Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of novel efficient container loading and unloading equipment, in particular to, a novel lower-trolley system.

BACKGROUND

At present, a conventional quay crane having a single trolley has been mostly applied at home and abroad, and containers are loaded and unloaded by adopting the single trolley, in such a way, the loading and unloading efficiency of the single quay crane reaches the limit, but the demand of a wharf for the loading and unloading efficiency still cannot be met. For a large container ship, a manner of increasing the number of operations of the quay crane is almost adopted to increase the every-hour loading and unloading efficiency of the ship, but demands of clients for the every-hour loading and unloading efficiency of the ship cannot be met by simply increasing the number of the operations of the quay crane due to an operation interval of the quay crane. If the conventional quay crane having the single trolley is directly abandoned and replaced with a more advanced quay crane system that is newly established, people will face huge investment cost and great waste of available resources. Therefore, in order to reduce the investment cost and increase the loading and unloading efficiency of the conventional quay crane, people have to break through conventional thinking to upgrade the conventional quay crane into a structure having an upper trolley and a lower trolley, at the moment, a novel lower-trolley system matched with the quay crane urgently needs to be designed.

Specifically, the lower-trolley hoisting winding group-A 33 includes a first quay crane redirecting pulley block 36 mounted on the quay crane, further includes the first redirecting pulley block 101, the second redirecting pulley block 102, the third redirecting pulley block 103, and the fourth redirecting pulley block 104, further includes a hoist pulley-A 40 mounted on the hoist 14 of the lower trolley 3, and further includes a quay crane pulley-A 38 mounted on the double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 of the quay crane. The lower-trolley hoisting winding group-B 34 includes a hoist rope 35, further includes a second quay crane redirecting pulley block 37 mounted on the quay crane, further includes the fifth redirecting pulley block 105, the sixth redirecting pulley block 106, the seventh redirecting pulley block 107, and the eighth redirecting pulley block 108, further includes a hoist pulley-B 41 mounted on the hoist 14 of the lower trolley 3, and further includes a quay crane pulley-B 39 mounted on the double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 of the quay crane. One end of the hoist rope 35 is wound on the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-B 30, and the other end of the hoist rope 35, after firstly being wound through a lower side of the second quay crane redirecting pulley block 37 and then being wound through the eighth redirecting pulley block 108, the seventh redirecting pulley block 107, the sixth redirecting pulley block 106, the fifth redirecting pulley block 105, and the hoist pulley-B 41, is wound on the quay crane pulley-B 39, and, after being wound through the quay crane pulley-A 38 and then being wound through the first redirecting pulley block 101, the second redirecting pulley block 102, the third redirecting pulley block 103, the fourth redirecting pulley block 104, and the hoist pulley-A 40, is wound on the first quay crane redirecting pulley block 36, and is finally wound on the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-A 29. According to the present disclosure, due to the special structural design for the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism 27 and the lower-trolley hoisting winding system, the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism 27 and the lower-trolley hoisting winding system are effectively staggered from the upper-trolley hoisting mechanism 32 and the upper-trolley hoisting winding system without interfering with each other.

Further, horizontal guide wheel groups 7 are further mounted on the top of the recessed frame 5 and are arranged on outer sides of the wheels 13; and each of the horizontal guide wheel groups 7 includes a horizontal wheel 18 and a rotation shaft 21, and the horizontal wheel 18 is coaxially sleeved on the rotation shaft 21 and is able to rotate around the rotation shaft 21. The horizontal wheel 18 has a shape of an inverted horn. The horizontal guide wheel group 7 is able to prevent the wheels 13 of the lower trolley 3 from deviating and also reduce the abrasion of the outer-side tracks 15. Specifically, when the lower trolley 3 laterally deviates, the horizontal guide wheel group 7 may abut against the outer sides of the wheels 13 to correct the lateral deviation of the wheels 13 by virtue of an opposite force. In addition, when the lower trolley 3 deviates from the outer-side tracks 15, the horizontal wheel 18 rotates on sides of the outer-side tracks 15 around the rotation shaft 21, so that friction can be reduced, and the abrasion of the outer-side tracks 15 can be reduced.

The working principle of the novel lower-trolley system is that the novel lower-trolley system may be used for upgrading the conventional quay crane having the single trolley to increase the loading and unloading efficiency of the present quay crane without newly building a quay crane. Specifically, a lower trolley 3 which is recessed is suspended upside down on outer-side tracks of a double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 of an upgraded novel quay crane and is effectively staggered from an upper trolley 2 arranged on an inner side of a conventional quay crane girder, and the upper trolley 2 and the lower trolley 3 can pass by each other without interfering with each other. The novel lower-trolley system includes a lower trolley 3, a lower-trolley hoisting system, and a lower-trolley travelling system, and the lower trolley 3, the lower-trolley hoisting system and the lower-trolley travelling system are all arranged on a quay crane; the lower-trolley hoisting system is configured to drive a hoist 14 of the lower trolley 3 to rise and fall; and the lower-trolley travelling system is configured to pull the lower trolley 3 to travel along the direction of the double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 of the quay crane. The lower-trolley hoisting system includes a lower-trolley hoisting mechanism 27 and a lower-trolley hoisting winding system, and the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism 27 is configured to drive the hoist 14 of the lower trolley 3 to rise and fall through the lower-trolley hoisting winding system. The lower-trolley hoisting mechanism 27 includes a lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-A 29, a lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-B 30 and a floating coupling 31, and the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-A 29 is connected to the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-B 30 via the floating coupling 31, so that it is ensured that the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-A 29 and the lower-trolley hoisting mechanism part-B 30 operate synchronously. The lower trolley 3 is composed of a recessed frame 5, a movable trolley 6 and the like, wherein the recessed frame 5 forms a recessed self-closed space in space, and such a space is large enough to allow the container 12 hoisted by the upper trolley 2 to pass by without interference in conventional quay crane upgrading. Compared with a U-shaped frame, the present structure allows the upper trolley 2 to pass through the recessed space of the lower trolley 3 without changing the position of the girder, thereby reducing the investment. The movable trolley 6 is located on the bottom of the recessed frame 5 and is used for horizontal fine adjustment of the hoist 14. The lower trolley 3 capable of moving along the outer-side tracks 15 of the double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 and the upper trolley 2 moving on inner-side tracks 16 of the double-trapezoid four-track girder 1 have enough space to pass by each other without interfering with each other, thereby increasing the hoisting efficiency of the container 12.
