Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for controlling a motor-driven Hoist according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a motor-driven hoist which is a lifting and Lowerable load-carrying means, which at the lower end of a Supporting means is attached.
  • a handle on the load handler molded for an operator.
  • the handle points to the control of the two functions Raise and lower a ram button on each, the one as a rocker switch trained double arm by means of a pivoting wing are actuated.
  • the Plunger push-buttons belong to the externally operable control elements, which are unactivated in an inactive standby position where they have no deliver electrical control signals.
  • electrical control signals are generated via a corresponding connection cable directed to the power controllers of the drive.
  • the connecting cable in the form of a helical coil around arranged the suspension means.
  • the coil pulled apart accordingly The available stroke is due to the limited helix used.
  • An embodiment of the plunger button with successively arranged follower contacts is known from DE 44 12 557 C2, in which the control signals for the power controller with the help of a arranged on the plunger of the plunger master permanent magnet and an opposite fixed Hall sensor are generated.
  • US 5,574,585 discloses a system for transmitting control data between an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver.
  • the infrared transmitter includes a keyboard for inputting control signals, a Microprocessor, a power supply and a transmitter unit.
  • a keyboard for inputting control signals
  • a Microprocessor for a Microprocessor
  • a power supply for supplying power
  • a transmitter unit When pressing the Keyboard wakes the transmitter from hibernation, including the Powered by a first signal from the keyboard for the Transmitter unit is turned on. Then that's from the keyboard transmitted control signal to the receiver and there by a Control unit implemented. When idle, the system continues to consume Energy.
  • the object of the invention is a device for controlling a hoist indicate that the o. g. Disadvantages avoids.
  • the solution provides in and / or on the housing: a transmitter for wireless Transmission of the control signals to a remote from the housing, with the power controller control connected receiver, further one Power supply for the control elements and the transmitter and a Activation switch, which upon actuation of one of the control elements the Power is turned on and off each, if all Controls are in their standby position.
  • a Activation switch which upon actuation of one of the control elements the Power is turned on and off each, if all Controls are in their standby position.
  • the power supply is from the control elements and the transmitter so always separated when all controls are in their ready position.
  • the receiver can be supplied by the power supply of the power controller. This is done via a common cable connection.
  • each control element shifts in the course its actuating path, the activation switch. It is technically simple to switch on the power supply common activation switch is provided and all control elements turn it on and off
  • each control element as Tappet is formed, with at least one in the course of his Movement path arranged activation switch, wherein the associated plunger can be moved back into its standby position by a return spring.
  • An ergonomically favorable solution provides that a ram button for the two Functions lifting and lowering is provided, with the two plunger button above a trained as a rocker double arm by means of a swing wing are operable.
  • Each lever arm is one of the two plunger push-buttons for actuation assigned.
  • the housing is a to Load handling means arranged handle shaped.
  • a simple and inexpensive solution provides that transmission using Infrared light takes place, the transmitter and the receiver facing each other and / or the radiation angle is chosen so large that the infrared light of the transmitter safely reached the receiver.
  • a variety of drives of one or more hoists are with the inventive solution controllable when the transmission signal a Contains address information for the recipient to be addressed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device for controlling a hoist, in a known manner a raised and lowered, attached to a chain as a support means hook as Has load-carrying means.
  • the drive of the lifting movement takes place by means of a Motors, which is controllable in a known manner via power controller.
  • the power controller are connected via corresponding cables to a drive power supply.
  • Fig. 1 shows the device without housing, which takes the form of a load receiving means has firmly arranged handle.
  • FIG. 1 shows a printed circuit board 4, on the three plunger button 5, 6, 7, each with a longitudinally displaceable plunger as Control elements are arranged.
  • Each of the parallel aligned Plunger button 5, 6, 7 is displaceable in its push rod longitudinal direction.
  • the two Push-button 5, 6 are for the functions lifting (push-button 5) and lowering (Plunger button 6) provided; the plunger button 7 serves to stop the Antnebs in an emergency situation.
  • the plunger button 5, 6, 7 are based on Fig. 1 at its upper end with a provided in ram longitudinally extending cylinder button 8, 9, 10, located at closed housing through corresponding housing openings to the outside extends, so that the plunger button 5, 6, 7 are actuated by an operator.
  • the plunger button 5, 6, 7 are shown in their inactive ready position, in they are held automatically by means not shown return springs. Are located all three plunger buttons 5, 6, 7 in their standby position, ie as shown in Fig. 1 in its uppermost position, the activation switch 12 is turned off and thus the accumulator 1 of the plunger buttons 5, 6, 7 and the transmitter 2 separately. In Consequently, no electrical energy is consumed in this switching state. First upon actuation of a plunger button 5 or 6 or 7, the activation switch 12 closed and thus the power supply (accumulator 1) turned on.
  • a common Connecting element 11 which here is plate-shaped, down, which directly or after a given free travel a single Activation switch 12 actuated, the accumulator 1 with the plunger buttons 5, 6, 7 including the associated electronics as well as the transmitter 2 connects, so that These are supplied with elektnscher energy.
  • the use of the common Connecting element 11 ensures that each plunger button 5, 6, 7 in the course of his Move the (single) activation switch 12 closes and thus the Power supply (the accumulator 1) turns on.
  • Fig. 1 shows two more the direction signal for the power controller issuing Switch 13, 14, which are closed only after the activation switch 12. in the Course of the actuation path of the plunger button 5, 6, 7 so be the first Activation switch 12 and subsequently (on actuation of the plunger button 5 or 6) the direction switch 13 or 14 is closed.
  • the transmitter 2 is aligned on the load receiving means, that this the receiver is facing, wherein the radiation angle is chosen so large that the infrared light the Receiver safely reached.
  • the transmitter 2 transmits the control signals For security reasons I encrypted an address information for the to be addressed receiver.
  • the two plunger buttons 5, 6 are arranged at the load receiving means Handle designed for ergonomic reasons via a switching rocker Double arm operated by means of a swing wing.
