Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crane technology, and in particular to a double-trolley bridge crane. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge cranes are lifting equipment that spans across workshops, warehouses, and material yards for material handling. Because their ends rest on tall concrete pillars or metal supports, they resemble bridges. The bridge frame of a bridge crane runs longitudinally along rails laid on elevated structures on both sides, making full use of the space beneath the bridge frame for material handling without being obstructed by ground equipment. It is the most widely used and numerous type of lifting machinery.

[0003] A novel European-style double-girder double-trolley bridge crane, authorized by announcement number CN218290173U, includes a main trolley rail with a movable end beam on the rail. Two top beams are fixedly connected to the sides of the movable end beams. This bridge crane, through the coordinated arrangement of the main trolley rail, movable end beams, and limit boxes, can share the force on the movable end beam's own braking system during lifting. However, when using two trolleys to lift and transport equipment, the trolleys can only move longitudinally along the main girder or laterally along the crossbeams. For certain goods with special requirements, the orientation before lifting is inconsistent with the orientation after lifting and transport to the placement point, requiring a 180-degree rotation in the horizontal plane. For such requirements, existing cranes can only lift the equipment onto an auxiliary rotating device, rotate it horizontally by 180° on the auxiliary rotating device, and then lift it again to the designated location, resulting in a lengthy lifting process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a double-trolley bridge crane to solve the technical problem that the existing crane trolleys can only run longitudinally along the main beam bridge or laterally along the crossbeam, and cannot rotate the goods.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model provides a double-trolley bridge crane, including a trolley frame 1. Slide rails 2 are installed on both sides of the upper part of the trolley frame 1. Two support frames 3 are slidably arranged between the two slide rails 2. A disc 4 is fixedly connected between the two support frames 3. A toothed ring 43 with an external rack is rotatably engaged inside the disc 4. The toothed ring 43 is coaxially arranged with the disc 4. A drive unit 5 for rotating the toothed ring 43 is arranged on the left side of the disc 4. A guide frame 41 is arranged inside the toothed ring 43. The guide frame 41 is rectangular. Two mounting seats 42 are slidably arranged above the guide frame 41. The bottom contacts the upper surface of the guide frame 41 to support the mounting base 42. A ball bearing may be provided above the guide frame 41 to reduce the friction between the guide frame 41 and the mounting base 42. The two mounting bases 42 are respectively equipped with the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8. A positioning unit 6 for limiting the rotation of the drive gear 53 is provided on the right side of the disc 4. The main hook 71 and the auxiliary hook 81 are respectively provided below the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8. A rectangular hole 423 is provided on the mounting base 42. The control cables on the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 pass through the rectangular hole 423 and are connected to the main hook 71 and the auxiliary hook 81 respectively.

[0030] In the above scheme, the product is first lifted by the main hook 71 and the auxiliary hook 81 on the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8. The support frame 3 can adjust the position of the product left and right under the action of the slide rail 2. At the same time, the trolley frame 1 can slide back and forth to adjust the position of the product so that the product can be moved to the preset position. When the product needs to change from horizontal to vertical, the drive unit 5 drives the toothed ring 43 to rotate, so that the mounting seat 42 on the guide frame 41 rotates with the toothed ring 43. This enables the product to be adjusted at any angle between the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8, solving the problem of needing manual adjustment, reducing the steps required for auxiliary rotation devices, and improving the transportation efficiency of the product.

[0031] The inner wall of the toothed ring 43 is fixedly connected with four sets of symmetrically arranged mounting plates 431. The two ends of the guide frame 41 are located between two adjacent sets of mounting plates 431. The mounting plates 431 and the guide frame 41 are fixedly connected by bolts to facilitate the installation or disassembly of the guide frame 41.

[0032] like Figure 4 to Figure 6As shown, in order to enable the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 to move independently on the guide frame 41 and adjust the distance between them, in this embodiment, a first drive rod 411 and a second drive rod 412 are rotatably mounted in the guide groove of the guide frame 41, respectively. The first drive rod 411 and the second drive rod 412 are arranged along the length of the guide frame 41. A first driver 413 is installed at both ends of the guide frame 41. The first driver 413 is a motor. The two first drivers 413 are respectively connected to the first drive rod 411 and the second drive rod 412. All 12 are lead screws. Two symmetrically arranged sliding plates 421 are installed below the mounting base 42. The two sliding plates 421 are located on both sides of the rectangular hole 423 to make way for the space below the rectangular hole 423, so as to facilitate the installation space of the cable. Guide holes 422 are opened at both ends of the sliding plate 421. The first drive rod 411 and the second drive rod 412 are respectively located in the two guide holes 422. One guide hole 422 is a through hole and is adapted to the diameter of the drive rod. The other guide hole 422 is a threaded hole and is threaded to the drive rod. The positions of the through hole and the threaded hole on the sliding plate 421 in the two mounting bases 42 are opposite.

[0033] In the above scheme, when the product is large, the position between the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 needs to be adjusted to adjust the center of gravity of the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 relative to the product. When the main trolley 7 moves left and right, since one of the guide holes 422 of the upper sliding plate 421 below the main trolley 7 is threadedly engaged with the first drive rod 411, and the other guide hole 422 is slidably engaged with the second drive rod 412, the first driver 413 acts as the driving source of the first drive rod 411, and the second drive rod 412 acts as the guide rod, so that the first drive rod 411 drives the main trolley 7 on the mounting base 42 to move through the sliding plate 421. When the auxiliary trolley 8 moves left and right, the position of the auxiliary trolley 8 needs to be adjusted in the same way, that is, the first drive rod 411 acts as the guide rod, and the second drive rod 412 acts as the driving source to drive the auxiliary trolley 8 to move. At the same time, the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 can also move in the same direction and relative to each other, increasing the usage scenarios of the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in order to drive the gear ring 43 to rotate, in this embodiment, the drive unit 5 includes a mounting cover 51 fixed to one side of the disk 4. The mounting cover 51 communicates with the interior of the disk 4. A second driver 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cover 51. The second driver 52 is a motor. The rotation of the mounting cover 51 is provided by a drive gear 53 that meshes with the gear ring 43. The output end of the second driver 52 passes through the mounting cover 51 and is fixedly connected to the drive gear 53. In another embodiment, a transmission gear located inside the mounting cover 51 is provided between the gear ring 43 and the drive gear 53. The diameter of the transmission gear is smaller than the diameter of the drive gear 53 to increase the transmission torque between the gear ring 43 and the drive gear 53.

[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to stop immediately after the gear ring 43 rotates, in this embodiment, the positioning unit 6 includes two clamping plates 62 (sliding configuration is a common slide rail structure, not specifically shown in the figure) slidably disposed above the inside of the disc 4. The clamping plates 62 are arc-shaped, and a groove 64 is provided above the clamping plates 62. A rotating rod 63 is slidably disposed between the two grooves 64. A third driver 61 is installed on the upper right side of the disc 4. The third driver 61 is a motor. The driving end of the third driver 61 passes through the disc 4 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 63. A protruding ring 432 is provided above the gear ring 43 between the two clamping plates 62.

[0036] In the above scheme, when the product between the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 needs to rotate, the drive gear 53 rotates through the second driver 52, which drives the guide frame 41 on the gear ring 43 to rotate. The guide frame 41 drives the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 to rotate synchronously, so as to adjust the angle of the product. After the product angle adjustment is completed, due to the inertia of the gear ring 43, the gear ring 43 will inevitably continue to rotate. Therefore, the third driver 61 drives the rotating rod 63 to rotate, so that the distance between the two clamping plates 62 becomes smaller, thereby causing the two clamping plates 62 to clamp the convex ring 432, so as to limit the position of the gear ring 43.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] The product is first lifted by the main hook 71 and the auxiliary hook 81 on the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8. The support frame 3 transports the product left and right under the action of the slide rail 2. At the same time, the product can be transported back and forth through the trolley frame 1.

[0039] When the product needs to change from horizontal to vertical, the drive gear 53 rotates through the second driver 52, which in turn drives the guide frame 41 on the gear ring 43 to rotate. The guide frame 41 drives the main trolley 7 and the auxiliary trolley 8 to rotate synchronously, so as to adjust the angle of the product and solve the problem of needing manual adjustment.

[0040] When the position between the main tractor 7 and the auxiliary tractor 8 needs to be adjusted, since one of the guide holes 422 of the upper sliding plate 421 below the main tractor 7 is threadedly engaged with the first drive rod 411, and the other guide hole 422 is slidably engaged with the second drive rod 412, the first driver 413 drives the first drive rod 411 as the drive source and the second drive rod 412 as the support rod, thereby causing the first drive rod 411 to drive the main tractor 7 on the mounting base 42 to move through the sliding plate 421; when the position of the auxiliary tractor 8 needs to be adjusted, the first drive rod 411 acts as the guide rod and the second drive rod 412 acts as the drive source to drive the auxiliary tractor 8 to move.

[0041] After the product angle adjustment is completed, due to the inertia of the toothed ring 43, the toothed ring 43 will inevitably continue to rotate. Therefore, the third driver 61 drives the rotating rod 63 to rotate, which reduces the distance between the two clamping plates 62, thereby clamping the convex ring 432 with the two clamping plates 62 to limit the position of the toothed ring 43.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
