Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for fixing a beam on a low-profile shore container crane, and more particularly to a fixing device for a truss beam and a container crane. Background Art

[0002] Due to historical and geographical constraints and multimodal transport considerations, many container terminals around the world are built near airports, placing the entire terminal below air routes. Consequently, strict height restrictions on crane equipment are imposed, and the demand for low-profile container transport equipment at trading ports is becoming increasingly urgent. With the increasing carrying capacity of ships, achieving the maximum possible lifting height under the spreader while maintaining specific height restrictions has become a key concern for terminal users. Developing a new generation of low-profile cranes to meet these new requirements is crucial.

[0003] Existing girder fixing systems require the girder to be tilted 80 degrees before being hooked and secured, which simply cannot meet the requirements of a truss girder. Because the truss girder extends in both land and sea directions, the girder fixing system adopts a "zero-gap" design principle to prevent the girder from moving in the direction of the trolley during crane operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fixing device for a truss girder and a container crane to meet the height limit requirements of the container crane.

[0032] In order to better understand the above technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fixing device for a truss beam provided by the present invention includes a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a third bracket 3, an electro-hydraulic push rod 4 and a locking mechanism.

[0034] The first bracket 1 is welded to the upper cross beam 100 on the sea side.

[0035] The second bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the first bracket 1 by bolts.

[0036] The third bracket 3 is welded to the truss girder 200 .

[0037] The electro-hydraulic push rod 4 is located in the first bracket 1, the locking mechanism is located in the second bracket 2, the lower end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 is connected to the locking mechanism, and the upper end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 is connected to the output side of the hydraulic station 6 through the pin shaft 5, and end covers 7 are installed on both ends of the pin shaft 5.

[0038] The hydraulic station 6 drives the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 downward to drive the locking mechanism to cooperate with the third bracket 3, so that the sea side upper cross beam 100 and the truss girder 200 are connected and fixed.

[0039] A limit device 8 is also installed between the first bracket 1 and the upper cross beam 100 on the sea side. When a storm or earthquake occurs, the limit device 8 can transmit the position to the ground operator through the sensing device thereon to protect the safety of the machine.

[0040] The locking mechanism includes a fourth bracket 9 and a roller 10;

[0041] The fourth bracket 9 is arranged in an eight-shaped shape, and its upper end is connected to the lower end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 through a pin shaft 11, so that the lower end of the fourth bracket 9 moves in opposite directions around the pin shaft 11.

[0042] The roller 10 is correspondingly mounted on the lower end of the fourth bracket 9 and moves with the fourth bracket 9 to open or close;

[0043] The third bracket 3 is provided with a guide rail adapted to the movement of the roller 10 .

[0044] The top of the third bracket 3 is connected to a stopper 12 via bolts.

[0045] A wedge limiter 13 is installed on the first bracket 1 .

[0046] When the fourth bracket 9 moves downward with the electro-hydraulic push rod 4, the roller 10 contacts the bottom of the guide rail on the third bracket 3, and the lower end of the fourth bracket 9 moves in the opposite direction around the pin shaft 11, and the roller 10 also opens until the roller 10 is inserted into the grooves on both sides of the guide rail that form a match with it and sticks to it, finally connecting and fixing the upper cross beam 100 on the sea side and the truss beam 200.

[0047] The wedge stopper 13 serves as a warning and protection and is welded directly to the first bracket 1. One side of the stopper 12 is bolted to the third bracket 3. When the truss girder 200 needs to operate, the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 connects to the stopper 12 and pulls the rollers 10 together, allowing the truss girder 200 to move back and forth. When the truss girder 200 needs to stop, the electro-hydraulic push rod 4 connects to the stopper 12, causing the rollers 10 to open, locking the truss girder 200 and shutting it down.

[0048] Combine Figure 5 As shown, the present invention further provides a container crane, comprising the fixing device of the truss girder of the present invention.

[0049] Four fixing devices 300 are provided on the truss girder 200: at a reach of 62.5 meters (the first operating position of the truss girder 200), a reach of 50.6 meters (the second operating position of the truss girder 200), a reach of 39.6 meters (the operating, anchoring, and maintenance position of the truss girder 200), and a reach of 0 meters (the parking position of the truss girder 200). These four fixing positions on the girder accommodate the operation of the spreader in various working conditions.

[0050] A box beam is installed on the side of the upper crossbeam 100 on the sea side, and the fixing device 300 is installed on the box beam. The box beam design has a strong load-bearing effect and is safe and reliable. At the same time, positioning bolts are added at each position to facilitate installation and construction.

[0051] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
