Description

  The present invention relates to a sliding pad fixing device for a boom front end of a telescopic boom which is mounted on a swingable upper swing body such as a wheel crane so as to be raised and lowered and has a sliding pad at the tip.

  An extendable boom (hereinafter simply referred to as a boom) mounted on a swinging upper part of a self-propelled crane such as a wheel crane is an outer boom and an inner boom that is telescopically inserted inside the outer boom. At least one set. There are various shapes in such a boom cross section, but the press bending boom that forms a box shape by pressing two long steel plates into a U shape and butting them up and down is the mainstream. . In order to improve the buckling load of the press-bending boom, it is preferable that the lower plate is formed in a substantially U shape in a large arc shape, typified by a semicircular cross-sectional shape. On the other hand, in order to increase the moment of inertia of the cross section, the upper plate is generally bent at a smaller radius than the lower plate and is formed in a generally U shape, with a curved surface at the corner. .

  In the box-type boom, booms having a small cross section are sequentially inserted into a boom having a large cross section so that they can be expanded and contracted. At the time of boom expansion / contraction, it is supported by a sliding pad provided in the gap between the outer boom and the inner boom, and can be expanded and contracted smoothly. The extendable pads are disposed at the upper and lower portions of the rear end outer side and the inner front end of each stage boom, respectively. The sliding pad attached to the outer rear end of the inner boom forms a sliding surface with the outer boom, while the sliding pad attached to the inner end of the outer boom forms a sliding surface with the inner boom.

  In the telescoping boom, the inserted inner boom does not completely come out of the outer boom when extended, but is used for a lifting operation with a partly overlapping margin at the rear end. In the overlap margin, the suspension load is transmitted by the sliding pad attached to the lower inner side at the front end of the outer boom and the sliding pad attached to the upper outer side at the rear end of the inner boom. On the other hand, the sliding pads attached to the upper corners of the outer boom or the inner surfaces of both sides and the sliding pads attached to the lower part outside the rear end of the inner boom received wind regardless of the transmission of the suspension load. Secondary implications such as the transmission of lateral loads in cases and the centering action during boom expansion and contraction are significant.

  When assembling the boom in the factory, the sliding pad attached to the inner corner or the side of the outer boom tip may be given a gap adjustment function for centering by adjusting the upper gap and the side gap. Many. That is, it is configured such that the gap can be adjusted in order to absorb the manufacturing error of each boom and position the inner boom core relative to the outer boom. Then, the outer surface of the sliding pad at the lower end of the outer boom tip is adjusted by inserting a shim having a thickness corresponding to the gap generated after the alignment positioning and is brought into close contact with the inner boom, thereby eliminating the gap in the initial state. In this way, deformation during suspension load is suppressed.

  The boom is deformed when it receives a suspension load. However, in order to suppress the deformation, it is effective to increase the section moment as much as possible to increase the section moment. Therefore, it is better to make the gap for inserting the sliding pad between the outer boom and the inner boom as small as possible. On the other hand, the sliding pad needs to be fixed to the boom so that it does not move along the boom axis due to the frictional force with the boom when the boom is extended and contracted.

  The prior art relating to such sliding pad fixing will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a side view showing a telescopic boom support structure according to Prior Art 1. FIG.

  First, regarding the front end pad of the outer boom that requires adjustment of the height of the sliding pad, as a conventional example of fixing the sliding pad to the boom, a conventional technique in which a region for fixing the sliding pad is provided on a part of the boom is provided. 1 (refer to Patent Document 1) and prior art 2 (refer to Patent Document 2) in which a stopper is provided and fixed on the inner surface of the outer boom have been proposed.

  However, in the prior art 1, a part in the boom axis direction must be freed as a fixed area of the sliding pad. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the boom axis direction is interposed between the lower pad and the upper pad. Offset L is generated, which is disadvantageous in strength. Further, according to the prior art 2, when the boom is assembled, the sliding pad at the rear end portion of the inner boom must be inserted while avoiding the stopper, for example, the pad at the rear end portion of the inner boom. It is necessary to take a large clearance on the inner surface of the outer boom and secure a clearance for avoiding the stopper in a normal state.

  On the other hand, the lower pad on the lower side of the boom can be solved by the prior art 3 (see Patent Document 3) in which a stopper is provided at a position avoiding the rear end pad, but the upper pad is the inner boom rear end pad and the outer boom front end pad. However, it is difficult to avoid and provide a stopper.
