When a working condition of sudden load loss such as rope breakage occurs in the hoisting process, or the moment of the gravity centers of the tower arms at the two sides of the tower 200 is seriously unbalanced and exceeds the damping moment of the damping device 140 due to the uncontrolled movement of the movable counterweight, referring to fig. 2, the tower arm 110 can rotate from the horizontal position to the vertical position around the first axis, and the boom resilience force and the moment difference at the two sides of the tower 200 generated due to the sudden load loss are partially converted into the kinetic energy of the tower arm 110, so that the direct impact of the tower arm 110 on the tower 200 is avoided, the bending moment borne by the tower 200 is reduced, and then, as the rotation angle of the tower arm 110 increases, the moment difference at the two sides of the tower 200 is gradually reduced, and under the action of the damping device 140, the moving tower arm 110 slowly stops, and the moment at the two sides of the tower 200 is restored to be balanced at a certain angle.
In a particular embodiment, upper vertical slewing bearing 120 further includes a second shaft 123 and a second bearing 124 having a second shaft axis, the second shaft axis being parallel to the first shaft axis, the first and second shaft axes being adjacent to the jib and boom, respectively, the second shaft 123 being fixedly coupled to one of tower arm 110 and upper slewing bearing 190, the second bearing 124 being fixedly coupled to the other of tower arm 110 and upper slewing bearing 190 to allow tower arm 110 to slew between a vertical position and a horizontal position about the second shaft axis.

Under the condition of tower crane overload, referring to fig. 3, the tower arm 110 can rotate from the horizontal position to the vertical position around the second axial line, so that the direct influence of overload on the tower 200 is avoided, and under the condition that a sensing system fails, an operator can sense an abnormal state and stop hoisting operation in time.
In a specific embodiment, a lower vertical slewing bearing 130 is further disposed at the lower end of the tower frame 200, the lower vertical slewing bearing 130 is adopted to complete assembling and disassembling of the tower crane without depending on a jacking device, so that cost is saved, the lower vertical slewing bearing 130 comprises a third rotating shaft and a third bearing, the third rotating shaft is provided with a third axis, and the third axis is parallel to the first axis or the second axis. A third pivot shaft and a third bearing are fixedly connected to the tower 200 and the foundation 210, respectively, to pivot the tower 200 about the third axis between a vertical position and a horizontal position. Thus, the tower 200 in the horizontal position, which has been assembled, can be turned upside down, or the tower 200 in the vertical position, which is to be disassembled, can be turned upside down and laid flat.
In a particular embodiment, the first bearing 122 and the second bearing 124 include an open slot with an arc-shaped upper section and a bearing slot with a semicircular lower section. Referring to fig. 4, when the tower arm 110 rotates around one of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123, one of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 rotates in the holding groove of its corresponding bearing, and the other of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 slides in the opening groove of its corresponding bearing. The arc centers of the opening grooves with arc-shaped sections at the upper parts of the sections are the centers of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 respectively. When the tower arm 110 rotates around one of the rotation shafts, the other rotation shaft can slide in the arc-shaped opening groove of the upper vertical pivoting support 120 to ensure the stability of the tower arm 110 during the rotation.
In a specific embodiment, the movable counterweight control unit includes a rotation shaft stress sensor, a movable counterweight driving device, and a main control module, the rotation shaft stress sensor is configured to monitor stress states of the first rotation shaft 121 and the second rotation shaft 123, the main control module sends a driving instruction to the movable counterweight driving device according to the stress states of the first rotation shaft 121 and the second rotation shaft 123, and the movable counterweight driving device drives the movable counterweight 170 to move in the length direction of the tower arm 110 according to the received driving instruction.
In one embodiment, the movable weights 170 include a balance arm movable weight provided on the balance arm and a boom movable weight provided on the boom, and in the idle or walking state, the balance arm movable weight and the boom movable weight are both located at initial positions close to the tower 200, so that the center of gravity of the balance arm side and the boom side is closer to the tower 200, and the tower crane is prevented from overturning. Before the hoisting operation starts, the movable balance weight of the balance arm and the movable balance weight of the crane boom respectively move to positions close to the outer ends of the balance arm and the crane boom, the movable balance weight of the balance arm keeps the positions unchanged in the hoisting operation process, and the movable balance weight of the crane boom dynamically adjusts the positions through the movable balance weight control unit to keep the stress balance of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123. Under the combined action of the movable counterweight of the crane boom and the lifting load, the stress state and the deformation of the crane boom can be kept relatively constant. The movable counterweight of the crane boom is arranged on the crane boom, so that the problem of hoisting precision can be solved, if no special hoisting precision requirement exists, the movable counterweight does not need to be arranged on the crane boom, and only the movable counterweight needs to be arranged on the balance arm.
In a specific embodiment, the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 can directly reflect the moment balance condition on both sides of the tower 200, so the stressed state of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 is detected by the rotating shaft stress sensor of the movable weight control unit, and preferably, the movable weight driving device drives the movable weight 170 to move according to the stressed state of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 under normal working conditions. The movable weight driving device is generally in an unactuated state, and does not drive the movable weight 170 to move; when the difference value of the stress states of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 exceeds a preset threshold value, the movable counterweight driving device is started to drive the movable counterweight 170 to move.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, under normal operation, the movable weight 170 moves according to the load moment variation, keeping the moment balance on both sides of the tower arm 110, referring to position a of fig. 13. In the tower crane idle state, the movable counterweight 170 and hook move to a position near the tower arm 110; in the tower crane walking state, the movable weight 170 falls down onto the temporary storage rack of the base 210, referring to the position C of fig. 13. Before the tower crane reaches the hoisting station site to begin the hoisting operation, the movable counterweight 170 is raised from the base 210 onto the tower arm 110, see position B of fig. 13. Therefore, the bending moment born by the tower 200 in the working, idle and walking states of the tower crane can be reduced, so that the specification size, the weight and the cost of the tower 200 can be reduced.
In a specific embodiment, the movable counterweight control unit further includes a load sensor and a movable counterweight position sensor, the load sensor and the movable counterweight position sensor are respectively used for monitoring a load moment and a movable counterweight moment, the main control module calculates a difference value of the moments at two sides of the balance arm and the crane boom through the load moment and the movable counterweight moment, compares the difference value with the stress states of the first rotating shaft 121 and the second rotating shaft 123 monitored by the rotating shaft stress sensor, and judges whether to stop the hoisting operation according to a comparison result. So as to avoid safety accidents caused by the faults of the sensing system.
In another embodiment, a detachable weight 250 is further included, and the detachable weight 250 is disposed on the balance arm, such that when the tower arm 110 rotates to a certain angle, the detachable weight 250 begins to detach from the tower arm 110 and fall to the ground. In the preferred embodiment, the dropping weight 250 is disposed at the end of the balance arm, and when the tower arm 110 rotates to a certain angle, the dropping weight 250 is divided into a plurality of parts to drop off in sequence until the moment on both sides of the tower 200 is balanced and the tower arm 110 stops rotating. In a particular embodiment, the droppable weight 250 comprises a number of weight segments and/or fillers which automatically slide down step by step under the influence of gravity during rotation of the tower arm 110, independent of the control system, thereby avoiding risks associated with control system failure. Under accident conditions such as rope breakage, the difficulty of achieving rebalancing on two sides is high only by moving the movable counterweight 170, large damping force is needed only by restoring rebalancing under the action of the damping device, the reduction degree of the bending moment borne by the tower frame 200 is limited, the design value of the damping force of the damping device can be reduced by adopting the mode of the detachable counterweight 250, the moment balance at two ends of the tower arm 110 can be restored quickly, the bending moment borne by the tower frame is reduced greatly, and therefore the purposes of effectively simplifying the tower frame structure and improving the safety are achieved.
