Definitions
- the present invention is based on an Radiofah ren for a crane, in particular a container crane, which has an upper load suspension point on which a load is suspended via a cable system, so that the load can swing around the upper load suspension point,
- a control device of the crane controls drives of the crane so that the upper load suspension point and with it the load are moved in accordance with the control by the control device.
- the present invention is further based on a control program for a control device of a crane, the control program comprising machine code that can be executed by the control device, the execution of the machine code by the control device causing the control device to operate the crane in accordance with such Operating procedures.
- the present invention is also based on a control device of a crane, the control device being programmed with such a control program, so that the execution of the machine code by the control device causes the control device to operate the crane according to such an operating method.
- the present invention is also based on a crane, in particular a container crane,
- the crane has an upper load suspension point from which a load can be suspended via a cable system so that the load can swing around the upper load suspension point,
- the crane has drives by means of which the upper load suspension point of the crane and with it the load can be moved, the crane has a control device which controls the crane's drives so that the upper load suspension point and with it the load are moved in accordance with the control by the control device.
- the object of the present invention is to reliably ensure collision protection even when the load can swing around the upper load suspension point.
- an operating method of the type mentioned is designed in that
- control device dynamically repeatedly determines an inner safety zone around the load when moving the upper load suspension point, depending on the status variables of the crane,
- control device uses further information known from the control device to check whether an object different from the load enters the inner safety zone
- control device as soon as an object enters the inner safety zone, ends the process of the upper load suspension point or outputs a message to an operator of the crane to terminate the process of the upper load suspension point, and otherwise maintains the process of the upper load suspension point or none Outputs a message to the operator of the crane to end the process of the upper load suspension point. It is possible that the control device only determines the inner safety zone. However, it is preferably provided
- control device dynamically determines at least one outer safety zone surrounding the inner safety zone as a function of the respective state variables
- control device uses the further information to check whether an object different from the load enters the outer safety zone
- control device as soon as an object enters the outer safety zone, reduces a travel speed of the upper load suspension point or outputs a message to reduce the travel speed of the upper load suspension point to an operator of the crane, and otherwise maintains the travel speed of the upper load suspension point or none Outputs message to reduce the travel speed of the upper load suspension point to the operator of the crane.
- This configuration makes it possible to carry out a corresponding reduction in the travel speed or to request that the travel speed be reduced in advance, before the risk of a collision threatens.
- the traversing movement can be carried out as such, but only at a reduced traversing speed.
- the traversing movement is therefore not immediately aborted or such abortion is requested from the operator.
- the extent of the reduction in the travel speed is determined by the fact that in the event that a safety stop occurs at the reduced travel speed, the upper load suspension point can be stopped without the risk of the load colliding with an obstacle. If necessary, several outer safety zones nested inside one another can also be determined, with the travel speed - with reference to the various outer safety zones - being reduced further and further from the outside to the inside.
- control device it is possible for the control device to work in an automatic mode in which the control device independently determines which movement the upper load suspension point is to execute in each case.
- control device preferably works in a manual mode in which the control device repeatedly receives travel commands for the upper load suspension point from the operator. In this case, the control device activates the drives at least when no object different from the load has entered the inner safety zone or the outer safety zone, in each case in accordance with the travel commands given before.
- the control device preferably determines a braking distance of the upper load suspension point based on the current travel speed of the upper load suspension point and takes into account the braking distance of the upper load suspension point and a pendulum movement of the load around the upper load suspension point when determining the inner safety zone. This approach allows the inner safety zone to be estimated as well as possible. Intervention in the actually desired travel movement of the upper load suspension point is reduced to those cases in which it is actually required.
- control device bases the determination of the braking distance of the upper load suspension point on a previously known, constant acceleration.
- the state variables - in addition to the travel speed of the upper load suspension point and the effective pendulum length - include variables characteristic of the actual pendulum movement.
- the control device uses the variables characteristic of the actual pendulum movement - i.e. the specific pendulum movement at the point in time at which the safety stop occurs - to determine a maximum deflection of the pendulum movement for the point in time at which the upper load is applied - suspension point is stopped, and the determined maximum deflection of the pendulum movement is taken into account in the determination of the in neren safety zone.
- the inner safety zone can be determined very precisely based on the actual circumstances.
- the state variables do not include the variables that are characteristic of the actual pendulum movement.
- the control device can take the pendulum movement into account by taking a value from a pendulum table that is dependent on the travel speed of the upper load suspension point and the effective pendulum length and takes this value into account when determining the inner safety zone.
- a value is stored in the pendulum table, which in practice corresponds to the worst possible case. A worst case analysis is therefore carried out. This enables reliable determination of the inner safety zone even if the actual pendulum movement is not known.
- the state variables can additionally include a wind speed of a wind flowing around the load.
- the control device can also take into account a deflection of the load by the wind when determining the inner safety zone. This can further reduce the likelihood of collisions.
- the wind speed can be given as a direction-independent amount or in the form of a vector.
- the control device preferably determines the deflection of the load by wind by taking a value from a wind table that is dependent on the wind speed, a mass of the load and an area of application of the load for the wind, and based on this value the deflection of the load determined the wind.
- This approach turns out to be particularly efficient.
- a control program of the type mentioned at the outset is configured such that the processing of the machine code by the control device causes the control device to operate the crane according to an operating method according to the invention.
- a control device having the features of claim 12.
- a control device of the type mentioned at the beginning is programmed with a control program according to the invention, so that the control device operates the crane according to an operating method according to the invention.
- control device of the crane is designed as a control device according to the invention.
- FIG 2 shows the crane of FIG 1 from above
- FIG 3 shows a pendulum movement
- Security zones, 7 shows a first pendulum table
- a crane has an upper load suspension point 1.
- a load 3 can be suspended from the upper load suspension point 1 via a cable system 2. Due to the fact that the load 3 is thus a hanging load, the load 3 can swing around the upper load suspension point 1 as shown in FIG.
- the load 3 can be designed as a Contai ner, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the crane is a container crane.
- the pendulum movement can, provided the pendulum movement occurs in a vertical plane, be completely described by three variables. These three variables are the effective pendulum length 1, the current deflection angle cp1 and the current angular velocity w. As is well known, the instantaneous angular velocity w corresponds to the time derivative of the instantaneous deflection angle cpl.
- the instantaneous deflection angle cpl has a value of 0 ° when - within the vertical plane - the load 3 is located exactly below the upper load suspension point 1. The present invention is explained below in connection with such a pendulum motion.
- the crane has drives 4a, 4b.
- the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 can be moved by means of the drives 4a, 4b.
- the crane can have a basic frame 5 in accordance with the illustration in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the upper region of which a cross member 6 extends.
- a trolley 7 can be arranged on the traverse 6, which trolley can be moved in an x-direction by means of the drive 4a by specifying a corresponding setpoint value x *.
- the upper load suspension point 1 is arranged on the trolley 7 in this case.
- the basic frame 5 can be moved as a whole by specifying a corresponding setpoint value y * in a y-direction.
- the x-direction and the y-direction are orthogonal to one another and both run (exactly or at least substantially) horizontally.
- the crane also has a wide Ren drive 4c which drives a hoist 8.
- the load 3 can be raised and lowered by specifying a corresponding setpoint value 1 * and the effective pendulum length 1 can be set accordingly.
- the crane can be designed, for example, as a portal crane or as a container bridge.
- Container cranes in particular are often used to move containers to and from
- the load 3 does not necessarily have to be a container, even if this is often the case.
- the specification of the corresponding setpoints x *, y *, 1 * (or the specification of change directions and possibly also change speeds) is carried out by a control device 9 which controls the drives 4a, 4b, 4c of the crane.
- the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 are moved, and the control of the drive 4c, the load 3 is raised or lowered.
- the control device 9 is programmed with a control program 10.
- the control program 10 comprises machine code 11 which can be executed by the control device 9.
- the execution of the machine code 11 by the control device 9 has the effect that the control device 9 operates the crane in accordance with an operating method which is explained in more detail below.
- the control device receives data from the load 3 in a step S1.
- the data can in particular include the mass and dimensions of the load 3.
- the control device 9 determines - if only provisionally - control commands C for the drives 4a, 4b, 4c. In an automatic mode, the control device 9 determines the control commands C independently using its control program 10. In a manual mode, the control device 9 determines the control commands C on the basis of travel commands F from an operator 12. The control commands C set in particular the setpoints x *, y * and 1 * for drives 4a, 4b, 4c fixed.
- control device 9 preferably works in manual mode, however, in which the control device 9 repeatedly receives the drive commands F from the operator 12.
- the travel commands F include, on the one hand, the travel commands for moving the upper load suspension point 1. On the other hand, they include the travel commands for lifting and lowering the load 3.
- step S3 the control device 9 checks whether a safety stop has been triggered. If this is the case, the control device 9 goes to a step S4 in which the control device 9 ends the movement of the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 as quickly as possible (emergency stop). In a subsequent step S5, the control device 9 then checks whether it is again given a release to resume the process of the upper load suspension point 1. The control device 9 carries out step S5 again and again until this occurs.
- the control device 9 determines an inner safety zone 13 around the load 3 in a step S6 (see FIG. 6).
- the inner safety zone 13 is determined in such a way that, in the event of a suddenly occurring safety stop, the load 3 does not come into contact with objects 14 (see FIG. 1) if these are located outside the inner safety zone 13.
- the inner security zone 13 extends horizontally over certain dimensions. This will be explained later. In the vertical direction, the inner safety zone 13, starting from the current position of the load 3 below the upper load suspension point 1, can in principle extend upwards without limitation. Alternatively, it is possible that it extends upwards only to a limited extent.
- the inner safety zone 13 is determined as a function of state variables of the crane. These are the state variables as they exist at the point in time at which the safety stop is triggered.
- the state variables include at least the position of the upper load suspension point 1, for example its x and y position, the travel speed v of the upper load suspension point 1 and the distance between the load 3 and the upper load suspension point 1, i.e. the effective pendulum length 1. In the following it is assumed that these are the corresponding actual values x, y, 1. Alternatively, it can also be the target values x *, y *, 1 *. The determination of the inner safety zone 13 will be explained in more detail later.
- the control device 9 receives information from the surroundings of the load 3.
- the information can be made available to the control device 3 in various ways - possibly also in combination.
- it can be information about stationary obstacles, for example structural structures. Such information only has to be given to the control device 9 once.
- It can also be information about temporarily fixed obstacles, for example about loads that have already been handled or other loads that have yet to be handled.
- Information about loads that have already been handled can be known to the control device 9 due to its operation in the past.
- Information about loads still to be handled can be made known to the control device 9 in other ways, for example by specifying a sequence to be processed for the handling of loads.
- It can also be information about moving obstacles, for example vehicles or people. Such information can be made known to the control device 9, for example via images from a camera or several cameras.
- control device 9 checks in a step S8 whether one of the Load 3 different object 14 enters the inner security zone 13.
- step S9 the control device 9 executes the control commands C determined in step S2. So it controls the drives 4a, 4b, 4c accordingly.
- the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 are thus moved by the control device 9 in accordance with the desired control.
- the control device 9 thus maintains the method of the upper load suspension point 1.
- the control device 9 controls the drives 4a, 4b,
- control device 9 If, on the other hand, the control device 9 has recognized in step S8 that an object 14 different from the load 3 has entered the inner safety zone 13, the control device 9 ends the process of the upper load suspension point 1 in a step S10 The process of the upper load suspension point 1 - analogously to step S4 - ended as quickly as possible.
- the control device 9 can output the aforementioned special message M to the operator 12 in a step S 1. The operator 12 is requested by the special message M to end the movement of the upper load suspension point 1.
- step S9 Both from step S9 and from step S10 or from
- Step Sil from the control device 9 goes back to
- Step S2 back.
- the inner safety zone 13 is dynamically determined again and again when the upper load suspension point 1 is moved.
- the acceleration a is - of course - the travel speed v in the opposite direction.
- pendulum length 1 It is also possible to proceed in the same way for pendulum length 1.
- the acceleration with which the lifting speed is reduced to 0 can alternatively be load-independent or load-dependent. In particular when lowering the load 3, the acceleration with which the lifting speed is reduced to 0 can be dependent on the mass m of the load and possibly also on the position of the trolley 7 on the traverse 6. If, however, the load 3 is being lifted, the lifting speed can be lowered to 0 Tar very quickly and regardless of the mass of the load 3 and the position of the trolley 7 on the traverse 6 in the Re gel.
- the inner safety zone 13 Due to the current position s0 and the braking distance sl, the inner safety zone 13 is not yet fully defined. This is because the load 3 performs a pendulum movement at the point in time at which the safety stop is triggered. It is therefore necessary that the control device 9 in the frame the determination of the inner safety zone 13 not only takes into account the current position s0 and the braking distance sl of the upper load suspension point 1. Rather, the control device 9 must also take into account the pendulum movement of the load 3 around the upper load suspension point 1.
- the pendulum movement can be described by the effective pendulum length 1, the current deflection angle cp1 and the current angular velocity w.
- the pendulum length 1 is always known to the control device 9. It is possible that the instantaneous deflection angle cp1 and the instantaneous angular velocity w of the control device 9 are also known. However, it is also possible that they are not known to the control device 9.
- the output variable cp2 of table 15 for the pendulum movement of the load 3 at the point in time at which the upper load suspension point 1 is stopped is the maximum - not the current - deflection cp2 of the current pendulum movement, hereinafter referred to as the maximum deflection cp2.
- Table 15 is referred to below as the first pendulum table 15.
- the four input variables v, 1, cp1 and w must be varied step by step.
- the other parameters - for example the acceleration a - are constant and given before.
- the respective maximum deflection cp2 can easily be determined.
- the equations of motion of the upper load suspension point 1 and the load 3 are known and can - analytically or numerically - be solved without further information.
- the limits for the input variables v, 1, cp1 and w of the first pendulum table 15 can easily be determined in a meaningful way.
- the maximum possible value for the travel speed v is readily known.
- the minimum travel speed v has the value 0.
- pendulum length 1 is readily known.
- a minimum value and a maximum value can be sensibly determined without further ado.
- Sensible assumptions can be made for the pendulum movement of the load 3 at the point in time at which the safety stop is triggered.
- it can be known on the basis of empirical values how strong the pendulum movement can be.
- the empirical numerical value of 5 ° is of course only exemplary.
- the empirical numerical value can depend in particular on the pendulum length 1 and possibly also on the travel speed v.
- the different possible values for the travel speed v and the pendulum length 1 must be processed step by step (usually as the outer and next inner loop). Step sizes of these two loops can be determined as required. For each specific value of the travel speed v and the pendulum length 1, the associated empirically maximum possible pendulum angle - given the reference number below - is then determined. Now in a next inner loop possible values - given the reference symbol ⁇ below - are set between 0 and the empirically maximum possible pendulum angle and possible states are calculated in an innermost loop for the respective value ⁇ of the pendulum movement. The step sizes can also be determined for these two loops as required. In order to explain the procedure somewhat more specifically, a program-like code is reproduced below.
- the variables vl, v2 and dn are used for the minimum value, the maximum value and the increment of the travel speed v.
- the sizes 11, 12 and 51 are used in a similar manner for the minimum value, the maximum value and the increment of the pendulum length 1.
- the size db is used for the step size when varying the maximum deflection ß.
- the variable df is used for the step size when looking at the individual states of a specific pendulum movement.
- a further table 16 can be determined on the basis of the first pendulum table 15.
- the further table 16 is only two-dimensional as shown in FIG. It is referred to as the second pendulum table 16 below.
- Input variables for the second pendulum table 16 are - in each case related to the point in time at which the safety stop is triggered - the travel speed v and the effective pendulum length 1.
- Output variable cp3 of the second pendulum table 16 is the largest of the entries in the first pendulum table 15 for the respective travel speed v and the respective effective pendulum length is entered as the maximum deflection cp2.
- the output variable cp3 of the second pendulum table 16 therefore gives for a given travel speed v and a given effective pendulum length 1 the maximum of the possible maximum deflections cp2.
- cp3 maximum of all cp2 (cp1 and w are varied) end of do loop 1
- Input variables possibly increased by one dimension (namely the lifting speed) or two dimensions (namely the lifting speed and the acceleration with which the lifting speed is reduced to 0).
- the basic procedure however, remains the same.
- the control device 9 receives the current values for the deflection angle cp1 and the angular velocity w in a step S21, as shown in FIG.
- the corresponding values cp1, w are recorded using suitable measuring systems.
- the Winkelge speed w can be determined by the control device 9, if necessary, by determining the time derivatives of a plurality of deflection angles cp1 recorded one after the other.
- the measuring systems can in particular be designed as safe measuring systems.
- the control device 9 can also receive other values which characterize the pendulum movement. In this case, the control device 9 can determine the deflection angle cp1 and the Winkelge speed w on the basis of the characteristic variables.
- the state variables on the basis of which the control device 9 determines the inner safety zone 13, ie in addition to the travel speed v and the effective pendulum length 1 for the actual pendulum movement, are characteristic variables cp1, w.
- the control device 9 is therefore not only able to determine the braking distance sl in a step S22. Rather, the control device 9 is also able, in a step S23, to specifically determine the maximum deflection cp2 on the basis of the four values, 1, cp1 and w now specifically given. It is possible here for the control device 9 to carry out an analytical determination. Preferably, however, the determination has already been made in advance and is made available to the control device 9 in accordance with the illustration in FIG.
- the maximum deflection cp2 can be an angle.
- the control device 9 determines the inner safety zone 13.
- the inner safety zone 13 is thus obtained from the approach by taking into account the braking distance s1 and the longitudinal deflection s2.
- position s results as the boundary of the inner safety zone 13 as follows:
- control device 9 can also evaluate other variables as part of the determination of the inner safety zone 13. In contrast to the sizes mentioned, these sizes do not change when the upper load suspension point 1 is moved. Examples of such sizes are the dimensions of the load 3 or the maximum possible dimensions of the load 3. For example, if the load 3 is a container, it can be known that a maximum of 48-foot containers are handled. The associated length, width and height would correspond to maximum values for the dimensions of the load 3. If specifically, for example, a 40-foot container or a 20-foot container is handled, these values can also be used as an alternative.
- control device 9 does not receive the current values for the deflection angle cp1 and the angular velocity w (or other values which characterize the actual pendulum movement). In this case, the control device 9 can only undertake a worst-case consideration.
- a step S31 (FIG. 10) can correspond 1: 1 with the step S22.
- the control device 9 can only determine the maximum cp3 of the possible maximum deflections cp2 in a step S32. Theoretically, it is again possible here for the control device 9 to carry out an analytical determination.
- the determination was preferably made in advance and is made available to the control device 9 in accordance with the illustration in FIG.
- a step S33 the control device 9 then determines the inner safety zone 13.
- the step S33 corresponds to the step S24 of FIG.
- the procedure of FIG. 10 can be further developed.
- the control device 9 does not receive the deflection angle cp1 and the angular velocity w in a step S41, but does receive a wind speed vW of a wind flowing around the load 3.
- the wind speed vW can be specified as a pure amount. However, it can also be specified as a vector size.
- the state variables on the basis of which the inner safety zone 13 is determined can thus additionally include the wind speed vW.
- the control device 9 is able to determine an additional deflection s3 in a step S42.
- the additional deflection s3 corresponds to the static deflection of the load 3 caused by the wind speed vW. It is dependent on the effective pendulum length 1, the force exerted by the wind on the load 3 and the mass m of the load 3. The force in turn depends on the wind speed vW. It is therefore possible, for example, to determine a further table 17 as shown in FIG.
- Table 17 can have the wind speed vW, the mass m of the load 3, an effective surface A of the load 3 for the wind and the effective pendulum length 1 as input variables and provide the additional deflection s3 as the output variable.
- vW wind speed
- m mass of the load 3
- a of the load 3 for the wind an effective surface of the load 3 for the wind
- the effective pendulum length 1 as input variables and provide the additional deflection s3 as the output variable.
- control device 9 determines the additional deflection s3
- the control device 9 is, however, able in a step S43 within the scope of the determination of the inner safety zone 13 not only to determine the braking distance s1 and the longitudinal deflection s2, but also to take into account the additional deflection s3.
- the present invention can also be embodied in other ways. This is explained in more detail below in connection with FIG. FIG. 13 is based on the procedure of FIG. 5. However, steps S51 to S54 are also present.
- step S51 the control device 9 determines at least one outer security zone 18.
- the outer security zone 18 surrounds the inner security zone 13 as shown in FIG. 6.
- Step S51 is carried out dynamically again and again by the control device 9 - just like step S6 .
- the outer safety zone 18 is also determined as a function of the same state variables as the inner safety zone 13.
- step S52 the control device 9 checks whether the object 14 enters the outer security zone 18. If this is not the case, the control device 9 goes to step S9. In particular in manual operation, the control device 9 controls the drives 4a, 4b, 4c in this case in accordance with the given travel commands F. A possible message M 'to reduce the speed v Verfahrge is not output to the operator 12. If, on the other hand, this is the case, the control device 9 goes to step S8.
- step S8 determines in step S8 that the object 14 has entered the outer security zone 18, but not the inner security zone 13, the control device 9 goes to a step S53.
- step S53 the control device 9 determines modified control commands C.
- the control device 9 reduces the travel speed v of the upper load suspension point 1. Alternatively or additionally, it can output a corresponding message M 'to the operator 12 that this is the Should reduce the travel speed v.
- a crane has an upper load suspension point 1 from which a load 3 is suspended via a cable system 2 so that the load 3 can swing around the upper load suspension point 1.
- a control device 9 of the crane controls drives 4a, 4b of the crane so that the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 are moved in accordance with the control by the control device 9.
- the control device 9 dynamically determines an inner safety zone 13 around the load 3 as a function of state variables x, v, 1, cp1, w, vW of the crane.
- the state variables x, v, 1, cp1, w, vW include at least one position x of the upper load suspension point 1, a travel speed v of the upper load suspension point 1 and an effective pendulum length 1 of the load 3 around the upper load suspension point 1.
- the control device 9 checks further information known from the control device 9 as to whether an object 14 different from the load 3 is entering the inner safety zone 13. As soon as an object 14 enters the inner safety zone 13, the control device 9 ends the process of the upper load suspension point 1 or outputs a message M to an operator 12 of the crane to terminate the process of the upper load suspension point 1. Otherwise, the control device 9 maintains the process of the upper load suspension point 1 or does not issue a message M to the operator 12 of the crane to end the process of the upper load suspension point 1.
- the present invention has many advantages. In particular, it can be ensured in a simple and efficient manner that the load 3, although it can swing, does not collide with an obstacle (object 14) that suddenly appears, even in the event of a sudden safety stop.
- the present invention can also be used in cranes in which the effective pendulum length 1 can reach high values - in some cases over 50 m. In the case of such large pendulum lengths 1, inclined strandings, which effectively prevent the load 3 from swinging significantly in the case of small pendulum lengths 1, are almost ineffective.
