  • a wind vane of the boom For safety reasons, and particularly in case of strong winds, it is recommended, or even mandatory, to carry out a wind vane of the boom, by disengaging the boom (in other words by unlocking the orientation brakes) so that it is free to rotate to automatically move in the direction of the wind and thus allow to leave the crane without human supervision.
  • the wind vane is made with the boom in a raised safety configuration corresponding to a fairly precise configuration to minimize the radius of gyration of the boom and thus prevent the boom from weather vane, flies over areas near the site, such as traffic lanes, buildings, ...

  • the second articulation 72 is configurable between a service position (visible in figure 14 ) and a retracted position (visible in figure 15 ).
  • the second support 725 is fixed and locked on the second stirrup 27 as described above, that is to say by means of the lower shaft 729 which passes through both the second stirrup 27 and the second support 725 passing through the lower orifice 727, and the upper shaft 728 which passes through both the second stirrup 27 and the second support 725 through the upper orifice 726.
  • the upper shaft 728 no longer crosses the second yoke 27 and only the lower shaft 729, remained in place on the second yoke 27, secures the second support 725 on the second yoke 27.
  • second caliper 27 This second support 725 has been tilted pivotally downwards, having pivoted around the lower shaft 729. Following this tilting of the second support 725, the second support 725 and the second clevis 720 have tilted down, thus freeing access to the central articulation 38 of the movable rod 31 on the arrow 2.
  • the second yoke 27 has concave endings 270 which are shaped to leave an axial passage for the central shaft 39 when it is withdrawn.
  • the second support 725 is locked in this retracted position by means of the upper shaft 728 which passes through the two secondary orifices 723 of the second yoke 720 and the upper orifice 726 of the second support 725. .
  • the second support 725 operates in the manner of a link between the service position and the retracted position.
  • first articulation 71 is also configurable between a service position and a retracted position, in an identical and concommittant manner to the second articulation 72.
  • the spacer 5 comprises a distal portion 520 composed of the distal ends 52 of the two longitudinal beams 50, where this distal portion 520 supports the abutment 6.
  • the two longitudinal beams 50 have a spacing sufficient to extend on either side of the movable rod 31 in the locking position.
  • the two longitudinal beams 50 extend obliquely with respect to the movable rod 31, and extend in particular parallel to the lower beams 24 of the proximal portion 20 of the arrow 2.
  • the two longitudinal beams 50 extend parallel to the movable rod 31.
  • the spacer 5 also comprises crosspieces 53 of arcuate shape, or more precisely in the form of an arch, so that the crosspieces 53 can match the movable rod 31.
  • These crosspieces 53 are positioned in the central part of the longitudinal beams 50 and connect the two longitudinal beams 50 between them.
  • the crosspieces 53 are integral with the same central part 530 extending fixedly between the two longitudinal beams 50.
  • the abutment 6 is mounted on the distal ends 52 of the two longitudinal beams 50, extending transversely between the two longitudinal beams 50.
  • This abutment 5 has an arcuate shape, or more precisely a bow shape, so that the abutment 6 can match the movable rod 31.
  • Each slide 60 is provided with a first orifice 65 passing right through, and each longitudinal beam 50 is provided, at its distal end 52, with a series of several second orifices 55 traversing from one side to the other.
  • the stop 6 is selectively adjustable in position on the spacer in a longitudinal direction 59 parallel to the longitudinal beams 50, employing locking members in the form of two locking fingers 7 which engage both in a first port 65 and in a second port 55 selected from the different second orifices 55 providing several adjustment positions.
  • Each locking pin 7 can be blocked by means of locking elements, such as for example a nut, a pin, a socket, a circlip, or any other means providing a locking or locking of the locking pin 7 on the corresponding slide.
  • locking elements such as for example a nut, a pin, a socket, a circlip, or any other means providing a locking or locking of the locking pin 7 on the corresponding slide.
  • the stop 6 is more or less close to the proximal portion 510 of the spacer 5 and the main pivot axis 35.
  • This adjustment of the position of the stop 6 on the spacer 5 will allow to adjust the length of the movable rod 31 in the extended safety position (described later) and therefore adjust the angle of the arrow 2 in the raised configuration safety, which allows an adjustment of the scope of the arrow 2 on the ground in this raised security configuration.
  • the locking device 4 further comprises an actuator which consists of a locking winch 9 (visible on the figures 2 and 3 ) equipped with a drum 90 on which is wound a locking cable 91, which passes over pulleys and guides 92 arranged on the proximal portion 20 of the arrow 2 to the spacer 5.
  • a locking winch 9 visible on the figures 2 and 3
  • a drum 90 on which is wound a locking cable 91, which passes over pulleys and guides 92 arranged on the proximal portion 20 of the arrow 2 to the spacer 5.
  • the spacer 5 comprises an anchoring element 56 (visible on the figure 7 ) on which is fixed one end of the locking cable 91.
  • This anchoring element 56 is integral with one of the crosspieces 53, and in particular the crosspiece 53 farthest from the proximal ends 51 of the longitudinal beams 50 to reduce the effort required to raise the spacer 5.
  • This locking winch 9 is fixedly mounted on the proximal portion 20 of the boom 2 and the rotation of the drum 90 is effected either manually by means of a crank 93 (as can be seen in the example of FIGS. figures 2 and 3 ) or by means of a motor in a preferred example not shown.
  • the locking device 4 thus allows the implementation of a locking sequence which results in a locking of the luffable boom 2 in the raised safety configuration (visible in FIG. figure 5 ). This locking sequence is performed in three successive phases.
  • a first phase corresponds to a service phase where the spacer 5 is in the release position (visible on the Figures 2 to 4 ) so that the movable rod 31 is free to be moved in the cylinder body 30 to act on the movement of the luffing boom 2, whether in lowering or lifting.
  • the movable rod 31 is free to be moved in the cylinder body 30 to a predefined maximum speed.
  • the movable rod 31 can be moved at the maximum speed allowed.
  • the crane 1 is in service and is used for the distribution of loads.
  • a second phase corresponds to a transition phase where, starting from the service phase, the movable rod 31 is deployed to a deployed position of transition (visible on the figure 4 ).
  • This extended transition position is beyond the extended security position (described below) and is near a maximum deployed position, or even a maximum deployed position (i.e. movable rod 31 at its maximum length output of the cylinder body 30).
  • the arrow 2 is raised to a raised transitional configuration, which is higher than the extended security position.
  • the spacer 5 is moved from its release position to its locking position (visible on the figure 4 ) being folded down on the movable rod 31.
  • a third phase corresponds to a locking phase where, following the transition phase, the movable rod 31 is retracted from the extended transition position (visible in FIG. 4) to the extended safety position (visible on the Figures 5 and 6 ) until the abutment 6 is resting on the bearing surface 410 of the bearing ring 41 so that the spacer 5 holds fixedly the movable rod 31 in the extended safety position, which results in locking the arrow 2 in the raised safety configuration.
  • the stop 6 is thus resting on the cylinder body 30, and more precisely the two abutment plates 64 rest on the bearing surface 410 of the support ring 41 .
  • a step of winding the arrow 2 consisting of a clutch release.
  • arrow 2 (by unlocking orientation brakes provided at the rotating pivot 12) so that the arrow 2 is free to rotate along a vertical axis to automatically orient in the direction of the wind.
