Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting machinery technology, and in particular to a quick connection structure between the outriggers and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane. Background Technology

[0002] Lifting machinery refers to electromechanical equipment used for vertical lifting or vertical lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects. Its scope is defined as elevators with a rated lifting capacity greater than or equal to 0.5t, cranes with a rated lifting capacity greater than or equal to 3t and a lifting height greater than or equal to 2m, and mechanical parking equipment with two or more floors. Gantry cranes are a type of lifting equipment widely used in ports, docks, warehouses, and construction sites. They have advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, large lifting capacity, and wide operating range, effectively improving the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading and material handling. The main structure of a gantry crane includes outriggers, lower crossbeams, main beams, and lifting mechanisms. Among these, the connection structure between the outriggers and the lower crossbeam is a key component ensuring the overall stability and operational safety of the crane.

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to connect the outriggers and lower crossbeams of gantry cranes: welding and bolting. While welding provides high connection strength, it is found that positioning the lower crossbeam is inconvenient when connecting the outriggers and the lower crossbeam, making the installation process cumbersome and time-consuming, thus reducing connection efficiency and failing to meet user needs. To address this, we propose a quick connection structure for the outriggers and lower crossbeams of gantry cranes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick connection structure between the outriggers and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane, which solves the problem that it is inconvenient to position the lower crossbeam, resulting in a cumbersome and time-consuming installation process, thereby reducing connection efficiency and failing to meet the needs of users.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A quick-connection structure for the outriggers and lower crossbeam of a gantry crane includes a support leg. An operating opening is provided on the front of the support leg. A perforated fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the operating opening. A locking cap is provided inside the perforated fixing bracket. A connecting plate is provided above the support leg. A snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate. A positioning screw is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​block. A crossbeam body is provided above the connecting plate. A limit insertion hole is provided on the upper surface of the crossbeam body. A fastening cap is provided above the limit insertion hole. The top end of the positioning screw passes through the limit insertion hole and is threadedly connected to the fastening cap. A connecting groove is provided on the bottom surface of the crossbeam body, and the connecting groove is adapted to the snap-fit ​​block. A fixing groove is provided at the top of the support leg. A connecting hole is provided in the bottom wall of the fixing groove. A snap-fit ​​groove is provided at the top of the support leg.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the quick connection structure between the outrigger and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane according to this utility model, the upper surface of the perforated fixing frame is fixedly connected to two positioning blocks, and the upper surface of each positioning block is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the operating port.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the quick connection structure between the outriggers and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane according to this utility model, two positioning pins are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, and two positioning holes are opened on the bottom surface of the crossbeam body, and the positioning holes are adapted to the positioning pins.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the quick connection structure between the outrigger and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane according to this utility model, the top of the outrigger is provided with two sets of limiting holes, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected with two sets of positioning rods, and the positioning rods are adapted to the limiting holes.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the quick connection structure between the outrigger and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane according to this utility model, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate, a threaded locking rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting block, and the connecting block is engaged with the fixing groove. The bottom end of the threaded locking rod passes through the connecting hole and the fixing bracket with holes in sequence and is threadedly connected to the locking cap.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the quick connection structure between the outrigger and the lower crossbeam of a gantry crane according to this utility model, a limiting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate, and the limiting frame is engaged with the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This quick-connection structure for the gantry crane's outriggers and lower crossbeam achieves rapid positioning by placing a connecting plate on top of the outrigger and inserting a positioning rod into the positioning hole, thus improving installation efficiency. The stability of the connecting plate is ensured by the interlocking of the connecting block, limit frame, and threaded locking rod with the fixing groove, snap-fit ​​groove, and connecting hole, as well as the locking cap securing the threaded locking rod. The crossbeam body is then placed on the connecting plate, and initial positioning is achieved by the matching of the positioning pin and snap-fit ​​block with the positioning port and connecting groove of the crossbeam body. Simultaneously, the positioning screw passes through the limit insertion hole and is locked using a fastening cap, further ensuring the reliability of the connection. This effectively solves the problem of inconvenient positioning of the lower crossbeam, which previously led to a cumbersome and time-consuming installation process. Attached Figure Description
