  • the control switch being designed as a wired pendant control switch or as a wireless hand-held transmitter, comprising a manually operable control element in the form of a push button or another non-pivotable one
  • Control element for controlling further functions of the hoist or crane can be produced more economically in different variants for different applications and can be repaired particularly easily in the event of wear in that a switching gate influences the pivoting movement of the control lever due to its shape and the switching gate has a positive, at least one, locking lug having connection releasably connected to the base element and thereby in particular releasably attached to
  • the manual operation of the device is preferably a one-finger operation.
  • the pivoting movement of the control lever is caused by manual operation, preferably one-finger operation, preferably thumb operation, by an operator.

  • a device for the lifting and lowering movements and a further device for the horizontal crane movements of the crane girder (crane travel) and the crane trolley carrying the hoist (travel travel) can be provided.
  • the shift gate Due to the detachable connection of the shift gate and its interchangeability, the shift gate is designed as a modular and separate replacement part.
  • the shift gate is therefore not an integral part of the basic element, which can therefore have its own function that is independent of the shift gate. If the basic element is a housing, its housing function - for example for a sensor system for detecting a pivoting movement of the control lever, in particular a pivoting direction and / or a pivoting angle, in particular including the amount of the pivoting angle - remains independent of the function of the switching gate due to the detachable connection.
  • the shift gate designed according to the invention as a detachable replacement part has the main or preferably even exclusive function of influencing the pivoting movement of the control lever in a manner predefined by appropriate shaping of the shift gate.
  • the function of the switching gate is thereby separated from other components and their functions, in particular from the housing function of the housing.

  • Contactless sensor technology has the advantage that it is particularly low-wear or even wear-free.
  • the sensor system has a magnet and a Hall sensor, preferably a 3D Hall sensor, which interacts with the magnet.
  • the magnet is preferably attached to the control lever or integrated into the control lever and the Hall sensor is preferably attached to the housing.
  • An electrical circuit board for generating the control signals can also be included Housing arranged and signal-transmitting connected to the sensor system and the control of the hoist or crane arranged outside the device and possibly outside the control switch.
  • the control signals are generated outside the housing of the device.

  • the protective web(s) can, for example, protrude from the housing.
  • the control switch can be designed as a wired pendant control switch or as a wireless hand-held transmitter, for example as a radio hand-held transmitter.
  • the control switch can also be installed in an armrest of a crane driver's seat, in which case one-finger operation is also possible.
  • more than one device for manual operation preferably one-finger operation, can also be installed here.
  • control lever is biased relative to the base element, preferably by means of a spring element, and is held in the non-pivoted basic position in an unactuated state by a biasing force and by means of a manual actuation, preferably one-finger actuation. applied force can be pivoted against the preload force into the pivoted actuation position.
  • the spring element is arranged between the shift gate and the control lever in terms of force flow.
  • the preload therefore serves to fulfill safety requirements, as it causes an automatic pivoting movement of the control lever back to the non-pivoted basic position as soon as the manual operation of the control lever has ended.
  • the spring element acting directly or indirectly on the control lever can be supported on the base element, for example on the housing, or another element of the device rigidly connected thereto in order to achieve the preload.
  • the spring element can be a helical spring which, at least in the basic position, extends parallel, preferably coaxially, to the control lever and here inside or outside of the control lever.
  • a guide element preferably frame-shaped or ring-shaped when the frame is closed, is attached to the control lever in such a way that the control lever is supported on the shift gate by means of the guide element and during the pivoting movement of the Control lever, the guide element is guided along a characteristic contour of the switching gate and at the same time, in particular depending on the pivoting direction and / or the pivoting angle of the control lever, is moved relative to the control lever, in particular against or in the direction of the preload force and here preferably parallel to the longitudinal axis of the control lever to define a switching characteristic of the device.
  • the switching gate can, in particular through its characteristic contour, define an actuation force as a shape-related influence for some or all of the possible pivoting movements of the control lever, which is to be applied by manual operation in order to bring the control lever into a possible pivoted actuation position.
  • the respective actuation force which is therefore also defined as a force-related restriction of the pivoting movement, is particularly dependent on the associated pivoting direction and/or the associated pivoting angle relative to the basic position.
  • the characteristic contour can therefore also be referred to as a guide surface for the control lever and/or the guide element.
  • the characteristic contour or guide surface is located in particular as a profiled surface on the side of the shift gate facing the guide element and can have a surface course that initially rises in a ramp shape from the inside to the outside and then falls in the radial direction, that is, viewed radially outwards from the central axis of the shift gate .
  • Such a change from a ramp-like rising and then falling surface course can be repeated radially outwards, which can result in more than one maximum of the surface course.
  • the surface gradient always falls towards the outside edge of the shift gate.
  • Linear, degressive or convex or concave surface gradients or, in sections in the radial direction, any combination of these surface gradients are possible.
  • An edge can also be formed between two sections or surface profiles of the characteristic contour that are adjacent in the radial direction and have different gradients. Multiple edges are also possible in the radial direction.
  • the control lever preferably extends through an opening delimited by the frame or ring.
  • the opening of the guide element and the longitudinal extent of the control lever are coaxial with one another at least in the basic position and preferably also in the actuation position.
  • the opening and/or the outer contour of the guide element can be round, preferably circular, and the opening can be formed by an annular and/or cylindrical and therefore sleeve-shaped section of the guide element.
  • the surface course of the characteristic contour of the switching gate can be designed in such a way that when the control lever pivots from the basic position with an increasing pivot angle, the movement of the guide element occurs alternately against and in the direction of the preload force, in particular parallel to the longitudinal axis of the control lever. Due to the shape of the switching gate, in particular the characteristic contour, this creates a resulting force acting on the control lever, which exceeds the preload force to a varying extent depending on the pivot angle. This is accompanied by correspondingly changing holding forces or actuation forces, which are used by an operator when setting the respective pivoting directions and pivoting angles to effect the associated movement of the hoist or crane, in particular its direction and/or speed to be applied.
  • the guide element must first be moved against the preload force, so that the required actuation force initially increases from the basic position and the associated preload force.
  • different surface profiles of the characteristic contour are conceivable for different switching gates, which can rise in the radial direction from the inside to the outside, for example in a ramp shape with a preferably linear or degressive or convex surface profile.
  • the slope of the ramp-shaped surface profile is preferably lower than for a stepped switching characteristic, so that in the case of a stepped, for example single-stage, switching characteristic, the first or only maximum of the surface profile of the characteristic contour lies further inwards in the radial direction and is therefore achieved at a smaller pivot angle than with the continuously variable switching characteristic.
  • a type of start catch can also be implemented in all variants of the switching gate, in particular in both the stepless and stepped variants described below. It is then provided that a predefined resistance in the sense of a minimum actuation force must first be overcome in order to initially pivot the control lever over a minimum pivot angle so far from the basic position that a control signal is generated or output, and for further pivoting of the control lever up to the first or only maximum, a smaller increase in the actuation force is required than for the initial pivoting beyond the minimum pivoting angle. If the minimum operating force or the minimum pivoting angle is not reached, the control lever is not pivoted or is pivoted sufficiently and therefore no control signal is generated or output.
  • the surface course of the characteristic contour which rises in a ramp-like manner outward in the radial direction, has an inner first section with a significantly greater gradient than the second section adjoining the radially outward direction.
  • the spring element is arranged between the optional guide element and the control lever in terms of force flow.
  • the preload force acting on the control lever by the spring element is applied indirectly with the force flow interposition of the guide element between the base element and the spring element, preferably between the switching gate and the spring element.
  • the actuating force defined as a shape-related influence and force-related limitation of the pivoting movement of the control lever, is also particularly dependent on the associated pivoting angle compared to the basic position.
  • the pivot angle of the control lever influences where the guide element is supported on the shift gate or the characteristic contour, and thus the relative position of the guide element on the control lever, which in turn influences the force acting in the spring element and thus the actuating force to be applied.
  • a recess can also be provided on the guide element, in which the spring element can be supported on the guide element.
  • the spring element is a coil spring
  • the guide element is frame-shaped or ring-shaped and preferably has an annular section and an adjoining cylindrical section, via which the spring element can then be plugged together with the guide element.
  • the optional recess can then also be frame-shaped or ring-shaped and arranged between the cylindrical section and the outer contour of the guide element.
  • the spring element can then be attached to the outside of the cylindrical section of the guide element. This applies regardless of the arrangement of the control lever relative to the coil spring.
  • an actuating element described in more detail below can also be arranged in terms of force flow between the spring element and the control lever, whereby the preload force from the spring element is applied to the control lever by means of the actuating element.
  • the spring element is then arranged in terms of force flow between the switching gate and the optional actuating element, preferably between the optional guide element and the optional actuating element.
  • the spring element can therefore be supported at one end via the optional actuating element on the control lever and at the other end via the optional guide element and the switching gate on the base element in order to achieve the preload in the basic position.
  • the shift gate is frame-shaped or ring-shaped when the frame is closed and the control lever extends through an opening in the shift gate.
  • the shift gate is then preferably formed by a ring element on which the characteristic contour is formed.
  • the central axis of the switching gate is preferably coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the control lever.
  • the opening and/or the outer contour of the shift gate can be round, preferably circular.
  • the control lever also extends through a housing opening into the housing in order to ensure reliable interaction with the switching means, in particular the above-mentioned sensors to ensure that the pivoting movements or the thus set actuation positions as well as the associated pivoting directions and pivoting angles can be detected and recorded within the housing.
  • the characteristic contour is arranged in sections or continuously in the circumferential direction around the opening of the shift gate and the control lever.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the shift gate is such that the characteristic contour extends in the shape of a circular ring segment or circular ring around the opening of the shift gate.
  • the control lever In the basic position of the control lever, it is then designed to be coaxial with the shift gate and its characteristic contour.
  • the characteristic contour of the switching gate is designed in such a way that a stepless or stepped, in particular single-stage or multi-stage, switching characteristic of the device results.
  • a continuously or constantly increasing or decreasing swivel angle curve causes a continuously or constantly increasing or decreasing speed curve of the movement of the hoist or crane in the respective direction of movement via correspondingly assigned control signals. If a start catch is implemented, this only applies once the minimum actuation force or the minimum swivel angle is exceeded.
  • a maximum is defined for each switching stage in the surface course of the characteristic contour and thereby a swivel angle range, to which a non-zero speed of movement of the hoist or crane is assigned.
  • To activate the respective switching stage it is necessary to reach or exceed predefined pivot angles of the control lever or the respective maximums in order to achieve the respectively assigned Speed of movement of the hoist or crane and trigger corresponding control signals.
  • Before activating the first stage it is necessary to reach a minimum swivel angle, if necessary after overcoming the optional start catch, since in a swivel angle range below this no movement of the hoist or crane is caused or no corresponding control signal is triggered or processed.
  • the shape-related influence caused by the switching gate or its characteristic contour and the associated force limitation of the possible pivoting movements also refers to the actuation forces that have to be applied for manual operation, in particular one-finger operation, and counteract the preload force of the control lever in order to move the control lever in particular to move from the unactuated basic position into the possible actuation position(s) or switching stages. Accordingly, for manual operation, in particular one-finger operation, of the control lever and the pivoting directions and angles thereof set, depending on the switching gate used and the associated characteristic contour, different, in particular stepless or stepped, movements of the guide element and the resulting curves of actuation forces are possible.
  • the shift gate is designed in such a way that the pivoting movement of the control lever is limited to a uniaxial or a multi-axis pivoting movement, in the case of a frame-shaped shift gate preferably the shape of the opening of the Shift gate is designed in such a way that the single-axis or multi-axis restriction of the pivoting movement results.
  • the switching gate can define a guide as a swivel range restriction as a shape-related influence on the possible swivel movements in the sense of a spatial restriction for the possible swivel movements of the control lever.
  • a pivoting range is defined by the switching gate, in particular its opening, which spatially limits the possible pivoting movements of the control lever to pivoting movements about exactly one axis.
  • the opening is elongated with two mutually parallel and linear edges.
  • the switching gate in particular its opening, defines a pivoting range, the pivoting movements about several imaginary or virtual axes, preferably at least two axes arranged at right angles to one another, or superpositions thereof as spherical pivoting movements in the sense of a free, three-dimensional pivoting, for example to cause a superimposed movement of the hoist or crane, in particular a diagonal movement of a crane trolley.
  • the opening is round, preferably circular.
  • the control lever can be mounted freely and pivotably in three dimensions, for example by means of a ball joint. The panning range or the entirety of the pivoting movements possible therein, in particular pivot angles, is then influenced and limited accordingly by the shape of the switching gate, in particular its opening, and thus due to its shape.
  • the movements that can be brought about by means of the device, in particular the associated pivoting directions, of the hoist or crane can be clearly assigned to these and can thus be defined as one-dimensional or multi-dimensional.
  • pivoting movements around two imaginary or virtual main axes that are perpendicular to one another can be defined as preferred directions for the movement of the hoist or crane, for example for the travel of a crane trolley in Xs that are perpendicular to one another - and Y directions.
  • a different, preferably higher, necessary actuation force for a pivoting movement that deviates from the preferred directions can be defined than the actuating force required for a pivoting movement in one of the preferred directions with the same absolute pivot angle.
  • a higher actuation force on the control lever may be required in order to effect a superimposed movement of the hoist or crane, such as the diagonal movement of a crane trolley mentioned as an example, than for effecting a movement of the hoist or crane in one of the preferred directions, for example a movement of the Crane trolley only in the X direction or only in the Y direction.
  • the characteristic contour has a surface profile in sections in the circumferential direction, in particular in the shape of a circular ring segment. Between the individual sections or segments, the surface of the shift gate is then so far back from the characteristic contour in the sense of a recess that the guide element between the segments cannot be supported on the shift gate.
  • the switching gate can have a flat surface pointing in the axial direction, which is set back from the segments of the characteristic contour.
  • the characteristic contour is interrupted in sections in the circumferential direction.
  • the preferred directions run, preferably centrally, through the recesses lying between the interrupted sections of the characteristic contour.
  • the recesses can also be in the shape of a circular ring segment.
  • four identically designed sections of the characteristic contour are formed in the circumferential direction, which are interrupted or separated from one another by a total of four recesses.
  • the design of the switching gate with regard to the definition of the desired pivoting range of the control lever is independent of the characteristic contour, so that any combination is possible.
