Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of monorail cranes, in particular to an electric monorail crane. Background Art

[0002] The electric monorail crane is driven by a motor, achieving zero-emission, pollution-free and low-noise green operation. This new type of lifting equipment not only solves many problems existing in traditional lifting equipment, but also significantly improves work efficiency and safety. Due to the use of motor drive, the start and stop response of the equipment is more sensitive, so higher requirements are placed on the braking system to ensure a good braking effect.

[0003] According to the patent with the announcement number CN217148324U, a double-brake monorail crane brake vehicle and a monorail crane are disclosed. The design is provided with two sets of double brake mechanisms arranged front and back along the track direction. During the braking process, the two brake blocks in each set of double brake mechanisms are in close contact with the track from both sides of the track. As the squeezing force between the brake blocks and the track increases, the friction between the two also increases, and finally the traveling mechanism stops moving.

[0004] Although the above solution effectively improves the braking effect by configuring two sets of braking mechanisms, in actual operation, the brake pads will initially experience a sliding friction stage when squeezing the rails for braking. In order to ensure the strength and service life of the rails, the brake pads should be replaced regularly as wearing parts. Each time the brake is applied, the fixed part of the brake pads directly contacts the rails, which will cause accelerated local wear of the brake pads, affecting their service life and braking performance.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention is provided with a connecting structure, a flipping structure, a clamping assembly and a passive braking assembly. The flipping structure ensures that the rotating plate can rotate to a coplanar state with the fixed plate, so that the two rotating plates remain parallel to each other, and at the same time ensures that the brake disc and the brake plate are also in a parallel relationship. This not only ensures uniform contact between the brake disc and the brake plate during braking, and improves the stability and safety of the braking process, but also during the movement, the brake disc rotates around its own axis through the drive of the rolling travel assembly, so that each time the brake is applied, the contact position of the brake disc and the brake plate is different, achieving uniform wear on the surface of the annular brake disc, avoiding the problem of local excessive wear caused by long-term contact at fixed positions, and extending the service life of the brake disc.

[0018] 2. In the present invention, the connecting shaft, roller, outer gear ring and rack track work together. When the monorail crane body drives the entire clamping assembly to translate along the hanging rail through the connecting structure, the outer gear ring in the rolling travel assembly rolls along the rack track. Due to the meshing relationship between the outer gear ring and the rack track, the outer gear ring can rotate around its own axis during movement, and further drive the roller connected to it to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft. The roller acts as a transmission medium, and its rotational motion is effectively transmitted to the brake disc connected to it, realizing the synchronous rotation of the brake disc, thereby ensuring the continuous rotation of the brake disc during the movement of the monorail crane body.

[0019] 3. The present invention is equipped with a transmission rod, a guide plate and a first driving structure. The guide groove design on the guide plate includes a straight groove portion and an arcuate groove portion. The straight groove portion can effectively prevent the transmission rod from rotating around the axial connection between the rotating plate and the fixed plate, ensuring that the rotating plate and the fixed plate remain in a coplanar state. When the brake disc needs to be replaced, the arcuate groove portion of the guide groove on the guide plate contacts the transmission rod, and the groove wall of the arcuate groove applies a force to the transmission rod, which is transmitted to the rotating plate through the transmission rod, causing the rotating plate to rotate around the axis between it and the fixed plate. As the rotating plate rotates, the entire clamping assembly also rotates, and its height is reduced, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the clamping assembly during the replacement of the brake disc, and providing space for the staff to repair and replace the brake disc.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 12As shown: an electric monorail crane, comprising a hanging rail 1 and a monorail crane body 2 arranged on the hanging rail 1, and also comprising a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism comprising a connecting structure 3, two flip structures 4, two clamping components 5 and a passive braking component 6; the connecting structure 3 comprises a U-shaped connecting frame 31, two fixed plates 32 and two rotating plates 33, the middle part of the U-shaped connecting frame 31 is connected to the monorail crane body 2, the two fixed plates 32 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the U-shaped connecting frame 31 and connected to the U-shaped connecting frame 31, the two rotating plates 33 are respectively arranged at the upper ends of the two fixed plates 32, and the rotating plates 33 are connected to the fixed plates 32. The fixed plate 32 is axially connected; the two flipping structures 4 are respectively arranged on the two fixed plates 32, and the flipping structures 4 are connected to the rotating plate 33; the two clamping components 5 are respectively arranged on the two rotating plates 33, the clamping component 5 includes a rolling walking component 51 and an active braking component 52, the rolling walking component 51 is installed on the rotating plate 33, the active braking component 52 includes a brake disc 521, and the brake disc 521 is arranged on the rolling walking component 51; the passive braking component 6 is arranged at the upper end of the hanging rail 1, the passive braking component 6 includes a brake plate 61, and the brake plate 61 is arranged between the two brake discs 521.

[0035] When the monorail crane body 2 is in working condition and moves along the hanging rail 1, the flip structure 4 rotates the rotating plate 33 to a coplanar state with the fixed plate 32, ensuring that the two rotating plates 33 are parallel to each other and the brake disc 521 maintains a parallel relationship with the brake plate 61. When the monorail crane body 2 moves along the hanging rail 1, the two clamping components 5 move along the hanging rail 1 through the linkage of the U-shaped connecting frame 31, the fixed plate 32 and the rotating plate 33. During this process, the rolling walking component 51 in the clamping component 5 drives the brake disc 521 to rotate around its own axis. If the monorail crane body 2 needs to be stopped, the two brake discs 521 will contact both sides of the brake plate 61 at the same time and gradually increase the squeezing force until the friction force generated is sufficient to prevent the monorail crane body 2 from moving. Since the brake disc 521 continues to rotate during the movement, the part in contact with the brake plate 61 is different each time the brake is applied, thereby achieving uniform wear on the surface of the brake disc 521, thereby avoiding local excessive wear and extending the service life of the brake disc 521.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: the rolling walking component 51 includes a connecting shaft 511, a roller 512 and an outer gear ring 513; one end of the connecting shaft 511 is connected to the rotating plate 33; the roller 512 is arranged at the other end of the connecting shaft 511, and the roller 512 and the connecting shaft 511 are connected through a bearing; the outer gear ring 513 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the roller 512; the passive braking component 6 also includes a rack rail 62, the rack rail 62 is arranged parallel to the upper end of the hanging rail 1, and the outer gear ring 513 is engaged with the rack rail 62.

[0037] When the monorail crane body 2 drives the entire clamping assembly 5 to translate along the hanging rail 1 through the connecting structure 3, the outer gear ring 513 in the rolling walking assembly 51 rolls along the rack track 62. Due to the meshing relationship between the outer gear ring 513 and the rack track 62, the outer gear ring 513 rotates around its own axis during the movement. The rotation of the outer gear ring 513 further drives the roller 512 connected thereto to rotate around the axis of the connecting shaft 511. The roller 512 serves as a transmission medium, and its rotation drives the synchronous rotation of the brake disc 521, thereby realizing the effective conversion of the horizontal movement of the monorail crane body 2 into the rotational movement of the brake disc 521, thereby ensuring the continuous rotation of the brake disc 521 during the movement of the monorail crane body 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown: the flip structure 4 includes a transmission rod 41, two guide plates 42 and a first driving structure 43; the transmission rod 41 is arranged inside the rotating plate 33, the transmission rod 41 is parallel to the axis of the axial connection between the fixed plate 32 and the rotating plate 33, and both ends of the transmission rod 41 extend out of the rotating plate 33; the two guide plates 42 are respectively arranged at both ends of the transmission rod 41, and a guide groove 421 is opened on the guide plate 42, and the transmission rod 41 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 421, and the guide groove 421 includes a straight groove and an arc groove, and the arc groove is connected to the straight groove; the first driving structure 43 is arranged on the fixed plate 32, and the first driving structure 43 is connected to the two guide plates 42.

[0039] When the brake disc 521 is in normal working condition, the end of the transmission rod 41 is located in the straight groove part of the guide groove 421. At this time, due to the limitation of the straight groove, the transmission rod 41 cannot rotate around the axial connection between the rotating plate 33 and the fixed axis, ensuring that the rotating plate 33 and the fixed axis remain in the same plane and maintain the stable operation of the brake disc 521. When the brake disc 521 needs to be replaced, the first driving structure 43 works to drive the two guide plates 42 to move synchronously, so that the arc groove part in the guide groove 421 contacts the transmission rod 41, and the groove wall of the arc groove applies a force to the transmission rod 41, which is transmitted to the rotating plate 33 through the transmission rod 41, prompting the rotating plate 33 to rotate around the axis between it and the fixed plate 32. As the rotating plate 33 rotates, the entire clamping assembly 5 also rotates, and its height decreases accordingly, thereby realizing the automatic flipping of the clamping assembly 5 during the replacement of the brake disc 521, providing space for the staff to repair and replace the brake disc 521.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown: the first driving structure 43 includes two screw rods 431, two moving blocks 432, two driving plates 433, a synchronous plate 434 and a reverse rotation component 435; the two screw rods 431 are arranged in parallel on one side of the fixed plate 32; the two moving blocks 432 are respectively arranged on the two screw rods 431; the two driving plates 433 correspond to the two moving blocks 432 respectively, and one end of the driving plate 433 is axially connected to the moving block 432; the synchronous plate 434 is arranged in parallel at the upper end of the screw rod 431, and the two ends of the synchronous plate 434 are axially connected to the two driving plates 433, and the two ends of the synchronous plate 434 are connected to the two guide plates 42; the reverse rotation component 435 is arranged at one end of the screw rod 431, and the reverse rotation component is composed of two gears 4351 and a rotating disk 4352, the two gears 4351 are respectively installed on the two screw rods 431, and the two gears 4351 are meshed, and the rotating disk 4352 is fixedly installed at one end of the screw rod 431.

[0041] When it is necessary to keep the rotating plate 33 and the fixed plate 32 coplanar, the staff will rotate the turntable 4352 clockwise, and the turntable 4352 will drive one of the screw rods 431 to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the two gears 4351, the other screw rod 431 will also rotate in the opposite direction at the same time, realizing the synchronous reverse rotation of the two screw rods 431, so that the two moving blocks 432 move in opposite directions along their respective screw rods 431, and then drive the synchronous plate 434 and the connected guide plate 42 to translate upward as a whole through the driving plate 433. In this process, the end of the transmission rod 41 will gradually slide into the linear groove along the trajectory of the guide groove 421, ensuring that the rotating plate 33 and the fixed plate 32 are coplanar. On the contrary, When the brake disc 521 needs to be replaced, the staff will rotate the turntable 4352 counterclockwise, causing the two moving blocks 432 to reset, that is, move along the screw rod 431 in the opposite but initial direction. This action drives the synchronous plate 434 and the connected guide plate 42 to reset downward as a whole through the driving plate 433. At the same time, the end of the transmission rod 41 will slide into the arc groove of the guide groove 421, providing the necessary conditions for the rotation of the rotating plate 33. Through the action of the reverse rotation component 435, the synchronous reverse rotation of the two screw rods 431 is ensured, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the moving block 432, the driving plate 433, the synchronous plate 434 and the guide plate 42, and ensuring the stable sliding of the transmission rod 41 in the guide groove 421.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown: the flip structure 4 also includes two first guide structures 44, the two first guide structures 44 are arranged on the fixed plate 32, and the two first guide structures 44 correspond to the two guide plates 42 respectively, the first guide structure 44 includes a first guide column 441 and a first connecting block 442, the first guide column 441 is vertically arranged, and the two ends of the first guide column 441 are connected to the fixed plate 32, the first connecting block 442 is slidably arranged on the first guide column 441, and the first connecting block 442 is connected to the guide plate 42 and the synchronization plate 434.

[0043] When a certain angle is formed between the rotating plate 33 and the fixed plate 32, the clamping assembly 5 installed on the rotating plate 33 will generate a downward force due to the action of gravity. This force is transmitted to the guide plate 42 through the transmission rod 41, and the guide plate 42 will transmit the force to the synchronous plate 434, causing the synchronous plate 434 to twist and deform without sufficient support. By setting two first guide structures 44, during the movement of the guide plate 42, the guide plate 42 drives the first connecting block 442 to slide along the first guide column 441, and the first connecting block 442 and the first guide column 441 are always connected. When the guide plate 42 is subjected to the force from the transmission rod 41, the component of this force in the non-vertical direction will be dispersed to the first guide column 441 through the first connecting block 442, while the component of the force in the vertical direction will continue to act on the synchronous plate 434. This force dispersion method makes the upper and lower sides of the synchronous plate 434 evenly stressed, thereby greatly reducing the risk of twisting and deformation of the synchronous plate 434.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown: the clamping mechanism also includes two linkage structures 7, which are respectively arranged on the two rotating plates 33, and the linkage structure 7 includes a linkage beam 71, two linkage push plates 72, two second guide structures 73 and two elastic linkage arms 74; the middle part of the linkage beam 71 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 511, and rollers 711 are arranged at both ends of the linkage beam 71; the two linkage push plates 72 are respectively arranged at both ends of the linkage beam 71; the two second guide structures 73 correspond to the two linkage push plates 72, and the linkage push plates 72 are connected to the second guide structure 73, and the second guide structure 73 includes a third guide column 731 and a second connecting block 732, and the two ends of the third guide column 731 are connected to the rotating plate 33, the second connecting block 732 is slidably arranged on the third guide column 731, and the second connecting block 732 is connected to the linkage push plate 72; the two elastic linkage arms 74 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotating plate 33, and the two ends of the elastic linkage arm 74 are respectively connected to the guide plate 42 and the linkage push plate 72.

[0045] When the flip structure 4 starts to drive the rotating plate 33 to rotate, the end of the transmission rod 41 first moves along the straight groove part of the guide groove 421. At this stage, the guide plate 42 itself does not guide the rotating plate 33 to rotate, but the guide plate 42 still moves downward and generates a force on the linkage push plate 72 through the elastic linkage arm 74. After receiving the force, the linkage push plate 72 slides along the third guide column 731. The second connecting block 732 ensures the stability and accuracy of the sliding. As the linkage push plate 72 moves, the linkage push plate 72 contacts with the roller 711 and applies a thrust to the roller 711. The thrust is generated by the linkage arm 74. The movable beam 71 is transmitted to the connecting shaft 511, generating a force along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 511, and the force causes the rolling travel assembly 51 to move along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 511 until the outer gear ring 513 therein is completely separated from the rack track 62. At this time, the end of the transmission rod 41 has moved to the arc groove portion of the guide groove 421, and the guide plate 42 begins to apply a torque to the rotating plate 33 to rotate it, ensuring that the rotating plate 33 can smoothly and accurately complete the rotation action, thereby achieving the rolling travel assembly 51 After being separated from the rack track 62, the rotating plate 33 is driven to rotate.

[0046] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the linkage push plate 72 includes an inclined plate 721 and a vertical plate 722 , one end of the inclined plate 721 is connected to the second guide structure 73 , and the other end of the inclined plate 721 is connected to the vertical plate 722 .

[0047] When the guide plate 42 drives the rotating plate 33 to rotate, the guide plate 42 still maintains a downward movement trend and continues to apply a force to the linkage push plate 72. In the initial stage, the inclined plate 721 first contacts the roller 711 and applies a thrust to the roller 711 by virtue of its inclined angle. The thrust is effectively transmitted to the linkage beam 71 through the roller 711, thereby pushing the rolling travel component 51 to move. As the rolling continues, the roller 711 gradually moves to a position in contact with the vertical plate 722. Since the vertical plate 722 is designed to be vertical, the vertical plate 722 cannot apply additional thrust to the roller 711, ensuring that when the roller 711 contacts the vertical plate 722, the movement of the rolling travel component 51 will stop, thereby limiting the movement range of the rolling travel component 51.

[0048] Reference Fig.10 As shown, the linkage structure 7 further includes a second spring 75 , which is sleeved on the connecting shaft 511 , and two ends of the second spring 75 are respectively in contact with the linkage beam 71 and the rotating plate 33 .

[0049] When the linkage push plate 72 applies a pushing force to the linkage beam 71 through the inclined plate 721, the linkage beam 71 will move along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 511, thereby driving the rolling walking assembly 51 to perform a corresponding displacement. At this time, due to the increase in the distance between the linkage beam 71 and the rotating plate 33, the second spring 75 will be gradually stretched and a large amount of elastic potential energy will be stored in this process. When the linkage push plate 72 is reset, the elastic potential energy in the second spring 75 begins to be released. As the second spring 75 contracts, the second spring 75 will apply a force to the linkage beam 71 toward the rotating plate 33 to reset the linkage beam 71. The force for resetting the linkage beam 71 is transmitted to the rolling walking assembly 51 through the connecting shaft 511, thereby realizing the resetting of the rolling walking assembly 51.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Fig.11 As shown: the active braking component 52 also includes a second driving structure 522, and the second driving structure 522 includes a transmission shaft 5221 and a linear driver 5222; the transmission shaft 5221 is coaxially arranged inside the connecting shaft 511, and one end of the transmission shaft 5221 passes through the roller 512 and is connected to the brake disc 521; the linear driver 5222 is arranged on the linkage beam 71, and the output end of the linear driver 5222 is abutted against the end of the transmission shaft 5221.

[0051] The transmission shaft 5221 is fixedly connected to the brake disc 521, and the rotation force of the brake disc 521 is transmitted to the transmission shaft 5221. The transmission shaft 5221 rotates around its own axis inside the connecting shaft 511. When braking is required, the output end of the linear driver 5222 applies a force toward the brake disc 521 to the transmission shaft 5221, so that the transmission shaft 5221 moves inside the connecting shaft 511. The transmission shaft 5221 pushes the brake disc 521 to separate from the roller 512, and makes the brake disc 521 press against the brake plate 61. When the brake disc 521 stops moving, the transmission shaft 5221 also stops moving, and limits the movement of the connecting shaft 511, thereby achieving braking of the roller 512.

[0052] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown: the active braking component 52 also includes a plurality of reset components 523, and the plurality of reset components 523 are arranged in a ring array about the transmission shaft 5221. The reset component 523 includes a second guide column 5231 and a first spring 5232. One end of the second guide column 5231 is connected to the brake disc 521, and the other end of the second guide column 5231 passes through the roller 512. The first spring 5232 is sleeved on the second guide column 5231, and both ends of the first spring 5232 are respectively abutted against the end of the second guide column 5231 and the roller 512.

[0053] During the rotation of the roller 512, the brake disc 521 is able to rotate synchronously with the roller 512 through the second guide posts 5231 in the plurality of reset assemblies 523. When the braking demand occurs and the brake disc 521 is in close contact with the brake plate 61, the first springs 5232 in the plurality of reset assemblies 523 are all in a compressed energy storage state, which reserves the necessary energy for the subsequent reset operation, ensuring that the braking system can quickly and accurately return to the initial state after the braking is completed. Once the linear drive 5222 removes the force on the transmission shaft 5221, the first spring 5232 will use its stored elastic potential energy to quickly reset, push the second guide post 5231 and the brake disc 521 to move together, and quickly separate the brake disc 521 from the brake plate 61, thereby ensuring the rapid switching of the brake disc 521 between the braking and non-braking states.
