[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A gantry crane outrigger structure with quick assembly and disassembly function includes a base frame 1. A connecting mechanism is provided on the base frame 1. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting sleeve 2, a support leg 3, adjusting holes 4, a bolt 5, and a fixing mechanism. The connecting sleeve 2 is installed on the base frame 1, and the support leg 3 slides within the connecting sleeve 2. Multiple sets of adjusting holes 4 are distributed on the outer walls of the connecting sleeve 2 and the support leg 3. The bolt 5 is inserted into the adjusting holes 4. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing sleeve 6, a gear 7, a mating sleeve 8, a connecting rod 9, a locking block 10, a locking groove 11, and a sliding groove 12. The system includes a transmission sleeve 13, a rack 14, and a locking mechanism. A fixed sleeve 6 is located at the top of the plug 5. Multiple sets of gears 7 are rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 6. A mating sleeve 8 is mounted inside the multiple sets of gears 7 and rotatably connected to the fixed sleeve 6. A connecting rod 9 is threadedly connected inside the multiple sets of mating sleeves 8. A locking block 10 is mounted at the bottom of the multiple sets of connecting rods 9. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 12 are distributed on the outer wall of the plug 5. The transmission sleeve 13 slides on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 6. Multiple sets of racks 14 are mounted inside the transmission sleeve 13 and mesh with the multiple sets of gears 7.
[0030] A compression spring 20 is installed on the top surface of the inner sleeve 6, and a push ring 21 is installed at the bottom end of the compression spring 20. The principle is that the compression spring 20 stores elastic potential energy when compressed, and transmits the force to the plug 5 through the push ring 21. When disassembly is required, the compression spring 20 releases its potential energy to push the push ring 21, thereby realizing the automatic pop-out of the plug 5.
[0031] The outer wall of the plug 5 is provided with positioning strips 22, and multiple sets of positioning strips 22 are provided. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 6 is provided with positioning grooves 23, and multiple sets of positioning grooves 23 are provided and slidably connected with multiple sets of positioning strips 22. The principle is that the positioning strips 22 slide in the positioning grooves 23 to form a directional guiding structure, preventing the plug 5 from rotating during use.
[0032] Multiple sets of locking blocks 10 and locking slots 11 are all set as polygons, and multiple sets of locking slots 11 are adapted to slide grooves 12. The principle is to use the polygonal structure of the locking blocks 10 and locking slots 11 to form directional locking, while the slide grooves 12 provide motion guidance to ensure the accuracy of the locking process.
[0033] The outer wall of the transmission sleeve 13 is provided with guide plates 24, and multiple sets of guide plates 24 are provided. The fixed sleeve 6 is provided with guide rods 25, and multiple sets of guide rods 25 are provided and slidably connected to multiple sets of guide plates 24. The principle is that by sliding the guide plates 24 on the guide rods 25, a stable motion trajectory is provided for the transmission sleeve 13, preventing deviation during transmission.
[0034] Each of the multiple guide rods 25 has a stop 26 installed at its top. The principle is to prevent the guide plate 24 from detaching from the guide rod 25 during movement by limiting the movement of the stop 26, thus ensuring the safety of the transmission system.
[0035] In this embodiment, the support leg 3 is connected to the base frame 1 via the connecting sleeve 2, and its height can be adjusted by sliding within the connecting sleeve 2. Multiple sets of adjustment holes 4 are provided, allowing the plug 5 to be inserted into the adjustment holes 4 at different heights, thus fixing the height of the support leg 3. After the plug 5 is inserted, the fixing sleeve 6 is installed on the top of the plug 5, causing the push ring 21 to abut against the top of the plug 5 and compress the compression spring 20. The sliding transmission sleeve 13 drives multiple sets of racks 14 to mesh with gears 7, which in turn drive the mating sleeve 8 to rotate. The mating sleeve 8 engages with the connecting rod 9 via threaded transmission, and the threaded transmission of the connecting rod 9 moves the locking block 10. The locking block 10 forms an directional fit with the slot 11 through a polygonal design. The slide 12 provides motion guidance. The cooperation of the limiting plate 19 and the guide rod 25 ensures the stable movement of the transmission sleeve 13. Then, the transmission sleeve 13 is locked by the locking mechanism to complete the quick installation. When disassembly is required, the locking mechanism is released, and the transmission sleeve 13 is pushed to drive the rack 14 to mesh with the gear 7, which drives the mating sleeve 8 to rotate. The mating sleeve 8 and the connecting rod 9 are threaded together, which drives the locking block 10 to disengage from the slot 11 and slide in the slide 12. At the same time, the elastic reset of the compression spring 20 pushes the push ring 21, and the push ring 21 pushes the plug 5 to separate from the fixing sleeve 6.
[0036] Please see Figures 3-5 As one embodiment of the locking mechanism: the locking mechanism includes a limiting block 15, a return spring 16, a push spring 17, a sliding sleeve 18, and a limiting plate 19. The limiting block 15 is provided with multiple sets sliding on the top of the transmission sleeve 13. The return spring 16 is provided with multiple sets, and its two ends are respectively connected to the top of the multiple sets of limiting blocks 15 and the outer wall of the transmission sleeve 13. The push spring 17 is provided with multiple sets installed on the top of the fixed sleeve 6. The sliding sleeve 18 is installed on the top of the multiple sets of push springs 17. The limiting plate 19 is provided with multiple sets installed on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 18. The outer wall of the fixed sleeve 6 is provided with a limiting groove 27, and the limiting groove 27 is provided with multiple sets.
[0037] The inner sides of multiple sets of limiting plates 19 are all equipped with rounded corners. The principle is that the rounded corner design on the inner side of the limiting plate 19 makes the contact with adjacent components smoother, reduces stress concentration, and extends service life.
[0038] More specifically, multiple sets of push springs 17 push the sliding sleeve 18, which in turn drives multiple sets of limiting plates 19 to abut against the top of multiple sets of limiting blocks 15. This causes the bottom of the multiple sets of limiting blocks 15 to engage in the limiting groove 27 and compress the multiple sets of return springs 16, thus fixing the transmission sleeve 13. Pushing the sliding sleeve 18 compresses the multiple sets of push springs 17 and causes the multiple sets of limiting plates 19 to release their contact with the multiple sets of limiting blocks 15. The elastic return of the multiple sets of return springs 16 pulls the limiting blocks 15 outward and away from the limiting groove 27, thereby releasing the limitation on the transmission sleeve 13.
[0039] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: the support leg 3 is connected to the base frame 1 via the connecting sleeve 2, and its height can be adjusted by sliding within the connecting sleeve 2. Through the setting of multiple sets of adjustment holes 4, the plug 5 can be inserted into the adjustment holes 4 at different height positions to fix the height of the support leg 3. After the plug 5 is inserted, the fixing sleeve 6 is installed on the top of the plug 5, causing the push ring 21 to abut against the top of the plug 5 and compress the compression spring 20. The sliding transmission sleeve 13 drives multiple sets of racks 14 to mesh with gears 7, which in turn drive the mating sleeve 8 to rotate. The mating sleeve 8 engages with the connecting rod 9 via threaded transmission, which in turn drives the locking block through the threaded transmission of the connecting rod 9. 10 moves, the locking block 10 forms a directional fit with the slot 11 through the polygonal design, the slide 12 provides motion guidance, the cooperation of the limiting plate 19 and the guide rod 25 ensures the stable movement of the transmission sleeve 13, and then the transmission sleeve 13 is locked by the locking mechanism to complete the quick installation. When disassembly is required, the locking mechanism is released, the transmission sleeve 13 is pushed to drive the rack 14 to mesh with the gear 7 to drive the mating sleeve 8 to rotate, the mating sleeve 8 and the connecting rod 9 are threaded to drive the locking block 10 to disengage from the slot 11 and slide in the slide 12, and at the same time the elastic reset of the compression spring 20 pushes the push ring 21, and the push ring 21 pushes the plug 5 to separate from the fixed sleeve 6.
[0040] Multiple sets of push springs 17 push the sliding sleeve 18, which in turn drives multiple sets of limiting plates 19 to abut against the top of multiple sets of limiting blocks 15. This causes the bottom of the multiple sets of limiting blocks 15 to engage in the limiting groove 27 and compress the multiple sets of return springs 16, thus fixing the transmission sleeve 13. Pushing the sliding sleeve 18 compresses the multiple sets of push springs 17 and causes the multiple sets of limiting plates 19 to release their contact with the multiple sets of limiting blocks 15. The elastic return of the multiple sets of return springs 16 pulls the limiting blocks 15 outward and away from the limiting groove 27, thereby releasing the limitation on the transmission sleeve 13.
[0041] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
