They are commonly used in bridges, ships, construction machinery, heavy equipment, and other fields. Characterized by their large size and strong load-bearing capacity, they require customized design and manufacturing based on project requirements. The quality of welding directly impacts the safety and reliability of the structure, often requiring rigorous strength calculations, process planning, and non-destructive testing to ensure stable operation under complex working conditions.

[0003] After welding, most large welded structural parts need to be transported to heat treatment, shot blasting, painting and other processes.

The inner wall of the elongated hole 13 is slidably connected with the connecting block 14. The connecting block 14 can slide flexibly in the elongated hole 13 to transmit power and connect. The bottom ends of the two connecting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 15. The limiting plate 15 is used to limit the position of the height-adjustable flatbed trolley 12. The adjacent side of the two limiting plates 15 contacts the top surface of the height-adjustable flatbed trolley 12 to ensure that the position of the flatbed trolley is stable during the transportation of the gantry.

The driving end of the motor 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 19. When the motor 20 is running, it drives the bidirectional threaded rod 19 to rotate, thereby driving the entire drive assembly to operate.

[0028] The working principle of a gantry suitable for supporting large-scale welded structural parts provided by the present invention is as follows: when transporting large-scale welded structural parts, it is first necessary to use a lifting crane to lift the large-scale welded structural parts into the C-shaped groove 6 on the support frame 5 of the gantry, and contact the gravity sensor 7 to monitor the weight of the large-scale welded structural parts in real time, providing data reference for the safety of the transportation operation. When carrying out the transportation operation of supporting large-scale welded structural parts, the structural parts are first lifted to the gantry by the lifting crane. At this time, the linear projection lamp 10 is started and two parallel straight lines are projected to the ground. These two straight lines are equivalent to the guiding boundaries of the gantry entrance. The height-adjustable flatbed truck 12 needs to travel along the channel between the straight lines, and use the clear guidance of the straight lines to avoid the flatbed truck from deviating from the direction when driving; at the same time, the center laser light 11 is turned on synchronously to project a precise center light downward. The light corresponds to the center position of the gantry, and the flatbed truck driver The machine uses the central light as a reference to adjust the vehicle's trajectory, and then starts the motor 20. The operation of the motor 20 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 19 to rotate. Since the inner walls of the other two sliding blocks 17 are threadedly connected to the outer sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 19, under the action of the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 19, the two sliding blocks 17 begin to slide on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 16. At the same time, the inner walls of the two sliding blocks 17 are slidably connected to the guide rod 18. The guide rod 18 guides and stabilizes the sliding of the sliding blocks 17. As the sliding blocks 17 slide, the connecting blocks 14 are driven to slide on the inner walls of the long holes 13, thereby moving the limiting plate 15 to limit the travel route of the height-adjustable flatbed trolley 12, and assisting the flatbed trolley to move along the straight line area projected by the linear projection lamp 10 and toward the center position corresponding to the central laser lamp 11, to ensure that the flatbed trolley can accurately pass under the gantry and smoothly reach the bottom of the gantry.

[0029] After the flatbed trolley is in place, operate the height-adjustable flatbed trolley 12 so that its top end gradually rises and contacts the bottom end of the support frame 5, and continue to adjust the height of the flatbed trolley until the base 1 of the gantry is 200 mm off the ground. At this time, the gantry is lifted up by the flatbed trolley and is in a transportable state. Then the motor 20 is driven again, so that the two limit plates 15 continue to move, clamping the top surface of the adjustable flatbed trolley to ensure a stable connection between the car and the gantry.
