[0005] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202223056625.9 discloses a climbing device and a climbing system. The clamping device of the electric crawler adopts screw clamping, and the clamping method is motor-driven active clamping.

[0006] The clamp structure commonly used in the above-mentioned prior art has the following drawbacks:

[0007] 1. Due to the different sizes and specifications of bridge piers in actual construction, none of the above-mentioned clamps can be adapted to various pier specifications with a single device. Therefore, their turnover rate is low, which is not conducive to promotion.

[0008] 2. When using disc spring locking, the clamping force of the clamp will change due to the change in the diameter of the pier column, resulting in inaccurate clamping force.

[0009] 3. When using an electric clamping device, there are problems such as heavy weight and high cost.

[0010] In summary, there is an urgent need for a clamping device that can adapt to the switching of different pier specifications, has high precision in clamping force control, can significantly improve equipment turnover rate, and facilitates product promotion in current construction.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 17 The following is a further description of an embodiment of an adjustable active clamping crawler that applies an active clamping hoop of the present invention.

[0062] like Figure 1As shown, the crawler assembly 1 of the adjustable active clamping crawler using the active clamping clamp of this utility model mainly consists of an upper clamp 1.1, a lower clamp 1.2, and a lifting cylinder 1.3. Both the upper clamp 1.1 and the lower clamp 1.2 are active clamping clamps. One end of the lifting cylinder 1.3 is fixed to the upper clamp 1.1, and the other end is fixed to the lower clamp 1.2. There are two lifting cylinders 1.3, positioned opposite each other on the middle of the upper clamp 1.1 and the lower clamp 1.2. Each lifting cylinder 1.3 has a guide device on both sides, which is a guide rod and guide sleeve type. The end of the guide rod is fixed to the upper clamp 1.1, and the end of the guide sleeve is fixed to the lower clamp 1.2.

[0063] Under the guidance of the guiding device and the driving action of the lifting cylinder 1.3, the lifting cylinder 1.3 extends and retracts, driving the upper clamp 1.1 and the lower clamp 1.2 to crawl alternately. The upper clamp 1.1 and the lower clamp 1.2 alternately clamp the pier 2, so that the crawler assembly 1 can crawl along the surface of the pier 2.

[0064] Figure 2 As shown, the crawler assembly 1 consists of two semi-ring assemblies 3 connected by pins 4 and fastening bolts 5. Each semi-ring assembly 3 includes half of the upper clamp 1.1 and half of the lower clamp 1.2 structure, and is connected as a whole by a guide device and a lifting cylinder 1.3. During on-site disassembly, only the pins 4 and fastening bolts 5 need to be removed to quickly separate the crawler assembly into two halves and detach it from the pier.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, both the upper clamp 1.1 and the lower clamp 1.2 have a double-layer structure. Taking the upper clamp 1.1 as an example, the upper clamp 1.1 consists of an outer clamp assembly 6 and an inner clamp assembly 7. The inner clamp assembly 7 is embedded inside the outer clamp assembly 6. The advantage of the double-layer structure is that the clamping and loosening action of the inner clamp assembly 7 will not cause the load on the outer clamp assembly to shake, thus ensuring stable operation.

[0066] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the external clamp assembly 6 is equipped with adjustable devices in the transverse, longitudinal, and diagonal directions to accommodate piers of different diameters. The external clamp assembly 6 consists of a transverse main frame 6.1, a longitudinal connecting frame 6.2, a guide wheel adjusting block 6.3, an elastic guide wheel 6.4, and a frame adjusting block 6.5. The two transverse main frames 6.1 are arranged opposite each other. The inner wall of each transverse main frame 6.1 has adjustable mounting holes 6.1.1. The longitudinal connecting frame 6.2 can be installed in different holes on the two transverse main frames 6.1, allowing adjustment of the two longitudinal connecting frames 6.2 in the transverse direction. The frame adjusting block 6.5 connects the two longitudinal connecting frames 6.2 in the longitudinal direction. Adjustment of the external clamp assembly in the longitudinal direction can be achieved by adding or removing frame adjusting blocks 6.5, and one or more frame adjusting blocks 6.5 can be used. Four elastic guide wheels 6.4 are installed on the inner wall of the longitudinal connecting frame 6.2, and the elastic guide wheels 6.4 are distributed at a 45° position. Depending on the diameter of the bridge pier, guide wheel adjustment blocks 6.3 may or may not be added between the elastic guide wheels 6.4 and the longitudinal connecting frame 6.2. The position can be adjusted by adding or removing guide wheel adjustment blocks 6.3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the outer clamp assembly 6 in the oblique direction.

[0067] By adjusting these three directions, the external clamp assembly 6 can be adapted to piers of different diameters, such as... Figure 5 and 6 As shown. With Figure 5 compared to, Figure 6 The longitudinal connecting frame 6.2 was moved outward, a frame adjustment block 6.5 was added, and a guide wheel adjustment block 6.3 was added, so that the outer clamp assembly 6 could adapt to piers with larger diameters.

[0068] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the inner clamp assembly 7 mainly consists of a locking device assembly 7.1, an inner clamp steel strip 7.2, a flange connecting block 7.3, and a pin 4. Each inner clamp steel strip 7.2 and a flange connecting block 7.3 are connected by the pin 4 to form a semi-ring inner clamp. The two semi-ring clamps are driven by the two locking device assemblies 7.1 to clamp and release. The inner clamp assembly 7 can be separated into two halves by removing the pin 4, thus ensuring that the locking device assembly 7.1 remains a single unit, enhancing the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0069] like Figure 9The locking device assembly 7.1 mainly consists of a hydraulic motor 7.1.1, a worm gear reducer 7.1.2, a rotating shaft pressure block 1 7.1.3, a connecting housing 1 7.1.4, a transmission lead screw 7.1.5, a connecting housing 2 7.1.6, a disc spring 7.1.7, a rotating shaft pressure block 2 7.1.8, a disc spring pressure plate 7.1.9, a pressure sensor 7.1.10, an anti-rotation nut 7.1.11, an anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12, a reverse baffle 7.1.13, a limit nut 7.1.14, and a proximity switch 7.1.15.

[0070] The structure of the worm gear reducer 7.1.2 is as follows: Figure 11 As shown, it mainly consists of end cover 7.1.2.1, oil seal 7.1.2.2, lock nut 7.1.2.3, bearing 7.1.2.4, worm gear 7.1.2.5, key 7.1.2.6, transmission box 7.1.2.7, bearing 7.1.2.8, oil seal 7.1.2.9, end cover 7.1.2.10, bearing 7.1.2.11, and worm gear 7.1.2.12. The worm gear drives the turbine to rotate in place, achieving a 90° staggered reduction and torque increase transmission.

[0071] The worm gear reducer 7.1.2 is connected to the power output end of the hydraulic motor 7.1.1; the worm gear reducer 7.1.2 is installed on the connecting housing 7.1.4; one end of the transmission screw 7.1.5 is connected to the worm gear 7.1.2.5 by a key connection, and the other end passes through the connecting housing 7.1.4, the inner clamp steel belt of one half-ring clamp, the connecting flange block 7.3 connected to the other half-ring clamp, and the connecting housing 7.1.6 in sequence, and is then fixed by the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 sleeved on the outside of the transmission screw 7.1.5.

[0072] The outer surface of the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 is fitted with an anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12 to prevent it from rotating together with the transmission screw 7.1.5. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 has two flat surfaces 7.1.16 on both its upper and lower parts. The anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12 has flat surfaces 7.1.16 that abut against the two flat surfaces of the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11. When the transmission screw 7.1.5 rotates, the two abutting flat surfaces 7.1.16 keep the transmission screw 7.1.5 in its original position, while the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 drives the connecting housing 7.1.6 to move left and right on the transmission screw 7.1.5 through the anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12.

[0073] The anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12 is also connected to a reverse baffle 7.1.13. The anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 has a stepped surface at one end that abuts against the anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12. The reverse baffle 7.1.13 is located on the outside of the stepped surface. The reverse baffle 7.1.13 and the anti-rotation clamping plate 7.1.12 are fastened together by bolts.

[0074] A proximity switch 7.1.15 is installed on the reverse baffle 7.1.13. When the clamp is fully opened, the proximity switch 7.1.15 can send a signal to the control system.

[0075] When the lead screw 7.1.5 rotates under the drive of the worm gear 7.1.2.5, the anti-rotation plate 7.1.12 can prevent the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 from rotating with the lead screw 7.1.5, so that while the lead screw 7.1.5 rotates in place, it drives the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 to move horizontally on the lead screw 7.1.5.

[0076] The lead screw 7.1.5 and the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 can have trapezoidal threads, enabling mechanical self-locking and giving the locking device self-locking performance. Furthermore, the hydraulic motor 7.1.1 can integrate a brake, ensuring that the locking force of the locking device is reliably maintained.

[0077] The worm gear 7.1.2.12 is driven to rotate by the hydraulic motor 7.1.1. The worm gear 7.1.2.12 drives the turbine 7.1.2.5, which in turn drives the transmission screw 7.1.5 to rotate in place.

[0078] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, one end of one of the inner clamp steel strips 7.2 is provided with a flange connecting lug. The flange connecting lug is provided with a through hole 7.2.1. Semicircular mounting blocks 7.2.2 are provided at the top and bottom of the through hole 7.2.1.

[0079] like Figure 8 and Figure 13 As shown, the end of another inner clamp steel strip 7.2 is connected to a connecting flange block 7.3 via a pin 4. The end of the flange connecting block 7.3 is also provided with a flange connecting lug. The flange connecting lug has a through hole 7.3.1. The upper and lower parts of the through hole 7.3.1 are provided with semi-circular mounting blocks 7.3.2.

[0080] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 13As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting box 7.1.4 are both hinged to a double hinge shaft 7.1.4.1. The double hinge shaft 7.1.4.1 is fixed to the semi-circular mounting block 7.2.2 of the inner clamping steel belt 7.2 by a rotating shaft pressure block 7.1.3. The connecting box 7.1.4 rotates around the double hinge shaft 7.1.4.1.

[0081] The upper and lower surfaces of the connecting housing 7.1.6 are both hinged to a double hinge shaft 7.1.6.1. The double hinge shaft 7.1.6.1 is fixed to the semi-circular mounting block 7.3.2 of the flange connecting block 7.3 by a rotating shaft pressure block 7.1.8. The connecting housing 7.1.6 can rotate around the double hinge shaft 7.1.6.1.

[0082] Both sides of the locking device's connecting housing can rotate around the four pivots, which can adapt to the angle changes caused by the deformation of the flange steel strip when the clamp is tightened, making the clamp more reliable.

[0083] The transmission screw 7.1.5 passes through the through hole 7.2.1 of the inner clamp steel belt 7.2 and the through hole 7.3.1 of the flange connecting block 7.3, connecting the two devices together.

[0084] like Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, a pressure sensor 7.1.10 is also installed on the right side of the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11. The pressure sensor 7.1.10 is fixed on the disc spring pressure plate 7.1.9. A disc spring 7.1.7 is located on the right side of the disc spring pressure plate 7.1.9. When the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 moves to the right, the pressure sensor 7.1.10 transmits the force to the disc spring 7.1.7, which then transmits the force to the connecting housing 7.1.6. The connecting housing 7.1.6 transmits the force to the flange connecting block 7.3 through the double hinge shaft 7.1.6.1, thereby realizing the clamping action. The pressure sensor enables accurate measurement of the clamping force, enhancing the reliability of the equipment, while the disc spring enables effective maintenance of the clamping force, enhancing the stability of the clamping force.

[0085] A limit nut 7.1.14 can be installed at the end of the transmission screw 7.1.5 to limit the outward movement of the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 and prevent the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 from coming off the transmission screw 7.1.5.

[0086] like Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17The diagram shows the working state of the locking device assembly. In the initial state, the spacing between the flange connecting lugs is S1, and the initial spacing between the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 and the limit nut 7.1.14 is H1. When clamping, the drive screw 7.1.5 rotates in place, driving the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 to move to the right, pressing the disc spring 7.1.7, reducing the flange connecting lug spacing to S2, and increasing the distance between the two nuts from H1 to H2. When releasing, the drive screw 7.1.5 rotates in the opposite direction in place, driving the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 to move to the left, which, through the reverse baffle 7.1.13, drives the connecting housing 7.1.6 to move to the left, increasing the flange connecting lug spacing to S3, while reducing the nut spacing to H3.

[0087] This screw and nut locking method achieves active locking, and the locking force will not change due to slight changes in the diameter of the pier. The locking force can be precisely controlled, and the opening gap is also relatively large, which can prevent the inner clamp from scratching the pier during the crawling process.

[0088] Example 2

[0089] As another implementation method, such as Figure 18 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the locking device assembly does not have a pressure sensor 7.1.10. The right side of the anti-rotation nut 7.1.11 is directly pressed against the disc spring 7.1.7 by the disc spring pressure plate 7.1.9, and then pressed against the connecting housing 7.1.6 by the disc spring.

[0090] In other embodiments, the inner clamp assembly of this utility model can be driven by two sets of locking device assemblies as described in Embodiment 1. Both sets can integrate pressure sensors, or only one pressure sensor can be integrated to reduce costs.

[0091] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
