The specific implementation is as follows:

[0020] Component preparation and inspection: First, ensure that all components (housing 1, bevel gear 2, first connecting shaft 3, second connecting shaft 4, first bearing seat 6, second bearing seat 12, third bearing seat 14, encoder bracket 8, encoder shield 9, mounting bracket 10, first shaft cap 11, second shaft cap 13 and absolute encoder, etc.) are complete and undamaged. Check the dimensions and quality of each component to ensure that all parts meet the design requirements.

[0021] Install the first connecting shaft 3 and the bevel gear: Assemble the bevel gear on the first connecting shaft 3 by key connection, and ensure that the tooth shape of the bevel gear is accurate. Then, install the assembled first connecting shaft 3 into the housing 1 through the first bearing seat 6, and fix it with a deep groove ball bearing to ensure that it rotates smoothly and withstands the predetermined load. The two ends of the first bearing seat 6 are fastened with the first shaft cap 11 to prevent the outer ring of the bearing from moving.

[0022] Assemble the second connecting shaft 4 and the bevel gear 2: Install the second connecting shaft 4 to the bottom of the housing 1 through the third bearing seat 14, and ensure that the inner end of the second connecting shaft 4 is firmly connected to the bevel gear 2. The bevel gear 2 is precisely meshed with the bevel gear on the first connecting shaft 3 to achieve a 90° transmission direction conversion. The outer end of the second connecting shaft 4 is assembled with the slewing gear 7, whose module should fully match the gear of the slewing platform of the portal crane for smooth meshing.

[0023] Encoder bracket and encoder installation: Install the encoder bracket 8 at one end of the first connecting shaft 3 and fix it with bolts. Then, install the absolute encoder on the encoder bracket 8 to ensure that the position of the encoder can accurately detect the change of the rotation angle. The encoder shield 9 is installed on the surface of the encoder bracket 8 to prevent dust and water and protect the encoder from environmental influences.

[0024] Mounting bracket fixation: Fix the mounting bracket 10 to the top of the slewing platform of the portal crane and ensure its stability by welding or bolting. The other end of the mounting bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 to provide additional support and stability for the entire encoder assembly.

[0025] During the specific installation, a rotary absolute encoder is installed on the slewing platform of the gantry crane. The first connecting shaft 3 and the second connecting shaft 4 are used to assemble the matching bevel gear and bevel gear inside the casing 1 to change the transmission direction into a 90° direction. Two deep groove ball bearings are installed on the first bearing seat 6 and the second bearing seat 12 at both ends of the first connecting shaft 3 to fix the first connecting shaft 3 on the outside. The end of the first connecting shaft 3 is connected to the absolute encoder with a coupling. The bevel gear 2 is installed outside the second connecting shaft 4, and it cooperates with the bevel gear installed on the first connecting shaft 3 in a 1:1 ratio to change the transmission direction. A rotary gear 7 is installed on the outside of the second connecting shaft 4. The module of the rotary gear 7 is the same as the module of the gantry crane slewing platform gear to ensure that the gears are meshed with each other. The first shaft cap 11 and the second shaft cap 13 block the outer ring of the bearing. The encoder bracket 8 fixes the absolute encoder. The encoder shield 9 protects the encoder from rain and dust. The mounting bracket 10 is welded to the bottom of the gantry crane slewing platform to fix the entire encoder.
