Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge erection machines, and in particular to a latch device suitable for supporting legs of a bridge erection machine. Background Art

[0002] The supporting leg columns of the bridge-building machine are divided into an inner column and an outer column, and the inner column is inserted in the outer column. Both the inner column and the outer column are provided with a number of pin holes. When adjusting the height of the supporting legs of the bridge-building machine, the bridge-building machine adjusts the relative positions of the inner column and the outer column by inserting the adjustment pin shaft into the hole to achieve the adjustment of the height of the supporting legs. However, the pin shaft weighs more than ten kilograms and is generally 60mm or 100mm in diameter. In the prior art, it is generally operated by manually inserting and pulling out the pin shaft, which has high labor intensity. In addition, the front supporting legs of the bridge-building machine stand on the bridge pier. The space for the pin insertion operation is small and the height is high.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a latch device suitable for the legs of a bridge erection machine, which includes: a leg column 1, a lower crossbeam 21, a driving mechanism and a pin shaft 3.

[0038] In the prior art, the support leg column 1 of the bridge erecting machine is generally a hollow box-shaped column. The support leg column 1 can also be a column with a cross-section of other shapes, or a solid column. The support leg column 1 in this embodiment adopts a hollow box-shaped column, and one leg includes two left and right support leg columns 1 parallel to each other, each support leg column 1 has a plurality of first pin holes 11 evenly distributed along its axial direction, and the first pin holes 11 pass through the support leg column 1.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 The lower cross beam 21 is a conventional structure on the existing bridge erecting machine. The lower cross beam 21 is simultaneously mounted on the two leg columns 1. The lower cross beam 21 can slide up and down along the leg columns 1 to adjust the leg length. Two left and right second pin holes 211 are provided on the lower cross beam 21. The left second pin hole 211 corresponds to the first pin hole 11 of the left leg column 1, and the right second pin hole 211 corresponds to the first pin hole 11 of the left leg column 1. When the lower cross beam 21 rises or falls to a certain height, the pin shaft 3 is simultaneously passed through the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 211 to lock the lower cross beam 21 with the leg column 1, so as to adjust the leg length.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1The driving mechanism is fixed on the lower cross beam 21. In the present embodiment, two driving mechanisms are provided, and one driving mechanism corresponds to one pin shaft 3. It should be noted that only one driving mechanism may be provided, and one driving mechanism is used to drive the two pin shafts 3 to move synchronously. The driving mechanism is between the two pin shafts 3, and the driving mechanism is installed in the lower cross beam 21. Those skilled in the art may also adopt other technical solutions that utilize one driving mechanism to realize the synchronous movement of the two pin shafts 3, as long as the driving mechanism does not interfere with the relative movement between the lower cross beam 21 and the support leg column 1.

[0041] The driving mechanism in this embodiment is provided with a telescopic rod that can be extended and retracted along a straight line. Specifically, the driving mechanism can be a driving hydraulic cylinder 4 or other actuators that can realize linear motion output. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism adopts a driving hydraulic cylinder 4, and the telescopic rod that can be extended and retracted along a straight line is the piston rod of the driving hydraulic cylinder 4. In order to reduce the overall length of the latch device, reduce the space occupied by the latch device, and improve the operating stability of the latch device, in this embodiment, the pin shaft 3 is arranged parallel to the driving hydraulic cylinder 4, that is, the axis of the pin shaft 3 is parallel to the axis of the piston rod of the driving hydraulic cylinder 4, and one end of the pin shaft 3 is fixed to the piston rod of the driving hydraulic cylinder 4 through a connecting plate 7. When the second pin hole 211 is aligned with the first pin hole 11, the driving hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the pin shaft 3 to pass through the second pin hole 211 and the first pin hole 11 at the same time to achieve the locking of the lower cross beam 21 and the support leg column 1.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 Since the support leg column 1 is a hollow box-shaped column and the pin 3 can be regarded as a cantilever beam structure, when the free end of the pin 3 passes through the first pin hole 11 on one side of the support leg column 1 and is inserted into the box-shaped column, the free end of the pin 3 may be displaced to a certain extent due to its large deadweight, and the axis of the pin 3 is no longer colinear with the axis of the first pin hole 11, resulting in the free end of the pin 3 being unable to pass through the first pin hole 11 on the other side of the support leg column 1 normally. In order to allow the pin shaft 3 to smoothly pass through the entire leg column 1, a guide member for guiding the pin shaft 3 to pass through the first pin hole 11 is fixed on the inner wall of the box column. The guide member may be a guide member with a guide slope or other guide structure. The guide member of this embodiment is a guide cone sleeve 5, which is in a trumpet shape. The small-diameter end of the guide cone sleeve 5 is fixed on the inner wall of the box column and communicates with the first pin hole 11. When the free end of the pin shaft 3 is inserted into the leg column 1, the conical surface 31 of the guide cone sleeve 5 is used to guide the pin shaft 3 to pass through the first pin hole 11 to avoid failure of the pin insertion. It should be noted that since the leg column 1 is provided with first pin holes 11 on both sides, the inner wall of the side with the first pin hole 11 in the leg column 1 can be fixedly installed with a guide cone sleeve 5.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6It should be noted that the strength and rigidity of the connecting plate 7 between the driving hydraulic cylinder 4 and the pin shaft 3 must be able to resist the torque of the pin shaft 3 on the connecting plate 7 to prevent the connecting plate 7 from being bent. In addition, during the bolting action, when the pin shaft 3 collides with the guide cone sleeve 5 and continues to be inserted, the connecting plate 7 may vibrate. This embodiment increases the thickness of the connecting plate 7 or uses a high-strength steel plate to avoid the vibration of the connecting plate 7 during the bolting process. Please refer to Fig. 9 The connecting plate 7 may also be provided with an arc structure 71 to further enhance the strength of the connecting plate 7 and improve the stability of the connecting plate 7 .

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4 In order to make the pinning action of the pin shaft 3 smoother, a conical surface 31 is provided at the end of the free end of the pin shaft 3. The conical surface 31 at the end of the pin shaft 3 is used to guide the pin shaft 3 to be smoothly inserted into the first pin hole 11 or the second pin hole 211. In this embodiment, the pinning action of the pin shaft 3 is smoother through the dual guidance of the conical end and the guide cone sleeve 5.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , Figures 7 and 8 After the pin 3 is inserted into the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 211, that is, after the lower cross beam 21 is fixed to the leg column 1 through the pin 3, in order to keep the pin 3 locked and prevent the pin 3 from falling off the latch device, the latch device is also provided with a locking mechanism 6, one pin 3 corresponds to one locking mechanism 6, and the pin 3 is provided with a locking groove 32, which is an annular groove. When the pin 3 is inserted into place, the locking mechanism 6 and the locking groove 32 are used to lock the pin 3 to prevent the pin 3 from loosening due to impact or equipment movement.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 7 and 8 The locking mechanism 6 includes a locking rod 61, a guide sleeve 62, a locking compression spring 63 and an unlocking drive unit. One end of the guide sleeve 62 is fixed to the lower cross beam 21 through a support 65, and the other end of the guide sleeve 62 is provided with a guide hole. One end of the locking rod 61 is provided with a limiting ring 611, and the other end of the locking rod 61 passes through the guide hole from the guide sleeve 62 and extends to the outside of the guide sleeve 62. The diameter of the limiting ring 611 is larger than the aperture of the guide hole, and the limiting ring 611 is located in the guide sleeve 62. The locking rod 61 is prevented from completely disengaging from the guide sleeve 62 by the limiting ring 611, so as to realize the connection between the locking rod 61 and the guide sleeve 62. The locking compression spring 63 is located in the guide sleeve 62, and one end of the locking compression spring 63 abuts against the locking rod 61, and the other end of the locking compression spring 63 abuts against the support 65. The locking compression spring is initially in a compressed state, and the locking rod 61 is kept in an extended state by the locking compression spring 63. The unlocking drive part is fixed on the support 65 , and is provided with a connecting rod 67 fixed to the locking rod 61 . The unlocking drive part may adopt a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or other actuators. The unlocking drive part of this embodiment adopts an unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 .

[0047] During the latch action, the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 is in an unloaded state, and the locking rod 61 remains extended only under the action of the locking compression spring 63 until it contacts the conical surface 31 of the pin shaft 3, and the locking rod 61 is forced to retract into the guide sleeve 62. When the locking rod 61 is aligned with the locking groove 32 of the pin shaft 3, the locking rod 61 pops into the locking groove 32, and the locking rod 61 remains locked to the pin shaft 3 under the action of the locking compression spring 63; when the pin shaft 3 is unlocked, the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 is in a loaded state, the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 retracts and drives the locking rod 61 to retract into the guide sleeve 62 through the connecting rod 67, and at the same time, the locking rod 61 compresses the locking compression spring 63, so that the locking rod 61 escapes from the locking groove 32 of the pin shaft 3, so as to pull out the pin shaft 3. When the pin shaft 3 is pulled out, the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 resumes extension and unloading, and the locking rod 61 remains extended again under the action of the locking compression spring 63.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, a compression spring guide shaft 66 is provided in the guide sleeve 62, and the locking compression spring 63 is sleeved on the compression spring guide shaft 66 and abuts against the compression spring guide shaft 66. The compression spring guide shaft 66 is used to guide the telescopic movement of the locking compression spring 63 to prevent the locking compression spring 63 from twisting during the compression process. The compression spring guide shaft 66 is provided with a central hole for the connecting rod 67 to pass through.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figures 5 and 6 When the pin shaft 3 is pulled out by the driving hydraulic cylinder 4, when the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 is extended to the right position, the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 can be regarded as a cantilever beam, and the entire weight or most of the weight of the pin shaft 3 is borne by the piston rod of the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64. The weight of the pin shaft 3 can reach more than ten kilograms, which will cause the free end of the piston rod of the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 to tilt downward, so that the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64 will have problems such as oil leakage, which will shorten the life of the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64. In order to avoid shortening the service life of the unlocking hydraulic cylinder 64, in this embodiment, a supporting plate 81 is provided on the outer wall of the lower cross beam 21. When the pin shaft 3 is pulled out to the right position, the end of the pin shaft 3 with the conical surface 31 is placed on the supporting plate 81, and part of the weight of the pin shaft 3 is shared by the supporting plate 81.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] This embodiment is improved on the basis of the first embodiment. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0052] The latch device also includes a control device (not shown), which includes a controller and a sensor. The controller can be a PLC or an industrial computer. The controller of this embodiment adopts a PLC. The sensor includes a magnetostrictive displacement sensor for detecting the extension position of the hydraulic cylinder. The magnetostrictive displacement sensor is installed on the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91. The outrigger height adjustment value is set in the PLC, and the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91 is automatically controlled to extend by the PLC. When the magnetostrictive displacement sensor is triggered, it indicates that the extension stroke of the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91 has reached the set value, and the PLC controls the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91 to stop extending and lock the oil cylinder.

[0053] It should be noted that an upper crossbeam 22 is sleeved between the two outrigger columns 1, and the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91 is fixed on the upper crossbeam 22. The upper crossbeam 22 is also locked with the outrigger column 1 through a latch. When it is necessary to lift the outrigger column 1 upward, the latch between the upper crossbeam 22 and the outrigger column 1 is pulled out, and the lower crossbeam 21 is locked with the outrigger column 1 through the latch. The outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91 is retracted to lift the outrigger column 1. After the height of the outrigger column 1 is raised, the upper crossbeam 22 and the outrigger column 1 are locked with the latch. When the position of the lower crossbeam 21 relative to the outrigger column 1 is to be adjusted, the latch of the upper crossbeam 22 and the outrigger column 1 is kept locked, the latch between the upper crossbeam 22 and the outrigger column 1 is pulled out, and the lower crossbeam 22 is driven to move to the set position through the outrigger hydraulic cylinder 91, and the lower crossbeam 21 and the outrigger column 1 are locked with the latch.

[0054] A pin hole centering detection device is also provided on the lower cross beam 21. The pin hole centering detection device can adopt a CCD visual detection system, which obtains images of the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 211 through a CCD camera. The PLC obtains the image information and displays it to the operator. The operator determines whether the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 211 are aligned based on the image information. If the operator confirms that the first pin hole 11 and the second pin hole 211 are aligned, the PLC controls the action of the pin latch hydraulic cylinder to realize automatic pin latching.

[0055] The PLC is connected to a latch protection device, which may be a sensor on the guide sleeve 62 or the locking rod 61. When the locking rod 61 is retracted into the guide sleeve 62, the sensor is not triggered, indicating that the pin 3 is not locked. When the locking rod 61 extends out of the guide sleeve 62 and the limit ring 611 is pressed against the guide sleeve 62, the sensor is triggered, indicating that the latch is successful and the pin 3 is locked. After the sensor is triggered, it sends a signal to the PLC, which allows the bridge erection machine to continue operating and ensures the safety of the bridge erection operation.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 and Fig.10The latch device of this embodiment is further provided with a pin pulling in place detection mechanism 82, which is fixed on the support plate 81, and has the same structure as the locking mechanism 6. The structure of the pin pulling in place detection mechanism 82 is as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 It should be noted that Figure 7 and Figure 8 The structure of the unlocking mechanism 6 and the pin removal detection mechanism 82 is shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The reference numerals without brackets represent the structure of the unlocking mechanism 6 , and the reference numerals with brackets represent the structure of the pin removal detection mechanism 82 .

[0057] The pin-unlocking hydraulic cylinder 824 of the pin-unlocking detection mechanism 82 is provided with a magnetostrictive displacement sensor for detecting the telescopic state of the piston rod of the pin-unlocking hydraulic cylinder 824. When the pin shaft 3 is in the state of being locked and latched, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , the pin-unlocking hydraulic cylinder 824 of the pin-unlocking detection mechanism 82 is unloaded, and the pin-unlocking rod 821 is retracted into the pin-unlocking guide sleeve 822 under the pressure of the pin shaft 3. At the same time, the pin-unlocking rod 821 compresses the pin-unlocking compression spring 823, and the piston rod of the pin-unlocking hydraulic cylinder 824 is retracted and the magnetostrictive displacement sensor is not triggered. Fig.10 , the locking mechanism 6 is unlocked, the pin shaft 3 is pulled out, until the pin pulling locking rod 821 of the pin pulling in place detection mechanism 82 bounces into the locking groove 32, the piston rod of the pin pulling unlocking hydraulic cylinder 824 is extended and the magnetostrictive displacement sensor is triggered, and after the PLC receives the signal that the magnetostrictive displacement sensor is triggered, the PLC determines that the pin shaft 3 is pulled out in place and locked, and the PLC controls the driving hydraulic cylinder 4 to stop extending and unlocks the operator's authority to perform the next operation. If the PLC determines that the pin shaft 3 is not pulled out in place, the operator cannot perform the next operation, so as to play a role of safety protection.

[0058] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
