Definitions

  • the present invention is also based on a control program for a control device of a crane, the control program comprising machine code which 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 an operating method.
  • the present invention is also based on a control device of a crane, the control device being programmed with such a control program such 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.
  • a special case here is the manual operation of the crane.
  • manual operation the crane is operated by a crane driver or generally by an operator.
  • the operator has full responsibility for the crane and the load handled by the crane. In particular, the operator must ensure that the load does not collide with other objects (obstacles).
  • the operators of such cranes are generally well trained and are good at assessing situations that could lead to a collision.
  • the braking of the upper load suspension point acts on the load via the rope system. In some cases, this causes the load to move in an undesired pendulum motion that the operator cannot foresee. Due to the pendulum movement, a collision can occur despite or even precisely because of the emergency stop.
  • DE 10 2012 007940 A1 discloses an operating method for a crane, in particular a container crane, which has an upper load suspension point from which a load is suspended via a cable system, so that the load can swing about the upper load suspension point, with a control device of the crane controlling drives of the crane so that the upper load suspension point and with it the load are moved in accordance with the activation by the control device, with the control device using further information known to the control device checking whether an object other than the load enters the inner safety zone, and- with the control device as soon as a Object enters the internal safety zone, completes the top lifting point movement or gives a notification to an operator of the crane to stop the top lifting point movement, and otherwise keeps the top lifting point moving or does not give a notification to the end of the movement s of the upper load suspension point to the operator of the crane.
  • the object of the present invention is to reliably ensure collision protection even when the load can swing around the upper load suspension point.
  • This refinement makes it possible, in advance, before there is a risk of a collision, to carry out a corresponding reduction in the travel speed or to request that the travel speed be reduced.
  • the traversing movement can be carried out as such, but only at a reduced traversing speed. The movement is therefore not immediately aborted or such an abort is requested from the operator.
  • the extent to which the travel speed is reduced is determined in 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 nested outer safety zones can also be determined, with the traversing speed—in relation to the various outer safety zones—being reduced more and more from the outside inwards.
  • control device it is possible for the control device to work in an automatic mode, in which the control device independently determines which displacement movement the upper load suspension point should carry out in each case.
  • control device preferably works in 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 controls the drives at least when no object other than the load has entered the inner safety zone or the outer safety zone, in each case in accordance with the specified travel commands.
  • the control device preferably determines a braking distance of the upper load suspension point based on the instantaneous 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 as part of the determination of the inner safety zone. This procedure allows the inner security zone to be estimated as accurately as possible. Intervention in the actually desired travel movement of the upper load suspension point is thus reduced to those cases in which it is actually necessary.
  • 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 that are characteristic of the actual pendulum movement. This makes it possible for the control device to determine a maximum deflection of the pendulum movement for that point in time at which the upper load suspension point is stopped, and the determined maximum deflection of the pendulum movement is taken into account as part of the determination of the inner safety zone. As a result, the inner security zone can be determined very precisely according to 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 depends on the travel speed of the upper load suspension point and the effective pendulum length, and taking 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 scenario is therefore carried out. This enables the inner safety zone to be reliably determined even if the actual pendulum movement is not known.
  • the state variables 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 due to the wind as part of the determination of the inner safety zone. This can further reduce the probability of collisions.
  • the wind speed can be given as a direction-independent amount or in the form of a vector.
  • the control device determines the deflection of the load by the wind by taking a value from a wind table that is dependent on the wind speed, a mass of the load and an attack surface of the load for the wind, and using this value to determine the deflection of the load by the wind wind detected. This procedure turns out to be particularly efficient.
  • a control program of the type mentioned at the outset is designed in such a way that the processing of the machine code by the control device causes the control device to operate the crane in accordance with 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.
  • 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 be moved as shown in 3 swing around the upper load suspension point 1.
  • the load 3 can as shown in the 1 and 2 for example, be designed as a container. In this case the crane is a container crane.
  • the pendulum movement can be fully described by three variables. These three variables are the effective pendulum length l, the instantaneous deflection angle ⁇ 1 and the instantaneous angular velocity ⁇ . As is generally known, the instantaneous angular velocity ⁇ corresponds to the time derivative of the instantaneous deflection angle ⁇ 1.
  • the instantaneous deflection angle ⁇ 1 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 will be explained below in connection with such an oscillating movement.
  • the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 can be moved by means of the drives 4a, 4b.
  • the crane as shown in the 1 and 2 have a basic structure 5, in the upper part of which a cross member 6 runs.
  • a trolley 7 can be arranged on the traverse 6, which 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 framework 5 it is possible for the basic framework 5 to be moved as a whole in a y-direction by specifying a corresponding desired value y* by means of the drive 4b.
  • the x-direction and the y-direction are orthogonal to one another and are both (exactly or at least substantially) horizontal.
  • the crane also has a further drive 4c, which drives a hoist 8.
  • the load 3 can be raised and lowered by specifying a corresponding setpoint value l* and the effective pendulum length l can be set accordingly.
  • the crane can be designed, for example, as a gantry crane or as a gantry crane.
  • STS ship to shore
  • other configurations are also possible, for example as a gantry crane.
  • the load 3 does not necessarily have to be a container, even though this is often the case.
  • a control device 9 which controls the drives 4a, 4b, 4c of the crane. According to the control of the drives 4a, 4b, the upper load suspension point 1 and with it the load 3 are moved, according to 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 includes machine code 11 which can be executed by the control device 9 . Execution of the machine code 11 by the controller 9 causes the controller 9 to operate the crane according to an operating method which will be explained in more detail below.
  • control device accepts data from the load 3 in a step S1.
  • the data can in particular include the mass and the dimensions of the load 3 .
  • the control device 9 determines—even 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 particularly set the setpoint values x*, y* and l*. for the drives 4a, 4b, 4c.
  • control device 9 preferably works in manual mode, in which the control device 9 repeatedly receives the travel 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 a release for resuming the movement of the upper load suspension point 1 has been given to it again. The control device 9 repeats 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 6 ).
  • the inner safety zone 13 is determined in such a way that in the event of a sudden safety stop, the load 3 does not come into contact with objects 14 (see FIG 1 ) comes into contact if they are outside the inner security 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 indefinitely. Alternatively it is possible that it only extends upwards to a limited extent. Down the safety zone 13 is always limited, namely - based on the current height position of the load 3 - by the braking distance that is required to stop the hoist 8 when lowering the load 3.
  • 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 time when the safety stop is triggered.
  • the state variables include at least the position of the upper load suspension point 1, i.e. for example its x and y position, the travel speed v of the upper load suspension point 1 and the distance of the load 3 from the upper load suspension point 1, i.e. the result is the effective pendulum length l. It is assumed below that the corresponding actual values x, y, l are involved. Alternatively, however, it can also be the target values x*, y*, l*. The determination of the inner security 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, such as building structures. Such information only has to be specified once for the control device 9 .
  • It can also be information about temporarily fixed obstacles, for example about other loads that have already been handled or are still 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 communicated to the control device 9 in some other way, for example by specifying a sequence to be processed for handling loads.
  • It can also be information about moving obstacles, such as vehicles or people. Such information can be made known to the control device 9, for example, via images from a camera or multiple cameras.
  • control device 9 checks in a step S8 whether one of the Last 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 according to the desired control.
  • the control device 9 thus retains the movement of the upper load suspension point 1.
  • a special message M to the operator 12 does not occur.
  • the control device 9 controls the drives 4a, 4b, 4c in this case in accordance with the specified travel commands F.
  • control device 9 If, on the other hand, the control device 9 has recognized in step S8 that an object 14 other than 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 is also stopped in step S10 of the upper load suspension point 1 - as in step S4 - ended as quickly as possible. Alternatively or additionally, the control device 9 can output the mentioned special message M to the operator 12 in a step S11. The operator 12 is prompted by the special message M to end the process of the upper load suspension point 1 .
  • step S9 Both from step S9 and from step S10 or from step S11, the control device 9 returns to step S2.
  • the inner safety zone 13 is determined dynamically again and again when the upper load suspension point 1 is moved.
  • the acceleration a is - of course - directed in the opposite direction to the travel speed v.
  • the change in the pendulum length l i.e. the lifting speed at which the load 3 is raised or lowered
  • the acceleration with which the lifting speed is reduced to 0 can alternatively be load-independent or load-dependent.
  • 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, on the other hand, the load 3 is just being lifted, the lifting speed can usually be lowered to 0 very quickly and independently of the mass of the load 3 and the position of the trolley 7 on the traverse 6 .
  • the inner safety zone 13 is not yet fully defined by the current position s0 and the braking distance s1. This is because the load 3 is oscillating when the safety stop is triggered. It is therefore necessary that the control device 9 in the context When determining the inner safety zone 13, not only the current position s0 and the braking distance s1 of the upper load suspension point 1 are taken into account. Rather, the control device 9 must also take into account the pendulum movement of the load 3 about the upper load suspension point 1 .
  • the pendulum movement can be described by the effective pendulum length l, the instantaneous deflection angle ⁇ 1 and the instantaneous angular velocity ⁇ .
  • the pendulum length l is always known to the control device 9 . It is possible that the instantaneous deflection angle ⁇ 1 and the instantaneous angular velocity ⁇ of the control device 9 are also known. However, it is also possible that the control device 9 does not know them.
  • Output variable ⁇ 2 of Table 15 is for the pendulum movement of the load 3 at the time when the upper load suspension point 1 is stopped, the maximum - not the instantaneous - deflection ⁇ 2 of the current pendulum movement, hereinafter referred to as maximum deflection ⁇ 2.
  • the table 15 is referred to as the first oscillation table 15 hereinafter.

  • the travel speed v has a minimum value of 0.
  • a minimum value and a maximum value can be meaningfully determined without further ado.
  • Reasonable assumptions can be made for the pendulum motion of the load 3 at the time the safety stop is triggered. In particular, based on empirical empirical values, it can be known how strong the pendulum movement can be. For example, it can be empirically known that in actual operation there is a maximum oscillation of 5°. The empirical numerical value of 5° is, of course, purely exemplary. Furthermore, the empirical numerical value can depend in particular on the pendulum length l and possibly also on the travel speed v.
  • the various possible values for the travel speed v and the pendulum length l must be processed step by step (usually as an outer and next inner loop). Increments of these two loops can be determined as required. For each specific value of the displacement speed v and the pendulum length l, the associated empirically maximum possible pendulum angle—hereinafter provided with the reference symbol ⁇ —is then determined. Now, in a next inner loop, possible values—hereinafter provided with the reference symbol ⁇ —between 0 and the empirically maximum possible pendulum angle ⁇ are set and possible states are calculated in an innermost loop for the respective value ⁇ of the pendulum movement. The increments for these two loops can also be determined as required.

  • Output variable ⁇ 3 of the second pendulum table 16 is the largest of the entries entered in the first pendulum table 15 for the respective travel speed v and the respective effective pendulum length as maximum deflection ⁇ 2.

In contrast to the variables mentioned, however, these variables do not change when the upper load suspension point 1 is moved. Examples of such quantities are the dimensions of the load 3 or 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, for example, a 40-foot container or a 20-foot container is being handled, these values can also be used as an alternative.

  • the present invention has many advantages. In particular, it can be ensured in a simple and efficient manner that the load 3 does not collide with a sudden obstacle (object 14) even in the event of a sudden safety stop, although it can swing. This applies equally to manual operation and automated operation of the crane. This danger otherwise exists, although in normal operation a so-called sway control is often effective. Because when a safety stop is triggered, such a sway control loses its function, since the safety stop has priority. Furthermore can the present invention can also be used in cranes in which the effective pendulum length l can reach high values--sometimes over 50 m.
