Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of portal cranes, specifically relating to a portal crane for the construction of superconducting high-speed maglev tracks. Background Technology
[0002] Gantry cranes are a type of bridge crane, primarily used in outdoor freight yards, ports, and bulk cargo loading and unloading operations. Their metal structure is a portal frame, with two legs mounted under the main beam allowing direct movement on ground tracks. Cantilever beams can extend from both ends of the main beam to expand the working range. Currently, existing gantry cranes on the market typically use triangular supports for their side columns and are constructed using single crossbeams. This limits the range of lengths of objects they can lift. For continuously lifting objects of varying lengths, different gantry cranes are required, increasing equipment purchase and maintenance costs. For example, Chinese patent CN218507389U discloses a gantry crane for hydropower stations. This gantry crane includes a support unit, a gantry beam unit, and a mounting unit. The support unit includes a support assembly and a movable assembly located at the bottom of the support assembly. The gantry beam unit is located at the top of the support assembly and includes a gantry beam and support rods symmetrically arranged at both ends of the gantry beam. The mounting unit is located on the gantry beam and includes a mounting assembly and a hook assembly located at the lower end of the mounting assembly. The support unit and the gantry beam unit together constitute the main frame of this gantry crane, and the mounting unit is installed on the gantry beam and can move linearly on the gantry beam. However, when constructing superconducting high-speed maglev tracks, this solution is difficult to apply to the operational requirements of the track's tonnage and is also difficult to apply to the lifting of a large number of prefabricated components of various sizes.
[0003] In summary, since superconducting high-speed maglev tracks are composed of various prefabricated components of different lengths and types, in order to promote the efficient and low-cost construction of superconducting high-speed maglev tracks, a gantry crane that can accommodate prefabricated components of different lengths and types is needed for the efficient lifting and installation of different types of prefabricated components in superconducting high-speed maglev tracks.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared to existing gantry cranes, this invention can quickly change the longitudinal length of the gantry crane by rapidly adding or removing corresponding top and bottom extended steel longitudinal beams, thus efficiently and quickly accommodating the lifting of various prefabricated components of different lengths and types. Secondly, this invention can quickly connect and fix the steel longitudinal beams and extended steel longitudinal beams via a moving mechanism, and change the forward and backward movement direction of the bottom steel longitudinal beam, thereby realizing the forward or backward movement of the gantry crane.

Specifically, the fixed crane frame includes a steel crossbeam 1, with parallel top fixed steel longitudinal beams 21 at both ends of the steel crossbeam 1, and parallel bottom fixed steel longitudinal beams 31 at the bottom of the top fixed steel longitudinal beams 21; several steel columns 4 are arranged along the length direction between the top fixed steel longitudinal beams 21 and the bottom fixed steel longitudinal beams 31 on the same side; several I-beams 6 are arranged between adjacent top fixed steel longitudinal beams 21.

[0016] This utility model is generally used based on a fixed lifting frame, which can meet the tonnage requirements of track laying. When it is necessary to lift special prefabricated components, an extension lifting frame of the corresponding size can be quickly disassembled and connected to the fixed lifting frame to accommodate the lifting of prefabricated components of different sizes. During the docking process between the fixed lifting frame and the extension lifting frame, a driving travel mechanism can be used to achieve rapid docking. Specifically, a travel mechanism can be set at the end of the extension lifting frame near the fixed lifting frame. After the fixed lifting frame and the extension lifting frame are connected, the travel mechanism can be removed. During use, the gantry crane can also be quickly moved to the working position by driving the travel mechanism.

[0021] In use, the prefabricated component to be hoisted is lifted to a certain height by four electric hoists 7 on both sides.
