Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cranes, and in particular relates to a gantry crane for a hydropower station. Background Art

[0002] Gantry cranes are usually installed on the top of the dam of a hydropower station, and are used to lift and open and close gates and trash racks.

[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese utility model patent document with the authorization announcement number CN202508785U discloses a gantry crane for a hydropower station, which moves on the dam top through a trolley running mechanism, corresponding to different tailwater gates, to lift and open and close the gates and trash racks. The trolley running mechanism needs to make the crane correspond to different tailwater gates during the movement. At present, the method commonly used is to encode the running wheels of the trolley running mechanism to collect the moving distance of the trolley running mechanism. Since the distance between the gates is fixed, the positioning between the crane and the gate can be achieved by controlling the moving distance of the trolley running mechanism. However, during the operation, due to the influence of factors such as slippage between the running wheels and the track and accumulated errors, the positioning is prone to deviations, which requires regular correction, affecting the positioning accuracy and increasing the maintenance workload.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a gantry crane for hydropower stations that is not prone to positioning deviations, ensures positioning accuracy, does not require regular calibration, and reduces the workload of later maintenance to solve the current technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a gantry crane for a hydropower station which is not prone to positioning deviation, ensures positioning accuracy, does not require regular calibration, and reduces the workload of subsequent maintenance.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a gantry crane for a hydropower station, comprising a track, a crane body and a controller, a trolley running mechanism matched with the track is arranged at the bottom of the crane body, the trolley running mechanism has a trolley running motor driving it to move along the track, a trigger component is fixedly arranged at the center of the outer side of the trolley running mechanism, a positioning unit corresponding to the gate position is arranged on one side of the track, the positioning unit cooperates with the trigger component, the positioning unit has a positioning proximity switch corresponding to the center position of the gate, the positioning proximity switch is respectively provided with a first auxiliary proximity switch and a second auxiliary proximity switch on both sides along the track direction, the positioning proximity switch, the first auxiliary proximity switch and the second auxiliary proximity switch are all connected to the controller, a trolley frequency converter is connected to the controller, and the trolley frequency converter is connected to the trolley running motor.

[0007] The trigger component has a trigger plate, and the positioning proximity switch, the first auxiliary proximity switch and the second auxiliary proximity switch all correspond to the trigger plate.

[0008] A shell is slidably provided at one end of the trigger plate in the vertical direction, the shell is fixedly provided on one side of the trolley running mechanism, a screw rod perpendicular to the trigger plate is rotatably provided on the shell, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to the trigger plate.

[0009] The upper end of the screw rod is provided with a hexagonal column, and a locking nut is assembled on the outer side of the upper end of the screw rod.

[0010] Two guide rods perpendicular to the trigger plate are symmetrically arranged inside the shell, and the trigger plate is slidably connected to the guide rods.

[0011] The outer side of the shell is symmetrically provided with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is detachably fixedly assembled on the outer side of the trolley running mechanism by bolts.

[0012] Rail clamps matching the rails are arranged at both ends of the trolley running mechanism, and the rail clamps are connected to the controller.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0014] (1) In the present invention, the position between the positioning unit and the gate plate remains unchanged, and the position between the trigger component and the crane body remains unchanged. The positioning unit and the trigger component cooperate to realize the positioning between the crane body and the gate plate. Positioning deviation is not easy to occur, and positioning accuracy is guaranteed. No regular calibration is required, which reduces the workload of later maintenance.

[0015] (2) When the trolley running motor drives the trolley running mechanism to move on the track, after the first auxiliary proximity switch or the second auxiliary proximity switch of the designated gate is triggered, the controller sends a command to the trolley inverter to make the trolley running motor drive the trolley running mechanism to slow down and facilitate subsequent positioning. After the positioning proximity switch is triggered, the controller sends a command to the trolley inverter to stop the trolley running motor, and the crane is positioned above the corresponding gate.
