Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, the field of foldable and collapsible tower cranes automatically, in particular for their transport to road, to the place of use and from a site to a other.
  • This invention is more particularly relative at the mast of such cranes.
  • mast cranes made up of a single element, telescopic mast cranes, lifting cranes mast foldable in several elements, and mast cranes foldable and telescopic.
  • the present invention relates to tower cranes of the foldable mast type, i.e. a mast consisting of at least two superimposed mast elements connected to each other by a joint, and capable of thus be folded to reduce the size of the mast and bring it into a substantially horizontal position, so to facilitate road transport of the crane.
  • the problem usually installed is to fold up in a minimal space, or less in a given transport space, a mast which, in the deployed working position, must have a maximum height or a given height.
  • Foldable mast cranes usually have a folding mast composed of only two elements of mast, i.e. a lower mast element articulated on the rotating chassis of the crane, and a mast element hinged top at the top of the mast element inferior.
  • a cylinder and connecting rod device which includes a hydraulic cylinder connecting the mast element lower than the upper mast element using a connecting rods, and dressage shrouds connecting the chassis rotating at the base of the upper mast element.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution economical to the problem of making a tower crane foldable in a small footprint, for a height maximum working time, the proposed solution remaining within the frame of foldable masts.
  • the invention provides a foldable mast in three elements, which in the transport position is folded in a substantially triangular configuration, particularly compact, while in position work the three mast elements are in a position substantially vertical and provide a working height optimal.
  • This mast is provided with a folding / unfolding, also ensuring its straightening, which is relatively simple and based on the mechanical principle of a deformable double quadrilateral.
  • the intermediate mast element has advantageously a triangular shape, the apex of which away from the longitudinal axis of said mast element intermediate serves as a point of attachment and articulation superior for the shroud (s), and also point attachment and lower articulation for the tie rod.
  • the motorization means here comprise a single cylinder, which directly controls the deformation of the lower quadrilateral previously defined, while the upper quadrilateral is deformed, so synchronized, by the action of the linkage itself driven by the deformation of the lower quadrilateral.
  • the mast in three elements, object of the invention is thus unfolded in a continuous movement, from the folded position of transport to the upright working position, folding of this mast taking place in a movement strictly reverse.
  • the second cylinder allows here to deform the one way deformable quadrilateral independent of the lower quadrilateral, which allows modify and adapt the unfolding space to avoid obstacles such as walls, trees, power lines, etc ...
  • the tower crane shown in the drawing includes a base frame 1 which supports, by means of a orientation mechanism 2, a rotating chassis 3 on which is articulated around a horizontal axis 4, a mast foldable 5 composed of three elements, namely: one element lower mast 6, an intermediate mast element 7 and an upper mast element 8.
  • the lower mast element 6 is articulated by its base, around horizontal axis 4, on the chassis rotating 3.
  • the intermediate mast element 7, of relatively short, is articulated by its base, around a horizontal axis 9, at the top of the element lower mast 6.
  • the upper mast element 8 is articulated by its base, around a horizontal axis 10, at the top of the intermediate mast element 7.
  • the three elements of mast 6, 7 and 8 consist of trellis or boxes.
  • the intermediate mast element 7 is extended laterally and backwards by a part 11 moving away from the longitudinal axis 12 of this mast element intermediate 7, which thus presents, seen from the side, a general triangular appearance.
  • the axes of articulation horizontal 4, 9 and 10 are all parallel to each other.
  • the upper mast element 8 carries at its top a distributor crane boom 13, hinged at the top of this mast element 8 around another horizontal axis 14, parallel to the previous ones.
  • the arrow 13 is, it also, carried out in three successive elements, designated respectively as jib foot 15, element 16 arrow folding intermediate and arrowhead 17, hinged together around horizontal axes.
  • jib foot 15 To the base of the jib foot 15 is articulated about an axis horizontal 18, a rigid arrow punch 19 inclined towards rear of crane in working position.
  • a draft of arrow 20 connects the top 21 of the arrow punch 19 to a point 22 of the upper chord of the jib foot 15.
  • Two parallel stay cables 23 are articulated by a end, around the same horizontal axis 24, on the rotating chassis 3.
  • the other end of the two stay cables 23 is articulated, around a same horizontal axis 25, on the rear part 11 of the intermediate mast element 7. More particularly, the attachment axis 25 and of the guy lines 23 is located near the top of the part 11 furthest from the longitudinal axis 12 of this intermediate mast element 7.
  • This structure defines a first quadrilateral deformable 26, of which the four vertices are materialized by the horizontal articulation axes 4, 9, 25 and 24.
  • a hydraulic drive cylinder 27 is articulated by one of its ends, around an axis horizontal 28, to the rotating chassis 3.
  • the other end of the cylinder 27 is articulated around a horizontal axis, in a intermediate point 29 of the length of the mast element lower 6.
  • the jack 27 is located here on the side opposite the shrouds 23, so that it is also located under said mast element lower 6, in the folded transport position. The actuation of the jack 27 controls the deformation of the quadrilateral 26 previously defined.
  • a flexible tie rod 30, called the retaining tie rod arrow is articulated by its lower end around a horizontal axis 31, on the rear part 11 of the intermediate mast element 7; more specifically, the axis 31 of attachment and articulation of the tie rod 30 is located at the top of part 11 furthest from the axis longitudinal 12 of the intermediate mast element 7.
  • the upper end of the arrow retainer 30 is articulated at the top 21 of the arrow punch 19.
  • the upper mast element 8 carries, in its part upper, a short auxiliary punch 32 on which the arrow retaining rod 30 is able to bear, in certain phases of the folding / unfolding process.
  • the structure described above defines a second deformable quadrilateral 33, of which the four vertices are materialized by the horizontal articulation axes 10, 14, 21 and 31.
  • the bent lever 35 is thus articulated, by its two ends, respectively at the two connecting rods 37 and 40. It follows that a modification of the angle formed by the lower mast element 6 and the mast element intermediate 7 is accompanied by a variation corresponding to the angle formed by the mast element intermediate 7 and the upper mast element 8.
  • the deformation of the first quadrilateral deformable 26, controlled by the jack 27, caused by via crankshaft 34 a deformation of the second deformable quadrilateral 33.
  • the base chassis 1 of the crane is itself carried by platform 43 of a small truck.
  • the elements of the mast 5 and boom 13 of the crane are folded over of platform 43 and, in part, above the cabin 44 of the truck carrying the crane.
  • the mast element lower 6 occupies an oblique position, lowering towards the back of the truck.
  • the intermediate mast element 7 occupies a substantially vertical position, behind the truck.
  • the upper mast element 8 occupies a position substantially horizontal, from the back of the truck up to the top of his cabin 44.
  • the arrow 13 is, itself, folded in a substantially horizontal position above of the upper mast element 8.
  • the jack 27 is retracted and takes place under the mast element lower 6, while the linkage 34, folded, occupies the space delimited between the three mast elements 6, 7 and 8.
  • the unfolding of mast 5 in three elements 6, 7 and 8 is carried out continuously, from the position transport folded from figure 1 to position unfolded working figure 4, passing by intermediate positions ( Figures 2 and 3), depending on the principle of the deformation of the two quadrilaterals deformable 26 and 33, the first quadrilateral 26 being deformed directly by the cylinder 27, while the second quadrilateral 33 is deformed through crankshaft 34, without the need for any energy source additional, the crankshaft 34 being itself moved by the deformation of the first quadrilateral 26.
  • FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which the elements common to those previously described are designated by the same references.
  • the connecting rod is deleted and replaced by a second hydraulic cylinder 46.
  • One end of the cylinder 46 is articulated around an axis horizontal 47, on part 11 of the mast element intermediate 7.
  • the other end of the cylinder 46 is articulated, around a horizontal axis 48, at a point intermediate the length of the upper mast element 8, relatively close to the base of this element of the mast superior 8.
  • the second cylinder 46 controls the deformation of the second quadrilateral 33, regardless of the deformation of the first quadrilateral 26 which, as before, is controlled by cylinder 27.
