Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices ensuring the automatic balancing of the boom of a crane with articulated or telescopic arms depending on the variation of the range of this boom and, more particularly, such a hydraulic automatic balancing device.
  • French Patent No. 82.19842 discloses a hydraulic device for automatically balancing the boom of a crane, in which a chamber of the hydraulic cylinder controlling the movement of the auxiliary arm of the boom and a chamber of the jack the hydraulic control of the balance of the counterweight are connected in series, while the other chamber of each of the two cylinders is connected selectively, by means of a hydraulic distributor, either to a hydraulic fluid supply source, or to a reservoir of hydraulic fluid. It thus occurs, by transfer of fluid in the balancing line connecting the two cylinders, an automatic balancing of the arrow by proportional displacements of the centers of gravity of the auxiliary arm and the counterweight.
  • This known device has a deserved success, but it however has the disadvantage that, due to leaks that may occur in the hydraulic circuits, particularly at the joints, there may be a lack of synchronization in the movements of the arm auxiliary and counterweight balance that is likely to disrupt the operation of the device.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and proposes for this purpose a simple, reliable and inexpensive system making it possible to automatically or manually compensate for this synchronization fault.
  • Document FR 1 135 807 discloses an automatic balancing system for a crane of the type comprising an arrow constituted by a single arm articulated at one end to a base, this arm carrying a counterweight designed to be able to slide. Balancing is provided by a spring-loaded piston to which is attached the lifting cable of the boom, the piston moving in a hydraulic cylinder connected to a hydraulic cylinder controlling the sliding of the counterweight.
  • the provision of a pressure boost to the cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder, to correct the balancing, is provided by a pump connected to an oil tank and controlled manually or by motor.
  • Also known from document EP 0 970 915 is a crane whose boom comprises a main arm which is articulated an auxiliary arm at one end, while at its other end are articulated two arms each supporting a counterweight and connected together by a hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic connection between the two cylinders ensures the balancing of the boom.
  • a variable range crane boom with a hydraulic balancing device is of the type comprising a main arm mounted for pivoting on a support turret, an auxiliary arm articulated at one end of the main arm and whose tilting is controlled by a first double-acting hydraulic jack carried by the main arm and whose rod is coupled to the auxiliary arm, a counterweight articulated to the rear end of the main arm, a second double-acting hydraulic jack carried by the main arm and of which the rod is coupled to the counterweight, a hydraulic balancing line interconnecting the annular chambers of said first and second cylinders, and a control device selectively connecting the solid section chamber of one of the first and second hydraulic cylinders to a source supplying hydraulic fluid and the solid section chamber of the other of said two hydraulic cylinders to a hydraulic fluid tank.
  • a hydraulic fluid supply line connecting the hydraulic fluid supply source to the hydraulic balancing pipe, by a fluid supply control means to the balancing pipe which is provided on the said fluid supply line, and by position detection means which are arranged on the one hand in the vicinity of the articulated connection between the main arm and the auxiliary arm and, on the other hand, in the vicinity of the articulated connection between the main arm and the counterweight, said means for detecting position, in case of detection of a pendular position of the auxiliary arm in the absence of simultaneous detection of a vertical position of the counterweight, controlling via a PLC the activation of the control means to ensure a supply of hydraulic fluid to the balancing line.
  • the fluid supply control means is constituted by an electro-valve.
  • the fluid supply control means is constituted by a hydraulic valve or a manually operated valve.
  • a hydraulic fluid evacuation pipe to a reservoir is connected to the balancing line in the vicinity of each of the two hydraulic cylinders, on each said evacuation line being arranged a control valve of evacuation. It is thus understood that, by actuation of one of these evacuation control valves, the operator can correct any synchronization defect of the movements of the auxiliary arm and the counterweight due to excess oil in the balancing line. .
  • FIG. 1 and 2 there is shown an articulated arm crane boom equipped with a hydraulic automatic balancing device as described in the French patent published under No. 2,536,733.
  • the crane boom comprises a main arm 1, articulated to a turret 2 about a horizontal axis and whose tilting is controlled by a jack 3.
  • To the arm 1 are hinged at its front end an auxiliary arm 4 and at its rear end, a rocker 5 carrying a counterweight 6.
  • a hydraulic jack 7, double acting, is mounted at the front end of the main arm 1 and its rod is coupled to the auxiliary arm 4.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 8 double-acting is mounted at the end rear of the main arm 1, and its rod is coupled to the rocker 5.
  • the annular section chamber of the cylinder 7 is connected by a pipe 9, said balancing pipe, to the annular section chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 8, while the full-section chambers of these two cylinders are selectively connected, via a hydraulic distributor 10, to a feed pump 11 in hydraulic fluid and a reservoir 12 of hydraulic fluid.
  • a hydraulic line 13 connects the pump 11 to the balancing pipe 9, via a solenoid valve 14 and a non-return valve 15.
  • the solenoid valve 14 is controlled , via a controller 16, by detectors 17, 18, of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical or electronic type, which are respectively installed on the auxiliary arm 4 and on the main arm 1.
  • Three control lights 19, 20 and 21, installed in the controller 16, make it possible to manage the state of the solenoid valve 14, that is to say a counterweight detection light 19 which is lit when the detector 18 does not detect the presence of the counterweight and extinguishes when the detector 18 detects the counterweight in the vertical position, a detection indicator 20 of the auxiliary arm 4 which is off when the detector 17 detects the presence of the auxiliary arm and which lights up when the arm auxiliary arrives in its pendulum position where the detector 17 loses its detection and an indicator 21 activation of the solenoid valve 14 which turns on when the two LEDs 19, 20 are lit simultaneously.
  • the detector 17 loses the detection of the auxiliary arm 4 and the indicator light 20 comes on, while simultaneously the detector 18 detects the presence of the balance 5 and the indicator 19 goes off, so that the indicator 21 remains off and the solenoid valve 14 is not activated.
  • the auxiliary arm 4 If, due to oil leaks occurring in the hydraulic circuit during operation, the auxiliary arm 4 has arrived at its pendulum position while the detector 18 does not detect the presence of the balance 5, the indicator 20 of the arm detection auxiliary 4 illuminates while the indicator 19 of the counterweight detector is still on.
  • the simultaneous lighting of the two lights 19 and 20 triggers the lighting of the indicator 21 and the automatic activation of the solenoid valve 14 which ensures, through the line 13, a supply of oil in the balancing pipe 9 from the pump 11.
  • This automatic oil supply restores the balance, which causes the automatic deactivation of the solenoid valve 14 and the crane returns to normal operating mode.
  • a hydraulic valve 24 At one end of the balancing line 9, between a hydraulic valve 23 and the annular chamber of the jack 7, is disposed a hydraulic valve 24 whose actuation allows to evacuate to a reservoir 25 a possible excess oil in the In the same way, a hydraulic valve 26 discharging into the reservoir 25 is disposed between the annular chamber of the cylinder 8 and a hydraulic valve 27 placed on the pipe 9.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown a manually controlled embodiment of the oil supply device according to the invention.
  • the same reference numbers have been used to denote the same elements as those belonging to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the operator finds against a lack of synchronization in the movements of the auxiliary arm 4 and the balance 5 of the counterweight, such that the arm 4 reaches an extended stop while the balance 5 has not arrived on its outer stops (this which denotes an excess of oil in the balancing line 9), it positions the boom of the crane in the up position and it opens the valve or valve 26 to evacuate to the reservoir 25 the excess oil in the conduct 9 until, by gravity, the rocker 5 arrives on its outer stops.
  • the valve or tap 26 also allows to control the fall of the balance 5 on its stops.
