Gantry crane's main use, purpose and basic requirements

One 450-ton gantry crane, with a gauge of 130 meters and a track length of 350 meters, is installed above the second slide. The crane operation area covers the whole slideway operation area. To improve the speed of group block construction, shorten the time of occupying the slipway, realize the new process of group block construction that the structural deck piece is prefabricated in the workshop, set equipment, pipe sink, electrical instrumentation, bracket accessories, etc. to form a single module, and realize the overall lifting of the single module. At the same time, shoulder the structural deck piece of turning and other large structures loading and unloading.

Gantry crane structure type and function

The gantry crane is composed of the main beam, rigid leg, flexible leg, balance beam, wheel frame and other steel structural parts, the main beam is welded to the rigid leg, and the flexible leg is hinged to connect. The upper trolley with a lifting capacity of 2?50t and the lower trolley of 350t/50t are installed on the main beam, and the lower trolley can pass under the upper trolley. Through the mechanical system and electrical control system such as upper and lower trolley and trolley operation, in order to realize the crane lifting, lifting and air segment turning and other functions. In the whole range of the main beam upper and lower trolley hook centerline overlap when the upper trolley single lift lifting capacity of 450 tons, the maximum lifting capacity of the air turn over 450 tons. The lifting capacity refers to the weight of the lifted object below the sling.

The main steel structure of the crane includes: gantry steel structure, upper trolley steel structure, lower trolley steel structure, large trolley balance beam and maintenance crane steel structure. The gantry steel structure is mainly composed of main beam, rigid leg, flexible leg and lower cross beam. The rigid legs are rigidly connected with the main beam through welding. The flexible legs are flexibly connected with the main beam through flexible strands. The upper trolley steel structure is mainly composed of upper trolley frame and lifting mechanism, etc. The lower trolley steel structure is mainly composed of lower trolley frame and lifting mechanism, etc. The balance beam of the big car is mainly composed of the cart frame and balance beam at all levels, etc. The steel structure of maintenance crane is mainly composed of tubular column and slewing boom, etc. The technical requirements for the main steel structure are.

  1. The design of the main load-bearing structure of the crane should strive for simplicity, clear forces, direct load transfer and reduce the impact of stress concentration. Strictly in line with the requirements of static and dynamic rigidity and stability, and should fully consider the impact of the use of the environment on the structure.
  2. Steel structure using welded structure, the main steel materials should have good welding technology and meet the requirements of low-temperature impact toughness.
  3. Gantry crane gantry structure design must take into account the convenience and possibility of manufacturing, inspection, transportation, installation and maintenance.

The manufacture, welding and inspection of the steel structure should be carried out in accordance with the relevant standards in Article 2, the relevant main materials, processes and testing items should be submitted for validation during the design review, and the main beam splice plate butt should be double-sided welding process.
  5. A reasonable drainage system shall be designed to avoid water accumulation inside and on the surface of the structure (or structural members).

Main beam

  1. The main beam shall be of variable-section welded box-type structure.
  2. Optimize the design of the main beam to meet the specification and use conditions, and reduce the weight of the structure. And fully consider the low temperature state, sunlight caused by temperature deformation and other factors.

Full consideration is given to setting maintenance lifting holes, maintenance channels and working platforms to ensure that maintenance personnel can reach all maintenance parts.
  4. The main beam should be designed and manufactured with the upper arch in mind, and the upper arch in the span should be (0.9/1000~1.4/1000) S. The maximum arch in the upper arch should be controlled within the span s/10 (s-is the crane span). When the crane is fully loaded and the trolley is stopped in the middle of the span, the vertical static deflection of the main beam shall not be greater than S/800.
  5. The upper part of the main beam is designed to drain the rainwater channel.

Crane mechanism part

  1. Mainly includes the upper and lower trolley lifting and running mechanism, the large car running mechanism and maintenance crane, elevator and other auxiliary institutions. The design of each institution should comply with the specifications and meet the requirements of its working level.
  2. The equipment of each institution, components, such as gear boxes, brakes, couplings, reels, go wheels, pulleys, hooks, bearings and the materials used must be selected and strictly calculated and calibrated in accordance with the specifications and standards in Article 2. In order to reduce the number of spare parts specifications, the design should try to use common, easy to procure products.
  3. Set up centralized lubrication system according to the institution, its lubrication point should be convenient. Easy to check the lubrication status, the lubricant used for the use of the environment (in -20 ℃ can be used normally). To have lubrication point chart, lubrication point location is clear.
  4. Walking mechanism using motor, reducer, brake “three in one” combination form, through the dolly centralized drive mode. Bearings in principle using rolling bearings, gears and walking mechanism to go wheel working surface must be surface hardening treatment to meet the specification requirements.
  5. The lifting mechanism of the trolley and the walking mechanism of the trolley and trolley should be installed with absolute value encoder to provide accurate signal for the electronic control system to indicate its current position.
  6. The trolley machine room should take measures such as heat insulation, heat preservation, dustproof and rainproof.
  7. Lifting mechanism wire rope should be used without distortion, no stress, no loose tendency of 8 strands of steel wire rope, the outer strand surface solid, wear-resistant and lubrication to make the steel core long-lasting rust-free wire rope. Its nominal tensile strength level should be in line with the corresponding current standard products.
