[0025] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the utility model, further description is now made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0026] In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 3 The figure shows the overall structure of the utility model straddling cable type crawling crane, which includes a motor unit and a frame 5. The frame 5 is saddle-shaped as a whole and can straddle the main cable 10. The frame 5 is a frame welded from steel plates and is the main structure of the entire crane. A horizontal telescopic oil cylinder 7 is arranged at the front end of the frame 5. The front end of the telescopic rod of the horizontal telescopic oil cylinder 7 is connected to a front clamping mechanism 8 that can be clamped on the outer periphery of the main cable. The front end of the front clamping mechanism 8 is connected to a front walking mechanism 9.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a cable clamp 2 is installed at every other end of the main cable 10 for fixing. Therefore, in order to make the crane more stably installed on the main cable, a clamping and positioning mechanism 4 is provided at the rear end of the frame 5 for clamping on both sides of the cable clamp 2 on the main cable 10, which plays a role of auxiliary positioning. The rear end of the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 is connected to the rear clamping mechanism 3 that can be clamped on the outer periphery of the main cable, the front end of the rear clamping mechanism 3 is connected to the rear walking mechanism 1, and the bottom of the frame 5 is connected to the hoisting hoisting mechanism 6 for hoisting.

[0029] When the present embodiment is running on the main cable 10, first the rear clamping mechanism 3 clamps the main cable 10, the front clamping mechanism 8 is released, the horizontal telescopic cylinder 7 cooperates to extend to the maximum stroke, and then the two clamping mechanisms interchange actions, the horizontal telescopic cylinder 7 shortens to the minimum, and the steps are repeated to complete the crawling action of the crane on the main cable 10.

[0030] To sum up, the cable-riding crawling crane designed by the utility model relies on the telescopic movement of the horizontal telescopic cylinder. The front clamping mechanism and the rear clamping mechanism alternately clamp the main cable, driving the front walking mechanism and the rear walking mechanism to slide on the main cable, so that the crane can crawl independently suspended on a single main cable. The crawling crane overcomes the technical problems that traditional cable-mounted cranes can only be used for parallel main cables and that rigid beams are required to be used to connect cranes. It can adapt to main cables in various spatial forms, and can be used separately or in an integrated manner, thereby simplifying the installation process of steel beams of suspension bridges and improving work efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the front traveling mechanism 9 includes a first fixed frame 91, a front lifting cylinder 92 is arranged at the bottom of the first fixed frame 91, and the bottom of the telescopic rod of the front lifting cylinder 92 is connected to the front traveling wheel 93, and the front traveling wheel 93 can slide on the main cable 10. Similarly, the rear traveling mechanism 1 includes a second fixed frame 11, a rear lifting cylinder 12 is arranged at the bottom of the second fixed frame 11, and the bottom of the telescopic rod of the rear lifting cylinder 12 is connected to the rear traveling wheel 13, and the rear traveling wheel 13 can slide on the main cable 10. When the frame 5 needs to cross the cable clamp 2 during the walking process, the rear lifting cylinder 12 and the front lifting cylinder 92 are extended to make the frame 5 as a whole higher than the cable clamp 2, thereby completing the crossing action.

[0032] like Figure 4 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the front clamping mechanism and the rear clamping mechanism on the AA plane, wherein the front clamping mechanism 8 includes a third fixed frame 81 connected to the frame 5, the first telescopic cylinder 82 is symmetrically connected to the third fixed frame 81 on both sides, the telescopic rod ends of a pair of first telescopic cylinders 82 are connected to the first clamping arm 83, and the front end of the first clamping arm 83 is provided with a first arc-shaped clamping groove 84, the arc surface of the first arc-shaped clamping groove 84 is adapted to the outer arc surface of the main cable 10, and the upper end of the notch of the first arc-shaped clamping groove 84 is connected to the first rotating shaft 85 fixed on the third fixed frame 81, so that when the telescopic rods of a pair of first telescopic cylinders 82 are extended, the pair of first clamping arms 83 rotate with the first rotating shaft 85 as the center to the side close to the main cable 10 to clamp the main cable 10. Similarly, the rear clamping mechanism 3 includes a fifth fixed frame 31 connected to the frame 5, and the third telescopic cylinder 32 is symmetrically connected to the fifth fixed frame 31 on both sides, and the telescopic rod ends of a pair of third telescopic cylinders 32 are connected to the second clamping arm 33. The front end of the second clamping arm 33 is provided with a second arc-shaped clamping groove 34, and the arc surface of the second arc-shaped clamping groove 34 is adapted to the outer arc surface of the main cable 10. The upper end of the groove of the second arc-shaped clamping groove 34 is connected to the second rotating shaft 35 fixed on the fifth fixed frame 81, so that when the telescopic rods of a pair of third telescopic cylinders 32 are extended, the pair of second clamping arms 33 rotate with the second rotating shaft 35 as the center to the side close to the main cable 10 to clamp the main cable 10.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a BB-surface cross-sectional view of the clamping and positioning mechanism, wherein the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 includes a fourth fixed frame 41 connected to the frame 5, the fourth fixed frame 41 is in an inverted U-shape as a whole, a pair of second telescopic cylinders 42 are symmetrically arranged in the inner walls on both sides of the fourth fixed frame 41, and special-shaped clamping plates 43 are respectively arranged at the front ends of the pair of second telescopic cylinders 42, and the plate surface shape of the special-shaped clamping plates 43 is adapted to the surface of the cable clamp 11, so that the plate surface of the cable clamp 11 can be clamped when stopping for auxiliary positioning, thereby improving the overall stability of the crane and preventing the crane from sliding down along the main cable.

[0034] like Figure 6-7As shown, in this embodiment, the winch lifting mechanism 6 includes a winding drum motor 61, a guide wheel group 62, a friction wheel group 63 and a fixed pulley group 64 fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the frame 5. The winding drum motor 61 only provides the function of collecting and releasing the wire rope 65. The wire rope 65 extended from the winding drum motor 61 passes through the guide wheel group 62, the friction wheel group 63, the fixed pulley group 64 in sequence and is connected to the movable pulley group 66. The friction wheel group 63 is driven by a hydraulic motor 67, and the bottom end of the movable pulley group 66 is connected to a hook 68. This embodiment provides a larger lifting force through the output amplification ratio formed by the movable and fixed pulleys.

[0035] In addition, in some embodiments, a fixing rod 69 is connected to the movable pulley block 66 , and an end of the fixing rod 69 is connected to the frame 5 , so as to assist in positioning the fixed pulley block 66 .

[0036] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
