Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a crane comprising a balanced boom comprising a main arm adapted to pivot on a turret under the control of a first hydraulic cylinder; an auxiliary arm pivotally mounted at one end of the main arm; a second hydraulic cylinder for pivoting the auxiliary arm, the second cylinder having a cylinder articulated on the main arm, a piston rod hinged to the auxiliary arm, a rod-side chamber and a bottom-side chamber; a counterweight pivotally mounted at the other end of the main arm; a third hydraulic cylinder for pivoting the counterweight, the third cylinder having a cylinder articulated on the main arm, a piston rod hinged to the counterweight, a rod-side chamber and a bottom-side chamber; a balancing line connecting the rod side chambers of the second and third cylinders; and first and second control lines connecting the bottom-side chambers of the second and third cylinders to a three-position distributor having a drawer selectively movable to an inactive position in which it closes the two
  • the crane boom of this type is designed to be automatically balanced according to its reach. Balancing, which is assured regardless of the position of the auxiliary arm, is indeed obtained through a displacement of the counterweight proportional to the displacement of the auxiliary arm, the displacement of the counterweight is of course synchro- nous with that of the auxiliary arm.
  • Balanced boom cranes can be used to lift or handle a wide variety of loads in excellent safety conditions. They can also be equipped with power units of reduced power and whose energy consumption can be lower than that of conventional crane engines.
  • the impossibility of reaching such locations is due to the fact that the auxiliary arm can not be held vertical during the pivoting of the main arm under the control of the first hydraulic cylinder.
  • the present invention proposes to provide a solution to this problem and, for this purpose, it relates to a balanced boom crane having the structure indicated in the first paragraph above and which is characterized in that it comprises a pipe connecting the ends of which are connected to the control lines, a two-position distributor mounted in the connecting line and having a slide movable between an inactive position in which it prevents the connecting line from connecting the two control lines and a position active in which it allows the connecting line to connect the two control lines, and control means for bringing the distributor slide to two positions in its active position.
  • the auxiliary arm when the main arm pivots between two different positions, the auxiliary arm remains vertical under the weight of the load to be moved because the volumes of the bottom side chambers of the second and third cylinders may vary in synchronism, one increasing while the other decreases.
  • control means comprise an electro-valve mounted in a control line supplied with hydraulic fluid under pressure by a pressure block, the hydraulic fluid contained in the control line having the slide of the two-position distributor in its active position when the solenoid valve is activated.
  • the solenoid valve is activated by actuation of a manual switch installed in the cockpit.
  • control line can be connected to the balancing line via at least one safety valve.
  • control line may advantageously comprise a non-return valve intended to prevent a circulation of fluid under pressure towards the electrovalve and the pressure block.
  • the hydraulic fluid contained in the control line can only flow in the direction from the pressure block to the balancing line when the solenoid valve is in the active position.
  • control line may comprise a first bypass line comprising a first hydraulic manipulator for bringing the distributor slide to three positions in its first active position, and a second bypass line comprising a second hydraulic manipulator for bringing the dispenser spool to three positions in its second active position.
  • the first and second branch lines each comprise a non-return valve intended to prevent a flow of pressurized fluid towards the three-position distributor and the corresponding hydraulic manipulator.
  • the crane that can be seen in the drawings comprises a support 1 whose upper end is provided with a turret 2 carrying a horizontal axis 3 on which an arrow 4 is hinged.
  • the arrow 4 comprises a main arm 5 pivotable on the horizontal axis 3 under the control of a first hydraulic cylinder 6 whose cylinder is articulated on the turret 2 and whose piston rod is articulated on the main arm 5.
  • auxiliary arm 7 and a counterweight 8 pivotally mounted on horizontal axes respectively provided at the ends of the main arm 5.
  • the auxiliary arm 7 is provided at its free end with a conventional not shown gripping tool and can pivot on the main arm under the control of a second hydraulic cylinder 9 whose cylinder is articulated on the main arm and whose rod piston is articulated on the end of the auxiliary arm 7 which does not carry the gripping tool.
  • the counterweight 8 can pivot on the main arm 5 under the control of a third hydraulic cylinder 10 whose cylinder is articulated on the main arm and whose piston rod is articulated on the counterweight, near the main arm.
  • the rod-side chambers of the second and third cylinders 9, 10 are interconnected by a balancing line 11.
  • bottom side chambers of these two cylinders form part of a hydraulic circuit comprising a hydraulic fluid reservoir 12, a pump 13, a three-position distributor 14, a first control line 15, one of whose ends is connected to the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 and whose other end is connected to the reservoir 12, and a second control line 16, one end of which is connected to the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10 and whose another end is connected to the pump 13.
  • the three-position distributor which is mounted on the two control lines 15, 16, comprises a slide 17 which can be brought selectively into an inactive position (visible in the drawings) in which it closes the two control lines, a first position active in which it connects the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 to the pump 13 and the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10 to the tank 12, and a second active position in which it connects the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 to the tank 12 and the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10 at the pump 13.
  • an inactive position visible in the drawings
  • a first position active in which it connects the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 to the pump 13 and the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10 to the tank 12
  • a second active position in which it connects the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 to the tank 12 and the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10 at the pump 13.
  • the boom 4 of the crane which has just been described is balanced regardless of the position of the auxiliary arm 7 relative to the main arm 5.
  • the hydraulic system provided on this crane makes it possible to make the displacement of the counterweight 8 proportional to the displacement of the auxiliary arm 7 so that the boom is automatically balanced regardless of its range.
  • the crane shown in the drawings further comprises a connecting pipe 18 whose ends are connected to the control lines 15 and 16, and a two-position distributor 19 mounted on the connecting pipe 18, this distributor having a slide 20 movable between an inactive position visible on the figure 1 and wherein it prevents the connecting line 18 from connecting the two control lines 15 and 16, and an active position visible on the figures 2 and 3 and wherein it allows the connecting line 18 to connect the two control lines.
  • This crane also comprises control means 21 for bringing the drawer 20 of the distributor to two positions 19 in its active position.
  • the control means 21 comprise an electro-valve 22 mounted in a control line 23 fed with hydraulic fluid under pressure by a pressure block 24.
  • the control line 23 comprises a branch line 25 leading to the two-position distributor 19 and allowing the hydraulic fluid contained therein to bring the slide 20 into its active position when the electrovalve 22 is activated, that is, when fluid from the pressure block 24 can pass through it, as shown in FIGS. figures 2 and 3 .
  • the cab is provided for this purpose with a manual switch not shown that the crane operator must actuate to activate the solenoid valve 22.
  • the control line 23 also comprises a first branch line 26 connected to a first hydraulic manipulator 27 and a second branch line 28 connected to a second hydraulic manipulator 29.
  • the branch lines 26 and 28 are associated with the three-position distributor 14 so that the hydraulic fluid they contain moves the slide 20 into its first and second active positions respectively when the manipulators 27 and 29 are actuated.
  • Each of the branch lines 26 and 28 is provided with a non-return valve 30 for preventing a flow of pressurized fluid towards the three-position distributor 14 and the corresponding hydraulic manipulator.
  • control line 23 is connected to the balancing line 11 via two safety valves 31.
  • valves are respectively located at distances from the second and third cylinders 9, 10 which are approximately equal and open under the pressure of the hydraulic fluid contained in the control line 23 when the solenoid valve 22 is activated.
  • control line 23 comprises a non-return valve 32 mounted so as to prevent a circulation of pressurized fluid towards the electrovalve 22, this valve being located in the part of the pilot line extending between the branch line 25 and the second branch line 28.
  • the bottom side chambers of the second and third cylinders 9, 10 are thus isolated from the reservoir 12 and the pump 13.
  • the only operation to be performed by the crane operator is to operate the manual switch installed in the cockpit.
  • This switch controls the passage of the solenoid valve 22 in its active position represented on the figures 2 and 3 and in which it allows the hydraulic fluid contained in the control line 23 to move the drawer 20 of the two-position distributor 19 into its active position represented on the figures 2 and 3 .
  • the auxiliary arm 7 remains vertical under the weight of the load that it supports.
  • the vertical position of the auxiliary arm 7 is indeed made possible by a transfer of the hydraulic fluid from the bottom side chamber of the second cylinder 9 into the bottom side chamber of the third cylinder 10.
