Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention specifically relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a gantry crane with a track changing function. Background Art
[0002] A gantry crane, also known as a portal crane or gantry crane, is a variation of a bridge crane. It boasts high site utilization, a large operating range, wide adaptability, and strong versatility. It can be customized to suit various work environments and cargo lifting requirements. Through the operation of the trolley mechanism and the lifting trolley, as well as the lifting and lowering of the hoisting mechanism, the crane can lift cargo within a rectangular space. The driver operates the controller in the cab, controlling the motors of the various mechanisms to achieve the lifting, lowering, lateral, and longitudinal movement of the cargo.
[0003] However, in practice, in some large work sites, such as large ports, freight yards or factory workshops, cargo is widely distributed in different areas. Since the gantry crane relies on the bottom track to move, the working range of the crane will be limited by the distance of the track, and it is impossible to lift and transport cargo in different areas, which leads to limited cargo transportation. In addition, the crane needs to be towed when changing tracks, and the inertia generated by the towing makes it difficult to stop, and it is impossible to stop quickly. It is easy to collide with the track, causing damage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a gantry crane with a track-changing function. A lifting mechanism is installed on both sides of the gantry crane. A hydraulic lever pushes the wheel mechanisms at the ends toward the ground, lifting the entire gantry crane.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, one end of the limiting movable rod is fixedly connected to the movable shaft seat, and the other end passes through the movable pull plate and is threadedly connected to a locking bolt. The auxiliary compression spring is located between the movable shaft seat and the movable pull plate, and a compression main spring is also fixedly connected between the movable shaft seat and the movable pull plate.
[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the hydraulic cylinder is located inside the extension bracket, and the movable shaft seat is movably connected to one end of the extension bracket away from the triangular shaft frame, and the triangular shaft frame is fixedly connected to the side of the supporting column.
[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the track-changing auxiliary wheel includes a flip frame movably connected to the end of the extension bracket, the bottom of the flip frame is movably connected to the wheel frame through a pin shaft, and each of the wheel frames is movably connected to the rail wheels at both ends.
[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a sliding frame is movably connected above the top frame, both ends of the sliding frame are transmission-matched with rack rods, and the bottom of the rack rods is fixedly connected to a workpiece lifting frame.
[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a brake is further installed on the side of the auxiliary lifting frame, and the brake includes a brake disc arranged coaxially with the rail wheel, and the brake disc is fixedly connected to the end of the rail wheel; The brake also includes a fixing seat fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame, and a brake seat is provided between the fixing seat and the brake disc, and a limit rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the brake seat close to the fixing seat.
[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a deceleration spring is sleeved on the outer side of the limit rod, and the deceleration spring is located between the fixed seat and the brake seat, and the end of the limit rod away from the brake seat passes through the fixed seat.
[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a mounting groove is also provided in the fixing seat, and a guide concave wheel is movably connected in the mounting groove. A steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the side of the brake seat, and the other end of the steel wire rope bypasses the guide concave wheel in the mounting groove and extends to a side away from the fixing seat.

After mutual cooperation, the support column can be lifted up as a whole. The track-changing auxiliary wheels are used to change the track of the entire gantry crane, thereby increasing the range of movement of the gantry crane. In the present invention, since the extension bracket is arranged in a U-shape as a whole and the hydraulic cylinder is located on the inner side of the extension bracket, when the connection between the extension bracket and the hydraulic cylinder passes the dead point position, the gantry crane can be stably lifted. Moreover, this structure can be stored without changing the track, thereby not affecting the normal movement of both sides of the gantry crane. In the present invention, the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder can push the movable pull plate to slide outside the limiting movable rod, thereby compressing the compression main spring between the movable pull plate and the movable shaft seat, thereby improving the shock absorption effect during the movement. In addition, the cooperation between the movable pull plate and the limiting movable rod can help the connection between the hydraulic cylinder and the extension bracket to pass the dead point position. The present invention connects the end of the wire rope to a traction vehicle. When the traction vehicle tows the crane, the wire rope is pulled to move. After being guided by the guide cam, the wire rope pulls the brake seat to the side away from the brake disc, thereby enabling it to move normally. When the traction vehicle stops, the deceleration spring pushes the brake seat to fit the side of the brake disc. Since the brake disc is coaxially arranged with the rail wheel, the rail wheel can be quickly stopped by friction, preventing the inertia generated during traction from causing the crane to be unable to stop.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] See also Figure 1-8 An embodiment of the present invention provides a gantry crane with a track change function, comprising a top frame 1, a support column 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top frame 1 in a rectangular array, a track wheel set 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 5 in a rectangular array, and an auxiliary lifting frame 8 movably connected to the end of the support column 5 away from the top frame 1, and a track change auxiliary wheel 7 movably connected to the other end of the auxiliary lifting frame 8; Among them, the auxiliary lifting frame 8 includes an extension bracket 82 with a U-shaped arrangement, one end of the extension bracket 82 is movably connected to a triangular axis frame 81, and the triangular axis frame 81 is fixedly connected to the side of the support column 5, and a hydraulic lifting rod 9 is also placed on the inner side of the extension bracket 82.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension bracket 82 is pushed to flip downward by the output rod of the hydraulic lifting rod 9, so that the track-changing auxiliary wheel 7 at the end of the extension bracket 82 contacts the ground. After mutual cooperation, the supporting column 5 can be lifted up as a whole, and the track-changing auxiliary wheel 7 is used to change the track of the gantry crane as a whole, thereby increasing the range of movement of the gantry crane.
[0028] Furthermore, the hydraulic lifting rod 9 includes a hydraulic cylinder 91, one end of the hydraulic cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a pin shaft seat 92, and the side of the triangular shaft frame 81 away from the extension bracket 82 is fixedly connected to a staggered shaft rod 83, and the staggered shaft rod 83 passes through the pin shaft seat 92 and is movably connected to the staggered shaft rod 83.
[0029] To be more specific, a movable pull plate 94 fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic cylinder 91 is provided between the end of the hydraulic cylinder 91 away from the pin shaft seat 92 and the movable shaft seat 93, and a rectangular array of movable connection limiting movable rods 95 are provided in the movable pull plate 94, and an auxiliary compression spring 96 is sleeved on the outside of each of the limiting movable rods 95.
[0030] Furthermore, one end of the limiting movable rod 95 is fixedly connected to the movable shaft seat 93, and the other end passes through the movable pull plate 94 and is threadedly connected to a locking bolt. The auxiliary compression spring 96 is located between the movable shaft seat 93 and the movable pull plate 94, and a compression main spring 97 is also fixedly connected between the movable shaft seat 93 and the movable pull plate 94.
[0031] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 91 is located inside the extension bracket 82 , and the movable shaft seat 93 is movably connected to one end of the extension bracket 82 away from the triangular shaft bracket 81 , and the triangular shaft bracket 81 is fixedly connected to the side of the support column 5 .
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, since the extension bracket 82 is arranged in a U-shape as a whole and the hydraulic cylinder 91 is located on the inner side of the extension bracket 82, when the connection between the extension bracket 82 and the hydraulic cylinder 91 passes the dead point position, the gantry crane can be stably lifted, and the structure can be stored without changing the track, thereby not affecting the normal movement of the two sides of the gantry crane.
[0033] Furthermore, the track-changing auxiliary wheel 7 includes a flip frame 71 movably connected to the end of the extension bracket 82, the bottom of the flip frame 71 is movably connected to the wheel frame 72 through a pin, and each of the wheel frames 72 is movably connected to a rail wheel 73 at both ends.
[0034] Furthermore, a sliding frame 2 is movably connected to the top of the top frame 1, and both ends of the sliding frame 2 are transmission-matched with rack rods 4, and the bottom of the rack rod 4 is fixedly connected to a workpiece lifting frame 3.
[0035] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 91 can push the movable pull plate 94 to slide on the outside of the limiting movable rod 95, thereby compressing the compression main spring 97 between the movable pull plate 94 and the movable shaft seat 93, thereby improving the shock absorption effect during the movement process. Moreover, through the mutual cooperation between the movable pull plate 94 and the limiting movable rod 95, the connection between the hydraulic cylinder 91 and the extension bracket 82 can be helped to pass the dead point position.
[0036] A brake 10 is also installed on the side of the auxiliary lifting frame 8. The brake 10 includes a brake disc 101 coaxially arranged with the rail wheel 73, and the brake disc 101 is fixedly connected to the end of the rail wheel 73; The brake 10 further includes a fixing seat 102 fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame 72 , and a brake seat 103 is provided between the fixing seat 102 and the brake disc 101 , and a limit rod 104 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the brake seat 103 close to the fixing seat 102 .

[0038] The fixing seat 102 is also provided with a mounting groove, and a guide concave wheel 106 is movably connected in the mounting groove. The side of the brake seat 103 is fixedly connected with a steel wire rope, and the other end of the steel wire rope passes around the guide concave wheel 106 in the mounting groove and extends to a side away from the fixing seat 102.
[0039] During daily use, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection, maintenance and care of various components, especially the springs. When the springs undergo elastic fatigue or elastic deformation and are insufficient to achieve the locking function, they need to be replaced in time.
[0040] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, first the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 91 pushes the extension bracket 82 to flip outward with the triangular axis frame 81 as the axis. When the connection between the hydraulic cylinder 91 and the extension bracket 82 passes the dead point position, the output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 91 contracts inward. At this time, the end of the extension bracket 82 will continue to move downward, so that the bottom of the track-changing auxiliary wheel 7 will contact the ground, and then the auxiliary lifting frame 8 and the hydraulic lifting rod 9 will cooperate with each other to lift the top frame 1 and the supporting column 5 from the track. Then, the traction rope is used to connect the tractor to the crane, and the end of the wire rope is connected to the tractor. When the traction vehicle pulls the crane, The steel wire rope is pulled to move, and after being guided by the guide cam 106, the steel wire rope pulls the brake seat 103 to the side away from the brake disc 101, so that it can move normally. When the traction vehicle stops, the deceleration spring 105 will push the brake seat 103 to fit the side of the brake disc 101. Since the brake disc 101 is coaxially arranged with the rail wheel 73, the friction force is used to stop the crane quickly to prevent the inertia generated during traction from causing a collision. The gantry crane is moved as a whole until it moves above another track. Finally, the extension bracket 82 is stored through the hydraulic lifting rod 9. It has a simple structure, is very convenient to operate, and effectively reduces the labor intensity.
