Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of cranes, and in particular relates to a crane used for port operations. Background Art
[0002] Gantry crane is a variation of bridge crane, which is widely used in outdoor cargo yards and material yards of ports. It has a door-like frame structure, with two legs installed under the main beam, which can move on the ground track. This design allows the gantry crane to lift the main beam when not working, allowing vehicles or other mobile equipment to pass from below, thereby improving site utilization. It is an indispensable and important equipment in port cargo yards, and has become a key support for port logistics with its efficient operating capacity and good adaptability. Existing gantry cranes usually have two hooks on the crossbeam to improve work efficiency. The problem is that it is impossible to accurately judge the distance between the two hooks, which brings inconvenience to subsequent stacking. On the other hand, there is sliding friction between the support steel plate connecting the hook and the crossbeam, which wears the crossbeam and accelerates the consumption of parts.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating shaft of the roller is connected to the moving beam, and the roller rotates in the longitudinal groove while the rotating shaft of the roller moves in the transverse groove, which is used to reduce the friction with the slide groove, saving labor while improving work efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the first displacement sensor is arranged at the center of the square formed by the lifting rod, the bottom end of the lifting rod is connected to the base plate, and the hook is connected to the base plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the rails are two and are arranged in parallel and at intervals, and the rails are provided with upward protrusions, which extend along the longitudinal direction of the rails.
[0014] Further, the sliding bar is provided with a notch matching the protrusion of the track, so that the sliding bar slides along the track.

[0024] The support steel frame 3 is an isosceles trapezoid with a small top and a large bottom. The support steel frame 3 includes a first steel column 301 and a second steel column 302 fixed to the track 1. The top ends of the first steel column 301 and the second steel column 302 converge to form an isosceles trapezoid. In specific applications, since the support steel frame 3 is an isosceles trapezoid with a small top and a large bottom, the bottom of the support steel frame 3 is wider than the top, so that the support steel frame 3 provides a larger base area when bearing a heavy load, thereby lowering the center of gravity and increasing stability.
[0025] The connecting block 4 is connected between the first steel column 301 and the second steel column 302, and the connecting block 4 is parallel to the track 1. In a specific application, since the connecting block 4 is connected between the first steel column 301 and the second steel column 302 and is parallel to the track 1, the supporting steel frame 3 forms a closed loop as a whole, avoiding stress concentration when carrying heavy objects.
[0026] The two moving beams 6 are arranged in parallel and connected via a limit push rod 13, the limit push rod 13 is vertically connected to the moving beam 6, the limit push rod 13 can be, for example, a combination of two electric push rods, the sleeve parts of the two electric push rods are connected back to back, the two free ends of the electric push rods are respectively connected to the moving beam 6, and when the limit push rod 13 is working, the two moving beams 6 are pushed to move left and right.

The rotating shaft of the roller 7 is connected to the moving beam 6. The roller 7 rotates in the longitudinal groove 801 and the rotating shaft of the roller 7 moves in the transverse groove 802. In a specific application, since the openings of the slide grooves 8 of the cross beam 5 are opposite to each other, the slide grooves 8 are T-shaped grooves, and the slide grooves 8 include a longitudinal groove 801 and a transverse groove 802, the rotating shaft of the roller 7 is connected to the moving beam 6. The roller 7 rotates in the longitudinal groove 801 and the rotating shaft of the roller 7 moves in the transverse groove 802. In this way, the friction with the inner wall of the slide groove 8 is significantly reduced, and the thrust during the operation is reduced. At the same time, the transverse groove 802 plays a limiting role, so that the moving beam 6 moves quickly along the cross beam 5, saving effort while improving work efficiency.
[0028] There are four lifting rods 9, which are distributed in a square shape. For example, the lifting rods 9 can be electric lifting rods. In specific applications, since there are four lifting rods 9, which are distributed in a square shape, multiple lifting rods 9 can jointly bear the weight of the goods, disperse the load, and improve the carrying capacity.

The first displacement sensor 11 can be, for example, a laser displacement sensor. In a specific application, since the first displacement sensor 11 is arranged at the center of the square formed by the lifting rod 9, the bottom end of the lifting rod 9 is connected to the bottom plate 14, and the hook 10 is connected to the bottom plate 14, when the lifting rod 9 moves up and down, the first displacement sensor 11 measures the distance that the lifting rod 9 rises or falls, thereby accurately obtaining the vertical position of the goods.
[0030] The second displacement sensor 12 is at the same height as the moving beam 6. There are two second displacement sensors 12, which are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 4. The second displacement sensor 12 can be, for example, a laser displacement sensor. In a specific application, since there are two second displacement sensors 12, which are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 4, when the limit push rod 13 is horizontally pushed to the two moving beams 6 to move left and right, the second displacement sensor 12 respectively detects the moving distance of the two moving beams 6, thereby accurately obtaining the horizontal position of the goods.
