Detailed implementation manners

[0027] The following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present utility model can be implemented in many different ways defined and covered by the following.

[0028] Please refer to together Figures 1 to 6, the automatic anchoring device for the trolley of the gantry crane in this embodiment includes a cross beam 100, a hoisting trolley 1 disposed on the cross beam 100, and a stop 2. An anchoring seat 11 is disposed on the hoisting trolley 1, a bracket 21 is disposed on the stop 2, a linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22 and an anchoring plate 23 adapted to the anchoring seat 11 are disposed on the bracket 21. A buckle 231 is disposed on the first end of the anchoring plate 23, the second end of the anchoring plate 23 is hinged to the linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22, and the middle of the anchoring plate 23 is hinged to the bracket 21 through a first pin shaft 232. The linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22 drives the anchoring plate 23 to swing back and forth around the first pin shaft 232, so as to realize the locking / unlocking of the buckle 231 to the anchoring seat 11.

[0029] For the automatic anchoring device for the trolley of the gantry crane in this embodiment, the hoisting trolley 1 can move along the cross beam 100. A stop 2 is arranged at the end of the cross beam 100, and a bracket 21 is arranged on the stop 2. The anchoring plate 23 is hinged to the bracket 21 through a first pin shaft 232. When the hoisting trolley 1 approaches the stop 2, the linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22 drives the anchoring plate 23 to swing around the first pin shaft 232, so that the buckle 231 on the anchoring plate 23 locks / unlocks the anchoring seat 11. Its structure is simple, and automatic anchoring can be realized through the button operation in the driver's cab. Its operation is convenient, which can reduce the labor intensity and eliminate potential safety hazards.

[0030] In this embodiment, the linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22 is any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a sliding lead screw driven by a motor, or a ball screw driven by a motor. Its structure is simple, and it can be operated through the button in the driver's cab, and the operation is convenient. Optionally, the linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a sliding lead screw driven by a motor. The lifting and resetting processes of the anchoring plate 23 both need to be driven by the linear expansion and contraction mechanism 22.

[0031] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the linear telescopic mechanism 22 is a ball screw driven by a motor. It includes a motor 221, a screw rod 222 driven by the motor 221, a ball nut 223 movably disposed on the screw rod 222, and a spring 224 sleeved on the screw rod 222 for driving the ball nut 223 to reset. The motor 221 is hinged to the bracket 21 through a second pin shaft 225. The ball nut 223 is hinged to the second end of the anchor plate 23 through a third pin shaft 234. The two ends of the spring 224 are respectively connected to the ball nut 223 and the stopper 2. When the anchor plate 23 needs to be lifted, the screw rod 222 driven by the motor 221 rotates. The downward force exerted by the rotation of the screw rod 222 on the ball nut 223 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 224 pushing the ball nut 223 upward, so that the ball nut 223 moves downward, thereby driving the anchor plate 23 to swing around the first pin shaft 232, making one end of the anchor plate 23 provided with the buckle 231 lift. When the anchor plate 23 resets, the motor 221 stops rotating, and the downward force exerted by the rotation of the screw rod 222 on the ball nut 223 disappears. The elastic force of the spring 224 pushing the ball nut 223 upward drives the ball nut 223 to reset. Its structure is ingenious, and the motor 221 does not need to work during the reset process, which can save energy.

[0032] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, a positioning groove 111 is provided on the anchor base 11. A guiding surface 233 for guiding the buckle 231 into the positioning groove 111 is provided at one end of the buckle 231 close to the anchor base 11. Its structure is simple. The linear telescopic mechanism 22 does not need to drive during the automatic anchoring process. The anchor plate 23 is automatically lifted under the guidance of the guiding surface 233, which can save energy. During the automatic anchoring process, the hoisting trolley 1 moves towards the stopper 2, as Figure 6 (a) shown; until the anchor base 11 contacts the guiding surface 233, as Figure 6 (b) shown; the hoisting trolley 1 continues to move towards the stopper 2. Due to the guidance of the guiding surface 233, the anchor plate 23 is gradually lifted, as Figure 6 (c) shown; the hoisting trolley 1 continues to move towards the stopper 2, the buckle 231 enters the positioning groove 111, the anchor plate 23 locks the anchor base 11, and the hoisting trolley 1 stops moving, as Figure 6 (d) shown.

[0033] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, adjustment pads 112 for connecting the hoisting trolley 1 are arranged on the anchoring base 11; the bottom surface of the anchoring base 11 is connected to the top surface of the hoisting trolley 1 through the adjustment pads 112. By increasing or decreasing the thickness of the adjustment pads 112, the height difference between the anchoring base 11 and the bottom surface of the buckle 231 can be adjusted, so that the buckle 231 can be smoothly inserted into the positioning groove 111 to achieve automatic anchoring. Optionally, the side surface of the anchoring base 11 is connected to the side surface of the hoisting trolley 1 through the adjustment pads 112. By increasing or decreasing the thickness of the adjustment pads 112, the length of the anchoring base 11 protruding in the horizontal direction can be adjusted to prevent the anchoring base 11 from colliding with the bracket 21 and being damaged.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a buffer 3 is arranged on the hoisting trolley 1. The buffer 3 faces the stop 2, and the length of the buffer 3 protruding in the horizontal direction is greater than the length of the anchoring base 11 protruding, which can prevent the anchoring base 11 from colliding with the bracket 21 and being damaged, and ensure the normal operation of the automatic anchoring device for the gantry crane trolley; it can be understood that the buffer 3 can also be arranged on the stop 2, which can also prevent the anchoring base 11 from colliding with the bracket 21 and being damaged.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a first limit switch 113 for sensing the horizontal position of the anchor plate 23 is arranged on the anchoring base 11. During use, the anchoring range value can be preset. When the first limit switch 113 senses that the horizontal position of the anchor plate 23 reaches within the anchoring range, the first limit switch 113 can send a signal to the controller, and the controller sends a control signal to stop the movement of the hoisting trolley 1, thereby automatically preventing the hoisting trolley 1 from hitting the stop 2.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a second limit switch 114 for sensing the vertical position of the anchor plate 23 is arranged on the anchoring base 11; through the cooperation of the first limit switch 113 and the second limit switch 114, fault diagnosis can be carried out. For example, when loosening the anchor, if the first limit switch 113 senses that the horizontal position of the anchor plate 23 is within the anchoring range, and the vertical position of the second limit switch 114 to the anchor plate 23 has not changed, it indicates that there is a fault in the linear telescopic mechanism 22 and it needs to be repaired.

[0037] In this embodiment, a protective cover for protecting the linear telescopic mechanism 22 is arranged on the bracket 21. On the one hand, it can prevent the linear telescopic mechanism 22 from receiving external impacts and ensure the normal operation of the automatic anchoring device for the gantry crane trolley; on the other hand, it can prevent rainwater erosion and dust contamination to extend the service life of the linear telescopic mechanism 22.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
