Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a main beam structure of a open-web girder crane. Background Art
[0002] A crane is a general lifting device used for lifting, transporting, loading and unloading or installing materials. It has the characteristics of simple structure, reliability and large quantity. Among them, an open-web girder crane is a lifting device specially used for container handling, usually used in places such as ports and freight stations. The main beam of an open-web girder crane usually adopts a box girder structure. This structural design aims to provide sufficient strength and stiffness to support the working load of the crane and ensure its stability and safety during operation.
[0003] Since the box main beam is the main load-bearing part of the crane, the box main beam is undoubtedly the most important working part, which results in the box main beam accounting for 60% of the total mechanical weight and the cost also accounting for more than half of the total machine cost. For this reason, the patent authorization announcement number CN202116197U, announcement date January 18, 2012, discloses an open-web main beam structure of a new type of hoist double-girder crane. It is proposed in the text that "the H-shaped steel beam installed between the left end beam 1a and the right end beam 1b, multiple through holes 7 are opened on the web 3 of the H-shaped steel beam, square steel 11 is welded on the upper wing plate 8 of the H-shaped steel beam, the through holes 7 are arranged at uniform intervals in a row, and the through holes 7 are any one of a regular hexagon, a circle and a square". Although the mass of the main beam is reduced by this main beam, there are still the following deficiencies in actual use:
[0004] 1. Although the through holes on the web can reduce the weight of the main beam, when encountering strong winds, even if the through holes on both sides of the box main beam are arranged correspondingly, the air flow is still likely to form eddy currents inside the box main beam, thereby affecting the stability of the box main beam;
[0005] 2. Due to the lack of expansion and reinforcement structures at both ends of the box main beam, the structural strength of the end part of the box main beam is insufficient, and it is impossible to ensure its reliable and firm installation after being directly connected to the crane end beam;
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a main beam structure of an open-web girder crane that can overcome the above deficiencies. Summary of the Utility Model
[0007] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the background art, the utility model discloses a main beam structure of an open-web girder crane.

[0010] Further, the length of the hollow tube is greater than the distance between two corresponding through holes, and snap rings are provided on the outer edges of the two end ports of the hollow tube.
[0011] Further, the wall thickness of the hollow tube is less than the thickness of the web.
[0012] Further, the plurality of through holes on the web surface are arranged in a matrix, and two adjacent through holes up and down are arranged staggeredly.
[0013] Further, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the web surface, which are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the web and are arranged staggeredly with the through holes.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: By providing through holes, the weight of the web can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the box-type main beam;
[0018] By providing hollow tubes, not only can the through holes be effectively reinforced and supported, but also the airflow can be guided and discharged through the through holes and the hollow tubes in strong wind weather, avoiding the generation of eddy currents inside the box-type main beam in strong wind weather and affecting the stability of the box-type main beam;
[0019] By providing reinforcing ribs, the rigidity of the web can be enhanced, and the structural strength of the box-type main beam can be further improved.
[0020] By setting the end plate and the support block, not only can the end of the box girder be expanded and supported, further improving the structural strength of the end of the box girder, but also it provides convenience for the subsequent installation of the box girder.
[0021] The utility model can not only reduce the weight of the box girder on the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the box girder, but also effectively avoid the generation of eddy currents inside the box girder, providing strong support for the stable operation of the box girder; the structure of the utility model is simple, convenient for installation and use, providing strong support for the use and installation of the box girder.

[0028] Please refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] Example 1. The main beam structure of a belly beam crane includes an upper cover plate 1, a web 4, and a lower cover plate 6. The upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 6 are arranged opposite to each other up and down. A box-shaped main beam is formed by welding two parallel and corresponding webs 4 between the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 6. A plurality of openings 3 are provided on both webs 4, which are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the web 4 and penetrate the web 4. The plurality of openings 3 on the two webs 4 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. A hollow tube 8 that is adapted to the opening 3 and has an open structure at both ends is provided between two corresponding openings 3. In order to achieve the firm and stable installation of the hollow tube 8, the length of the hollow tube 8 is greater than the distance between two corresponding openings 3. The two ends of the hollow tube 8 respectively penetrate through the adjacent openings 3, and a retaining ring 7 is welded on the outer edge of the two ends of the hollow tube 8. In order to further reduce the weight of the web 4, the wall thickness of the hollow tube 8 is less than the thickness of the web 4.
[0030] Openings 10 are formed at both ends of the box-shaped main beam. End plates 2 are provided at both ends of the box-shaped main beam. A support block 9 that is inserted into the opening 10 and has an interference fit with the opening 10 is provided on the side of the end plate 2 facing the box-shaped main beam. By using the interference fit between the support block 9 and the opening 10, the structural stability of the end of the box-shaped main beam can be effectively enhanced. In order to achieve the installation of the end plate 2, a plurality of screws 15 arranged in the length direction of the web 4 are evenly distributed on the end faces of the two ends of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 6. A plurality of through holes 14 corresponding to the plurality of screws 15 on the end faces of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 6 are provided on the end plate 2. The end of the screw 15 passes through the through hole 14, and a nut 13 is provided at its end. In order to prevent the end of the screw 15 and the nut 13 from affecting the installation of the box-shaped main beam in the future, a sinking groove 12 is provided at the end of the through hole 14 far from the web 4.
