The invention discloses an electric tensioning mechanism for a traction steel
wire rope of a trolley of a
tower crane. The electric tensioning mechanism comprises a motor, a planetary gear
reducer, aratchet wheel, a
detent, a tension spring and a mounting seat and is characterized in that the output end of the motor is connected with the input end of the planetary gear
reducer, the planetary gearreducer is connected with the mounting seat, the output end of the planetary gear
reducer is connected with the
ratchet wheel, and the motor drives the
ratchet wheel to rotate through the planetary gear reducer; the
detent is connected with the mounting seat, the tension spring is assembled between the
detent and the mounting seat, one end of the tension spring is connected with the detent, and the other end of the tension spring is connected with the mounting seat; and the detent is
cut into a tooth groove of the
ratchet wheel through the pulling force effect of the tension spring. The electric tensioning mechanism has the characteristics of being convenient to operate, stable, quick, safe and reliable; the motor drives the ratchet wheel to rotate through the planetary gear reducer so asto wind the traction steel
wire rope, thus the traction steel
wire rope can be tensioned quickly and effectively, it is ensured that the traction steel wire
rope has the enough tension, and thus thetower crane is
safer during hoisting operation, and more precise in positioning.
