Words such as "including" or "comprising" mean that the element preceding the word encompasses the element listed after it, and do not exclude the possibility of encompassing other elements as well. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0023] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a leg structure for a gantry crane is disclosed, including a bottom beam 1. Sliding sleeves 7 are symmetrically slidably fitted at both ends of the bottom beam 1. A fixed tube 4 is vertically fixed at the center of the top of the bottom beam 1. A lifting rod 5 is slidably installed inside the upper end of the fixed tube 4. A top beam 2 is vertically fixed at the top of the lifting rod 5. Diagonal bracing assemblies 6 are hinged to both ends of the top beam 2. One end of the diagonal bracing assembly 6, facing away from the top beam 2, is hinged to the top of the sliding sleeves 7. A fine-tuning mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the bottom beam 1 to drive the two sliding sleeves 7 to move closer or further apart synchronously. In this embodiment, the fine-tuning mechanism 8... The adjusting mechanism 8 drives the two sliding sleeves 7 to move closer or further apart synchronously. The sliding sleeves 7 drive the lower ends of the two diagonal brace assemblies 6 to move closer or further apart synchronously. The length of the diagonal brace assemblies 6 remains unchanged. The upper ends of the two diagonal brace assemblies 6 drive the top beam 2 to move up or down, thus realizing a small adjustment of the height of the crane beam at its top. When adjusting the height of the top beam 2, the bottom of the top beam 2 slides inside the fixed tube 4 at the top of the bottom beam 1 through the lifting rod 5. The fixed tube 4 cooperates with the lifting rod 5 to restrict the lifting rod 5 to move up and down only during adjustment, thus ensuring the stability of the top beam 2.

[0024] In some embodiments, as a specific implementation of the fine-tuning mechanism 8, the fine-tuning mechanism 8 has a movable seat 85 fixedly disposed on one side of the sliding sleeve 7, and a bidirectional screw 82 rotatably disposed on one side of the bottom beam 1 parallel to it. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 82 have two external threads with opposite helical directions. The movable seat 85 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 82. When the bidirectional screw 82 is rotated, the thread structure between the bidirectional screw 82 and the movable seat 85 drives the two movable seats 85 to move the two sliding sleeves 7 synchronously closer or further apart, thereby realizing the fine-tuning of the height of the top beam 2.

[0025] In some embodiments, a support 81 is fixedly provided in the center of one side of the bottom beam 1, and the middle part of the bidirectional screw 82 is rotatably disposed inside the support 81. The support 81 provides rotational support for the bidirectional screw 82. Limiting blocks 83 are fixedly provided at both ends of the bidirectional screw 82. The limiting blocks 83 play a limiting and blocking role for the movable seat 85, preventing the limiting blocks 83 from disengaging from the bidirectional screw 82. A fine-tuning hexagonal prism 84 is fixedly provided in the center of the end of the limiting block 83 that is away from the bidirectional screw. The fine-tuning hexagonal prism 84 is easy to clamp with a wrench, so as to rotate and adjust the bidirectional screw 82.

[0026] In some embodiments, the diagonal bracing assembly 6 has a diagonal bracing tube 61, with a diagonal bracing rod 62 slidably fitted inside one end of the diagonal bracing tube 61. The end of the diagonal bracing rod 62 facing away from the diagonal bracing tube 61 is hinged to the end of the top beam 2, and the end of the diagonal bracing tube 61 facing away from the diagonal bracing rod 62 is hinged to the top of the sliding sleeve 7. Adjustment holes 63 are evenly provided on the diagonal bracing rod 61, and a bolt and nut mechanism 64 corresponding to the adjustment holes 63 is provided at the end of the diagonal bracing tube 61. The bolt and nut mechanism 64 locks the diagonal bracing rod 62 and the diagonal bracing tube 61 with different adjustment holes 63, which can change the length of the diagonal bracing assembly 6, thereby causing a significant change in the height of the top beam 2. With the fine-tuning mechanism 8 for fine-tuning the height of the top beam 2, this support structure can provide a variety of different support heights.

[0027] In some embodiments, two fixed pipes 4 are arranged parallel to each other at the center of the top of the bottom beam 1, and an adjusting support mechanism 9 is arranged between the upper ends of the two fixed pipes 4. The upper end of the adjusting support mechanism 9 abuts against the bottom of the top beam 2. The adjusting support mechanism 9 provides support to the bottom of the top beam 2, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the top beam 2.

[0028] In some embodiments, the adjusting support mechanism 9 has a threaded pipe 91 fixedly disposed between the upper ends of two fixed pipes 4. The threaded pipe 91 is internally threaded with a support screw 92. The upper end of the support screw 92 is rotatably disposed with a support plate 94 that abuts against the bottom of the top beam 2. When the support screw 92 is rotated, the threaded structure between the support screw 92 and the threaded pipe 91 can drive the support screw 92 to move up and down, so that the support plate 94 at the upper end of the support screw 92 abuts against the bottom of the top beam 2, providing support for the bottom of the adjusted top beam 2.

[0029] In some embodiments, support plates 95 are fixedly provided at both the upper and lower ends of the threaded pipe 91, and the two ends of the support plates 95 are respectively fixedly connected to the sides of the two fixed pipes 4.

[0030] In some embodiments, a supporting hexagonal prism 93 is provided at the lower end of the supporting screw 92. The supporting hexagonal prism 93 can be clamped and fixed by a wrench to facilitate the rotational adjustment of the supporting screw 92.

[0031] In some embodiments, a bracket 3 is fixedly provided at the center of the top of the top beam 2, and the top of the bracket 3 is assembled and fixed to the end of the crane beam by bolts.

[0032] In some embodiments, mounting bases 11 are fixedly provided at the bottom of both ends of the bottom beam 1, and the bottom of the mounting bases 11 is used to assemble and fix the casters.
