[0002] Ballastless track has advantages such as high stability, high smoothness and low maintenance cost, and is widely used in high-speed railways and urban rail transit.
[0003] The lifting and installation of the track slab is a crucial step in the construction of ballastless track. Traditionally, gantry cranes are used to lift the track slab by connecting it to a lifting device on the slab with a wire rope. However, this method is prone to causing the track slab to sway, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, it usually requires two gantry cranes to work together, which places high demands on synchronization and increases the difficulty and workload of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A rigid connection device for a gantry crane is set above a ballastless track bed slab lifting device, including a slide rail connected to the top of the lifting device, a slider slidably fitted on the slide rail, a lifting lug fixedly connected to the top of the slider and cooperating with the hook of the gantry crane, and a locking assembly provided on the slider; the locking assembly includes a fixed plate fixed to the outer wall of the slider, an eccentric wheel rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the eccentric wheel penetrates the outer wall of the slider, a movable part elastically slidably connected to the internal slide groove of the slider, a first tooth installed on the side of the movable part near the slide rail, and the other side abutting against the side wall of the eccentric wheel, a second tooth installed on both sides of the outer wall of the slide rail and cooperating with the first tooth, and a handle installed on the eccentric wheel; the outer wall of the slider is also provided with a handle fixing assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the handle fixing assembly includes a fixing member fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider, the fixing member having a limit groove, and a locking bolt installed in the limit groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the lifting device is installed on the rail, the rail is installed on the sleeper by a locking buckle, the sleeper is installed on the track bed slab, and the track bed slab is installed on the base plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting device is provided in two sets along the length of the rail, and a crossbeam is installed between the two sets of lifting devices. A support beam is installed above the crossbeam and is fixedly connected to the slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, a tension spring is installed between the moving part and the internal groove of the slider, with one end of the tension spring installed on the moving part and the other end installed on the inner wall of the slider.
[0011] Furthermore, the locking components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the slider.
[0012] Furthermore, the handle fixing components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the slider.
[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] The rigid connection device of this gantry crane effectively solves the swaying problem caused by the traditional flexible connection method of steel wire rope by fixing a slide rail above the lifting device, fixing a lifting lug to the top of the slider on the slide rail, and connecting the lifting lug to the hook on the gantry crane. This reduces safety hazards and ensures the stability of the construction process.
[0015] Furthermore, the cooperation between the slide rail and the slider allows the position of the lifting lugs on the slider to be changed, enabling the slider to be moved to align with the hook and thus achieve a quick and precise connection. This design not only reduces swaying during lifting and improves safety, but also simplifies operation, eliminating the need for operators to frequently move the crane. Simply adjusting the slider position is sufficient to align and connect the hook, greatly reducing the workload of the workers. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This utility model will be described in detail.
[0026] Example
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a rigid connection device for a gantry crane is installed above a ballastless track bed slab lifting device. It includes a slide rail 13 connected to the lifting device. The slide rail 13 is a T-shaped slide rail; its specific model is not limited here, as long as it meets the actual usage requirements. A slider 14 is slidably fitted on the slide rail 13. A lifting lug 15, which engages with the hook 7 on the gantry crane 6, is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 14. A locking assembly is provided on the slider 14. When the lifting lug 15 on the slider 14 slides below the hook 7 via the slide rail 13, the locking assembly can be used to fix the slider 14 to the slide rail 13, without affecting the subsequent lifting of the track bed slab 2.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly includes a fixing plate 17 fixed to the outer wall of the slider 14. An eccentric wheel 16 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 17, and the eccentric wheel 16 penetrates the outer wall of the slider 14. A movable member 19 is elastically slidably connected to a groove inside the slider 14. Utilizing the eccentric characteristic of the eccentric wheel 16, when the eccentric wheel 16 rotates, it will push the movable member 19 to elastically slide inside the slider 14.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elastic sliding design specifically involves setting a transverse groove inside the slider 14, allowing the moving part 19 to slide only laterally within the slider 14. A tension spring 25 is installed between the moving part 19 and the groove inside the slider 14, with one end of the spring 25 mounted on the moving part 19 and the other end mounted on the inner wall of the slider 14. The design of the tension spring 25 allows the moving part 19 to automatically reset after the eccentric wheel 16 is rotated in the opposite direction, without affecting subsequent movement of the slider 14.
[0030] The movable part 19 is equipped with a first tooth 23 on one side near the slide rail 13, and the other side is in contact with the side wall of the eccentric wheel 16. The outer walls of the slide rail 13 are equipped with second teeth 24 that cooperate with the first tooth 23. The cooperation of the first tooth 23 and the second tooth 24 makes the slider 14 and the slide rail 13 form a lateral limit, so that the slider 14 cannot slide on the slide rail 13.
[0031] A handle 18 is installed on the eccentric wheel 16. The handle 18 saves time and effort, making it convenient for the operator to turn the eccentric wheel 16.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the slider 14 is also provided with a handle fixing assembly. The handle fixing assembly includes a fixing member 20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 14. A limit groove 21 is opened on the fixing member 20, and a locking bolt 22 is installed in the limit groove 21.
[0033] The design of the handle fixing component prevents the handle 18 on the eccentric wheel 16 from falling under the action of gravity, thereby preventing the eccentric wheel 16 from rotating and resetting, ensuring that the slider 14 is properly locked on the slide rail 13, and the subsequent lifting of the track bed 2 can be carried out normally.
[0034] Turning the handle 18 causes the eccentric wheel 16 to rotate, pushing the first tooth 23 on the moving part 19 to engage with the second tooth 24 on the slide rail 13, thus locking the slider 14. As the handle 18 is turned upwards, it slides into the arc-shaped limiting groove 21 of the fixing part 20, and then the locking bolt 22 fixes the handle 18 in the limiting groove 21. The limiting groove 21 is designed according to the movement trajectory of the handle 18.
[0035] Locking components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the slider 14. To ensure stability and safety during lifting, i.e., to ensure that the slider 14 can be firmly locked onto the slide rail 13, locking components are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the slider 14. Similarly, handle fixing components that cooperate with the locking components are also symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the slider 14.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting device is installed on the rail 5, the rail 5 is installed on the sleeper 3 via the locking buckle 4, the sleeper 3 is installed on the track bed slab 2, and the track bed slab 2 is installed on the base plate 1. This part is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, two sets of lifting devices are arranged along the length of the rail 5. A crossbeam 11 is installed between the two sets of lifting devices, and a support beam 12 is installed above the crossbeam 11. The support beam 12 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 13. The crossbeam 11 is used to connect the two sets of lifting devices, and the support beam 12 is used to support the slide rail 13.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting device includes a clamp 8 installed on the rail 5, a spreader beam 9 is provided above the clamp 8, and a screw rod 10 is bolted to the spreader beam 9 and the clamp 8. The cooperation of the clamp 8, the spreader beam 9 and the screw rod 10 makes the connection between the slide rail 14 and the rail 5 more stable, which is conducive to the stable progress of subsequent lifting operations.
[0039] Specifically, when using the rigid connection device of the gantry crane, the lifting device is first installed on the rail 5, and then the crossbeam 11 is fixedly connected between the two sets of lifting devices. A support beam 12 is installed above the crossbeam 11, and a slide rail 13 is installed above the support beam 12. The installation method can be welding or bolt fixing connection.
[0040] Then, move the slider 14 so that the lifting lug 15 on the slider 14 is aligned with the hook 7 of the gantry crane 6. Then, use the locking assembly to fix the slider 14 on the slide rail 13 and the handle 18 is also fixed on the handle fixing assembly. Start the gantry crane so that the hook 7 hooks the lifting lug 15, and the track bed slab 2 can be lifted stably.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
