Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge positioning technology, and in particular to a bridge positioning device for bridge cranes. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge cranes are heavy-duty lifting equipment widely used in factories, warehouses, docks, and other locations. They mainly consist of a bridge frame, a lifting trolley, a traveling mechanism, and an electrical control system. Capable of three-dimensional material handling, they feature high lifting capacity, wide coverage, and flexible operation. Using a bridge positioning device allows for precise control of the crane's position, ensuring accurate material placement during lifting, reducing errors, and improving operational efficiency. It also enhances safety, preventing collisions or over-limit operation, and reducing accident risks. The positioning device can be integrated with automated control systems for automatic positioning and operation, reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency. Precise positioning reduces unnecessary movement and adjustments, lowering equipment wear and extending service life. In complex working conditions, the positioning device ensures stable crane operation and improves operational flexibility. Fast and accurate positioning shortens lifting time, improves overall operational efficiency, and reduces production costs. In short, bridge positioning devices significantly improve the operational efficiency, safety, and automation level of bridge cranes, making them suitable for various complex industrial scenarios.
[0003] Existing bridge cranes lack precise positioning control for the movement of the bridge frame and trolley, forcing operators to rely on experience and visual inspection to determine the position of the hook or grab, which is prone to errors. These errors are particularly noticeable when lifting precision equipment or materials requiring high-precision placement, potentially leading to material placement deviations, collisions, or even accidents. Furthermore, the lack of a positioning structure increases operational difficulty and reduces work efficiency. Especially in large workshops or warehouses, frequent adjustments and corrections further prolong lifting time and increase production costs. Therefore, a bridge frame positioning device for bridge cranes is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a bridge positioning device for bridge cranes, aiming to improve the problem that the existing technology lacks a structure for positioning the crane trolley, which leads to the bridge crane being unable to accurately reach the required lifting position when lifting goods.

A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting trolley. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate. A buffer assembly is installed on the lower surface of the connecting plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a telescopic rod and a spring. One end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate, the spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod, and the other end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a bracket via a hinge seat.
[0008] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the bridge sub-beam, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0009] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bridge sub-beam on the side away from the motor, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the support frame.
[0010] Furthermore, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the worm gear meshes with the worm.
[0011] Furthermore, a C-shaped frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating rod, and an anti-slip pad is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the C-shaped frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bracket is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the half gear, and the bracket is used to limit the movement of the half gear.
[0013] Furthermore, the rack is disposed on one side of the slide rail, and the rack is used to position the lifting trolley.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the connecting plate is moved by the hydraulic cylinder, thereby achieving the effect of driving the half gear to engage with the outside of the rack. At this time, the half gear is engaged and positioned along the rack. The meshing between the teeth achieves the effect of precise positioning. Furthermore, the buffer component reduces the movement force of the half gear, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the worm gear is driven to rotate by a motor, and then rotates by meshing with the worm wheel, thereby facilitating the rotation of the C-shaped frame on the outer wall of the rotating rod. The movement of the C-shaped frame then causes the anti-slip pad to contact the moving frame. The friction of the anti-slip pad facilitates further positioning, thus improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4A motor 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the cable tray sub-beam 5, and the motor 18 is used to provide power.

[0028] Working principle: When the positioning device is used to position the crane trolley 2, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is first started. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the half gear 13 to move closer to the rack 7, thereby facilitating the positioning of the half gear 13 by engaging it on the rack 7. Then, the half gear 13 drives the sliding rod 12 to slide on the inner wall of the housing 11, thereby facilitating the extension and retraction of the support 14 and the telescopic rod 16. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the spring 17 facilitates the reduction of the impact force of movement and achieves efficient positioning. When the movement of the bridge sub-beam 5 needs to be positioned, the motor 18 is started. The motor 18 drives the worm gear 19 to mesh and rotate with the worm wheel 21. The rotation of the worm wheel 21 then drives the C-shaped frame 23 to rotate. The movement of the C-shaped frame 23 then facilitates the positioning of the anti-slip pad 24.
