The plurality of anti-loosening mechanisms are arranged along the linear guide rail, and all of the plurality of anti-loosening mechanisms are located on the left side of the linear guide rail. Each anti-loosening mechanism is provided with a protruding structure that protrudes to the right, and the protruding structure is engaged in a groove on the left side of the linear guide rail.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a gantry crane for welding and cutting, the gantry crane comprising:

[0038] Two upper horizontal arms 11 are set at intervals and parallel to each other along the front-to-back direction;

[0039] The crossbeam 2 is connected to the front ends of the two upper cross arms 11 respectively;

[0040] A movable seat 3 is disposed at the crossbeam 2, and the movable seat 3 is used to reciprocate along the crossbeam 2.

[0041] A vertical beam 4 is provided at the movable seat 3, and the vertical beam 4 is used to move up and down along the movable seat 3.

[0042] Two vertical arms 12, the top of each vertical arm 12 being connected to the rear end of one of the upper horizontal arms 11; and

[0043] Two lower horizontal arms 13 are arranged at intervals, corresponding one-to-one with the two upper horizontal arms 11. The bottom of each vertical arm 12 is connected to the rear end of one of the lower horizontal arms 13.

[0044] It should be noted that the gantry equipment in this embodiment is used for welding and cutting. It can be equipped with a welding or cutting device mounted on the vertical beam 4, or it can be equipped with auxiliary equipment for the welding and cutting process, such as an electromagnetic gripping device, a visual recognition device, or other welding and cutting auxiliary equipment. Of course, the bottom of the vertical beam 4 can also integrate multiple devices, such as simultaneously integrating a plasma cutter and an electromagnetic gripping device.

[0045] In this invention, the upper horizontal arms 11, vertical arms 12, and lower horizontal arms 13 on both sides form a C-shaped support column, effectively supporting the crossbeam 2 and ensuring that the gantry crane can handle heavy and large workpieces. Furthermore, the two lower horizontal arms 13 are spaced vertically relative to the two upper horizontal arms 11, allowing workpieces being moved along the crossbeam 2 to pass smoothly through the gap between the front ends of the lower horizontal arms 13 and the upper horizontal arms 11, ensuring that the lateral movement range of the vertical beam 4 is not interfered with. This also ensures the flexibility of movement of the movable seat 3 on the crossbeam 2 and the vertical beam 4. Thus, the normal operation of the gantry crane is not limited by confined spaces. More importantly, this C-shaped support column significantly reduces the length of the gantry crane in the front-to-back direction compared to existing support columns, halving its length and significantly reducing its volume. This enables the gantry crane to operate normally in confined spaces, allowing existing welding and cutting production lines to meet the needs of intelligent and automated welding and cutting of a wide variety of large workpieces.

[0046] Furthermore, each of the upper cross arms 11 is arranged perpendicularly to the cross beam 2, one upper cross arm 11 is located at the left end of the cross beam 2, and the other upper cross arm 11 is located near the center of the cross beam 2.

[0047] Since gantry cranes often need to be installed on tracks, two parallel tracks must be installed inside the factory. These tracks are typically raised above the factory floor, and the distance between them is usually considerable, thus affecting the movement range of vehicles within the factory. While it's possible to lower the track height to near-flush with the factory floor, this increases the installation cost of the gantry crane. Furthermore, frequent vehicle traffic on the tracks causes wear and tear, reducing the gantry crane's maneuverability. Additionally, for some sophisticated intelligent mobile transport vehicles, the movement along the buried tracks can still cause bumps, affecting the lifespan of internal components.

[0048] Therefore, in this embodiment, one upper crossarm 11 is located at the left end of the crossbeam 2, and the other upper crossarm 11 is located near the center of the crossbeam 2. This shortens the distance between the two parallel tracks, allowing the transport vehicle to simply stop below the right end of the crossbeam 2, and then the vertical beam 4 passes along the crossbeam 2 through the upper crossarm 11 and the lower crossarm 13 to hoist the workpiece onto the transport vehicle located below the right end of the crossbeam 2. The transport vehicle does not need to cross the tracks. This reduces the installation cost of the gantry crane, improves the convenience of transport by the transport vehicle, and extends the lifespan of the components inside the transport vehicle.

[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that the other upper cross arm 11 being positioned close to the center of the crossbeam 2 can mean that the other upper cross arm 11 is positioned at the midpoint of the length of the crossbeam 2, or it can mean that it is positioned to the left or right of the midpoint of the length of the crossbeam 2, depending on the specific usage of the gantry equipment.

[0050] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib support arm 5 is provided on the right side of each of the upper cross arms 11, and the reinforcing rib support arm 5 connects the right side of the upper cross arm 11 to the bottom surface of the cross beam 2.

[0051] Two reinforcing rib support arms 5 are used to effectively support the right side of the crossbeam 2.

[0052] The reinforcing rib support arm 5 here can be composed of multiple inverted right-angled triangular plates arranged sequentially along the front-back direction.

[0053] Furthermore, a linear guide rail is provided below each of the lower cross arms 13, and the two linear guide rails are arranged parallel to each other. The lower cross arm 13 moves back and forth along the linear guide rail, and the cross section of the linear guide rail is I-shaped.

[0054] The lower horizontal arm 13 is prevented from becoming loose from the linear guide by using a linear guide and a corresponding slider.

[0055] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-loosening mechanisms are provided at the bottom end of the lower cross arm 13 located at the left end of the cross beam 2. The plurality of anti-loosening mechanisms are arranged along the linear guide rail, and all of the plurality of anti-loosening mechanisms are located on the left side of the linear guide rail. The anti-loosening mechanism is provided with a protruding structure protruding to the right, and the protruding structure is engaged in the groove on the left side of the linear guide rail.

[0056] The protruding structure of the anti-loosening mechanism is used to lock into the groove on the left side of the linear guide rail to prevent the workpiece transported on the right end of the crossbeam 2 from being too heavy, which would cause the crossbeam 2 to overturn to the right.

[0057] Furthermore, each of the lower cross arms 13 is provided with a helical gear and a driver at its bottom, the driver being used to drive the helical gear to rotate.

[0058] Each of the linear guide rails is provided with a helical rack, which is arranged along the linear guide rail and meshes with the helical gear in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0059] The helical gear is driven to rotate by the driver, so that the helical gear moves along the helical rack, and the lower horizontal arm 13 moves on the linear guide rail.

[0060] Furthermore, the lower horizontal arm 13 is longer than the upper horizontal arm 11.

[0061] The crossbeam 2 is positioned above the two upper cross arms 11, and the front of the crossbeam 2 is flush with the front end face of the upper cross arms 11.

[0062] This design improves the stability of the support for the crossbeam 2 and prevents the crossbeam 2 from tilting forward.

[0063] Furthermore, the upper horizontal arm 11, the vertical arm 12, and the lower horizontal arm 13, which are connected in sequence, are integrally formed shell structures, and multiple reinforcing ribs are provided inside the shell structure.

[0064] This configuration reduces the manufacturing difficulty, cost, and overall weight of the upper cross arm 11, the vertical arm 12, and the lower cross arm 13, while simultaneously increasing the support strength of the upper cross arm 11, the vertical arm 12, and the lower cross arm 13 for the crossbeam 2, preventing deformation of the shell.

[0065] Furthermore, in a vertical plane perpendicular to the crossbeam 2, the top edge of the upper cross arm 11 is a horizontal straight line, and the bottom edge of the upper cross arm 11 is an oblique line facing the front side of the lower cross arm 13.

[0066] In a vertical plane perpendicular to the crossbeam 2, the bottom edge of the lower cross arm 13 is a horizontal straight line, and the top edge of the lower cross arm 13 is an oblique line facing the front side of the upper cross arm 11.

[0067] This configuration increases the distance between the front end of the upper horizontal arm 11 and the lower horizontal arm 13, and simultaneously improves the connection strength between the upper horizontal arm 11 and the vertical arm 12, as well as the connection strength between the lower horizontal arm 13 and the vertical arm 12.

[0068] In addition, this embodiment also provides an intelligent welding and cutting production line, including the aforementioned gantry equipment.

[0069] Since the technical effects achieved by this intelligent welding and cutting production line are the same as those of the gantry equipment described above, the intelligent welding and cutting production line will not be explained further.

[0070] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
