[0002] Gantry cranes are widely used for lifting goods in various situations and are currently the most widely used lifting equipment in industrial enterprises. A gantry crane consists of end beams, main beams, and trolley winches, among which the main beam is one of the most important load-bearing components. The stiffness and strength of the main beam are directly related to the safety performance of the crane, so the stiffness and strength of the main beam are key technical indicators of the crane.
[0003] The main beam of a gantry crane consists of an installation beam and a hoisting beam. The installation beam mainly serves to support the installation, while the hoisting beam is mainly used to connect with the trolley winch. The main beam of a gantry crane is frequently subjected to weight and vibration, which can lead to problems such as cracks, deformation, and fatigue. However, the main beams of existing gantry cranes are simple I-shaped, H-shaped, or box-shaped structures without any buffer or vibration reduction features, and their service life and safety need to be improved.

The upper and lower mounting plates are symmetrically arranged, and their widths are both greater than the width of the installation beam to form a groove on each of the front and rear sides of the installation beam. Vibration damping components are set in the grooves, and the vibration damping components are connected to the hoisting beam through the fixing plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the vibration damping assembly includes guide rods, guide sleeves, cross plates, and vibration dampers; there are four guide rods, which are vertically arranged at the ends of the two grooves respectively. Guide sleeves are slidably fitted on the guide rods, and a cross plate is connected between the two guide sleeves in the same groove. The cross plate is connected to the vibration damper arranged in the groove, and a fixing plate is connected to the bottom of the two cross plates.
[0008] Furthermore, there are at least four vibration dampers, and the number of vibration dampers in the two grooves is the same to improve the vibration damping effect.
[0009] Furthermore, the vibration dampers within the same tank are arranged at evenly distributed points along the tank to ensure that the vibration dampers are subjected to balanced forces.
[0010] Furthermore, the vibration damping assembly also includes a lower spring and an upper spring; both the lower spring and the upper spring are sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, with the lower spring located below the guide sleeve and the upper spring located above the guide sleeve.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are respectively welded to the upper and lower end faces of the mounting beam to improve the strength of the connection.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing plate has a U-shaped structure to improve its structural stability.
[0013] Furthermore, the cross plate is welded between the two guide sleeves to improve the strength of the connection.
[0014] Furthermore, the fixing plate is welded to the bottom end of the horizontal plate.

[0025] In order to achieve the vibration reduction effect, there are at least four vibration dampers 54, and the number of vibration dampers 54 in the two tanks is the same. In addition, the vibration dampers 54 in the same tank are set at the evenly distributed points of the tank so that the vibration dampers 54 are subjected to balanced forces.
