[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a stop mechanism for a gantry crane of the present application. Figure 2It is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of an embodiment of a storage box, wherein the stop mechanism includes a storage box 10, a connecting assembly 20, an adjusting rod 30 and a limiting member 40.

[0025] Specifically, the storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the legs of the gantry crane. In a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, a hollow area 11 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 10.

[0026] In one implementation scenario, a bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the storage box 10, and a hollow area 11 is provided on the bottom plate. The specific shape and size of the hollow area 11 can be set according to actual conditions.

[0027] Optionally, in another implementation scenario, no bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the storage box 10 , that is, the entire bottom of the storage box 10 is a hollow area 11 .

[0028] The connection assembly 20 is disposed on the side of the storage box 10. The adjustment rod 30 is rotatably connected to the side of the storage box 10 through the connection assembly 20, and a bending portion 31 is disposed at one end of the adjustment rod 30. When at least part of the projection of the bending portion 31 in the vertical direction is located in the hollow area 11, the stopper 40 is located in the storage box 10; when the projection of the bending portion 31 in the vertical direction is located outside the hollow area 11, the stopper 40 falls from the hollow area 11.

[0029] Specifically, the adjusting rod 30 can be rotated along the first rotation direction A through the connecting assembly 20. When the adjusting rod 30 is not rotated, part of the bent portion 31 is in close contact with the edge of the hollow area 11, and at least part of the projection of the bent portion 31 in the vertical direction is located in the hollow area 11, that is, at least part of the bent portion 31 is located directly below the hollow area 11, so as to block the stopper 40 in the storage box 10. Alternatively, when the adjusting rod 30 is rotated along the first rotation direction A, the bent portion 31 is separated from the edge of the hollow area 11, and when the adjusting rod 30 is rotated to a certain angle, the bent portion 31 leaves the hollow area 11, that is, the projection of the bent portion 31 in the vertical direction is located outside the hollow area, and at this time, the stopper 40 falls from the storage box 10 through the hollow area 11.

[0030] The stop mechanism for a gantry crane proposed in the present application is provided with a storage box 10 on the legs of the gantry crane, and a rotatable adjustment rod 30 is connected to the side of the storage box 10. When the adjustment rod 30 is not rotated, the bent portion 31 of the adjustment rod 30 is located directly below the hollow area 11 at the bottom of the storage box 10 to prevent the stopper 40 in the storage box 10 from falling. When the legs of the gantry crane need to be limited, the adjustment rod 30 is rotated so that the stopper 40 falls from the storage box 10 through the hollow area 11. The stop mechanism reduces the difficulty of limiting the legs of the gantry crane, which helps to protect the gantry crane to a certain extent.

[0031] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting assembly 20 includes a connecting shaft 21 and at least one connecting spring 22 . The adjusting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the side of the storage box 10 via the connecting shaft 21 , that is, the adjusting rod 30 can be rotated along the first rotation direction A via the connecting shaft 21 .

[0032] One end of the connecting spring 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the storage box 10 , and the other end is fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 30 . Under the elastic force of the connecting spring 22 , the bending portion 31 of the adjusting rod 30 fits with the bottom of the storage box 10 .

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the adjusting rod 30 rotates along the first rotation direction A, the connecting spring 22 is stretched, and the projection of the bending portion 31 in the vertical direction is located outside the hollow area 11; that is, the bending portion 31 leaves the bottom of the hollow area 11, so that the limiting member 40 in the storage box 10 falls off, and the fallen limiting member 40 is used to limit the legs of the gantry crane, thereby improving the stability of the gantry crane.

[0034] The number and related parameters of the connecting springs 22 can be set according to actual conditions, so that when the adjusting rod 30 is not rotated, the elastic force of the connecting spring 22 can enable the bending portion 31 of the adjusting rod 30 to support the stopper 40 in the storage box 10. By setting the connecting spring 22, the adjusting rod 30 can automatically return to the original position under the elastic force of the connecting spring 22 after being rotated in the first rotation direction A, which improves the convenience of operation for relevant technicians.

[0035] In another embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to improve the stability of the stopper 40 in the storage box 10, the stopper mechanism proposed in the present application further includes a first baffle (not shown) that can be arranged to be fixedly connected to the bending portion 31. The first baffle matches the hollow area 11.

[0036] In one implementation scenario, when the hollow area 11 is a rectangular opening, the bent portion 31 is connected to a rectangular first baffle, the size of the first baffle is larger than the size of the hollow area 11, so that the first baffle can completely cover the hollow area 11. When the adjustment rod 30 is not rotated along the first rotation direction A, the first baffle covers the hollow area 11 to prevent the stopper 40 from falling; or, when the adjustment rod 30 is rotated along the first rotation direction, the first baffle leaves the bottom of the hollow area 11, so that the stopper 40 falls.

[0037] In another embodiment, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the stop mechanism for a gantry crane of the present application. In this embodiment, the storage box 10 includes a first side surface 12 and a second side surface 13 that are oppositely disposed, and the first side surface 12 and the second side surface 13 are respectively provided with a connecting assembly 20, and the connecting assembly 20 is respectively connected to a corresponding adjusting rod 30.

[0038] Specifically, in order to improve the stability of supporting the limiter 40 in the storage box 10, corresponding connecting components 20 and adjusting rods 30 are respectively provided on the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the storage box 10, so that the adjusting rods 30 on both sides can support the limiter 40 in the storage box 10 together. When it is necessary to use the limiter 40 in the storage box 10 to limit the legs of the gantry crane, the adjusting rods 30 on both sides of the storage box 10 are rotated along the corresponding rotation direction at the same time, so that the bending portion 31 of each adjusting rod 30 leaves the bottom of the hollow area 11, and the limiter 40 in the storage box 10 falls on the running path of the legs of the gantry crane to limit the gantry crane. It should be noted that Figure 3 The structure of the connecting components 20 on both sides of the storage box 10 is only schematically drawn. The specific structure and connection relationship of the adjustment rod 30 connected to each group of connecting components 20 can be referred to the description in any of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Optionally, in other embodiments, according to Figure 3 Corresponding to the stop mechanism, the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the storage box 10 are respectively provided with a connecting assembly 20, each connecting assembly 20 is connected to a corresponding adjusting rod 30, and the bending portion 31 of each adjusting rod 30 is connected to a first baffle. When the adjusting rod 30 is not rotated, the two first baffles are combined with each other to cover the hollow area 11. The specific structure of the first baffle can refer to the above corresponding embodiment.

[0040] In another embodiment, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 In order to improve the storage stability of the stopper 40 in the storage box 10, a reversible second baffle 50 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 10, and the bending portion is used to make the second baffle 50 fit the hollow area 11.

[0041] Specifically, when the first side surface 12 of the storage box 10 is provided with the connecting assembly 20 and the adjusting rod 30, a rotating shaft 51 is provided at the bottom of the second side surface 13 corresponding to the first side surface 12, and the second baffle 50 is rotatably connected to the second side surface 13 of the storage box 10 through the rotating shaft 51. When the adjusting rod 30 is not rotated, the second baffle 50 covers the hollow area 11, and the bent portion 31 of the adjusting rod 30 is used to support the second baffle 50, so that the bent portion 31 and the second baffle 50 cooperate to prevent the stopper 40 in the storage box 10 from falling. Alternatively, when the adjusting rod 30 is rotated, the bent portion 31 of the adjusting rod 30 no longer supports the second baffle 50, and the second baffle 50 rotates around the rotating shaft 51 under the action of gravity and no longer covers the hollow area 11, under which the stopper 40 in the storage box 10 falls.

[0042] In another embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , the legs of the gantry crane move along the guide rails 60, and the stop mechanism proposed in the present application also includes a moving assembly 70 connected to the storage box 10, and the moving assembly 70 includes a supporting bottom wheel 71 matching the guide rails.

[0043] In one implementation scenario, when the guide rail 60 is a T-shaped guide rail, the support bottom wheel 71 is provided with a accommodating cavity 72 matching the T-shaped guide rail, and at least a portion of the T-shaped guide rail is located in the accommodating cavity 72, so that the support bottom wheel 71 moves along the T-shaped guide rail.

[0044] Specifically, in order to improve the stability of the stop mechanism when it moves with the legs of the gantry crane, a corresponding moving component 70 is set at the bottom of the storage box 10 of the stop mechanism, so that when the limiting member 40 in the storage box 10 falls, the movement of the supporting bottom wheel 71 is preferentially blocked, thereby limiting the legs of the gantry crane.

[0045] Optionally, in other embodiments, the movable assembly 70 may not be provided at the bottom of the storage box 10, so that the gantry crane legs can be directly limited by the limiting member 40 to simplify the structure of the stop mechanism.

[0046] In another embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 1The limiting member 40 mentioned in any of the above embodiments includes at least one stopping sandbag, which is used to limit the legs of the gantry crane, and when the number of stopping sandbags is greater, the effect of limiting the legs of the gantry crane is better.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a gantry crane of the present application. The gantry crane comprises a gantry 80 and a support leg 90. The support leg 90 comprises a stopper mechanism 100 mentioned in any of the above embodiments.

[0048] In an implementation scenario, please continue to refer to Figure 1 Since the gantry crane includes at least one leg 90, in order to improve the stability of the stopper, the stopper mechanism 100 mentioned in any of the above embodiments is provided on each leg 90.

[0049] Furthermore, since the leg 90 of the gantry crane can move forward or backward along the guide rail 60, the stop mechanism 100 mentioned in any of the above embodiments is arranged on one side of the forward direction of the leg 90, and the stop mechanism 100 mentioned in any of the above embodiments is also arranged on one side of the backward direction of the leg 90, so that different limit members 40 can limit the movement of the leg in the forward and backward directions.

[0050] The above description is only an implementation method of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
