Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for erecting bodies of a considerable height by means of a hoisting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method aiming to resolve this problem and further providing a smooth upliftment and provides therefor a method according to claim 1.
  • the invention likewise relates to a tripod hoisting device for erecting bodies of a considerable height according to the preamble of claim 2, which hoisting device comprises a standing tripod, a lifting unit supported by the upper part of the tripod, at least one hoisting cable controllable by the lifting unit and a lying base frame for fixing the position of the tripod.
  • This base frame which generally supports on the ground surface, makes an equilibrium of forces possible within the periphery of the installation, wherein the vertical force components react against the ground surface.
  • Such a tripod is known from US-A-5 387 186.
  • a tripod comprising a base frame is described in GB-A1 363 572.
  • the tripod according to the invention has a main object to erect bodies of a considerable height.
  • the invention therefore provides a tripod hoisting device according to claim 2. Preferred embodiments are described in claims 3-8.
  • Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the hoisting device as well as a method of erecting this device on base frame 1.
  • the basic form of this base frame 1 can be built up as in figures 1a and 1b.
  • the form as according to figure 1b with five fixation legs makes it possible to situate a foundation 9 for the object for erecting wholly or partially within the periphery of the hoisting device.
  • the choice of the dimensions and material of base frame 1 and of three legs of masts 2 and the rear mast 3 depends on the relevant application.
  • For the construction of the masts use can be made inter alia of elements which are designed such that water and land transport are considerably simplified, for instance in a standard size suitable for container transport.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically an embodiment of the method with the hoisting device depicted in figure 1, the starting position and an intermediate position of the object 4 for erecting, in addition to the hitching and control means determining the method, the coupling means in the form of a yoke 5 and the control cables or, in another application, the control cylinders 6. Hoisting takes place in this embodiment by means of a hydraulically operating lifting unit 7 and hoisting cable(s) 8 which are connected to yoke 5 via a hook, sling or anchor.
  • Figure 3 shows the object 4 erected and placed on its foundation 9.
  • the illustration makes clear that the method results in a considerable reduction in the height of the hoisting device.
  • Other advantages which this method provides are achieving of the required stability without the use of a generally bulky counterweight and combining of the mounting of control elements 6 on base frame 1, which makes an external anchoring unnecessary and wherein the whole play of forces can find equilibrium within the periphery of the hoisting device.
  • Figure 4 shows a hoisting device applied for the method wherein the rear leg 3 is formed by the jib of a for instance telescopic, mobile crane. It will be apparent that by adding the masts to such a crane in this manner the hoisting capacity is increased subject to hoisting height and/or weight of the load.
  • FIG. 5 shows schematically the preferred embodiment of coupling means 5 for the method of hitching the load.
  • These coupling means 5 can form part of the object for erecting as well as being fastened temporarily thereto in the form of an assist means.
  • These coupling means comprise a support frame 5a and a connecting element 5b for connection to the hoisting cable.
  • the construction, location and dimensions of the coupling means depend on the application. Particularly the span "a" of the coupling means will have to be chosen optimally.
  • Figure 6 elucidates in side view and top view of the method the deployment of control means 6.
  • These control means which are anchored on base frame 1 of the hoisting installation, can be formed by a system of cables or hydraulically operated cylinders or manipulators. The assembly of control elements is laid out such that the object can be pulled or pushed to the erection site and rotated in the required direction. The system is shown in the figure with the use of cables.
  • Control cables 6a and 6b are fastened to the object for erecting in the points 10a and 10b and guided to the capstans 12a and 12b via cable pulleys 11a and 11b. Cable pulleys 11 and capstans 12 can be mounted on the underside of masts 2 and 3 or directly onto base frame 1.
