Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic crane according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a hydraulic crane for instance in the form of a lorry crane or forestry crane, often comprises a column, which is rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation, and a crane boom system, which is mounted to the column and which is intended to carry a load in a load suspension point at an outer end of the crane boom system, wherein the crane boom system comprises two or more liftable and lowerable crane booms which form a connection between the load suspension point and the column and which are articulately connected to each other.
  • liftable and lowerable crane boom refers to a crane boom which can be pivoted in a vertical plane so as to thereby perform liftings and lowerings of a load carried by the crane.
  • hydraulic cylinder for lifting and lowering the crane boom here refers to the hydraulic cylinder which is associated with the liftable and lowerable crane boom and which carries out the pivoting thereof in a vertical plane.
  • the hydraulic crane according to the present invention is a so-called Z-type crane, where inner and outer booms of the crane are foldable into a compact Z-shaped parking position close to the column of the crane when the crane is to be transported or stored.
  • a Z-type crane according to the preamble of claim 1 is previously known from EP 1 475 345 A1 and US 4 183 712 A

  • the outer end of the second hydraulic cylinder 110 is articulately connected to the outer boom 108 by a joint 120.
  • the outer boom 108 of the prior art crane 100 is more vertically directed than the outer boom 8 of the crane 1 according to the present invention at the moment when the moment arm of the force exerted by the second hydraulic cylinder 110 is zero, which in its turn implies that the moment arm between the crane boom joint 109 and the centre of gravity of the outer boom 108 is much shorter in the prior art crane 100 than in the crane 1 according to the invention, at this stage during the movement of the inner and outer booms to the parking position.
  • one of the positive effects of the link system 12 is that it will give the outer boom 8 an increased inclination in relation to the inner boom 6 at the moment when the moment arm of the force exerted by the second and third hydraulic cylinders 10, 11 is zero, which in its turn will facilitate the movement of the outer boom 8 to the parking position.
