Abstract

A wheeled crane and self-demounting and self-mounting methods for supporting legs thereof is disclosed. The wheeled crane includes a vehicle frame and auxiliary supports, and the auxiliary supports can enable the vehicle frame to keep balance. Since the wheeled crane has auxiliary supports, when the supporting legs are demounted or mounted, the auxiliary supports function as supporting legs, so that the supporting legs can be mounted and demounted by the operation part of the wheeled crane with no need of using an auxiliary crane, and thus the self-mounting and self-demounting of the supporting legs of the wheeled crane are realized.

Claims (17)

1. A self-mounting method for supporting legs of a wheeled crane, comprising the following steps:

employing auxiliary supports to enable a vehicle frame of the wheeled crane to keep balance; and

employing an operation part of the wheeled crane to lift the supporting leg, and mounting the supporting leg on the vehicle frame;

wherein the employing the auxiliary supports to enable the vehicle frame of the wheeled crane to keep balance comprises one of the following manners:

singly employing the auxiliary supports to enable the vehicle frame to keep balance;

employing the auxiliary supports and non-demounted supporting legs on the wheeled crane to enable the vehicle frame to keep balance together; and

the auxiliary supports are the non-demounted supporting legs on the wheeled crane, and changing the positions and/or angles of the supporting legs relative to the vehicle frame to enable the vehicle frame to keep balance,

wherein after the employing the operation part of the wheeled crane to lift the to-be-mounted supporting leg, and mounting the supporting leg on the vehicle frame, the method further comprises:

detecting whether the wheeled crane with the mounted supporting leg can keep balance, and if the wheeled crane with the mounted supporting leg cannot keep balance, at least employing one of the following manners to enable the vehicle frame to keep balance: adjusting the positions and/or states of the auxiliary supports, or adjusting the positions and/or angles of the supporting legs connected with the vehicle frame; and

rotating the operation part of the wheeled crane for a certain angle, and mounting the next supporting leg until all the supporting legs are mounted.

2. The self-mounting method for the supporting legs of the wheeled crane of claim 1 , wherein the step of employing the operation part of the wheeled crane to lift the to-be-mounted supporting leg, and mounting the supporting leg on the vehicle frame comprises:

lifting the supporting leg to a necessary height;

aligning a pin shaft hole in the supporting leg with the pin shaft hole in the vehicle frame;

inserting a pin shaft in a mechanical manner, a hydraulic manner, a pneumatic manner or an electrical manner; and

connecting a pipelines between the supporting leg and the vehicle frame.

3. The self-mounting method for the supporting legs of the wheeled crane of claim 2 , wherein the step of connecting the pipelines between the supporting leg and the vehicle frame comprises:

connecting the pipelines between the supporting leg and the vehicle frame by employing a fast insertion structure.
