Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of double-box container spreaders for yard bridges, in particular to a container guiding auxiliary device for double-box container spreaders for yard bridges. Background Art

[0002] The number of automated yard cranes (tyre cranes, rail cranes) installed is increasing, and the trend towards unmanned operations in automated terminals is becoming increasingly apparent. At this stage, remote control technology is far from achieving the flexibility of manual operation, and the incomplete infrastructure of older terminals inevitably affects the hardware conditions of the site during operation. After years of use, ground subsidence is extremely common in many terminal container yards. When storing containers in locally overloaded areas, the verticality of the containers exceeds the allowable range of existing remote control technology, making it impossible for container hoists to successfully align the containers. This is especially true when lifting double 20-foot containers. After aligning them left and right based on the baseline, when lowering the container, the center lock often fails to align with the lock pin hole in the container's front and back directions due to the lack of a corresponding guide mechanism in the front and back directions. This requires repeated alignment, a flaw that cannot be concealed by the advanced equipment in automated terminals. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a container double-box crane crane guide auxiliary device 103 is an auxiliary device of the double-box crane crane 100, which is particularly used for guiding the front and rear sides of the container. It can be made of steel plates or metal plates, and can be formed by welding or connecting various components. It is arranged on the double-box crane crane center lock 101 and is used for auxiliary alignment of the crane crane center lock and the container hole. It includes a guide part and a mounting part detachably connected to the guide part. The mounting part is connected and fixed to the crane crane center lock 101. The crane crane center lock 101 has a center lock pin 102.

[0023] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the guide portion has a guide slope, which is opposite to the lock in the sling. The guide slope facilitates guidance during alignment. During guidance, the guide portion contacts the upper ends of the front and rear side surfaces of the container, and when continuing to move downward, it is stuck in the upper ends of the front and rear side surfaces of the container, thereby achieving positioning at the upper ends of the front and rear side surfaces of the container.

[0024] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the guide portion is below the bottom end of the middle lock pin 102 of the sling middle lock.

[0025] In one embodiment, each spreader center lock is equipped with one of the yard crane container double-box spreader box guiding auxiliary devices. There are four spreader center locks, two in the front and two in the back, which are symmetrically arranged. The corresponding double-box spreader box guiding auxiliary devices are four, one on each spreader center lock.

[0026] The mounting portion is connected to the center lock of the sling by welding, and specifically can be welded to the outer shell of the center lock of the sling.

[0027] In one embodiment, the mounting portion and the guide portion are connected via a pin 9. The guide portion is inserted into the mounting portion and connected via a pin after being sleeved. There are two pins 9, which are arranged spaced apart from each other. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting portion and the guide portion are penetrated and fixed together to form a double-box spreader box guiding auxiliary device.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 4As shown, the mounting portion is a shell, the lower end of which has an opening that can be inserted by the guide portion, and two side panels 3 are provided with pin holes. The two opposite side panels 3 are connected by a rear panel 1 and a front panel. The front panel is two, including an upper panel 2 arranged obliquely relative to the rear panel and a lower panel 4 arranged horizontally relative to the rear panel. The two are separated from each other, and the top of the side panel is connected to the front end through an inclined surface, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the upper plate and the lower plate are separated to form a hollow structure in the middle, which is convenient for using tools to connect the device to the sling center lock, such as welding.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 As shown, the guide portion includes two side panels 7, pin holes on the two side panels, and the two side panels are connected by a connecting plate 6, which is connected into two and vertically connected to the side panels, such as welding, and arranged separately up and down. The lower front end of the two side panels is connected to the front panel 8, and the rear end is connected to the rear panel 5.

[0030] Furthermore, among the connecting plates 6, one connecting plate is exposed, the upper end of the front panel is on the upper surface of the connecting plate 6 below, and is lower than the lower surface of the connecting plate above, and the length of the rear panel 5 is adapted to the rear end length of the side panel 7, fully covering the rear end of the side panel.

[0031] When in use, the yard crane moves to the predetermined position above the container, lowers the twin-lift spreader, and uses the guide plate of the twin-lift spreader itself to roughly align with the container so that the center lock of the spreader is above the container hole. The left and right ends of the twin-lift spreader are aligned with the twin-lift reference box. Then the twin-lift spreader is lowered. The guiding inclined surfaces of the guide auxiliary device contact the front and rear sides of the container. During the downward movement, the center lock of the spreader is automatically aligned with the container hole. The center lock pin 102 is locked, the spreader is lifted, and the container is lifted.

[0032] The utility model discloses a bridge container double box lifting gear box guide auxiliary device, which is fixed on the outside of the lifting gear's center lock. When the double box lifting gear lifts two boxes, it can assist the lifting gear's center lock to align with the box, making it convenient to insert the lifting gear's center lock into the box hole. It can solve the problem that the container lifting gear's box alignment work cannot be completed smoothly, and there is no need for repeated box alignment operations.

[0033] The basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.

[0034] Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
