaged, and helps to improve the service life of the device.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, each of the crossbeams 4 is symmetrically equipped with a triangular frame 44, and each triangular frame 44 is equipped with a side wheel mechanism. The side wheel mechanism includes a third pin 451, a second clamping plate 452, and a side wheel assembly 453. Two second clamping plates 452 are symmetrically arranged on the triangular frame 44, and a third pin 451 is installed between the second clamping plate 452 and the other second clamping plate 452. The side wheel assembly 453 is installed on the third pin 451. By setting the side wheel assembly 453, it is beneficial to control the turning of the machine body. It is usually located on both sides of the machine body, and the operator can control the steering of the left and right wheels, thereby realizing the turning of the frame 2. The crane has the ability to turn and travel, improving the flexibility of the machine body.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a snap-fit ​​bracket 61 is also installed on the tripod body 44. A safety valve rod 62 is rotatably connected to one side of the crossbeam 4 in a forward or backward direction. The safety valve rod 62 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​bracket 61 for limiting and locking. By setting the safety valve rod 62, when it is necessary to balance and fix the frame 2 at the predetermined lifting position, engaging the safety valve rod 62 with the snap-fit ​​bracket 61 facilitates the start and stop of the device, further securing and protecting the device, and preventing the device from moving back and forth on the crane.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a rope retainer 71 is installed between one of the crossbeams 4 and the other crossbeam 4, and the rope retainer 71 has a rope retainer bar for preventing the cable from winding around an excessively large outer diameter.

[0028] By setting up the rope retainer 71, it is beneficial to prevent the cable from flying off the pulley assembly 32, ensure the cable is coiled on the pulley assembly 32, and improve the coiling quality of the cable.

[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
