Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the technical field of tower cranes, that is to say cranes with an arrow, generally horizontal, along which moves a carriage under which is suspended a load to lift or move. More particularly, this invention relates to the boom of such a crane and, more specifically, to an arrow consisting of two or more boom elements, with at least two successive boom elements interconnected by an axis joint. Horizon, which is associated with a motorized folding device by at least one jack, in particular a hydraulic cylinder.
  • a crane with a distributing tower is composed of two main parts, which are: on the one hand, a mast or vertical pylon, and on the other hand, placed at the top of the mast or pylon, an arrow generally horizontal along which moves an arrow cart, under which is suspended a load to lift or move. Beyond the top of the mast, the boom may be extended by a counterweight supporting a counterweight.
  • the mast or pylon of such cranes is generally composed of stacked mast elements. These cranes reach their desired working height position by adding additional mast elements, using a telescoping device.
  • the crane is disassembled first mast element per mast element, until the boom and counterflight are practically brought down to the ground level, to allow the disassembly of the arrow and the counterfleche. This therefore assumes that the boom can descend to the ground level, without encountering obstacles, as and when the mast elements are removed.
  • a special boom carriage has been used to dismantle one or more elements of the boom so as to reduce the length of the boom before lowering it to ground level.
  • Such a partial disassembly operation of the boom is long, complex and dangerous, because human intervention height is here necessary to remove one or more elements of the boom.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks, and it therefore aims to solve the problem of disassembly of tower cranes, more particularly in the aspect of folding or inversely the unfolding of the boom, by a simple solution, economic and without danger, and also without significant modification or heavy weighting of the initial structure of the boom, thus preserving the initial performance of the crane in terms of lifted loads.
  • the object of the invention is a tower crane boom with a folding device, the boom being composed of two or more boom elements, with at least two consecutive boom elements interconnected by a hinge around the boom. a horizontal axis, to which is associated a motorized folding device by at least one jack, in particular a hydraulic cylinder, this crane boom being essentially characterized by the fact that the folding device comprises, on a first boom element, the jack whose one end is permanently articulated on this boom element and, secured to a second boom element, a set of attachment points arranged on the same circle centered on the hinge axis linking the two elements considered, the other end of the jack being designed to be selectively and separable at one of the attachment points for controlling the folding or unfolding of the boom by a succession of rotations each corresponding to the angular interval between two consecutive attachment points, means being provided for the immobilization temporary movement of one boom element relative to the other in one or more intermediate positions of folding, in particular when said other end of the cylinder is separated from a point of
  • the set of attachment points is constituted by a series of holes formed, at regular angular intervals, at the periphery of a disk or a plate secured to said second element of arrow and centered on the hinge axis linking the two boom elements, while said other end of the cylinder is provided to be separably bonded to one of the above-mentioned holes by a withdrawable pin.
  • the folding of the boom is achieved by actuating the cylinder whose end is initially stitched in a hole of the disc and then by connecting the end of the jack in the next hole and performing a new operation of the cylinder, and so on until a total rotation of about 180 ° of the displaced boom element is achieved, which corresponds to the complete folding of this boom element.
  • the holes of the disk are separated from one another by angular intervals of 60 °, three identical maneuvers should be made to achieve a total rotation of 180 °, folding the second boom element horizontally to above the first arrow element held fixed.
  • the temporary immobilization means are necessary to maintain in a partially folded position the boom member to move, while an operator separates the end of the cylinder from a hole of the disk to broach this end into the next hole.
  • said temporary immobilization means comprise at least one additional hole connected to the boom element carrying the jack, this hole being able to receive a removable link or immobilization axis that can also be engaged in one of the holes of the above set of holes, brought in correspondence with said additional hole.
  • the immobilization function is performed by taking advantage of one of the holes of the disc (not used at this time for the connection between the cylinder disk), while the additional hole can be formed in a tab or clevis of the element of boom carrying the cylinder, which is a simple solution, compact and economical.
  • the broaching and unplugging operations of the end of the jack, as well as the setting up and removal of the connecting or immobilizing pin, can be performed manually by an operator then posted in a nacelle of the boom carriage, so that the human intervention here necessary is safe.
  • the figure 1 represents, as a whole, a crane boom generally designated by the reference 1, the boom 1 being orientable about a vertical axis A at the top of a mast (here not shown).
  • the arrow 1 is composed of two arrow elements, which are a first arrow element 2 located closest to the axis A, and a second arrow element 3 which extends the first arrow element 2.
  • An arrow carriage 4 is movable along the arrow 1, more particularly along a raceway formed by the respective lower ribs 5 and 6 of the two arrow elements 2 and 3 (see also FIGS. Figures 4 to 6 ).
  • the arrow 1 is extended by a counter-flap 7, which supports a counterweight 8.
  • the second boom element 3 is foldable above the first boom element 2.
  • the second boom element 3 is hinged to the front of the first boom element 2 around a horizontal axis 9 located substantially at the respective upper chords 10 and 11 of the two boom elements 2 and 3, the axis of articulation 9 being oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the arrow 1.
  • a folding device designated as a whole by reference 12.
  • the folding device 12 comprises a disk 13, which is centered on the hinge axis 9 and secured to the second boom element 3.
  • the disk 13 is pierced at its periphery with a plurality of equidistant holes 14, for example four holes 14 separated from each other by angular intervals of 60 °, so that these holes 14 are present at least on a half-circumference of the disc 13.
  • the folding device 12 also comprises a hydraulic jack 15, arranged in a substantially vertical orientation, with a jack body 16 and a jack rod 17.
  • the jack body 16 is articulated permanently about a horizontal axis 18 at the front end of the first boom element 2, more particularly at the lower ribs 5 of this boom element 2.
  • the upper free end of the cylinder rod 17 is hinged around a horizontal axis 19, to the disc 13.
  • the hinge pin 19 of the cylinder rod 17 passes through one of the holes 14 of the disk 13, this pin 19 being withdrawable so that it can be introduced selectively into any of the holes 14 of the disk 13.
  • the unfolding device 12 comprises a tab or a clevis 20 carried by the front end of the first boom element 2, and directed towards the front.
  • the tab or clevis 20 is pierced with at least one hole capable of coming into correspondence with one or the other of the holes 14 of the disc 13.
  • a removable connecting pin 21 is provided to pass through the hole in the tab or clevis 20, and also a hole 14 of the disc 13 brought in correspondence.
  • the unfolding of the boom 1 is carried out in the following manner, starting from the horizontal unfolded position shown on the figures 1 and 4 :
  • the two arrow elements 2 and 3 are aligned, and the end of the cylinder rod 17 is connected by the axis 19 to the second hole 14 of the disk 13 (the holes 14 are counted clockwise). , with reference to the drawing). The cylinder rod 17 is then completely out.
  • the cylinder 15 is actuated in the direction of retraction of the cylinder rod 17 in the cylinder body 16, which causes a rotation of the disk 13 by an angle of 60 ° around the horizontal axis 9, in counter clockwise.
  • the rotation of the disk 13 is accompanied by a corresponding rotation of the second boom element 3, thus also a 60 ° rotation of this boom element 3 in the counter-clockwise direction, around the horizontal axis 9 (see FIG. arrow F on the figure 5 ).
  • the second boom element 3 thus reaches a partially folded position, raised 60 ° on the horizontal and directed forward, as shown by the figures 2 and 5 .
  • the second boom element 3 is immobilized by positioning the removable connecting pin 21 in the first hole 14 of the disc 13 and in the hole of the tab or clevis 20.
  • the cylinder rod 17 is separated from the disk 13, by withdrawing the pin 19 which is withdrawable, and after having released the rod 17 from the cylinder body 16, the end of this rod 17 is pinned to the hole 14 next disc 13, that is to say the third hole 14, putting in place the axis 19.
  • the cylinder 15 After removing the connecting pin 21, to release the disk 13 in rotation, the cylinder 15 is made to execute a new stroke by retracting its rod 17, causing a new rotation of 60 ° of the disk 13 and the second boom element 3, to bring this element into a folded position at 120 °, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the second boom member 3 is again immobilized in this position, by engagement of the connecting pin 21, and the end of the jack rod 17 is then stitched to the fourth hole 14 of the disc 3.
  • a third actuation of the jack 15 is finally performed, to control a last rotation of 60 ° disk 13 and the second boom element 3.
  • This second boom element 3 then described a total rotation of 180 °, so that it is folded horizontally above the first arrow element 2 (see figure 6 ).
  • the crane boom 1 is thus fully folded.
  • FIGS 7 and 8 illustrate a use of a tower crane provided with an arrow 1 as described above, the crane being here represented complete with its base frame 22 and mast 23 at the top of which is mounted the arrow 1.
  • the application considered is the construction of a cooling tower 24 of a thermal or nuclear power plant, the mast 23 of the crane taking place in the vertical axis of the cooling tower 24 under construction.
  • this tower 24 prevents the crane from being dismounted by a simple shortening of the mast 23 accompanied by a vertical descent of the boom 1.
