Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grab bucket technology, specifically to an automatic unloading device for a gantry crane grab bucket. Background Technology
[0002] A grab bucket is a special lifting device installed on a crane (such as a gantry crane, bridge crane, or tower crane) for grabbing and transporting bulk materials (such as ore, coal, grain, and construction waste). Its core function is to grab and unload materials through an "opening and closing action". It is widely used in ports, mines, warehouses, construction and other scenarios, and is a core tool for heavy-duty bulk material handling. To facilitate unloading and loading, automatic unloading devices are usually installed on the grab bucket.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as the "Automatic Unloading Device for a Portal Crane Grab Bucket" disclosed in Chinese Patent "CN210795533U", include: a moving device, an electromagnetic grab bucket, and a material collection / unloading device. The moving device includes a pulley support, a load-bearing slide rod, a pulley, a motor, an axle, a wheel, a pull rope, a protective sleeve, a grab bucket mounting base, a connecting rod, an elastic rope, and a limiting block. The electromagnetic grab bucket includes a lifting ring, a grab bucket base, a grab bucket claw, a first electromagnet, an ear plate, a hydraulic telescopic rod, a connecting block, and a second electromagnet. The material collection / unloading device includes a hinge ring, a cross plate, a support plate, and a third electromagnet.
[0004] As described in the above-mentioned utility model, although the tension or clamping force of the grab claw is increased by passing the same or opposite current to the second and third electromagnets so that the opposite magnetic poles are the same or opposite, the second and third magnets are both located inside the grab. During the clamping process, the surface of the magnet will always be in direct contact with the clamped material. In this case, the magnet is prone to damage and breakage, reducing the service life of the magnet. Utility Model Content

[0031] This utility model provides an automatic unloading device for a gantry crane grab bucket, the specific working principle of which is as follows: Before use, first complete the installation of the protective cover 4: put the protective cover 4 on the outside of the electromagnet 3, so that the connecting bolt 5 passes through the square through hole 6 of the grab claw 1 and the round through hole 8 of the connecting piece 7; push the adjusting block 92 to compress the pressure spring 10, align the fixing rod 93 with the fixing through hole 94 of the connecting bolt 5 and insert it, while the other end of the fixing rod 93 is inserted into the docking seat 95, release the adjusting block 92, the pressure spring 10 returns to its original position and pushes the adjusting block 92, so that the fixing rod 93 is stably limited, and the installation of the protective cover 4 is completed. During loading, the electromagnet 3 is energized to generate attraction, which, together with the grab claw 1, grabs the material. The material comes into contact with the protective cover 4, preventing direct compression of the electromagnet 3. After unloading, if there is material adhering to the surface of the protective cover 4, the drive motor 19 is started, which drives the adjustment plate 18 to rotate. The actuating rod 20 on the adjustment plate 18 slides in the long slot of the reciprocating rod 21, pushing the reciprocating rod 21 to rotate back and forth around the fixed frame 16. The gear section of the reciprocating rod 21 meshes with the rack section of the striking rod 17, causing the striking rod 17 to slide back and forth along the positioning plate 23. One end of the striking rod 17 continuously strikes the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 slides along the guide rod 24 and compresses the return spring 25. When the return spring 25 returns to its original position, it causes the connecting plate 7 to shake in the opposite direction, thereby causing the protective cover 4 to vibrate synchronously, shaking off the material adhering to the surface and achieving self-cleaning. If the protective cover 4 needs to be replaced, the staff can directly move the adjusting block 92 to make the fixing rod 93 exit from the fixing through hole 94. At this time, the tension spring 14 will restore its elastic deformation and pull the baffle 13 to move, so that the baffle blocks the fixing rod 93. Then the protective cover 4 can be directly pulled out and replaced. After replacing the new protective cover 4, repeat the installation steps.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
