Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gripper for moving heavy loads.
  • Grippers of this kind are known and include at least one hydraulic cylinder, which at one end is intended to be anchored at a support point, and at its other end is pivotably connected to a movable part, there being arranged at the movable part opposing cuneiform jaws for gripping the load between themselves in the movable part, there being seatings with guide surfaces for urging the jaws to, and away from, the load in response to the thrust or withdrawal of the hydraulic cylinder ram.
  • the loads in question here are in order of magnitude of tens of tonnes.
  • a disadvantage with the known gripper is that they cannot directly grip the load which is to be moved, and each gripper requires a separate pull rod, in which the load is anchored and around which the gripper grips. Under the action of at least one hydraulic cylinder the gripper then moves the pull rod with short distances corresponding to the stroke of the hydraulic cylinders, and the pull rod thus pulls the load after it.
  • Another disadvantage with the known gripper is that they do not afford satisfactory gripping of elongate loads, e.g. beams or girders of varying width, e.g. such as taper or are conical along their length.
  • the known grippers require a pull rod with a constant cross-section along its length.
  • hey are mounted in a cradle for taking up angular variations in the load, e.g. such as occur when the free end of a beam in a horizontal position sways as it is moved by the gripper, or when a load lifted vertically upwards by the gripper starts to swing.
  • a cradle requires complicated means for anchoring the cradle and thereby the gripper at a fixed point, e.g. a foundation.
  • the grippers in the art do not allow moving an elongate load which forms an angle to the longitudinal axis of the gripper.
  • the present invention has the object of achieving a gripper of the kind discussed in the introduction, which is not burdened with the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the gripper in accordance with the invention shall thus be able directly to grip the load which is to be moved, and thereby make unnecessary the use of separate pull rods or steel ropes with which the load is anchored.
  • the inventive gripper shall further be able to grip loads having varying cross-section along their length.
  • the inventive gripper shall be able to accommodate angular variations in the load, thereby avoinding the need of a separate cradle, thus enabling the conventinal hydraulic cylinders associated with the gripper to be attached directly to a substructure in the case where the gripper is stationary and moves a load.
  • the gripper can be fastened directly to the load in the case where the gripper moves along a beam or some other stationary member while pushing or pulling the load in front of or after itself.
  • the gripper in accordance with the invention shall permit movement of the load both vertically and horizontally.
  • the gripper shall be able to pull itself forward on a stationary substructure, e.g.
  • a slab of TEFLON is preferably placed between the gripper and the stationary substructure, e.g. the rail, and the whole unit, TEFLON slab and gripper, will then serve as a bearing between the load carried by the gripper and the substructure, whereby the need of separate bearing means, e.g. conventional rollers, is avoided to a large extent.
  • the inventive gripper illustrated in Figure 1 includes a movable part in the form of a flat rectangular base plate 1 with two lugs 2, 3 to which hydraulic cylinders are pivotably attached with the aid of pins 4, 5.
  • Two seatings or rockers 6, 7 are pivotably attached to the base plate 1, such that they are opposite each other and symmetrical about a center line 8.
  • the rockers 6 and 7 are pivotably mounted in the base plate by pivot pins 9 and 10, which are a shrink fit in the rockers and extend through the base plate 1, on the underside of which they are retained with the aid of retaining plates 11 and 12 and bolts 13 and 14, threaded in the respective pin 9 and 10.
  • Each rocker 6 and 7 is a plate configured substantially as a right-angular triangle with a cross portion 15 and 16 instead of its acute angle, integral with the rest of the plate and at right angles to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
  • the hypotenuse forms a guide surface 17 and 18 for a wedging jaw 19 and 20.
  • Each jaw is a flat plate in the form of a truncated, substantially right-angular triangle with its hypotenuse provided with serrations 21 and 22.
  • the points of the serrations are directed in the direction of trabel for the unillustrated load, this direction being indicated by the arrow 23 in Figure 1.
  • the (geometrical) adjacent side of each jaw 19 and 20 forms a surface engaging against the respective guide surface 17 and 18.
  • Each jaw 19 and 20 is glidable along the respective guide surface 17 and 18, under the guidance of a guide rod 24 and 25 extending with clearance through holes 26 and 27 in the cross portion 15 and 16.
  • Each guide pin 24 and 25 is threaded into the (geometrical) opposite side 28 and 29 of the jaw 19 and 20.
  • a compression spring 30 and 31 is biased to thrust the respective jaw in a direction counter to that of the arrow 23.
  • the movement of the jaws in said direction is limited by adjustment nuts 32 and 33, which are screwed onto the respective threaded guide rod 24 and 25.
  • Each rod is provided with a cross handle 34 and 35.
  • the pivot pin 10 is a shrink fit in a hole 43 through the rocker 7.
  • the pin 10, non-rotatably attached to the rocker 7, passes with clearance through a hole 45 in the base plate 1, as previously mentioned.
  • the pin 9 passes with clearance through a schematically illustrated hole 44 in the base plate.
  • Each rocker with associated jaw is covered by a protective plate 46 and 47 to form a jaw housing.
  • the function of a known gripper is explained with the aid of Figure 4.
  • the known gripper 48 includes two pairs of jaws 49, 50 alternatingly gripping a pull rod 51, and by unillustrated jacks thrusting the pull rod short distance in the direction of the arrow 52.
  • the gripper 48 is pivotably mounted in a cradle 53, and the pivot point is schematically illustrated at 54.
  • a schematically illustrated beam 55 is to be moved in a direction of the arrow 52 by the gripper.
  • the pull rod 51 is attached to the beam in the schematically illustrated manner for this purpose.
  • the cradle 54 is rigidly anchored in a substructure 56.
  • the known gripper only permits gripping a rod or a cable 51 of constant cross-section, and thus the gripper does not allow gripping the beam 55 itself.
  • the beam 55 now has to be turned to the position illustrated by dashed lines,for example as a result of the beam being a structural member in abridge with a highway curving in the same direction.
  • the gripper 48 must also be turned in the cradle 53 round the pivot pin 54 so that the pull rod 51 will not collapse due to non-uniform load distribution.
  • the attachment of the pull rod 51 must also be moved from the fixed point 57 to the fixed point 58.
  • the known gripper 48 cannot allow moving a load, e.g. a beam, in a direction forming an angle to the longitudinal axis of the gripper.
  • a load e.g. a beam
  • Such movement of a load is possible with the gripper in accordance with the invention, since the jaws 5 and 7 turn a corresponding angle about the pivot pins 9 and 10, while retaining the load between them, and the unillustrated hydraulic cylinders can maintain their anchorage and continue to thrust or pull the base plate 1 in the direction of the arrow 23, or its reverse direction.
  • FIGS 5 and 6 illustrate the inventive gripper 59, which is anchored to a cradle 62 with the aid of two hydraulic cylinders 60, 61 forming the stationary part of the gripper, the cradle resting on two supports 63, 64 such as girders resting on bridge columns.
  • the gripper is to move a beam 65 in the direction of the arrow 66 towards a support not illustrated on the drawing, which is at a distance corresponding to the length of the beam 65 from the support 64.
  • the width and depth of the beam changes at a portion 67.
  • the inventive gripper 59 performs a forward advancing movement of the beam 65 by the hydraulic cylinders 60, 61 thrusting out their rams 68, 69 with the aid of unillustrated conventional means, the rams being pivotably mounted in the lugs 2, 3 of the base plate 1.
  • the other ends of the hydraulic cylinders are anchored on the stationary cradle 62.
  • the base plate 1 is moved by the thrusting movement from the position illustrated in Figure 6 by full lines to the one illustrated by dashed lines.
  • the jaws 19, 20 are forced against the lower flange on the beam 65 as the result of the slopin guide surfaces 17, 18 until the engagement is sufficiently strong for the beam finally to accompany the movement of the base plate 1.
  • the amount of movement is dependent on the stroke of the hydraulic cylinders and may be about 25 mm.
  • the jaws relinquish their grip on the lower flange and move realtive the rockers 6, 7 against the bias of the compression springs 30, 31 until they abut against the set screws 38, 39, which have been pre-set so that there is no risk of the guide rods 24, 25 becoming damaged.
  • the serrations 21, 22 glide along the beam. If the load has a section which is conical, e.g.
  • the jaws will turn during the withdrawal movement of the hydraulic cylinders and orient themselves such that their serrations 21, 22 engage against the conical section. It is also clear that if the section of the load is such that one edge is straight while the other is inclined towards it, then only one of the two rockers 6, 7 will pivot.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate movement of a load by a gripper with a fixed anchoreage. It is also possible directly to attach the gripper to the load such as to move both gripper and load, either horizontally or vertically.
  • a gripper arrangement with these properties is obtained by conventionally arranging two gripper base plates and their details in tandem and with hydraulic cylinders 60 and 61 between them, as illustated in Figure 7.
  • the units comprising base plate 1 with details, 60 and 61 are in accordance with those already illustrated, and an additional unit I' corresponding to the gripper illustrated in Figure 1 is connected to the hydraulic cylinders.
  • the serrations in the first-mentioned unit face the same way as the serrations in the additional unit 1'.
  • tandem-connected gripping arrangement is controlled to move in the direction of the arrow 70 such that when the hydraulic cylinders thrust, the jaws 19', 20' in the unit 1' glide along the tractional bar 71, schematically illustrated by dashed lines in the Figure, while the jaws in the first-mentioned unit are in firm engagement with the tractional bar.
  • the hydraulic cylinders 60, 61 then draw in their rams, whereon the jaws in the first-mentioned unit relinquish their grip, while the jaws in the unit 1' maintain a firm engagement with the tractional bar 71.
  • the tandem arrangement illustrated in Figure 7 is used for moving loads horizontally, the load is suitably placed on the unit 1'.
  • a slab of TEFLON 72 is suitably placed between the base plate and the fractional bar 71 as a friction-decreasing means.
  • the unit 1' carrying the load will then serve as a bearing between the load and tractional bar.
  • the tandem-connected arrangement illusrated in Figure 7 can also climb vertically along a tractional bar, rail, beam or other unit while lifting the load below it.
  • each of the rockers in the inventive gripper is mounted on a pivot pin, and since there is no other mechanical link between the rockers, these can pivot in mutual independence in the manner illustrated in Figures 8-11.
  • Figure 8 shows both rockers may incline to the chain-dotted center line C of the base plate when advancing a beam, the width of which changes in the manner illustrated by dashed lines in the Figure.
  • Figure 9 illustrates how the left-hand jaw housing by itself is at an angle to the center line C, while the right-hand housing is parallel to the center line when advancing a beam, the width of which changes in the manner illustrated by dashed lines in the Figure.
  • Figure 10 illustrateates how both jaw housings are inclined in the same direction relative the center line C in advancing a beam which forms an angle to the center line C of the base plate.
  • Figure 11 illustrates the case occurring when the two hydraulic cylinders do not move the same distance during an advancing movement of the gripper, the base plate being on the skew but the housings turning relative the base plate while retaining their engagement with the load as it is advanced.
  • the base plate 1 may be exchanged for a base plate having a distance between the pivot pins 9, 10 appropriate to the width of the object to be gripped.
