[0027] 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.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a height-adjustable electric hoist gantry crane, including a pair of ground rails 1, a running mechanism 2 that travels along the ground rails 1, a rail beam 3, and an electric hoist 4 that travels along the rail beam 3. The ground rails 1 are I-shaped rails fixed on the ground. The running mechanism 2 includes a housing, traveling wheels that are installed inside the housing and roll along the ground rails 1, and a power device that drives the traveling wheels to rotate. In addition, a rectangular groove 2.1 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the housing of the running mechanism 2.
[0029] The adjusting base 5 includes a cylindrical housing 5.1 with its bottom fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the running mechanism 2 and directly opposite the rectangular groove 2.1; shafts 5.2 rotatably mounted at both ends on the center of the top of the front and rear walls of the cylindrical housing 5.1; gears 5.3 fixedly mounted on the shafts 5.2 near both ends; and a lifting motor 5.4 fixed to the front wall of the cylindrical housing 5.1 with its power output shaft fixedly connected to the front end of the shaft 5.2. The bottom of the cylindrical housing 5.1 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the traveling mechanism 2 using bolts. Both lifting motors 5.4 are servo motors, employing a dual-motor master-slave control + encoder feedback control method to ensure high-precision synchronous operation of the two motors.
[0030] The lifting seat 6 is slidably fitted inside the cylindrical housing 5.1. The cylindrical housing 5.1 has a central vertical groove 6.3 in the middle, which slides and engages with the shaft 5.2 vertically. The front and rear walls of the lifting seat 6 have side grooves 6.1 in the middle, corresponding to the position of the gear 5.3, respectively. A rack 6.2 that meshes with the gear 5.3 is fixed to one side wall of the side groove 6.1. The bottom end of the lifting seat 6 is slidably fitted into the rectangular groove 2.1.
[0031] The bottom end of the side frame 7 is bolted to the top of the lifting seat 6. The end seat 8 is fixed to the top of the side frame 7, and both ends of the rail beam 3 are fixed to the top of the end seat 8.
[0032] In summary, when the overall working height of the gantry crane needs to be adjusted, the lifting motors 5.4 on both sides should be started simultaneously. The lifting motors 5.4 drive the gears 5.3 to rotate through the shafts 5.2. The gears 5.3 mesh with the corresponding racks 6.2, thereby driving the lifting seats 6 on both sides to move up and down within the cylindrical housing 5.1, thus achieving flexible adjustment of the working height of the gantry crane.
[0033] To prevent relative slippage between the lifting seat 6 and the adjusting base 5 after the working height is adjusted, limiting components 5.6 are installed at the top center of the front and rear walls of the cylindrical housing 5.1 to lock the rack 6.2. The limiting component 5.6 includes an L-shaped plate 5.6.1 fixed to the top center of the front and rear walls of the cylindrical housing 5.1, a locking tooth 5.6.2 located on the outside of the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate 5.6.1 and corresponding to the rack 6.2, a limiting bolt 5.6.3 rotatably fitted onto the inner wall of the locking tooth 5.6.2 and threadedly connected to the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate 5.6.1, and a guide rod 5.6.4 fixed to the inner wall of the locking tooth 5.6.2 and slidably fitted onto the L-shaped plate 5.6.1. That is, after the working height is adjusted, rotating the limiting bolt 5.6.3 causes the locking tooth 5.6.2 to lock onto the corresponding tooth surface of the rack 6.2, thus limiting and preventing slippage.
[0034] To ensure smoother vertical movement of the lifting seat 6 within the cylindrical housing 5.1, guide rails 5.5 are vertically fixed to the middle sections of both sides of the inner cavity of the cylindrical housing 5.1. The lifting seat 6 also has slots 6.4 on both sides that slide vertically into the guide rails 5.5. That is, when the lifting seat 6 moves vertically within the cylindrical housing 5.1, the guide rails 5.5 and slots 6.4 slide relative to each other, providing guidance.
