Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hoisting equipment technology, and in particular to a carbon fiber mechanical arm for a gantry crane and its guide rail. Background Technology
[0002] Gantry cranes are large lifting equipment, named for their resemblance to a door frame. They are widely used in ports, docks, and factories to achieve vertical lifting and horizontal handling of goods. Modern gantry cranes are constantly innovating in structure, using lightweight aluminum alloy materials to reduce weight, and improving flexibility through modular and foldable designs. Some models also have adjustable height and span functions to adapt to different site and cargo requirements. Under the trend of intelligentization, gantry cranes have integrated automated control systems, enabling remote operation and fault diagnosis. For example, gantry cranes in automated terminals can accurately dock containers, greatly improving logistics efficiency. As a core piece of equipment in industrial handling, gantry cranes play a key role in global supply chains and engineering construction due to their high efficiency and reliability. To improve the practicality of gantry cranes, a carbon fiber robotic arm and its guide rails are needed.
[0003] Currently available gantry crane carbon fiber robotic arms and their guide rails mainly consist of motors, support devices, and fixing devices. They are used for container loading and unloading in ports and industrial manufacturing. In ports, they can quickly lift containers to reduce equipment load. In industrial workshops, they can accurately handle precision components and adapt to high and low temperature environments. However, when the robotic arm is lifting heavy objects or experiencing accidental collisions, the carbon fiber structure is prone to delamination and cracking, affecting its strength and service life. To solve these problems, existing technologies only add elastic buffer elements at the joint connections to absorb instantaneous impact and avoid stress concentration. However, they have not improved the height-adjustable structure of the gantry crane, resulting in an inability to adapt to different working scenarios at different heights. Additional platforms need to be built or the stacking height of goods needs to be adjusted, increasing operating costs and time, and failing to meet usage requirements. Utility Model Content

The rising and falling of the lifting rod drives the support foot to contact the ground and provide support force, thereby realizing the support and fixation of the gantry crane and avoiding movement during hoisting, which could cause safety accidents.
