Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Baumaschine, vorzugsweise einen Kran, mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung, sowie einen Ausleger für eine derartige Baumaschine.The present invention relates to a construction machine, preferably a crane, with a safety device, and a boom for such a construction machine.

Kräne weisen oftmals große Ausleger auf. Weiter ist es häufig erforderlich, den Ausleger des Krans zu begehen, etwa um den Ausleger zu kontrollieren oder etwaige technische Probleme von Hand zu beheben. Hierzu können auf dem Ausleger Trittroste vorgesehen sein, die eine Begehung des Kranes ermöglichen.Cranes often have large arms. Further, it is often necessary to commit the boom of the crane, such as to control the boom or to solve any technical problems by hand. For this purpose, gratings may be provided on the boom, which allow a visit of the crane.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist es wichtig, bei der Begehung des Auslegers eine Sicherungsmöglichkeit gegen einen Absturz vom Kranausleger zu schaffen.For safety reasons, it is important to provide a safeguard against a crash from the crane boom during the commissioning of the boom.

Aus der DE 10 2009 018 689 A1 ist bereits ein Auslegerelement für ein Hebezeug wie einen Kran bekannt. Dabei sind an dem Auslegerelement zwei ausklappbare Stützstreben vorgesehen, die im ausgeklappten Zustand ein Sicherungsseil aufspannen, an das ein Benutzer einen Sicherungsgurt zur Absturzsicherung einhängen kann.From the DE 10 2009 018 689 A1 is already known a boom element for a hoist such as a crane. In this case, two extendable support struts are provided on the boom element, which span a safety rope in the unfolded state, to which a user can attach a safety belt for fall protection.

Wünschenswert wäre es jedoch, dass bei mehreren aneinander gekoppelten Auslegerelementen ein Umhängen des Sicherungsgurts nicht notwendig ist, denn das Umhängen erfordert zumindest eine freie Hand und schränkt daher die Arbeitsmöglichkeiten des Arbeiters oder Kranführers ein. Des Weiteren ist der Benutzer bei einem derartigen Sicherungssystem für einen Moment ungesichert, außer er verwendet einen zweiten Sicherungsgurt. Dies ist aber umständlich. Ferner ist unvorteilhaft, dass der Gurt durchhängen kann, so dass bei einem Absturz der Fall nicht unmittelbar gestoppt wird, sondern erst in dem Moment, in dem der Sicherungsgurt durch den Fall gestrafft wird.It would be desirable, however, that in several coupled together boom elements, a wrapping of the safety belt is not necessary, because the hanging requires at least a free hand and therefore limits the Work opportunities of the worker or crane operator. Furthermore, in such a security system, the user is unsecured for a moment unless he uses a second security belt. This is awkward. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the belt can sag, so that in a crash, the case is not stopped immediately, but only at the moment in which the safety belt is tightened by the case.

Aus der US 6 520 290 B1 ist bereits eine Sicherungsvorrichtung mit einer Gleitführungsschiene bekannt, entlang der ein mit einem an dem zu sichernden Arbeiter verbundenes Ankerelement verschiebbar ist.From the US Pat. No. 6,520,290 B1 A safety device with a sliding guide rail is already known, along which an armature element connected to a worker to be secured is displaceable.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindungist es, eine Baumaschine mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art in vorteilhafter Weise weiterzubilden, insbesondere dahingehend, dass diese einfach und sicher aufgebaut ist und eine Sicherung zu jedem Zeitpunkt ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to develop a construction machine with a safety device of the type mentioned in an advantageous manner, in particular to the effect that it is simple and safe and allows a backup at any time.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Baumaschine mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen das Anspruchs 1. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass eine Sicherungsvorrichtung, insbesondere zur Absturzsicherung von Personen bei Begehung eines Kranauslegers, mit wenigstens einem mittelbar und/oder unmittelbar trittebenenseitig angeordneten Gleitführungsmittel und mit wenigstens einem Führungsmittel versehen ist, das gleitend in dem und/oder durch das Gleitführungsmittel verschieblich führbar oder geführt ist, wobei an dem Führungsmittel ein Anhängemittel befestigbar oder befestigt ist, mittels dessen wenigstens eine Schutzausrüstung anhängbar oder angehängt ist.This object is achieved by a construction machine with a safety device with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is provided that a safety device, in particular for fall protection of persons on commission of a crane jib, with at least one indirectly and / or directly trittebenenseitig arranged Gleitführungsmittel and at least a guide means is provided, which is slidably guided or guided slidably in and / or by the sliding guide means, wherein on the guide means a coupling means is fastened or fixed, by means of which at least one protective equipment is attached or attached.

Die Trittebene ist insbesondere die Ebene, auf der im aufgebauten Zustand der Vorrichtung ein Nutzer entlanglaufen kann. Dies ist beispielsweise bei einem Kranausleger im aufgebauten Zustand die Oberseite des Kranauslegers, auf der der Benutzer auf dem Kranausleger entlanglaufen kann.The tread plane is in particular the plane on which a user can run along in the built-up state of the device. In the case of a crane boom, for example, this is the top side of the crane jib on which the user can run along on the crane jib.

Durch die trittebenenseitige Anordnung ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine sehr geringe Beeinträchtigung der Bewegungsfreiheit des Benutzers mit sich bringt. Der Benutzer kann sich nahezu uneingeschränkt bewegen und ist zugleich ununterbrochen gesichert. Über die gesamte Länge des Gleitführungsmittels ist eine Sicherung möglich, ohne dass es eines Umhängens z. B. von einem Sicherungssystem zum nächsten oder einer erneuten Sicherung bedarf.Due to the trittebenenseitige arrangement, there is the advantage that the security device brings a very small impairment of the freedom of movement of the user with it. The user can move almost unrestricted and is at the same time continuously secured. Over the entire length of the Gleitführungsmittels a fuse is possible without it being a Umhänges z. B. from one security system to the next or a renewed backup needs.

Es ist beispielsweise problemlos möglich, das Gleitführungsmittel im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge eines Kranauslegers zu erstrecken, so dass der gesamte Kranausleger mit einem einmaligen Sicherungsvorgang begangen werden kann. Dieser Sicherungsvorgang wird vorzugsweise mit Beginn des Begehens des Auslegers durch Einhängen der Schutzausrüstung vorgenommen. Wenn der Ausleger aus mehreren Auslegerelementen besteht, können die Stoßstellen beispielsweise zwischen den Auslegerelementen nunmehr ohne Handgriffe überbrückt werden.For example, it is easily possible to extend the sliding guide means substantially over the entire length of a crane boom, so that the entire crane boom can be committed with a one-time securing operation. This securing operation is preferably carried out at the beginning of walking on the boom by attaching the protective equipment. If the boom consists of several boom elements, the joints can now be bridged between the boom elements, for example, without handles.

Die Schutzausrüstung kann beispielsweise als eng anliegendes Sicherungskorsett oder als Sicherungsweste ausgeführt sein. Die Schutzausrüstung ist dabei vorzugsweise derart ausgelegt, das Gewicht des Benutzers im Absturzfall zu tragen. Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang denkbar, Stellen mit großer Belastung im Absturzfall zu polstern, um die Verletzungsgefahr für den Benutzer zu verringern.The protective equipment can be designed for example as a tight-fitting safety corset or as a safety vest. The protective equipment is preferably designed to carry the weight of the user in the event of a fall. It is conceivable in this context to cushion points with great load in the event of a fall in order to reduce the risk of injury to the user.

Darüber hinaus kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Anhängemittel wenigstens ein Straffungsmittel aufweist, mittels dessen die Schutzausrüstung gestrafft anhängbar ist, und/oder dass das Anhängemittel wenigstens ein Sicherungsgurtmittel aufweist, das vorzugsweise längenverstellbar ist. Durch das Straffungsmittel ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass das Sicherungsgurtmittel jederzeit auf die Körpergröße und/oder Körperhaltung des Benutzers eingestellt ist. Ein derartiges Straffungsmittel kann beispielsweise vergleichbar einem Gurtstraffer in einem Kraftfahrzeug ausgeführt sein. Hierdurch kann vorteilhaft ein Durchhängen z. B. eines Sicherungsgurtes vermieden werden. Der Sicherungsgurt kann somit in einem Absturzfall sofort eingreifen. Die Gefahr eines sogenannten Schlappseils ist nicht gegeben, statt dessen wird die Absturzhöhe immer so klein wie möglich gehalten. Darüber hinaus wird durch das Straffungsmittel erreicht, dass der Benutzer in jeder Arbeitsposition optimal gegen den Absturz gesichert ist, da jegliche Veränderung der Körperhaltung oder Bewegung durch das Straffungsmittel mitvollzogen und eine Straffung insbesondere des Sicherungsgurtes gewährleistet wird. Die bei einem Absturz auftretenden Kräfte werden somit so gering wie möglich gehalten, so dass die Verletzungsgefahr für den Benutzer weiter verringert werden kann.In addition, it can be provided that the attachment means comprises at least one tightening means by means of which the protective equipment can be attached in a taut manner, and / or that the attachment means has at least one securing belt means, which is preferably adjustable in length. By virtue of the tightening agent, there is the advantage that the securing belt means is always adjusted to the height and / or posture of the user. Such a tightening agent can be performed, for example, comparable to a belt tensioner in a motor vehicle. This can advantageously be a sagging z. B. a safety belt can be avoided. The safety belt can thus immediately in a crash intervention. The danger of a so-called slack rope is not given, instead the fall height is always kept as small as possible. In addition, it is achieved by the tightening means that the user is optimally secured in every working position against the crash, since any change in posture or movement by the tightening agent mitvollzogen and tightening particular of the safety belt is ensured. The forces occurring during a fall are thus kept as low as possible, so that the risk of injury to the user can be further reduced.

Ferner ist möglich, dass das Gleitführungsmittel ein Schienenmittel ist und/oder umfasst und/oder dass zwei parallele Führungsmittel vorgesehen sind, wobei das Anhängemittel an beiden Führungsmitteln angeordnet ist. Das Schienenmittel kann beispielsweise eine Schiene sein. Vorzugsweise kann das Schienenmittel aus Leichtbaumaterial ausgeführt sein, insbesondere kann es sich um Aluminiumprofile oder Aluminiumschienen handeln. Hierdurch ergibt sich z. B. der Vorteil, dass der Kranausleger nur mit einem vergleichweise sehr geringen Zusatzgewicht belastet wird.It is also possible that the sliding guide means is a rail means and / or comprises and / or that two parallel guide means are provided, wherein the coupling means is arranged on both guide means. The rail means may for example be a rail. Preferably, the rail means may be made of lightweight material, in particular may be aluminum profiles or aluminum rails. This results z. B. the advantage that the crane boom is loaded only with a comparatively very small additional weight.

Vorteilhafterweise ist denkbar, dass die Sicherungsvorrichtung ein Trittmittel umfasst, wobei zu beiden Längsseiten des Trittmittels jeweils wenigstens ein Führungsmittel angeordnet ist. Das Trittmittel kann beispielsweise ein trittebenenseitig angeordneter Trittrost sein.Advantageously, it is conceivable that the securing device comprises a stepping means, wherein in each case at least one guide means is arranged on both longitudinal sides of the tread means. The tread means may be, for example, a step tread arranged on the tread side.

Es ist möglich, dass das Sicherungsgurtmittel mit zwei Anlenkpunkten an dem wenigstens einen Führungsmittel und mit einem Anlenkpunkt an der Schutzausrüstung oder einem Element der Schutzausrüstung angeordnet ist, so dass das Sicherungsgurtmittel sich vorzugsweise zwischen den wenigstens drei Anlenkpunkten dreieckförmig oder Y-förmig aufspannt oder aufspannbar ist.It is possible for the securing belt means to be arranged with two articulation points on the at least one guiding means and with a point of articulation on the protective equipment or an element of the protective equipment, so that the securing belt means is preferably stretched or tensioned between the at least three articulation points in a triangular or Y-shaped manner ,

Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Schutzausrüstung einen Wirbel aufweist, mittels dessen ein Laufrichtungswechsel durchführbar ist, insbesondere ohne Umhängen der Schutzausrüstung und wobei vorzugsweise der Wirbel zumindest Teil des Anlenkpunktes für das Sicherungsgurtmittel ist. Der Wirbel ermöglicht vorteilhafterweise eine freie Wahl der Laufrichtung, da sich der Benutzer ohne seine Schutzausrüstung z. B. von einem ersten zu einem zweiten Sicherungssystem umhängen zu müssen, drehen kann. Der Wirbel kann sich vorteilhafterweise relativ zur Schutzausrüstung drehen.Furthermore, it can be provided that the protective equipment comprises a vortex, by means of which a direction change is feasible, in particular without putting on the protective equipment and preferably the vortex is at least part of the articulation point for the securing belt means. The vortex advantageously allows a free choice of direction, because the user without his protective gear z. B. from a first to a second security system must be able to rotate. The vortex may advantageously rotate relative to the protective equipment.

Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung einen Ausleger für einen Kran mit den Merkmalen des Anspruch 8. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass ein Ausleger für einen Kran mit wenigstens einer Sicherungsvorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche versehen ist. Dadurch kann vorteilhafterweise ein sicher begehbarer Ausleger für einen Kran geschaffen werden, der nutzerfreundlich eine Sicherung gegen Abstürze bietet.Moreover, the present invention relates to a boom for a crane with the features of claim 8. Thereafter, it is provided that a boom for a crane is provided with at least one securing device according to one of the preceding claims. As a result, it is advantageously possible to create a safely accessible boom for a crane, which offers user-friendly protection against crashes.

Von Vorteil ist, dass das Sicherungssystem ohne weiteres auf einem Ausleger nachgerüstet werden kann.The advantage is that the security system can be easily retrofitted on a boom.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Ausleger wenigstens ein Auslegerendelement und wenigstens ein Auslegermittelelement aufweist, die jeweils wenigstens ein Schienenmittel aufweisen, wobei im zusammengesetzten Zustand von Auslegerendelement und Auslegermittelelement die Schienenmittel zu einer gemeinsamen Führungsschiene für das wenigstens eine Führungsmittel verbunden sind und wobei vorzugsweise das Auslegerendelement ein Schienenendmittel aufweist, mittels dessen ein Verlassen des Schienenmittels durch das Führungsmittel verhinderbar ist.It can be provided that the boom has at least one boom end element and at least one boom center element, each having at least one rail means, wherein in the assembled state of boom end element and boom center element, the rail means are connected to a common guide rail for the at least one guide means and preferably wherein the boom end element a rail end means, by means of which a leaving of the rail means by the guide means can be prevented.

Mit zusätzlichen Endanschlägen an dem Gleitführungsmittel ist es möglich, sich auf jedem einzelnen Auslegerteil gesichert zu bewegen.With additional end stops on the sliding guide means, it is possible to securely move on each individual boom part.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung sollen nun nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden.Further details and advantages of the invention will now be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

The safety belt 130 has a belt tensioner 140, which is respectively disposed at the ends of the safety belt 130, which are attached to the mounting bracket 125, so that the safety belt 130 can always be kept taut.

Durch die Gurtstraffer 140 wird der Sicherungsgurt 130 automatisch auf die jeweilige Körpergröße bzw. auch Körperhaltung des Benutzers eingestellt. Dadurch wird vorteilhafterweise die Gefahr eines sogenannten Schlappseils, also eines ungespannt herunterhängenden bzw. durchhängenden Sicherungsseils oder Sicherungsgurtes, verhindert, was im Falle eines Absturzes zur Folge hätte, dass die Fallhöhe zumindest insoweit vergrößert wäre, bis das Sicherungsseil oder der Sicherungsgurt gestrafft ist.By the belt tensioner 140, the safety belt 130 is automatically adjusted to the respective body size or posture of the user. This advantageously prevents the risk of a so-called slack rope, that is to say an untensioned or sagging safety rope or safety belt, which in the event of a fall would result in the fall height being increased at least to the extent that the safety rope or safety belt is tightened.

Der Sicherungsgurt 130 wird im in Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel direkt an der Sicherungsausrüstung 200 des Benutzers 20 angelenkt. Hierzu weist die Sicherungsausrüstung 200 einen Wirbel 210 auf, der eine freie Wahl der Laufrichtung auf dem Trittmittel 30 ermöglicht. Der Wirbel 210 kann sich in einem Lager relativ gegenüber der Sicherungsausrüstung 200 verdrehen, so dass ein Umhängen bei einem Wechsel der Laufrichtung nicht erforderlich ist.The safety belt 130 is used in FIG. 2 embodiment shown hinged directly to the backup equipment 200 of the user 20. For this purpose, the security equipment 200 on a vortex 210, which allows a free choice of the direction on the tread means 30. The vortex 210 may rotate in a bearing relative to the backup equipment 200, so that it is not necessary to hang it when changing the direction of travel.

Es bildet sich somit ein im Hinblick auf den Kraftfluss im Sicherungsgurt 130 vorteilhaftes Sicherungsgurtdreieck zwischen den drei Anlenkpunkten des Sicherungsgurtes 130 am rechten und linken Gleiter 120 sowie dem Wirbel 210 aus.Thus, a securing belt triangle which is advantageous with regard to the force flow in the securing belt 130 is formed between the three articulation points of the securing belt 130 on the right and left slider 120 and the vertebra 210.

Die Sicherungsausrüstung 200 ist vorzugsweise als eng anliegendes Sicherungskorsett 200 oder als Sicherungsweste 200 ausgeführt, die jedenfalls darauf ausgelegt ist, das Gewicht des Benutzers 20 im Absturzfall zu tragen.The backup equipment 200 is preferably implemented as a close-fitting safety corset 200 or as a safety vest 200, which in any case is designed to support the weight of the user 20 in the event of a fall.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Unterseite von Schiene 110 und Gleiter 120.
