Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of quay crane technology, and more specifically, to a quay crane structure. Background Technology

[0002] A quay crane, also known as a shore-based container crane, is a device used to load and unload containers from container ships at the quayside. To improve terminal loading and unloading efficiency, multiple quay cranes typically operate side-by-side, loading and unloading containers simultaneously. A conventional quay crane has a set of main beams. Due to the width limitation of a single quay crane, quay cranes operating side-by-side can usually only handle one container at a time. This means that between containers being loaded and unloaded by two adjacent quay cranes, there is often an unloaded container, preventing adjacent quay crane operations. The cranes must wait until the container at their current location is unloaded before moving to the adjacent location to handle the unloaded container. This results in low operational efficiency and longer berthing times for container ships at the terminal, impacting the berthing of other vessels.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a structure with at least two sets of main beams has been proposed in the field of quay cranes. This allows at least two sets of main beams on a single quay crane to correspond to at least two rows of containers in adjacent containers, thereby improving the loading and unloading of containers. However, the inventors have discovered that because there are at least two sets of main beams in the quay crane, the quay crane experiences uneven stress on the left and right sides during container loading and unloading, which can easily lead to tilting.

[0058] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the quay crane structure 10 during operation, as provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the quay bridge structure 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the A-side structure of the quay crane structure 10. Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of the quay crane structure 10 provided in this embodiment. Please refer to the diagram for further details. Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a quay crane structure 10, which includes a portal frame structure 100 and a main beam structure 200. The portal frame structure 100 has a left-right direction (e.g., Figure 3 (CD direction in the middle) and sea-land direction (such as...) Figure 2 (in the AB direction), the main beam structure 200 is installed on the door frame structure 100.

[0059] Specifically, the portal frame structure 100 has multiple columns 133, as well as sea-side and land-side crossbeams. The two ends of the sea-side crossbeams are fixedly connected to two adjacent columns 133, forming a sea-side portal frame 110. The columns 133 included in the sea-side portal frame 110 can also be referred to as sea-side columns 114. The two ends of the land-side crossbeams are fixedly connected to two adjacent columns 133, forming a land-side portal frame 120. The columns 133 included in the land-side portal frame 120 can also be referred to as land-side columns. The sea-side portal frame 110 and the land-side portal frame 120 are distributed at intervals along the coastal and landward directions, and are connected by connecting beams 170, thus forming a four-corner frame structure.

[0060] The main beam structure 200 is mounted on the portal frame structure 100 and extends in the coastal direction. The main beam structure 200 has at least two main beam assemblies distributed in the left-right direction, each of which is used for loading and unloading operations. In this embodiment, there are two main beam assemblies: a first main beam assembly 215 and a second main beam assembly 216. The first main beam assembly 215 includes a pair of first main beams 211 and second main beams 212. The loading and unloading of containers 20 can be achieved through the joint operation of the first main beams 211 and second main beams 212. The main beam assembly also includes a third main beam 213 and a fourth main beam 214 arranged opposite each other. The loading and unloading of another train of containers 20 can be achieved through the joint operation of the third main beam 213 and fourth main beam 214. Therefore, the quay crane structure 10 provided in this embodiment has four main beams. It is understood that in some other embodiments, the number of main beam assemblies can be set according to requirements, for example, three main beam assemblies can be set, resulting in six main beams in the quay crane structure 10.

[0061] The seaside crossbeam includes a seaside upper crossbeam 111, with both ends of the upper crossbeam 111 fixedly connected to the upper ends of the seaside columns 114. The door frame structure 100 also includes a trapezoidal frame 140 and multiple first support tubes 143. The trapezoidal frame 140 is fixedly connected above the seaside upper crossbeam 111, and the multiple first support tubes 143 are connected to the trapezoidal frame 140 and the seaside upper crossbeam 111. The lower ends of the trapezoidal frame 140 are fixedly connected to both ends of the seaside upper crossbeam 111, thus forming a square frame structure between the seaside upper crossbeam 111 and the trapezoidal frame 140. The upper ends of the first support tubes 143 are respectively connected to node plates located at the middle positions of adjacent sides of the square frame structure, and two adjacent first support tubes 143 are connected to the same node plate. The multiple first support tubes 143 and the multiple node plates form a frame-like support structure.

[0062] Specifically, the trapezoidal frame 140 includes a trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141 and trapezoidal frame columns 142 connected to both ends of the trapezoidal frame 140. The upper end of the trapezoidal frame column 142 is fixedly connected to the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141, and the lower end of the trapezoidal frame column 142 is fixedly connected to the seaside upper crossbeam 111. Thus, the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141, the seaside upper crossbeam 111, and the two trapezoidal frame columns 142 are connected end to end to form a frame structure. A first node plate 151 is provided in the middle of the seaside upper crossbeam 111 and the middle of the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141, and a second node plate 153 is provided in the middle of the trapezoidal frame column 142. In this embodiment, there are four first support tubes 143, and the two ends of the first support tubes 143 are respectively connected to the first node plate 151 and the second node plate 153. Thus, the four first support tubes 143 form a frame-shaped support structure through the four node plates. This frame-shaped support structure is roughly rhomboid in shape.

[0063] Specifically, one end of the first node plate 151 on the sea-side upper crossbeam 111 is welded and fixed to the sea-side upper crossbeam 111, and the other end is engaged with the first support pipe 143. The web extension plate 159 on the sea-side upper crossbeam 111 is clamped on both sides of the first node plate 151. Similarly, one end of the first node plate 151 on the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141 is welded and fixed to the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141, and the other end is engaged with the first support pipe 143. The web extension plate 159 on the trapezoidal frame crossbeam 141 is clamped on both sides of the first node plate 151. Optionally, the first support pipe 143 is a round pipe.

[0064] Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the local structure from the C1 perspective. Figure 6 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure at point Q1-Q1. Figure 7 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure at point Q2-Q2. Please refer to the diagram. Figures 4-7 Furthermore, the connecting plane between the first support tube 143 and the first node plate 151 and the connecting plane between the first support tube 143 and the second node plate 153 are perpendicular to each other.

[0065] The first node plate 151 has a first connecting portion 152 that inserts into the first support tube 143. The mating plane between the first connecting portion 152 and the first support tube 143 is a first connecting plane, which extends in the land-sea direction, i.e., the first connecting plane is a plane parallel to the land-sea direction. Specifically, the first connecting portion 152 is a plate-shaped member, and the plane on which the plate surface of the first connecting portion 152 is located is the connecting plane (i.e., the first connecting plane) between the first support tube 143 and the first node plate 151. Since the first node plate 151 is fixedly connected to two first support tubes 143 at the same time, the first node plate 151 correspondingly has a first connecting portion 152 that connects and mates with the two first support tubes 143 respectively.

[0066] The second node plate 153 has a second connecting portion 156 that inserts into the first support tube 143. The mating plane between the second connecting portion 156 and the first support tube 143 is a second connecting plane, which extends in the left-right direction, i.e., the second connecting plane is a plane parallel to the left-right direction. Specifically, the second connecting portion 156 is a plate-shaped foot bone, and the plane on which the plate surface of the second connecting portion 156 is located is the connecting plane (i.e., the second connecting plane) between the first support tube 143 and the second node plate 153. Since the second node plate 153 is fixedly connected to both first support tubes 143 simultaneously, the second node plate 153 correspondingly has a second connecting portion 156 that connects and mates with both first support tubes 143 respectively.

[0067] Furthermore, the second node plate 153 includes a retaining plate 157 and a first plate portion 154 and a second plate portion 155 located on both sides of the retaining plate 157. The first plate portion 154 and the second plate portion 155 each have a second connecting portion 156, and the retaining plate 157 is fixedly connected to the first support tube 143. Specifically, the retaining plate 157 is arranged perpendicularly to the first plate portion 154 and the second plate portion 155, so that the second node plate 153 formed is approximately cross-shaped. The first support tube 143 is located on one side of the retaining plate 157 and is inserted into and engaged with the second connecting portion 156 on one side of the retaining plate 157, and is welded and fixed to the side of the retaining plate 157. In this embodiment, the second node plate 153 is formed by splicing and fixing a first plate portion 154, a second plate portion 155, and a clamping plate 157. One end of the first plate portion 154 is welded and fixed to the trapezoidal frame column 142, and the second connecting portion 156 at the other end is inserted into the first support tube 143 and welded and fixed to the first support tube 143. Similarly, one end of the second plate portion 155 is welded and fixed to the trapezoidal frame column 142, and the second connecting portion 156 at the other end is inserted into another first support tube 143 and welded and fixed to the first support tube 143. In this way, the first plate portion 154 and the second plate portion 155 achieve the welding and fixing of the two first support tubes 143. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the second node plate 153 can also be set as an integral structure.

[0068] Furthermore, a ring plate 158 is also provided on the trapezoidal frame column 142. The ring plate 158 is sleeved on the trapezoidal frame column 142 and clamped on the upper and lower sides of the second node plate 153. In other words, the first plate portion 154 and the second plate portion 155 are respectively clamped between the ring plate 158 and the clamping plate 157.

[0069] Figure 8 This diagram shows a partial structural schematic of the portal frame structure 100 in the quay crane structure 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A structural diagram along the E-direction. Please refer to the diagram. Figures 1-9 In this embodiment, the door frame structure 100 further includes a lower crossbeam 131, a column crossbeam 132, and a plurality of second support tubes 163. The lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132 are spaced apart vertically, and are connected between two columns 133 spaced apart in the left-right direction. The second support tubes 163 are disposed between the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132, and both ends of the second support tubes 163 are fixedly connected to node plates disposed on the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132, respectively. Two adjacent second support tubes 163 are connected to the same node plate and form a V-shaped structure. Optionally, the second support tubes 163 are circular tubes.

[0070] Specifically, the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132 located between two adjacent seaside columns 114 are respectively the seaside lower crossbeam 112 and the seaside column crossbeam 113. Multiple second support pipes 163 are installed between the seaside lower crossbeam 112 and the seaside column crossbeam 113. These second support pipes 163 are connected to multiple node plates, thereby improving the connection reliability between the seaside lower crossbeam 112 and the seaside column crossbeam 113, and thus enhancing the rigidity of the quay crane. Correspondingly, the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132 located between two adjacent landside columns are respectively the landside lower crossbeam and the landside column crossbeam. Multiple second support pipes 163 are installed between the landside lower crossbeam and the landside column crossbeam. These second support pipes 163 are connected to multiple node plates, thereby improving the connection reliability between the landside lower crossbeam and the landside column crossbeam, and thus enhancing the rigidity of the quay crane.

[0071] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second support tube 163 structure between the seaside lower crossbeam 112 and the seaside column crossbeam 113 is the same as the second support tube 163 structure between the landside lower crossbeam and the landside upper crossbeam, and will not be described separately in the following description.

[0072] In this embodiment, a third node plate 164 is provided in the middle of the column beam 132, and a fourth node plate 165 is provided at both ends of the column beam 132 where it connects to the column 133. Two fifth node plates 166 are provided on the lower beam 131 at intervals. The two ends of two of the second support tubes 163 are respectively inserted and fixed to the fourth node plate 165 and the fifth node plate 166, and the two ends of the other two of the second support tubes 163 are respectively inserted and fixed to the third node plate 164 and the fourth node plate 165.

[0073] Specifically, the fourth node plate 165 is located at the connection between the two ends of the column beam 132 and the column 133, and the fifth node plate 166 is located between the third node plate 164 and the fourth node plate 165 in the left-right direction. In this way, the four support tubes are connected by one third node plate 164, two fourth node plates 165 and two fifth node plates 166 to form a W-shaped support structure.

[0074] Optionally, the second support tube 163 between the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132 is arranged in a double layer along the landward direction. Specifically, at the same lower crossbeam 131 and column crossbeam 132, two W-shaped support structures are arranged on both sides of the lower crossbeam 131 and the column crossbeam 132 along the landward direction. These two support structures are the first support structure 161 and the second support structure 162, respectively. The second support tube 163 in the first support structure 161 and the second support structure 162 are arranged facing each other along the landward direction, thus making the second support tube 163 a double layer. This structural arrangement not only improves the lateral stiffness of the quay crane as a whole, but also helps to reduce the overall weight of the crane.

The two hinged components of the hinge point 223 can be fixedly connected to the front main beam 221 and the rear main beam 222 respectively through connecting flanges, thereby realizing the adhesive connection between the front main beam 221 and the rear main beam 222. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the front main beam 221 and the rear main beam 222 can also be configured as a structure with direct hinged engagement.

At the same time, a support tube 242 is connected to the figure-eight support 241, and the other end of the support tube 242 is fixedly connected to the upper crossbeam 111 on the sea side.

[0080] Specifically, the two ends of the figure-eight support 241 are fixedly connected to the rear beam 222 of the second main beam 212 and the rear beam 222 of the third main beam 213, respectively. At the same time, the two ends of the figure-eight support 241 are connected to the support tubes 242, that is, in this embodiment, two support tubes 242 are provided.

The other ends of the two support tubes 242 extend to the upper crossbeam 111 on the sea side, and the ends of the two support tubes 242 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the upper crossbeam 111 on the sea side. Thus, the two support tubes 242 are distributed in a figure-eight shape.

[0081] Furthermore, the main beam structure 200 also includes a main beam tail beam 251, through which the tail ends of the rear main beams 222 of the four main beams are connected.

[0088] Furthermore, such as Figure 17 As shown, since the first main beam assembly 215 and the second main beam assembly 216 each include a portion of the intermediate main beam 219, a third connecting truss 233 is provided between the front main beam 221 of the left main beam 217 and the front main beam 221 of the intermediate main beam 219, and a fourth connecting truss 234 is provided between the front main beam 221 of the right main beam 218 and the front main beam 221 of the intermediate main beam 219.

Specifically, the rear tie rod 262 includes a rear side tie rod 265 and a rear middle tie rod 266. The rear main beam 222 of the left main beam 217 and the rear main beam 222 of the right main beam 218 are connected by the rear side tie rod 265, which has a circular cross-section. The rear main beam 222 of the middle main beam 219 is connected by the rear middle tie rod 266, which has a box-shaped structure.

At the same time, by setting the support structure in the portal frame structure 100 and the main beam structure 200, the lateral stiffness of the quay crane is improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the quay crane structure 10.
