Detailed Implementation

[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a gantry crane with emergency braking capability includes a crane beam 1, a U-shaped frame 2 is provided at the bottom of the crane beam 1, a drive and travel structure is provided between the U-shaped frame 2 and the crane beam 1, an electric hoist 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2, and an emergency braking structure is provided on the outside of the U-shaped frame 2 and sleeved on the top of the crane beam 1.

[0023] Specifically, the emergency braking structure includes connecting side plates 4 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped frame 2. A horizontal plate 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the two connecting side plates 4. Two rectangular holes 6 are opened on the top of the horizontal plate 5. A supporting top frame 7 located outside the two rectangular holes 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 5. Two limiting crossbars 8 are fixedly installed inside the supporting top frame 7. Two clamping plates 9 are slidably installed outside the two limiting crossbars 8, extending to the bottom of the horizontal plate 5. The two clamping plates 9 are slidably installed inside the two rectangular holes 6 respectively. The two clamping plates 9 are... Carbon ceramic brake pads 10 are fixedly installed on both sides at the bottom of the horizontal plate 5. Cast iron plates 11 corresponding to the two carbon ceramic brake pads 10 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the crane beam 1. A motor 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 7. A drive shaft 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 12. The drive shaft 13 is rotatably installed on the top of the horizontal plate 5. A rotating plate 14 is fixedly installed on the outside of the drive shaft 13. Connecting rods 15 close to its left and right sides are rotatably installed on the bottom of the rotating plate 14. The two connecting rods 15 are also rotatably installed on the top of the two clamping plates 9 respectively.

[0024] In use, the electric hoist 3 is connected to the bottom of the crane beam 1 via the U-shaped frame 2. When the emergency braking structure stops, the U-shaped frame 2 and the electric hoist 3 can stop moving together. The two clamping plates 9 are restricted to slide inside the two rectangular holes 6 by the two limit crossbars 8. By controlling the motor 12 to drive the transmission shaft 13 and the rotating plate 14 to rotate forward, the two clamping plates 9 and the carbon ceramic brake pads 10 can be pulled closer to each other by the two connecting rods 15. By controlling the motor 12 to drive the transmission shaft 13 and the rotating plate 14 to rotate in the opposite direction, the two clamping plates 9 and the carbon ceramic brake pads 10 can be pushed further apart by the two connecting rods 15. In case of emergency braking, the motor 12 can be controlled to drive the transmission shaft 13 and the rotating plate 14 to rotate in the forward direction, causing the two carbon ceramic brake pads 10 to approach each other. When the two carbon ceramic brake pads 10 approach each other, they will rub against the two cast iron plates 11 respectively. At this time, the emergency braking structure at the top of the crane beam 1 can drive the U-shaped frame 2 and the electric hoist 3 to stop. When stopping, the wear rate is small, and compared with the existing technology, it achieves a durable effect. By controlling the motor 12 to drive the transmission shaft 13 and the rotating plate 14 to rotate in the reverse direction, the two carbon ceramic brake pads 10 will move away from each other, and the braking on the U-shaped frame 2 and the electric hoist 3 can be released.

[0025] Example 2, as Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 1, and its specific details are as follows:

[0026] The driving structure includes two racks 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the crane beam 1. A travel motor 17 is fixedly installed on the left side of the U-shaped frame 2. A gear set 18 meshing with the bottom of the two racks 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the travel motor 17. Four support rollers 19 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 2. The four support rollers 19 are paired up and rolled on the left and right inner bottom walls of the crane beam 1.

[0027] With this configuration, the U-shaped frame 2 is supported and restricted to slide stably at the bottom of the crane beam 1 by four support rollers 19. The traveling motor 17 drives the gear set 18 to rotate forward and backward at the bottom of the two racks 16, which allows the U-shaped frame 2 and the electric hoist 3 to move back and forth on the crane beam 1.

[0028] Example 3, as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 1, and its specific details are as follows:

[0029] The motor 12 is equipped with a corresponding controller, which is installed at the bottom of the crane beam 1 and communicates with the emergency stop button installed on the control console of the gantry crane.

[0030] With this setup, in the event of an emergency, the operator in the control room will quickly press the emergency stop button on the gantry crane control panel. This emergency stop button will send an emergency stop signal to the controller installed at the bottom of the crane beam 1, which is compatible with the motor 12. After receiving the signal, the controller will immediately send a working command to the motor 12, causing the gantry crane to stop running quickly.

[0031] Example 4, as Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 2, and its specific details are as follows:

[0032] The gear set 18 includes an output shaft fixedly mounted on the output end of the walking motor 17, the output shaft being rotatably mounted inside the U-shaped frame 2, and gears meshing with the bottom of two racks 16 being fixedly mounted on the outside of the output shaft.

[0033] With this setup, the output shaft is driven to rotate via gear set 18, and then the output shaft drives two gears to rotate.

[0034] Example 5, as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 1, and its specific details are as follows:

[0035] Two cast iron plates 11 are located below the two rectangular holes 6 respectively.

[0036] In this way, the purpose is that when the two carbon ceramic brake pads 10 are driven to approach by the clamping plate 9 sliding in the two rectangular holes 6, the two cast iron plates 11 can be precisely attached and rubbed.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model, and the ordinary skilled in the art can change, modify, replace and transform the above-mentioned embodiments within the scope of the utility model.
