The utility model relates to a
gantry crane travelling mechanism, which is characterized in that firstly, the
low gravity center design of a horizontal motor obviously improves the stability of the whole structure, when a
gantry crane runs, the shaking and deviation of the motor are effectively reduced, the abnormal stress of a transmission part is reduced, the running of a
transmission system is more stable and reliable, and the service life of equipment is prolonged; secondly, the connecting structure of the horizontal motor and the walking wheel box is simplified, efficient transmission of power is achieved through a
transmission system composed of a driving gear, a first transmission gear and a secondary gear, and compared with a traditional vertical installation mode, the structural strength is higher, larger loads can be borne, and the service life is prolonged. The stable operation requirement of the heavy-load
gantry crane in a high-strength operation environment is met; in addition, the space
layout of the gantry crane walking mechanism is optimized through the horizontal motor installation mode, installation, debugging and later maintenance of equipment are facilitated, the maintenance cost is reduced, the operation efficiency and safety of the gantry crane are improved, and good
economic benefits and application prospects are achieved.
