Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing technology for the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane, and more specifically, to a lubrication and sealing structure for the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane. Background Technology

[0002] As an important loading and unloading equipment in ports and docks, the slewing mechanism of the gantry crane is a key component for realizing the spatial transfer of goods. The slewing mechanism is usually composed of a slewing bearing device and a slewing drive device. The slewing bearing device connects the slewing part and the non-slewing part of the crane and bears vertical loads, horizontal loads and overturning moments. The slewing drive device drives the slewing part to achieve slewing motion relative to the non-slewing part. When the gantry crane is working, the slewing mechanism needs to operate frequently, and its lubrication and sealing conditions directly affect the operational stability, service life and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0003] The existing gantry crane's slewing mechanism has a rotating shaft that rotates on the slewing mechanism housing. Lubricating oil is injected inside the slewing mechanism housing to lubricate the shaft drive gear and drive mechanism to prevent wear. Since one end of the rotating shaft needs to extend out of the slewing mechanism housing, a lubrication sealing structure is required to seal the gap between the rotating shaft and the slewing mechanism housing.

[0004] Existing lubrication seals rely on sealing rings and require manual injection of lubricating oil to lubricate the sealing area. However, manual lubrication can easily lead to uneven distribution of lubricating oil, causing severe wear on the sealing rings in some areas and even resulting in incomplete sealing. Furthermore, the existing sealing structure is too simple to cope with abnormal oscillations of the rotating shaft under complex working conditions. Therefore, a lubrication sealing structure for the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a lubrication and sealing structure for the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lubrication and sealing structure for the slewing mechanism of a gantry crane, comprising a slewing mechanism housing and a rotating shaft inserted in the middle of the slewing mechanism housing. A stabilizing shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A first sealing ring is sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft to seal the gap between the rotating shaft and the slewing mechanism housing. A second sealing ring is sleeved in the middle of the stabilizing shaft to seal the gap between the stabilizing shaft and the slewing mechanism housing. The inner cavity of the first sealing ring is provided with a first annular groove, a first lubricating oil groove, and a second annular groove.

[0007] A first sealing ring is provided in the middle of the first annular groove, and multiple first oil inlets are provided in the middle of the first lubricating oil groove.

A pressure ring is fixedly connected to the top of the first sealing ring, and a first sealing pressure ring is embedded in the bottom of the pressure ring. A rotating ring is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure ring. Extrusion components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressure ring. The first and second sealing rings can improve the sealing strength between the first sealing ring and the rotating shaft. The first sealing pressure ring can improve the sealing performance between the first sealing ring and the rotating mechanism housing, and facilitate the rotational installation of the pressure ring and the first sealing ring. The extrusion components can extrude and fix the installation position of the pressure ring. The lubricating oil inside the rotating mechanism housing enters the interior of the first lubricating oil groove through the first oil inlet, which can lubricate the first sealing ring and the rotating shaft, improve the rotation effect of the rotating shaft, and avoid wear.

The third annular groove has a third sealing ring in its middle. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second sealing ring. A drive ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit ring. A top ring is provided at the bottom of the drive ring. The limit ring has a groove at its top. A second sealing pressure ring is embedded in the middle of the groove. The second sealing pressure ring improves the sealing strength between the second sealing ring and the rotary mechanism housing. The third sealing ring improves the sealing strength between the second sealing ring and the stabilizing shaft. The lubricating oil inside the rotary mechanism housing enters the second lubricating oil groove through the second oil inlet hole, improving the smoothness of the stabilizing shaft rotation and preventing wear.

Through the cooperation of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring, the lubricating oil between the first sealing ring and the rotating shaft can be prevented from flowing out from both sides, thereby improving the sealing and lubrication effect.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating ring has symmetrically arranged cross-sections on both sides, and the outer surface of the first sealing ring is threadedly connected to the wall of the rotating mechanism housing, which facilitates the rotation of the rotating ring and thus controls the rotation and installation of the first sealing ring.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surface of the second sealing ring is threaded to the wall of the rotary mechanism housing, and the outer surface of the top ring is threaded to the corresponding groove wall of the rotary mechanism housing.

The third sealing ring is located at the bottom of the second lubricating oil groove, and the wall of the third sealing ring is tightly fitted to the outer surface wall of the stabilizing shaft. The third sealing ring prevents the lubricating oil that has entered the second lubricating oil groove from flowing out from the bottom of the gap between the second sealing ring and the stabilizing shaft, thereby improving the sealing effect and providing lubrication.

[0014] Preferably, the second lubricating oil groove is located at the top of the third annular groove, the second oil inlet is located at the top of the second lubricating oil groove, the second oil inlet is connected to the inner cavity of the rotary mechanism housing, and the rotary mechanism housing is provided with an oil inlet pipe and an oil outlet pipe on both sides respectively.

[0016] 1. This utility model firstly, by setting a first lubricating oil groove and a second lubricating oil groove, can make the distribution of lubricating oil between the first sealing ring and the rotating shaft, and between the second sealing ring and the stabilizing shaft more uniform. Furthermore, by setting multiple second oil inlets in cooperation with the first oil inlet, the lubricating oil inside the rotating mechanism housing can be replenished from all sides, improving the uniformity of lubricating oil distribution and avoiding wear of the sealing ring. Moreover, by setting multiple sealing rings, a multi-layer sealing structure can be formed, dispersing the sealing pressure, reducing the vibration and impact borne by a single sealing ring, improving the durability of the sealing ring, and improving the sealing strength.

[0017] 2. This utility model also limits the installation position of the first sealing ring by setting the compression component, so as to prevent the installation of the first sealing ring from loosening and affecting the sealing between the first sealing ring and the rotary mechanism housing. By using the top ring to compress and limit the installation position of the second sealing ring, the sealing between the second sealing ring and the rotary mechanism housing can be improved, preventing the second sealing ring from loosening, facilitating combination installation and use, improving the stability of installation and sealing strength, and improving the use effect.
