[0028] Example 1

[0029] The invention comprises a vehicle frame 1, a rotary power wheel mechanism 2, and a lifting device 3. The vehicle frame adopts a bionic structure of crustaceans, and is divided into an upper frame 4 and a lower base 5. The cross section of the frame is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the cross section of the frame gradually increases from both ends to the middle area. The base is fixed to the middle bottom of the upper frame, and a plurality of rotary power wheel mechanisms are distributed on the base. A slide rail 6 is provided at the inner top in the width direction of the frame, and the lifting device is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0030] In this embodiment, the frame is the main load-bearing part of the gantry crane. The frame adopts the bionic design of the skeleton of crustaceans.

The high-strength metal materials are made of high-strength steel, aluminum alloy, composite materials, etc., and the integral manufacturing is made by die injection molding or other existing integral molding methods. Based on the bionic design of the frame using the skeleton of crustaceans, the weight of the frame can be effectively reduced, which is expected to be reduced by 30%.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The structure and principle of Example 2 are similar to those of Example 1, except that: a preferred skeleton structure is provided, the skeleton includes a main beam 4-1 and a secondary beam 4-2, the main beam is arranged horizontally along the length of the gantry crane, and the secondary beams are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the main beam; the secondary beam located on one side of the main beam includes a first curved beam 4-21 and a second curved beam 4-22, the top ends of the first curved beam and the second curved beam are fixedly connected to the main beam, the bottom ends of the first curved beam are fixedly connected to the base, and the bottom ends of the first curved beam are fixedly connected to the base or another second curved beam; the first curved beam is located on a vertical plane perpendicular to the main beam, and the second curved beam extends from bottom to top to both ends of the main beam. At least one first curved beam is provided.

[0034] In the case given in Example 2, there are at least 2 structural forms;

[0035] First, the first curved beam is arranged in the middle area of ​​the main beam, and the second curved beam is arranged on both sides of the main beam; at least one second curved beam is arranged on one side of the first curved beam, and the inclination direction of the at least one second curved beam arranged on one side is the same.

[0036] Second, the first curved beam is arranged in the middle area of ​​the main beam, and the second curved beam is arranged on both sides of the main beam; at least two second curved beams are arranged on one side of the first curved beam, and the at least two second curved beams arranged on one side intersect.

[0037] In embodiments 1-2, at least 4 sets of rotary power wheel mechanisms are arranged on the base, and the number of rotary power wheel mechanisms depends on the gantry crane. As shown in the embodiment in the figure, 6 sets of rotary power wheel mechanisms are arranged on the base, and 3 sets of rotary power wheel mechanisms are arranged on one side of the base.

[0038] In Example 1-2, the rotary power wheel mechanism adopts the existing structure, and each set of rotary power wheel mechanism has an independent wheel hub propulsion motor, full rotary suspension device, battery and power distribution control box unit. During the operation of the gantry crane, each set of rotary power wheel mechanism can match the rotation speed, angle and height of each wheel according to the operation needs to achieve forward, backward, steering, lateral movement, crossing and other actions. Turn signals, warning lights and warning signs are provided on the frame to ensure the safety of personnel operation.

[0040] Preferably, the clamp adopts a variable diameter hydraulic clamp to match the lifting loads 7 of different shapes, and the loads are large unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned submarines (USVs).

[0041] In Example 1-2, a vehicle control room is provided on the vehicle frame, and the vehicle control room is electrically connected to the lifting equipment and the revolving power wheel mechanism; the movement of the lifting equipment and the revolving power wheel mechanism is controlled in the vehicle control room. A battery and power distribution control box unit 8 is also provided on the vehicle frame. The movement of the on-board cable lifting servo mechanism is controlled by the vehicle control room. When the revolving power wheel mechanism drives the gantry crane to the top of the load, the on-board cable lifting servo mechanism lowers the hook or clamp to connect with the load, and appropriately raises the lifting height according to the shape of the load; the revolving power wheel mechanism is started and drives to the specified position through maneuvering. A sliding track is provided on the main beam at the top of the gantry, and the on-board cable lifting servo mechanism extends or retracts along the track according to the load release requirements.

After reaching the release point, the variable diameter hydraulic clamp descends to a certain height, releases the load to complete a lifting operation, and after the lifting point is released, the door crane proceeds to the next transportation task.

[0042] The present application also provides a ship, in which a multi-task load compartment is provided, and in which a circular frame indoor motorized door crane as described above is provided.
