AI Technical Summary
Existing monorail crane switches are very prone to derailment when changing tracks, resulting in safety problems.
A single-rail crane switch including a frame, switch connection plate, straight track, offset track, left-turn track and right-turn track was designed. It is fixedly suspended through the switch connection plate, and is opened when the offset track is swinged by a track stopper to ensure that the locomotive does not slip. The angle between the left-turn track and the right-turn track is 15.5°.
It improves the safety of monorail cranes when passing through switches, prevents derailment events, and ensures the stability and safety of transportation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of monorail cranes, and particularly relates to a turnout for a monorail crane. Background Art
[0002] When transporting goods and personnel in special occasions such as coal mine roadways, highway tunnels, and railway tunnels, a monorail crane is often used. The main advantages of monorail crane transportation are as follows: First, the cross-section of the monorail crane itself is small, and the utilization rate of the roadway section space is high; Second, it can be used for continuous non-transfer transportation in level roads and inclined roads. Its transportation load is not restricted by the floor conditions and can run on various vertical curves, horizontal curves, and complex curves; Third, it can complete the auxiliary transportation from the mining area yard to the working face without transfer and can be used for the auxiliary transportation operation connecting the main transportation roadway and the mining area roadway. When the monorail crane is used underground, a turnout device is often required so that the monorail crane can reach more places. However, when the existing monorail turnout device changes the track, derailment events are extremely likely to occur. Therefore, the utility model proposes a safer and more reliable turnout for a monorail crane. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a turnout for a monorail crane, and its purpose is to solve problems such as the monorail turnout being extremely likely to derail.
[0004] In order to achieve the above utility model purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A turnout for a monorail crane includes a frame. Turnout connecting plates are fixedly welded at the four corners of the frame. One side of the bottom of the frame is provided with a straight track, one side of the straight track is provided with an offset track, and the side of the offset track away from the straight track is provided with a left-turn track and a right-turn track. A track arrester is provided on the side of the frame close to the straight track.
[0006] Further, one end of the offset track is hinged to the straight track, and the end of the offset track away from the straight track can be respectively lapped with the left-turn track and the right-turn track.
[0007] Further, the included angle between the left-turn track and the right-turn track is 15.5°.
[0008] Further, the straight track, the left-turn track, and the right-turn track are respectively fixedly welded to the frame.
[0009] Further, reinforcing angle steels are fixedly connected between the frame and the turnout connecting plates.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0011] A switch for a monorail crane of the present utility model. The switch connecting plate plays a fixing role, which can ensure that the switch will not fall when it is suspended. The track arrester will only open when the offset track swings to a certain position, which can ensure that the locomotive will not run away. This connection method greatly improves the safety of the monorail crane when passing through the switch. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] Figure 1 It is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the present utility model.
[0013] List of reference numerals in the drawings:
[0014] 1. Frame; 2. Switch connecting plate; 3. Straight track; 4. Offset track; 5. Left-turn track; 6. Right-turn track; 7. Track arrester; 8. Reinforcing angle steel. SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
[0015] The following will further illustrate the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0016] It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific component respectively.
[0017] In order to make the content of the present utility model easier to be clearly understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0018] As Figure 1 shown, a switch for a monorail crane includes a frame 1. Switch connecting plates 2 are fixedly welded at the four corners of the frame 1. A reinforcing angle steel 8 is fixedly connected between the frame 1 and the switch connecting plates 2. The switch connecting plates 2 play a fixing role, which can ensure that the switch will not fall when it is suspended.
[0019] On one side of the bottom of the frame 1, there is a straight track 3. On one side of the straight track 3, there is an offset track 4. On the side of the offset track 4 away from the straight track 3, there are a left-turn track 5 and a right-turn track 6. The straight track 3, the left-turn track 5 and the right-turn track 6 are respectively fixedly welded to the frame 1. The included angle between the left-turn track 5 and the right-turn track 6 is 15.5°. One end of the offset track 4 is hinged to the straight track 3, and the end of the offset track 4 away from the straight track 3 is driven by a cylinder (not shown in the figure) and can be respectively lapped with the left-turn track 5 and the right-turn track 6.
[0020] On one side of the frame 1 close to the straight track 3, there is a track car arrester 7. The track car arrester 7 can be directly purchased on the market and will not be elaborated here. The track car arrester 7 opens when the offset track 4 overlaps with the left-turn track 5 or the right-turn track 6. When the offset track 4 swings left or right, the track car arrester 7 is in a closed state to ensure that the locomotive will not roll away.
[0021] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the utility model patent and are not intended to limit the utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model patent shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model patent.
