DE102016005744A1 - Overhead crane control or overhead crane control based on the electronic compass - Google Patents

Abstract

This control allows any object (with a fixed path or with another built-in electronic compass, with a corresponding software created for the object) to control error-free (without faulty control) at any time. Without the operator having to check his own position. If the operator steers forward from his field of view, the object will move forward and not inadvertently in a different direction. However, the course of the fixed path (eg crane runway) must first be calibrated in the control or remote control. For a free object with no fixed path, with built-in electronic compass, the software must be designed so that when I press forward and this corresponds, for example, north, the software also controls the object forward, this also corresponds to the north. The control or remote control recognizes its own angular position, to the correspondingly calibrated path. Or in the case of a freely movable object, the angular position to the earth's axis (cardinal direction).

Description

Problem:

• – daß sich entweder der Bediener auf der falschen Seite des Krans, also in einer falschen Perspektive befindet (er muss also umdenken, das stellt eine Gefahr für Mensch und Material dar) oder
• – die Fernsteuerung nicht weiß in welcher Position sie sich zur Kranbahn des Laufkrans befindet

The problem so far is that in the control (operation) of a crane, a wrong operation is possible. Although I press forward or right on the remote control, the crane moves backwards or to the left. The reason for this is;

• - that either the operator is on the wrong side of the crane, ie in a wrong perspective (so he has to rethink, that is a danger to humans and material) or
• - The remote control does not know in which position it is to the crane runway of the crane

Solution: overhead crane control or overhead crane control based on the electronic compass

• – Funkfernsteuerung
• – elektronischer Kompass
• – entsprechende Software

You need:

• - Radio remote control
• - electronic compass
• - appropriate software

Function:

The crane run, which usually runs crosswise to the cardinal directions, must be recalibrated on the compass. This means that the crane runway then with the compass located on the cardinal directions z. B. north south agrees. Or but that the crane runway then z. B. from south-west to north-east. The remote control then knows at any time in which angular position it is to the crane runway. (this software will be needed)

So the software in the remote control then decides whether to move the main carrier or the cat (left, right, front or back).

This results;
That no matter what position the operator is to the overhead crane, he presses to the right, the bottle located on the rope also moves to the right and in no case to the left. Accordingly, depending on the position of the operator, the main carrier can move to the right or the cable (cat).

Advantage: Increased safety at work due to much easier operation.

Illustration of the compass with calibrated crane runway

No matter how the overhead crane control is turned, thanks to the electronic compass, the Sostware can identify which direction of travel of the crane is being controlled.

You have to remember. No matter how you turn the overhead crane control, the coordinate system with the entered crane path angular position does not move with you. Thus, it is easy for the software to detect whether the cable or the main carrier must be moved. And in which angular position the overhead crane control to the crane runway keeps.

The crane will always go in the direction I have in view.

Claims (3)

The overhead crane control is combined with an electric compass and corresponding software. What makes the function of the crane crane control, for the detection of the angular position, in relation to the crane track course (direction) possible. The overhead crane control recognizes its own angular position in relation to the crane track course (cardinal direction). The overhead crane control recognizes on the basis of a calibrated compass direction and corresponding software, on the electronic compass, which button is currently responsible for which axis to be traversed.
