Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of portal cranes, and particularly relates to a portal crane wire rope winding structure and a portal crane using the same. Background Art

[0002] A gantry crane is a jib-type crane whose bridge is supported on a ground track or foundation by legs on both sides, and is one of the general cranes at the front of the dock.

[0003] Currently, existing gantry cranes can be categorized by boom structure type into four-link combination boom gantry cranes and single-boom gantry cranes. Single-boom gantry cranes commonly utilize a pulley system to compensate for height differences during luffing. To facilitate the layout of the wire rope winding system, the wire rope is typically routed around the column guide pulley, then directly through the boom compensating pulley, and then back to the column compensating pulley between the column guide pulley and the boom compensating pulley before being connected to the hook.

[0004] However, the existing wire rope winding system still has certain defects in designing the position of the pulley block and winding the wire rope: when winding the wire rope, the existing wire rope winding system often bends the wire rope in opposite directions at different positions, thereby increasing the fatigue and wear of the wire rope during long-term use, thereby reducing the service life of the wire rope. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a new type of gantry crane wire rope winding structure and a gantry crane using the same, so that the fatigue and wear of the wire rope can be reduced during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the wire rope and reducing the cost of port equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, the utility model provides a wire rope winding structure of a gantry crane, which includes at least one group of winding units, wherein the winding unit includes a drum, a column guide pulley and a column compensating pulley arranged on the crane column, and a boom guide pulley and a boom compensating pulley arranged on the boom, the column compensating pulley is located on the side of the boom compensating pulley close to the column guide pulley, and the boom guide pulley is located on the side of the column guide pulley close to the boom compensating pulley; one end of the wire rope is fixed on the drum, and the other end is connected to the sling after passing through the column guide pulley, the boom compensating pulley, the column compensating pulley, and the boom guide pulley in turn, and the winding direction of the wire rope at the column guide pulley, the boom compensating pulley, the column compensating pulley and the boom guide pulley is all clockwise, or the winding direction of the wire rope at the column guide pulley, the boom compensating pulley, the column compensating pulley and the boom guide pulley is all counterclockwise. In this way, it can not only maintain the stability of the height of the hoisted cargo by changing the length of the wire rope caused by the relative position change between the column compensation pulley and the boom guide pulley during the boom amplitude change process, but also ensure that the wire rope bends in the same direction through the above-mentioned wire rope winding arrangement method, avoiding the reverse bending of conventional multi-rate wire ropes at the corresponding positions, thereby improving the fatigue life of the wire rope.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the column compensation pulley is higher or lower than the height of the column guide pulley, so as to facilitate the winding of the wire rope and effectively reduce the possibility of the wire rope being knotted.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the boom guide pulley is higher or lower than the boom compensation pulley, so as to facilitate the winding of the wire rope and effectively reduce the possibility of the wire rope being tangled.

[0009] Furthermore, the column guide pulley, the arm compensation pulley, the column compensation pulley and the arm guide pulley are all fixed pulleys.

[0010] Furthermore, the steel wire rope is a compacted strand steel wire rope, which can ensure that the steel wire rope has higher strength and wear resistance.

[0011] On the other hand, the utility model also provides a gantry crane using the above-mentioned gantry crane wire rope winding structure, which includes a crane body, on which the above-mentioned gantry crane wire rope winding structure is installed, and the above-mentioned structure can be used to achieve amplitude compensation.

[0012] Furthermore, the crane body includes a slewing mechanism, a turntable is installed at the power output end of the slewing mechanism, a boom is rotatably installed on the upper part of the turntable, and the boom is connected to a lifting mechanism; a column is fixedly installed on the upper part of the turntable, a luffing mechanism is connected between the middle part of the column and the middle part of the boom, a balance beam is rotatably installed on the upper part of the column, one end of the balance beam is provided with a counterweight block, the other end of the balance beam is hinged to a pull rod, and the end of the pull rod away from the balance beam is hinged to the middle part of the boom. When working in this way, the utility model can drive the boom to move through the luffing rack in the luffing mechanism to achieve the change of the crane operating amplitude; at the same time, the boom can also drive the balance beam to move through the pull rod to balance the torque of the boom on the lower hinge point of the boom during the luffing process, thereby optimizing the force on the boom; and the height change of the counterweight block provided at the balance beam keeps the overall center of gravity of the upper moving component stable, thereby significantly reducing the load of the luffing motor, achieving the purpose of energy saving, efficiency reduction and cost control.

[0013] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has the following advantages: it can maintain the stability of the height of the hoisted cargo by changing the length of the wire rope caused by the relative position change between the column compensation pulley and the boom guide pulley during the boom amplitude change process, and can ensure that the wire rope is bent in the same direction through the above-mentioned wire rope winding arrangement method, avoiding the reverse bending of conventional multi-rate wire ropes at the corresponding position, thereby improving the fatigue life of the wire rope.
