Definitions
- the invention relates to a hand-controlled lifting device with a pneumatic lifting drive, a lifting element connected to it, a load-carrying means arranged at the end of the lifting element, and a pneumatic switch which is integrated in a pressure line connecting a compressed air source with a pressure space of the lifting drive and which connects the pressure space of the lifting drive in connects in one position to the compressed air source and in another position to a ventilation device.
- the invention has for its object to provide such a lifting device with little additional technical effort, which achieves at least approximately the same lifting and lowering speeds in the entire working area and regardless of the load to be moved.
- this object is achieved in that a flow control flow lying in the load flow is integrated between two load-transmitting components, which is simultaneously switched on between the pneumatic switch and the pressure chamber of the linear actuator in the compressed air line, and the flow cross section under the action of the load acting on the load-carrying means the compressed air line automatically varies so that a) a larger flow cross-section occurs during a lifting operation at high load than at low load, and b) a smaller flow cross-section sets at lower load than at lower load.
- the flow control device can contain a) two adjustable throttle valves connected in parallel, to which b) a non-return valve is connected in series, and c) one in the direction of flow from the pneumatic switch to the pressure chamber a non-return valve is assigned a throttle valve, which increases the throttle cross section when the load increases and d) a non-return valve is assigned to the non-return valve opening in the opposite flow direction, which reduces the throttle cross section when the load increases.
- the throttle valves can be position-controlled in such a way that when their axial length changes, the throttle effect changes accordingly.
- Such throttle valves can be designed such that a spring-loaded actuating pin protrudes from an axially extending housing, the axial displacement of which changes the throttle cross-section inside the housing.
- the two throttle valves can be accommodated in a common outer housing in such a way that their two axial ends lie against the inner surfaces of two opposite walls of the outer housing, the mutual distance of which can be changed under elastic deformation, on the outer surfaces of which tensile or compressive forces from load-transmitting parts attack.
- FIG. 1 in partial longitudinal section, the schematic representation of a lifting device with einam rope as a lifting device
- Fig. 2 shows the side view of a lifting device with a mechanical boom as
- FIGS. 6 to 8 different embodiments of outer housings
- a pneumatic lifting drive 1 in the form of a pneumatic cylinder is provided, in which a pressure chamber 3 is arranged below a piston 2.
- a rope 5 is fastened as a lifting member, which carries a crane hook 6 as a load-carrying means at its lower end.
- the pressure chamber 3 is fed with compressed air from a compressed air source 8 via a pressure line 7. Behind the compressed air source 8, a pneumatic switch 9 is switched on in the pressure line 7 and subsequently a flow control device 10 behind it.
- the pneumatic switch 9 has three show positions I, 0 and I. In the switching position I shown, the switch allows the compressed air to flow freely from the compressed air source 8 to the flow control device. If the switch is switched to the switch position 0, this flow is prevented, as is a backflow of air via the pressure line 7. In this switch position, for example, a raised load is held in the position reached. Finally, in switch position II, the compressed air supply from the compressed air source 8 is completed, while the reflux of the air from the pressure chamber 3 to the ventilation device 11 is open.
- the compressed air line is branched and reaches two adjustable throttle valves D1 and D2 connected in parallel, each of which has a check valve R1 and R2 connected in series.
- the compressed air line then unites again and thus reaches the pressure chamber 3 of the linear actuator 1
- the compressed air coming from the compressed air source 8 flows to the flow control device 10, it can flow there through the adjustable throttle valve D1 and the check valve R1, which then opens, to the pressure chamber 3, while the second flow path is via the Throttle valve D2 is completed by the check valve R2.
- the throttle valve D1 is adjusted by the force F acting on the crane hook 6 in such a way that the throttle cross section is reduced when the load F is low, but increased when the load F rises. This ensures that the lifting speed is at least approximately the same regardless of the size of the load.
- the pneumatic switch 9 must be brought into the switching position ü. Characterized the pressure line 7 is connected to the venting device 1 1. The air emerging from the pressure chamber 3 when the piston 2 sinks flows via the pressure line 7 to the flow control device 10, where it now opens the non-return valve R2 and then flows through the adjustable throttle valve D2. The throttle valve becomes a function of the force acting on the crane hook 6 F is adjusted so that it decreases the throttle cross-section with increasing force F and thus prevents an abrupt drop in the load.
- a parallel log arm 13 and a bracket 14 are pivotably mounted on a standing column 12.
- a pneumatic lifting drive 1 is supported on the console 14 with the interposition of a flow control device 10 and engages with the piston rod 4 on the parallelogram boom 13, as a result of which the latter is raised and lowered can be.
- a load arm 15 is pivotally mounted on the parallelogram boom 13 and carries a crane hook 6 at its end. Above the crane hook 6 there is a pneumatic switch 9, which is connected via a pressure line 7 on the one hand to a compressed air source 8 and on the other hand to the flow control device 10, which in turn is connected to the pressure chamber of the linear actuator 1 via a pressure line 7.
- the course of action here is the same as described above in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 shows an adjustable throttle valve which consists of a housing 16, the interior 17 of which has an inlet air opening 18 and an outlet air opening 19.
- An intermediate wall 20, which has a throttle bore 21, is arranged in the interior 17 between these openings.
- a conical throttling needle 22 plunges into this, which is connected to a longitudinally displaceable cylindrical guide point 23 which is mounted in the housing 16 and which in turn has an actuating pin 24 projecting axially from the housing 16.
- the throttle needle is from the bottom to a pressure plate 25, which is under the action of a spring 26, which presses the throttle needle in an upper Endst ⁇ llung.
- this throttle valve is installed in a flow control device in such a way that the actuating pin 24 is pressed into the housing 16 as the load increases, the throttle cross section is thereby increasingly reduced.
- the variant of a throttle valve shown in FIG. 4 differs from that of FIG. 3 only in that the throttle needle 22 is conical in the opposite direction, so that in this case the throttle cross section is enlarged when the actuating pin 24 is pushed into the housing 16.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a double-acting throttle valve.
- an inlet air bore 18 opens into the interior 17 of the housing 16.
- Two exhaust air openings 19 and 27 are provided at an axial distance from one another.
- an intermediate wall 20 is provided in the interior 17, each one Have throttle bore 21.
- a conical throttle needle 22 is immersed, which is connected to one another and is conical in opposite directions. If the actuating pin is pressed down in this case, the throttle cross section between the supply air opening 18 and the exhaust air opening 19 is simultaneously increasingly reduced, while at the same time the throttle cross section between the supply air bore 18 and the exhaust air bore 27 is increased.
- This throttle valve thus replaces the two throttle valves D1 and D2 shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 6 shows a pot-shaped outer housing 28, in which an inverted cup-shaped hollow piston 29 is mounted so as to be longitudinally lockable.
- the outer housing 28 is closed at its open end by an inserted cover 30, through which a tension bolt 31 projects, which also projects by means of a screw the bottom of the hollow piston 29 is connected.
- a plate spring assembly 32 Arranged between the bottom of the hollow piston 29 on the one hand and the cover 30 on the other hand is a plate spring assembly 32 which presses the hollow piston 29 downward in the outer housing 28.
- two adjustable throttle valves 33 and 34 are used, which are supported on the one hand on the closed bottom of the outer housing and on the other hand on the closed bottom of the hollow piston with their actuating pins 24.
- the throttle valves 33 and 34 are in one case a throttle valve according to FIG. 3 and in the other case one according to FIG. 4. If this component is used e.g. in the rope 5 according to Flg. 1 installed, the rope forces act on the one hand on the tension bolt 31 and on the other hand on the bottom of the outer housing 28, the hollow piston 29 being moved upward against the action of the spring assembly 32 with increasing load, as a result of which the actuating pins 24 continue to move out of the housings of the throttle valves 33 and 34 emerge and thus the throttle cross sections are changed inside.
- FIG. 7 A reverse variant is shown in FIG. 7.
- an outer housing 35 is provided, in which a hollow piston 36 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable and secured by a snap ring 37 so that it can emerge downwards.
- An action acts between the bottom of the outer housing 35 and the end face of the hollow piston 36 Disc spring package 38, in the center of which a support !! 39 is provided, against which the actuating pin 24 of a throttle valve 40 is supported, which is a double-acting throttle valve according to FIG. 5.
- this component which is stressed by the load to be moved by the lifting device, can be used, for example, in an embodiment according to FIG. 2.
- Fig. 8 finally shows a relatively simple variant, in which a double-acting throttle valve 40 is inserted into a metal ring 41, which deforms in the longitudinal direction of the throttle valve under the action of tensile or compressive forces, so that the actuating pin 24 in one Fall is pushed into the throttle valve, - or can continue to emerge from it in the other case.
