Mounting/dismounting device for connecting pin assembly in crane structure
A mounting/dismounting device for connecting pins in crane structures has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11951577B2). The device includes a rod with a head for a screwdriver, a base supporting a nut, a proximal stop, and a bushing that can be configured for mounting or dismounting. The base features a support sleeve for the nut, allowing for rotation and translation in both configurations. Longitudinal grooves secure the nut in place during mounting and dismounting, with additional features like magnets for stability and a mechanical lock for axial blocking.
The system also includes a mounting method involving positioning the connecting pin, mounting the bushing and base, and using a screwdriver to drive the rod into the nut, facilitating the assembly of frame elements. A dismounting method is detailed for removing the connecting pin by reversing the process, with the device aiding in the controlled extraction of the pin. The assembly kit includes the mounting/dismounting device, connecting pins, and a screwdriver, providing a comprehensive solution for end-to-end assembly of crane structures. The patent covers various configurations and features of the device, ensuring efficient and precise mounting and dismounting processes for crane construction.
