[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A guide rail cleaning device for a rubber-tired gantry crane includes a crane body 1. The crane body 1 includes a support frame, a crossbeam, a guide rail, and a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is slidably connected to the guide rail, and both ends of the guide rail are fixedly connected to the crossbeam. A support frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the crane body 1. An adsorption component 3 for collecting impurities is provided on the top of the support frame 2. An installation frame 6 is provided at one end of the adsorption component 3. Two sets of installation plates 4 are fixedly installed on one side wall of the crane body 1. A power component 5 for adjusting the position of the installation frame 6 is provided on the opposite side of the two sets of installation plates 4. By using the support frame 2 and the adsorption component 3 together, the device can adsorb and collect dust on the surface of the guide rail. By using the installation frame 6, the installation plate 4, and the power component 5 together, the position of one end of the adsorption component 3 can be adjusted, thereby cleaning the guide rail thoroughly and preventing dust and other impurities from threatening the safe operation of the crane body 1.

[0023] Specifically, the adsorption component 3 includes two sets of suction pipes 301, with a guide rail located between the two sets of suction pipes 301. Suction holes are provided on the outer wall of the suction pipes 301. The two sets of suction pipes 301 are fixedly connected to the inner top and inner bottom of the mounting frame 6, respectively. One end of each set of suction pipes 301 is fixedly connected to a three-way pipe 302. One end of the three-way pipe 302 passes through the mounting frame 6 and is fixedly connected to a flexible telescopic pipe 303. One end of the flexible telescopic pipe 303 is fixedly connected to a dust collection box 304. A vacuum pump 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the dust collection box 304. By using the suction pipes 301, three-way pipe 302, flexible telescopic pipe 303, dust collection box 304 and vacuum pump 305 in combination, dust and other impurities on the guide rail can be adsorbed and collected, and stored in the dust collection box 304.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a filter screen 306, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dust collection box 304. The dust collection box 304 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2. A collection box 7 is inserted into the inside of the dust collection box 304. By setting the filter screen 306, dust and other impurities entering the dust collection box 304 can be filtered and fall into the collection box 7. One side of the collection box 7 is connected to the dust collection box 304 by a lock. The collection box 7 can be taken out by opening the lock and the impurities inside can be cleaned regularly.

[0025] Specifically, the power assembly 5 includes a bidirectional lead screw 501. The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 501 are rotatably mounted on the opposite side walls of the two sets of mounting plates 4. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 501 passes through one of the sets of mounting plates 4 and is connected to a drive motor 502. Two sets of translation blocks 503 are threaded onto the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 501. The translation blocks 503 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 502 can drive the bidirectional lead screw 501 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, thereby driving the two sets of translation blocks 503 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the bidirectional lead screw 501. This can adjust the distance between the two sets of mounting frames 6, thereby driving the vacuum pipe 301 to adjust its position and achieve the effect of thoroughly cleaning the guide rail.

[0026] Furthermore, the drive motor 502 is fixedly installed on one side wall of one of the mounting plates 4. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 501. The drive motor 502 is set as a forward and reverse stepper motor. The stepper motor achieves precise angle changes by controlling the number of pulses. This feature makes the stepper motor very useful in applications that require precise positioning. By precisely controlling the position of the suction pipe 301, it can be ensured that the suction pipe 301 can be accurately aligned with the debris on the guide rail, thereby improving the debris removal efficiency.

[0027] In addition, the tops of the two sets of mounting frames 6 are fixedly connected to limit blocks 8, and the inside of the two sets of limit blocks 8 are slidably inserted with limit rods 9. The two ends of the limit rods 9 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the support frame 2. By setting the limit blocks 8 and the limit rods 9 in cooperation, the mounting frames 6 are limited, making their movement process more stable and helping to further improve the stability of the device.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
