[0002] Crane refers to an electromechanical equipment used for vertical lifting or vertical lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects. It is widely used in industrial production workshops. During the use of the crane, it is easily affected by factors such as the crane structure, trolley guide rail installation error, track beam stiffness, and civil foundation settlement, which can cause the crane to gnaw the rails.

[0003] Due to the rigid contact between the wheels and guide rails on the operating mechanism, the crane will chew the rails, causing wear of the guide rails and reducing the service life of the wheels, seriously affecting production efficiency. In order to minimize the probability of rail chewing, at least two horizontal guide wheels are provided on the operating mechanism, and the two horizontal guide wheels are respectively connected to the two sides of the guide rails in a rolling manner. In the prior art, the horizontal guide wheels are cylindrical or conical surfaces, which are in linear contact with the guide rails. During the installation of the guide wheels, high requirements are placed on the verticality of the guide wheel shaft and the parallelism of the two guide wheel shafts. If the structure is deformed after the bridge is loaded, it will be unfavorable for the guidance of the guide wheels and the guide rails, reducing the service life of the guide wheels and making rail chewing more likely to occur.

[0030] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 4 The specific embodiment of a walking device with a guiding function of the utility model shown in the figure comprises: a walking frame 1 and a mounting seat 2 symmetrically mounted on the walking frame 1, at least one wheel 3 rotatably mounted on the walking frame 1, a guide rail 4 arranged on the mounting platform, and at least two horizontal guide wheels 5 mounted on the mounting seat 2. In this embodiment, there are two horizontal guide wheels 5, which are respectively mounted on two mounting seats 2. The wheel 3 is matched with the upper end surface of the guide rail 4, and the two horizontal guide wheels 5 are respectively connected to the two sides of the guide rail 4 in a rolling manner. It should be emphasized that the wheel surface of the horizontal guide wheel 5 in this embodiment is a drum-shaped surface, which is in point contact with the two sides of the guide rail 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the horizontal guide wheels 5 are respectively located on both sides of the guide rail 4 to guide the travel direction of the wheel 3. The wheel surface of the horizontal guide wheel 5 cooperating with the guide rail 4 is set to a drum-shaped surface, abandoning the more conventional cylindrical guide wheel or conical guide wheel in the prior art, and changing the contact between the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the guide rail 4 from line contact to point contact. During installation, only the contact points of the two horizontal guide wheels 5 and the guide rail 4 need to correspond, and the requirements for the verticality of the axis of the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the parallelism of the two horizontal guide wheels 5 are not high. The design of the drum-shaped horizontal guide wheel 5 solves the problem in the prior art that the installation of the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the guide rail 4 is affected by installation errors and structural deformation, reduces the friction between the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the guide rail 4, greatly reduces the occurrence of rail gnawing, and extends the service life of the horizontal guide wheel 5, the wheel 3 and the guide rail 4.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide rail 4 includes a connecting portion 41, a supporting portion 42 and a matching portion 43 fixedly mounted on the mounting platform by a fastening mechanism 8; wherein the matching portion 43 includes a top matching end surface matching with the wheel 3 and a side matching end surface matching with the horizontal guide wheel 5. It should be further explained that the top matching end surface can be a plane or an arc surface, and the side matching end surface can be a plane or an inclined surface, and the top matching end surface and the side matching end surface are adjusted according to the specific installation accuracy requirements.

[0034] As an implementation method, when the positioning accuracy of the wheel 3, the horizontal wire wheel and the guide rail 4 is required to be high, the top matching end surface of the guide rail 4 and the side matching end surfaces on both sides are processed and are both flat.

[0035] As another embodiment, when there is no requirement for the positioning accuracy of the wheel 3, the horizontal wire wheel and the guide rail 4, the guide rail 4 is not processed, the top mating end face of the guide rail 4 is an arc-shaped surface, and the side mating end faces on both sides of the guide rail 4 are inclined surfaces.

[0036] In order to adapt to different usage scenarios and different requirements, the horizontal guide wheel 5 in this embodiment is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame through the mounting shaft and the bearing 7, and the mounting shaft adopts the eccentric shaft 6. The horizontal guide wheel 5 adjusts the distance L between the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the guide rail 4 according to the eccentricity of the eccentric shaft 6, where 0≤L≤10mm. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the setting of the eccentric shaft 6 in this embodiment allows the gap L between the horizontal guide wheel 5 and the guide rail 4 to be adjusted according to the accuracy requirements. In combination with the guide rail 4 that has been processed on both sides, that is, the side matching end faces on both sides of the guide rail 4 are processed to be flat, it is suitable for places that require higher positioning accuracy.

[0037] Reference Figure 4The fastening mechanism 8 in this embodiment includes a base 81 fixedly arranged on the mounting platform, a fastening plate 82 fastened on the base 81 by bolts and nuts; the fastening plate 82 is pressed on the connecting portion 41 of the guide rail 4. It should be understood that the above-mentioned fastening mechanism 8 is a preferred embodiment for mounting the guide rail 4 on the mounting platform, and fastening mechanisms 8 of other structures may also be used. The specific structure of the fastening mechanism 8 is not absolutely limited here. Specifically, the mounting platform in this embodiment may be a workshop floor or other platform where a crane needs to be installed.

[0038] The crane based on the above-mentioned traveling device includes a main beam, a guide side running mechanism installed at both ends of the main beam, and a non-guide side running mechanism. The guide side running mechanism in this embodiment includes an end beam and a traveling device installed at both ends of the end beam. It should be further explained that in this embodiment, the two traveling devices include the same guide rail 4, and each traveling device includes two horizontal guide wheels 5 respectively located on both sides of the guide rail 4 for guiding with the guide rail 4 to achieve the guiding effect of the crane operation. It should be understood that providing a traveling device at both ends of the end beam is only a more preferred solution of the utility model. There is no absolute limitation on how many of the above-mentioned traveling devices are provided on the crane, and adjustments can be made according to specific usage scenarios and needs.

[0039] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Obvious changes or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
