Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of track cleaning equipment, in particular to a track cleaning device for a gantry crane. Background Art

[0002] The gantry crane, commonly known as the gantry hoist, gantry crane. It is a pictorial term for a gantry crane, and actually it is just a gantry crane. Gantry cranes are generally used for project installations, such as large equipment, but require a wide site. Many times they are used to lift very heavy goods. As the name implies, its structure is like a gantry, with the track laid flat on the ground. In the old type, there are motors at both ends to drag the crane to move back and forth on the track. Many gantry cranes also use variable-frequency motors and servo drives for more accurate installation. A gantry crane is a common lifting machine, usually used for the loading, unloading and handling of goods outdoors or indoors. Its metal structure is similar to a portal frame, and there are two legs installed under the load-bearing main beam, which can walk directly on the ground track. The two ends of the main beam can have outstretched cantilever beams to cover a larger working area. Gantry cranes are widely used in port cargo yards, construction sites, factory workshops and other places, especially suitable for the loading and unloading operations of outdoor cargo yards, stockyards and bulk goods. In addition, they are also often used for the installation of large equipment and the handling of heavy goods.

[0003] The track of the gantry crane is an important component. During long-term use, sundries such as sand and gravel are likely to exist on the track, which requires regular cleaning by staff. After retrieval, the Chinese patent application number is: CN201810992140.X, which discloses a track groove wall cleaning device, including two track bodies. Brush blocks are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two track bodies. Springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the brush blocks. The ends of the springs far away from the brush blocks are fixedly connected to brush plates. Scrapers are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the brush blocks. Installation plates are fixedly connected to the tops of the two brush blocks. An adjustment component is fixedly connected between the two installation plates. A limiting rod is arranged between the two installation plates. Convex grooves are opened at the tops of the installation plates, and convex sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the convex grooves. This invention solves the problem that since the surface of industrial tracks often has particulate stains such as debris and dust, these particulate stains are likely to affect the detection results during the parallelism detection of industrial tracks, resulting in inaccurate detection effects.

[0004] The above technical solution can only clean concave tracks, while the tracks of gantry cranes are mostly convex tracks. In order to adapt to the convex gantry crane tracks, we need to propose a track cleaning device for gantry cranes. Summary of the Utility Model

The spray pipe 8 is arranged along the traveling direction. The water inlet end of the water pump 7 is connected with a water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe penetrates through the top plate 1, and the water inlet pipe is hermetically inserted into the water tank 6 and extends to the inner bottom of the water tank 6. The water outlet end of the water pump 7 is connected with a water outlet pipe, and the lower end of the water outlet pipe communicates with the spray pipe 8.

[0030] By arranging traveling wheels 3 at the bottom of the top plate 1, a push-pull rod 4 on one side of the top of the top plate 1, a baffle 5 at the front end of the bottom of the top plate 1, and a spraying mechanism including a water tank 6, a water pump 7 and a spray pipe 8 on one side of the baffle 5. During actual use, the staff moves the device to the gantry crane track through the push-pull rod 4 and the traveling wheels 3, and the track is located directly below the top plate 1. There is a small gap between the baffle 5 and the top of the track. Then, the device is moved along the track through the push-pull rod 4, and the baffle 5 can sweep away the sundries on the track.

[0031] At the same time, the water pump 7 works to pump the water in the water tank 6 and convey it to the spray pipe 8. The nozzles 9 at the bottom of the spray pipe 8 wash the track, and the fine soil and sand can be washed down, thus completing the cleaning of the convex track of the gantry crane.

[0032] Generally speaking, the structure of this device is simple and easy to use. First, the sundries on the track are swept away by the baffle 5, and then the track is washed by the spraying mechanism, which can play a good cleaning role for the convex track of the gantry crane and facilitate the normal operation of the gantry crane.

[0033] Among them, a control box is also arranged on one side of the top plate 1. The control box is internally provided with a storage battery and a control circuit board. The storage battery is used to supply power to the water pump 7 and the motor 13. The control circuit board is internally provided with a PLC controller. The control circuit of the PLC controller can be realized by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which belongs to the common knowledge in this field. And this application document is mainly used to protect the mechanical device, so the control method and circuit connection are not explained in detail in this application document. The control box is externally provided with control buttons for the staff to control the device switch.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to further improve the cleaning effect of this device, the following design is also made in this application. Please refer to Figure 1-3 ,

A motor 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the side plates 10, and the output end of the motor 13 is in shaft transmission connection with one end of the roller 11.

[0036] By arranging side plates 10 at the bottom of the top plate 1, a roller 11 driven by a motor 13 is rotatably installed between the side plates 10, and a brush 12 is arranged on the roller 11. During actual use, when the device is moved to the track, the brush 12 can contact the surface of the track. The cleaning mechanism is located on one side of the spraying mechanism. After the spraying mechanism finishes flushing, the motor 13 drives the roller 11 to rotate, and the brush 12 can clean the surface of the track, and can sweep away the soil and sand adhering to the track, further improving the cleaning effect of the device and having high practical value.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
