Suspension device for monorail crane and monorail crane

A monorail crane, comprising at least two suspension devices, a lifting container fixed under the two suspension devices, and a control device that controls the movement of the suspension devices;

• the suspension devices each comprises a suspension box and at least one set of suspension wheels;
• at least one of the at least two suspension devices is provided with at least one driving member connected to the suspension box;
• the control device is fixed below the suspension devices;
• the suspension box is provided with a receiving groove for receiving at least one set of the suspension wheels;
• the receiving groove comprises a first side wall and a second side wall opposite to each other;
• the first side wall is provided with a first suspension bracket, and the second side wall is provided with a second suspension bracket;
• the first suspension bracket and the second suspension bracket are parallel to the first side wall and the second side wall;
• the at least one driving member is arranged on an outer side of the first side wall through the first suspension bracket, and/or on an outer side of the second side wall through the second suspension bracket;
• a first suspension wheel in a set of at least one set of the suspension wheels is rotatably disposed on an inner side of the first side wall;
• a second suspension wheel in a set of at least one set of the suspension wheels is rotatably disposed on an inner side of the second side wall;
• a first gap is formed between the first suspension wheel and the second suspension wheel;
• the monorail comprises at least a first track on which the first suspension wheel is placed and a second track on which the second suspension wheel is placed;
• a spacer is provided between the first track and the second track;
• the first gap can accommodate at least the spacer;
• the suspension devices each further comprises a braking mechanism fixed to the suspension box, the braking mechanism comprises braking pads, upon braking, the braking mechanism drives the braking pads to abut against the monorail, and braking is performed through friction between the braking pads and the monorail;
• wherein the suspension box is further provided with a transmission member;
• the transmission member comprises a driving gear and a driven gear;
• the driving gear is connected to an output end of the driving member, and the driven gear is coaxial with the suspension wheel;
• the number of teeth of the driving gear is less than the number of teeth of the driven gear;
• the monorail is an inverted T-shaped guiding rail having the spacer with a top side surface, the first track is an upper surface of a bottom plate on one side of the inverted T-shaped guiding rail, and the second track is an upper surface of a bottom plate on the other side of the T-shaped guiding rail;
• and
• a gear rack is provided on an inner side of the inverted T-shaped guiding rail;
• and the gear rack engages with the driven gear.
