Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of tower cranes having a lattice metal frame. More particularly, this invention relates to a removable assembly device for joining the mast elements of such a tower crane.
  • the mast of a tower crane may consist of stackable mast elements, intended to be assembled together, or separated from each other, depending on whether it is desired to raise or raise the crane, or on the contrary to disassemble it.
  • the mast elements usually of square horizontal section, each consist of four vertical corner members, joined in pairs on the four lateral faces of the mast element by a triangulation composed of horizontal crosspieces and oblique bars also called diagonals.
  • the mast members When the crane is mounted, the mast members are vertically arranged one above the other, and they are rigidly connected to each other by the close ends of their corner members.
  • the so-called "end-to-end" connections between the corner members must ensure the continuity of the mast uprights, as well as the transmission of the longitudinal and transverse forces resulting from the various stresses to which the crane is subjected.
  • all these devices comprise an end portion of a frame of a mast element, and a complementary end portion of an angle member of another mast element, as well as connecting means. between the two end parts.
  • a first category of splinting devices uses, for the connection of the ends of the frames of two consecutive mast elements, shear axes that is to say connecting axes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frames, ie in the position of use) horizontal axes, which pass through end portions of the kind "tenon" provided at the ends of the frames.
  • shear axes are in particular provided in two orthogonal directions.
  • Such assembly devices include patents European EP 0530114 and EP 0974546 , the patent application German DE 3936257 and the patent US 3511388 (The latter document, however, aimed at a crane boom).
  • a second category of splints employs pull bolts, which connect the ends of the frames of two consecutive mast members extending in an orientation parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frames, ie (in the use position) in a vertical direction.
  • two traction bolts are respectively disposed near two diametrically opposite angles of the ends of the frames to be connected.
  • the traction members must necessarily be arranged symmetrically with respect to the ribs.
  • the U.S. Patent 3,063,523 discloses a dismountable assembly device by "flat butt" connection with screw clamping means not protruding on the outer surfaces of the device.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all the previously mentioned disadvantages, and is therefore intended to provide a removable assembly device for the mast elements of a tower crane, which on the one hand removes all external asperities in order to allow a relative sliding of mast elements separated by a minimum clearance, and on the other hand minimizes the number of connecting members to allow a faster assembly and disassembly, the design of this assembly device being particularly suitable the specificity of the efforts to be transmitted between the mast elements of a tower crane
  • the screw clamping means comprise, on the one hand, a connecting screw with an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of said end portions, provided with a head with operating part housed in the recess of one of the end parts, and secondly, a nut secured to the other end part, the two end portions having bores of axis parallel to their longitudinal axis for the passage of the rod of the screw towards the nut.
  • the axis of the connecting screw passes substantially through the center of the section of the end portions of the corner members.
  • the removable assembly device uses in practice a single connecting screw which is arranged vertically inside the horizontal section of the frames and in particular their end portions, particularly in the center of the section. chords, the head of this screw is nevertheless made accessible for its maneuver using a suitable key, which eliminates any lateral asperity that would prevent the free sliding of one mast element relative to another.
  • a single connecting bolt per chord allows rapid assembly and disassembly of the mast of the crane concerned.
  • the bearing surfaces, one male and the other female, of the two half-splices transmit the shear forces and the torsion torques due to the wind and to the crane rotation forces, that of an element from one mast to the other, while facilitating the alignment of the corner members of these mast members, with catching of any misalignment of the members.
  • the head of the connecting screw comprises diametrical bores intended to receive an immobilization pin of the screw in the tight position.
  • a pin can here ensure immobilization in translation of the pin inserted into a diametrical bore of the head of the connecting screw. Thus, after complete tightening of the screw, it is effectively prevented from loosening.
  • a housing may be hollowed on the underside of the recess of the first end portion, this housing receiving the head of the connecting screw or a part of this screw head, in the loosened position of the screw.
  • the rod of the connecting screw may have towards its end at least one diametrical bore adapted to receive, in the loosened position of the screw, a securing pin of the screw with the corresponding end portion.
  • the nut which cooperates with the connecting screw, it is advantageously mounted interchangeably in a corresponding recess of the other end portion, the holding in position of the nut being preferably provided by a pin.
  • the removability of the nut allows its replacement in case of damage, the corresponding end portion remaining in place at the end of the corner frame.
  • the figure 1 represents, partially, two consecutive mast elements, superimposed, which belong to the vertical mast of a tower crane.
  • Each mast element 1 has a horizontal section of square shape, and it comprises four corner members 2 (only one being here visible), arranged vertically in the use position and connected in pairs, on the four lateral faces of the frame.
  • mast element 1 by a triangulation composed of horizontal crosspieces 3 and oblique bars 4, also referred to as "diagonals".
  • Each member 2 is in the form of a tubular profile of substantially square horizontal section, the orientation of which is similar to that of the square section of the mast member 1 to which it belongs.
  • a removable assembly device which provides the "end-to-end” connection between the corresponding corner members 2 of these mast elements 1.
  • the device of FIG. removable assembly represented as a whole on the figure 1 , comprises a first end piece or half-splice 5 placed at the top of each corner frame 2 of the lower mast member 1, and a second end piece or half-splice 6, complementary to the first, placed at the base of the corresponding corner frame 2 of the upper mast element 1.
  • This dismountable assembly device also comprises a single connecting screw 7 and a nut 8.
  • the first half-splice 5 clearly visible on the figures 2 and 3 , has a horizontal section of generally square shape and, in particular, its lower portion 9 has a reduced square section which is engaged and fixed, by welding, in the upper end of the corner frame 2 of the mast member 1 lower.
  • the upper part of the first half-splice 5 has, along the vertical axis 10 of this half-splice 5, a conical female bearing surface 11.
  • the first half-splice 5 has a large recess 12, which opens out on two adjacent lateral faces 13 of this half-splice 5.
  • a cylindrical housing 14 is hollow, along the axis 10, on the lower face of the recess 12 in the lower part 9 of the half-splice 5.
  • the second half-splice 6, shown alone (in the inverted position) on the figure 4 has a horizontal section of generally square shape and, in particular, its upper portion 17 has a reduced square section which is engaged and fixed, by welding, in the lower end of the corner frame 2 of the mast member 1 superior, as is also shown by the figure 1 .
  • the lower part of the second half-splice 6 has, along the vertical axis 18 of this half-splice 6, a conical male bearing surface 19, complementary to the conical female bearing surface 11 of the first half-splice 5.
  • the second half-splice 6 has a recess 20, which opens out on a lateral face 21 of this half-splice 6.
  • a bore 22, centered on the axis 18 of the half-splice 6, passes through the recess 20 and opens at the lower end of this half-splice 6, in other words at the tip of the conical surface 19.
  • the connecting screw 7 has a cylindrical head 23, and a rod 24 with an external thread.
  • the screw head 23 has several diametrical holes 25, as shown in particular in FIG. figure 6 .
  • This screw head 23 is also provided with an operating portion 26, for example with a recessed conformation of square section.
  • Another diametrical bore 27 is formed at the end of the rod 24 of the screw 7.
  • This screw 7 is introduced laterally into the recess 12 of the first half-splice 5, so as to be positioned along the vertical axis 10 of this half-splice 5, the head 23 of the screw 7 is located at the bottom and its rod 24 being directed upwards.
  • the nut 8 whose internal thread is complementary to the external thread of the rod 24 of the screw 7, is introduced into the recess 20 of the second half-splice 6.
  • This nut 8, interchangeable, is held in position on the half-splice 6 by means of a pin 28, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the screw 7 is then tightened, using a suitable key 29 such as a ratchet inserted laterally into the recess 12 of the first half-splice 5, so that the rod 24 of this screw 7 is screwed into the nut 8 secured to the second half-splice 6.
  • a suitable key 29 such as a ratchet inserted laterally into the recess 12 of the first half-splice 5, so that the rod 24 of this screw 7 is screwed into the nut 8 secured to the second half-splice 6.
  • the screw 7 is immobilized in rotation, thus prevented from loosening, by the introduction of a pin 30 in one of the diametrical holes 25 of the head 23.
  • the pin 30 is engaged through the lateral opening 16 of the first half-splice 5, and this peg 30 is itself immobilized in translation by a pin 31 (see FIG. figure 6 ).
  • the screw 7 is loosened after removal of the pin 31 and the pin 30, which allows the lifting of the angle member 2 of the upper mast member 1, so the separation of the two half-splices 5 and 6.
  • the screw 7 In the loose position, as shown in figure 5 , the screw 7 remains housed in the recess 12 of the first half-splice 5. More particularly, the operating portion 26 of the screw head 23 takes place in the housing 14 cut on the underside of the recess 12. A pin 32 introduced into the bore 27 located at the end of the rod 24 of the screw 7 ensures in this position a fastening of the screw 7 with the half-splice 5.
