[0024] like Figure 1As shown, the transplanting device for OHT overhead crane maintenance equipment of the preferred embodiment of the utility model comprises a lifting frame 1 and a traction mechanism. The main purpose of the device is to send the overhead crane on the track off the track for inspection and repair, or to send the overhead crane after the inspection and repair back onto the track, during which the overhead crane is towed to the designated position and is responsible for carrying the overhead crane during the process of the overhead crane going up and down.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting frame 1 includes two docking rails 11 and two supporting frames 12. The two docking rails 11 are parallel to each other. Two pairs of photoelectric components 112 are respectively arranged in the middle of the docking rails 11 on both sides. The connecting line of the photoelectric components 112 on both sides is parallel to the supporting beam 121. The two supporting frames 12 are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of the docking rail 11. The supporting frame 12 includes a supporting beam 121. The two supporting beams 121 are parallel to each other. A traction bottom plate 23 is connected between the two supporting beams 121. Support brackets 122 are respectively arranged at both ends of the supporting beam 121. The supporting brackets 122 are perpendicular to the supporting beam 121 and face the docking rail 11. The supporting brackets 122 at both ends of the supporting beam 121 are respectively connected to the two docking rails 11. The docking rails 11 and the supporting frames 12 constitute the main load-bearing part of the lifting mechanism. When the overhead crane is lifted, it stops at the middle position of the docking rail 11. The remaining components are also installed on the docking rail 11 and the supporting frame 12.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a suspension device is installed outside the support frame 12, and the suspension device is generally installed on the ceiling. A steel wire rope 123 for connecting with the suspension device is provided on the support bracket 122. Positioning bushings 111 are provided at both ends of the docking track 11.

[0027] The traction mechanism includes a gripping mechanism 3 and a transmission mechanism 2 .

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a servo motor assembly 21 and a synchronous belt 223 assembly. The servo motor assembly 21 is arranged on the outside of the supporting beam 121 away from the end of the overhead crane for entry and exit. The output shaft of the servo motor assembly 21 is parallel to the supporting beam 121. The synchronous belt 223 assembly includes a first synchronous wheel assembly 221, a second synchronous wheel assembly 222 and a synchronous belt 223. The first synchronous wheel assembly 221 is arranged on the outside of the supporting beam 121 close to the servo motor assembly 21.

The synchronous belt 223 is connected between the wheel body of the first synchronous wheel assembly 221 and the wheel body of the second synchronous wheel assembly 222 to form a complete synchronous belt 223 assembly.

After the height is determined, the tensioning wheel assembly 224 can be fixed by tightening the bolts. The tightness of the synchronous belt 223 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel assembly 224 up and down.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the grabbing mechanism 3 includes a grabbing base plate 33, two sliders 331 are provided on the top of the grabbing base plate 33, and linear guide rail assemblies 231 are respectively provided on the two long sides of the traction base plate 23. The linear guide rail assemblies 231 are parallel to the docking guide rails. The two sliders 331 are respectively slidably connected to the linear guide rail assemblies 231 on both sides. A pressure plate assembly 332 for clamping the synchronous belt 223 is also provided on the top of the grabbing base plate 33, so that the grabbing mechanism 3 can be driven to move along the linear guide rail assembly 231 through the synchronous belt 223.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a clamping cylinder 31 is provided at the bottom of the grabbing base plate 33, and piston rods are provided at both ends of the length direction of the clamping cylinder 31. The piston rods on both sides extend and retract simultaneously, and the piston rods on both sides are respectively connected to the clamping claw assemblies 32. A clamping block 321 is provided at the bottom of the clamping claw assembly 32, and the clamping blocks 321 on both sides are retracted inward to grasp the clamping part of the overhead crane.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a drag chain connecting plate 336 is provided on the side of the grabbing base plate 33, and a drag chain assembly 4 is connected to the drag chain connecting plate 336. The other end of the drag chain assembly 4 is connected to a supporting beam 121 on the side away from the grabbing base plate 33. A drag chain limiting plate 41 is provided between the supporting beams 121 on both sides. The pipes, wiring harnesses, etc. of the clamping cylinder 31 are arranged in the drag chain assembly 4. The drag chain can avoid excessive tensioning of the pipes and wiring harnesses.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sensor mounting plate is provided on the side of the grab base plate 33 away from the servo motor assembly 21, and a displacement sensor assembly 333 is provided on the sensor mounting plate. A limit sensor assembly 232 is provided on the bottom surface of the traction base plate 23, and the limit sensor assembly 232 is still a distance away from the end of the traction base plate 23 away from the servo motor assembly 21. A baffle 335 for triggering the limit sensor assembly 232 is provided on the top of the grab base plate 33. An in-position sensor assembly 233 is provided on the end of the traction base plate 23 away from the servo motor assembly 21.

[0034] Specific implementation process: The suspension device moves the lifting frame 1 up and down to the height of the specified track, and then inserts the positioning column into the four positioning bushings 111, so that the docking track 11 is accurately docked with other tracks. After the docking is completed, the overhead crane drives from other tracks to the docking track 11, but because there is no non-contact power supply on the docking track 11, the overhead crane can only move to the power-off position. When the overhead crane moves to the power-off position, it just blocks the in-position sensor assembly 233, thereby confirming that the overhead crane is in position.

[0035] Then the servo motor assembly 21 drives the gripping mechanism 3 to move to a suitable position and clamps the crown block for clamping. After stable clamping, the displacement sensor assembly 333 starts to detect the distance between the crown block and the gripping mechanism 3. By real-time monitoring of the distance between the displacement sensor assembly 333 and the crown block, it is possible to detect whether the gripping mechanism 3 and the crown block have slipped during the traction process, resulting in a change in the relative position between the gripping mechanism 3 and the crown block. If slippage occurs, the real-time detection data of the displacement sensor assembly 333 can be fed back to the servo motor assembly 21 to compensate for the changed relative position within the redundant range.

[0036] After stable clamping, the servo motor assembly 21 drives the grasping mechanism 3 to move, thereby driving the overhead crane to move together. After the overhead crane is translated to the specified position, the two pairs of opposing photoelectric components 112 on the lifting frame 1 are used to confirm whether the overhead crane has correctly moved to the specified position. After confirming that the overhead crane has correctly translated to the specified position, the grasping mechanism 3 still clamps the overhead crane, releases the positioning bolts in the positioning bushings 111, and operates the entire transplanting device to lift and lower. After the transplanting device is lifted and lowered to the specified position, the positioning columns are still inserted into the four positioning bushings 111, so that the docking track 11 is accurately docked with other tracks. After the docking is completed, the servo motor assembly 21 drives the grasping mechanism 3 to move in the opposite direction to the direction in which the overhead crane enters, and pushes the overhead crane horizontally into the docking track, and then the grasping mechanism 3 cancels the clamping and retracts to the appropriate position.

[0037] The transplanting device of the utility model for OHT overhead crane maintenance equipment has a simple and compact structure, high reliability, and is easy to maintain. It only uses a single-sided motor drive, which can control costs. At the same time, it can achieve accurate overhead crane positioning through the coordinated positioning of multiple sensors.

[0038] The above specific implementations are only descriptions of the preferred implementations of the utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the utility model. Under the premise of not departing from the design concept and spirit of the utility model, various deformations, substitutions and improvements made by ordinary technicians in this field to the technical solution of the utility model based on the text description and drawings provided by the utility model should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model is determined by the claims.
