Description

RISING TOWER CRANE IN ELEVATOR HOLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention; is about the innovative tower crane system that can be easily used in both large and small capacity constructions to lift, carry and place parts used in construction, which is placed in the elevator hole of the construction and has self rising properties.
PRIOR ART
Cranes used in construction are an indispensable part of the construction process. Their ergonomic designs, economy and functionality are of great importance for the user. Especially crane type used in construction are tower cranes. Today, while the use of tower cranes in large capacity construction sites has become a necessity, it is not preferred due to reasons such as not being economical to use in medium and small capacity constructions (min. 15 m.), installation, difficulty of use, and not being able to use without an operator.
The main problems of tower cranes in the known technic are:
• Tower components that form the body of the tower cranes and enable them to be raised are used. These tower components are called mast. The rising principle of tower cranes is that: as much as the working height, replacing the lower part with the mast element and reaching the desired working height. Therefore, the mast requirement is quite high. This requirement is reflected to the contractor as both time and financial loss, in logistics, assembly and assembly processes.
• With the increase in the number of masts, the number of critical connection parts also increases. Checking these parts after each assembly and disassembly of the tower crane is mandatory in terms of occupational safety and this creates a waste of time. In known techniques, bolted connections are generally preferred. According to the technique, connections are made with 8-16 pins every 3 meters on average. The increase in the number of critical connection parts also causes possible accidents.
• In the tower cranes of the known technique, the concrete pouring method (anchorage) is applied to the ground to balance the bending moment or approximately 100 tons of concrete blocks are placed on a chassis system. Especially in construction sites with a large surface area and uneven ground, the preparation, assembly and disassembly of the tower crane ground becomes very difficult.
• In free-running tower cranes, very serious precautions are taken during the ascent process. This process is completed within 1-2 days by an expert team using an elevating mechanism. This both creates a need for qualified personnel in the sector and creates a waste of time.
• Since tower cranes are controlled from above in conventional methods, a cabin and operator must be present in the tower section. Since it is very dangerous to work in tower cranes and it is difficult to obtain operating certificates, there are very few tower crane operators in our country and in the world. This creates sterility in the sector in terms of qualified personnel.
• Free working tower cranes are directly exposed to wind load as they operate in open area. Winds blowing at various frequencies and high speeds are the main cause of overturning of tower cranes and occupational accidents.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The tower crane system, which is the subject of the invention, is installed in the elevator hole during the construction phase. In this hole, it rises by itself from the ground floor to the last floor. Briefly, it does not require as many masts as standard tower cranes. In addition to these features, it can rotate at the desired angle on each floor surface, lift, carry and place the desired load from the construction site.
The most important features that distinguish the inventive system from conventional tower cranes are:
- The lower part of the crane consists of a single mast and the entire system can rise spontaneously in the elevator hole as the construction is done. Therefore, the inventive system does not need as many masts as the total number of floors like other tower cranes that can rise by itself as the floor is built.
- Fixing the mast to the elevator hole walls and supporting the entire crane system from there during rising and operation. Therefore, there is no need for base chassis and ground concrete weights when compared to other tower cranes. In addition, previous technic tower crane systems have to be supported from the ground and the outer walls of the construction during operation and rising. There is no such requirement for the tower crane which is the subject of the invention.
- The system subject to the invention is not exposed to wind loads since it is placed in the construction elevator hole. For this reason, the risk of overturning due to the wind is negligible compared to the tower cranes of the known technique.
- Since the system consists of a single main body and a mounted tower part, it has become possible to transport it with a single truck and exporting has become easier by eliminating the logistics cost. Thus, the necessity of transporting the masts required by the tower cranes of the known technique in the lifting process with at least 8 trucks in direct proportion to the height of the tower crane has been eliminated.
- Since there is no need for stabilizing concrete blocks during the set-up phase, the assembly is carried out very easily and quickly.
- During the rising operation, without the need of a separate machine or crane, it is possible for the crane to rise with a team of 2 people together.
- It can be used without the need for a standard tower crane operator.
As a result of the researches, a tower crane that is placed in the construction elevator hole, does not have a base chassis, does not need moment-balancing ground concrete weights, does not have an operator in the tower part of the crane, and has the ability to rise by itself without the need for additional masts as the number of floors rises is not found in the known technique. Our invention is technically and qualitatively different from the tower crane systems of the known technique with all these innovative features.

The fixing parts of the mast to the ground concrete (2) contain fixings studs (2.1), steel plate (2.2), fixing bolts (2.3), fixing pins (2.4) and fixing holes (2.5).
A steel plate (2.2) and fixing bolts (2.3) are placed on the four fixing studs (2.1) and it is placed on the ground using a mold before pouring the concrete. After this process, elevator floor concrete is poured on them. Then, the mast part (1) is placed using mobile crane in such a way that it coincides with these four studs (2.1). Eight fixing pins (2.4) are attached to the fixing holes (2.5) and fixing studs (2.1) of the mast (1). Thus, the single column mast (1) and the fixing studs (2.1) are combined and fixed to the elevator hole ground.
On the other hand roulette (4) consists of the roulette slot part (4.1) and the locking system (4.2). The roulette (4), which is the upper and movable part of the tower crane, is placed on the roulette slot part (4.1) and the mast (1) with eight fixing studs and bolt-nut connection.
Then, at least three elevator hole fixing systems of the mast (3) are placed from the upper part to the lowest part of the mast part (1). The lifting system (13) is used for the mast fixing system (3) located on the upper part of the mast part (1).
Each of the elevator hole fixing systems of the mast (3) consist of at least four male fixing apparatus for elevator hole concrete (3.1), at least four female fixing apparatus (3.2), fixing pins for the mast hole (3.3), at least four fixing hydraulic cylinders (3.4) and at least the mast support and rising wheels (3.5). In addition, hydraulic power unit of the fixing cylinders (10) are located on top of each elevator hole fixing systems of the mast (3)
Hydraulic power unit of the fixing cylinders (10); includes the control system and valves, supplies pressurized hydraulic oil to the fixing cylinders (3.4). The four fixing hydraulic cylinders (3.4) are operated and controlled independently of each other within each of the elevator hole fixing system of the mast (3).
Additionally, both hydraulic power unit of the rising cylinders (9) and hydraulic power unit of the fixing cylinders (10) are on the second (middle) elevator hole fixing system of the mast (3), but there are two separate controllers as the fixing system hydraulic controller (12.1) and the rising mechanism hydraulic controller (12.2). The reason for this is that both hydraulic cylinders of the rising mechanism (1.2) and fixing cylinders (3.4) are located on the second (middle) elevator hole fixing system of the mast (3).
The tower part (5) is connected to the main boom (6) from the front and to the tail balancing part (7) from the rear with the balancing arms (7.1). The carriage part (8) consisting of the rope system (8.1), the hook (8.2) and the crane control system (11) are placed on the main boom (6), respectively. Thus, the upper and movable part of the tower crane is formed. Finally, balancing concrete blocks (7.2) are placed on the tail balancing part (7). Mobile cranes are used in all these operations again. Thus, the set-up process of the inventive system has been carried out, and it can be used freely (without the need to rise) at a maximum height of 10 meters with only the ground connection.
In addition, four male fixing apparatus (3.1) of each elevator hole fixing system of the mast (3) are placed inside the U-shaped carcass of each floor by using molds before the elevator hole concrete is poured. Then the elevator hole concrete is poured and these male fixing apparatus (3.1) remain in the U-shaped elevator hole concrete. Thus, one of the necessary conditions is provided for the crane to be fixed and balanced as the floor rises.
The lift system for the mast fixing system (13) is used to lift the lower, middle and upper elevator hole fixing system of the mast (3) to the desired position. Then, these three mast fixing systems (3) are aligned respectively (for example: first, second and third floors) with the male fixing apparatus embedded in the elevator hole concrete of each floor. The fixing cylinders (3.4) are actuated using the fixing system hydraulic controller (12.1) and the four female fixing apparatus (3.2) in each of the mast fixing systems (3) move forward and are positioned in such a way that they are intertwined with the male fixing apparatus (3.1) and tightened with pins. Then, the fixing pins for the mast hole (3.3) are passed through the mast holes (1.5) to fix the mast fixing systems (3) on the mast (1).
The self-rising working scenario of the system that is the subject of the invention is as follows: This process begins when an additional floor is to be built in the building after a maximum of 10 meters. Because the crane can only work with the ground connection at maximum height of 10 meters. There are at least two hydraulic cylinders of the rising mechanism (1.2) that provide simultaneous movement on the mast part (1). The lower part of these cylinders is connected to the cylinder support part of the rising mechanism (1.3), and the upper part is connected to the piston rod climbing system of the rising mechanism (1.4). The lower carrier jaw for the climbing tabs (1.3.1) and the upper carrier jaw for the climbing tabs (1.4.1), which are located in cylinder support part of the rising mechanism (1.3) and the piston rod climbing system of the rising mechanism (1.4), are attached to climbing tabs of the rising mechanism (1.1) on the mast (1).
The climbing tabs of the rising mechanism (1.1) have consecutive rectangular slots evenly spaced. The climbing tabs of the rising mechanism (1.1) are a part of the mast part (1) and are placed in sequential order at equal distances in order to obtain the desired rising stroke in the crane. The tips of the lower carrier jaw for the climbing tabs (1.3.1) and the upper carrier jaw for the climbing tabs (1.4.1) are designed to be inserted into climbing tabs of the rising mechanism (1.1). On the other hand, the cylinder support part of the rising mechanism (1.3) is positioned with the support part
(1.3.2) to the middle elevator hole fixing system (3) on the mast. The crane rising scenario starts from the middle fixing system (3) on the mast part (1). Because the rising process is realized from hydraulic cylinders of the rising mechanism (1.2) on the middle elevator hole fixing system (3). At first, the mast part (1) must be disconnected from the ground for rising of the crane. For this purpose, firstly the fixing pins (2.4) are removed from the fixing studs (2.1), thereby the base of the mast part (1) becomes free. On the other hand, the fixing pins (3.3) are pulled which is connecting the lower and upper elevator hole fixing systems (3) with the mast part (1). However, the mast elevator hole fixing systems (3) on the first and third floors are connected with the female fixing apparatus (3.2) and the male fixing apparatus (3.1) still in the concrete. In other words, the crane system is connected to the elevator hole concrete with all the fixing systems (3) during the rising operations.
However, the mast part (1) is in contact with the mast support and rising wheels (3.5) on the lower and upper fixing systems (3). On the other hand, the mast part (1) is in contact with the fixing system (3) in the middle, both with the fixing pins (3.3) and also with the mast supporting and rising wheels (3.5). That is, fixing pins for the mast hole (3.3) which connect the middle of the fixing system (3) with the mast part (1), have not been pulled. The purpose of that is the mast part (1) slide up over the all fixing systems (3) via the mast supporting and rising wheels (3.5) on all fixing systems (3) during rising.
In addition, even though the fixing pins for the mast hole (3.3) connecting the bottom and the top fixing systems (3) with the mast (1), are pulled during the rising operations, the bending moment of the crane during the rise is minimized thanks to the contact of the mast supporting and rising wheels (3.5). Briefly, during the rising, the mast part (1) is connected to the middle fixing system (3) and it is only in contact with the other fixing systems with the supporting and rising wheels (3.5).
Hydraulic cylinders of the rising mechanism (1.2) are actuated simultaneously at the same velocity and pressure using the rising mechanism hydraulic controller
(12.2). The lower slide mechanism (1.3.4) and the upper slide mechanism (1.4.3), located in the cylinder support part of the rising mechanism (1.3) and piston rod climbing system of the rising mechanism (1.4), have appropriate structure to slide over the rising slide (1.6) of the mast part (1). According to these slide mechanisms, when the cylinders move upwards, the piston rod and upper carrier jaw (1.4.1) connected to the upper slide mechanism (1.4.3) ensure both the advancement of the piston rods on the mast part (1) and the upward rise of the mast part (1).
At the moment of rising operation, the lower part of the cylinder is balanced on the middle fixing system (3) with the support part (1.3.2). In addition, in each climbing tabs progression, the lower carrier jaws (1.3.1) get into the climbing tabs (1.1) via the lower torsion spring (1.3.5), and supply the mast part (1) from the lower part of the cylinders. Therewithal, as the mast part (1) rises, the lower carrier jaws (1.3.1) can come out of the climbing tabs (1.1) using the lower torsion spring (1.3.5). In short, at the moment of rising, cylinder support part of the rising mechanism (1.3) provides both the upward movement of the mast part (1) and supports the mast part (1) when the lower carrier jaws (1.3.1) are in the climbing tabs (1.1). A similar scenario ensures that the piston rod climbing system (1.4) enters into the climbing tabs (1.1) and pushes the mast part (1) upwards in each piston rod upward stroke. Lower torsion springs (1.3.5) and upper torsion springs (1.4.4) provide lower carrier jaws (1.3.1) and upper carrier jaws (1.4.1) enter into the climbing tabs (1.1) and, they provide the rebound of the jaws due to the change of position as the mast part (1) rises.
In this way, the rising process is easily done according to the desired crane rising distance. In addition, the cylinder piston rods can be pulled down over the climbing tabs (1.1) and can get into the desired tabs with the upper jaws (1.4.1) and upper torsion springs (1.4.4). Thus, it is possible to raise the crane how many meters it is desired to be raised by the up and down movement of the piston rods on the mast climbing tabs (1.1). The retraction of the rising cylinders (1.2) is realized that the upper carrier jaws (1.4.1) located at the end of the piston rod, coming out of the climbing tabs (1.1) and entering a lower tab. In this process, leaving the tab and entering a lower tab again of the upper jaw is provided by the reaction force of the upper torsion spring (1.4.4) on it. While this process is taking place, the mast part (1) is supported by the lower carrier jaw (1.3.1) located in the cylinder support system (1.3) within the climbing tabs (1.1). The rising cylinders (1.2) can also overcome the load of the mast part that comes on them by pressing the support part (1.3.2) on the fixing system (3). After this process, the crane is raised to a higher working distance before the building’s floor is used in the construction of that floor. In other words, since the first rising process starts after a maximum of 10 meters, the crane rises above the next floor distance. Thus, the base of the mast part (1) is also separated from the elevator ground floor and rises one floor. On the other hand, the fixing pins (3.3) which connect the lower and upper of the elevator hole fixing systems (3.3) with the mast part (1), are reinserted.
Thus, the tower crane system is ready to assist the workers in constructing an additional floor by lifting, carrying and placing the desired load at the construction site. These processes are repeated in the same order of operations as floors are built in construction, and the innovative tower crane system can rise from the building elevator hole to the top of the building with its self-rising system. Our invention, which differs from the tower cranes of the known technique with all these features, is a new tower crane that allows installation / use in the most difficult terrains / conditions without the need for practical, safe, expertise, complex equipment and extra labor.
