Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge crane technology, and specifically to a bridge crane parallel connection device. Background Technology

[0002] The generator stator is an important component of the generator. The generator stators in the main powerhouse of steam turbine generator sets and hydro turbine generator sets are characterized by large unit weight, high installation precision, and high construction difficulty.

[0003] It is common practice to use one or two bridge cranes installed in the main plant to lift and position the generator stator, either by a single crane or by two cranes. When using two bridge cranes for lifting, the two cranes need to be rigidly connected and operated in parallel. After removing the anti-collision device (or rail sweeping device components) of the trolley on site, the two bridge cranes are rigidly connected by direct structural welding using profiles such as channel steel on the end beams of the cranes to be operated in parallel.

[0004] After the generator stator is hoisted, the steel used for rigid connection is removed by gas cutting. During subsequent maintenance, when the stator is lifted and moved together, welding and cutting must be repeated. This construction method may damage the original structure of the crane and also increases the workload on site and the risk of working at height. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve some problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a connection device that is easy to assemble and disassemble and can be reused, so as to realize the rigid connection of two bridge cranes into parallel operation mode and quickly release it to restore the single-crane operation mode.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes:

[0007] A bridge crane parallel connection device includes a connecting frame and a connecting lug. The connecting frame has an H-shaped structure, and both ends of the connecting frame are provided with first connecting through holes. The connecting lug is fixed to the crane, and the connecting lug is provided with a second connecting through hole, which is adapted to the first connecting through hole.

[0008] Preferably, the device also includes a pin, which is adapted to the first connecting through hole and the second connecting through hole. The pin is inserted into the first connecting through hole and the second connecting through hole, and its end is locked with a double round nut.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting frame is provided with several reinforcing members.

[0010] Preferably, the distance between two connecting lugs located at the same corner is equal to the width of the connecting frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This parallel connection device enables a rigid connection between two lifting bridge cranes. The connection device is designed for easy installation and disassembly. After the lifting operation is completed, the parallel connection can be quickly dismantled without damaging the existing structure of the cranes. Furthermore, the connection device is reusable.

[0022] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1-4 A bridge crane 4 parallel connection device includes a connecting frame 1 and a connecting lug 2. The connecting frame 1 is an H-shaped structure made of steel plates welded together. Both ends of the connecting frame 1 are provided with first connecting through holes 101. The connecting lug 2 is fixed on the crane 4 (the connecting lug 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the trolley end beams of the two bridge cranes 4 to be paralleled by welding). Four connecting lugs 2 are welded on one crane 4, of which two connecting lugs 2 are located in the same corner and are used in conjunction with the connecting frame 1. The connecting lug 2 is provided with a second connecting through hole 201, which is adapted to the first connecting through hole 101.

[0023] Furthermore, a parallel connection device for a bridge crane 4 also includes a pin 3, which is adapted to the first connecting through hole 101 and the second connecting through hole 201. The pin 3 is inserted into the first connecting through hole 101 and the second connecting through hole 201, and its end is locked with a double round nut.

[0024] Furthermore, the connecting frame 1 is provided with two reinforcing members 102, which are welded to both ends of the connecting frame 1 respectively, thereby improving the firmness of the connecting frame 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the distance between the two connecting lugs 2 located at the same corner is equal to the width of the connecting frame 1. This ensures that the connecting frame 1 and the connecting lugs 2 will not sway left and right when connected, thus ensuring the stability of the two.

[0026] It should be noted that: the length of the connecting frame 1 should be set according to the center distance of the main hooks of the two bridge cranes 4 to be paralleled to meet the lifting and hoisting requirements; and the two bridge cranes 4 to be paralleled need at least two connecting frames 1 to connect them to ensure the connection strength.

[0027] This utility model relates to a parallel connection device for a bridge crane, and its usage method is as follows:

[0028] First, a connecting frame 1 of appropriate length is made, and connecting lugs 2 are welded onto two cranes 4.

[0029] Before on-site construction, remove the anti-collision devices (or rail sweeping device components) parallel to the rails on the relevant end beams of the two parallel cranes 4. When paralleling, align the two ends of the connecting frame 1 with the connecting lugs 2 on the two cranes 4 (align the first connecting through hole 101 and the second connecting through hole), insert the pin 3, and lock the end of the pin 3 with a double round nut. The structural parts of the cranes 4 are rigidly connected by installing this paralleling device. The electrical parts are connected to the two cranes 4 by connecting the communication cable. During paralleling operation, the operation of the two paralleled cranes 4 can be operated simultaneously by any one crane 4. After paralleling is completed, switch the paralleling mode on the linkage platform to single-vehicle mode. Disconnect the paralleling communication cable and remove the connecting frame 1, which means removing the paralleling device and restoring the anti-collision device in the direction of the crane 4.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
