Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lifting equipment, and more specifically, to a gantry crane for railway loading and unloading and a construction method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of steel structure bridge construction, in-service bridges have begun to show defects such as coating deterioration, steel plate corrosion, and weld cracking, resulting in reduced durability, shortened service life, and excessively high maintenance costs. Therefore, strengthening the maintenance and management of bridges during their operation period has become an urgent problem to be solved for steel structure bridges.
[0003] Currently, the replacement of steel structure bridges mainly involves using cranes and other lifting equipment to remove the old beams and install the new ones. Since railway steel beams often weigh over 100 tons, two large-tonnage cranes are needed to work together, which is costly and inefficient. The replacement process requires a long period of track occupancy, while the track maintenance windows provided by the operating lines are too short to meet the construction requirements. In addition, the transportation of new beams and old beams requires customized special vehicles and high requirements for the transportation roads, which necessitates the hardening of roads, thus increasing the construction period and cost. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a gantry crane for railway loading and unloading and a construction method, which solves the problem of self-assembly when large lifting equipment cannot enter the station from the road and when there is no external lifting equipment.

The bearing housing is connected to a bearing located above the slewing bracket and fitted onto the lifting shaft. The top of the lifting shaft rotatably extends through the support beam and is connected to a nut.
[0009] In some alternative implementations, the end of the lifting shaft that extends through the support beam is also fitted with a locking washer located below the nut and a pad located below the locking washer.
[0010] In some alternative implementations, the column includes a crossbeam sleeve connected to one end of each main beam, at least two upper support columns, a lifting cylinder, and a fixed support leg connected to the bottom of each upper support column.

The second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft. The support frame is connected to an angle sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the connecting shaft.
[0013] In some alternative implementations, the motion drive mechanism includes a traveling geared motor, a drive sprocket connected to the output shaft of the traveling geared motor, a driven sprocket coaxially connected to the tire, and a transmission chain respectively sleeved on the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket.
[0014] This application also provides a construction method for a railway loading and unloading gantry crane, which is carried out using the aforementioned railway loading and unloading gantry crane, and includes the following steps: After the gantry crane used for loading and unloading is disassembled from its lifting trolley and tire traveling mechanism, it is supported by a flatcar and transported to the station.

The end of the hanging shaft 221 that passes through the support beam 210 is also sleeved with a stop washer 226 located below the nut 225 and a pad 227 located below the stop washer 226. The two sides of the slewing bracket 222 are respectively connected to two beams 230.
[0028] Two columns 300 are telescopically connected to the bottom ends of two main beams 100 along the height direction. Each column 300 includes a crossbeam sleeve 310 connected to one end of each main beam 100, two upper support columns 320, a lifting cylinder 330, and a fixed support leg 340 connected to the bottom of each upper support column 320. The crossbeam sleeve 310 is slidably sleeved on each upper support column 320. The two ends of the lifting cylinder 330 are connected to the fixed support leg 340 and the crossbeam sleeve 310, respectively. The bottom of the fixed support leg 340 is connected to a tire traveling mechanism 400. A diesel engine pump set 350, a hydraulic oil tank 360, and a diesel tank 370 are installed on the fixed support leg 340 to provide power to the lifting cylinder 330.
[0029] Two tire-running mechanisms 400 are respectively connected to the bottom of two columns 300. Each tire-running mechanism 400 includes a support frame 410 connected to the bottom of a fixed support leg 340, a frame 420 rotatably connected to the support frame 410 about a vertical axis, and a tire 430 rotatably connected to the frame 420.

[0030] This application also provides a construction method for a railway loading and unloading gantry crane, which is carried out using the aforementioned railway loading and unloading gantry crane, and includes the following steps: Step 1, such as Figure 7 As shown, after disassembling the trolley 120 and tire traveling mechanism 400 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane, a gantry frame is obtained. The gantry frame, trolley 120 and tire traveling mechanism 400 are placed on a flat car 500 for reinforcement. The two crossbeams 230 of the conversion support 200 are rotated around the lifting shaft 221 to be parallel to the main beam 100. Then, the two primary columns 240 of the conversion support 200 are folded and fixed in the direction close to the two crossbeams 230, so that the conversion support 200 is in a folded state. Then, a locomotive is used to pull the flat car 500 to support the gantry frame, trolley 120 and tire traveling mechanism 400 and transport them to the station. Step 2, as follows Figure 8 As shown, the two conversion supports 200 of the control gantry are rotated 90 degrees around the hanging shaft 221, so that the two crossbeams 230 of the conversion support 200 are rotated from parallel to the main beam 100 to perpendicular to the main beam 100. Step 3, as follows Figure 9 As shown, the cylinder rods of the lifting cylinders 330 that control the two columns 300 extend to push the main beam 100 to rise to the highest position along the height direction; Step 4, as follows Figure 10 As shown, the two primary columns 240 of the two retracted conversion supports 200 are folded away from the two crossbeams 230 and arranged vertically. The pins 270 are pulled out so that the secondary columns 250 and tertiary columns 260 extend downwards respectively. Then the pins 270 are used again to fix them so that the conversion supports 200 are in the unfolded state. Step 5, as follows Figure 11 As shown, the cylinder rods of the lifting cylinders 330 controlling the two columns 300 retract, causing the main beam 100 to descend and the three-stage columns 260 of the two conversion supports 200 to be supported on the ground, so that the railway loading and unloading gantry crane is detached from the flatcar 500 and suspended in the air. Step Six, as Figure 12 As shown, after unloading the lifting trolley 120 and tire traveling mechanism 400 from the flatcar 500, the flatcar 500 is driven away from under the railway loading and unloading gantry crane. Step 7, as follows Figure 13 As shown, the tire traveling mechanism 400 is installed at the bottom of the two fixed legs 340 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane; Step 8, as Figure 14 As shown, the cylinder rods of the lifting cylinders 330 controlling the two columns 300 extend to support the tire traveling mechanism 400 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane on the ground and lift the main beam 100 and the conversion support 200 upward, so that the conversion support 200 is suspended in the air, and the lifting trolley 120 is installed on the track 110 on the two main beams 100 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane. Step Nine, as Figure 15 As shown, the two crossbeams 230 of the conversion support 200 are rotated around the hanging shaft 221 until they are parallel to the main beam 100. Then, the pin 270 is pulled out and the secondary column 250 and the tertiary column 260 are retracted upwards respectively. The pin 270 is then used to fix them again. The two primary columns 240 of the conversion support 200 are folded towards the two crossbeams 230 and then fixed, so that the conversion support 200 is in a retracted state. Step 10, as follows Figure 16As shown, after removing the conversion support 200, the slewing motor 440 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane drives the first bevel gear 441 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing second bevel gear 442 and connecting shaft 443 to rotate, thereby driving the frame 420 and tire 430 to rotate 90 degrees. Subsequently, the traveling reduction motor 450 of the moving drive mechanism drives the drive sprocket 451 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven sprocket 452 and tire 430 to rotate through the transmission chain 453. This causes the two tire traveling mechanisms 400 to drive the railway loading and unloading gantry crane to travel to a suitable position and cross the railway line and the beam assembly area. After the steel beam is assembled, it is lifted by the lifting trolley 120 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane and hoisted onto the flatcar 500. After the old beam is recycled, it is unloaded from the flatcar 500 and transported to the beam storage area.
[0031] The railway loading and unloading gantry crane and construction method provided in this application have two conversion supports 200 connected to the bottom of the main beam 100 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane. These supports can rotate around a vertical axis and rotate along a vertical plane at both ends. During transportation, the conversion supports 200 can be folded up to facilitate the flatcar 500 to transport the railway loading and unloading gantry crane, reducing its size for transport through tunnels. At the station, the conversion supports 200 can be unfolded to support the railway loading and unloading gantry crane to detach from the flatcar 500 for unloading, installation, and movement for loading, unloading beams and goods, and for construction. This solves the problem of self-assembly when large lifting equipment cannot enter the station from the road or when there is no external lifting equipment. For bridges that need to be replaced, after the new beam is assembled by the manufacturing group at the construction site, it is hoisted by the railway loading and unloading gantry crane onto the self-propelled transport flatbed of the beam replacement unit. The self-propelled transport flatbed carries the new beam to the beam replacement position. After the self-propelled transport flatbed transports the old beam back, the railway loading and unloading gantry crane is used to unload the old beam and place it in the beam stacking area. The two columns 300 of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane are connected to the tire traveling mechanism 400 at the bottom, which is highly mobile and can realize straight and diagonal movement, general turning, figure-eight turning and rotation in place. It is convenient for loading and unloading across lines. Moreover, the crane is self-powered and can operate without external power supply.

A construction method for a railway loading and unloading gantry crane, characterized in that, It is carried out using a railway loading and unloading gantry crane as described in any one of claims 1 to 9, and includes the following steps: After the gantry crane used for loading and unloading is disassembled from its lifting trolley and tire traveling mechanism, it is supported by a flatcar and transported to the station. Control at least two conversion supports to rotate about a vertical axis from parallel to the main beam to perpendicular to the main beam; Control the two columns to extend along the height direction to push the main beam to its highest position; Rotate the retracted conversion support along the vertical plane to the supporting ground; Controlling the two columns to retract along the height direction drives the main beam to descend, and makes the conversion support support the ground, so that the railway loading and unloading gantry crane is detached from the flatcar and suspended in the air; After unloading the lifting trolley and the tire traveling mechanism, the flatcar is driven away from under the railway loading and unloading gantry crane. The tire traveling mechanism is installed on the railway loading and unloading gantry crane; Control the two columns to extend along the height direction so that the tire traveling mechanism of the railway loading and unloading gantry crane is supported on the ground and the main beam is lifted upward, and install the lifting trolley on the railway loading and unloading gantry crane; The conversion support is controlled to rotate and retract along the vertical plane, and then rotate around the vertical axis until it is parallel to the main beam; Remove the conversion support so that the railway loading and unloading gantry crane can simultaneously cross the railway line and the beam assembly area via the tire traveling mechanism.
