[0021] At present, the maximum lifting weight of conventional shore cranes at the front of the wharf is generally around 50 tons. For goods with a lifting weight of more than 50 tons, it is often necessary to rent expensive floating cranes for loading and unloading, which results in high lifting costs.

[0022] Therefore, the loading and unloading frame includes a frame body 1, on which is provided a front end hook 13, which can be connected to the cargo 3 through a sling 18, an upper trolley lifting ear 11 is fixedly connected to the frame body 1, and the upper trolley lifting ear 11 can be connected to the upper trolley hook 16 of the gantry crane 2 through the sling 18, and a lower trolley lifting ear 12 is fixedly connected to the frame body 1, and the lower trolley lifting ear 12 can be connected to the lower trolley hook 17 of the gantry crane 2 through the sling 18.

[0023] The upper trolley lifting eye 11 or the lower trolley lifting eye 12 fixed on the upper part of the loading and unloading frame is connected to the upper trolley hook 16 and the lower trolley hook 17 of the gantry crane 2 through a lifting sling 18. During the lifting process, the upper trolley hook 16 and the lower trolley hook 17 of the gantry crane 2 can be lifted, lowered or moved as needed to keep the loading and unloading frame under force balance and lift the cargo 3 to the designated location.

[0024] The front end hook 13 of the loading and unloading frame of the sling 18 can adjust the height difference between the front end hook 13 and the frame body 1 by adjusting the length of the sling 18.

[0025] A counterweight frame 14 is provided at the rear of the frame body 1 , and a counterweight block 15 is placed in the counterweight frame 14 , which can maintain the force balance of the loading and unloading frame through the hook lifting and hook releasing operations of the upper trolley 22 and the lower trolley 23 .

[0026] According to the weight of the hoisted cargo 3, a suitable counterweight can be loaded into the counterweight tray provided at the rear end of the loading and unloading frame to meet the requirements of the hoisting calculation force balance.

[0027] Preferably, the specific number of the upper trolley lifting ears 11 is four. In other embodiments of the present invention, the specific number of the upper trolley lifting ears 11 may be more than four, as long as the cargo 3 and the loading and unloading frame can maintain force balance when the upper trolley 22 and the lower trolley 23 are lifting and releasing the hook.

[0028] Preferably, the specific number of the lower trolley lifting ears 12 is two, and the two lower trolley lifting ears 12 are located at the left and right ends of the frame body 1. In other embodiments of the present invention, the specific number of the lower trolley lifting ears 12 may be more than two, as long as it can be ensured that the cargo 3 and the loading and unloading frame maintain force balance when the upper trolley 22 and the lower trolley 23 are lifting and releasing the hook.

[0029] A method for lifting cargo for loading and unloading cargo at a dock, using a dock loading and unloading frame, comprises the following steps; S1, move two gantry cranes 2 to the designated lifting position of the wharf 4; Specifically, the two gantry cranes 2 share a common track, and the two gantry cranes 2 are located on the gantry crane track 21 , and then the two gantry cranes 2 move to the designated lifting position of the dock 4 through the gantry crane track 21 .

[0031] The upper trolley lifting eye 11 or the lower trolley lifting eye 12 fixed on the upper part of the loading and unloading frame is connected to the upper trolley hook 16 and the lower trolley hook 17 of the gantry crane 2 through a lifting sling 18. During the lifting process, the upper trolley hook 16 and the lower trolley hook 17 of the gantry crane 2 can be lifted, lowered or moved as needed to keep the force balance of the loading and unloading frame, and at the same time cooperate with the gantry crane 2 to move synchronously to lift the cargo 3 to the designated location.

[0032] S4, connecting the loading and unloading frame to the cargo 3; The front end hook 13 of the loading and unloading frame is connected to the cargo 3 through a sling 18, and a counterweight block 15 of a suitable size is placed in the counterweight frame 14 at the rear end of the loading and unloading frame.

[0033] The front end hook 13 of the loading and unloading frame can adjust the height difference between the front end hook 13 and the frame body 1 by adjusting the length of the sling 18 .

[0034] S5, two gantry cranes 2 lift the cargo 3 to the designated location; Specifically, the upper trolley 22 and the lower trolley 23 of the two gantry cranes 2 synchronously lift, move, and release the hook, and cooperate with the gantry cranes 2 to move synchronously to lift the cargo 3 to the designated location.

[0035] S6. Disconnect the front end hook 13 on the loading and unloading frame from the sling 18 connecting the cargo 3.

[0036] Specifically, after the front end hook 13 on the loading and unloading frame is disconnected from the sling 18 connecting the cargo 3, a lifting operation is completed.

[0037] If the next lifting operation is to be continued, steps S4 to S6 are repeated.

[0038] The present invention utilizes two gantry cranes 2 to be connected to a loading and unloading frame via a sling 18, and the front end hook 13 at the front end of the loading and unloading frame is connected to the cargo 3 via the sling 18. The two gantry cranes 2 are then synchronously hooked, walked, moved, and hooked, and the cargo 3 at the front of the barge 31 or the dock 4 is lifted to a designated location. After the connection between the front end of the loading and unloading frame and the cargo 3 is released, the next lifting operation can be repeated.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
