DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] Before describing the control method for mounting counterweights by the hoisting equipment, the specific structure of the hoisting equipment will be introduced first for the convenience of understanding.

[0052] Fig. 4 illustrates one of the schematic diagrams of the three-dimensional structure of the hoisting equipment provided by the present application, Fig. 5 illustrates another of the schematic diagrams of the three-dimensional structure of the hoisting equipment provided by the present application, and Fig. 6 illustrates a third of the schematic diagrams of the three-dimensional structure of the hoisting equipment provided by the present application. As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the hoisting equipment comprises a vehicle frame 20, a slewing assembly 30, a counterweight oil cylinder 40, a slewing bolt 60, a counterweight block 50 and a rotary table locking block. The rotary table locking block, the slewing assembly 30 and the counterweight block 50 are all arranged on the vehicle frame 20, and the counterweight oil cylinder 40 and the slewing bolt 60 are both arranged on the slewing assembly 30.

[0053] As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the slewing assembly 30 comprises a slewing mechanism 31 and a rotary table 32. The slewing mechanism 31 is rotatably arranged on the vehicle frame 20. One end of the rotary table 32 is connected with the slewing mechanism 31, and the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is arranged at the other end of the rotary table 32. In the present embodiment, two counterweight oil cylinders 40 are arranged, and the two counterweight oil cylinders 40 are symmetrically arranged.

[0054] Further, Fig. 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the counterweight block provided by the present application. As shown in Fig. 7, the counterweight block 50 is provided with a lowering hole 52 and a lifting hole 53. The lowering hole 52 and the lifting hole 53 are communicated. The lowering hole 52 and the lifting hole 53 cooperatively constitute a positioning hole for positioning the counterweight oil cylinder 40. The positioning hole is a waist-shaped hole. The positioning hole is provided with two waist-shaped holes. The positions of the two waist-shaped holes correspond to the positions of the two counterweight oil cylinders 40 one by one. The counterweight oil cylinder 40 enters the inside of the waist-shaped hole through the lowering hole 52. The clamping piece 51 is arranged in the lifting hole 53. When the counterweight oil cylinder 40 enters the lifting hole 53, the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is clamped and cooperated with the clamping piece 51. The counterweight block 50 is installed.

[0055] Fig. 1 illustrates a perspective structural schematic diagram of the turntable locking block provided by the present application, Fig. 2 illustrates a top view structural schematic diagram of the turntable locking block provided by the present application, and Fig. 3 is a side view structural schematic diagram along the section line A-A in Fig. 2. As shown in Figs. 1-3, the turntable locking block comprises a locking block body 10, which is provided with at least one locking pin hole for locking cooperation with the slewing pin 60. The locking pin hole for locking cooperation with the slewing pin 60 when the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is mounted with the counterweight is an oval hole.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, the slewing pin 60 is provided with a first proximity switch (not shown) electrically connected with the control device. When the slewing pin 60 is inserted into the locking pin hole, the first proximity switch is triggered to output a first position signal for representing that the slewing pin is inserted into position. When the slewing pin 60 is pulled out of the locking pin hole, the first proximity switch outputs the first position signal for representing that the slewing pin is unlocked.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is provided with a second proximity switch (not shown) electrically connected with the control device. When the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is inserted into the lowering hole 52, the second proximity switch is triggered to output a second position signal for representing that the counterweight oil cylinder is inserted into the lowering hole 52. The counterweight oil cylinder 40 is provided with a pressure sensor electrically connected with the control device. When the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is retracted, the pressure sensor is triggered to output a third position signal for representing that the counterweight oil cylinder is stuck in the lifting hole 53, at which time the counterweight is mounted.

[0058] The turntable locking block provided by the present application sets the locking pin hole for locking cooperation with the slewing pin 60 when the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is mounted with the counterweight as an oval hole. Even if the center of gravity of the turntable 32 is offset due to the mounting of the counterweight, the slewing pin 60 can still normally enter the locking pin hole, which shortens the mounting time of the counterweight and improves work efficiency.

[0059] It should be noted here that the locking pin hole can be one, two, three or more, which is determined according to the number of actions performed by the counterweight oil cylinder 40.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figs. 1-3, the locking block body 10 is in a strip-shaped block structure, which is fixedly arranged on the vehicle frame 20. The locking block body 10 can be welded on the vehicle frame 20, or fixed on the vehicle frame 20 through bolts, or integrally formed with the vehicle frame 20. The material of the locking block body 10 is metal material, preferably metal iron or metal steel.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the locking block body 10 is the direction indicated by the X arrow in FIG. 2, and the width direction of the locking block body 10 is the direction indicated by the Y arrow in FIG. 2. The length of the locking block body 10 is 400-500 mm, and preferably, the length of the locking block body 10 is 450 mm. The width of the locking block body 10 is 80-120 mm, and preferably, the width of the locking block body 10 is 100 mm. The height of the locking block body 10 is 30-50 mm, and preferably, the height of the locking block body 10 is 40 mm.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the locking block body 10 is provided with a first locking pin hole 11 and a second locking pin hole 12, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the locking block body 10. The first locking pin hole 11 is used for locking cooperation with the rotating pin 60 when the rotating table 32 is rotated to a first angle, at which time the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is just above the first end of the positioning hole.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the second locking pin hole 12 is an elliptical hole. Since the second locking pin hole 12 is an elliptical hole, in order to facilitate the description of the positional relationship between the second locking pin hole 12 and the locking block body 10, the major axis and the minor axis of the ellipse are introduced to describe the second locking pin hole 12. In this embodiment, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 is parallel to the width direction of the locking block body 10, that is, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 is perpendicular to the length direction of the locking block body 10. Of course, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 can also form an acute angle with the width direction of the locking block body 10, and preferably, the acute angle is less than 30 degrees. By making the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 form an acute angle with the width direction of the locking block body 10, when the rotating pin 60 enters the second locking pin hole 12, the gap between the rotating pin 60 and the inner wall of the second locking pin hole 12 becomes smaller and smaller when the rotating pin 60 moves along the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12, thereby avoiding the rotating pin 60 from wobbling in the second locking pin hole 12.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the second locking pin hole 12 is an elliptical hole. Since the second locking pin hole 12 is an elliptical hole, in order to facilitate the description of the positional relationship between the second locking pin hole 12 and the locking block body 10, the major axis and the minor axis of the ellipse are introduced to describe the second locking pin hole 12. In this embodiment, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 is parallel to the width direction of the locking block body 10, that is, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 is perpendicular to the length direction of the locking block body 10. Of course, the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 can also form an acute angle with the width direction of the locking block body 10, and preferably, the acute angle is less than 30 degrees. By making the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12 form an acute angle with the width direction of the locking block body 10, when the rotating pin 60 enters the second locking pin hole 12, the gap between the rotating pin 60 and the inner wall of the second locking pin hole 12 becomes smaller and smaller when the rotating pin 60 moves along the major axis of the second locking pin hole 12, thereby avoiding the rotating pin 60 from wobbling in the second locking pin hole 12.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, at least one end of the locking block body 10 is provided with a first guide inclined surface 13, which is located on the top surface of the locking block body 10. The first guide inclined surface 13 is used to provide a guide function for the rotating pin 60, so that the rotating pin 60 can reach the top surface of the locking block body 10.

[0066] For the lock block body 10 without the first guide slope 13, when the operator uses the manual rotary latch 60, the rotary latch 60 will abut against the end surface of the two ends of the lock block body 10, and the movement of the rotary latch 60 is blocked, so that the rotary latch 60 cannot reach the top surface of the lock block body 10, and the rotary latch 60 cannot enter the lock pin hole. By arranging the first guide slope 13 at least at one end of the lock block body 10, the thickness of the two ends of the lock block body 10 is reduced. When the manual rotary latch 60 or the rotary latch 60 is advanced to the position, the rotary latch 60 will abut against the first guide slope 13, and the rotary latch 60 is slid upward by the first guide slope 13, so that the rotary latch 60 can smoothly reach the top surface of the lock block body 10 and finally slide into the lock pin hole.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the two ends of the lock block body 10 are provided with the first guide slope 13, and the length and width of the two first guide slopes 13 are the same, and the two first guide slopes 13 are inclined downward in directions away from each other, that is, the two first guide slopes 13 are symmetrically arranged. Since the two ends of the lock block body 10 are provided with the first guide slope 13, the thickness of the end of the lock block body 10 is reduced, so that the rotary latch 60 can smoothly reach the top surface of the lock block body 10.

[0068] It should be noted here that the first guide slope 13 in the present embodiment is an inclined plane, and of course the first guide slope 13 can also be an inclined arc surface.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the included angle between the two first guide slopes 13 and the bottom surface of the lock block body 10 is equal, that is, the inclination angles of the two first guide slopes 13 are the same. By making the inclination angles of the two first guide slopes 13 the same, the two ends of the lock block body 10 are symmetrical, and in the processing process, the positions of the first lock pin hole 11 and the second lock pin hole 12 do not need to be considered, and only in the installation process, the positions of the first lock pin hole 11 and the second lock pin hole 12 need to be considered, which simplifies the processing technology of the lock block body 10 and improves the production efficiency.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the edge of the lock pin hole is provided with a second guide slope 14 inclined downward toward the lock pin hole, and the arrangement of the second guide slope 14 increases the opening size of the lock pin hole to some extent, facilitating the rotary latch 60 to enter the lock pin hole.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the edges of the first lock pin hole 11 and the second lock pin hole 12 are provided with the second guide slope 14, and the inclination angles of the second guide slopes 14 of the first lock pin hole 11 and the second lock pin hole 12 are the same.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the top of the locking block body 10 is provided with a guide groove (not shown) located between the first locking pin hole 11 and the second locking pin hole 12, one end of the guide groove communicates with the first locking pin hole 11, the other end of the guide groove communicates with the second locking pin hole 12, and the depth of the guide groove is less than the depth of the first locking pin hole 11 and the depth of the second locking pin hole 12. The guide groove is used to guide the swivel bolt 60 during the process of sliding from the first locking pin hole 11 to the second locking pin hole 12, so that the swivel bolt 60 can smoothly enter the second locking pin hole 12.

[0073] The control method of the hoisting equipment for mounting the counterweight is described below in combination with FIGS. 8-9.

[0074] The hoisting equipment includes a slewing assembly 30, a counterweight cylinder 40, a counterweight block 50, a swivel bolt 60, and a turntable locking block provided with a locking pin hole, and the control method of the hoisting equipment for mounting the counterweight includes:

[0075] Step S100, in response to a mounting start instruction, controlling the slewing assembly 30 to rotate to a predetermined angle;

[0076] Step S200, in the case where the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the predetermined angle, controlling the position relationship between the swivel bolt 60 and the locking pin hole to be adjusted, and obtaining a first position signal triggered by the swivel bolt 60;

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, the locking pin hole includes a first locking pin hole 11, and the predetermined angle includes a first predetermined angle, and in the case where the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the first predetermined angle, controlling the position relationship between the swivel bolt 60 and the locking pin hole to be adjusted, and obtaining a first position signal triggered by the swivel bolt 60 includes:

[0080] Controlling the swivel bolt 60 to be inserted into the first locking pin hole 11, and obtaining a first position signal representing that the swivel bolt 60 is inserted into place.

[0081] When the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the first predetermined angle, the rotation pin 60 is above the first locking hole 11, the control device controls the rotation pin 60 to be inserted into the first locking hole 11, and when the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the first locking hole 11, the first proximity switch is triggered to output a first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the first locking hole 11, the control device acquires the first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the first locking hole 11, and determines that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the first locking hole 11. Otherwise, the control device controls the hoisting equipment to stop working to prevent safety accidents.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, when the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the first predetermined angle, the control device controls the position relationship between the rotation pin 60 and the locking hole, and acquires the first position signal triggered by the rotation pin 60, including:

[0083] The control device controls the rotation pin 60 to be pulled out of the first locking hole 11, and acquires a first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is unlocked.

[0084] The control device controls the rotation pin 60 to be pulled out of the first locking hole 11, and when the rotation pin 60 is pulled out of the first locking hole 11, the first proximity switch is triggered to output a first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is unlocked. After the control device acquires the first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is unlocked, it is determined that the rotation pin 60 is unlocked, and the control device controls the rotating platform 32 to rotate to the second predetermined angle.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the locking hole further includes a second locking hole 12, and the predetermined angle further includes a second predetermined angle. When the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the second predetermined angle, the control device controls the position relationship between the rotation pin 60 and the locking hole, and acquires the first position signal triggered by the rotation pin 60, including:

[0086] The control device controls the rotation pin 60 to be inserted into the second locking hole 12, and acquires a first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the second locking hole 12.

[0087] When the slewing assembly 30 rotates to the second predetermined angle, the rotation pin 60 is above the second locking hole 12, the control device controls the rotation pin 60 to be inserted into the second locking hole 12, and when the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the second locking hole 12, the first proximity switch is triggered to output a first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the second locking hole 12, the control device acquires the first position signal for indicating that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the second locking hole 12, and determines that the rotation pin 60 is inserted into the second locking hole 12.

[0090] The counterweight cylinder 40 is controlled to extend so that the counterweight cylinder 40 is inserted into the lowering hole 52.

[0091] When the rotary latch 60 is inserted into the first locking pin hole 11, the counterweight cylinder 40 is above the lowering hole 52, and when the first position signal represents that the rotary latch 60 is inserted into the first locking pin hole 11, the control device controls the counterweight cylinder 40 to extend, and the counterweight cylinder 40 is inserted into the lowering hole 52.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the step of controlling the counterweight cylinder 40 to perform the mounting action on the counterweight 50 further includes:

[0093] A second position signal representing that the counterweight cylinder 40 is inserted into the lowering hole 52 is acquired.

[0097] The counterweight oil cylinder 40 is controlled to retract, and the counterweight oil cylinder 40 enters the lifting hole 53 and is in clamping connection with the clamping piece 51. When the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is controlled to retract, the counterweight oil cylinder 40 bears a large pressure, triggering the pressure sensor to output a third position signal for indicating that the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is clamped into the lifting hole 53, and the control device acquires the third position signal for indicating that the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is clamped into the lifting hole 53, and determines that the counterweight oil cylinder 40 is clamped into the lifting hole 53.

[0103] In the case where it is determined that the hoisting equipment is in the safe state, the slewing assembly 30 is controlled to rotate to a predetermined angle.

[0104] Before performing the step of controlling the slewing assembly 30 to rotate to a predetermined angle, it is determined whether the hoisting equipment is in a safe state in which the counterweight can be automatically mounted, to prevent safety accidents in the process of mounting the counterweight. Specifically, it is determined whether the hoisting equipment is in a safe state in which the counterweight can be automatically mounted, which needs to satisfy one of the following conditions:
