Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, specifically to a vacuum suction cup lifting equipment for lifting precast concrete ring components. Background Technology
[0002] In the traditional hoisting of concrete ring components, the components are often lifted vertically using horizontal clamps.

[0003] With the development of industrialized construction and the rapid advancement of production line automation, vacuum suction cup lifting equipment is increasingly widely used in the construction of precast tunnel segments and wind turbine hybrid tower segments.

[0040] In use, firstly, adjust the relative position of the adjustable hanger 4 to the main beam 3 of the vacuum chamber according to the size of the ring component. After confirming the position, use a pin to pass through the corresponding pin hole and positioning hole to fix the adjustable hanger 4. Then, rotate all the unit suction cups 7 to a suitable angle one by one to attach them to the surface of the ring component and turn on the independent vacuum pressure switch on the corresponding unit suction cup 7 to complete the adsorption. Finally, use a steel wire rope to connect the suction cup lifting lug 301 to the lifting device.
[0041] Compared to traditional vacuum suction cup lifting devices, this utility model has a more reasonable structure. The relative position of the adjustable lifting bracket on the main beam of the vacuum chamber is adjusted by sliding, and fixed with pins.
