Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In many fields such as modern industrial production, logistics and transportation, and construction, it is often necessary to lift and move heavy objects. Gantry cranes, as an important lifting equipment, are widely used due to their simple structure and convenient operation. In particular, small gantry cranes play an important role in some scenarios with limited space or high requirements for equipment mobility, such as material handling in small factories and partial lifting operations on construction sites, due to their lightweight and easy mobility.

[0003] However, existing small gantry cranes have some significant limitations in practical use. On the one hand, their applicable terrain is relatively limited, and they can usually only be used on flat ground. In uneven ground environments, due to the lack of an effective terrain adaptation mechanism, the gantry crane is difficult to place stably, which may lead to installation difficulties or even failure to operate normally. For example, in some construction sites, the ground may have potholes, bumps, or unevenness. When setting up a small gantry crane on such terrain, a lot of time and effort needs to be spent to level the ground, otherwise its stability and safety will be affected.

[0004] On the other hand, stability issues are particularly prominent when using small gantry cranes to move heavy objects. These types of gantry cranes mainly rely on bases for fixation, but in actual operation, base fixation alone is often insufficient to cope with the various forces generated during the handling of heavy objects, such as the impact force during lifting and the inertial force during movement. This can easily lead to instability such as swaying and tipping of the gantry crane during operation, which may not only damage equipment and goods, but also threaten the lives of operators.

[0005] Furthermore, since small gantry cranes are used in various work scenarios and require frequent movement and reconfiguration, the existing fixing methods and structural designs make them inadequate in dealing with complex and ever-changing work environments, reducing work efficiency and increasing usage costs. In summary, existing small gantry cranes are insufficient in terms of terrain adaptability and stability, and there is an urgent need for a lightweight mobile gantry crane that can effectively solve these problems to meet diverse work needs and improve work efficiency and safety.

A square groove corresponding to the adjustment component 9 is opened in the middle of the adjustment groove 1. The adjustment groove 1 and the adjustment component 9 are fixedly connected by bolts. When the bolts of the adjustment groove 1 and the adjustment component 9 are removed, the adjustment component 9 can push the crossbeam 11 to move upward. At this time, the crossbeam 11 and the adjustment component 9 move upward as a whole, which makes it convenient to control the hoisting height of the crossbeam 11. A fixing member 20 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the positioning plate 18, and an mounting member 21 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the sliding plate 19.

When the whole device moves, the drive motor 7 can control the rotating part 17 to flip upward, so that the flip plate 3 can be flipped and stored. A limiting plate 201 is fixedly installed on the side of the support base 2, and a hook 14 is rotatably provided on the side of the flip plate 3. The hook 14 and the limiting plate 201 can be rotatably snapped together. The hook 14 can rotate on the side of the flip plate 3. When the flip plate 3 is vertically set close to the support base 2, the hook 14 can be rotated to snap the hook 14 and the limiting plate 201 together, so that the flip plate 3 can be flipped over and stored. The upper side of the lifting rod 4 is provided with a threaded groove. The lifting rod 4 is rotatably set on the side of the limiting frame 6. The lower end of the lifting rod 4 is fixedly installed with a support plate 5. By rotating the lifting rod 4, the height of the lower end of the support plate 5 can be adjusted. The operator can adjust the limiting frame 6 to a horizontal position to facilitate the support of the flip plate 3. The side of the damping component 30 is provided with an arc-shaped groove corresponding to the mounting groove 24. The damping component 30 is a rubber component. The horizontal movement of the damping component 30 can be controlled by the stabilizing plate 28. When the damping component 30 contacts the mounting groove 24, the damping component 30 will limit and fix the mounting groove 24. Auxiliary support components 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support base 2. A support bracket 8 is provided in the middle of the auxiliary support component 22. The support bracket 8 can limit and position the support base 2, which facilitates the pre-positioning of the support base 2. The main control unit 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the support base 2, the battery 13 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the sliding plate 19, and the rotating wheels 15 are fixedly installed on the lower ends of both sides of the support base 2. The battery 13 can position the device, and the internal electrical operation can be controlled by the main control unit 12.

[0036] The working principle of this invention is as follows: A pair of support bases 2 form a basic support structure. The rotating wheels 15 installed on the lower ends of both sides of the support bases 2 make the entire device easy to move and can be easily transferred between different work sites. The auxiliary support members 22 fixed on both sides of the support bases 2 and the support legs 8 in the middle can be adjusted downward to the ground contact position by rotating the support legs 8 after the entire device is moved to the required position. This can limit and position the support bases 2, achieve pre-positioning, and ensure the accuracy of the initial placement of the equipment. The positioning plate 18 and the sliding plate 19 on the lower side of the support base 2 are connected by sliding snap-fit. The fixing part 20 on the positioning plate 18 and the mounting part 21 on the sliding plate 19 are also slidably snap-fitted and fixed by the upper bolts. During transportation, the bolts can be removed so that the sliding plate 19 and the mounting part 21 can be separated from the positioning plate 18 as a whole, which is convenient for transportation. The support base 2 has an adjustment groove 1 in the middle, and an adjustment component 9 is slidably installed in the adjustment groove 1. The upper ends of the adjustment components 9 on both sides are fixedly connected to the cross beam 11. The upper end of the first electric push rod 10 on the side of the adjustment groove 1 is fixed to the cross beam 11. When the bolts between the adjustment groove 1 and the adjustment component 9 are removed, the first electric push rod 10 is activated, pushing the adjustment component 9 and the cross beam 11 to move upward, thereby flexibly controlling the hoisting height of the cross beam 11 to adapt to hoisting requirements of different heights. When the entire device is moved to a suitable position, when it is necessary to move or store the device, the drive motor 7 controls the rotating slot 16 to rotate upward, thereby driving the rotating plate 3 connected to it to rotate. At the same time, the hook 14 rotatably set on the side of the rotating plate 3 can be connected to the limiting plate 201 on the side of the support base 2 when the rotating plate 3 is vertically set close to the support base 2, so as to realize the rotation and storage of the rotating plate 3, reduce the space occupied by the equipment, and facilitate movement and storage. Once the entire device is moved to the appropriate position, the height of the lower end of the support plate 5 can be adjusted by rotating a pair of lifting rods 4 on the side of the limiting frame 6, thereby adjusting the limiting frame 6 to a horizontal position and providing stable support for the flipping plate 3, ensuring the stability of the flipping plate 3 during use. Multiple mounting slots 24 are equidistantly slidably arranged on the side of the flipping plate 3, and positioning rods 23 are slidably arranged within the mounting slots 24. The limiting members 2401 on both sides of the positioning rods 23 cooperate with the mounting slots 24 to prevent the positioning rods 23 from dislodging. The positioning ring 32 on the outer side of the middle of the positioning rod 23 is secured by a positioning spring. 27 is connected to the mounting groove 24. The positioning head 25 is installed at the lower end of the positioning rod 23. It is a component made of hard rubber. The drive motor 7 at the upper end of the sliding plate 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 17 through the drive shaft 26. When the drive motor 7 starts, it can drive the rotating part 17 to rotate, so that the flipping plate 3 rotates onto the limit frame 6. At this time, when the lifting device is set up, the elastic force of the positioning spring 27 will push the positioning rod 23 downward. At this time, the positioning head 25 on the lower side of the positioning rod 23 will contact the ground under the action of gravity and elastic potential energy, which can keep the whole stable. If the device is installed in an uneven area, the positioning rod 23 will descend to different heights, but it will eventually contact the ground, improving overall support and effectively preventing slight swaying and horizontal movement. The second electric push rod 33 on the side of the inner cavity of the flip plate 3 pushes the connecting block 31, which in turn drives the stabilizing plate 28. The stabilizing plate 28 controls the horizontal movement of the damping element 30 via the adjusting rod 29. The damping element 30 is made of rubber and has an arc-shaped groove on its side that corresponds to the mounting groove 24. When the damping element 30 contacts the mounting groove 24, it can limit and fix the mounting groove 24, ensuring the stability of the positioning rod 23 and related components.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
