Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane counterweight technology, and in particular to a movable counterweight displacement and lifting structure for cranes. Background Technology

[0002] The movable counterweight is an important component of wheeled cranes. Installed at the rear of the turntable during crane operation, it balances the crane's lifting torque and prevents tipping during loading. When relocating the crane, the movable counterweight is typically removed from the turntable and transported by truck. Generally, the larger the crane's tonnage, the more movable counterweights it carries; typically, a 100-ton crane is equipped with around 50 tons of movable counterweight. The movable counterweight is mounted on the crane's turntable, and its slewing radius must be considered during design to prevent interference with other components on the chassis during turntable rotation. Therefore, the distance between the movable counterweight and the center of rotation is constant. Achieving a greater balancing torque primarily relies on increasing the weight of the movable counterweight.

[0003] In the prior art, the movable counterweight is limited by the design space, which restricts the total weight of the movable counterweight and cannot meet the usage requirements of cranes with long booms and long lifting distances, thus failing to fully utilize the performance of the crane. Therefore, this utility model proposes a movable counterweight displacement lifting structure for cranes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 A movable counterweight displacement lifting structure for a crane, comprising:

[0032] Base 1;

[0033] Counterweight 7 is slidably connected to the top of base 1;

[0034] Fixture 3 is fixedly installed on the top of base 1;

[0038] With the above structure, by activating the electric push rod 16 on the fixed frame 3, the positioning plate 8 and the threaded rod 5 can be unlocked. Then, the motor 4 is started, and the motor 4 drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate. The threaded rod 5 can then drive the threaded sleeve 6 and the counterweight 7 to move. The position of the counterweight 7 can be freely adjusted to meet the usage requirements of the crane's long boom and long lifting distance, so as to give full play to the performance of the crane.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes: a positioning plate 8 and a positioning frame 9;

[0040] The positioning disc 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 5. The positioning frame 9 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 3. The positioning frame 9 cooperates with the positioning disc 8. After the positioning frame 9 and the positioning disc 8 are engaged, the positioning frame 9 can connect the positioning disc 8 to the fixed frame 3 to block the rotation of the positioning disc 8 on the fixed frame 3. The positioning disc 8 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 5, which can realize the positioning of the positioning disc 8 and the threaded rod 5 to prevent external factors from affecting the position of the counterweight 7 and to prevent vibration and accidental contact from affecting the rotation of the threaded rod 5.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the unlocking mechanism includes: a driving block 12, a pushing rod 13, a rotating rod 14, a pressing block 15, and an electric push rod 16;

[0042] The drive block 12 is fixedly installed on the positioning frame 9. The drive block 12 is rotatably connected to the push rod 13. The push rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 14. The rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 3. The electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3. The output shaft of the electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the push block 15. The bottom of the push block 15 slides in contact with the top of the rotating rod 14 and the push rod 13 respectively. After the electric push rod 16 is started, the electric push rod 16 presses the push block 15 down, so that the push block 15 can press down and rotate the rotating rod 14 and the push rod 13, so that the push rod 13 can push the positioning frame 9 to disengage from the positioning disk 8, thereby unlocking the positioning disk 8 and the threaded rod 5.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the positioning disk 8 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves arranged at equal intervals, and a positioning block is fixedly installed on the rear side of the positioning frame 9. The outer side of the positioning block can be detachably engaged with the inner wall of the positioning groove. After the positioning block is inserted into the inner side of the positioning groove, the positioning block can prevent the positioning disk 8 from rotating, thereby achieving the positioning of the positioning disk 8 and the threaded rod 5.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two symmetrically arranged springs 10 are fixedly installed on the left side of the positioning frame 9. Each of the two springs 10 has a fixing block 11 fixedly installed on its left end. The fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 3. The springs 10 are used to reset the position of the positioning frame 9, so that the positioning frame 9 can automatically engage with the positioning disk 8 and automatically position the positioning disk 8 and the threaded rod 5.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the base 1. The mounting brackets 2 are used to install the fixing bracket 3 and the base 1 on the crane by bolts.

[0046] It should be noted that the specific model of motor 4 and electric actuator 16 used shall be selected by those skilled in the art, and the above-mentioned motor 4 and electric actuator 16 are all existing technologies, which will not be elaborated in this solution.

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the base 1. The mounting brackets 2 are used to install the fixing bracket 3 and the base 1 onto the crane using bolts. After the base 1 is installed with bolts, the counterweight 7 can be used. The base 1 can be installed vertically or horizontally. When the position of the counterweight 7 needs to be adjusted, simply start the electric push rod 16 on the fixing bracket 3. After the electric push rod 16 is started, it presses down on the push block 15, causing the push block 15 to press down and rotate the rotating rod 14 and the pushing rod 13. This allows the pushing rod 13 to push the positioning bracket 9 away from the positioning plate 8, thus unlocking the positioning plate 8 and the threaded rod 5. Then, the motor 4 is started, driving the threaded rod 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve 6. By moving the counterweight 7, its position can be freely adjusted to meet the needs of long boom and long lifting distances of the crane, thus maximizing the crane's performance. Then, the electric push rod 13 is activated again, causing the electric push rod 16 to rise and retract, which in turn drives the push block 15 to release the rotating rod 14 and the push rod 13. This releases the positioning frame 9, allowing it to automatically engage with the positioning disc 8. After the positioning frame 9 engages with the positioning disc 8, it connects the positioning disc 8 to the fixed frame 3, preventing the positioning disc 8 from rotating. The positioning disc 8 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 5, thus achieving the positioning of the positioning disc 8 and the threaded rod 5. This prevents external factors from affecting the position of the counterweight 7 and prevents vibration and accidental contact from affecting the rotation of the threaded rod 5.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
