Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of standard section technology, and in particular to a standard section connection structure for tower cranes. Background Technology
[0002] Tower crane standard sections are core steel structure components of cranes, tower cranes, and other equipment. They are used to change the height of the tower and enhance the stability and safety of the equipment. The main body is constructed by welding four seamless steel pipe main limbs with a triangular steel frame. Standard sections are generally assembled in a modular fashion to meet the construction needs of tower cranes of different heights. The weight of a single section is strictly controlled within the range of 450-500 kg, which facilitates transportation and on-site hoisting.
[0003] Currently, the installation structure of most standard tower crane sections is located on the side wall of the standard section. The upper and lower standard sections are fixed by the connecting structure installed on the side wall. This connecting structure located on the side wall is prone to swaying in extreme winds. Therefore, the current standard section connection structure has limited wind resistance. At the same time, in order to facilitate personnel to enter and exit the tower crane cab, ladders are usually installed inside the standard section for personnel to climb. However, since tower cranes are generally quite tall, personnel sometimes need to rest in between while climbing. The current standard section lacks a place for personnel to rest temporarily.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a standard section connection structure for tower cranes, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a standard section connection structure for a tower crane, comprising a standard section body, with fixed columns fixedly installed at the four corners of the upper end of the outer wall of the standard section body, and a cross-shaped insertion column fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the fixed column, the cross-shaped insertion column having a threaded hole, a connecting plate fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer wall of the standard section body, a sleeve fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the connecting plate, the upper end of the inner wall of the sleeve having a cross-shaped insertion groove, the cross-shaped insertion groove being inserted into the cross-shaped insertion column.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer wall of the sleeve is provided with a connecting hole that penetrates the cross-shaped insertion groove, and a locking screw that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole is inserted into the connecting hole, and a fixing nut is threadedly connected to the locking screw.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a ladder is fixedly installed inside the standard section body, and a protective fence is fixedly connected to the outside of the ladder.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed column, and four connecting blocks are simultaneously fixedly connected to a partition. An arc-shaped opening is provided at one end of the partition near the protective fence.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a protective net is fixedly installed in the middle of the partition.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, each side of the outer wall of the standard section body is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib.
[0012] This utility model provides a standard section connection structure for tower cranes, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0013] 1. In use, this utility model uses the insertion between the sleeve and the fixing post to initially position and align the upper and lower standard sections.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution for a standard section connection structure for tower cranes: It includes a standard section body 100, with fixed posts 200 fixedly installed at the four corners of the upper part of the outer wall of the standard section body 100. A cross-shaped insertion post 210 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the fixed post 200, and threaded holes 410 are provided on the cross-shaped insertion post 210. A connecting plate 300 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the outer wall of the standard section body 100, and a sleeve 310 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the connecting plate 300. A cross-shaped insertion groove 320 is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the sleeve 310. The cross-shaped insertion slot 320 is inserted into the cross-shaped insertion post 210. When the standard section body 100 needs to be installed, the upper standard section body 100 is moved above the lower standard section body 100 by a crane. The position of the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 is initially positioned and aligned by the insertion between the sleeve 310 and the fixing post 200. Then, the position of the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 is locked by the insertion between the cross-shaped insertion slot 320 and the cross-shaped insertion post 210, reducing horizontal swaying during connection. The outer wall of the sleeve 310 has a connecting hole 400 that penetrates the cross-shaped insertion slot 320. A locking screw 420 that is threaded into the threaded hole 410 is inserted into the connecting hole 400. A fixing nut 430 is threaded onto the locking screw 420. By inserting the locking screw 420 and tightening the fixing nut 430, the position of the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 can be fixed and locked. Each side of the outer wall of the standard section body 100 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing rib 110, which can increase the support strength of each standard section body 100.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a ladder 500 is fixedly installed inside the standard section body 100, and a protective fence 510 is fixedly connected to the outside of the ladder 500.

Connecting blocks 600 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed column 200, and four connecting blocks 600 are simultaneously fixedly connected to partitions 610. The end of the partition 610 near the protective fence 510 has an arc-shaped opening 630, which allows personnel to easily pass through the partition 610. By installing partitions 610 in each standard section body 100, personnel can conveniently take a rest while climbing the ladder 500. A protective net 620 is fixedly installed in the middle of the partition 610, which reduces the weight of the partition 610 while ensuring its safety.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to install the standard section body 100, the upper standard section body 100 is moved above the lower standard section body 100 by a crane. The position between the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 is initially positioned and aligned by the insertion between the sleeve 310 and the fixing post 200. Then, the position of the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 is locked by the insertion between the cross-shaped insertion slot 320 and the cross-shaped insertion post 210 to reduce horizontal shaking during connection. The position between the upper and lower standard section bodies 100 can be fixed and locked by inserting the locking screw 420 and tightening the fixing nut 430. Meanwhile, the device allows personnel to easily climb upwards inside the standard section body 100 via the ladder 500, and the protective fence 510 protects personnel while climbing the ladder 500 to prevent accidental falls inside the standard section body 100. The device also allows personnel to take breaks while climbing the ladder 500 by installing partitions 610 in each standard section body 100. A protective net 620 is fixedly installed in the middle of the partition 610, which can reduce the weight of the partition 610 while ensuring its safety.
