Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of port machinery maintenance technology, specifically a container spreader end beam bottom plate replacement device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, container spreader floor plate maintenance faces two major technical bottlenecks. Wear on the slotted holes in the spreader floor plate is unavoidable. After several years of use, if the slotted holes are worn and enlarged, the spreader floor plate can be repaired or replaced through welding. However, due to the irregular wear pattern of the slotted holes and the limited working space, actual welding operations are difficult to achieve ideal results and can only be used as a temporary emergency measure.
[0003] When replacing the base plate, positioning is the first step. However, positioning presents the following difficulties: the welding of the new base plate must simultaneously meet the coaxiality requirement of ≤0.4mm between the pivot pin's waist-shaped hole and the end beam's load-bearing plate's locking pin hole, as well as the positional tolerance of ±0.5mm for the top pin fixing hole. Traditionally, the telescopic beam and end beam of the lifting device are not yet assembled together, and the end beam base plate is welded through positioning. However, traditional manual positioning suffers from technical problems such as large deviations (>5mm), high operational risks, and low efficiency, making it unsuitable for maintenance scenarios of in-service equipment.

The weld seam at the base plate can then be welded in sections, and the welding deformation problem can be effectively avoided after fixing.
