AI Technical Summary
When the tracks of existing cranes are uneven, the walking wheels are prone to suspend in the air, resulting in unbalanced stress, which may cause rail gnawing and damage the walking motor.
A centralized bearing for adjusting crane trolley and end beam is designed, including a circular ring-shaped support inner ring, a support outer ring arranged on the outside and an eccentric support ring. Through the coordination of the inner ball and the outer ball, the eccentric support ring rotates when the track is uneven, adjusting the position of the walking wheel to avoid hanging.
It effectively avoids the hanging phenomenon of the walking wheel when the track is uneven, ensures that the walking wheel always contacts the track, and avoids the risk of overload and damage to the track and motor.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cranes, and in particular relates to a self-aligning bearing for adjusting a crane trolley and an end beam. Background Art
[0002] A crane refers to a multi-action lifting machinery that can lift heavy objects vertically and carry them horizontally within a certain range; it is also called an overhead crane, an overhead crane, or a hoist. Some lifting equipment has the working characteristic of intermittent motion, that is, the corresponding mechanisms for taking materials, moving, unloading, etc. work alternately in one working cycle. The development and use of cranes in the market are becoming more and more extensive. Cranes generally include a main beam, an end beam, outriggers, a trolley traveling mechanism, a car traveling mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The trolley traveling mechanism of a bridge crane is installed at both ends of the end beam 7, and the car traveling mechanism is assembled on the trolley. The trolley traveling mechanism and the car traveling mechanism They all include a driving wheel 71, a driven wheel 72 and a travel motor 73. The travel motor 73 drives the driving wheel 71 to rotate, and the driven wheel 72 follows the end beam 7 or the lifting trolley to rotate freely along the track. However, in the prior art, due to the uneven travel track, a wheel may be suspended in the air. In severe cases, the crane travel wheel may gnaw the track, causing the travel motor to be overloaded and damaged. During the design and use of the crane, it should be avoided as much as possible to avoid the travel wheel being suspended in the travel process. Therefore, in the prior art, when the crane travel wheel is on an uneven track, it is easy for the wheel to be suspended in the air, resulting in unbalanced force and then gnawing the track. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the technical problem that the traveling wheels are easily suspended due to the uneven track during the use of the existing crane, the present invention provides a self-aligning bearing for adjusting the crane trolley and the end beam, including a bearing body, the bearing body including a supporting inner ring in a circular ring shape, and also including a supporting outer ring arranged on the outside of the supporting inner ring, an eccentric supporting ring is arranged between the supporting outer ring and the supporting inner ring, an inner ball is arranged between the inner side of the eccentric supporting ring and the outer side of the inner supporting ring, and an outer ball is arranged between the outer side of the eccentric supporting ring and the inner side of the outer supporting ring. During use, when the track is uneven, such as when the horizontal plane of the track is lowered, the protrusion of the eccentric supporting ring rotates downward, and at this time the lowest point of the traveling wheel moves down and contacts the track. Similarly, when the horizontal plane of the track is raised, the protrusion of the eccentric supporting ring rotates upward, and the traveling wheel moves up.
[0004] Preferably, the inner side of the eccentric support ring is in a circular ring shape, and the outer side of the eccentric support ring is in an eccentric arc shape.
[0005] Preferably, the ball diameter of the outer ball is larger than the ball diameter of the inner ball.
[0006] Preferably, a keyway (not shown in the drawings of the specification) is provided on the inner side of the inner support ring for facilitating connection with the support shaft.
[0007] The above solution has the following advantages: The outer support ring, inner support ring and eccentric support ring are set up. When in use, when the track is uneven, such as when the track level is lowered, the protrusion of the eccentric support ring rotates downward around the inner support ring. At this time, the lowest point of the walking wheel moves down and contacts the track. Similarly, when the track level rises, the protrusion of the eccentric support ring rotates upward around the inner support ring, and the walking wheel moves up, avoiding the walking wheel from being suspended when the track is uneven.

[0010] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a self-aligning bearing for adjusting a crane trolley and an end beam comprises a bearing body 1, wherein the bearing body 1 comprises an annular supporting inner ring 2, and also comprises an outer supporting ring 3 arranged on the outside of the supporting inner ring 2, an eccentric supporting ring 4 is arranged between the supporting outer ring 3 and the supporting inner ring 2, an inner ball 5 is arranged between the inner side of the eccentric supporting ring 4 and the outer side of the inner supporting ring 2, and an outer ball 6 is arranged between the outer side of the eccentric supporting ring 4 and the inner side of the outer supporting ring 3. When in use, when the track is uneven, such as when the track level is lowered, the protrusion of the eccentric supporting ring 4 rotates downward, and at this time the lowest point of the running wheel moves downward and contacts the track, and similarly, when the track level is raised, the protrusion of the eccentric supporting ring 4 rotates upward, and the running wheel moves upward.
[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the eccentric support ring 4 is in a circular ring shape, and the outer side of the eccentric support ring 4 is in an eccentric arc shape.

[0014] Usage process: When the present invention is in use, when the track is uneven, such as when the track level is lowered, the protrusion of the eccentric support ring 4 rotates downward around the inner support ring 2, and the lowest point of the running wheel moves down and contacts the track. Similarly, when the track level is raised, the protrusion of the eccentric support ring 4 rotates upward around the inner support ring 2, and the running wheel moves up, avoiding the running wheel from being suspended when the track is uneven.
