Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a gantry crane for handling containers, comprising a number of known elements such as a gantry provided with lateral legs with means for traveling on rails, longitudinal guides or tracks and at least one crossbeam attached to the lateral legs; a trolley movable along the crossbeam, said trolley carrying at least one motorized drum on which the hoisting cables of a container carrier rig are wound in a first direction; it presents the particular feature of comprising a counterweight system to the container carrier rig in order to reduce the energy consumption of the crane and the size of the motors and/or associated equipment to handle said containers.
  • This invention is applicable in the field dedicated to the fabrication, modification and modernization of gantry cranes for the handling and stacking of containers.
  • Gantry cranes used for the handling and stacking of containers are currently widely known in the market.
  • Such gantry cranes comprise a frame provided with a side legs with means for traveling on rails, longitudinal guides or tracks and at least one crossbeam, attached to the upper end of the side legs of the gantry.
  • a movable trolley which carries elements of the crane itself such as cables, motors, gearboxes, etc. and at least one motorized drum on which the hoisting cables of a container carrier rig are wound in a first direction, and whose purpose is to hold the container(s) during their lifting and handling.
  • This container carrier rig is composed of several known elements in the field of container cranes such as "headblock” and “spreader”; generally, its weight, depending on the characteristics and size of the crane, can be comprised between about 5 and 15 tons so that its displacement, either with container or without container, requires a substantial energy consumption, in addition to that used for the lifting and handling of containers.
  • hoisting devices moving only in a vertical direction, such as elevators or hoists, have counterweights to, at least, partially compensate for the weight of the cab and/or authorized load; such devices or counterweight means are not applicable to the gantry cranes mentioned since their hoisting system combines a motion in a vertical direction and a motion in an horizontal direction, said hoisting system being located on the movable trolley along the crossbeam of the gantry.
  • the applicant of the present invention is not aware of any gantry cranes for handling containers which have a main lift system mounted on a trolley movable on a gantry beam and which have means for compensating at least the weight of the container carrier rig suspended only from the movable trolley by the hoisting cables, without a counterweight system that does not constitute a hindrance to the operation and purpose of the crane.
  • a gantry crane for handling containers which comprises: a frame provided with side legs with means for traveling on rails, longitudinal guides or tracks and at least one crossbeam attached to the lateral legs; a trolley movable along the crossbeam and a main hoisting system mounted on the movable trolley and provided with at least one motorized drum and hoisting cables of a container carrier rig; wound in a first direction on a motorized drum; it is characterized by comprising a counterweight system of the container carrier rig.
  • Said counterweight system to the container carrier rig comprises at least: a counterweight; a counterweight cable having a first end wound onto a motorized drum in a second direction, opposite the first winding direction of the hoisting cables; and a second end attached to the movable trolley, or wound on a motorized drum in said second direction; first return pulleys of the counterweight cable arranged at opposite ends of the crossbeam of the gantry; at least one second return pulley of the counterweight cable mounted on the movable trolley; said counterweight cable forming a loop of variable length which comprises a horizontal section arranged along the gantry beam and at least one vertical end section arranged on one of the sides of the gantry and from which a counterweight is suspended by means of a pulley.
  • Another objective of the invention is to develop a counterweight system that allows suspending from a single counterweight cable two counterweights arranged on opposite sides of the gantry so that said counterweights do not contribute to the destabilization of the gantry.
  • a height compensator is incorporated into the counterweight system, suitable to ensure that the two counterweights, arranged at opposite sides of the gantry and at the same height, are traveling in parallel, in the same direction, and at the same speed during the traveling of the movable trolley along the crossbeam of the gantry in either direction when the hoist drum rotates, preventing both counterweights from moving at different speeds and/or in opposite directions.
  • Winding the counterweight cable on a motorized drum in a direction opposite to the winding direction of the hoisting cables allows the counterweight to counteract the weight of the container carrier rig (spreader + headblock), fulfilling the objective of significantly reducing the energy required to move said rig, regardless of the fact that it is empty or holding a container.
  • the advantages derived from using the counterweight system to the container carrier rig, acting on the motorized drum mounted on the movable trolley, are the use of smaller motors and/or associated equipment for handling these containers and a significant reduction in the energy consumption of the crane.
  • KR 101 058 594 B1 provides a system and method for lading/unloading containers.
  • GB 2 168 310 A describes a dredger using a counter-balance for reducing effective dead weight on a grab.
  • JP 2012 126528 A describes a quay crane of an energy-saving type capable of lessening the capacity of a motor for rotating main winding drums.
  • a conventional gantry crane known in the prior art, schematically represented, is provided with a frame (1), with lateral legs (11) comprising motorized traveling means (12) motor and a crossbeam (13) attached to the lateral legs (11), a movable carriage (2) mounted on the crossbeam (13) and carrying a main hoisting system (3) which, in this case, has a motorized drum (31) on which hoisting cables (32) of a container carrier rig (33), suitable for clamping the container (C) to be transported, are wound in a first direction.
  • a motorized traveling means (12) motor and a crossbeam (13) attached to the lateral legs (11)
  • a movable carriage (2) mounted on the crossbeam (13) and carrying a main hoisting system (3) which, in this case, has a motorized drum (31) on which hoisting cables (32) of a container carrier rig (33), suitable for clamping the container (C) to be transported, are wound in a first direction.
  • the gantry crane comprises a counterweight system (4) according to the invention, which comprises a counterweight cable (41) with a first end and a second end wound on a same motorized drum (31) in a second direction, opposite the winding direction of the hoisting cables (32), said counterweight cable (41) being guided into a first set of return pulleys (42), arranged at opposite ends of the crossbeam (13) of the gantry (1), and a second set of pulleys (43) mounted on the movable trolley (2) so that the counterweight cable (41) forms a loop of variable length which comprises a horizontal section (44) disposed along the crossbeam (13) of the gantry (1) and two vertical sections (45) arranged on opposite sides of the gantry (1), a counterweight (46) being suspended from each end vertical section (45) by means of the corresponding pulley (47).
  • a counterweight system (4) which comprises a counterweight cable (41) with a first end and a second end wound on a same motorized drum (31) in a
  • the weight of the container carrier rig (33) is offset by the weight of the counterweights (46).
  • the hoisting cables (32) unwind, the counterweight cable ends (41) wind on the motorized drum (31), simultaneously producing the drop of the container carrier rig and the rise of the counterweights (46) and vice versa.
  • This counterweight system allows lifting or lowering the container carrier rig (33) and moving the movable trolley (2) on the gantry without the counterweights interfering with the movements of the crane.
  • the crane comprises on the crossbeam (13) a height compensator for said vertical end sections (45).
  • Said height compensator referenced as a whole as (5), comprises a belt (51) mounted on freely rotatable pulleys (52) arranged in the two opposite ends of the crossbeam (13) of the gantry (1), said belt comprising a first branch (51 a) fixed to the movable trolley (2) of the crane, and a second branch (51 b) fixed to the horizontal section (44) of the counterweight cable loop.
  • the height compensator (5) ensures that the two vertical sections (45) retain their length if the drum does not rotate or change it in an identical manner when the motorized drum is turning to perform the lifting or lowering of the container carrier rig.
  • the gantry crane comprises two motorized drums (31, 31 a), one of the counterweight cable ends (41) being wound on each of them.
  • the relative position between the drums may be different and, therefore, their placement on the movable trolley may also be different.
  • the counterweight system comprises only one counterweight (46), one end of the counterweight cable (41) being wound on the motorized drum (31) and the opposite end of the counterweight cable (41) being attached to the movable trolley (2).
  • the counterweight system can be doubled by coupling to each motorized drum a counterweight system analogous to that shown in Figure 5 .
  • the latter layout allows choosing to position on the lateral legs both ends of the vertical sections from which two separate counterweights are suspended by means of their respective pulleys.
