Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A climbing crane which may be installed or disassembled at a place away from a construction site by using a carrier on which detachably mounted is a mast or tower frame on which in turn a climbing frame including its superstructure and climbing menas is mounted.

Description

7;2~-~

The present invention relates to a climbing crane. 1~e climbing cranes whlch are used for various construction ~orks are statiQnary or mobile.
In general a climbing crane is fabricated and then divided into a plurality of blocks in a factory, and these blocks are transported on heavy ~uty trucks to a construction site. ~t the construction site the climbing crane must be m stalled while oth~r building works or the like æ e being carried on accord-ing to schedules so that the crane installation period is limited and further-more the installation is dangerQus. Same is ~rue for remcving the crane, subdividing it and transporting the blocks to another ~ob site.
One purpose of the present invention is therefore to provide a climbing crane which may be installed and removed in a safeguarded manner withcut interfering~ various works being carried on a construction site.
~ nother purpose of the present invention is to provide a climbing crane which may be assembled at a suitable place near a construction site and then m~ved to the constructiQn site and which may be moved from the constructionisite to a suitable place and then disassembled for transportation 7~ to ar.other job site.
A further purpose of the present invention is to provide a climbing~
~ crane which may permit the safeguara3d installation or disasse0bly ar~ crane ; 20 cperations.
- ~- This invention relates ~o a climbing crane wherein a mast or tower frame is detachably moun~ed on a carrier; a climbing frame, including its superstructure ard climbing means, m~unted on said mast or tcwer frame to effect relative veLtical mavement of the climbing frame on said mast or tcwer frame thrcugh the action of said climbing means; and further including climbing-frame supporting frames or beams each having an outrigger at its low~r end, each climbing-frame ~lpporting frc~me or keam extending astride said carrier and haqing its up~er side o~ end detach~bly attached to said climbLng frame.
; 30 Ihe present inventicn will beacme more apparent from the following description of one preferred embo~iment t~ereof taken in conjunction with the acccmpanying drawings, in which~

Figure 5 i.5 a cro55 sectional vei~ taken.along the line V~V of Figure 4;
Figures 6 - 15 are vie~s used for the explanation of the movement ~
of the climbing crane to or away from a-construction site and of the instal- ;
lation and disassembly; and Figures 16 and 17 are views used for the explanation of the:climb ing crane when used as a traveling crane.
First referring to Figures l- 3, a mast or tower frame 2 is mount-ed on a carrier l and securely held thereto with bolts 3. In this embodiment ~:
: 10 the carrier l is shown as a crawler mount with two parallel crawler belts or tracks, but it may be a truck mount which is a heavy-framed, ~Ibber-tired - .
carrier supported by two or more axles.
- ; S ',- ~ ~ ' Crawler frame 7 aæ~ securely supported by four crawler frame sup- :

:~ porting beams 5 each having its one end pivoted to a chassis with a pivot pin .

6 and its the other end removably pivoted or otherwise attached to the craw-:: , ler frame 7. Therefore as shown by dotted lines in Figure l and by the solid ;-~
: lines in Figure 2, the supporting beams 5 may be removed from the crawler frames 7 and swung inwardly to ~he positions in parallel with the crawler ~ ~
belts.. ; or *racks 4 and connected to supporting or staoilizing 10gs 8 so that ~ . :
the span between the supporting po mts may be increased and consequently the climbing crane may be securely stabilized even when handling a heavy load, -:
Next reerring to Figures 4 and 5, a climbing frame 9 is vertically :
movably mounted on the mast or tower frame 2, and climbing rollers lO are interposed between the:.mast or towe~ frame 2 and the climbing frame 9.
Mo~ted on the top of the climbing frame 9 is a rotary ring 11 upon which is mounted a rotating frame 12 with a crane operating machinery mounted thereon.
. The climbing frame 9 includes a climbing cylinder 13 and two vert- :

.i .. icaIly spaced locking or supporting arms 14 which are horizontally moved by a hydraulic cylinder toward or away from the mast or tower frame 2 for engagement ~'~97~

therewith or disengagement therefrom. ~hell tlle climbing cylinder 13 is extended when the locking or supporting arms 14 are in engagement with the mast or tower frame 2~ the climbing frame 9 is lif~ed. When the locking or supporting arms 1~ are disengaged from the mast or tower frame 2 the climb-ing frame 9 is oE course supported on the mast or t:ower frame 2 with suit-able means.
The climbing frame 9 may be supported at its four corners with four climbing-rame supporti~g frames 15. On0 end of the supporting frame 15 is removably attached with a pin 16 to the climbing frame 9 and ~he other end *hereof is terminated into an outrigger 17. The supporing frame 15 is extended out~ardly of the climbing frame 9 beyond the crawler belt or track 4 with the outrigger 17 standing on the ground. Thus the bolts 3 may be removed to separate the mast or tower frame 2 from the carrier 1 and ~he carrier 1 may be moved between the outriggers 17 out of the climbing crane which is now supported by the outriggers 17.
Next referring to Figures 6 to 15 the mode o installation and mov~ent of the climbing crane wil be described. The carrier 1 i5 transport-~ ed to an assembly site close to a construction site where the crane is to -~ be installed. The mast or tower frame 2 i5 mounted on the carrier 1 and 2Q securely held thereto with the bolts 3. Thereafter the climbing rame 9 is mo~mted on the mast or tower frame 2 and the climbing cylinder 13 and the locking or supporting arms 14 are mounted on the climbing frame 9. Next the ` superstructure including the rotating rame 12 and the operating machinery -~ is mounted on the climbing frame 9 as shown in Figure 6. Thereafter the carrier 1 carrying ~he superstIucture in the manner described above is moved to the construction site as indicated by an arrow in Figure 6. The carrier 1 is s;topped over a foundation 18 at the construction site as shown in Figure 7 and after *he mast or tower frame 2 and the foundation 18 have been corretl~ aligned the climbing-frame supporting frames 15 with the outriggers ~ 30 17 are attached to the climbing frame 9 in the manner described above and the .~ :

g72~

outriggers 17 are placed on the gro~md.
Thereafter the bolts 3 are removed to separate the mast or tower frams 2 from the carrier 1~ and the climbing cylinder 13 and the l~cking or supporting arms 14 are so actuated as to lift the mast or tower frame 2 away from the carrier 1 as shown in Figure 8, and the whole crane structure is now supported by the supporting frames 15 and their outriggers 17. Thereafter the carrier 1 is moved away from the crane so that the bottom of the mast or tower frame 2 is located immediately above the foundation 18 as shown in Figure 9.
Next the climbing cylinder 13 and the locking or supporting arms 14 are so actuated that the mast or tower frame 2 is lowered onto the found~
ation 18 and securely connec~ed thereto with anchor bolts or the like as shown in Figure~10. Thereafter the climbing frame supporting frames 15 and their outriggers 17 are removed. ~
Next the second mast or tower frame 2 is lifted and joined to the ~ ~ -first mast or to~er frame 2 anchored to the foundation 18 as shGwn in Figure ~; ~
. 1 ~
~ 11. In l~ke manner, the third, fourth and so-on tower frames 2 are sequenti-`I ally~lifted and joined so that the mast or tower frame structure may be in-creased in helght as high as desired as shown in Figure 12 and the loading
2~ and unloading operation may be started.
When the climbing crane is removed from the construction site and moved to another construction site, first the ~llmbing frame 9 with its super-structure is lowered and the climbing-frame supporting frames 15 ~ith the outriggers l7 are attached to ~he climbing frame 9 as shown in Flgure 13.
Thereafter the anchor bolts are removed to separate the mast or tower frame 2 from the foundation 18. The climbing cylinder 13 and the locking or support-ing arms 14 are so actuated that the mast or tower frame 2 is lifted away from the foundation 18 by a height sufficient to permit the carrier 1 to move ~ ;
~` under the mast or tower frame 2 as shown in Pigure 13. ~ex~ the carrier 1 is moved under the mast or ~er frame 2 and then the mast or tower frame 2 is 3972~;4 lo~ered and mo-mted on t~e carrier 1 and securely anchored thereto with the bolts 3 as s~own in Figure 14.
Next the suppor~ing frames 15 wi~h the outriggers 17 are remo~ed from the climbing :~rame 9, and the carrier 1 is moved toward the next constr-uction site as shown in ~igure 15. During the transportation the climbing r~ne 9 and t~e superstructure thereon must be in the lowest positions so that the center of gravity may be lowered as much as possible.
The climbing crane in accordance with the present invention may be also used as a traveling crane. Since, as described above, the climbing rame 9 and its su~erstructure may be held at the lowest position so as to lower the center of gravity, the crane may climb up or down a hill having a~
relatively large angle 9 as shown in Fi~re 16. At the working site the sup-porting beams 5 are extended and connected to the supporting or stabilizing legs 8 as sh~n in Figure 17,so that the effective area of contact between the traveling crane and the ground may be increased and consequently the crane `~
? ma~ be well stabilized during operation and handle a heavy load.
. .~ .
As described above, according to the present inve~tion the instal- ~ ;~
lation of the climbing crane may be carried out at a place away from a con~
st~uction si~e and then moved to the construction site so that the installa-tion will not be interferred by other construction works and ~ill not inter-fer other construction works. Therefore the installation is safe and may be completed as scheduled. Furthermore the climbing crane may be moved to any place by the carrier in a slmple manner, and since the center of gravity of the crane structure on the carrier is low, the carriér may climb up a re-latively steep hill. Thus when the climbing crane is moved a relatively short distance~ the disassem~ thereof and the transportation of the dis-assembled blocks by heavy trucks may be advantageously avoided. As a result, cons~derable time-savings may be attained when the crane is moved from one ~; cons~ruction site to another. Furthermore the climbing crane in accordance 3Q ~it~ the present inve~tion may be used as a traveling crane as described above.

~ 5 -7Z~;~

Moreover because of the provision of the climbing-frame supporting frames with the outriggers, the anchoring oE the mast or tower Erame to the fo~mdat:ion :~
or the removal o:E the mast or tower frame therefrom may be sa~eguarded. More-over the crawler-frame supporting beams may be removed, extended and attached to the supporting or stabllizing less so that the ef:Eective area of contact between the crane carrier and the ground may be increased and consequently : . :
the crane may be supported in a stabilized manner. As a result the working capacity of ~he climbing cra e as a traveling crane may be m~ch increased.
