Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for wind release of a work machine, which is characterized by at least one rotary part which can be rotated about an essentially vertical axis by means of a rotary mechanism.
  • the present invention also relates to a working machine for carrying out such a method.
  • Work machines are affected, in particular slewing or tower cranes or concrete placing booms, which are designed in such a way that they must have sufficient wind clearance and wind vane stability when not in use in order to avoid overloading the supporting structure.
  • the decommissioning of a working machine is referred to as wind-free or wind-free.
  • the slewing gear brake of the working machine is usually permanently opened mechanically in order to free the rotating part of the working machine, usually the boom in the case of cranes, in the wind to keep rotating. Due to the attacking wind load, the crane jib or the slewing part can rotate independently out of the wind without a technical drive.
  • the boom will ultimately point to the leeward side. In this position, the wind force, which increases with the strength of the wind, tends to tip the mast to the leeward side, but the constant tilting moment of the counterweights acts in the opposite direction, so that sufficient stability of the crane is ensured. With this measure, the crane is always kept in a position with the lowest air resistance and maximum stability and/or minimum structural loading of the construction is achieved.
  • the core of the invention is an active wind release of the working machine.
  • an active control of the slewing gear drive should take place in order to bring the rotating part of the working machine into the optimal position for the wind release.
  • one or more wind data are recorded in advance by means of a measuring system arranged on the working machine.
  • the optimum position of the rotating part is then determined on the basis of the recorded wind data and used to control the slewing gear drive in order to move the rotating part to the optimum position. Consequently, at least one target value is determined for a desired angle of rotation of the slewing gear.
  • the rotating part of the work machine By moving to the optimal position, the rotating part of the work machine should be turned out of the wind and ideally point to the leeward side, so that there is always a position with the lowest air resistance.
  • the working machine is actively monitored and automatically controlled in non-operational mode in order to always ensure maximum stability and/or minimized structural stress on the construction.
  • the method can be run continuously or cyclically to ensure dynamic adjustment of the optimal position depending on changing wind conditions.
  • Additional wind data is recorded for the measurement data determined on the working machine.
  • This supplemental wind data is not sent directly of the working machine, but recorded in the immediate vicinity of the machine, at a point in the immediate vicinity of the machine that is subject to less external interference on a prevailing wind field, so that an almost undisturbed wind field is recorded on the basis of this supplementary wind data.
  • suitable external wind sensors are installed on higher platforms or buildings.
  • the wind data can be recorded on the upper floor of a neighboring building of the working machine.
  • the combination of the wind data recorded directly on the working machine and the supplementary wind data allows improved modeling or calculation of the applied wind load in order to determine an optimal position for the wind release based on this.
  • the measuring system is used to record the wind speed and/or wind direction directly on the working machine, ideally distributed at a number of positions on the working machine.
  • the wind speed and/or wind direction should be recorded at least on the rotatable part of the work machine, for example on the overhead crane in the case of a work machine in the form of a slewing crane.
  • the arrangement of wind sensors on the jib tip and/or on the counter jib and/or on the tower tip is particularly preferred.
  • the additional wind data from the external sensors can also record the wind speed and wind direction of the almost undisturbed wind field.
  • the structural load on the working machine is preferably determined by the measuring system in one or more areas or components of the working machine recorded.
  • a structural load is determined by a measurable stretching and/or compressing deformation of the material structure in the machine part being examined.
  • a measurement of the structural load in the area of the tower base, in particular in the area of the corner posts of a lattice piece installed in the tower base, has proven to be particularly preferred for working machines in the form of slewing cranes or tower cranes. It makes sense to install sensors on each of the corner posts in order to be able to determine the load on each corner post.
  • the measurable structural load in the area of the tower base, especially the corner posts is a good indicator of the effective overturning moment of the crane.
  • the structural load is preferably measured using one or more strain gauges, which preferably detect expanding and/or compressing deformations in the longitudinal direction of the tower.
  • any safety requirements of the control system of the working machine are taken into account when controlling and/or regulating the slewing gear for active wind release, for example specifications regarding the maximum rotational speed, acceleration, are observed.
  • the present invention relates to a work machine, in particular a tower crane or a concrete placing boom, with at least one rotary part which can be rotated about a vertical axis by means of a rotary mechanism.
  • the working machine comprises at least one measuring system that determines corresponding wind data on the machine and forwards it to a machine controller, the machine controller being designed in such a way that it executes the method according to the present invention.
  • the advantages and properties of the work machine obviously correspond to those of the method according to the invention, which is why a repeated description is dispensed with.
  • FIG 1 shows a known top-slewing tower crane.
  • the tower crane includes a crane tower 10 which is firmly anchored to the crane foundation 15 .
  • a slewing gear 20 is located at the upper end of the crane tower 10 , which accommodates the boom 30 and allows the boom 30 to rotate about a vertical axis of rotation 40 relative to the crane tower 10 .
  • the jib 30 and the counter jib 31 are braced via the guying 32 on the crane tip 11 .
  • the tower crane has been expanded to include a measuring device whose wind sensors are mounted distributed on the crane structure.
  • suitable wind sensors are in the form of the sensor W1 on the top of the tower 11 or in the area of the guying 32, the wind sensor W2 on the jib tip of the jib 30 and the wind sensor W3 distributed in the immediate vicinity of the counter-ballast 33 on the counter-jib 31 on the rotating part of the crane structure.
  • All wind sensors W1, W2 and W3 continuously record the wind speed and wind direction and forward their measured values to the crane control.
  • At least one strain gauge 50 is attached to each corner post of the installed lattice piece of the tower base in order to record the structural loading of the tower base due to the expanding or compressing deformation of the corner posts.
  • the measurable deformations are an indication of the overturning moment acting on the crane.
  • an external wind sensor W4 is mounted on the roof of the neighboring building 100, which also records the wind speed and wind direction in the area of the top floor of the building 100. Since the wind sensor W4 is located significantly higher than the crane structure, an undisturbed wind field can be assumed in this area.
  • the measurement data collected from the sensors W1, W2, W3, the strain gauges 50 in combination with the additional wind data from the external sensor W4 are evaluated within the crane controller and used to determine an optimal position of the boom 30, 31 for the wind release of the crane. Since the wind data is continuously determined, the optimum position of the upper crane is dynamically adjusted to the variable wind field within the crane control system. Taking into account the calculated target position, the slewing gear is actuated in a regulated manner by the crane controller in order to move the boom system 30, 31 to the desired position and hold it.
  • figure 2 shows an alternative slewing crane. Identical components to the embodiment of figure 1 are provided with identical reference symbols. In the following, therefore, only the structural differences will be discussed.
  • the slewing crane shown comprises an upper crane which can be rotated about the axis 40 by means of the slewing gear 20 and which provides a crane boom 300 arranged in a luffing manner on the crane tower 10 and the counter-ballast 320 .
  • the luffing movement of the jib 300 is achieved via the luffing cable 330 .
  • the wind sensors W1, W2 are arranged in the area of the luffing cable 330 in the vicinity of the counter-ballast 320 (W1) and in the area of the boom tip 310 (W2).
