Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cranes, and in particular to a container lifting crane. Background Art

[0002] When loading coal into a container, the container is usually tilted appropriately first, and then the coal is loaded into the container from the yard or conveyor belt in an orderly manner with the help of professional and specific loading equipment. As a large amount of coal is continuously poured in, the coal slowly accumulates in the container. However, when the container is laid flat, the coal will be distributed in a slope. This sloped coal is very likely to cause the center of gravity of the container to be unstable during subsequent land transportation. Once the center of gravity is unstable, the risk factor during transportation will be greatly increased.

[0003] Application No.: 201310573937.3 discloses a planar two-degree-of-freedom nine-rod servo-driven container reach-lift crane. The invention realizes operations such as clamping, lifting, and transporting containers under the joint drive of the boom lifting mechanism and the boom telescopic mechanism, and has the advantages of small motion inertia, flexible trajectory output, and high precision.

[0004] Application No.: 201120472318.1 discloses a reach-lift crane. The reach-lift crane of this structure integrates a cab and a front frame, reduces the appearance size of the vehicle, and makes the whole vehicle structure of the reach-lift crane more compact.

[0005] Application No.: 201210035201.6 discloses an off-road container reach stacker, which can meet the performance index requirements of ordinary container reach stackers and have the performance requirements of container handling and loading and unloading under harsh outdoor environmental conditions. The existing technology cannot solve the above problems.

[0006] During the long journey of land transportation, the transport vehicles will inevitably brake. Every time the brakes are applied, inertia will be generated, and this inertia will cause the coal blocks inside the container, which are originally unstable, to start moving. Driven by inertia, the coal blocks in the container will continue to collide with the container door. If this situation continues for a long time, this strong collision will easily cause serious damage to the container door. Once the container door is damaged, it will not only affect the safe transportation of the goods, exposing the goods to the risk of leakage and damage, but also increase the subsequent maintenance costs, bringing economic pressure and operational troubles to the transportation company. Summary of the invention

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.

[0027] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 to Figure 2 A container lifting crane comprises a crane body 1 and a hanging box 2, characterized in that when the crane body 1 is operated, the hanging box 2 is also lifted, two groups of limit holes 3 are arranged at the bottom of the hanging box 2, a linear motion driving device 4 is installed at the center of the bottom of the hanging box 2, the linear motion driving device 4 is any one of the three types of electric push rods, cylinders and hydraulic cylinders, a rotating frame 5 is horizontally installed at the top of the linear motion driving device 4, a transmission rod 6 is arranged on the rotating frame 5, a group of transmission wheels 7 are sleeved on the transmission rod 6, and rotating bearings 8 are arranged at both ends of the transmission rod 6, and the rotating bearings 8 are installed On the rotating frame 5, a servo motor 9 is installed on either side of the transmission rod 6. The servo motor 9 is installed on the rotating frame 5. The rotating shaft of the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 6. A transmission belt 10 is installed on the transmission wheel 7. If the transmission wheel 7 is a gear, the transmission belt 10 is a rack. If the transmission wheel 7 is a sprocket, the transmission belt 10 is a chain. A container lifting frame 11 is installed at the bottom of the hanging box 2. The hanging box 2 also limits the swing of the lifting frame 11. A flat plate 12 is installed on the container lifting frame 11. Both ends of the transmission belt 10 pass through the limiting holes 3 and are fixedly connected to the flat plate 12.

[0028] In one embodiment, loading operation: refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 , fully extend the linear motion drive device 4, the container hoisting frame 11 and the flat plate 12 are close to the bottom of the hanging box 2, the operator drives the crane body 1 to insert the container hoisting frame 11 into the container loaded with coal to lift it, and at the same time operates the linear motion drive device 4 to retract. When the linear motion drive device 4 is fully retracted, the operator drives the crane body 1 to lift the hanging box 2, and the container hoisting frame 11 and the flat plate 12 are restrained by the container and the inclined coal inside the box. As the operator drives the crane body 1 to slowly lift the hanging box 2, the coal inside the container is affected by its own gravity. When lifting, one side of the container is lifted first. In this process, the transmission belt 10 drives the transmission wheel 7 to rotate, and the staff operates The crane body 1 stops lifting, and then operates the servo motor 9 to rotate and slowly level the container, and then continues to rotate slowly to tilt the container to the other side. The coal inside the container is affected by gravity, and the coal on the slope gradually becomes flat. The tilt angle of the whole process is controlled between 30° and 60°. At the same time, the servo motor 9 slowly rotates to gradually level the coal, which prevents the internal coal from hitting the box door during land transportation. Then the servo motor 9 rotates in the opposite direction to restore the hanging box 2 to a horizontal state, and the linear motion drive device 4 is fully extended. The container lifting frame 11, the flat plate 12 and the container are close to the bottom of the hanging box 2, which is convenient for the crane body 1 to place the container on the transport vehicle.

[0029] In one embodiment, unloading operation: refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2, fully extend the linear motion drive device 4, the container lifting frame 11 and the flat plate 12 are close to the bottom of the hanging box 2, the operator drives the crane body 1 to insert the container lifting frame 11 into the container loaded with coal and lift it from the transport vehicle, and at the same time operate the linear motion drive device 4 to retract. When the linear motion drive device 4 is fully retracted, it is placed on the unloading slope platform (not shown in the figure), and the unloading personnel climb onto the platform to open the box door. The unloading platform is used to unload with the help of the slope to avoid coal dumping out when the box door is directly opened to cause safety accidents. The operator drives the crane body 1 to slowly lift the hanging box 2, and at the same time the servo motor 9 rotates to slowly level the container. Then the operator moves the crane body 1 to the unloading position, and the servo motor 9 slowly rotates to tilt the container to the side where the box door is opened, and dumps the coal inside the container. During the whole process, the tilt angle of the container is controlled between 30° and 60°.

[0030] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The flat plate 12 is an iron piece, and an electromagnet 121 is installed at the bottom of the hanging box 2. When the electromagnet 121 is energized, the flat plate 12 is adsorbed to the bottom of the hanging box 2. During the hoisting process, when the container hoisting frame 11 and the flat plate 12 are close to the bottom of the hanging box 2, the electromagnet 121 opens and adsorbs the flat plate 12, reducing the pressure of the transmission belt 10 on the transmission wheel 7.

[0031] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3 to 6 A group of through holes 21 are set at the bottom of the hanging box 2, and a limit clamp 22 is installed in the through hole 21. The bottom of the limit clamp 22 protrudes out of the bottom of the hanging box 2. A group of jacking automatic release parts 23 are set on the flat plate 12, and the jacking automatic release parts 23 are directly below the limit clamp 22.

[0032] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The limit clamping member 22 includes a sleeve member 40 and a spring 42. A pair of limit through holes 41 are installed opposite to each other in the sleeve member 40. A spring 42 is installed in the limit through hole 41. A pin shaft 43 is installed in the spring 42. A slope support block 44 is installed at one end of the pin shaft 43 close to the jacking automatic release member 23. The slope support block 44 slides in the limit through hole 41. The slopes of the slope support blocks 44 are opposite to each other and the slopes are in an "eight" shape. A limit block 45 is installed at one end of the pin shaft 43 away from the jacking automatic release member 23. The jacking automatic release member 23 includes a truncated table 50, a sliding rod 51, an inverted truncated table ring 52 and a limit table 53. One end of the sliding rod 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the truncated table 50. An inverted truncated table ring 52 is arranged on the sliding rod 51. The inverted truncated table ring 52 slides on the sliding rod 51. The other end of the sliding rod 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the truncated table 50.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6During the lifting process, the linear motion drive device 4 is extended, and the lifting frame 11 and the flat plate 12 gradually approach the bottom of the lifting box 2. The extension length of the linear motion drive device 4 is controlled according to the program setting so that the truncated table 50 first enters the sleeve member 40 and is above the slope shoulder block 44. The linear motion drive device 4 then retracts 5-10 cm, so that part of the weight of the container lifting frame 11, the flat plate 12 and the container is borne by the slope shoulder block 44, reducing the pressure of the transmission belt 10 on the transmission wheel 7 and increasing the service life of the transmission belt 10 and the transmission wheel 7. If loading and unloading work is required, it is only necessary to continue to extend the linear motion drive device 4, and the slope shoulder block 44 fits the inverted truncated table ring 52 and contacts the bottom, and then retract the linear motion drive device 4 so that the jacking automatic release member 23 is separated from the limit clamping member 22 for loading and unloading work.
