Definitions
- the present invention is related to a device in telescopic arms, in particular telescopic arms intended for cranes, according to the preamble of enclosed claims 1 and 8.
- the power supply lines are preferably formed by pressure fluid lines, for example hydraulic hoses, intended to serve for power supply to a load handling apparatus provided on the arm part which is located outermost in the extended state of the telescopic arm.
- pressure fluid lines for example hydraulic hoses
- other types of power supply lines may be in question, e.g. electric lines.
- the bight-like diversion of the hydraulic lines is defined by means of a diverting member in the form of a wheel located within the intermediate part.
- the diverting member acts on the hydraulic lines on contraction of the telescopic arm so that the lines are pulled back.
- the US patent 4 360 077 discloses a telescopic arm having four arm parts.
- a guide tube (figs 2 and 3) is secured to an arm part next to the base arm part.
- Power supply lines are connected to the same arm part, to which the guide tube is secured, and extend through the guide tube and forms between an end thereof and the base arm part a bight.
- This bight will be located at varying distances from the adjacent end of the guide tube since the lines are not displaced within the guide tube during extension or contraction of the telescopic arm.
- Such a chain like carrier device complicates the structure, makes it difficult to service the device and replace the lines and causes wear thereon.
- the present inventions aims at reducing disadvantages mentioned hereinabove.
- the invention aims at improving the devices according to the preambles of claims 1 and 8 (reflecting the French patent 2 287 411) and thus present construction solutions, by means of which the lines may be located externally in the sense that the interior of the arm part located outermost in the extended state of the telescopic arm is available for arranging a further elongation part extendable from this outermost arm part or by means of which the device generally speaking may be simplified so that there is no longer need for any diverting members in the form of wheels or the like for the lines, which thus then are intended to run in a bight-like free diversion.
- the telescopic arm 1 illustrated therein is intended to be comprised in a load crane.
- the arm 1 is preferably intended to be pivotably arranged about a normally generally horizontal axis relative to a further arm 2 contained in the crane.
- a power member 3, e.g. in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, acting between arms 1 and 2 may serve for controlling said pivotability.
- the arm 1 comprises in the embodiment three arm parts mutually movable by means of a power arrangement, namely a first base arm part 4 and two second and third arm parts 5 and 6 respectively extendable therefrom.
- the arm part 6 receives in an internal space therein the arm part 5 whereas arm part 6 itself is adapted to be received in an internal space in arm part 4.
- arm parts 4-6 are formed by hollow beams.
- the power arrangement for obtaining the mutual mobility between arm parts 4-6 comprises in the embodiment a power member 7, e.g. a hydraulic cylinder, variable in length and acting between an attachment 8 relative to arm part 4 and an attachment 9 relative to arm part 6.
- a power member 7 e.g. a hydraulic cylinder
- the power arrangement comprises means for obtaining, on movement of arm part 6 relative to arm part 4, an equally great and unidirectional movement between arm parts 5 and 6.
- the power arrangement advantageously may be designed in accordance with our Swedish patent 8403618-5 (442 985), according to which the movement of arm part 5 relative to arm part 6 is effected by means of flexible traction force transmitting members, e.g. chains.
- arm part 5 will on extension and contraction respectively of arm 1 move relative to arm part 4 in the same direction as arm part 6 moves relative to arm part 4 but with double velocity.
- the outer arm part 5 comprises at its extreme end means 10 for attaching load carrying apparatus of various nature.
- the load carrying apparatus is in the embodiment intended to consist of a load gripping apparatus comprising a rotator 11 for rotating the gripping apparatus about a generally vertical axis.
- the gripping apparatus is not illustrated in fig 1 but is intended to be connected to the lower side of rotator 11.
- the lines 12 are at least along a portion of their length flexible and arranged in a bight-like diversion 15, from which the lines run the respective connection places 13 and 14 on arm parts 4 and 5 respectively in generally the same direction along the longitudinal extent of arm 1, i.e. towards the extreme ends of arm parts 4 and 5 located to the left in fig 2.
- the bight-like diversion 15 is adapted to be displaced along arm part 1 on extension and contraction of the telescopic arm 1.
- the lines 12 should be flexible at least along such a length that this displacement of the diversion location 15 is allowed.
- the lines 12 are in the embodiment formed by hoses, in particular hydraulic hoses, which present flexibility along the entire extent between the connection places 13 and 14.
- the arm comprises an arrangement guiding the lines and generally denoted 16, said arrangement comprising first guide means 17 connected to arm part 6.
- This guide means 17 is located externally of the internal space of arm part 6 adapted for receiving arm part 5 and defines a guiding passage 18 for the lines 12 along part 6 and between bight 15 of the lines and their connection place 14 to arm part 5.
- the guiding arrangement 16 comprises furthermore second guide means 19 attached to arm part 5, said guide means defining a guiding passage 20 for lines 12 and co-operating in a telescoping manner with first guide means 17 so that first and second guide means 17 and 19 on contraction of telescopic arm 1 will force lines 12 and there by bight 15 to be displaced rearwardly in direction to the right in fig 3.
- the portion of lines 12 being displaced is accordingly bight 15 and the line portions between the latter and connection place 14, whereas the line portions between bight 15 and connection place 13 will not be displaced.
- the first guide means has the character of a tubular member 17, which as appears from fig 4 has a rectangular cross section and which at its one end comprises an attachment 21, by means of which tube 17 is secured to an attachment 22 provided on the extreme end of arm part 6.
- the connection between attachments 21 and 22 may be formed by a pivot pin 23.
- Tube 17 projects into a space 24 in connection with arm part 1.
- Locating members 25, e.g. in the form of slide pads, may be provided within space 24 and locate in conjunction with pivot pin 23 the tube 17 in a position along arm 1.
- the second guide means 19 is formed by a tubular member having a rectangular cross section and being at one of its ends secured to the extreme end of arm part 5.
- tube 19 comprises an attachment 26, by means of which tube 19 is secured to an attachment 27 on arm part 5 through a suitable connection 28, e.g. in the form of a pivot pin.
- the connection place 14 of lines 12 is in the embodiment formed at the attachment 26 so that lines 12 thereat are secured such that lines 12 on extension of arm 1 will be pulled out starting from connection place 14 during simultaneous displacement of bight 15 to the left in fig 2.
- connection place 14 there are in the embodiment arranged coupling nipples or the like (fig 2), to which lines 12 adjoin and to which flexible line sections 29 (fig 1) may be secured.
- the latter form a transition to the gripping apparatus; the four lines in the embodiment may more specifically be used so that two of them form hydraulic supply and return respectively for rotator 11 whereas the two other lines form hydraulic supply and return respectively for a power member contained in the gripping apparatus for operating arms or the like therein.
- the number of lines 12 may of course vary from 1 and higher; as appears in fig 4 it is suitable, if four lines 12 are in question, to arrange them in rectangular distribution within the rectangular tubes 17 and 19.
- Tube 19 extends exteriorly of the internal space of arm part 5 and has a smaller cross section than the internal cross section of tube 17 so that tube 19 may enter into tube 17 in the manner illustrated in the drawings. It may be suitable to arrange slide pads or the like between the external surface of tube 19 and the internal surface of tube 17.
- a housing generally denoted 30 may as appears from fig 4 be arranged on one side of arm part 4, said housing comprising a body part 31 having a plate formed base portion 32 laid against arm part 4 and two mutually spaced shanks 33 projecting away from the plate portion 32 in a direction away from arm part 4.
- housing 30 comprises in the embodiment a cover 34, which may be put on shanks 33 and secured thereto be means of diagrammatically indicated securing means so that body part 31 and cover 34 jointly form space 24, which extends along arm part 4.
- Housing 30 may be open at its ends in a manner appearing from figs 1 and 2.
- space 24 As an alternative to housing 30 illustrated it would be conceivable to design space 24 as a chamber located within arm part 4 but entirely or partly separated from the internal space of arm part 4 which telescopingly receive; arm part 6.
- tube 17 in the embodiment extends exteriorly of the interior space in arm part 4 receiving arm part 6.
- lines 12 at connection place 13, which here is located within space 24, are secured in such way that the connection place 13 is not displaced relative to arm part 4 when telescopic arm 1 is extended and contracted.
- the flexible lines 12 transform at connection place 13 into rigid line sections 35 secured relative to housing 30 and thereby relative to arm part 4.
- These rigid line sections 35 transform at a coupling location 36 into flexible hoses 37, which extend out of the interior of housing 30 through an opening and then are drawn, in a manner not illustrated in detail, towards crane arm 2 along arm part 4 and pass over to crane arm 2 via a loop or in other arbitrary manner
- connection places 13 and 14 there are in the embodiment also line couplings at connection places 13 and 14, such line couplings are no necessity. Thus, it is only intended with the expression “connection places” that the lines are so firmly connected relative to respective arm parts 4 and 5 that the hose guiding described and desired is obtained.
- the bight 15 and the rear end of the guide tube will protrude somewhat out from the internal space 24 of housing 30 when telescopic arm 1 is contracted; this is due to the fact that in the embodiment chosen housing 30 cannot be allowed to extend further rearwardly along arm part 4 but in other embodiments it may be suitable to design housing 30 so that bight 15 always is located within space 24 of the housing. However, bight 15 will also in the embodiment described generally be located within housing 30.
- bight 15 extends freely without particular diverting members. At one end of the bight the lines obtain support of the adjacent end of tube 17, whereas the lines near the other end of the bight obtain support of the shank 33 of housing 30.
- tubes 17 and 19 will act as guides hindering lines 12 to deviate within tubes 17 and 19 from a generally rectilinear path, whereby the compressive force on the lines exerted at connection place 14 will cause the lines to be displaced within tube 17 rearwardly so that simultaneously the bight 15 is displaced rearwardly.
- the embodiment described involves the advantage that the hose guiding device is readily accessible for service, maintenance and replacement by the exterior location of components exteriorly of the internal cavities of arm parts 4-6, and thereby the outer part 5 is interiorly free to receive a further telescoping elongation part.
- the telescoping tubes 17 and 19, hoses 12 and accordingly bight 15 could be located internally in the cavity formed by arm parts 4-6 in the manner occurring in the French patent specification 2 287 411. In that case it is suitable to arrange the attachment 21 of tube 17 in the area of the rear end of arm part 6.
- the guiding arrangement 16a for the lines comprises in the embodiment according to figs 5 and 6 also a diverting member 38, e.g. a wheel, about which the bight-like diversion 15a of the lines is formed and which is arranged to pull back lines 12a through tube 17a when the telescopic arm is contracted in a manner known per se by the French patent specification 2 287 411.
- a diverting member 38 e.g. a wheel
- Diverting member 38 is via a suitable attachment 39 secured to the rear end of tube 17a, i.e. the end of the tube which is turned away from the extreme end of arm part 6. Since diverting member 38 in this embodiment displaces bight 15a rearwardly on contraction of telescopic arm 1a and accordingly pulls back the hoses through tube 17a, tube 19 illustrated in the embodiment according to figs 1-4 may, as appears from figs 5 and 6, be deleted and accordingly the hoses may run freely between connection place 14a and the adjacent end of tube 17a. However, tube 19 may also be used in the embodiment according to figs 5 and 6 and then primarily to give protection for lines 12a along the entire extent of arm parts 5a and 6a. The embodiment according to figs 5 and 6 may be suitable in cases where the constitution of lines 12a causes problems in achieving such pushing movement backwards of the lines which is aimed at in the embodiment according to figs 1-4.
