DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] See also Figure 1-6 , this embodiment provides a positioning locking device for a modular crane, comprising a monorail trolley connecting mechanism 100 and a single beam connecting mechanism 200;
[0033] The monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 includes an end beam 110, a walking block 120 threadedly connected to the upper surface of the end beam 110, and the walking block 120 can be set on the two main beams of the modular crane and can slide on the main beams. There are also guide grooves 130 threadedly connected to the side surfaces of the end beam 110 and positioning grooves 140 threadedly connected to the lower surface of the end beam 110. The positioning grooves 140 are hollow structures with an open lower end. A positioning pin hole 141 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 140, and a locking assembly 150 is provided on the side of the positioning groove 140 near the positioning pin hole 141.
[0034] The single-beam connection mechanism 200 includes a crossbeam body 210, which can be vertically connected to the single beam of the modular crane, a guide wheel 220 threadedly connected to the lower surface of the crossbeam body 210, and an ear piece 230 threadedly connected to the upper surface of the crossbeam body 210. An ear piece pin hole 231 is provided on the ear piece 230, and the locking assembly 150 is connected to the ear piece pin hole 231 through the positioning pin hole 141, which is used to lock the monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 and the single-beam connection mechanism 200. During the rising process of the single beam, when the guide wheel 220 rises to the position of the lower end of the guide groove 130, the guide wheel 220 rolls into the guide groove 130. Since the guide groove 130 is fixed, the guide groove 130 limits the single-beam connection mechanism 200 from moving in the direction along the extension line of the single beam, thereby reducing the shaking of the single beam during disassembly and assembly.
[0035] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 150 includes a tail pin seat 151, which is fixed to the bottom wall of the locking assembly 150 and plays a fixing role. The tail pin seat 151 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 152 and the telescopic rod 153 extending from the electric push rod 152. The upper and lower inner walls of the locking assembly 150 are provided with a first support frame 154 and a second support frame 155. The electric push rod 152 is fixed through the first support frame 154, and the telescopic rod 153 can slide in the second support frame 155. The sliding direction Perpendicular to the extension direction of the second support frame 155, the telescopic rod 153 is fixedly connected to the stop block 156 in the direction away from the tail pin seat 151, and the stop block 156 is fixedly provided with a locking pin shaft 157 in the direction away from the tail pin seat 151. The locking pin shaft 157 is used to insert the positioning pin hole 141 and the ear pin hole 231. Under the action of the electric push rod 152, the telescopic rod 153 can be extended and retracted on the second support frame 155, thereby driving the stop block 156 and the locking pin shaft 157 to move in the direction of extension and retraction along the telescopic rod 153.
[0036] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 150 also includes a travel seat 158 arranged on the inner wall of the upper side of the locking assembly 150, a travel switch 159 connected to the pin of the travel seat 158, and a slide rail 1572 fixed to the inner wall of the bottom side of the locking assembly 150. The slide rail 1572 is used to prevent the extension shaft of the telescopic rod 153 from rotating during the extension process. A slider 1571 is also fixed on the bottom side of the locking pin 157. The slider 1571 can slide on the slide rail 1572 in the direction of extension of the telescopic rod 153. When the positioning pin hole 141 is not inserted, the travel switch 159 is in a vertical direction. When the locking pin 157 is inserted into the positioning pin hole 141, the locking pin 157 slides on the slide rail 1572 with the slider 1571 in the direction of the slide rail 1572. Under the limiting action of the block 156, the travel switch 159 forms a certain angle with the locking pin 157. The travel switch 159 is used to judge the extension and retraction status of the locking pin 157.
[0037] In this embodiment, a micro switch 142 is provided at the upper end of the positioning slot 140 to determine whether the locking pin 157 is accurately inserted into the ear pin hole 231. The micro switch 142 cooperates with the ear 230 to determine whether the ear pin hole 231 on the ear 230 is concentric with the locking pin 157, thereby determining whether the locking pin 157 is allowed to extend or retract.
[0038] In this embodiment, the monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 also includes a drum 160 and an electronic control system 170 for controlling the drum 160. A hoisting assembly 180 is arranged under the drum 160. When a single beam is not provided, the drum 160 retracts and extends the hoisting assembly 180 under the control of the electronic control system 170. The monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 can be used as a monorail trolley of a monorail crane.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 180 includes a lifting ring 181, a lifting rope 182 is arranged between the lifting ring 181 and the drum 160, a pin block 183 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the lifting ring 181, and a lifting pin hole 184 is provided on the pin block 183. When the monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 can be used as a monorail trolley of a monorail crane, the pin block 183 is used to connect objects that need to be lifted or lowered. When used in a modular crane, the pin block 183 is used to connect the single beam connection mechanism 200.
[0040] In this embodiment, a pin groove 240 is provided on the beam body 210, and a beam pin hole 250 is provided in the pin groove 240 perpendicular to the extension direction of the beam body 210. A beam pin shaft 260 is inserted into the beam pin hole 250 to connect the single beam connection mechanism 200 and the lifting assembly 180.
[0041] In this embodiment, a travel drive 190 is provided on the travel block 120 . Under the action of the travel drive 190 , the travel block 120 can drive the monorail trolley connection mechanism 100 to move on the main beam.
[0042] In this embodiment, an alignment module 191 is provided on the travel drive 190 , and the alignment module 191 is used to align the monorail trolley connection mechanisms 100 on the two main beams.
[0043] In this embodiment, the guide groove 130 is a trapezoidal groove, which allows the guide wheel 220 to first enter a wider groove body when entering the guide groove 130. During the slow upward process, the groove body becomes narrower, which has the effect of fine-tuning the position of the single beam.
[0044] When disassembling and assembling a single beam of a modular crane, the operating steps of the positioning locking device are as follows:
[0045] When the operator starts to assemble the single beam, the drum 160 releases the lifting rope 182 first, and the lifting components 180 on both sides of the main beam begin to descend. When the lifting components 180 descend to the position adapted to the single beam connection mechanism 200, the alignment module 191 will issue a command, the drum 160 stops releasing the lifting rope 182, and the single beam connection mechanism 200 uses the crossbeam pin 260 to insert the crossbeam pin hole 250 and the lifting pin hole 184 to connect with the lifting component 180 of the monorail trolley connection mechanism 100, and then the drum 160 starts to retract the lifting rope 182. When the position of the guide wheel 220 reaches the height of the guide groove 130, the guide wheel 220 enters the guide groove 130 and rolls. The lower end of the guide groove 130 is wider and the upper end is narrower. The position of the guide wheel 220 can be fine-tuned, and the guide groove 130 limits the single beam connection mechanism 200 from shaking. It continues to rise, and the ear piece 2 30 is inserted into the positioning slot 140. When the ear piece 230 reaches the top of the positioning slot 140, the travel switch 159 in the locking assembly 150 and the micro switch 142 in the positioning slot 140 will be triggered. After being triggered, the reel 160 will stop working, the lifting rope 182 will stop lifting, and the electric push rod 152 will push the telescopic rod 153 to move toward the positioning slot 140, driving the locking pin 157 to insert into the positioning pin hole 141 and penetrate into the ear piece pin hole 231 for locking. At this time, the single-beam connection mechanism 200 leads the single beam to stop at a fixed height, and the ear piece 230 and the locking pin 157 are in a concentric state. After the single beam is stable, the system determines that the locking is successful, and the reel 160 will release a small section of the lifting rope 182 to completely release the weight of the single beam to the positioning locking device of the main beam. The locking is successful. When it needs to be disassembled, the above steps can be reversed to complete the disassembly.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
