The contents of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-090678, filed May 9, 2018, on the basis of which priority benefits are claimed in an accompanying application data sheet, is in its entirety incorporated herein by reference.
Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a crane including a backstop.
In a crane including a front member such as a boom and jib which are capable of derricking, a backstop which limits a standing operation of the front member is disposed on a rear surface side of the front member, and the backstop prevents the front member from excessively falling rearward. For example, the backstop disclosed in the related art internally has a buffer spring, and the standing operation of the boom is limited by an operation of the buffer spring.
In the related art, the standing operation of the boom can be performed even in a case where the backstop malfunctions. Accordingly, there is room for improvement in safely driving the crane.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a crane including a front member capable of derricking and a backstop disposed on a rear surface side of the front member so as to limit a standing operation of the front member. The crane has an angle sensor that detects an angle of the front member, an operation detection unit that detects whether or not the backstop is operated, and a controller that controls a derricking operation of the front member. In a case where the controller determines that the angle of the front member is equal to or larger than a predetermined angle, based on a detection signal output from the angle sensor, and in a case where the controller determines that the backstop is not operated, based on a detection signal output from the operation detection unit, the controller stops the standing operation of the front member.
The crane according to the embodiment of the present invention can be safely operated when the backstop malfunctions. Objects, configurations, and advantageous effects other than those described above will be clarified by description of the following embodiments.
It is desirable to provide a crane which can be safely operated in a case where a backstop malfunctions.
Hereinafter, each embodiment of a crane according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, for the sake of convenience of description, forward, rearward, rightward, leftward, upward, and downward directions are defined when viewed from an operator who gets on an operation seat. In addition, in the following description, in a case where the description needs to distinguish a right side and a left side from each other with regard to the same configuration, “L” meaning the left side and “R” meaning the right side will be respectively given to reference numerals corresponding to the configurations so as to distinguish both of these from each other. In the respective embodiments, the same reference numerals will be given to the same configurations, and repeated description will be omitted.
Overall Configuration of Tower Crane
The upper turning body 103 is equipped with a hook winding drum 105 serving as a winch drum for hook winding, a tower derricking drum 106 serving as a winch drum for tower derricking, and a jib derricking drum 102 serving as a winch drum for jib derricking. The hook winding drum 105, the tower derricking drum 106, and the jib derricking drum 102 are respectively driven by hydraulic motors (not illustrated). In addition, in an emergency, a controller 200A transmits a stop signal so as to stop the respective drums 105, 106, and 102 by respectively operating a hook winding stop electromagnetic valve 105a, a tower derricking stop electromagnetic valve 106a, and a jib derricking stop electromagnetic valve 102a (refer to
A winding rope 151 is wound around the hook winding drum 105, and the winding rope 151 is connected to a hook 110 via a top portion of the tower 104 and a distal end portion of the jib 108. If the hook winding drum 105 is driven, the winding rope 151 is wound or unwound, thereby causing the hook 110 to ascend and descend.
One end of a tower pendant rope 161 is connected to a distal end of the tower 104, and the other end of the tower pendant rope 161 is connected to a tower upper spreader 162. A tower derricking rope 163 is wound around the tower derricking drum 106 by being wrapped multiple times between the tower upper spreader 162 and a tower lower spreader 165 via a top portion of a mast 164. If the tower derricking drum 106 is driven, the tower derricking rope 163 is wound or unwound, thereby changing an interval between the tower lower spreader 165 and the tower upper spreader 162. Accordingly, the tower 104 performs a derricking operation.
A tower strut 140 is pivotally supported by a distal end portion of the tower 104. The tower strut 140 is formed in a triangular shape by using a front strut 140a, a rear strut 140b, and a connection rod 140c which connects the front strut 140a and the rear strut 140b to each other.
One apex corner portion of the tower strut 140, that is, a distal end portion of the front strut 140a is connected to a distal end portion of the jib 108 by using a jib pendant rope 141. The other apex corner portion of the tower strut 140, that is, a distal end portion of the rear strut 140b is connected to a jib derricking rope 143 via a tower strut pendant rope 142 and a jib upper spreader 144. The jib derricking rope 143 is wound around the jib derricking drum 102 by being wrapped multiple times between the jib upper spreader 144 and a jib lower spreader 145. If the jib derricking drum 102 is driven, the jib derricking rope 143 is wound or unwound, thereby causing the tower strut 140 to pivot in a forward-rearward direction. Accordingly, the jib 108 performs the derricking operation. A pivot angle of the jib 108 is detected by a jib angle sensor (angle sensor) 170, and a detection signal is output from the jib angle sensor 170 to the controller 200A (refer to
Tower Backstop
A pair of right and left tower backstops 50 (50L and 50R) is disposed between a main frame 103a of the upper turning body 103 and the tower 104.
The tower backstop 50 limits a pivot range of the tower 104 so that the tower 104 does not pivot at a maximum angle or more. The tower backstop 50 has an outer cylinder 51, an inner cylinder 52, and a compression spring 53. One end of the outer cylinder 51 has an attachment member 54 which is pivotably attached to the tower 104. The attachment member 54 is pivotally supported by a pin 54a in a supporting portion (not illustrated) disposed in the tower 104. The inner cylinder 52 is slidably attached to an inner side of the outer cylinder 51. One end of the inner cylinder 52 has a holding member 55 which is pivotably attached to the main frame 103a. The holding member 55 is pivotally supported by a pin 55a in the main frame 103a. The compression spring 53 is inserted into an outer periphery of the inner cylinder 52, and is disposed between the other end portion 51b of the outer cylinder 51 and the holding member 55. The compression spring 53 biases the outer cylinder 51 to the tower 104 side (upward in
The tower 104 performs a standing operation, and the outer cylinder 51 moves downward while the compression spring 53 is compressed. If the tower 104 stands up at a predetermined angle, a signal is output to the controller 200A via the limit switch 171. The tower derricking stop electromagnetic valve 106a is operated, thereby stopping the tower derricking drum 106 (refer to
Jib Backstop
A rear surface side of the jib (front member) 108 has a pair of right and left jib backstops (backstop) 70.
The jib backstop 70 limits a pivot range of the jib 108 so that the jib 108 does not pivot at a maximum angle or more. One end 70a of the jib backstop 70 is pivotably attached to a support portion 113 of the jib 108. The other end 70b of the jib backstop 70 is a free end. A connection member 120 for connecting the jib backstop 70 and the jib 108 to each other is disposed at a position on the other end 70b side from the center of the jib backstop 70.
If the jib 108 pivots upward (rearward) around a connection pin 115 from a horizontal position and stands up at a predetermined angle (for example, 65°), the other end 70b of the jib backstop 70 is brought into contact with the target (contact portion) 135 as illustrated in
A structure of the jib backstop 70 will be described with reference to
As illustrated in
The compression spring 73 is inserted into an outer periphery of the inner cylinder 72, and is interposed between the connection plate 81 and the holding member 77. A biasing force of the compression spring 73 acts in a pressing direction of the connection plate 81. In this manner, the outer cylinder 71 is pressed against and held by a distal end side (left side in
Jib Backstop Operation Detection Device
The jib backstop operation detection device (operation detection unit) 80 which detects an operation of the jib backstop 70 is disposed on a side of one end 70a of the jib backstop 70. The jib backstop operation detection device 80 will be described in detail with reference to
As illustrated in
The connection plate 81 has substantially the same outer shape as that of the flange 74, and is fixed to the flange 74 by using a bolt. An L-shaped bracket 82 is attached to an upper portion of the connection plate 81, and a columnar fixing portion 83 is attached to the bracket 82. A screw hole is disposed on an upper surface of the fixing portion 83, and one end of the slide bar 88 is fixed thereto by using a bolt 84. In this manner, the slide bar 88 slides in conjunction with the movement of the outer cylinder 71 in the axial direction (forward-rearward direction of the jib 108, rightward-leftward direction in
The base plate 90 is fixed to a base fixing portion (not illustrated) attached to the holding member 77 of the inner cylinder 72, and is held in a horizontal state. The base plate 90 has a guide 95 for slidably supporting the other end of the slide bar 88. The guide 95 guides the movement of the slide bar 88 in a longitudinal direction (axial direction of the jib backstop 70). A pair of right and left round bars 85 is disposed so as to penetrate the flange 74, the connection plate 81, and the holding member 77, and each of the round bars 85 is fixed by using a nut 86. A crank-shaped intermediate support 87 is fixed to a substantially center position of the round bars 85. A penetrating hole through which the slide bar 88 penetrates is disposed in an upper portion of the intermediate support 87, and the slide bar 88 is slidably supported by the intermediate support 87.
A striker 89 is disposed in the other end of the slide bar 88. If the slide bar 88 slides, in accordance with a slide position, the striker 89 presses down a roller 92 of a jib backstop limit switch 91 (hereinafter, abbreviated as a limit switch 91) and/or a roller 94 of a jib excessive winding limit switch 93 (hereinafter, abbreviated as a limit switch 93) rollers 94, thereby turning on a contact. If the respective limit switches 91 and 93 are operated, an ON-signal (operation signal) is output to the controller 200A. In the present embodiment, the limit switches 91 and 93 are roller lever type. However, the other types of the limit switch, for example, a V-lever type may be used.
As illustrated in
A relationship between a position of the limit switches 91 and 93 and a pivot position of the jib 108 will be described in detail with reference to
If the jib 108 pivots from the position P1′ to the position P1 where the jib 108 pivots in a counterclockwise direction (rearward) around the connection pin 115 as much as a first pivot angle (1° to 5°), the jib backstop 70 shrinks as much as a displacement amount L1 (first displacement amount) corresponding to a first pivot angle. Accordingly, the slide bar 88 is displaced to a position S1 (first position) corresponding to the position P1. If the slide bar 88 moves to the position S1, the striker 89 presses down the roller 92 of the limit switch 91, thereby turning on the limit switch 91 (states illustrated in
Here, in the present embodiment, a reason that the first pivot angle is set in a range of 1° to 5° is as follows. Due to variations in manufacturing the jib backstops 70L and 70R or an error of an attachment position of the limit switches 91L and 91R, there is a possibility that of variations in a position (contact position) where the jib backstops 70L and 70R respectively start to come into contact with targets 135L and 135R. That is, according to the present embodiment, in order to reliably detect that the jib backstop 70 is in contact with the target 135, the limit switch 91 is operated at the position P1 where the jib 108 stands up at approximately 1° to 5° from the position P1′ where the jib backstop 70 starts to come into contact with the target 135. In this manner, in a case where the limit switch 91 is operated, it can be determined that the jib backstop 70 is reliably in contact with the target 135.
In a state where the jib backstop 70R is in contact with the target 135R, if the jib 108 pivots from the position P1 to the position P2, the jib backstop 70R shrinks as much as a displacement amount L4, and the slide bar 88R moves to a position S2 corresponding to the position P2. If the slide bar 88R moves to the position S2, the striker 89R presses down the roller 94R of the limit switch 93R, thereby turning on the limit switch 93R. In this case, the limit switch 93L is disposed at a position S3. Accordingly, the limit switch 93L is not operated. Although details will be described later, if the limit switch 93R is operated, the standing operation of the jib 108 is stopped. The winding operation of the hook 110 is not stopped in a state where the jib 108 is located the position P2.
If the jib 108 reaches a position P3 where the jib 108 pivots (stands up) as much as a second pivot angle (15° to 20°) in the counterclockwise direction around the connection pin 115 from the position P1, the jib backstop 70L shrinks as much as a displacement amount L2 (second displacement amount) corresponding to a second pivot angle. Accordingly, the slide bar 88L moves to a position S3 (second position) corresponding to the position P3. If the slide bar 88L moves to the position S3, the striker 89L presses down the roller 94L of the limit switch 93L, thereby turning on the limit switch 93L (states in
Controller
Next, a configuration of the controller 200A mounted on the crane 100A will be described.
Each detection signal is input to the controller 200A from the jib angle sensor 170 for detecting an angle of the jib 108, the limit switch 171 for detecting an operation of the tower backstop 50, the limit switches 91L, 91R, 93L, and 93R for detecting an operation of the jib backstop 70, and other sensors (not illustrated). The controller 200A performs a predetermined computation process, based on each input detection signal, and outputs a control signal to the hook winding stop electromagnetic valve 105a, the tower derricking stop electromagnetic valve 106a, the jib derricking stop electromagnetic valve 102a, the display device 35, and other devices (not illustrated).
Controlling of Jib Derricking Operation
Next, controlling of the derricking operation of the jib 108 controlled by the controller 200A will be described.
Here, the jib angle θ=65° means a state where the jib 108 is located at the position P1 (refer to
In a case where the controller 200A determines that the operation in Step S3 is normal (S3/Yes), the controller 200A performs the derricking operation of the jib 108 (Step S4). In a case where the jib 108 performs the standing operation up to the position P2 and the limit switch 93R is operated (Step S5/Yes), the controller 200A operates the jib derricking stop electromagnetic valve 102a (refer to
In a case where the jib 108 performs the derricking operation up to the position P3 and the limit switch 93L is turned on (S7/Yes), the controller 200A operates the hook winding stop electromagnetic valve 105a (refer to
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the controller 200A determines that the angle θ of the jib 108 is 65° or larger. In a case where it is determined that the other end 70b of the backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 135, based on a detection signal of the limit switches 91L and 91R, the controller 200A is configured to stop the standing operation of the jib 108. Accordingly, when the jib backstop 70 malfunctions, the crane 100A can be safely operated. The malfunction of the jib backstop 70 can be detected by the limit switch 91 which is turned on or off. Therefore, the jib backstop operation detection device 80 can adopt an inexpensive and simple configuration.
Here, in some cases, the limit switch 93 is disposed in the crane in the related art in order to prevent the jib from being excessively wound. In this case, the limit switch 93 is located at a position between the position S1 and the position S3. If the design is changed so that the limit switch 93 is turned on when the jib 108 pivots to a position between the position P1 and the position P3, whether or not the jib backstop 70 is in contact with the target 135 can be detected without increasing the number the limit switches. However, if the limit switch 93 is moved to the position between the position S1 and the position S3, the jib 108 stops the standing operation at the position between the position P1 and the position P3. Accordingly, a pivot range of the jib 108 is narrowed compared to that in the related art. Therefore, this configuration is not preferable since original lifting work of the crane is adversely affected.
On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, the limit switch 91 is additionally located at the position S1 in order to detect the malfunction of the jib backstop 70. In this manner, an exceptional operation effect is achieved in that safety can be improved without impairing workability of the crane 100A. Even if the jib angle θ is 65° or larger, in a case where at least one of the limit switches 91L and 91R is turned off, it is determined that the jib backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 135 (abnormal), and the standing operation of the jib 108 is stopped. Therefore, the crane 100A can be more safely operated.
In a crane 100B according to a second embodiment, a configuration of a jib backstop operation detection device is partially different from that according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, points different from those according to the first embodiment will be mainly described.
As illustrated in
The side bar 288 is formed of an elongated plate-shaped body. One end thereof is fixed to a bracket 282 attached to a side portion of the connection plate 81 by using a bolt 284 and the other end is slidably supported by a guide pin 296. The guide pin 296 engages with an elongated hole 295 disposed in the side bar 288, and guides the side bar 288 to move in the forward-rearward direction. The guide pin 296 is fixed to a side bracket 290 fixed to the base plate 90.
According to this configuration, the other end 70b of the jib backstop 70 comes into contact with the target 135. In conjunction with the movement of the outer cylinder 71 in the forward-rearward direction, the side bar 288 is also moved in the forward-rearward direction. Then, if the jib 108 pivots to the position P1 (refer to
In this way, the second embodiment can also achieve the same operation effect as that according to the first embodiment. In particular, according to the second embodiment, the side bar 288 and the limit switch 91 can be externally attached to the existing crane. Therefore, there is an advantage in that the existing crane can be safely operated through simple remodeling.
A configuration of a crane 100C according to a third embodiment is different from the configuration according to the first and second embodiments in that a wire-type displacement meter 391 is used instead of the limit switch 91 in order to detect the operation of the jib backstop 70. That is, a jib backstop operation detection device 380 according to the third embodiment includes the wire-type displacement meter 391. Hereinafter, points different from those according to the first and second embodiments will be mainly described.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
Next, if the controller 200C determines that the displacement amount D is a threshold D2 or greater (Step S5-3/Yes), the controller 200C operates the jib derricking stop electromagnetic valve 102a, and stops the derricking operation of the jib 108 (Step S6). Here, for example, the threshold D2 is set in advance to a displacement amount L1+L4 (refer to
In a case where the controller 200C determines that the displacement amount D is smaller than the threshold D1 (S3-3/No) in the determination process in Step S3-3, the controller 200C proceeds to Step S6 so as to stop the derricking operation of the jib 108, and notifies the display device 35 of a fact that the operation is abnormal. In this manner, the jib 108 is prevented from performing the standing operation in a state where the jib backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 135.
In a case where the controller 200C determines that the displacement amount D is a threshold D3 or greater (S7-3/Yes), the controller 200C operates the hook winding stop electromagnetic valve 105a so as to stop the winding operation of the hook 110 (Step S8), and completes the process. Here, for example, the threshold D3 is set in advance to a displacement amount L2 (refer to
In this way, similarly to the first and second embodiments, according to the third embodiment, even if the jib backstop 70 malfunctions, the crane 100C can also be safely operated. Moreover, the displacement meter 391 is used instead of the limit switches 91 and 93. Accordingly, the configuration of the jib backstop operation detection device 380 can be simplified, and can be inexpensively manufactured.
A configuration of a crane 100D according to a fourth embodiment is different from the configuration of the third embodiment in that a pin-type load cell (load sensor) 491 is used instead of the wire-type displacement meter 391 in order to detect the operation of the jib backstop 70. That is, the jib backstop operation detection device 480 according to the fourth embodiment is configured to include the pin-type load cell 491. Hereinafter, points different from those according to the third embodiment will be mainly described.
As illustrated in
The configuration will be described in detail with reference to
As illustrated in
Next, if the controller 200D determines that the load W is a threshold W2 or greater (Step S5-4/Yes), the controller 200D operates the jib derricking stop electromagnetic valve 102a so as to stop the derricking operation of the jib 108 (Step S6). Here, for example, the threshold W2 is set in advance to a load value acting on the pin 76 in a case where the jib backstop 70 shrinks as much as a displacement amount L1+L4 (refer to
In a case where the controller 200D determines that the load W is smaller than the threshold W1 (S3-4/No) in the determination process in Step S3-4, the controller 200D proceeds to Step S6 so as to stop the derricking operation of the jib 108, and notifies the display device 35 of a fact that the operation is abnormal. In this manner, the jib 108 is prevented from performing the standing operation in a state where the jib backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 135.
In a case where the controller 200D determines that the load W is a threshold W3 or greater (S7-4/Yes), the controller 200D operates the hook winding stop electromagnetic valve 105a so as to stop the winding operation of the hook 110 (Step S8), and completes the process. Here, for example, the threshold W3 is set in advance to a load value acting on the pin 76 in a case where the jib backstop 70 shrinks as much as a displacement amount L2 (refer to
In this way, similarly to the third embodiment, according to the fourth embodiment, the crane 100D can also be safely operated even if the jib 108 or the backstop 70 malfunctions. Moreover, the load cell 491 is used instead of the displacement meter 391. Therefore, the configuration of the jib backstop operation detection device 480 can be simplified, and can be inexpensively manufactured.
A configuration of a crane 100E according to a fifth embodiment is different from the configuration according to the first to fourth embodiments in that a jib backstop operation detection device 580 for detecting whether or not the jib backstop 70 is in contact with a target (contact plate) 535 is disposed in the target 535 instead of the jib backstop 70. Specifically, according to the fifth embodiment, instead of detecting the stretching operation of the jib backstop 70, an upward-downward operation of the target 535 is detected so as to determine whether or not the jib backstop 70 is reliably in contact with the target 535.
Referring to
As illustrated in
The target 535 is formed of a square plate, is biased upward by the coned disk spring 583, and is held at a predetermined interval from the limit switch 591 disposed in the base plate 590. In other words, the limit switch 591 is disposed at a position separated downward from the target 535 as the predetermined interval. Here, the predetermined interval is preferably set to such a distance which enables the limit switch 591 to detect that the jib backstop 70 is reliably in contact with the target 535, and can be set to a displacement difference L1, for example (refer to
If the jib 108 performs the standing operation to the position P1 from the position P1 where the other end 70b of the jib backstop 70 starts to come into contact with the target 535 (refer to
In this way, according to the fifth embodiment, the target 535 is pressed by the jib backstop 70 from an initial position where the jib backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 535. When the jib backstop 70 reaches the third position where the jib backstop 70 is moved as much as the displacement amount L1 (third displacement amount), the limit switch 591 is configured to be turned on.
Next, a configuration of the controller 200E mounted on the crane 100E will be described.
Next, the control of the derricking operation of the jib 108 which is performed by the controller 200E will be described.
In a case where the controller 200E determines that the operation is normal in the operation determination process in Step S3-5 (S3-5/Yes), the controller 200E performs the derricking operation of the jib 108 (Step S4). In a case where the controller 200E determines that the operation is abnormal (S3-5/NO) in the operation determination process in Step S3-5, the controller 200E proceeds to Step S6 so as to stop the derricking operation of the jib 108. In this manner, the jib 108 is prevented from performing the standing operation in a state where the jib backstop 70 is not in contact with the target 135. The subsequent process is the same as that according to in the first embodiment. Accordingly, the description will be omitted here.
In this way, similarly to the first to fourth embodiments, according to the fifth embodiment, the derricking operation of the jib 108 can also be performed by detecting that the jib backstop 70 surely is reliably in contact with the target 535. Accordingly, the crane 100E can be safely operated. According to the fifth embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the jib backstop operation detection device 580 is disposed in the target 535. Accordingly, it is not necessary to improve the jib backstop 70 in the related art. That is, the crane in the related art can be more safely operated merely by installing the jib backstop operation detection device 580 according to the fifth embodiment in the target of the existing crane.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified in various ways within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. All of the technical matters included in the technical concept described in the appended claims are objects of the present invention. Although the above-described embodiments are preferred examples, those skilled in the art can realize various substitutes, corrections, modifications, or improvements, based on the contents disclosed in the specification, and these are included in the technical scope described in the appended claims.
For example, although not illustrated, a configuration may be adopted as follows. The jib backstop operation detection device includes a strain gauge for detecting distortion of the target 135, and the controller determines that the angle of the jib 108 is a predetermined angle (for example, 65°) or larger, based on the detection signal from the jib angle sensor 170. In a case where the distortion of the target 135 is smaller than a predetermined threshold, based on a detection signal output from the strain gauge, the controller stops the standing operation of the jib 108.
In the respective embodiments described above, a configuration may be adopted. One end 70a of the jib backstop 70 is the free end, and the other end 70b is pivotally supported by the tower 104. In this case, the target 135 is disposed in the jib 108. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the positions of the limit switch 91L and the limit switch 91R in the forward-rearward direction of may not necessarily be the same as each other. In this case, it may be determined that the jib backstop 70 is normal in a case where both the limit switches 91L and 91R are turned on. The operation of the jib backstop 70 may be determined by monitoring only the limit switch disposed forward between the limit switches 91L and 91R. In a case where the limit switch disposed forward is turned on, it can be considered that the limit switch disposed rearward is also turned on.
In the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the jib backstop operation detection devices 380 and 480 may include the limit switch 93 in order to prevent the jib from being excessively wound.
In the respective embodiments described above, a configuration has been described in which the derricking operation of the jib 108 is controlled, based on the operation signal which switches the contacts of the limit switches 91 and 93 from OFF to ON. However, the derricking operation of the jib 108 maybe controlled, based on the operation signal which switches the contacts of the limit switches 91 and 93 from ON to OFF.
The embodiment has been described in which the operation of the jib backstop 70 is detected so as to control the derricking operation of the jib 108.
