Definitions

  • the invention lies in the field of lifting, more particularly in the gripping systems used by lifting beams.
  • the lifting beams are intended to carry bulky and heavy loads. They must ensure the safety of the load and the operators. However, current safeguards are generally active, that is to say they require the active participation of an operator and this security is therefore subject to a risk of human error.
  • EP0857685A2 , US6322120B1 , US5979961A , DE2054032A1 and JPS5412964A disclose spreaders comprising gripping systems with two arms.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a lifting beam suitable for solving all or part of the problems mentioned above, in particular to ensure maximum passive safety.
  • a lifter according to the invention is defined in claim 1.
  • Optional characteristics are defined in claims 2 to 12.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a first lifter 10 not in accordance with the invention.
  • the lifter 10 is substantially symmetrical with respect to a vertical longitudinal plane P10; it is also symmetrical relatively to a transverse vertical plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of symmetry P10.
  • the spreader 10 comprises a lower beam 11 and an upper beam 12.
  • the beams 11, 12 are box beams; they extend longitudinally substantially over the entire length of the lifter, one 12 above the other 11; they are substantially parallel to each other.
  • Each end 13 of the lower beam 11 carries a transverse beam 14 comprising two cheeks 15 in the form of plates, longitudinally separated from each other by an interval 16.
  • a gripping system 17 is articulated in rotation around a longitudinal axis X17, at each end 18 of the joist 14.
  • the lifter 10 is handled by lifting means shown schematically in the figures by an arrow V; these lifting means can be a crane or a traveling crane, they are fixed to the upper beam 12 by a hook and / or lifting slings.
  • the gripping system 17 comprises a proximal part, relative to the longitudinal plane of symmetry P10, forming a counterweight 21, and a distal part forming a hook 22.
  • the lifter 10 is used for lifting a tank 23.
  • the tank 23 is equipped with vertical reinforcing plates 24 in which openings 25 are formed.
  • Each hook 22 is provided to engage with a respective opening 25.
  • the upper beam 12 comprises an eyelet 26 extending transversely substantially above each counterweight 21.
  • a respective sling 27 is fixed by a first end to the counterweight 21 and by a second end to the eyelet 26.
  • the lifter 10 further comprises means 30 for bringing the upper beam 12 and the lower beam 11 into reciprocal engagement. It also comprises, in the vicinity of each of its ends, a guide 29, designed to ensure vertical guidance of one of the ends. beams 11, 12 relative to the other 12, 11.
  • the gripping means 30 comprise a so-called “quarter-turn” device 31 extending downward from the upper beam 12 and intended to come in. taken with an oblong window 32 formed in an upper flange 33 of the lower beam 11.
  • the quarter-turn device 31 comprises in particular a slide 34, a lower dentition 35 and an upper dentition 36.
  • Each dentition 35, 36 is formed on the edge of a respective hollow cylinder 37, 38; the cylinders are arranged coaxially so that the dentitions face each other.
  • Each tooth 39 comprises, according to an identical direction of rotation for the two dentitions, a vertical front 41 then a slope 43 framing a point 42.
  • the dentitions are arranged so that the point of a tooth 39 of one of the dentitions is opposite the slope of one tooth from the other dentition.
  • the cylinders bearing the teeth are mounted crimped in a cylindrical sleeve 40 and together with this sleeve form a fixed part, relative to the upper beam 12, of the quarter-turn device.
  • the slide 34 is designed to slide axially in the cylinders 37, 38 carrying the teeth 35, 36. Its lower end is formed by a gib 51, of oblong shape, provided to cooperate with the oblong window 32 of the lower beam 11. Au beyond the gib 51, from bottom to top, the slide comprises a cylindrical pin 52, a disc-shaped stop 53, then a cylindrical rod 54 slidably mounted in the cylinders carrying the teeth. The slide further comprises a key 55 which extends radially from the rod 54. The slide thus forms a movable axis capable of moving up and down in the fixed part 37, 38, 40.
  • the diameter D52 of the pin 52 is such that the pin can slide in the window 32 of the lower beam 11.
  • the diameter D53 of the stopper 53 is greater than the width L32 of the window 32 of the lower beam 11, so that the slider 34 cannot penetrate the beam beyond the pin 52.
  • the figure 10 illustrates the operation of the quarter-turn device 31, assuming that the quarter-turn device 31 is in a so-called locked position illustrated in figure 8 .
  • the gib 51 is in a transverse position inside the lower beam 11; thus, the upper beam 12, which carries the quarter-turn device 31, is engaged with the lower beam 11.
  • the key 55 is in a position 55A, between two teeth of the upper dentition 36.
  • the slings 27 are relaxed; the gripping system is in the open position; it remains there as long as the beams 11, 12 remain in mutual engagement thanks to the quarter-turn device.
  • the lifting means V then lowering the upper beam 12, the fixed part 37, 38, 40 moves downward with the upper beam 12 while the disc 53 bears against the lower beam 11, until the The key takes a position 55D in contact with the upper dentition 36, at the bottom of the slope 43 which is opposite the position 55C.
  • a successive ascent and descent of the upper beam 12 allows the slide 34 to be made a quarter turn, so that the gib is in a longitudinal position; a new lifting of the upper beam 12 makes it possible to release the gib from the lower beam 11.
  • the lifter 10 can then take an unlocked position, illustrated in figure 4 , in which the slings 27 are tensioned, causing the counterweights 21 upwards and the engagement of the hooks 22 in the openings 25 provided for this purpose in the load 23.
  • each end of the transverse beams 14 comprises a ring 59 for hanging a rope or a pole therein, in order to ensure the horizontal positioning of the lifter 10.
  • the figure 2 illustrates a lifter 60 which differs from lifter 10 primarily because its gripping systems 61 are cam systems and not slings. Gripping systems and their operation are illustrated in detail in figures 5 to 6 .
  • the figure 5 illustrates one of the gripping systems 61 in the open position; the figure 6 illustrates the same system in the closed position.
  • the gripping system comprises in particular two arms 62 and a slide 63 and a guide 64.
  • the two arms 62 are arranged symmetrically with respect to one another with respect to the longitudinal plane P60 of symmetry of the lifter 60.
  • This plane P60 is the equivalent of plane P10 of the lifting beam 10.
  • the guide is rigidly fixed to the upper beam 12; It comprises two rails 64 which are symmetrical to each other with respect to the longitudinal plane P60 of symmetry of the lifter 60. As particularly illustrated in figure 7 , each rail 64 comprises, from top to bottom, a first area 641, substantially vertical, a second area 642 gradually moving away from the plane P60, and a third area 643 substantially vertical.
  • the slide 63 is designed to slide vertically relative to the upper beam 12.
  • the slide In the lower part, the slide is rigidly fixed to the lower beam 11, so that it slides downwards relative to the upper beam 12 when the lower beam 11 s 'moves away from the upper beam 12, and, slides upward relative to the upper beam 12 when the lower beam 11 approaches it.
  • Each arm 62 comprises a first end 621 intended to travel while being guided therein the respective rail 64.
  • the rail 64 has the form of a window and the first end 621 comprises a roller mounted to roll along the edges of this window.
  • a second end 622 of the arm 62 includes a hook shape, adapted to engage a load to be lifted and moved.
  • An intermediate point 623 of the arm is articulated with the slide 63, around a horizontal axis X623. The slide 63 imposes a fixed distance D623 between this intermediate point 623 and the intermediate point 623 of the other arm 62.
  • the first end 621 is in the first zone 641 of the rail 64, so that this first end 621 is close to the first end 621 of the other arm 62.
  • the first ends 621 of the arms first pass through the first zone 641 which corresponds to a first vertical stroke C1. They then traverse the second zone 642, traversing a second vertical opening stroke C2.
  • the two first ends 621 gradually move away from each other; this distance causes the arms to rotate around their respective intermediate point 623, and, consequently, the second ends 622 move closer together.
  • the hooks are at a reduced distance D622 from each other, and the gripping system is in the position closed illustrated in figure 6 .
  • the third race C3 constitutes a safety race; that is to say that if the load or the lifting beam undergo an impact which would tend to bring the two beams 11, 12 closer together, the gripping system remains in the closed position as long as the first ends remain in the third zones 643.
  • this guiding system by cam is also the fact that it provides a securing of the elements of the gripping system as well as a significant reduction in the frictional stresses which are therefore negligible. This results in complete and secure automation of the gripping system.
  • the hooks in a closed position, provision can be made for the hooks to be further apart from one another than in the open position, the hooks being provided facing away from each other.
