  • Lifting distribution boom cranes also have the advantage, for compared to horizontal jib cranes of comparable pylon heights, ability to bring loads to greater heights.
  • Patent FR 2605619 describes a crane which combines the effects of a crane with distributor boom articulated with those of a lifting distributor boom crane, thus giving a certain versatility.
  • the crane described has the advantage of being unfoldable and foldable and this automatically.
  • this crane always has a minimum reach important.
  • the height gain under hook obtained when the tip of the arrow is raised remains relatively small, cannot exceed an amplitude angular equivalent to 30 ° from the horizontal.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a jib lifting device versatile swivel dispenser, which can just as easily be used as a lifting jib crane only as a jib crane articulated, the transformation from one function to another must be done the most simply possible.
  • the object of the present invention is also to produce a multipurpose swiveling distributing boom lift which, when working as a articulated distributor boom crane, has a very small minimum reach.
  • Another object of the present invention is to produce a lifting machine with Versatile orientable distributor boom capable of distributing a load with a regular speed, in particular with a constant horizontal speed when works like an articulated jib crane.
  • the present invention also aims to achieve a lifting machine to versatile orientable distributor boom which, when the boom is articulated on a articulated pylon, can be folded up as compactly as possible so that it can be placed in a marine-type container for its transport.
  • the present invention relates to a boom lifting device swiveling distributor working in articulated mode or in lifting mode for the lifting and handling of loads as defined in claim 1, the dependent claims 2 to 12 specifying the characteristics of the different variants of this craft.
  • the first variant of the lifting device with swiveling distributing jib working in articulated mode or in lifting mode for lifting and handling of loads as shown in Figure 1 has a collapsible pylon consisting of two sections articulated to each other, namely a pylon base 21 and an upper pylon 22.
  • the pylon foot is pivotally mounted about an axis horizontal on the front part of a rotating chassis or turret 12.
  • the pylon upper door pivoting around a horizontal articulation 26, on the one hand, a articulated and lifting distributing boom 31, 41 and, on the other hand, two punches symmetrical 16 connected at their ends by an axis carrying two pulleys 17.
  • the turret 12 is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis on a carrying frame 11.
  • the pylon is kept in the usual working position thanks to a set of elements consisting of a ballast 13 fixed on the rear part of the turret 12, straightening struts 23 connecting the pylon to the turret, two tie rods 25, all connected to a control device not shown in the drawing, capable of be for example a winch placed on the turret 12, the two tie rods passing respectively on the two pulleys 17 of the punches 16.
  • the articulated and lifting distributor boom consists of two parts masters, namely an arrow foot 31 and a dart 41, articulated one to the other.
  • the lower end of the jib foot 31 is connected, by means of the horizontal joint 26, at the top of the upper pylon 22.
  • the other end of the boom foot is connected, via a horizontal articulation 45, to the dart 41.
  • the articulation 45 divides the dart 41 into two asymmetrical parts, namely a dart 42, carrying at its end two pulleys 44, and a dart point 43, carrying at its end 46 two pulleys guiding means load suspension consisting of a lifting cable 53, a muffle and a lifting hook 54.
  • the distributor arrow is in working position in articulated mode.
  • the tie rods 25 pass successively through the grooves in the pulleys 17 of the two punches 16, then in those of the two pulleys 44 of the jib 42, and are fixed on the dart 41.
  • the tie rods 25 form with the arrow foot 31, the two punches 16 and the counter-dart 42 a quadrilateral deformable. This geometric configuration, known from the prior art, allows the end 46 of the tip of the dart 43 to cover a surface approximately flat and horizontal.
  • the dart foot 31 is in fact made up of two parallel beams 31a and 31b laterally mounted on either side, on the one hand, of the upper pylon 22, and, on the other hand, of the dart 41.
  • the counter-dart 42 can be housed within the slot or the spacing 34 generated between these two beams 31a and 31b and perfect alignment of the dart 41 with the arrow foot 31 is then obtained, which, as we see below, allows a significant gain in height under hook compared to to the versatile arrows of the prior art which have a bent shape.
  • FIG. 2 shows different phases of boom operation distributor in articulated mode.
  • the device controlling the tie rods 25 has been previously blocked so keep the distance between the pulleys 17 and 44 constant during all phases of the articulation of the distributing arrow.
  • a distribution cable 51 fixed to the end 46 of the dart, passes through the groove of a pulley 28 placed at the top of the upper pylon 22 and is connected to a control device not shown in the drawing, which may for example be a winch placed on the turret 12, and which makes it possible to vary the length of this cable.
  • the end 46 of the dart point 43 passes through the intermediate position C, approximately corresponding to the minimum span position which was obtained with the lifting devices of the prior art.
  • Figure 3 shows, in detail, the arrangement different elements at the top of the upper pylon 22. It can be seen that the articulation 26, supporting the jib foot 31, is placed at the front of the pylon superior. A joint 27, supporting, on the one hand, the pulley 28 guiding the cable distribution 51 and, on the other hand, the two punches 16, is placed at the rear of the upper pylon.
  • each of the punches is articulated to a straightening sling 20, thus avoiding tilting of the punches towards the rear of the machine, the sling being connected to a straightening strut 23.
  • the top of the pylon is extended by two parts 29 forming a stop for the two punches, thus avoiding their tilting forward of the hoist.
  • Each of the beams of the jib foot 31 carries a return bridge 32 for straightening the boom.
  • a stop 33 based respectively on each of punches, thus avoiding the tilting of the jib foot 31 towards the rear of the machine lifting.
  • the return to articulated mode of the distributing boom is done by operating a traction on the cable 51.
  • the height of the profile of the dart 41 at the level of the articulation 45 is sufficient to act as a lever arm, thus allowing the release of the counter-dart 42 from the locking device 61.
  • the attachment point 48 of the tie rods 25 is situated at the level of articulation 45.
  • a cable 55 controlled for example using a winch placed on the turret 12 not shown in the drawing, is fixed near the end 44 of the counter-dart 42 and passes around a pulley 35 disposed under the two beams of the jib foot 31.
  • a simple pulling operation on this cable 55 first of all allows the dart 41 to be aligned with the arrow foot 31, then to guarantee the blocking of this alignment.
  • Figures 6 and 7a to 7c show in detail the elements constituting the blocking device 61 integral, on the one hand, with each of the two beams 31a and 31b of the jib foot 31 and, on the other hand, of the jib 42 of the dart 41 and cooperating together to keep the dart 41 and the arrow foot aligned 31.
