Abstract:

Rotating platform is one of the railway cranes key components, for the installation of crane jib, lifting mechanism, luffing mechanism and rotating mechanism. In order to guarantee the normal operation of the crane, the rotating platform should have enough stiffness and strength. Based on the finite element analysis software WORKBENCH, this paper takes a kind of 160t double rotary rescue railway crane as the research background, and completed the parametric modeling and structure analysis of the rotating platform including the flexible counterweight for the first time. Thus avoiding the errors brought by the equivalent weight before. And on this basis, through the finite element analysis software ANSYS, the thickness of various parts of the rotating platform was optimized. As a result, the weight of the rotary table has a significant reduction. This will provide a new method for the design of railway crane in the future.
