1.Main beam

1) The main beam of a double-girder gantry crane is composed of two parallel steel beams and connected to the ground through legs, bearing the weight of the equipment itself and the weight of the hoisted object.

2) The main beam is usually designed with a box-type steel structure, which can provide high rigidity and strength and is suitable for lifting tasks with heavy loads. The box-type beam consists of upper and lower cover plates and web plates, and is usually welded with high-strength steel plates. Some main beams also use H-shaped steel, which is suitable for small and medium-sized 20 Ton Gantry Crane, providing relatively light weight and sufficient strength.

3) The main beam is usually manufactured using an automated welding process to ensure uniformity and strength of the weld. Strict quality control is performed during the welding process to prevent welding defects such as cracks and pores. In order to prevent the main beam from rusting and corroding in harsh environments, the main beam is usually sandblasted and rust-proofed after welding, and coated with anti-corrosion paint or galvanized.

Lifting System

1) Motor: The power source of the hoisting mechanism is the motor, usually a three-phase asynchronous motor or a variable frequency motor. The rotational power provided by the motor is transmitted to the drum through the reducer to achieve the winding and unwinding of the wire rope, thereby driving the lifting and lowering of the hook or other lifting equipment.

2) Reducer: The reducer is used to reduce the high-speed rotation of the motor and transmit it to the drum, so that the hoist can be raised and lowered at an appropriate speed. The reducer has efficient deceleration and force-increasing functions through gear transmission, ensuring that the lifting mechanism can provide sufficient torque to cope with heavy load conditions.

3) Drum: The drum is the core component of the wire rope, which directly controls the retraction and release of the wire rope, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the hook. The drum is made of steel and the surface is hardened, which can effectively prevent the wear of the wire rope under high-speed operation.

4) Wire rope: The steel wire rope is the main force transmission component for carrying heavy objects. Through the winding of the drum and the cooperation of the pulley block, the steel wire rope realizes the vertical lifting of heavy objects. The steel wire rope is woven from multiple high-strength steel wires and has extremely high tensile strength and wear resistance.

5) Pulley block: The pulley block changes the transmission direction of the wire rope, reduces the required lifting power, and improves the flexibility of operation. The pulley block usually consists of a movable pulley and a fixed pulley. The movable pulley is connected to the sling, and the fixed pulley is fixed to the bracket of the lifting mechanism.

6) Brake :The brake is a key safety component in the lifting mechanism, used to prevent the heavy object from falling suddenly due to inertia or gravity when the crane stops working. The brake is usually an electromagnetic brake or a hydraulic brake, which automatically activates when the motor stops supplying power, keeping the heavy object in the air.

7) Limit switches:Limit switches are used to prevent the hook or sling from exceeding the set lifting or lowering limit position. Common limit switches include upper and lower limit switches. Once the hook reaches the preset upper or lower limit position, the limit switch will automatically cut off the power supply of the motor to prevent the hook from hitting the top or bottom.

 

3.End carriage

1) The function of the end beam is to support the entire structure of the crane and realize the longitudinal movement of the crane on the track together with the trolley running mechanism. It connects the two main beams and distributes the load of the crane smoothly to the running track by installing wheels and drive devices, ensuring that the equipment can move flexibly in the work site.

2) The end beam of a double-beam gantry crane is an important load-bearing and mobile structure of the entire crane. It ensures the smooth operation of the crane on the track through components such as wheel sets, drive devices, and guide devices, and ensures the safe operation of the crane through safety devices such as brakes and limit switches. Reasonable design and regular maintenance can greatly extend the service life of the end beam and improve the overall working efficiency and safety of the crane.

3) The main components of the end beam.

①Frame structure :The end beam is usually a box-type or I-type structure made of high-strength steel, with sufficient rigidity and strength to withstand the static and dynamic loads of the entire crane.

②Wheel set:The wheel set on the end beam is the part that is in direct contact with the track. It is responsible for distributing the load of the crane to the track and realizing longitudinal movement. The wheels are usually divided into driving wheels and driven wheels. The driving wheels are connected to the motor and drive system to drive the crane to move, while the driven wheels play an auxiliary support role.

③Drive device : The drive device on the end beam is responsible for the operation of the crane trolley and is usually composed of an electric motor, a reducer, a coupling and a brake.

④Guide device :In order to prevent the crane from deviating or derailing when running on the track, the end beam is usually equipped with a guide device.

⑤Anti-slip device:In order to prevent the crane wheels from derailing due to unexpected situations (such as strong winds, sudden load changes, etc.) during operation, an anti-slip device is often installed on the end beam.

⑥Limit switches: Limit switches are usually installed at both ends of the end beam to prevent the crane from exceeding the designed operating range on the track.

 

 

4.Crane travelling mechanism

1) Working principle

Starting and accelerating: The trolley operation system is started by the electric motor, which drives the reducer to reduce the speed and increase the torque, drives the driving wheel to start rotating, and drives the trolley to run along the track.

Smooth operation: The driving wheels and driven wheels of the trolley roll synchronously on the track. The guide device ensures that the trolley moves smoothly along the track. At the same time, the anti-derailment device ensures the safe operation of the trolley.

Deceleration and stopping: When stopping is required, the braking device uses the brake to decelerate the vehicle smoothly and stop it accurately at the designated position to prevent inertial sliding.

Limit protection: When the trolley runs to the end of the track, the limit switch will be triggered to stop the operation of the motor to prevent the trolley from hitting the end of the track and causing damage.

2) Functions of the crane operating mechanism

Horizontal movement: The crane operating mechanism is responsible for the horizontal movement of the crane in the working area and supports the operation of the lifting crane on the main beam.

Load distribution: Through the configuration of multiple wheels, the load can be evenly distributed on the track, reducing the pressure of the unit track and reducing track deformation and wear.

Positioning accuracy: The crane traveling mechanism can accurately stop at the specified position to ensure the safety and accuracy of the lifting operation.

5.Trolley travelling mechanism

1) Structural composition

Trolley frame: The trolley frame is the basic structure of the entire trolley traveling mechanism. It is usually made of welded or cast steel structure with high strength and rigidity to bear the weight of the lifting mechanism and the load of the cargo. The trolley frame needs to have torsion and compression resistance to ensure that the structure does not deform during traveling and keep the trolley running smoothly.

Wheels and tracks : The trolley runs on the track of the double-beam main beam through its wheels. The wheels are usually divided into driving wheels and driven wheels. The driving wheels are connected to the electric motor to provide power, and the driven wheels serve as auxiliary support and balance.

Drive device: The driving system is the power source for the trolley, which is generally composed of an electric motor, a reducer and a transmission mechanism. The driving wheel is used to realize the lateral movement of the trolley along the main beam.

Guide device: In order to prevent the trolley from deviating or derailing during operation, the trolley running mechanism is equipped with a guide device. The guide wheels are usually set on both sides of the trolley to keep in contact with the side wall of the track of the main beam to prevent the trolley from lateral swing.

Braking system : The braking system of the trolley running mechanism is used to control the stopping position of the trolley, ensuring that it can stop quickly and safely when needed, and preventing the trolley from running off the running track due to inertia.

Limit switch : The limit switch is used to ensure that the trolley does not exceed the predetermined range when running on the main beam and prevent the trolley from hitting the two ends of the main beam.

Cable pulley or cable reel: In order to provide power for the trolley's drive system, the trolley Traveling mechanism is usually equipped with a cable pulley or cable reel device to manage and protect the cable, ensuring that the cable can maintain appropriate length and tension at all times during the movement of the trolley.

2) Function of the trolley traveling mechanism

The trolley mechanism of a double-beam gantry crane is a key device responsible for realizing the lateral movement of the spreader or lifting mechanism along the main beam. It is used in conjunction with the lifting mechanism to complete the precise positioning and handling of the goods in the span direction. The trolley mechanism is crucial in a double-beam gantry crane, determining the lateral coverage and operational flexibility of the crane at the work site.

6.Crane wheel

1) Function of wheels

Support and load-bearing:The crane wheels are the main load-bearing parts of the crane, supporting the weight of the entire crane and the weight of the lifted cargo. The wheels evenly distribute the weight of the crane to the track by contacting with the track, ensuring that the crane can smoothly bear the heavy load when moving.

Provide mobile functionality:The crane wheels enable the crane to move horizontally or vertically along the track. The electric motor drives the driving wheel, and the wheels roll to drive the entire trolley on the track, realizing the crane's wide range of operation needs.

Stable operation:The wheels of the trolley are in contact with the rails, ensuring that the crane can still move smoothly under heavy loads and avoid shaking or tilting. At the same time, the wheels are designed with flanges that can fit tightly on both sides of the rails to prevent the crane from derailing or shifting, ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment when moving at high speeds.

Reduce friction and wear:Trolley wheels are usually equipped with anti-friction devices such as bearings to reduce friction between the wheels and the rails, thereby reducing energy consumption during operation. High-quality wheel materials and reasonable lubrication and maintenance can reduce wear, extend the service life of the wheels, and ensure long-term and efficient operation of the crane.

Achieve precise positioning:The trolley wheels work with the crane's drive and control system to enable the crane to move accurately to the designated position on the track. Through the precise rolling and braking systems of the wheels, the crane can stop exactly where it is needed, ensuring that the lifting task is completed safely and efficiently.

Absorbing and distributing loads:The wheels help absorb and disperse the shock and vibration generated during the operation of the crane, ensuring the smooth operation of the crane and preventing damage to the crane body or track due to excessive impact force. This is particularly important for maintaining the structural integrity and operational safety of the crane.

Guidance function:The wheel flange and guide device work together to ensure that the crane runs along the preset track direction and prevents lateral deviation. The guiding function is particularly important for cranes running over long distances, ensuring that the crane always stays on the correct track and avoids running deviations.

7.Crane Hook

1) The hook is the part that directly carries and fixes the heavy objects. It is connected to the wire rope of the lifting mechanism and is used to hang and lift the goods. The rotation and safety lock device of the hook ensures its flexibility and safety during operation.

2) Lifting hooks are usually made of high-strength steel, which is resistant to stretching and fatigue and is suitable for lifting various types of heavy objects.

Motor

Key technical requirements of motors

1.High starting torque: It can start smoothly when the load is large, especially the lifting motor, which must be able to withstand the starting requirements of heavy loads.

2. Accurate speed regulation: The motor needs to have good speed regulation function to adapt to the operating requirements under different working conditions and ensure smooth operation during operation.

3. Reliable braking system: The lifting motor needs to be equipped with a safe and reliable brake to ensure that the heavy objects will not fall accidentally in an emergency.

4. Energy saving: With the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection, more and more 20 Ton Gantry Crane use variable frequency motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors to reduce energy consumption.

2. Limit switch

The limit switch is a safety device used to limit the double-beam gantry crane from exceeding the safe range when lifting, lowering or moving. It detects the movement limit position of the crane by mechanical or electrical means to ensure that the crane operates safely within the specified range.

10.Safety Devices

1. Overload limiter:When the hoisted load exceeds the rated load of the crane, the overload limiter will sound an alarm and stop the lifting operation to prevent equipment overload damage or safety accidents.

2. Buffer:When the crane's trolley or car moves to the end of the track, the buffer can absorb most of the impact force to prevent equipment damage and accidents.

3. Brake:In the event of power failure or emergency, the brake can quickly brake the crane to prevent the hanging objects from falling or the equipment from continuing to move.

4. Anemometer:When the wind speed exceeds the safe operating range, the anemometer will sound an alarm to remind the operator to stop the operation to prevent overturning or derailment accidents caused by strong winds.

5. Anti-collision device:By setting a sensing device, when two cranes approach a certain distance, the system will automatically slow down or stop to prevent collisions between cranes.

6. Emergency stop button:When a dangerous situation or equipment abnormality is found, press the emergency stop button, the system will immediately cut off the power supply, stop all movements, and prevent accidents.

7. Electrical protection device:Prevent the crane from continuing to operate when the electrical system fails.

8. Track clamp (wind clamp):When the crane stops running or encounters strong winds, the track clamp will fix the crane on the track to prevent the crane from derailing or causing danger due to wind or inertia.

11.Control Mode

1. Manual control mode

Manual control mode means that the operator directly controls the various actions of the crane by manually operating the control buttons or joysticks on the equipment. This method relies on the real-time operation of the operator, and the crane will not perform any actions autonomously.

2. Remote control mode
