Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling the movements of a pendulum load suspended from a horizontally movable support.
  • the invention also relates to devices for its implementation.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to port lifting devices such as cranes, gantry cranes or containers.
  • a primary objective is to precisely move from one point to another a load suspended by cables to a mobile support, such as a motorized trolley, and in particular to obtain a zero swing of the load at the end of the journey.
  • the precision of the displacement depends essentially on the control and the damping of the oscillations of the load during the displacement.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a method for controlling the movements of a pendulum load suspended from a horizontally movable support, and moved from a starting point to an ending point during a travel from predetermined duration, which allows for the taking into account of disturbances and pendulum length variations and which uses the power of the lifting device to the maximum in order to reduce travel times.
  • the device for controlling the movement of a pendulum load suspended from a horizontally movable support implementing the method according to the invention, associated with a lifting machine comprising lifting means and steering means, is characterized in that it comprises control and processing means receiving, on the one hand, information representative of the length of the associated pendulum, the swing angle and the displacement of the mobile support respectively length acquisition means, angle acquisition means and displacement acquisition means, and issuing in return lifting orders and direction orders respectively intended for lifting means and direction means , said direction orders being calculated so as to satisfy the displacement law X (t) according to the method as defined above.
  • the device for controlling the movement of a pendular load 20 suspended from a mobile support of a lifting machine 1 comprises a computer 4 receiving on the one hand, at input CL, information on the length of the pendulum from a position encoder 7, at input B, sway information from a camera 18, or any other optical analysis device, and at the CD input, information on the displacement of the mobile support or direction information, and delivering in return, at output SL, lifting orders transmitted to lifting means 6, 5, 8 of the lifting machine 1, and at output SD, direction orders transmitted to lifting means 1 direction 14, 15, 16.
  • the lifting means comprise a lifting drum 8 around which a suspension cable 21 connected to the load 20 is wound, for example, a container, a reduction gear 5 and an electric motor 6, arranged according to well known techniques.
  • the lifting motor 6, with which the lifting encoder 7 is associated, is controlled, via a control line 9 and an amplifier 10, either from a lifting control lever 2 or by the computer 4, through the SL output above.
  • the steering means comprise a steering roller 16 rolling on a horizontal steering rail 17 linked to the lifting machine, a reduction gear 15 and an electric motor 14 to which a direction encoder 13 is fixed.
  • This steering motor 14 is controlled via a steering power line 12 and a power amplifier 11, either from a steering control lever 3, or by the computer 4, through the aforementioned SD output.
  • the swing angle is measured by a camera 18 secured to the movable support and the objective of which is directed vertically downwards, the pendulum load 20 being equipped with an optical beacon 19 emitting a beam directed upwards.
  • FIG. 2 The general diagram of a container handling and lifting machine 30 that can be fitted with a movement control device according to the invention is given in FIG. 2.
  • the port lifting device 30 comprises, according to known techniques, a gantry 35 to which a horizontal boom structure 33 is connected.
  • a mobile carriage 34 can be moved horizontally in a direction X along the arrow 33.
  • a container 31 is suspended from the movable carriage 34 by cables 32 whose variation in length allows the container 31 to move in a vertical direction Z.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the main geometric variables taken into account in the implementation of the method according to the invention.
  • the variable x represents the horizontal displacement of the carriage or mobile support 40.
  • a perpendicular load 41 is suspended from the mobile carriage 40 by a cable of length l .
  • the cable is inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to the vertical, the pendulum load 41 having a deviation y from said vertical.
  • the instantaneous displacement of the pendulum load 41 is represented by a variable X equal to the sum x + y.
  • the displacement of the suspension point of the load 41, and therefore the displacement of the mobile support 40 is determined by expressing the dynamic balance of the pendulum load:
  • X '' (t) y l g 1- y l 2 - the g being the acceleration of gravity.
  • Equation (1) makes it possible to calculate the displacement X (t) as a function of the maximum acceleration ⁇ and the duration of the journey T, while equation (2) makes it possible to calculate the difference y as a function of the derivative second l 'of the instantaneous length of the pendulum associated with the load and the acceleration X''(t).
  • the position x of the carriage 40 is determined, with reference to FIG. 1, using the encoder 13, for example an incremental encoder, mounted on the shaft of the steering motor 14.
  • variable l is determined by the encoder 7 mounted on the shaft of the lifting motor 6 while the variable y is calculated from the angle ⁇ and the length l via the optical system constituted by the camera 18 and tag 19.
  • This beacon 19 constitutes a light source which creates a light spot on the sensitive element of the camera 18 which in return delivers a signal proportional to the angle ⁇ .
  • the computer 4 can then determine the theoretical value of the difference y and the actual instantaneous position X of the pendulum load 41.
  • a first block 61 illustrates the calculation of the theoretical displacement X (t) according to the invention.
  • This theoretical displacement X (t) is compared to the actual displacement X equal to the sum of the displacement x of the carriage 40 ( Figure 4) and of the product l.sin ⁇ of the instantaneous length l of the pendulum and the sine of the swing angle ⁇ , this sum being represented by block 67.
  • the difference ⁇ 1 between the theoretical displacement X (t) and the actual displacement X is derived at 62.
  • the speed is then regulated (block 65) at the level of the steering motor 14 (FIG. 1).
  • the effective displacement x of the carriage causes a swing of angle ⁇ (block 66).
  • Such control ensured a substantially zero swing at the end of the pendulum load path.
  • the method according to the invention moreover allows a relative optimization of the duration T of the path of the pendulum load. For a given distance D to be covered, it is possible to vary the period T of the maximum acceleration continuously.
  • VMAX the journey time T and the maximum acceleration ⁇ can then be determined. On the other hand, if this limitation is reached, a phase at VMAX speed is undertaken. A maximum acceleration and a distance traveled at VMAX speed are also determined.
