Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machinery, in particular to a simple gantry crane traveling commutation device. Background Technique
[0002] A gantry crane is a large-scale lifting equipment with a bridge supported on ground tracks by two side legs. It is named because it resembles the character "door". It mainly consists of a bridge, legs, a trolley running mechanism, a crab running mechanism, and a hoisting mechanism. Relying on the structural advantage of spanning both sides of the track, it can efficiently complete the vertical lifting and horizontal handling of heavy objects in open-air sites, freight yards, and port scenarios. It is widely used in container handling, steel lifting, and engineering construction fields, and is a key equipment for realizing the large-scale and precise transfer of heavy objects in modern logistics and industrial production.
[0003] In the existing gantry crane, the gantry is manually lifted by a jack, the flange on the moving wheel is fixed without bolts, the moving wheel is turned, and then the flange is locked, so as to realize the commutation of the gantry crane. However, the commutation requires multiple steps and takes a long time for a single commutation, which cannot adapt to the operation that needs to frequently adjust the direction. The existing technology adopts a combination of a small hydraulic pump station and a hydraulic cylinder. Each leg is equipped with an independent hydraulic cylinder, and the oil circuit is controlled by a solenoid valve to realize synchronous or independent lifting. With the cooperation of a displacement sensor, the lifting height can be accurately controlled. Then, the steering wheel is rotated to realize the commutation of the gantry crane. However, the gantry crane has four legs (or more). When using independent hydraulic cylinders, affected by factors such as the difference in the length of the oil pipes, the inconsistent response speed of the solenoid valves, and the different internal leakage amounts of the cylinders, the lifting heights of each leg will be inconsistent, resulting in the inclination of the gantry, causing structural deformation or cargo shaking, and there are great safety hazards.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] 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.
[0018] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a simple gantry crane travel reversing device, including a frame 1. Multiple reversing mechanisms 2 are installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the frame 1. The reversing mechanisms 2 are used for reversing direction. A cleaning mechanism 3 is installed at the rear end of each reversing mechanism 2 for cleaning dust. Each of the multiple reversing mechanisms 2 includes a steering wheel assembly 201, which is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the frame 1. A rotating shaft 202 is rotatably connected to the top of the outer wall of the steering wheel assembly 201. A load-bearing plate 203 is installed on the top outer side of the steering wheel assembly 201, and the interior of the load-bearing plate 203 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. A drive assembly 204 is installed at the top outer side of the steering wheel assembly 201, and the drive assembly 204 includes a motor 2041, which is installed on the steering wheel assembly 201. At the outer top of 1, the output end of motor 2041 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 2042. The front end of the outer wall of drive shaft 2042 is fixedly connected to bevel gear 1 2043. The bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 1 2043 is installed with bevel gear 2044. The bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 1 2043 meshes with the rear side of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044. The bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of rotating shaft 202. A protective cover 2045 is installed at the outer front end of motor 2041. The outer wall of protective cover 2045 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of hanger 1. A heat sink 2047 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of motor 2041. A fixing frame 2046 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of motor 2041. The bottom end of the outer wall of fixing frame 2046 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of hanger 1. Specifically, after starting the motor 2041, the power generated at its output end directly drives the transmission shaft 2042 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the transmission shaft 2042 then causes the bevel gear 2043 at the front end of the outer wall to rotate accordingly. Since the bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 2043 is meshed with the rear side of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044, the rotation of bevel gear 2043 directly drives bevel gear 2044 to rotate. The bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044 is welded to the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. Therefore, when bevel gear 2044 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 202 to rotate as well. The rotating shaft 202 can rotate smoothly in the middle of the load-bearing plate 203. The smooth rotation of the motor 2041 directly causes the steering wheel assembly 201 to rotate, thereby completing the entire reversing action. During this process, the protective cover 2045 on the outer front end of the motor 2041 completely covers the first bevel gear 2043 and the second bevel gear 2044, providing effective protection for both and preventing external factors from interfering with the meshing transmission. The fixing bracket 2046 at the bottom of the outer wall of the motor 2041 is tightly connected to the mounting base, enhancing the stability of the motor 2041 installation and preventing shaking during operation. The heat dissipation plate 2047 at the rear end of the outer wall can quickly conduct the heat generated by the motor 2041 during operation, helping the motor 2041 to dissipate heat and ensuring that the overall mechanism always operates stably.
[0019] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning brush 301, which is installed at the rear end of the reversing mechanism 2. A rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the cleaning brush 301. A power assembly 304 is installed at the outer rear end of the cleaning brush 301. The power assembly 304 includes a servo motor 3041, and a worm gear 3042 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 3041. A worm wheel 3043 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the worm gear 3042. The top of the outer wall of the worm gear 3042 meshes with the bottom of the outer wall of the worm wheel 3043. The middle part is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. A limit ring 3044 is installed at the front end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. The inside of the limit ring 3044 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. A heat sink 3045 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the limit ring 3044. A limit frame 303 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. The upper middle inner wall of the limit frame 303 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. A support frame 3046 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the servo motor 3041. The support frame 3046 is installed on the outside of the worm gear 3042. Specifically, after the servo motor 3041 is turned on, its output directly drives the worm gear 3042 to rotate. Since the worm gear 3042 and the worm wheel 3043 are in a meshing state, the rotation of the worm gear 3042 will directly drive the worm wheel 3043 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 302, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the worm wheel 3043, to rotate synchronously. The rear end of the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 301. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 302 rotates, the cleaning brush 301 will rotate accordingly to clean the surface of the heat sink 2047. The limiting ring 3044 is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 302. Its interior is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 302, which can play a clear limiting role and effectively prevent the rotating shaft 302 from axial movement during rotation. The top of the limiting ring 3044 is fixed to the heat sink 3045. Two cooling fans are installed. While the cleaning brush 301 rotates to clean the heat sink 2047, the cooling fans work simultaneously, creating continuous air convection inside the motor 2041 to accelerate heat dissipation. The limit bracket 303 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, with its upper inner wall rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 302, which further enhances the stability of the rotating shaft 302 during rotation and prevents shaking. The bottom of the servo motor 3041 is fixed to the outside of the worm gear 3042 by the support bracket 3046, which can ensure the overall stability of the power component 304 and keep the entire cleaning mechanism 3 in a high-efficiency operating state. It can not only thoroughly clean the heat sink 2047, but also significantly accelerate the heat dissipation of the motor 2041 and extend the service life of the motor 2041.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A steel plate bridge lifting cable 4 is installed in the middle of the hanger 1. Multiple plumb bobs 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the steel plate bridge lifting cable 4. After the steel plate bridge is hoisted, the plumb bobs 5 can prevent the steel plate bridge lifting cable 4 from being blown away from the steel plate bridge in windy weather. Specifically, a steel plate bridge lifting cable 4 is installed in the middle of the hanger 1. Multiple plumb bobs 5 are installed on the outer wall of the steel plate bridge lifting cable 4. These plumb bobs 5 are evenly distributed along the length of the cable. During the lifting of the steel plate bridge, the plumb bobs 5 will increase the overall sag of the steel plate bridge lifting cable 4 by utilizing their own characteristics, so that the cable fits more tightly against the surface of the steel plate bridge. When strong winds come, they can effectively resist the wind blowing the cable and prevent the steel plate bridge lifting cable 4 from deviating from the steel plate bridge under the action of wind. This ensures the relative position of the cable and the steel plate bridge is stable during the lifting process and avoids the safety and stability of the lifting operation due to cable displacement.
[0021] Working principle: After starting motor 2041, its output end will drive transmission shaft 2042 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes bevel gear 2043 at the front end of the outer wall of transmission shaft 2042 to rotate. Since the bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 2043 is meshed with the rear side of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044, the rotation of bevel gear 2043 will drive bevel gear 2044 to rotate. The bottom of the outer wall of bevel gear 2044 is welded to the top of the outer wall of rotating shaft 202, so bevel gear 2044 will drive rotating shaft 202. Rotating together, the rotating shaft 202 can rotate in the middle of the load-bearing plate 203, and its rotation can cause the steering wheel group 201 to rotate, thereby completing the reversing action. During this process, the protective cover 2045 on the outer front end of the motor 2041 provides effective protection for the first bevel gear 2043 and the second bevel gear 2044. The fixing bracket 2046 at the bottom of the outer wall of the motor 2041 enhances the stability of the motor 2041 installation. The heat dissipation plate 2047 at the rear end of the outer wall can help the motor 2041 dissipate heat and ensure the stable operation of the overall mechanism. After the servo motor 3041 is turned on, its output end drives the worm gear 3042 to rotate. Since the worm gear 3042 meshes with the worm wheel 3043, the rotation of the worm gear 3042 can drive the worm wheel 3043 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 302, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the worm wheel 3043, to rotate. The rear end of the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 301, thereby causing the cleaning brush 301 to rotate and clean the heat sink 2047. The limiting ring 3044 is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 302 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 302 inside, which plays a limiting role and prevents the rotating shaft 302 from moving axially. The heat sink bracket 3045 is fixed at the top of the limiting ring 3044. Two cooling fans are installed on the top. When the cleaning brush 301 rotates for cleaning, the cooling fans work synchronously to form air convection inside the motor 2041, accelerating the heat dissipation of the motor 2041. The limit bracket 303 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, with the upper inner wall rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 302, further enhancing the stability of the rotating shaft 302. The bottom of the servo motor 3041 is fixed to the outside of the worm gear 3042 by the support bracket 3046, ensuring the stability of the power component 304 and enabling the entire cleaning mechanism 3 to operate efficiently. It not only cleans the heat sink 2047 but also accelerates the heat dissipation of the motor 2041, extending the service life of the motor 2041.
