Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of protection technology for electric double girder bridge cranes, and particularly relates to a plug-in safety guardrail for electric double girder bridge cranes. Background Technology

[0002] In metal smelting enterprises, medium and large-sized electric double-girder overhead cranes used for liquid lifting have trolley lifting mechanisms mounted on rails 200mm from the edges of the two main beams. These mechanisms, connected by wire ropes and hooks or a balance beam, move the load up, down, or laterally between the two main beams. This creates a large gap between the two main beams. To avoid affecting the lateral movement of the trolley lifting mechanism, safety railings were only installed on the outer side of the main beams according to safety standards, leaving the inner side without any safety protection. Since the top of these liquid lifting cranes is typically over 10 meters above the ground, this creates a dangerous environment for working at great heights. The lack of safety railings and other effective safety measures during emergency repairs significantly increases the risk of accidents. The risk of fall injuries to workers is high, easily leading to accidents. Typically, temporary on-site fabrication is used to create one-time protective measures. This process is labor-intensive, difficult, and time-consuming. In emergencies, time becomes even more critical. The repeated installation and removal of safety measures during multiple work periods not only wastes materials but also consumes significant maintenance time. Most temporary safety devices are simple measures implemented in emergency situations, often fabricated based on work experience without rigorous professional design, review, and optimization. These temporary safety devices are prone to inadequacies and serious defects, ensuring that high-altitude work still carries a potential high risk.

[0003] Considering the operational characteristics of the trolley lifting mechanism of medium and large-sized electric double-girder bridge cranes and the high risk of falls from heights, it is necessary to implement effective temporary safety protection measures to eliminate the risks faced by personnel working at extremely high heights during temporary and emergency maintenance, thereby mitigating the conflict between production and safety. Specifically:

[0004] 1. It is necessary to address the risk of falls from heights for workers during temporary or emergency work along the track edge to prevent injuries from falls from heights;

[0005] 2. It is necessary to resolve the contradiction between the lateral movement of the trolley lifting mechanism and safety protection, so as to achieve both the normal operation of the trolley lifting mechanism and the improvement of safety performance during temporary operations;

[0006] 3. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of high-altitude operations, reduce the processing and handling time spent on processing temporary protective measures during high-altitude operations, reduce ineffective work in the maintenance process, and improve work efficiency;

[0007] 4. It is necessary to avoid material waste caused by repeated processing of safety measures for high-altitude operations, improve the reuse rate of protective devices, and achieve the goal of completing the work in one go and using it for a long time;

[0008] 5. The temporary safety protection devices need to be standardized in manufacturing to increase their versatility and safety, and reduce processing difficulty and cost;

[0009] 6. It is necessary to address the potential hazards and fall-from-height accidents caused by the non-standard processing and manufacturing of temporary safety devices, and to process and manufacture safety emergency protection devices according to design standards to improve the reliability of temporary safety protection devices, reduce potential hazards of temporary safety devices, and eliminate fall-from-height accidents.

[0045] The top of one side of the gravity eccentric piece 12 has a 45-degree slope and the bottom of the same side has an arc-shaped chamfer. The slope of the gravity eccentric piece 12 matches the slope of the main pin 8.

[0046] The connecting rod 2 is cylindrical, and a retaining ring 13 is provided in the middle part of the connecting rod 2. A through strip hole 14 is provided on the connecting rod 2 on one side of the retaining ring 13.

[0047] The base fixing rod 4 is in the shape of a round tube. The inner diameter of the base fixing rod 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 2. Triangular rib plates 15 are welded on both sides of the base fixing rod 4. A through hole 16 is provided on the upper part of the base fixing rod 4. The diameter of the through hole 16 is the width of the strip hole 14.

[0048] The upright 1 is in the shape of a cylindrical tube, and the inner diameter of the upright 1 is the same as the inner diameter of the base fixing rod 4. The end of the connecting rod 2 away from the strip hole 14 is inserted into and welded to the bottom end of the upright 1. The end of the upright 1 with the strip hole 14 of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the base fixing rod 4, and the strip hole 14 is connected to the through hole 16 on the base fixing rod 4. The self-locking pin 3 passes through the through hole 16 and the strip hole 14 to movably connect the upright 1 and the base fixing rod 4. The tube support 5 is U-shaped, and the opening of the U-shaped structure of the tube support 5 faces upward. A through hole 16 is opened on the top of the tube support 5, and the diameter of the through hole 16 on the tube support 5 is the same as the diameter of the through hole 16 on the base fixing rod 4.

[0049] The fixed crossbar 6 is in the shape of a round tube. The inner diameter of the fixed crossbar 6 is the same as the inner diameter of the base fixing rod 4. Both ends of the fixed crossbar 6 are provided with through holes 16. The diameter of the through holes 16 on the fixed crossbar 6 is the same as the diameter of the through holes 16 on the base fixing rod 4. The through hole 16 at one end of the fixed crossbar 6 is aligned with the through hole 16 on the tube support 5 and is connected to the self-locking pin 3.

[0050] The movable crossbar 7 is in the shape of a cylindrical tube. The inner diameter of the movable crossbar 7 is the same as that of the fixed crossbar 6. One end of the movable crossbar 7 has a through hole 16. The diameter of the through hole 16 on the movable crossbar 7 is the same as that on the fixed crossbar 6. The through hole 16 on the movable crossbar 7 is aligned with the through hole 16 on the tube support 5 and a self-locking pin 3 passes through it. The end of the connecting rod 2 away from the strip hole 14 is inserted into and welded to the end of the movable crossbar 7 away from the through hole 16. The movable crossbar 7 is inserted into the fixed crossbar 6 through the end of the connecting rod 2 with the strip hole 14. The strip hole 14 is connected to the through hole 16 on the base fixing rod 4. The self-locking pin 3 passes through the through hole 16 on the movable crossbar 7 and the strip hole 14 of the connecting rod 2 to movably connect the movable crossbar 7 and the fixed crossbar 6.

[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0052] like Figure 10As shown, during use, the base fixing rod 4 is welded to the main beam 17 between the track 18 and the trolley body 19. When the trolley is running normally, the upright 1, fixed crossbar 6, and movable crossbar 7 are removed. When temporary protection is needed, the end of the upright 1 with the slotted hole 14 of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the base fixing rod 4, and a self-locking pin 3 is inserted to connect and fix it. The end of the movable crossbar 7 with the slotted hole 14 of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the fixed crossbar 6 to form a crossbar, and a self-locking pin 3 is inserted to connect and fix it. The two ends of the crossbar are fixed to two pipe supports 5 at the same height between the upright 1 using self-locking pins 3, and then fixed with self-locking pins 3. Since each component is made in-house, it is impossible to guarantee that the dimensions are exactly the same. Therefore, the slotted hole 14 is used for buffering, allowing the components to move during connection to compensate for errors.

[0053] When designing the gravity eccentric piece 12, the hinge position of the gravity eccentric piece 12 is located slightly above the middle of the gravity eccentric piece 12. Figure 8 The inclined surface of the gravity eccentric plate 12 is the upper part of the gravity eccentric plate 12, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 As shown, the inclined surface of the gravity eccentric piece 12 engages with the inclined surface of the main pin 8, keeping the gravity eccentric piece 12 horizontal. After the self-locking pin 3 passes through the through hole 16 and the strip hole 14, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, the rotating self-locking pin 3, with its curved chamfered end, causes the gravity eccentric piece 12 to rotate downwards under its own weight, thus bringing the gravity eccentric piece 12 into a vertical position, thereby achieving self-locking. The curved chamfer of the gravity eccentric piece 12 makes it easier for it to pass through the through hole 16 and the strip hole 14.

[0054] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the design concept of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
