Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane accessories technology, and in particular to a track cleaning mechanism for a bridge crane. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge cranes are lifting equipment that spans across workshops, warehouses, and material yards for material handling. Both ends are supported by tall concrete pillars or metal supports. The bridge frame of the bridge crane runs longitudinally along the rails laid on the elevated structures on both sides, making full use of the space under the bridge frame to lift materials without being obstructed by ground equipment. The rail cleaning mechanism can regularly clean debris, dust, and oil stains from the rail surface to reduce frictional resistance during crane operation and ensure stable operation and safety.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN221157791U" mentions "This utility model provides a track cleaning mechanism for a bridge crane, including a trough-shaped support. One end of the trough-shaped support is provided with a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with several mounting holes. The width of the trough-shaped support is greater than the width of the I-beam track. Several support plates are respectively provided on both sides of the trough-shaped support. The upper ends of each support plate extend to the middle sides of the I-beam track. Each support plate is provided with a mounting seat at its upper end. Each mounting seat is equipped with a rotating shaft, and each rotating shaft is equipped with a transmission sprocket. The transmission sprockets are connected to a drive motor. The transmission sprockets are connected to each other by a transmission chain, and several scrapers are provided on the transmission chain. This track cleaning mechanism for a bridge crane has a simple structure and reasonable design, and is convenient for cleaning the I-beam tracks of cranes." In use, the track cleaning mechanism can be installed on the crane's trolley. The trolley moves along the I-beam track, and the cleaning mechanism cleans the lower flange of the I-beam track to ensure smooth crane operation. During use, the trolley moves along the I-beam track to a certain position and stops. The height of the track cleaning mechanism is adjusted by the electric telescopic component so that the scraper contacts the lower flange of the I-beam track. Then, the drive motor is started to drive the transmission chain, thereby moving the scraper to clean the lower flange of the I-beam track. In addition, a trough-shaped support is set up so that debris falling from the I-beam track during the cleaning process can fall into the trough of the trough-shaped support. However, although the sharp edge of the scraper can effectively remove debris, improper operation or excessive use may cause scratches or damage to the track surface, thereby affecting the service life and safety of the track.

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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a track cleaning mechanism for a bridge crane, including a main body 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2, wherein the cleaning mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom end of the main body 1;

[0024] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a drive assembly 21, a displacement assembly 22, a connecting assembly 23, and a cleaning assembly 24. The drive assembly 21 is installed at the bottom of the main body 1, the displacement assembly 22 is installed inside the drive assembly 21, the connecting assembly 23 is installed on one side of the main body 1, and the cleaning assembly 24 is installed at one end of the connecting assembly 23.

[0025] Furthermore, the drive assembly 21 includes a support arm 211 and a drive motor 212. The support arm 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main body 1, and the drive motor 212 is installed on one side of the support arm 211. The support arm 211 provides certain support, and the drive motor 212 drives the drive shaft 221 to rotate.

[0026] Furthermore, the displacement assembly 22 includes a drive shaft 221 and a friction wheel 222. One end of the drive motor 212 is keyed to the drive shaft 221, and the friction wheel 222 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 221. The rotation of the drive shaft 221 drives the friction wheel 222 to roll on the track surface, thereby causing the device to move.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting component 23 includes a connecting rod 231 and a roller 232. The connecting rod 231 is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1, and the roller 232 is installed on the inner side of the main body 1. During the movement, the roller 232 provides lateral rolling to reduce friction damage.

[0028] Furthermore, the cleaning component 24 includes a C-shaped pressure plate 241 and a sponge pad 242. One end of the connecting rod 231 is screwed to the C-shaped pressure plate 241, and the sponge pad 242 is glued to one side of the C-shaped pressure plate 241. Cleaning agent is sprayed onto the sponge pad 242. The sponge pad 242, which is squeezed by the C-shaped pressure plate 241, cleans surface debris through friction with the track. The C-shaped pressure plate 241 is detachable by screws to facilitate the replacement of the overused sponge pad 242.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 2 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, the top of the main body 1 is equipped with an extension component 3. The extension component 3 includes a slider 31 and a sliding rod 32. The top of the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the slider 31, and the inner side of the slider 31 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 32 through a slot. The two sets of main bodies 1 adjust the distance between them by the displacement of the slider 31 on the sliding rod 32, so that the two sets of cleaning mechanisms 2 can form a stable sliding structure on the track.

[0031] Furthermore, an auxiliary component 4 is installed at the top of the slider 31. The auxiliary component 4 includes a linkage block 41 and an electric telescopic rod 42. The linkage block 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 31. An electric telescopic rod 42 is installed on one side of the linkage block 41. The electric telescopic rod 42 is fixed on the sliding rod 32. The linkage block 41 is moved by the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 42, thereby causing the slider 31 to move.

[0032] Working principle: First, the track cleaning mechanism of a bridge crane is moved to the working position. In use, the first step is that the electric telescopic rod 42 is fixed on the sliding rod 32. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 42 drives the linkage block 41 to move, thereby causing the slider 31 to move. The second step is that the two main bodies 1 adjust the distance by the displacement of the slider 31 on the sliding rod 32, and the two cleaning mechanisms 2 move inward, so that the two opposing rollers 232 abut against the track surface. The third step is that the drive motor 212 drives the drive shaft 221 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 221 drives the friction wheel 222 to roll on the track surface, thereby causing the device to move. During the movement, the roller 232 provides lateral rolling to reduce friction damage. The fourth step is that the cleaning agent is sprayed on the sponge pad 242. The sponge pad 242, which is squeezed by the C-shaped pressure plate 241, cleans the surface debris by friction with the track. The C-shaped pressure plate 241 is convenient to replace the overused sponge pad 242 with detachable screws. This completes the use process of the track cleaning mechanism of a bridge crane.
