Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mobile harbor crane as a mobile handling device for General cargo, in particular for handling ISO containers from smaller ones Container ships consisting of an undercarriage with multi-axis steerable Tire chassis and laterally telescopic supports as well as a die Basis for the luffing jib with the load handler arranged on it forming superstructure, the fixed tower, the drive units and the Counterweight carries and is connected to the undercarriage via a slewing gear.
  • Mobile harbor cranes are generally used in sea and inland ports when handling General cargo, especially ISO containers, and often in "stand-by" mode used next to container gantry cranes.
  • the mobility of these mobile harbor cranes sets Environmental conditions, usually on the manually operated Container terminals are given.
  • the transport width of a known mobile harbor crane is determined by the size of the telescopic outrigger, the transport height is determined by the angular position of the Outrigger determined.
  • the method known with the cantilever which deals with one at the Boom tip bearing supported wheel on the quay. Even if it is stored
  • the boom in this type of procedure is the height of the fixed tower specified headroom very large, so that e.g. the passage through the portal a container bridge is not possible. In this case, a separate lane next to the track of the container bridge.
  • Mobile harbor cranes should always be quick and extremely mobile on a quay move to the positions assigned to them with the least space requirement.
  • Devices that meet these conditions could be particularly economical for loading or Unloading even from small container ships such as barges and feeders (capacity up to approx. 400 TEU) can be used.
  • they could be an integral part an automatic container terminal, i.e. the higher-level terminal logistics guarded the loading and unloading process, with the mobile harbor crane Load automated on predetermined parking spaces in defined orientations can discontinue.
  • the object of the present invention is based on those described Problems and disadvantages in the state of the art of a new type of handling device for general cargo, using the well-known technology of mobile harbor cranes Tire chassis builds up and the loading and unloading of enables smaller container ships in particular.
  • the new device should do so become an integral part of an automatic container terminal and in the Being able to interact with driverless transport systems, various Connect areas of the container terminal with each other.
  • the device is said to be fast and can move to its position extremely mobile with minimal space requirements and the load is automated on predetermined parking spaces in a precisely defined one Alignment.
  • a mobile harbor crane which is characterized in that the boom in the lower Area of the superstructure is hinged to the steel structure and to his Boom tip carries a boom head on which the load handler over Lifting ropes are struck.
  • the steel structure of the superstructure is the basis for the Boom bearing.
  • the superstructure continues to carry the machine house with the Drive unit, the slewing gear with the roller slewing ring, the two double lifting winches, the double luffing winch, the fall support, the e-space, that Counterweight and the known, rigid with a flange connection Uppercarriage connected tower.
  • the rigid tower By the linkage of the boom in the lower Area of the superstructure, the rigid tower can be designed lower, so that the maximum, through the top of the tower and the rope pulleys stored there certain headroom of the mobile harbor crane can be significantly lower.
  • This enables the boom to be driven through with the boom lowered accordingly Portals of a container bridge without having a separate additional lane next to it the rail track of the container bridge must be present.
  • the adjustment of the the boom mounted deep on the superstructure steel structure is supported by a rope-driven Seesaw made; one between the outrigger foot and the uppercarriage pre-tensioned hydraulic spring storage system serves as a fall support and ensures a controlled, damped rocking process, especially in steep positions of the boom. If a hydraulic luffing gear is alternatively provided, this is not necessary Fall-back support.
  • the boom head is connected to the boom tip by means of a parallelogram guide and by means of handrails or ropes when rocking vertically into every boom position and remains aligned horizontally.
  • the boom head is in horizontally divided in two and consists of an upper one, over the Parallelogram guide connected to the luffing boom first part and one connected to this upper part via a horizontal rotary connection lower second part.
  • This design of the boom head enables the lower part of the boom head versus the vertical, in each Swivel position of the boom horizontally aligned upper part of the To pivot the boom head so that the attached to it Load handler can turn the general cargo into the desired position, for example, when a container is loaded and unloaded, its doors or the cooling units of reefer containers in a defined orientation bring.
  • the lower part of the pivotable about a vertical axis of rotation Boom head opposite the fixed upper part of the boom head by means of Rotary drives can be swiveled up to +/- 135 °.
  • a total of four hoisting ropes are raised and lowered by the load handler preferably five times reeving in the middle between the tower and the jib tip four rope pulleys mounted on the jib tip, two in the upper part of the Boom head mounted pulley pairs are guided, one of which is too the other pair is arranged so offset above the other pair that the four hoisting ropes in parallel and at equal intervals to each other vertically through the center the slewing ring run through to the load handling device, where the Hoist ropes are drawn outwards in a star shape via four vertically rotating pulleys one each of four further deflection pulleys are guided, which the respective Lift rope vertically back up to the pivotable lower part of the Boom head where the four hoisting ropes are firmly attached.
  • the five-fold reeving of the hoisting ropes between the tower and the jib tip serves reaching a horizontal load path when the boom is luffing.
  • the A total of four hoisting ropes are guided so that the vertical rope drain in the horizontal sectional view of the lifting ropes results in a square with the side length "z".
  • the four hoisting ropes running in the direction of the load beam initially follow the four on the Load traverse arranged inner x-shaped, vertically circumferential Rope pulleys and are then ascending horizontally over four also on the Load traverse X-shaped, vertically rotating outer rope pulleys vertically led back to the rotating part of the boom head, where the fixed rope points are are located.
  • the four x-shaped inner pulleys on the load beam are like this that the vertical lifting ropes in their vertical Cut a square with the side lengths "z". This arrangement allows a swiveling of the boom head by approx. +/- 135 °.
  • the distance between the lower of the two in the upper part of the boom head Rope roller pairs and the four in the lower part of the boom head vertically rotating pulleys is chosen such that the permissible Cable deflection when turning the lower part of the boom head ⁇ 4 ° exceeds.
  • This permissible rope deflection is, for example, in DIN 15020 sheet 1 established.
  • the boom with the articulated boom head is pivotable into a lower transport position in which the boom tip is arranged below an imaginary horizontal plane, that affects the top of the mobile harbor crane is also the top of the tower the measure for the maximum headroom of the device, but this is clear lower than with conventional devices. Because even when lowering the boom the boom head can remain in a defined working position drive through container bridges, for example, and is therefore extremely Mobility on.
  • the axes of the Tire chassis to the undercarriage are arranged asymmetrically. Such is done in the direction of travel of the device Alignment that those axes or that axis of the device in whose The direction of the boom is lowered, extends further beyond the superstructure than the remaining axes.
  • the new mobile harbor crane has a number of advantages. So the new one Device, because not rail bound, its location on the quay anytime switch, and can operate an automatic container terminal to get integrated. Since the device according to the invention compared to conventional mobile harbor crane in the transport position a relatively small Headroom, there is no need for a separate lane next to the track the container bridge. Above all the design of the boom head and the Load suspension devices enable controlled load control with a defined Load transfer.
