Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of tower cranes, usable in particular on construction sites. More particularly, it relates to a tower crane boom which is made of two or more articulated linkage elements, and which comprises a folding-unfolding mechanism, by means of which the boom is made collapsible for transport, and deployable for its use.
  • the second element in the retracted position of the jack, the second element is folded over the first element, considered as a fixed element, which corresponds to a folded transport position.
  • the second element By actuating the cylinder in the direction of the output of its rod, the second element pivots to be brought into the extension of the first element, which corresponds to an extended working position.
  • arrows composed of at least two elements respectively designated as "foot of arrow” and “arrowhead", these cranes being equipped with two tie rods which are respectively a short tie intended to support the foot of arrow, and a tie of greater length intended to support the point of arrow.
  • tie rods which are respectively a short tie intended to support the foot of arrow, and a tie of greater length intended to support the point of arrow.
  • More recent folding boom crane designs include the use of hydraulic cylinders to control the folding and unfolding of the boom.
  • a particular solution consists in interposing a triangular intermediate short arrow element between the jib foot and the jib, the jack controlling the pivoting of the intermediate jib element relative to the jib foot, and a mechanism articulated then simultaneously imposing the pivoting of the arrowhead relative to the intermediate boom element.
  • this solution remains heavy and it has a large number of mechanical parts; in particular, it requires splints on the lower chords of the different boom elements, chords which usually constitute the runway of the boom carriage.
  • the present invention provides solutions to these problems, and its purpose is therefore to provide a folding and unfolding device specially adapted to a collapsible tower crane boom, this device being designed not to be stressed when the boom is deployed to horizontally, and also to ensure the continuity of the tread of the carriage in the aligned working position of the arrow.
  • the object of the invention is a collapsible boom of a tower crane, with folding-unfolding mechanism, the boom being equipped with two tie-rods and consisting of at least two boom members with respective upper and lower chords, the boom elements being hinged together at their upper chords, while the lower chords constitute the rolling path of a carriage movable along the boom in the aligned working position, the folding-unfolding mechanism being composed thereof -Even a cylinder, a lever with three points of articulation and a connecting rod, the lever having a first point of articulation located on a first element of arrow, the cylinder connecting this first element of arrow to a second pivot point of the lever, and the connecting rod connecting the third point of articulation of the lever to the other arrow element, so that this other arrow element is p ivotable between a working position aligned with the first boom member and a transport position folded over the first boom member, the foldable tower crane boom being essentially characterized by the fact that in the folding mechanism
  • the axis carried by the end of the cylinder is first supported at the highest point of the lever light, then, as the arrow tip pivots and rises, the thrust is exerted on a longitudinal side of the light, to a "vertical" position of the arrowhead, that is to say a position in which the center of gravity of the arrowhead is aligned vertically with the aforementioned axis.
  • the force in the cylinder is zero and said axis tends to descend into the light, under the effect of gravity.
  • this downward movement is prevented by the presence of a mechanical stop provided on the first boom member, at the lower ribs substantially below the second pivot point of the lever, the abutment cooperating with the end considered cylinder.
  • the traction phase during which the weight of the arrowhead becomes the driving element, the axis located at the end of the cylinder then bearing on the other longitudinal side of the light.

  • the dart 14 is itself foldable against the second boom member 13, the boom 10 thus folding "snail”.
  • the three elements 12, 13 and 14 of the arrow 10 are aligned substantially horizontally.
  • the arrow 10 is supported by means of two tie rods 20 and 21 which belong to the retaining device 16, the first tie 20 supporting the jib foot 12 while the second tie rod 21 supports the second jib element 13 extended by the jib 14.
  • the respective lower chords 22 and 23 of the jib foot 12 and the jib member 13 (as well as the lower chords of the jib 14) form a raceway for the carriage 11.
  • the folding-unfolding mechanism 24 consists of a hydraulic cylinder 25, a lever 26 with three pivot points and a connecting rod 27, which take place in the space requirement of the boom. 10.
  • the jack 25 has a jack body 28, one end of which is hinged about a horizontal axis 29, on the jib foot 12.
  • the central axis of the jack 25 extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the jib 12
  • the rod 30 of the ram 25 is directed forwards, the anterior end of the rod 30 carrying a cylinder head 31 which is articulated (in a manner specified below) to the lever 26.
  • the lever 26, located in a vertical plane, has three hinge points 32, 33 and 34, arranged in a triangle. By its first point of articulation 32, the lever 26 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis on the front end of the jib 12, substantially at the upper chord 18 of the jib 12.
