Description

A rotating waist ring that follows the rotation of the tower. Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tower crane technology, specifically to a rotating waist ring that follows the rotation of the tower body. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's power construction, the number of power grid lines is constantly increasing, leading to a surge in demand for power construction machinery. The tower erection environment is becoming increasingly complex, with mountainous areas, hills, plateaus, and muddy terrain causing difficulties in the transportation and erection of gantry cranes. Currently, the double-rocker-arm ground-mounted gantry cranes used for tower erection offer high safety, but they occupy a large area, are heavy, and are difficult to transport. For multi-component assembly and transportation, large lifting equipment is necessary; however, in steep slopes or muddy environments, where large lifting equipment is unavailable, components must be disassembled and carried by hand, resulting in a massive workload and being extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these industry challenges, an integrated bottom-lifting and bottom-slewing gantry crane design was developed. However, the original power gantry cranes were top-slewing, requiring no tower rotation, and therefore no rotation of the waist ring. The current development of bottom-slewing gantry cranes addresses the issue that the waist ring design of the original top-slewing gantry cranes cannot meet the requirements for overall tower rotation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a rotating waist ring that follows the rotation of the tower body. The inner waist ring can rotate synchronously with the tower body inside the outer waist ring, ensuring the stability of the tower body at all times.

[0005] A rotating waist ring that follows the rotation of the tower body includes an outer waist ring and an inner waist ring. The outer waist ring has a side plate in the middle, and the side plate has a circular rotating groove in the middle. The inner waist ring is located in the rotating groove and has a guide wheel on its outer side. The guide wheel has an anti-detachment groove, and the side plate is located in the anti-detachment groove.

[0006] Preferably, the outer waist ring is composed of two outer waist ring half-frames, which are fixedly connected by a pin assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the outer waist ring has a regular octagonal structure and four first connecting lugs.

[0008] Preferably, the main structure of the outer waist ring half-frame is formed by welding crossbeams A, B, C and D into an arched structure.

[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the outer waist ring half frame are a double connector A and a single connector A, which are respectively welded to the inner side of the crossbeam A and the crossbeam D.

[0010] Preferably, the inner waist ring is composed of two inner waist ring half-frames. The main body of the inner waist ring is a square structure with connecting plates at the four corners and guide wheels arranged horizontally on the connecting plates.

[0011] Preferably, the inner waist ring has a hollow structure in the middle, and its upper and lower surfaces are respectively provided with 8 rollers for positioning the tower body.

[0012] Preferably, the inner waist ring has a square hollow structure, and friction blocks are provided at the four corners of the square hollow structure.

[0013] Preferably, the inner waist ring semi-frame main structure is a frame formed by welding square tube beams A, B, and C; double joints B and single joints B are welded to the inner sides of square tube beams B and C respectively; and there are sealing plates between adjacent square tube beams.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention discloses a rotating waist ring that follows the rotation of the tower body, including an outer waist ring and an inner waist ring. The waist ring is designed in the form of inner and outer waist rings to form a detachable structure for easy transportation. The inner waist ring is located in the rotating groove and has a guide wheel on its outer side. When the tower body rotates, it can drive the inner waist ring to rotate on the inner side plate of the outer waist ring.
