Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the manufacturing technology of trolleys for port machinery, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a trolley for a semi-circular arc girder quay crane. Background Technology
[0002] The semi-circular arc beam quay crane is a new type of quay container crane designed to address the load-bearing capacity issues of inland river terminals. It utilizes the low drag coefficient and lightweight structure of its circular arc cross-section to reduce wheel pressure at the terminal. For example... Figure 1 As shown, since the main beam structure 4 on the semi-circular arc beam quay bridge has a semi-circular arc cross section, its running trolley structure is more compact than that of the conventional double box girder running trolley, and it is a large-angle inclined suspension beam 3. The self-driven motor 1 drives the wheels and the running track 2 to run upside down on the bottom surface of the arc beam of the main beam structure 4.
[0003] Container hoisting is achieved through a trolley. During operation, the trolley must withstand frequent, rapid, and high-load conditions, placing higher demands on the manufacturing precision of its structure. Because the trolley's suspension beam is a large-angle inclined structure, and the four sets of wheels connected to it are arranged horizontally in space, controlling the manufacturing and assembly of this narrow beam, as well as the coaxiality and parallelism of the wheel holes, within acceptable limits during manufacturing, assembly, and transportation is crucial. Therefore, a reasonable construction control method needs to be designed to meet the final operational functions of the arc-beam trolley. Summary of the Invention

[0042] To better understand the above-mentioned technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0043] This invention provides a method for preparing a running trolley for a semi-circular arc girder quay crane:
[0044] The trolley is divided into three parts: upper structure 100, middle structure 200 (tilted suspension beam), and lower structure 300. Figure 2 As shown. Among them, the upper structure 100 and the lower structure 300 are further divided into the trolley drive support 400, the lifting pulley beam assembly 500, and the sea-land side connecting beam assembly 600 according to the product's functional characteristics and convenience. They are manufactured separately and through pre-expansion shrinkage, machining allowance, setting multiple welding sequences, opening process holes in narrow boxes, and pre-positioning and installing auxiliary pre-welded parts and checking and controlling the accuracy of dimensions, the trolley is finally assembled into shape using the same benchmark and an integrated forward assembly method. This can effectively reduce the extra workload caused by dimensional deviations at high altitudes, and reduce construction difficulty and safety risks.
[0045] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the detachable adjustable support includes a horizontal support tube 10, an insert plate 20, and a positioning base plate 30.
[0046] After the main structure of the trolley is formed, the positioning base plate 30 is welded to the lower opening of the web of the pulley beams on both sides of the upper structure 100, and 4*M20 threaded through holes are pre-drilled on the positioning base plate 30.
[0047] The intermediate structure 200 is connected by pipes, which is lighter and has higher bending resistance than I-beam structures. The horizontal support pipe 10 has slots at both ends to install the insert plate 20, and then welds it to the waist-shaped pad 40 to form a component.
[0048] The two ends of the horizontal support tube 10 adopt a fan-shaped cross section, which is aesthetically pleasing and reduces stress concentration. It is sealed by the fan-shaped gasket 50, which not only solves the problem that the inside of the horizontal support tube 10 cannot be painted and is prone to corrosion, but also makes the sealed cross section more reliable in terms of stability than the open cross section and less prone to instability and deformation.
[0049] The horizontal support pipe 10 is hoisted into the interior of the running trolley using the lifting lug 60, and the waist-shaped pad 40 is connected and fixed to the positioning base plate 30 using M20 bolts 70. The waist-shaped pad 40 is provided with elongated waist-shaped bolt holes to adjust for dimensional deviations in the height direction, facilitating quick positioning and installation onto the positioning base plate 30.
[0050] The opening dimensions at both ends of the horizontal support tube 10 are adjusted according to the opening of the upper structure using adjusting shims 80 of different thicknesses. The entire support can effectively control the opening dimensions of the upper structure and avoid deformation problems of the trolley during transportation and hoisting.
[0051] Example
[0052] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a running trolley for a semi-circular arc girder quay crane, specifically including:
[0053] I. Requirements for the creation of each module component:
[0054] 1. Requirements for the fabrication and processing of the trolley wheel drive support:
[0055] (1) When cutting the wheel main plate 24 in the upper structure of the trolley, the inner hole needs to be (φB5+14)mm, the wheel clamp 25 should have a 25mm allowance in the thickness direction, the outer diameter should be (φB5+20)mm, and the inner diameter should be (φB3-30)mm. The allowance will not be processed for the time being. Figure 5 As shown;
[0056] (2) When cutting the upper and lower bearing housings, allowances are left for machining the external dimensions to meet the blueprint requirements. Allowances are left for the internal holes and machining is not performed initially. The upper and lower bearing housings are fitted together, and the φD1 through hole in the upper bearing housing and the 2-M(D2) threaded hole in the lower bearing housing are drilled. Then, they are connected with process bolts. The bearing housing connecting assembly is fixed to the adjusting shim and sent to the machine shop for machining of the 4-A*B oblong holes (see...). Figure 6 (As shown), after completion, install it onto the upper structure of the trolley according to the drawing requirements;
[0057] (3) Machining the inner diameter allowance of the wheel main plate 24, machining the inner diameter to (φB5+24)mm, to facilitate the subsequent installation of the wheel clamp 25, and then machining the slope and bevel according to the drawing requirements.
[0058] (4) When marking the trolley frame, weld the wheel clamp 25 to the trolley frame. During the welding process, pay attention to ensure its verticality requirements. After assembling the wheel, weld the bearing seat assembly I to the trolley frame as required, and then install the bearing seat assembly I to the trolley frame using process bolts.
[0059] (5) After the clamp welding is completed and passes the flaw detection, according to... Figure 5 In (a), trim and grind the excess material as needed, leaving a 10-15mm allowance at the root of the trimmed area. Simultaneously, trim and grind the grooves of the wheel main plate 24 and wheel clamp 25, leaving a 5mm machining allowance on each side of the groove to be machined together with the wheel hole during overall machining (see...). Figure 5 (As shown).
[0060] 2. Requirements for the fabrication and processing of lifting pulley beams:
[0061] (1) When cutting the pulley main plate 31 in the trolley frame, the inner hole and plate thickness have machining allowances and are not machined for the time being. The pulley main plate 31, stiffening plates 32 and 33 are made into lifting pulley support assembly I, the inner pulley support beams 34, 35, 36, and 37 are made into lifting pulley beam assembly II, and the outer pulley support beams 34, 36, 38, and 39 are made into lifting pulley beam assembly III. The lifting pulley beam assemblies I to III and the wheel main plate are assembled into lifting pulley beam according to the dimensions in the drawing (see drawing). Figure 7 (as shown);
[0062] (2) When marking the trolley frame, weld the lifting pulley beam assembly I to the trolley frame according to the drawing requirements. Pay attention to ensuring the alignment requirements and ensure its verticality during the welding process.
[0063] (3) When the trolley frame is scribing for the second time, scribing out the machining line of the φD1 shaft hole, the inspection line and the cross center line of the 4-M(D2) thread hole on the pulley main board 1, and scribing out the plane machining area of the pulley main board 1 according to the blueprint requirements.
[0064] (4) Boring the φD1 shaft hole, drilling the M(D2) threaded hole, machining the D3 notch, paying attention to the smooth transition of the arc at Q, and machining the pulley main plate 1 plane so that its opening size meets the drawing requirements.
[0065] 3. Requirements for the fabrication and processing of the lower structure:
[0066] (1) The lower structural beams are prefabricated into box-shaped structures according to the drawings. The straightness and twist of the beams are checked to be less than 3mm. A 50mm allowance is left at both ends for trimming and straightening during assembly.
[0067] (2) To facilitate the welding of the internal partition and the bottom plate of the beam, process holes need to be opened on the inner web of the sea-land side beam (3 to 4 holes / unit); after the internal partition is welded and inspected and qualified, the holes are sealed with the original cutting sealing plate. The sealing plate weld is a single-sided bevel backing weld. After welding, it is ground flat and smooth, and 100% UT+100% MT test is performed.
[0068] (3) After the cab hanger is made, mark the cross lines of the cab hanger holes and cut the holes on the rectangular tube 46 to the requirements of the drawing. The cut-off areas need to be polished smooth.
[0069] (4) Process φd2 of the weight 47 according to the drawing requirements, and process a sink trough with a depth of A and a diameter of φd1;
[0070] (5) Mark the installation position line of the weight 47 according to the dimensions in the drawing, weld it onto the rectangular tube 46, and mark and drill the bolt hole 4-φd3. Note that the allowable deviation of the misalignment between the weight 47 and the hole on the rectangular tube 46 should be within 3-5mm (see drawing). Figure 8 (As shown).
[0071] II. Requirements for integrated assembly and marking of each module:
[0072] 1. Assemble the running trolley:
[0073] (1) Place the lower structure on the frame and adjust its level to ensure that the level is within 2mm. Draw the installation position lines of the four sets of middle structures (inclined suspension beams) based on the left and right opening dimensions L1 and the sea and land opening dimensions L2.
[0074] (2) Arrange the pre-designed and manufactured modular construction platform at the corresponding work station to facilitate subsequent measurement, adjustment and welding of the middle and upper structures;
[0075] (3) Using the workshop crane, the prefabricated middle structure (inclined suspension beam) is hoisted to the upper plane of the lower structure, its opening and vertical line are adjusted, and a laser measuring instrument is set up to measure the horizontal level of the upper end of the four middle structures. The height of the suspension beam is corrected to ensure that H1 = H2. After the dimensions are qualified, the lower end is welded to the lower structure for fixation.
[0076] (4) Assemble the superstructure and inclined suspension beam according to the drawings. Using the horizontal reference point of the main wheel plate of the superstructure as a reference, adjust the height and opening size of the superstructure and suspension beam. After adjustment, perform tack welding, paying attention to pre-allowing a welding shrinkage allowance of 6-8mm. The difference between H1 and H2 should be ≤3mm, the upper opening of L1 should be 4-8mm smaller than the lower opening, the diagonal should be controlled within ±5mm, and |L5-L6| should be within 5 (see...). Figure 9 (as shown);
[0077] (5) After the pre-assembly dimensions are inspected and approved, install detachable adjustable supports and anti-overturning process supports to fix the openings of the left and right upper structures and prevent the upper structure from overturning. Assemble and weld the entire trolley frame to ensure that the relevant dimensions of the wheel support plate meet the requirements after welding. If they do not meet the requirements, they need to be adjusted according to the actual situation on site to ensure the dimensional requirements.
[0078] 2. Marking and machining of the running trolley:
[0079] (1) The main welding work needs to be completed for the overall trolley structure.
[0080] a. All the Kama fixtures at the contact points between the trolley structure and the tire frame must be removed, leaving the entire structure in a completely free and unattended state;
[0081] b. Adjust the entire trolley to a horizontal position, maintaining rigid contact with the tire frame; do not use sleepers as padding.
[0082] c. Inspect and remove any components around the trolley that may obstruct the marking process;

[0084] (2) Set up the laser theodolite in the middle of the trolley frame, and make sure it is higher than the upper plane of the trolley frame. Adjust the laser level and use the root of the intersection of the four wheel support plates and the center of the main beam as the reference to remeasure the level of the entire trolley frame. Measure and adjust the level to the best state to ensure that the reference points are on the same horizontal plane.
[0085] (3) Draw the center line, diagonal line and wheel height center line of the trolley with the horizontal point as the reference. Divide the thickness of the four sets of wheel support plates into the center. With the center line point of the thickness direction of the trolley wheel support plate as the reference, use a calibrated tape measure and laser theodolite to measure the track gauge, wheel width and diagonal dimensions of the trolley frame wheel and mark the sample punch.
[0086] (4) Using the punch point as a reference, mark the machining and inspection lines for the inner hole, groove, and inner countersunk groove of the wheel clamp 25, as well as the center line and machining allowance line for the lifting pulley shaft hole and the wheel bearing housing assembly hole. The bearing housing assembly needs to be removed separately and sent to the machining workshop to machine the shaft hole and inner ring groove, and then installed in place when the trolley mechanism is assembled.
[0087] (5) The machining inspection line with the scraped surface dimension should be led to a place outside the scraped surface to facilitate re-measurement and verification of whether the machining dimension is qualified after boring;
