Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of crane technology, and in particular relates to a locking device for the traveling mechanism of a port crane. Background Technology
[0002] Port cranes are key equipment in modern port logistics and cargo handling operations, primarily responsible for lifting, loading, unloading, and transporting goods. During operation, the traveling mechanism is crucial for ensuring the crane's smooth movement on the tracks. The traveling mechanism typically consists of a drive unit, transmission unit, wheel sets, and braking system, and its performance directly impacts the crane's efficiency, safety, and stability.
[0003] During the operation of port cranes, due to the complex and variable working environment, the cranes need to frequently start, stop, and turn. Especially under conditions of strong winds, heavy loads, or uneven tracks, the stability of the traveling mechanism becomes particularly important. When the crane is not in operation, the traveling mechanism requires a reliable locking device to prevent accidental movement. Existing locking devices are complex in structure, inconvenient to operate, and prone to failure in harsh environments, resulting in poor locking performance.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a locking device for the traveling mechanism of a port crane. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a locking device for the traveling mechanism of a port crane. Through the action of the limiting block, the cooperation between the limiting block and the second positioning plate, and the locking of the locking rod and the positioning hole, a double locking of the cargo container is achieved, which greatly improves the locking efficiency during emergency braking, effectively prevents the cargo container from sliding significantly due to inertia, ensures the safety of the goods and the overall stability of the crane, and solves the problems of existing locking devices being complex in structure, inconvenient to operate, and prone to failure in harsh environments, resulting in poor locking effect.

Specific Implementation
[0040] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model is a locking device for the traveling mechanism of a port crane, including a bracket 1, a locking rod 2 fixed on the upper surface of the bracket 1; a sliding groove 3 is opened on the upper surface of the locking rod 2, a first positioning plate 4 is fixed at the end of the locking rod 2 away from the sliding groove 3, a limit block 5 is fixed on one side of the first positioning plate 4, and a second positioning plate 6 is fixed on one side of the limit block 5; an adjusting plate 7 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the locking rod 2, a connecting block 8 is fixed at the top of the adjusting plate 7; a pulley 9 is rotatably connected to the surface of the adjusting plate 7, and the pulley 9 is rotatably connected to the sliding groove 3; an adjusting groove 10 is opened on the surface of the adjusting plate 7, an adjusting rod 11 passes through the adjusting groove 10, a support rod 12 is fixed between the two adjusting rods 11, a locking wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the outside of the support rod 12; a connecting plate 14 is fixed at the end of the adjusting rod 11 away from the support rod 12, and a first spring 15 is fixed between the connecting plate 14 and the adjusting plate 7.
[0041] Specifically, a limiting rod 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the adjusting groove 10, and a limiting groove 17 is opened on one side of the adjusting rod 11; the limiting rod 16 passes through the limiting groove 17; the limiting block 5 has an arc-shaped structure, and the distance between the limiting block 5 and the second positioning plate 6 is equal to the diameter of the locking wheel 13; a positioning hole 18 is opened on the surface of the adjusting rod 11, and a guide groove 19 is opened on one side of the positioning hole 18.
[0042] Furthermore, fasteners 20 are fixed on both sides of the locking rod 2; the fasteners 20 include a fastening shell 21, which is fixed inside the locking rod 2; a fixing plate 22 is fixed inside the fastening shell 21, and telescopic rods 23 are fixed on both sides of the fixing plate 22; a second spring 24 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 23; a movable plate 25 is fixed on the side of the telescopic rod 23 away from the fixing plate 22; one end of the second spring 24 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 22, and the other end of the second spring 24 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 25; a locking rod 26 is fixed on one side of the movable plate 25, and one end of the locking rod 26 has a hemispherical structure.
[0043] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The bracket 1 is securely installed on the crane frame, and the connecting block 8 is connected to the crane's bucket, ensuring that the connecting block 8 is tightly engaged with the bottom of the crane's bucket. When the crane suddenly brakes during forward movement, the bucket will cause the connecting block 8 to slide forward due to inertia. At this time, the connecting block 8 drives the adjusting plate 7 to move, causing the locking wheel 13 on the adjusting plate 7 to move towards the limiting block 5 under inertia. Since the limiting block 5 has an arc-shaped structure, the locking wheel 13 will slide along the arc-shaped surface of the limiting block 5. Finally, it gets stuck in the gap between the limiting block 5 and the second positioning plate 6, initially restricting the sliding of the connecting block 8; at the same time, the moving plate 25 inside the fastener 20 moves towards the adjusting rod 11 under the elastic force of the second spring 24, causing the locking rod 26 to extend and accurately engage in the positioning hole 18 on the surface of the adjusting rod 11, further enhancing the locking effect on the connecting block 8, thereby effectively fixing the cargo box and preventing it from continuing to slide due to inertia; when the crane needs to be restarted, the fastener 20 must first be unlocked, that is, by applying a certain amount of external force. The force overcomes the elasticity of the second spring 24, causing the moving plate 25 to move away from the adjusting rod 11, pulling the locking rod 26 out of the positioning hole 18. Then, the adjusting plate 7 is manually pushed away from the limiting block 5, causing the locking wheel 13 to disengage from the gap between the limiting block 5 and the second positioning plate 6, returning to its initial position. At this time, the first spring 15 also returns to its initial state, the entire locking device is unlocked, and the crane can resume normal operation. This device can quickly respond to the inertial sliding of the cargo box when the crane suddenly brakes. By utilizing the cooperation between the limiting block 5 and the second positioning plate 6, as well as the locking of the locking rod 26 and the positioning hole 18, a double locking of the cargo box is achieved, which greatly improves the locking efficiency during emergency braking, effectively prevents the cargo box from sliding significantly due to inertia, and ensures the safety of the goods and the overall stability of the crane. The overall structure of the device is relatively simple, and the connection and cooperation between the components are clear. This simple structure reduces complex transmission and control links, reduces the probability of failure, and improves the reliability of the device.
