Definitions
- the invention relates to a ring lift crane according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a genre-trained ring lift crane is known from the company brochure Mannesmann Demag construction machinery "Ringlift Cranes" CC 2000 RL; CC 4000 RL,
- This known ring lift crane has a ring which can be erected and a ring which forms a circular carriageway and which consists of a plurality of segments which can be connected to one another.
- An undercarriage and a superstructure which is rotatably connected to it and has several winches is arranged within the ring.
- the superstructure is connected in each of the two end regions with an adapter, which is supported on the circular path of the ring by means of roller sets which are arranged on the adapters and are connected to one another by means of rockers.
- the center of the ring or undercarriage forms the axis of rotation.
- One adapter is for receiving a counterweight and the other adapter as a supporting element for a boom that can be arranged at the free end of the adapter
- the rotary movement of the ring lift crane is generated by means of a toothed ring arranged on the inside of the ring and a pinion which engages in it and is mounted on rockers.
- the undercarriage is connected to various sections of the ring via stiffening struts.
- the top of the mast is connected to the counterweight on the one hand by means of a guy and on the other hand to the head of the main boom by means of a length-adjustable rope guy.
- This ring lift crane consists of an erectable ring that forms a circular carriageway - 2 -
- the platform is connected to an adapter in each of the two end regions, which are supported in a rolling manner on the ring by means of roller sets arranged on the adapters, the center of the ring forming the axis of rotation for the platform.
- a main boom and a mast (counter jib) are attached to the front adapter.
- the one-piece ring is stiffened by struts running secant and within the ring.
- ring lift cranes of the type explained above can only be erected or put down in a complex assembly and disassembly process.
- the object of the invention is to provide a ring lift crane of the generic type, which can be erected and stored in a simple manner.
- a guy support is arranged on the side of the mast facing the counterweight.
- the free end of this guy support is connected to the free end of the support rods of the counterweight via a length-adjustable rope guying.
- the free end of the rope guying is in turn connected to an auxiliary winch arranged on the support element.
- connection between the guy support and the winch is made via a cable drive with roller sets arranged on the free end of the guy support and on the support rods.
- the length and the articulation point on the mast of the guy support are chosen so that after erecting the mast the 3 -
- Head area of the guy support can be placed on the counterweight. This has the advantage that the winch operation remains freely accessible even from the side of the guy support.
- Figure 5 shows a detail of the hanging of the guy
- Figure 6 shows a detailed view of the storage of the guy support
- FIG. 7 view in the direction X in FIG. 2
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram in a first position of the arrangement of a mast 1 before it is erected.
- the movable ring lift crane shown here consists of an undercarriage, here a crawler track 2 and a support element 3 arranged above it and projecting on both sides as a bridge girder.
- the ring is designed as a double ring 4.
- the double ring 4 is raised on the floor 6 by means of several supports 5.
- a piston-cylinder unit 7, 7 ' is arranged at the ends of the support element 3.
- the piston-cylinder units 7, 7 ' are designed such that they can lift the ring lift crane as a whole in order to lock the support element 3 with the crawler chassis 2.
- the main winches 8-1 11 are arranged in the central region of the support element 3.
- a counterweight 12 is arranged on the support element 3, which by Support rods 13, 14 is supported laterally.
- the mast 1 is articulated.
- a guy support 15 is articulated on the side facing the counterweight 12 for erecting and depositing the mast 1.
- the free end of the guy support is connected on the one hand to a guy 16 and on the other hand to a length-adjustable rope guy 17.
- the other end of the cable guying 17 is connected to the head region of the support rods 13, 14 of the counterweight 12. From there, the free end of the cable 32 runs to an auxiliary winch 20 arranged on the support element.
- the direction of installation for the guy support 15 is indicated by an arrow 18.
- a platform 19 is alternatively built on the head area.
- FIG. 2 shows a further position in which, after the guy support 15 has been set up and the guy 16 under tension, the mast 1 is shortly before it is raised.
- the installation direction for the mast 1 is marked with an arrow 21.
- FIG 3 the partial erection of the mast 1 and the articulated arrangement of the main boom 22 is shown in a further position.
- a trestle 23 is built in the head region of the main boom 22.
- FIG. 4 shows the end position of the mast 1 shortly before the main boom 22 is raised in a last position. The details of this final phase are shown as detail A in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the end region of the guy support 15 has a web plate 25 provided with a connecting eye 24 for fastening the guy 16.
- the head region of the support rods 13, 14 is provided with two web plates 27, 29 each provided with a connecting eye 26, 28.
- a roller set 30 Arranged on the web plate 29 facing the guy support 15 is a roller set 30, which is arranged with a roller set 31 arranged in an oscillating manner by means of a bracket 33 on the guy support 15 - 5 -
- FIG. 5 now shows a position in which, by tightening the cable guying 17 to the shortest distance, the guying 16 is relieved, so that it can be transferred from the end of the guy support 15 to the support rods 13, 14 according to arrow 34.
- the cable guying 17 can be deposited on the upper edge of the counterweight 12 by means of the support plate 35.
- the guy support 15 is thus relieved and the mast 1 is fixed via the guy 16, which is now firmly connected to the support rods 13, 14 of the counterweight 12.
- FIG. 7 shows a view in the direction X in FIG. 2.
- the one-sided arrangement of the auxiliary winch 20 and the roller set 30 outside the area of the main winches 8-11 can be seen.
