Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of crane guide wheel equipment, and specifically to a guide wheel mechanism for cranes. Background Technology
[0002] When the trolley and crane of a single or double girder bridge or gantry crane have a large operating span and high operating speed, it is necessary to install horizontal guide wheels on the rails to prevent rail wear.
[0003] Traditional crane horizontal guide wheels are large in size, have low load-bearing capacity, are cumbersome to manufacture, have complex structures, and are costly. To address these issues, publication number CN201821546807.5 discloses a crane horizontal guide wheel device, comprising: a guide wheel, a deep groove ball bearing, a guide wheel shaft, and a bracket. The guide wheel is connected to the guide wheel shaft via the deep groove ball bearing, and the bracket has a guide wheel shaft fixing plate. One end of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing is fixed to the inner step of the guide wheel's bore, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the guide wheel via a retaining ring. One end of the inner ring of the deep groove ball bearing is fixed to the shoulder of the guide wheel shaft, and the other end is sequentially fixed to the guide wheel shaft via a first shaft end baffle and a first bolt group. One end of the guide wheel shaft is connected to the lower plate of the guide wheel shaft fixing plate via its shoulder, and the other end is sequentially fixed to the upper plate of the guide wheel shaft fixing plate via a second bolt group and a second shaft end baffle. The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the tread surface of the guide wheel is curved, resulting in better load-bearing capacity; the entire guide wheel device has a simple structure, uses less material, has low cost, and is suitable for mass production. However, this guide wheel device also has the following problems: 1. The distance between the two guide wheels in existing guide wheel devices is mostly fixed and cannot be adjusted. When it needs to be used with guide rails of different widths, the guide wheel shaft fixing plate needs to be replaced, resulting in high customization costs and low applicability; 2. The thickness of the guide wheels in existing guide wheel devices is mostly a fixed size, which cannot be quickly adjusted according to the width requirements of the guide rail groove, resulting in low applicability and affecting the efficiency of subsequent installation and debugging.
