Description:
TOWER CRANE WITH BUCKET GRAB FOR VESTIGIAL OIL PROCESS

This invention referring to a oil vestigial take over and transportation plant contained by oil vestigial stored in open oil vestigial tanks for processing them to obtain heavy combustibles which can be burned into a hotbed.

Are known excavators which can take over the oil vestigial and using , a longer arm , the excavator cup transport the oil vestigial up to some vanes where is discharged. Disadvantage of those excavatprs is the small action range, up to maximum 5 meters and to increase the action range is mandatory to prepare some supports to carry the excavator to the open oil vestigial tank's centre. Are known pumps which are mounted with suction hole bounded by a steam serpentine and sustained in the open oil vestigial tank by winch cable, sucking and push the oil vestigial to the stored vanes.

Disadvantage of those pumps is the heating system and also the often actions regarding to the suction hole stuck with larger objects.

The problem which is resolved by the invention is to ensure a bigger action area, related to the open oil vestigial tank 's size, a special cup which is used to take over and transport the oil vestigial for a bigger volume.

The plant, according to this invention, avert the above mentioned disadvantages, because in the take over and transport assembly is implemented one articulate support assembly. On this , is mounted one action assembly which is connected with an electrical command assembly. The take over and transport assembly haye two cups provided with some superior hooks from where are articulated some hydraulic cylinders. By one of the semi-cup is fitted interior and lateral one collar which bringing together in contact the semi-cups , cover partially to the exterior the other one. Central, in each semi-cup is mounted one of some pinions which are moving between them and are passed axial by some torsion bars, cylinders are provided with some one and return way connectors, support assembly having two arms crossed by torsion bars. On the torsion bars are articulated hydraulic cylinders, arms are fixed by an inferior side of a support frame where are fixed some hooks . On the hooks are connected some chains , upper connected between them , action sub- assembly having a tank connected with the high pressure pump suction. The high pressure pump is interconnected with an electromagnetic distributor where are coupled some pipes, each of them communicated with two hoses to the hydraulic cylinders. Those pipes are also connected to the drain pipe of tank. The electrical command sub-assembly having some power cables of the pump and distributor are guided and supported along to the guiding sub-assembly arm, mentioned above. Using a steel cable, fixed on the entire length of the arm, which sustain some clamps, are passing trough the power cables.

Another object of invention is that one that the electrical command sub-assembly contain an three polar breaker in normal action and a manual starter with short circuit protection . This one is action by the alternative current contactor trough a three way selector key. For the power cable storage is provided one support located above the support sub-assembly hook, mentioned above. Rotating the installation arm which is 50 meters long, is possible to take over oil vestigial from different areas of the open oil vestigial tank, in this way is possible to conditioning the quality of the prime product. It is known that in the open oil vestigial tanks the vestigial mixture is not homogenous , depending by the discharged product .

Also, the product from the open vestigial tank is segregate in three main coatings : superior coating having approximate 20 % of oil product, the medium coating having approximate 50 % water and the inferior coating having approximate 30 % mud. The presented plant according to the invention have the next advantages :

- having a bigger action area which can be modified by the open oil vestigial tank's area, varying between 10 and 50 meters

- the semi-cups volume varying between 0,5 up to 2 me

- bigger functional time,

- easy maintenance

- safety exploitation

The plant, according to invention, is build it by a take over and transport sub- assembly A which Js articujate by the support sub-assembly B which have mounted on it the action sub-assembly C which is connected with the electrical command sub-assembly D. The sub-assembly B is mounted with the support and vertical movement sub-assembly E which is connected with a guiding and horizontal movement sub-assembly F. The last one, is mounted on the main vertical support sub-assembly G. F sub-assembly is mounted along to the secondary vertical support sub-assembly H which is located above the G sub-assembly , and by the F sub-assembly is tied on anti balance sub-assembly I. the A sub-assembly contain two semi-cups 1 and 2 , each one provided with some superior hooks a) and b) from Where is articulate one by one some hydraulic cylinders 3 and 4. By any of the semi-cups 1 and 2 ( preferring semi cup 2) is fixed one inferior and lateral collar 5 which connecting the semi-cups 1 and 2 , cover partially the semi-cup 1 at the exterior, doing in this way a inferior and lateral sealing of the interior defined by the semi-cup 1 and 2 beside the exterior. Central, in each semi-cup 1 and 2 is mounted one of the pinions 6 and 7 which are moving between them and which are axial crossed by the torsion bars 8 and 9. Each of the cylinders 3 and 4 is provided with two of some connectors 10, 11 , 12 and 13 for one way and return way of the high pressure oil. Sub-assembly B contain two arms which are όrossed by the bars 8 and 9 fitted with some safety bolts 15 and 16. On the arms 14 , upper side, are articulated using some bolts 17 and 18 , the hydraulic cylinders 3 and 4. The arms 14 are fixed by an inferior part of support frame 19 c, for example " U " shape profile bars are fixed four hooks 20 which allowed to be fixed four chains 21 , connected between the upper side by the one ring 22.

The C sub-assembly contain a tank 23 which is connected to the high pressure pump suction 24, between 150 and 210 bar, which pushing the oil under pressure trough the pipe 25 into a electromagnetic distributor 26 with the safety relief valve included which is commanded by a person from the cabin 27, mounted between G and H sub-assembly, allow pushing high pressure oil trough the pipes 28 or 29 connected with the high pressure hoses 30 and 31, jointed with coupling 10 and 11 on one way and with some other pressure hoses 32 and 33 , jointed with connectors 12 and 13 on the return way of cylinders 3 and 4. The 28 and 29 pipes are connected on the lower side to the tank 23 drain pipe 34, trough the strainer 35.

The oil pressure value trough the pipe 25 is measured using a gage 36. D sub-assembly is mounted in the cabin 27 and contain Q1 three polar switch and a Q2 manual starter with short circuit protection, this one is command by the alternative current contactor Kl Q1 switch is supplied by three phase current trough the fusible fuses F1, F2 and F3. Trough another K2 alternative current contactor, supplied with alternative mono phase current trough the fusjble fuses F4 and F5, is made it the command of the electromagnetic distributor 26.

E sub-assembly contain the 37 pulling cable from which is fixed a 38 hook along with the ring 22. Upper side, the 37 cable is rolled over some hoist 39, mounted with a carry 40 which can be moved in both ways on the rail 41. On the 37 cable are attached some three phase power cables 42 and 43 and also the mono phase power cable for the 7,5 KW pump motor 23 and distributor 26, Cables 42 and 43 belongs to the D sub-assembly and are guided and supported along to the arm 44 of the F sub-assembly. The 44 arm sustain some steel clamps 46 , hanging the 42 and 43 cables which are moved along the cable 45 during the movement of the carry 40.45 cable and 46 clamps belong to the D sub-assembly. On the 44 arm is mounted one winch 47 which move the 37 cable. H sub-assembly contain a 48 short arm from which are upper side fixed some anchors 49 to sustain the arm 44 and also some concrete weights 50 , jointed between them with some bolts 51, which all belong to the I sub-assembly mounted on the 44 arm.

G sub-assembly is made it frpm some well tide plates 52 and it sustain upper side a 53 serrated wheel, moved by two actuators.

The lift operator action first the main switch for power supply, then he's going up in the 27 cabin from where operate the arm 44, in the same way to locate the F sub- assembly above the open oil vestigial tank. After that, he's moving the carry 40 in the same way to locate the A sub-assembly on the desired vertical direction from where is expected to be collected the vestigial. Then, it is switch on the Q1 switch , then the Q2 starter trough the K1 contactor. In this moment, the high pressure pump 24 start , sucking the hydraulic oil from the tank 23 and then push it trough the pipe 25 to the distributor 26. Because the access ways of the 26 distributor to the hydraulic cylinders 3 and 4 are blocked, the oil is re-circulated in the tank 23 trough the safety relief valve implemented in the distributor 26 and strainer 35. Switching the three ways key selector S2 to the right or left, the operator command one or other of the electromagnetic coils of distributor 26. In this way the pumped oil trough the pump 24 is guided to the pipe 28 or 29 and then trough the hoses 30 / 31 or 32 / 33, reaching the connectors 10 and 11 or 12 and 13, going to the top side of the hydraulic cylinders 3 and 4 , doing compression or de-compression of them. In this way are open or closed those two semi-cups 1 and 2 of the A sub-assembly. Trough the specifically maneuvers is moved the plant winch 47 , lopsing cable 37 of the E sub-assembly. The hook 38 going down and , along with it A, B, C and D sub- assemblies up to when those two semi-cups 1 and 2 of the A sub-assembly are sinking in the oil vestigial from the open oil vestigial tank. In this moment the operator, switch again the Q1 switch starting the high pressure pump motor 24 trough the K1 contactor and switch the S2 selector to the right on the Il position. The oil pumped trough the pipe 25 reach to the distributor 26 and from here , trough the pipe 29 and hoses 32 and 33 , reach the connectors 12 and 13 in the hydraulic cylinders 3 and 4, pressing on the pistons face. Because of the oil pressure , the pistons are moving back pulling out their stems from the cylinders 3 and 4. The oil which is behind the pistons is pushed trough the connectors 10 and 11 trough the hoses 30 and 31 and pipe 28, back to the distributor 26 from where trough his two de-pressurized room is pushed in pipe 34 and trough the strainer 35 reach back in tank 23. This operation continue up to when those two semi-cups 1 and 2 of the A sub-assembly are fully closed. In this moment is action selector S2 on the 0 position and again the winch 47 of the F sub-assembly is moved to collect the cable 37 on the drum. To short the pulling cable 37 means to lift the hook 38 and, along with it the A, B, C and D sub-assemblies. Since cable 37 is shorted, the power cables 42 and 43 are collected on the support 54 located above the hook 38.When the A sub- assembly is lifted from the open oil vestigial tank, it is quickly switch on and off the selector S2 on position I to see if the emi-cups 1 and 2 already took too much water. If is like that, the water is released back in the tank , keeping in the semi-cups only the oil vestigial .When from the semi-cups 1 and 2 start to drain oil vestigial, those are closed and it is shut off the power supply for the pump 24 and for the distributor 26, where the selector key S2 is on 0 position. After that, continue to lift the A sub- assembly up to the storage tank high. The plant operator, maneuvering the carry 40 and then rotate the F sub-assembly up to positioning the A sub-assembly above the storage tank, this one having the open covers to take over the oil vestigial. The plant operator, switch on the Q1 switch connecting the Q2 starter manually trough the K1 contactor. In this way is started the high pressure motor pump 24. Then, switch the selector S2 from 0 to I position. In this way, those two semi-cups of the A sub- assembly are going to open and the oil vestigial is draining inside the storage tank. After depletion, switch the selector S2 in Il position and the semi-cups 1 and 2 are going to closed. Switch the selector S2 on 0 position and then switch off the power supply for pump 24 by disconnect the Q1 switch. Rotate arm 44 and positioning the carry 40 above the area from where is collected the oil vestigial. Repeat the loading and unloading operations of the semi-cups 1 and 2 of the A sub-assembly up to fill the storage tank.

Up to the product from the storage tank is processed, the oil vestigial take over and transport plant is stopped.
