Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;
[0030] This embodiment provides a mobile gantry crane, including two opposing gantry frames 01, with a main beam 02 positioned between the tops of the gantry frames 01. A hoist hook 03 is suspended from the main beam 02. The two gantry frames 01 and the main beam 02 together form a frame-shaped main structure. The hoist hook 03 is suspended from the main beam 02 and used as a lifting hook. The hoist hook 03 can be manual or electric. The gantry frames 01 and the main beam 02 are assembled from metal parts.
[0031] The gantry 01 includes two vertical bars 010, with a horizontal bar 011 connecting the top of the vertical bars 010. The vertical bars 010 and the horizontal bar 011 are made of metal square tubing. The two vertical bars 010 are arranged opposite each other, forming a gantry frame with the horizontal bar 011. Casters 04 are installed on the bottom surface of the vertical bars 010. The casters 04 are installed at the bottom of the vertical bars 010, allowing the gantry 01 to be moved and pushed to the desired position. Bolts pass through the outer shell 040 of the casters 04 and are connected and fixed to the bottom of the vertical bars 010, or the casters 04 are welded and fixed to the vertical bars 010.
[0032] Support rods 05 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the vertical rod 010. The support rods 05 are metal tubes, which have better strength. The top of the support rod 05 is hinged to the side of the vertical rod 010 by a pin. The hinged connection between the top of the support rod 05 and the side of the vertical rod 010 allows the support rod 05 to rotate up and down for easy folding or use. A first connecting piece 050 is provided on the inner side of the support rod 05. A first pin 051 is inserted between the first connecting piece 050 and the vertical rod 010 for connection and fixation. The first connecting piece 050 connects the support rod 05 and the vertical rod 010 to prevent them from separating. The first pin 051 can be removed when not in use. The two support rods 05 form a triangle, which has good stability.
[0033] As described above, a support rod 05 is installed on each of the two sides of the vertical rod 010. After the gantry 01 is moved to the required position, the two support rods 05 are lowered to contact the ground to form support, and together with the vertical rod 010, they form a stable triangular support structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the two ends of the horizontal bar 011 are welded and fixed to the top of the vertical bar 010 respectively; the vertical bar 010 and the horizontal bar 011 are welded together to ensure their firmness and prevent deformation and damage; a first sliding sleeve 06 is fitted on the horizontal bar 011; the first sliding sleeve 06 is U-shaped in general and is made of three pieces of metal welded together, and is fitted on the horizontal bar 011. The size of the first sliding sleeve 06 is determined according to the design requirements; four first through holes 060 are opened on the two side walls of the first sliding sleeve 06 respectively, and a small rotating shaft 061 spans the first through holes 060 and the two ends of the small rotating shaft 061 are respectively screwed into the first sliding sleeve 06 for connection and fixation through bolts; a bearing 062 is fitted on the small rotating shaft 061, and the bearing 062 is inserted into the first through hole 060 and contacts the horizontal bar 011.
[0035] As described above, a U-shaped first sliding sleeve 06 is fitted onto the crossbar 011, and bearings 062 are installed on both sides of the first sliding sleeve 06. The bearings 062 contact the crossbar 011 for support and rolling, achieving rolling contact, reducing friction during movement, and making the movement smoother.
[0036] Furthermore, the top wall of the first sliding sleeve 06 has two second through holes 063; the two sides of the second through holes 063 are provided with first fixing plates 064 protruding out, and a long rotating shaft 065 is passed between the two first fixing plates 064. A first roller 066 is sleeved on the long rotating shaft 065, and the first roller 066 is inserted into the second through hole 063 and contacts the crossbar 011.
[0037] As described above, the top wall of the first sliding sleeve 06 also uses a rolling mechanism with the crossbar 011 to reduce friction, facilitate movement, and realize the longitudinal movement of the main beam 02 on the gantry 01;
[0038] Furthermore, the crossbar 011 has first elongated holes 0110 facing each other on both side walls; the crossbar 011 has several third through holes 0111 on its top wall; the first elongated holes 0110 are arranged along the length of the crossbar 011. The several third through holes 0111 are arranged at uniform or non-uniform intervals.
[0039] Long bolts are inserted into the two side walls of the first sliding sleeve 06, passing through the first elongated hole 0110, and screwed on with nuts to fix it; the long bolts limit the first sliding sleeve 06 within the range of the first elongated hole 0110, preventing the first sliding sleeve 06 from rolling out of the crossbar 011;
[0040] The top of the first replacement sleeve is welded with a cross bracket 067, and the top of the cross bracket 067 is welded with a U-shaped tube 0670, with the two openings of the U-shaped tube 0670 facing downwards; the cross bracket 067 supports the U-shaped tube 0670, and the U-shaped tube 0670 is used as a channel;
[0041] It also includes a tower-shaped pendant block 068; the pendant block 068 is made of metal, is heavy, and not easily broken. The tower-shaped pendant block 068 has a protruding center that acts as a stop; the tail end of the pendant block 068 is connected to a pull rope 0680. The pendant block 068 passes through the first sliding sleeve 06 and is inserted into the third through hole 0111. The pull rope 0680 passes through the U-shaped tube 0670 for pulling. The pull rope 0680 can be a metal rope welded to the pendant block 068.
[0042] As described above, in practical use, first pull the suspension rope to lift the pendant block 068 up, away from the third through hole 0111; after the first sliding sleeve 06 moves to the desired position, release the suspension rope, and the pendant block 068 falls due to its own weight, with its head inserting into the third through hole 0111 and remaining stationary. The gantry 01 is on a slope, preventing the third sliding sleeve from moving, thus enhancing safety.
[0043] In another embodiment, the pendant block 068 is a spring pin, with a spring fitted on the top of the pin. The top surface of the pin is welded to the pull rope 0680, which passes through the spring. The spring is secured to the bottom of the cross bracket 067. When the pull rope 0680 is pulled down, the spring is compressed, pulling out the pin. After the pull rope 0680 is released, the potential energy of the spring extends and pushes the pin into the third through hole 0111 for fixation.
[0044] Furthermore, the main beam 02 includes a steel profile; a first groove 020 is provided inside the bottom end of the profile; a sliding plate 021 is inserted into the groove, and a pair of pulleys 0210 are inserted into the top of the sliding plate 021; the wheel axle passes through the sliding plate 021, and the two ends of the wheel axle are respectively embedded in the pulleys 0210. The pulleys 0210 slide into the end face of the first groove 020 to achieve rolling connection, and can roll to the desired position within the first groove 020.
[0045] The bottom of the slide plate 021 is provided with a first hook groove 0211, through which a rod 0212 passes. The rod 0212 is used to hook the hoist hook 03. The rod 0212 is embedded in the first hook groove 0211 for fixation. The rod 0212 can also be welded to the first hook groove 0211.
[0046] The two ends of the steel profile are welded with first connecting plates 022 respectively. Countersunk bolts pass through the side wall of the sliding sleeve and the first connecting plate 022 and are screwed on with nuts to fix them. The profile is mounted on the two sliding sleeves.
[0047] As described above, the steel section is connected to the first sliding sleeve 06 by passing through the first connecting plate 022 as an intermediate part and countersunk bolts. The steel section can be removed later by disassembling the countersunk bolts.
[0048] Furthermore, the caster 04 includes a housing 040, on the top and bottom surfaces of the housing 040, a first connecting post 0400 is welded, and a stud lifting foot 0401 is threadedly connected to the bottom surface of the first connecting post 0400.
[0049] As described above, by adding a rotatable and adjustable stud lifting foot 0401 to the caster 04, the caster 04 can be moved when not under load. Once the desired position is reached, the stud lifting foot 0401 can be rotated down to contact the ground, thus transforming it into a fixed support. This reduces the stress on the caster 04 and makes the support more stable.
[0050] Furthermore, a U-shaped connecting block 0100 is fixed to the side of the vertical rod 010; a pin passes through the top two ends of the support rod 05 and is riveted to the side walls of the U-shaped connecting block 0100; a bolt passes through the U-shaped connecting block 0100 and is connected and fixed to the vertical rod 010, or the U-shaped connecting block 0100 is welded to the vertical rod 010. The support rod 05 is hinged to the U-shaped connecting block 0100, enabling it to be flipped.
[0051] It also includes a magnet 0101, with bolts passing through both ends of the magnet 0101 and connecting and fixing it to the side of the vertical rod 010. The magnet 0101 is used to attract the support rod 05.
[0052] As described above, magnet 0101 is fixed to vertical rod 010. When the support rod 05 is not in use, it flips upward and attracts the ferromagnetic magnet, making it easy to fold up and move.
[0053] In another embodiment, the magnet 0101 is directly attached to the vertical rod 010, and can be removed directly when not in use, making it convenient to replace.
[0054] Furthermore, an L-shaped connecting plate 052 is fixed to the inner side plate of the strut 05; the L-shaped connecting plate 052 and the strut 05 can be fixed by bolts or by welding; the bolts pass through the L-shaped connecting plate 052 and the first connecting piece 050 and are screwed on with nuts to achieve hinge connection;
[0055] A first insert plate 0102 is fixed to the surface of the vertical rod 010. A first pin is inserted into the first insert plate 0102 and the first connecting piece 050 for connection and fixation. The first insert plate 0102 and the vertical rod 010 can be fixed by bolts or by welding.
[0056] As described above, when the support rod 05 is lowered to support the ground, the first connecting piece 050 and the first insert plate 0102 are joined together, and the first pin passes through both to achieve connection. This prevents the support rod 05 from moving and makes the support more stable.
[0057] Furthermore, a rubber pad 053 is attached to the bottom surface of the strut 05.
[0058] As mentioned above, the rubber pad 053 acts as a buffer and shock absorber, and during the lifting and lowering of heavy objects, the support rod 05 will not make direct hard contact with the ground, thus reducing damage.
