Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary device and a method for rotating an article suspended on a suspension, in particular a load suspended from a crane.
- the rotating device is equipped with a motor for rotating the suspended object, the electrical energy for operating the motor being stored in the rotating device itself, preferably in accumulators, thereby providing an easy-to-use rotating device.
- Loads suspended on a rope change their orientation due to minute disturbances, e.g. by air movements, twisting of the rope, contact with other objects or momentum exchange inside the load. Especially during weaning or picking up, an unpredictably rotating load can cause considerable damage. To avoid this in the operation of cranes, more ropes are often attached to the load on which people must pull by using their physical strength to orient the load. This tedious and dangerous step is not only costly, but also error prone. The time required for this is also hardly reducible, since human factors such as height and communication are decisive for this.
- a flywheel used for the orientation of crane loads according to the principle of angular momentum conservation was already proposed by L. Lawton in 1963 (see, for example, US 3,210,114), in which the rotational energy is supplied by cable from the crane
- the flywheel is designed as a disc-shaped solid Drive motor is housed in a frame which is attached to the load.
- the invention generally relates to a device and a method for orienting rotatable, in particular hanging on a rope crane loads by means of the conservation law for the angular momentum.

- the invention is advantageous in that therefore preferably one, two or all of the three problems mentioned above, namely (i) power cables; (ii) increase in the burden and (iii) lack of controllability can be overcome.
- the first problem is solved; no external power cables are needed.
- the use of heavy accumulators can aggravate the second problem as the accumulator mass further reduces the carrying capacity of the crane.
- the accumulators are preferably placed on the outer edge of the flywheel to provide with their mass preferably the largest possible contribution to the moment of inertia of the flywheel.
- the motor housing or a flange of the motor housing is advantageously also attached to the flywheel.
- a part of the motor for example the motor housing and / or a flange of the motor housing is fixedly connected to the flywheel, that the motor housing and / or the flange form part of the flywheel.
- parts of the engine preferably high-mass parts of the engine, contribute to the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.
- only the motor shaft is in firm or rotationally fixed connection with the load and has no contribution to the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.
- the inventive arrangement of accumulators and motor creates an active flywheel, which can be configured so that the stored energy for a desired by the operator of the device number .Lastorienttechniken sufficient.
- the skilled person will quickly realize that the spin of the flywheel Energy required when decelerating to a great extent as braking energy accumulates. If the motor is operated as a generator, this energy can be partially converted back into electrical energy and optionally stored.
- the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel should be as large as possible relative to that of the load, but the mass of the flywheel should be as small as possible with respect to the load.
- mechanical friction, wind and shocks change the total angular momentum of load and flywheel.
- the rotation of the flywheel itself causes torques due to air friction.
- the moment of inertia of a load is often not experienced by the crane operator, e.g. when containers are handled with changing loads.
- an operating element is provided for operating the load rotary gyroscope, wherein the operating element is preferably realized in such a way that a rotational rate for the load can be predetermined.
- the control element for controlling the load rotary gyroscope includes a rotation rate controller, which controls the torque of the load rotary gyro drive so that the deviation between the rotation rate specification of the crane operator and the absolute rotation rate of the load is minimal.
- the rate of rotation default preferably covers a range of values from negative to positive, where the rate of rotation equals zero to a load that does not rotate relative to its environment.
- the controller preferably monitors at least one of the following components or states and initiates - if necessary - securing or extending the operating time measures: 1. integrity of the energy storage, the motor, the controller, the electronics , the software, the Control element and the data connection; 2. Mechanical integrity and residual imbalance of the load rotary gyroscope.
- unbalance is present when the mechanical axis of rotation of the load rotary gyroscope does not pass through the center of gravity and not through one of the main axes of inertia of the flywheel.
- Imbalances arise in particular when parts of the flywheel mass are changed in their position. These can be internal displacements, e.g. Kabein, or changes in shape due to external influences.
- the occurrence of impermissible imbalances is not visible to the observer from the outside, but leads to mechanical stresses that can endanger the integrity of the flywheel. To avoid the dangers caused by imbalances, they should preferably be continuously measured and preferably monitored.
- Additional, motor-driven masses within the load rotary gyroscope can also make it possible to reduce imbalances.
- a corresponding controller in the control panel can be provided, whereupon the position of the additional masses is changed with knowledge of the flywheel speed, the motor rotation angle and the height of the measured imbalance, so that the residual imbalance is minimal.
