Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kran, insbesondere einen Teleskopkran, mit einem am Lasthaken angehängten Rahmen zur Aufnahme einer speziellen Last, insbesondere zur Aufnahme eines Rotorblattes einer Windkraftanlage.The invention relates to a crane, in particular a telescopic crane, with a hook attached to the hook frame for receiving a special load, in particular for receiving a rotor blade of a wind turbine.

Bei der Montage von Windkraftanlagen sind die Rotorblätter in großer Höhe anzubringen. Hierzu werden bevorzugt Fahrzeugkrane oder Raupenkrane eingesetzt. Das zu montierende Rotorblatt weist eine große Rotorfläche und folglich eine große Angriffsfläche für den Wind auf. Zur Montage des Rotorblattes an der entsprechenden Windkraftanlage ist eine ausreichend präzise Justierung des aufgenommenen Rotorblatts in der Montagehöhe erforderlich.When installing wind turbines, the rotor blades are to be mounted at high altitude. For this purpose, vehicle cranes or crawler cranes are preferred. The rotor blade to be mounted has a large rotor area and consequently a large wind attack surface. For mounting the rotor blade on the corresponding wind turbine, a sufficiently precise adjustment of the recorded rotor blade in the mounting height is required.

Hierzu ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannt, das Rotorblatt mittels eines Rahmens aufzunehmen. Dieser wird an dem Lasthaken des Hubseils angehängt und nimmt den zu montierenden Rotor in der entsprechenden Aufnahme auf.For this purpose, it is already known from the prior art to receive the rotor blade by means of a frame. This is attached to the load hook of the hoist and takes the rotor to be mounted in the appropriate recording.

In der DE 20 2006 015 189 U1 wird beispielsweise vorgeschlagen, das Rotorblatt über zwei Steuerseile an den beiden Abspannseilen der Y-Abspannung des Hauptauslegers zu befestigen und gegen ein Verdrehen zu sichern. Ein Nachteil der vorgeschlagenen Lösung besteht darin, dass die Abspannseile weit von der Längsachse des Hauptauslegers entfernt verlaufen. Folglich beeinflussen die Kräfte in den horizontal verlaufenden Steuerseilen die Abspannkräfte der Y-Abspannung erheblich und mindern die Traglast des Krans.In the DE 20 2006 015 189 U1 For example, it is proposed to attach the rotor blade via two control cables to the two guy ropes of the Y-bracing of the main boom and to secure against rotation. A disadvantage of the proposed solution is that the guy ropes are far away from the longitudinal axis of the main boom. As a result, the forces in the horizontal control cables significantly affect the bracing forces of the Y brace and reduce the load capacity of the crane.

Weiterhin sind Konstruktionen bekannt, bei denen im Bereich des Auslegerfußes zwei zusätzliche Winden angebracht sind, deren Seile parallel in Richtung des Auslegerkopfes verlaufen. Die Aufnahme für das Rotorblatt ist über zwei Steuerseile mit den aufgespannten Seilen verbunden.Furthermore, constructions are known in which two additional winches are mounted in the region of the boom foot, whose ropes run parallel in the direction of the boom head. The receptacle for the rotor blade is connected via two control cables with the clamped cables.

Nachteilig an dieser bekannten Lösung ist zum einen, dass die Winden und die Seile eine zusätzliche Ausrüstung darstellen, die Gewicht und Kosten mit sich bringt. Darüber hinaus ist es erforderlich, beide Seile unabhängig voneinander zu spannen. Die eingebrachte Spannkraft pro Seil belastet den Ausleger, da sich die resultierende Drucklast wie eine zusätzliche Last auf den Ausleger verhält. Ebenfalls bedingt die Anbringung von zwei unabhängigen Seilen eine zusätzliche Seitenbelastung des Auslegers, falls ein Seil stärker belastet wird.A disadvantage of this known solution, on the one hand, that the winches and ropes represent additional equipment that brings weight and costs. In addition, it is necessary to tension both ropes independently of each other. The applied tension force per rope loads the boom because the resulting compressive load behaves like an additional load on the boom. Also, the attachment of two independent ropes requires an additional side load on the boom if a rope is loaded more heavily.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ausgehend von den vorangehend erläuterten Ausführungen, eine verbesserte Möglichkeit zur Stabilisierung einer aufgenommenen Last aufzuzeigen.The object of the invention is, starting from the previously explained embodiments, to show an improved possibility for stabilizing a recorded load.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Kran mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach umfasst der Kran einen zur Aufnahme einer speziellen Last geeigneten Rahmen, der am Lasthaken des Krans angehängt ist. Der Rahmen ist bevorzugt zur Aufnahme eines Rotorblattes für eine Windkraftanlage geeignet. Der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf die Aufnahme eines Rotorblattes beschränkt. Vielmehr läst sich eine beliebige Last mit Hilfe des Rahmens aufnehmen. Der Einfachheit halber wird der erfindungsgemäße Gegenstand dennoch im Folgenden anhand eines Rahmens zur Aufnahme eines Rotorblattes erläutert.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a crane having the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the crane comprises a frame suitable for receiving a special load, which is attached to the load hook of the crane. The frame is preferably suitable for receiving a rotor blade for a wind turbine. However, the subject of the present invention is not limited to the inclusion of a rotor blade. Rather, any load can be picked up with the help of the frame. For simplicity, the inventive Nevertheless, the subject matter explained below with reference to a frame for receiving a rotor blade.

Erfindungsgemäß ist im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik nur ein einziges Führungsseil ohne Abspannfunktion vorgesehen, das ausgehend vom Auslegerfuß parallel zur Längsachsenrichtung des Auslegersystems gespannt ist und endseitig am Auslegersystem befestigt ist. Die Belastung im Ausleger wird gegenüber dem Stand der Technik halbiert, da nunmehr nur ein einzelnes Führungsseil gespannt wird. Auch wird die Funktion einer gegebenenfalls vorhandenen Abspannung nicht beeinflußt.According to the invention, in comparison to the prior art, only a single guide cable without guying function is provided which, starting from the jib foot, is stretched parallel to the longitudinal axis direction of the jib system and is fastened to the boom system at the end. The load in the boom is halved compared to the prior art, since now only a single guide rope is stretched. Also, the function of an optional bracing is not affected.

Das Auslegersystem des erfindungsgemäßen Krans kann z. B. aus einem Teleskopausleger, einem Spitzenausleger und gegebenenfalls einer Hauptauslegerverlängerung bestehen.The boom system of the crane according to the invention can, for. B. consist of a telescopic boom, a jib and possibly a main boom extension.

Der am Lasthaken angehängte Rahmen zur Aufnahme einer speziellen Last wird über mindestens zwei Steuerseile mit dem Führungsseil verbunden und hierdurch ausreichend stabilisiert.The attached to the load hook frame for receiving a special load is connected via at least two control cables with the guide cable and thereby sufficiently stabilized.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsmöglichkeiten des erfindungsgemäßen Krans sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Unteransprüche.Preferred embodiments of the crane according to the invention are the subject of the dependent subclaims.

Unabhängig vom verwendeten Auslegersystem lässt sich das gespannte Führungsseil endseitig je nach Einsatz in variabler Höhe am Auslegersystem befestigen. Bevorzugt ist eine Befestigung in ausreichender Nähe zum Rollenkopf des Auslegersystems, so dass eine Führung der mindestens zwei verwendeten Steuerseile über die gesamte Hubhöhe gewährleistet ist. Bei geringeren Hubhöhen ist es ausreichend, das Führungsseil endseitig bis zum entsprechenden Bereich am Auslegersystem zu spannen.Regardless of the boom system used, the tensioned guide cable can be attached to the boom system at the end, depending on the application, at a variable height. Preferably, a fastening in sufficient proximity to the roller head of the boom system, so that a guide is ensured at least two control cables used over the entire lifting height. At lower lift heights, it is sufficient to tension the guide cable end to the corresponding area on the boom system.

Die Steuerseile sind zumindest teilweise entlang des Führungsseils geführt. Die Führung erfolgt zweckmäßig mit Hilfe von Führungsrollen oder dergleichen.The control cables are at least partially guided along the guide cable. The guide is expediently with the help of guide rollers or the like.

Die eingebrachte Spannung auf das Führungsseil erfolgt vorteilhafterweise mittels einer Winde, die vorzugsweise im Bereich des Auslegerfußes angeordnet ist. Zweckmäßig befindet sich im Bereich des Auslegerfußes von vornherein eine Energieversorgung und eine Steuerungsanbindung, mit der die Winde an das gesamte Kranbussystem bzw. Kransteuerungssystem gekoppelt ist.The introduced tension on the guide cable is advantageously carried out by means of a winch, which is preferably arranged in the region of the boom foot. Conveniently located in the region of the boom foot from the outset a power supply and a control connection with which the winch is coupled to the entire crane bus system or crane control system.

Vorteilhafterweise wird die Winde in Abhängigkeit einer entsprechenden Kranbewegung synchronisiert von der Kransteuerung angesteuert. Eine Wippbewegung des Spitzenauslegers bzw. ein Teleskopieren des entsprechenden Auslegerteils bedingt ein durch die Kransteuerung gesteuertes Auslassen bzw. Aufwickeln des Führungsseils mit Hilfe der Winde. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, die Winde mit einer maximalen Aufspulkraft zu versehen. Bei Überschreiten des Grenzwertes lässt die Winde automatisch Seil ab.Advantageously, the winch is controlled synchronously by the crane control in response to a corresponding crane movement. A rocking movement of the luffing jib or a telescoping of the corresponding jib part necessitates a crane control-controlled skipping or winding-up of the guide rope with the aid of the winch. In addition, it is possible to provide the winch with a maximum Aufspulkraft. When the limit is exceeded, the winch automatically releases rope.

Alternativ kann die Winde auch mittelbar oder unmittelbar am Anlenkstück und bzw. oder am Oberwagen und bzw. oder an einem Wippzylinder angeordnet sein.Alternatively, the winch can also be arranged indirectly or directly on the articulation piece and / or on the superstructure and / or on a luffing cylinder.

Als zweckmäßig erweist es sich in diesem Zusammenhang, wenn die Winde nahezu auf der Symmetrielinie des Auslegersystems angeordnet ist. Das aufgespannte Führungsseil verläuft folglich auf der gebildeten Symmetrieebene in Richtung der Auslegerspitze bis zum Befestigungspunkt am Auslegersystem. Durch die Anordnung der Winde auf der Symmetrielinie fällt die durch die Steuerseile hervorgerufene Seitenbelastungen des Auslegers im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik erheblich geringer aus. Die einzige Auslegerbelastung resultiert lediglich aus der eingebrachten Drucklast des Führungsseils auf das Auslegersystem. Das Führungsseil verläuft vorteilhaft auf der Symmetrieebene auf der dem Lasthaken zugewandten Auslegerseite.It proves useful in this context, when the winch is located almost on the line of symmetry of the boom system. The clamped guide cable thus runs on the plane of symmetry formed in the direction of the boom tip to the attachment point on the boom system. Due to the arrangement of the winch on the line of symmetry caused by the control cables side loads of the boom in contrast to the prior art is significantly lower. The only cantilever load only results from the applied compressive load of the guide rope on the cantilever system. The guide cable advantageously extends on the plane of symmetry on the boom side facing the load hook.

Vorteilhafterweise verlaufen die Steuerseile ausgehend vom Rahmen zum Führungsseil und werden im Bereich des Verbindungspunkts mit dem Führungsseil durch ein oder mehrere Umlenkrollen umgelenkt.Advantageously, the control cables extend from the frame to the guide cable and are deflected in the region of the connection point with the guide cable by one or more deflection rollers.

Die Verbindung der Steuerseile mit dem Führungsseil erfolgt vorteilhafterweise über eine Verbindungskulisse. Die Verbindungskulisse umfasst eine Doppelrolle, die entweder die Steuerseile direkt aufnimmt oder mittelbar über Umlenkrollen mit den Steuerseilen in Verbindung steht. Die Verbindungskulisse ist über die Doppelrolle auf dem Führungsseil geführt.The connection of the control cables with the guide cable is advantageously carried out via a connecting link. The connecting link comprises a double roller which either directly receives the control cables or is indirectly connected to the control cables via deflection rollers. The connecting link is guided over the double roller on the guide cable.

Von Vorteil ist die Anordnung ein oder mehrerer Umlenkrollen auf dem Rahmen, durch die die einzelnen Steuerseile umgelenkt werden. In diesem Fall kann die Kraft im Seil und dem Seilantrieb auf dem Rahmen reduziert werden.An advantage is the arrangement of one or more pulleys on the frame, through which the individual control cables are deflected. In this case, the force in the rope and the rope drive on the frame can be reduced.

Schließlich können auf dem Rahmen ein oder mehrere Winden angeordnet sein, um die Spannung der Steuerseile zu variieren um so die Lage des Rahmens stabil zu halten.Finally, one or more winches may be arranged on the frame to vary the tension of the control cables so as to keep the position of the frame stable.

Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik kann durch die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Führungsseils nun die Last mit einem sehr guten Winkel, auch bei Verwendung eines langen Spitzenauslegers, ausgerichtet werden. In diesem Zusammenhang sei angemerkt, dass die in der DE 20 2006 015 189 U1 zur Führung der Steuerseile verwendete Hauptauslegerspannung nur hinter dem Hauptausleger und nicht hinter dem Spitzenausleger verläuft. Die Hubhöhe, in der eine Stabilisierung der aufgenommenen Last mit Hilfe der Steuerseile ermöglicht ist, ist demnach auf den Bereich der Hauptauslegerabspannung begrenzt.In contrast to the prior art can now be aligned by the use of the guide cable according to the invention, the load at a very good angle, even when using a long luffing jib. In this context, it should be noted that in the DE 20 2006 015 189 U1 main boom tension used to guide the control ropes runs behind the main boom and not behind the luffing jib. The lifting height, in which a stabilization of the recorded load is made possible by means of the control cables, is therefore limited to the area of the main boom bracing.

Mit Hilfe der dargestellten erfindungsgemäßen technischen Lehre ist es ebenfalls denkbar, bereits bestehende Krane entsprechend nachzurüsten. In diesem Fall kann durch die Anbringung einer Winde im Bereich des Auslegerfußes und der Aufspannung des Führungsseils parallel zur Längsachse des Auslegersystems ein bestehender beliebig ausgeführter Kran nachgerüstet werden.With the aid of the illustrated inventive teaching, it is also conceivable to retrofit existing cranes accordingly. In this case, an existing arbitrarily executed crane can be retrofitted by attaching a winch in the region of the boom foot and the clamping of the guide cable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the boom system.

Der in der Figur 1 gezeigte Fahrzeugkran 1 besitzt in an sich bekannter Art und Weise einen als Lastwagen ausgebildeten Unterwagen 2, auf dem ein um eine aufrechte Achse drehbarer Oberwagen 3 gelagert ist. Der Oberwagen 3 trägt ein um eine liegende Achse wippbares Auslegersystem 14, das einen an den Oberwagen 3 angelenkten Gelenkschuß 4 sowie mehrere daraus austeleskopierbare Teleskopschüsse aufweist. An dem innersten Teleskopschuß des Hauptauslegers 5 ist eine wippbare Gitterspitze 6 angeordnet, die über Gitterstücke verbunden sein können. Der Hauptausleger 5 ist mittels einer Abspannung 7 abgespannt, die als räumliche, an sich bekannte Y-Abspannung ausgebildet ist.The Indian FIG. 1 shown vehicle crane 1 has in a conventional manner designed as a truck undercarriage 2, on which a rotatable about an upright axle superstructure 3 is mounted. The uppercarriage 3 carries a cantilevered about a horizontal axis boom system 14, which has a hinged to the uppercarriage 3 articulated section 4 and several austeleskopierbare telescopic shots. At the innermost telescopic section of the main boom 5 a tiltable lattice tip 6 is arranged, which can be connected via lattice pieces. The main boom 5 is braced by means of a bracing 7, which is designed as a spatial, known Y-bracing.

Ein Hubseil 22 wird über eine Umlenkrolle 9 über die Wippspitze 6 geführt und trägt einen Lasthaken 21. Am Lasthaken 21 ist ein Rahmen 15 angehängt, der zur Aufnahme eines hier nicht näher dargestellten Rotorblattes einer Windkraftanlage dient.A hoist rope 22 is guided over a pulley 9 on the luffing tip 6 and carries a load hook 21. The load hook 21 is a frame 15 attached, which serves to receive a rotor blade not shown here a wind turbine.

Zur Stabilisierung des Rahmens 15, insbesondere während der Montage des Rotorblattes an der Windrotornabe, ist nunmehr nur eine einzige Winde 10 vorgesehen, welche sich nahezu auf der Symmetrielinie des Auslegersystems 14 befindet. Diese ist direkt am Gelenkschuß 4 des Hauptauslegers 5 angebracht und wird durch die vorgesehene Energieversorgung sowie die Steuerungsanbindung an das zentrale Kransystem gekoppelt. Die Steuerung der Winde 10 erfolgt beispielsweise ausgehend von der Kransteuerung über das Bus-System.To stabilize the frame 15, in particular during assembly of the rotor blade on the wind rotor hub, only a single winch 10 is now provided, which is located almost on the line of symmetry of the boom system 14. This is mounted directly on the joint section 4 of the main boom 5 and is coupled by the intended power supply and the control connection to the central crane system. The control of the winch 10 takes place, for example, starting from the crane control via the bus system.

Die Winde 10 kann alternativ (nicht in Figur 1 gezeigt) auch im Bereich des Auslegerfusses, also auf dem Oberwagen, angebracht sein.The winch 10 may alternatively (not in FIG. 1 shown) in the area of the boom foot, so be mounted on the superstructure.

Ausgehend von der Winde 10 verläuft das Führungsseil 13 zum äußeren Bereich des Auslegersystems 14. Das äußere Ende des Seils 13 kann je nach Einsatz flexibel an einer beliebigen Stelle des Auslegersystems 14 befestigt werden. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 ist das Führungsseil 13 an der Wippspitze 6 nahe dem Bereich der Umlenkrolle 9 fest angeordnet.Starting from the winch 10, the guide cable 13 extends to the outer region of the boom system 14. The outer end of the cable 13 can be flexibly attached to any position of the boom system 14 depending on the application. In the illustrated embodiment of the FIG. 1 the guide cable 13 is fixedly arranged on the luffing tip 6 near the region of the deflection roller 9.

Je nach erfolgender Kranbewegung, wie beispielsweise ein Wippen der Wippspitze 6 bzw. ein Austeleskopieren des Hauptauslegers 5 des Auslegersystems 14, wird die Winde 10 von der Steuerung synchron angesteuert. Weiterhin ist für die Winde 10 eine maximale Aufspulkraft definiert. Wird die zulässige Aufspulkraft der Winde überschritten, so gibt die Winde automatisch Seil ab.Depending on the successful crane movement, such as a rocking of the luffing tip 6 or a Austeleskopieren the main boom 5 of the boom system 14, the winch 10 is controlled synchronously by the controller. Furthermore, a maximum winding force is defined for the winch 10. If the permissible winding force of the winch is exceeded, the winch automatically releases rope.

Ausgehend vom Rahmen 15 verlaufen die beiden Steuerseile 16, 17 in Richtung des Führungsseils 13. Zur Verbindung der Steuerseile 16, 17 mit dem Führungsseil 13 dient die Verbindungskulisse 20, welche der Detaildarstellung in Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist. Die Verbindungskulisse 20 weist eine Doppelrolle 25 auf, die entlang des Führungsseils 13 geführt ist. Symmetrisch zur Doppelrolle 25 sind die beiden Umlenkrollen 26, 27 beweglich an der Verbindungskulisse befestigt. Durch die Umlenkrollen 26, 27 werden die Steuerseile 16, 17 umgelenkt und zurück zum Rahmen 15 geführt.Starting from the frame 15, the two control cables 16, 17 extend in the direction of the guide cable 13. To connect the control cables 16, 17 with the guide cable 13 is the connecting link 20, which the detail representation in FIG. 2 can be seen. The connecting link 20 has a double roller 25, which is guided along the guide cable 13. Symmetrical to the double roller 25, the two pulleys 26, 27 are movably attached to the connecting link. By the deflection rollers 26, 27, the control cables 16, 17 are deflected and guided back to the frame 15.

Auf dem Rahmen selbst werden die Steuerseile 16, 17 durch weitere Umlenkrollen umgelenkt und durch einen entsprechenden Windenantrieb gesteuert. Über den Windenantrieb auf dem Rahmen 15 lassen sich die Steuerseile 16, 17 entsprechend ansteuern, um die horizontale Lage des Rahmens 15 in der Hubhöhe zu stabilisieren bzw. nachzujustieren. Die Verwendung der einzelnen Umlenkrollen sorgt für eine Kraftreduzierung im Seil und im Seilantrieb des Rahmens 15.On the frame itself, the control cables 16, 17 are deflected by further deflection rollers and controlled by a corresponding winch drive. About the winch drive on the frame 15, the control cables 16, 17 control accordingly to stabilize or readjust the horizontal position of the frame 15 in the lifting height. The use of the individual pulleys ensures a reduction in force in the rope and the cable drive of the frame 15.

An dieser Stelle sei nochmals ausdrücklich erwähnt, dass die Erfindung nicht auf die Aufnahme eines Rotorblattes beschränkt ist. Über den Rahmen 15 kann eine beliebige in die Aufnahme des Rahmens 15 passende Last aufgenommen werden.At this point, it should be expressly mentioned that the invention is not limited to the inclusion of a rotor blade. About the frame 15 can be accommodated any suitable in the receptacle of the frame 15 load.

Durch die Verwendung eines einzelnen Führungsseils wird der Einfluß durch die Steuerseile 16, 17 auf das Auslegersystem 14 im Vergleich zu bekannten Lösungen aus dem Stand der Technik erheblich reduziert. Weiterhin bringt die symmetrische Anordnung der Winde 10, sowie der Verlauf des Führungsseils 13 entlang der Symmetrieebene des Auslegersystems 14 den entscheidenden Vorteil mit sich, dass die Seitenbelastung auf das Auslegersystem 14 weitestgehend verhindert wird. Die bisherigen bekannten Ausführungen, die auf mehrere Führungsseile bzw. auf die Verwendung der vorhandenen Abspannung setzen, haben den Nachteil, dass die Führungsseile außerhalb der Symmetrieebene seitlich neben dem Auslegersystem 14 verlaufen. Dies hat bei einer ungleichen Krafteinwirkung der Steuerseile auf die entsprechenden Führungsseile eine erhebliche Seitenbelastung des Auslegersystems 14 zur Folge.The use of a single guide cable greatly reduces the influence of the control cables 16, 17 on the boom system 14 as compared to prior art solutions. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the winch 10, as well as the course of the guide cable 13 along the plane of symmetry of the boom system 14 has the decisive advantage that the lateral load on the boom system 14 is largely prevented. The previous known embodiments, which rely on a plurality of guide cables or on the use of existing bracing, have the disadvantage that the guide cables extend laterally outside the boom system 14 outside the plane of symmetry. This has a significant side load of the boom system 14 in an uneven force of the control cables on the corresponding guide cables.
