Description
- This invention relates to a swing displacement detector for measuring the swing displacement of a suspended load in a crane.
- The structure of a conventional crane is shown in Fig. 3.
- As shown in Fig. 3, a crane
upper structure 1 is supported on the ground vialegs 2.Rails 3 are installed on theupper structure 1, and atrolley 4 is borne movably on therails 3. - From the
trolley 4, arope 5 hangs down, and a suspendedload 6 is attached to the front end of therope 5, whereby the suspendedload 6 is transported. - When an automatic run is to be performed in such a crane, control for steadying (i.e., stopping the swing of) the suspended load is necessary. To carry out the steadying control, it is necessary to measure the relative displacement of the
trolley 4 and the suspendedload 6 as a feedback signal. - To measure this displacement of the suspended
load 6, amarker 11 is put on the suspendedload 6. Thismarker 11 is shot with acamera 12 mounted on thetrolley 4 vertically downwards. A picture of themarker 11 taken is entered into a suspendedload displacement detector 15 which performs image processing of the picture to detect the displacement x1 of themarker 11. - With such a crane, a long periodic wave component lasting about 5 to 10 seconds is observed in vibrations of the
rope 5 about the position of mounting of therope 5 on thetrolley 4 as a fulcrum. - However, the measured value x1 of swing displacement based on the
camera 12 mounted on thetrolley 4 presents a signal comprising the long periodic wave component, the vibrations of therope 5, superimposed by a short periodic wave component with a periodic wave component with a period of about 2 seconds, as illustrated in Fig. 4. - The reason is as follows: As shown in Fig. 5, the crane
upper structure 1 supported by thelegs 2 vibrates horizontally owing to a warp of the leg 2 (the vibration is designated as displacement x2). In accordance with the vibrations, thetrolley 4 and thecamera 12 mounted on thetrolley 4 also vibrate in the horizontal direction. Thus, the displacement x2 from the vibrations of the craneupper structure 1 is detected at the same time. - Control for steadying of the suspended
load 6 is aimed at stopping the long periodic vibrations of therope 5. Such a short periodic component acts as a disturbance in the feedback signal for control, thus constituting a factor for lowering the control performance. - GB-A-2,300,177 discloses a travelling crane having apparatus for preventing load vibration. Vibration prevention is achieved by using values determined for the load's displacement and velocity, the trolley's position and velocity, and the crane body's displacement and velocity. These six values are used in a mathematical expression that provides a trolley velocity command, i.e. a command that makes the trolley move in a fashion to minimise vibration. The load's displacement is measured by a camera that images a marker associated with the load and infers the load's velocity from these measurements. The vibration induced in the crane's body is measured using an acceleration meter: the corresponding velocity and displacement are found using inferential devices comprising an integrator and a filter. Accordingly, the displacement is found indirectly, using two integration operations.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided a suspended load swing displacement detector comprising: a swing displacement detector for detecting relative displacement between a trolley and a suspended load in a crane suspending the suspended load by a rope or the like; a crane upper structure displacement detector for detecting the displacement of a crane upper structure supporting the trolley from the ground surface; and an arithmetic means for receiving as inputs the measured value of suspended load displacement by the swing displacement detector and the measured value of crane upper structure displacement by the crane upper structure displacement detector, and for correcting the measured value of suspended load displacement based on the difference between the measured value of suspended load displacement and the measured value of crane upper structure displacement, and wherein the swing displacement detector comprises a camera mounted on the trolley arranged to image a marker put on the load characterised in that the crane upper structure displacement detector comprises a camera attached to the crane upper structure arranged to image a marker fixed on the ground.
- This embodiment has the upper structure displacement detector for measuring the displacement of the crane upper structure, and based on its measured value, corrects the measured value of the suspended load swing displacement detector. Thus, the detector can eliminate the vibrational component of the crane upper structure from the measured value of swing of the suspended load, thereby detecting the swing component of the suspended load highly accurately.

- A structural view of a swing displacement detector in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1. The same parts as in the aforementioned earlier technology are assigned the same numerals and symbols, and explanations for them are omitted.
- As shown in the drawing, a marker 13 is fixed on the ground, and a ground
surface marker camera 14 is attached onto a craneupper structure 1. - The ground
surface marker camera 14 shoots the marker 13, and sends its image signal to an upperstructure displacement detector 16. - The upper
structure displacement detector 16 performs image processing of the signal to determine the displacement of the marker 13, that is, relative displacement between theupper structure 1 and the ground. - A suspended load displacement, x1, detected by a suspended
load displacement detector 15, and an upper structure displacement, x2, detected by the upperstructure displacement detector 17 are each sent to anarithmetic unit 17. - The
arithmetic unit 17 calculates the difference between the suspended load displacement x1 and the upper structure displacement x2. - The measured value x1 of suspended load displacement by the suspended
load displacement detector 15 is a value comprising the swing displacement of the suspended load superimposed by the displacement of theupper structure 1, as shown in Fig. 2. - The upper
structure displacement detector 16, on the other hand, measures the relative displacement between the marker 13 and the upper structure, namely, the vibrational displacement of the upper structure relative to the ground surface. - Hence, the difference between the suspended load displacement x1 and the upper structure displacement x2 is sequentially calculated by the
arithmetic unit 17, whereby a corrected value, x3, of suspended load displacement unaffected by the vibrations of theupper structure 1 can be obtained as shown in Fig. 2. - As described concretely based on the embodiment, the present invention eliminates the vibrational component of the crane upper structure from the measured value of swing of the suspended load. Thus, it can constitute a highly accurate suspended load swing displacement detector even for a crane having a vibrational component in the crane structure.
