DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 12, a full-unit lifting method for a quayside container crane specifically includes following steps.

[0047] 1. Calculating an overall center of gravity (COG) of the quayside container crane: calculating a COG of each assembly of the quayside container crane full-unit according to a design drawing of the quayside container crane full-unit, by which an origin is defined as an intersection of a left-right symmetry central plane of the quayside container crane full-unit, an upper plane of a rail and a longitudinal central plane of a waterside rail, a direction of a front boom is defined an x-axis positive direction, summarizing the COG of the assemblies of the quayside container crane full-unit into a COG table, and obtaining the overall COG G (x, y, z) of the quayside container crane full-unit by summing values of the COG of the assemblies of the quayside container crane full-unit in the COG table.

[0048] 2. Estimating a lifting height and a floating amplitude required by a hook of a floating crane according to a water level differential at a dock and a height of the quayside container crane full-unit, by which the floating crane is selected and detailed parameters thereof are obtained according to basic lifting conditions of the floating crane, and an outline diagram of the floating crane is drawn; known parameters include the water level differential at the dock h.sub.1, the overall COG position of the quayside container crane full-unit G (x, y, z), position coordinates of four lifting lugs on the quayside container crane D1 (x.sub.1, y.sub.1, z.sub.2), D2 (x.sub.2, y.sub.2, z.sub.2), D3 (x.sub.3, y.sub.3, z.sub.3), D4 (x.sub.4, y.sub.4, z.sub.4), a height of the quayside container crane full-unit H, a height from the front boom to the plane of the rail h.sub.6, a distance from the waterside rail to the apron B.sub.3, a width of the front boom B.sub.4; relevant parameters of the floating crane include a height from a deck surface of the floating crane to a water surface h.sub.2, a height from the deck surface of the floating crane to a lower hinge joint of a boom of the floating crane h.sub.3, a length of the boom of the floating crane L.sub.1, an angle between the boom of the floating crane and a horizontal plane , a lifting height of the hook of the floating crane h.sub.4, a height from the hook of the floating crane to an upper pulley at the boom of the floating crane h.sub.5, a radius of the boom of the floating crane R, a width of the floating crane B, a length of the floating crane L, and a distance from the lower hinge joint of the boom of the floating crane to a front end of the floating crane L.sub.3, where R=L.sub.1cos , generally is 65; h.sub.1+h.sub.4+h.sub.5=h.sub.2+h.sub.3+L.sub.1sin , h.sub.4+h.sub.5 is a constant. However, since the hook may move up and down through a lifting mechanism, h.sub.4 and h.sub.5 are not constant values, h.sub.5 has a minimum value h.sub.5min which is generally set to 5 m due to a minimum safe distance between the hook and the upper pulley of the boom; when h.sub.5=h.sub.5min, h.sub.4 reaches its maximum value h.sub.4max, which is a basic condition for determining whether the floating crane may perform the lifting, namely a maximum lifting height of the hook of the floating crane h.sub.4max>the height of the quayside container crane full-unit H+a length of the lifting wire rope Csin , where C is the length of the lifting wire rope and is an angle between the lifting wire rope and the horizontal plane, generally, the length of the lifting wire rope C is taken as 24 m, and the angle between the lifting wire rope and the horizontal plane is 60 at minimum.

[0049] 3. Checking interference between the boom of the floating crane and the front boom, and determining an inclination angle of the floating crane during lifting. Since a weight of the quayside container crane full-unit typically exceeds 700 tons, the floating crane with two main hooks is required. The relevant parameters of the floating crane include the length of the boom of the floating crane L.sub.1, a distance between two lower hinge joints of the floating crane B.sub.1, a distance between two main hooks at an uppermost end of the floating crane B.sub.2, a length of a straight edge of the boom of the floating crane L.sub.2, and an angle between an inclined edge and the straight edge of the boom of the floating crane with

[00014] - arctan B 1 - B 2 2 ( L 1 - L 3 ) ;

as the two main hooks of the floating crane are adopted for lifting, the angle between the boom of the floating crane and the dock shoreline is , a center of a connecting line between the two hooks of the floating crane must coincide with the overall COG position of the quayside container crane full-unit in the top view. The lifting heights of the two hooks may be different (with a height difference not too large). It is assumed that a height from a first hook of the floating crane to the dock surface is h.sub.4, and a height from a second hook of the floating crane to the dock surface is h.sub.4, h.sub.4=h.sub.2+h.sub.3+L.sub.1sin h.sub.1h.sub.5; h.sub.4=h.sub.2+h.sub.3+L.sub.1sin h.sub.1h.sub.5. If a position of the first hook of the floating crane is set as DG.sub.1 (x.sub.5, y.sub.5, z.sub.5),

[00015] x 5 = x - B 2 2 sin , y 5 = y + B 2 2 cos , z 5 = h 4 ;

if a position of the second hook of the floating crane is set as DG.sub.2 (x.sub.6, y.sub.6, z.sub.6),

[00016] x 6 = x + B 2 2 sin , y 6 = y - B 2 2 cos , z 6 = h 4 ,

assuming that in the top view, an intersection between the front boom and the boom of the floating crane is t(x.sub.t, y.sub.t, z.sub.t), the following may be obtained as:

[00017] y 6 - y t = B 4 2 , y t = y 6 - B 4 2 , y 6 - y t x t - x 6 = tan ( 2 - - ) , x t = x 6 + B 4 2 tan ( 2 - - ) , R = y 6 - y t sin ( 2 - - ) cos = B 4 2 sin ( 2 - - ) cos , z t = z 6 + h 5 - R cot ,

and the basic condition for determining the interference between the boom of the floating crane and the front boom includes: z.sub.t>the height of the front boom of the quayside container crane h.sub.6; if interference occurs, re-check is performed by adjusting the angle between boom of the floating crane and the dock, where cannot be adjusted arbitrarily; is ensured not too small to avoid collision between a floating crane vessel and the dock, and thus it is also necessary to check a distance D between the floating crane and the apron; it is assumed that a corner point of the floating crane closest to the apron is n (x.sub.n, y.sub.n, z.sub.n), and D can be obtained by calculating x.sub.n;

[00018] x n = x + ( R - L 3 ) cos ( 2 - - ) - B 2 cos , D = x n - B 3 = x + ( R - L 3 ) cos ( 2 - - ) - B 2 cos - B 3 ,

in order to prevent the floating crane from colliding due to the fact that the floating crane is too close to the apron during lifting, D possesses the minimum safety distance, and the basic condition for determining whether a safe distance between the floating crane and the apron is enough is D>2 m.

[0050] 4. Calculating a load on the wire rope and selecting the wire rope and shackles; the position of the first hook of the floating crane is DG.sub.1 (x.sub.5, y.sub.5, z.sub.5) and

[00019] x 5 = x - B 2 2 sin , y 5 = y + B 2 2 cos , z 5 = h 4 ,

the position of the second hook of the floating crane is DG.sub.2 (x.sub.6, y.sub.6, z.sub.6), and

[00020] x 6 = x + B 2 2 sin , y 6 = y - B 2 2 cos , z 6 = h 4 ,

the positions of four lifting lugs at the quayside container crane are obtained by measuring dimensions on the drawings as: D.sub.1 (x.sub.1, y.sub.1, z.sub.2), D.sub.2 (x.sub.2, y.sub.2, z.sub.2), D.sub.3 (x.sub.3, y.sub.3, z.sub.3), D.sub.4 (x.sub.4, y.sub.4, z.sub.4); then lengths of the four lifting wire ropes are as follows: [0051] the length of a first lifting wire rope is C.sub.1={square root over ((x.sub.5x.sub.1).sup.2+(y.sub.5y.sub.1).sup.2+(z.sub.5z.sub.1).sup.2)}, the length of a second lifting wire rope is C.sub.2={square root over ((x.sub.6x.sub.2).sup.2+(y.sub.6y.sub.2).sup.2+(z.sub.6z.sub.2).sup.2)}, the length of a third lifting wire rope is C.sub.3={square root over ((x.sub.5x.sub.3).sup.2+(y.sub.5y.sub.3).sup.2+(z.sub.5z.sub.3).sup.2)}, the length of a fourth lifting wire rope is C.sub.4={square root over ((x.sub.6x.sub.4).sup.2+(y.sub.6y.sub.4).sup.2+(z.sub.5z.sub.1).sup.2)}, The heights h.sub.4 and h.sub.4 of the two hooks of the floating crane can be calculated by setting the length C.sub.2 of the second lifting wire rope and the length C.sub.3 of the third lifting wire rope, and the length C.sub.1 of the first lifting wire rope and the length C.sub.4 of the fourth lifting wire rope can be obtained; checking that the angle between each of the lifting wire ropes and the horizontal plane exceeds 60. The angle between each of the lifting wire ropes and the horizontal plane is as follows:

[00021] 1 = arcsin ( z 5 - z 1 C 1 ) , 2 = arc sin ( z 6 - z 2 C 2 ) , 3 = arcsin ( z 5 - z 3 C 3 ) , 4 = arcsin ( z b - z 4 C 4 ) ;

The load on the lifting wire rope is calculated as follows: since the gravity is vertically downward, and since the center of the two hooks of the floating crane corresponds to the overall COG position of the quayside container crane full-unit, it can be considered that the loads on the two hooks of the floating crane is substantially balanced. A total weight Q of the quayside container crane may be known according to the design drawing, and it may be obtained that a vertical downward load on each of the hooks of the floating crane may be

[00022] Q 2 ,

so that the load on each of the lifting wire ropes may be calculated as follows. The first lifting wire rope C.sub.1 and the third lifting wire rope C.sub.3 share one hook of the floating crane, and the second lifting wire rope C.sub.2 and the fourth lifting wire rope C.sub.4 share the other hook of the floating crane. According to that a resultant force in the vertical direction of the two lifting wire ropes of the same hook of the floating crane is a lifting weight

[00023] Q 2 ,

and a resultant force in the horizontal direction should be 0, it may be obtained that

[00024] F 1 sin 1 + F 3 sin 3 = Q 2 ,

F.sub.1cos .sub.1=F.sub.3cos .sub.3;

[00025] F 2 sin 2 + F 4 sin 4 = Q 2 ,

F.sub.2cos .sub.2=F.sub.4cos .sub.4. The loads on the four wire ropes may be obtained by solving equations respectively

[00026] F 1 Q 2 ( sin 1 + cos 1 tan 3 ) , F 3 Q 2 ( sin 3 + cos 3 tan 1 ) , F 2 Q 2 ( sin 2 + cos 2 tan 4 ) , F 4 Q 2 ( sin 4 + cos 4 tan 2 )

[0052] According to the loads on the wire ropes, a wire rope having a diameter with a safety factor above 4 and a shackle with a safety coefficient above 1 are selected by referencing a wire rope breaking force table.

[0053] Specifications and lengths of the wire rope and types of the shackle and the like are compiled into a table and are in one-to-one correspondence with the lifting lugs.

[0054] Example: length parameters of the wire rope are shown in the following table:

Making preparations before lifting: before the lifting, travelling a trolley to a maximum rear extension position of the rear boom (adjustable based on the specific COG position); retracting an upper frame of a container hanger to its highest position, parking an elevator at a first floor, locking brakes of respective mechanisms, plugging the trolley and trailer trolley wheels by wedge blocks, and keeping the front boom horizontal; for a travelling mechanism, inserting wooden blocks at rotatable positions of the eight-wheel equalizer beams and driving and driven bogies before the lifting, so as to prevent rotation; checking the securing and fastening of all components of the quayside container crane to ensure all movable components are fastened firmly; disassembling all anchorages between the quayside container crane and the transport vessel; using two winches on the floating crane vessel to secure two portal legs obliquely opposite the quayside container crane before lifting (through the pre-adjusted lengths of the wire ropes, rotation due to insufficient horizontal stability after the quayside container crane may be prevented after the quayside container crane is hoisted, and the diagonal legs are pulled by the winches for protection), the diagonal portal legs of the quayside container crane must be pulled by the two winches on the floating crane vessel continuously after lifting, to maintain a constant inclination angle between the floating crane and the quayside container crane.

[0056] 6. Performing lifting operation at the user dock including following steps.

[0057] 1) After the floating crane arrives at a construction site, the floating crane is positioned within about 200 m offshore from the quay front line, the floating crane inclines at a certain angle (generally, an angle between an extension direction of the boom of the floating crane and the dock is) 50, a length of an anchor cable is adjusted with reference to barge parameters and the water conditions of the dock, to ensure that operational processes of lifting, shifting, parking and the like may be achieved.

[0058] 2) After the floating crane vessel is positioned, all tools and equipment used during lifting are comprehensively checked, the floating crane vessel may be put into use after it is confirmed that no abnormal condition exists, and whether a lifting point of the equipment is consistent with a diameter of a shackle pin or not is checked. After all of the checks are performed, the angle of the boom is adjusted to a required angle. All mechanical parts of the floating crane are rechecked, and the floating crane may be used after being confirmed to be intact.

[0059] 3) The floating crane vessel are lifted by two main hooks, the hooks are loosened above equipment to be hoisted, rigging suspended on the hooks in advance is attached to lifting lugs of the equipment in sequence, and the reliability of each connection point is rechecked.

[0060] 4) After it is confirmed that the preparation work is completed, the lifting operation is performed. When the lifting is 200 mm away, all starting equipment brakes, a component is suspended on the main hooks for secondary braking, and a static state is maintained. When there is no abnormal condition, the crane is started to hoist the component to a preset height and is suspended in the static state. The object is kept horizontally hoisted and slowly lifted in the lifting process, avoiding uneven height discrepancies between the two hooks.

[0061] 5) After the component is stably hoisted, a towing belt of a tugboat is used to assist in slow shifting to the installation berth, and the component is anchored and positioned on the installation site. The floating crane vessel is repositioned after arriving at the installation site by adjusting the length and the orientation of the anchor cable. The crane is positioned above the rail of the installation dock, and kept descending horizontally and slowly, so that the equipment in the suspended state is aligned to the position right above the placing point by 10 cm.

[0062] 6) the placing position of the equipment is approved, the floating crane is commanded to slowly loosen the hooks, and the equipment is stably placed at the placing point.

[0063] 7) According to the construction process, lifting construction is carried out until the lifting is finished, and all lifting tools are retracted and the floating crane vessel is withdrawn.
