Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrohydraulic lifting device, in particular a heavy load lifting device including two support platforms, wherein raising and lowering of each support platform are controlled independently from the other platform and, when necessary, compensated, e.g. when a difference occurs in the heights of the two support platforms.
  • a compensation electrohydraulic system is controlled by an electronic control unit that operates in real-time.
  • Electrohydraulic lifting devices which include support platforms and are adapted to raise and lower a load that has been put onto the platforms.
  • This kind of lifting devices basically include:
  • the above mentioned lifting device has a problem in keeping the platforms in alignment with each other, with respect to a horizontal plane, and this problem has never been easy to solve.
  • a difference can occur in the flow of hydraulic pressure media delivered to the above mentioned pairs of cylinders through the said conduits, when one of the two conduits presents a hydraulic flow resistance different from the other one.
  • This difference in flow resistance is caused either by the load not being regularly distributed on the support platforms, or by small defects in designing and manufacturing the hydraulic circuits and the mechanical-electromechanical components of the lifting device.
  • a further known device includes a transversal link between the two of the support platforms, this link including mechanical means, such as torsional bars.
  • EP-A-0386569 discloses a hydraulically-operated dustbin emptying apparatus including all the features reported in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the main object of the present invention is to find a solution to these problems, that is to the horizontal nonalignment of one platform in respect of the other one that occurs during the raising and lowering stages in an electrohydraulic lifting device, without providing any mechanical transversal link between the two of the support platforms.
  • the height level of each platform is checked second by second and any adjustment, necessary to set again the platforms in reciprocal alignment, is immediately carried out.
  • electrohydraulic lifting device including the features listed in the characterising portion of claim 1.
  • reference numeral 1 and 2 indicate two support platforms, generally alike one to the other, that are carried by respective support structures.
  • the platforms 1, 2 are indirectly moved by related pairs 10, 20 of hydraulic cylinders 3, 4, namely a first pair and a second pair.
  • the stems 3a, 4a of the cylinders 3, 4 belonging to the same pair of cylinders, are made to move in synchrony with each other, as mentioned in the prior art statement.
  • the cylinders 3 of the first pair 10 are connected to related conduits 5 that include respective cutoff solenoid valves 6 and that converge to a branch point 7 of a first pipe 8.
  • the pipes 8 and 13 are connected to a flow splitting valve 14 that is in turn connected to a main duct 15 departing from an electrohydraulic unit 50, of known type.
  • the first pipe 8 is also connected to the main duct 15 via a first channel 30.
  • This connection is set or removed by means of a first synchronisation solenoid valve 31, and a necking 42.
  • the synchronising solenoid valve 31, 41 are controlled by an electronic control unit 100, that is connected to sensor means first 17 and second 18 respectively adapted to detect, second by second, the length of each of the part of the stems 3a and 4a that is outside the respective cylinder.
  • these sensor means are positioned near the stems.
  • the electronic unit 100 processes the signals delivered by the sensor means 17, 18 in order to estimate how much the stems 3a, 4a have come out of the cylinders.
  • This operating style is performed until the difference in the coming out of the stems 4a, 3a take a value less than the tolerance that has been prefixed.
  • This operating cycle goes on until the difference between the coming out of the stems takes a value less than the prefixed tolerance.
  • the advantages coming from the present invention are basically technical ones, in that any nonalignment, in the horizontal plane, occurring for the support platforms of a hydraulic lifting device is promptly definitely eliminated.
  • each of the support platforms can be moved either by only one hydraulic cylinder or by more that two hydraulic cylinders.
