[0002] A crane is a piece of engineering machinery used for vertically lifting and horizontally moving heavy objects. Its core function is to achieve precise positioning and transfer of loads through mechanisms such as hooks and wire ropes. Easily movable cranes are usually equipped with adjustable outriggers and mobile chassis to adapt to the flexible operation needs of complex sites such as shipyards and construction sites, and must have both high mobility and operational stability.

[0003] The trolley traveling mechanism of traditional mobile cranes has the following defects: existing locking mechanisms mostly use pure mechanical friction fixation, which is prone to slippage under load vibration or gusts of wind, posing a safety hazard. Moreover, mechanical friction fixation makes it difficult to align the lifting equipment. Therefore, we provide a crane that is easy to move to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

By cooperating with the trolley running component and the locking component, it solves the problem in the existing crane technology where the locking mechanism mostly adopts pure mechanical friction fixation, which is prone to slippage under load vibration or gust of wind, posing a safety hazard.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model relates to a mobile crane, comprising outriggers, a movable base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the outriggers, a main beam fixedly connected to the top of the outriggers, a trolley running assembly on the top of the main beam, a hook at the bottom of the trolley running assembly, the trolley running assembly including a running box on one side of the main beam, a movable toothed plate fixedly connected to the top of the main beam, a drive gear meshing with the top of the movable toothed plate, and a support wheel movably connected to one side of the running box via a bearing, and a locking assembly on one side of the running box, the locking assembly including a locking toothed plate on one side of the running box, a speed reduction plate on one side of the running box, and an electromagnetic plate fixedly connected to one side of the speed reduction plate.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that an extension plate is fixedly connected to the side of the locking tooth plate near the running box, and there are two extension plates, with a second hydraulic cylinder fixedly connected between the two extension plates.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the second hydraulic cylinder is a double-headed hydraulic cylinder, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model relates to a mobile crane, comprising outriggers 1, a movable base plate 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of outriggers 1, a main beam 3 fixedly connected to the top of outriggers 1, a trolley running assembly mounted on the top of the main beam 3, and a hook 4 mounted on the bottom of the trolley running assembly. The trolley running assembly includes a running box 5 mounted on one side of the main beam 3, a movable toothed plate 6 fixedly connected to the top of the main beam 3, a drive gear 7 meshing with the top of the movable toothed plate 6, and a support wheel 8 movably connected to one side of the running box 5 via a bearing. Through the trolley running assembly, the drive motor drives the drive gear 7 to roll along the movable toothed plate 6 fixed to the top of the main beam 3, achieving linear movement of the running box 5 and ensuring the hook accurately reaches the target position. The support wheel 8 provides support for the weight of the trolley running assembly. To provide support and reduce the wear rate between the drive gear 7 and the moving gear plate 6, a locking assembly is provided on one side of the running box 5. The locking assembly includes a locking gear plate 9, a reduction plate 10, and an electromagnetic plate 11 fixedly connected to one side of the reduction plate 10. Through the setting of the locking assembly, the first hydraulic cylinder 14 pushes the locking gear plate 9 to mesh with the moving gear plate 6, forming a mechanical rigid lock. The second hydraulic cylinder 16 links the reduction plate 10 through the extension plate 15, pushing the reduction plate 10 to move towards the support wheel 8, and frictionally locking the support wheel 8. When the electromagnetic plate 11 is energized, it generates magnetic attraction. At this time, the electromagnetic plate 11, the reduction plate 10, and the support wheel 8 form a magnetic attraction lock, forming a "mechanical + electromagnetic" double fixation.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, there are two support legs 1 and two main beams 3. The two support legs 1 are fixedly connected by a connecting beam. The connecting beam is used to fix the two support legs 1 together. The top of the main beam 3 has a sliding groove 12 adapted to the support wheel 8. The main beam 3, support wheel 8 and speed reducer 10 are all made of magnetic material. The sliding groove 12 is used to limit the support wheel 8 to slide in a straight line. The inside of the running box 5 has an inlet / outlet slot 13 adapted to the locking tooth plate 9. A first hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected inside the inlet / outlet slot 13. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the locking tooth plate 9. Through the inlet / outlet slot 13, the locking tooth plate 9 can be retracted into the running box 5 during the movement of the running box 5. The first hydraulic cylinder 14 is used to push the locking tooth plate. 9. The locking gear plate 9 is fixedly connected to an extension plate 15 near the running box 5. There are two extension plates 15, and a second hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly connected between the two extension plates 15. The extension plates 15 and the second hydraulic cylinder 16 are used to push the reduction plate 10 to move. The second hydraulic cylinder 16 is a double-headed hydraulic cylinder. A connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 16. The bottom of the connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the reduction plate 10. The connecting plate 17 is used to fix the reduction plate 10 and the second hydraulic cylinder 16. The electromagnetic plate 11 has a reduction groove adapted to the support wheel 8 near the support wheel 8. A drive motor is fixedly connected inside the running box 5. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive gear 7. The drive motor is used to drive the drive gear 7 to rotate.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to lift an object, the crane is pushed to the designated position, the hook 4 is placed downwards on the top of the object, and after the hook 4 lifts the object, the drive motor drives the drive gear 7 to rotate. The drive gear 7 moves on the surface of the moving tooth plate 6, and the drive gear 7 drives the running box 5 to move along the beam 3, thereby moving the object.

[0030] When the object is moved to the desired placement position, the drive motor stops. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 14 moves the locking tooth plate 9 out of the inlet / outlet slot 13. The locking tooth plate 9 engages with the moving tooth plate 6 to perform the first locking. During the movement of the locking tooth plate 9, the deceleration plate 10 moves towards the support wheel 8. The deceleration plate 10 contacts the support wheel 8. After the locking tooth plate 9 engages with the moving tooth plate 6, the electromagnetic plate 11 contacts the support wheel 8. After the electromagnetic plate 11 is energized, it magnetically attracts and fixes itself to the deceleration plate 10 and the support wheel 8. The running box 5 is then locked. At this time, the hook 4 moves the object downwards and places the object.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
