Compared with large gantry cranes, they are characterized by their compact structure, light weight, and convenient installation, making them especially suitable for lifting and moving lighter goods.

[0003] However, existing small gantry cranes use a lifting frame to lift and transport goods. During the lifting and installation process, the lifting frame and the mounting frame may collide. The lifting frame and the mounting frame are unable to absorb the impact energy generated by the collision and cannot reduce the impact load. As a result, the lifting frame and the mounting frame are damaged by the collision, causing wear and tear on the gantry crane, reducing the service life of the lifting frame and the mounting frame, and increasing the maintenance cost of the lifting frame.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 A small gantry crane includes: a crossbeam 1, a lifting motor 2 installed at the bottom of the crossbeam 1, a lifting frame 5 installed at the bottom of the lifting motor 2, and a disassembly assembly provided between the lifting motor 2 and the lifting frame 5.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 4The buffer assembly 3 is located on both sides of the lifting frame 5 and is used to buffer and protect both sides of the lifting frame 5. The buffer assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 31 fixedly installed on both sides of the lifting frame 5 and a contact plate 33 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 31. An extension assembly for adjusting the buffer plate 32 is provided between the mounting plate 31 and the buffer plate 32. The extension assembly includes multiple hinge seats 35 fixedly installed on one side of the buffer plate 32 and two slide grooves 310 opened on one side of the mounting plate 31. Two hinge seats 34 are slidably installed inside the two slide grooves 310. A linkage rod 36 is hinged between the multiple hinge seats 34 and the multiple hinge seats 35. A guide assembly for guiding the hinge seats 34 is provided inside the two slide grooves 310.

[0029] When the two lifting frames 5 collide with the two mounting frames 6, the contact plate 33 first contacts the inner wall of the two mounting frames 6, and the resulting impact force squeezes the contact plate 33 and the buffer plate 32. Then, the buffer plate 32 squeezes the linkage rod 36 at the same time, so that the linkage rod 36 is adjusted through the second hinge seat 35 and the first hinge seat 34 to complete the movement of the contact plate 33. Moreover, as the second hinge seat 35 is squeezed, the first hinge seat 34 slides on the guide rod 37 and squeezes the compression spring 39. Then, the compression spring 39 releases and buffers the impact force on the contact plate 33, thereby reducing the impact damage to the contact plate 33 and providing buffer protection for the contact plate 33, avoiding damage to the inner wall of the mounting frame 6, and improving the service life of the lifting frame 5. At the same time, it prevents the items on the lifting frame 5 from falling due to collision, so as to improve the stability of the items when lifting.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly includes a guide rod 37 fixedly installed inside the slide groove 310 and two compression springs 39 sleeved on the guide rod 37. A limiting plate 38 is fixedly installed on the guide rod 37, and the limiting plate 38 is located between the two compression springs 39. A hinge seat 34 is slidably installed on the guide rod 37, and the guide rod 37 is located on one side of the compression springs 39. Based on this, when the two hinge seats 34 slide on the guide rod 37, they can compress the two compression springs 39, thereby buffering and releasing the collision damage caused by the contact plate 33 and the mounting bracket 6, thus reducing the collision damage to the contact plate 33. At the same time, the limiting plate 38 can limit the two hinge seats 34, preventing the two compression springs 39 from being damaged due to excessive movement distance of the two hinge seats 34, thereby improving the service life of the two compression springs 39.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, mounting brackets 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the crossbeam 1, and base plates 7 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the two mounting brackets 6. A drive assembly for moving the base plate 7 is provided on the base plate 7. The drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor 13 installed on the top of the base plate 7 and a roller hub installed on the bottom of the base plate 7. Synchronous pulleys 14 are installed on one side of the roller hub and the main shaft of the dual-axis motor 13, and a synchronous belt 8 is wound between the two synchronous pulleys 14. Based on this, when it is necessary to move the base plate 7 as a whole, the dual-axis motor 13 drives the two synchronous pulleys 14 to rotate, so that the two synchronous pulleys 14 mesh with the synchronous belt 8 while rotating, thereby realizing the rotation of the roller hub. This allows the base plate 7 to move with the rotation of the roller hub, so that the gantry crane can lift items in different positions and improve the flexibility of the gantry crane during use.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the disassembly and assembly components include a hook 10 installed at the bottom of the lifting motor 2 and multiple stabilizing plates 9 installed on the outer wall of the lifting frame 5. Multiple limiting rods 11 are fixed to one side of the lifting frame 5, and the stabilizing plates 9 are inserted into the limiting rods 11. Multiple fixing bolts 12 are screwed onto one side of the stabilizing plates 9, and one side of each fixing bolt 12 penetrates the stabilizing plate 9 and extends into the interior of the lifting frame 5. A steel cable is installed on the top of the multiple stabilizing plates 9, and the steel cable is installed on the hook 10. An adjustment assembly 4 for driving the lifting motor 2 to move is provided between the crossbeam 1 and the lifting motor 2. Therefore, when it is necessary to remove the lifting frame 5 from the bottom of the hook 10, the operator first removes the two limiting rods 10. 1. Insert the cable into the interior of the stabilizing plate 9 to create a limiting position between the stabilizing plate 9 and the lifting frame 5. Then, the operator continues to rotate the fixing bolt 12 so that the fixing bolt 12 is screwed into the interior of the stabilizing plate 9. One end of the fixing bolt 12 passes through the stabilizing plate 9 and is screwed into the interior of the lifting frame 5, thus achieving the installation limiting position between the stabilizing plate 9 and the lifting frame 5. Then, the operator installs the steel cable onto the hook 10, which enables quick assembly and disassembly between the hook 10 and the lifting frame 5. This allows the operator to quickly maintain the lifting frame 5, improve its service life, and replace the lifting frame 5 according to actual usage needs, so that the lifting frame 5 can bear different items.

[0033] Please also refer to... Figure 6The adjustment assembly 4 includes a guide groove 44 formed on the top of the crossbeam 1 and an adjustment seat 41 slidably mounted on the crossbeam 1. The top of the adjustment seat 41 has an opening groove, and a drive roller 42 is rotatably mounted inside the opening groove. A drive motor 43 is mounted on one side of the adjustment seat 41. The main shaft of the drive motor 43 passes through the adjustment seat 41 and is connected to the drive roller 42. The bottom of the drive roller 42 is inside the guide groove 44. Based on this, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the lifting motor 2 and the hook 10, the drive motor 43 drives the drive roller 42 to rotate, so that the drive roller 42 rotates inside the guide groove 44 and contacts the surface of the crossbeam 1. This allows the adjustment seat 41 and the lifting motor 2 to move on the crossbeam 1 as the drive roller 42 rotates, so that the lifting motor 2 and the hook 10 can be used to lift items at different positions.
