Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling tower speed reducers, specifically relating to a special device for hoisting cooling tower speed reducers. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industry, cooling systems are crucial for ensuring the efficient and stable operation of various industrial equipment and refrigeration systems, and their importance is self-evident. Small cooling towers, as an important component of cooling systems, provide indispensable cooling support for industrial production through effective heat dissipation mechanisms. However, the installation and maintenance of cooling towers, especially the hoisting of their core components—motors and reducers—has long been a challenge for operators.
[0003] As the core drive components of a cooling tower, the motor and reducer are quite heavy, which not only increases the complexity of the hoisting operation but also significantly increases the time required for the entire process. Traditional hoisting methods typically involve the following steps: First, transporting the heavy motor and reducer components into the cooling tower; then, using simple hoisting tools such as manual hoists, a laborious lifting operation is carried out from below the cooling tower's air duct until the components are close to the air duct opening; finally, relying on manual labor, these heavy components are lifted and placed onto the motor frame. This series of cumbersome steps not only greatly reduces work efficiency but also places extremely high demands on the physical strength and professional skills of the operators. More seriously, due to the limitations of the working environment and the inadequacy of traditional hoisting methods, there is a risk of equipment damage and personnel injury throughout the process.
[0004] Especially during the operation and maintenance phase of cooling towers, traditional hoisting methods often face greater challenges when the motor and reducer need to be repaired or replaced. The complexity of the internal structure of the cooling tower and the limited working space make it difficult to implement traditional hoisting tools and methods, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance work. Furthermore, when attempting to use heavy hoisting equipment such as cranes, the lack of a fixed hoisting point for the reducer becomes a problem. Reducer design often focuses on transmission efficiency and structural compactness, neglecting the needs of hoisting operations. This results in a lack of suitable hoisting points when using cranes, further increasing the difficulty and risk of hoisting operations.
[0005] In view of this, the inventors conducted in-depth research on how to provide a dedicated lifting device for speed reducers that is structurally reasonable, easy to operate, stable and efficient, which led to this case. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the problems of inconvenience in hoisting cooling tower speed reducers and safety hazards in existing hoisting methods, this utility model provides a special hoisting device for cooling tower speed reducers. The device includes a speed reducer and a hoisting assembly detachably connected to the top of the speed reducer. The hoisting assembly includes a hoisting plate and a lifting lug installed at the center of the upper end of the hoisting plate. The hoisting plate has a connection hole corresponding to the speed reducer. The hoisting plate is connected to the speed reducer by mounting bolts, which pass through the hoisting plate and are connected to the speed reducer.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, corresponding holes are made on both sides of the lifting plate at the positions and spacing of the reducer bolt holes for precise connection with the reducer, realizing convenient disassembly of the reducer and the lifting components, improving work efficiency, and facilitating subsequent maintenance and management; at the same time, lifting lugs are welded at the center of the lifting plate for connecting lifting ropes or hooks to bear the entire load during the lifting process; the holes on both sides of the lifting plate are fastened to the reducer bolt holes by mounting bolts to form a stable and accurate lifting interface.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting lug includes an annular connecting ring fixedly connected to the lifting plate. A rotating disk is rotatably embedded inside the connecting ring. A lifting plate is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rotating disk through a first connecting rod. The two ends of the first connecting rod are fixedly connected to the rotating disk and the lifting plate, respectively. A receiving plate is connected at the upper end of the lifting plate through several equally spaced second connecting rods. A lifting ring is fixedly provided in the middle of the receiving plate.
[0009] The above technical solution involves welding a connecting ring onto the lifting plate and embedding a rotating disk within the connecting ring. A lifting plate and a receiving plate are then placed above the rotating disk. The rotation design of the connecting ring and the embedded rotating disk during the lifting process enhances the stability of the lifting operation, effectively avoids safety hazards caused by swaying or tilting, and improves the safety and reliability of the lifting operation.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to an inverted U-shaped connecting seat, and the other end is provided with a connecting ring. A U-shaped clamping block is snapped into the edge of the lifting plate. A connecting hole is provided at the upper end of the clamping block away from the center of the lifting plate. A rotating screw is movably arranged in the connecting hole. Both free ends of the rotating screw are fixedly connected to the inverted U-shaped connecting seat.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, clamping blocks are set at the edge of the lifting plate and tightly connected to the connecting seat at the end of the second connecting rod to form a stable frame structure. This not only enhances the load-bearing capacity of the lifting lugs, but also effectively prevents the components from loosening or falling off during the lifting process, ensuring the stability and safety of the lifting operation.
[0012] Furthermore, the receiving plate is provided with an outward-facing U-shaped connecting groove at the edge corresponding to the clamping block. Auxiliary plates extend outward from both opening ends of the connecting groove. Fixing holes are provided in the middle of the auxiliary plates. Fixing bolts are mounted through the two fixing holes. The connecting ring is sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the fixing bolt.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the combination of the U-shaped connecting groove and the fixing bolt design ensures the connection between the second connecting rod and the auxiliary plate, effectively preventing swaying and displacement during the hoisting process, and improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.
[0014] Furthermore, a locking hole is provided at the center of any end face of the clamping block, and a locking screw is provided in the locking hole. The locking screw passes through the locking hole and abuts against the lifting plate. The locking hole and the locking screw are threadedly connected.
[0015] The above technical solution, with its locking screw design on the clamping block, ensures a tight fit between the clamping block and the lifting plate, effectively preventing safety hazards caused by shaking during lifting and improving the overall safety and reliability of the lifting operation.
[0016] Furthermore, the receiving plate has a through hole in the middle, and the lifting ring has a lifting hole. The lifting ring is fixed to the receiving plate by a fixing pin, and the fixing pin passes through the through hole and the lifting hole from top to bottom.
[0017] Through the above technical solution, the fixed pin design ensures a stable connection between the lifting ring and the receiving plate, which not only improves the overall stability during the lifting process, but also effectively prevents safety accidents caused by the lifting ring falling off.
[0018] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing plates are fixedly arranged radially and equidistantly around the connecting ring on the upper surface of the hoisting plate, and the reinforcing plates are welded and fixed to the hoisting plate.
[0019] Furthermore, the upper end of the reducer is provided with a housing cover, the housing cover is fixedly connected to the reducer, and a mounting hole is provided at the edge of the housing cover. The connecting hole is provided corresponding to the mounting hole, and the mounting bolt passes through the connecting hole and the mounting hole in sequence for fixing.
[0020] Through the above technical solution, the connection hole design allows the device to be adapted to different models of reducers, achieving precise installation and connection. This not only improves the versatility and flexibility of hoisting operations but also reduces the company's operating costs and maintenance difficulties.
[0021] Furthermore, the hoisting plate is made of a high-strength lightweight material, which includes any one of aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, or high-strength composite materials.
[0022] By employing the aforementioned technical solutions, high-strength, lightweight materials are used to replace traditional steel, or material usage is reduced through optimized structural design, such as using hollow cross-sections or thin-walled structures. This effectively reduces the weight of the equipment while ensuring strength and stability. Lightweight design helps reduce energy consumption during hoisting, improves operational flexibility, and lowers the requirements for hoisting equipment.
[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] (1) Corresponding holes are made on both sides of the lifting plate at the positions and spacing of the reducer bolt holes for precise connection with the reducer, so as to facilitate the easy disassembly of the reducer and the lifting components, improve work efficiency, and facilitate subsequent maintenance and management; at the same time, lifting lugs are welded at the center of the lifting plate for connecting the lifting rope or hook connection to bear the entire load during the lifting process; the holes of the lifting plate are fastened to the reducer bolt holes by the installation bolts to form a stable and accurate lifting interface.
[0025] (2) Improved the stability and accuracy of hoisting operations and avoided the safety hazards of traditional binding methods. It simplified the hoisting process, shortened the operation time, reduced the labor intensity of personnel, facilitated the disassembly and maintenance of the reducer, reduced maintenance costs, and the device has a compact structure, high strength and strong load-bearing capacity, which can adapt to various hoisting environments. Through lightweight design and adjustable hoisting interface, the flexibility and adaptability of the device are improved.
[0026] (3) The device must be precisely aligned with the lifting point of the reducer to ensure the stability and accuracy of the lifting process; at the same time, it must also have sufficient load-bearing capacity and adaptability to accommodate reducers of different models and sizes. The device solves the problem of the reducer having no fixed lifting point, can adapt to the complex working environment inside the cooling tower, reduces the difficulty and risk of lifting operations, improves work efficiency and safety, and provides a more reliable guarantee for the installation and maintenance of the cooling tower.
