Definitions
- the present invention is used in forestry for harvesting wood or also for transporting wood and other long goods, cable crane systems. These systems consist of a cable crane which is pulled by means of a rope or which moves independently on a rope. The ropes are pulled onto carrier vehicles (tilting mast, yarder, etc.) or fixed installation by means of winch units. Systems common in the industry are referred to as “Standing Skyline”, “Live Skyline” or “Running Skyline”. The rope cranes and winch units used for this are adapted to the most varied of their structure and the respective application.
- the invention can be used for uphill, downhill and / or horizontal roping over flat and non-drivable terrain.
- the cable cranes of this invention can provide the power for transportation by either winch motor power, gravitational force, or self-propulsion.
- winch motor power for transportation by either winch motor power, gravitational force, or self-propulsion.
- all drive types corresponding to the state of the art can be used; hybrid solutions are also in use.
- the grapple with a rapple rope crane must be lowered to the ground so that trees lying on the ground can be picked up with the grapple (see Fig. 2).
- the position of the rapple cable crane i.e. the traveled length on the cable, is shown on a display and the trees or long goods are recorded and transmitted to the operator by means of a camera that is oriented towards the ground and possibly swiveling. With this information, the operator lowers the gripper and / or tries to grab the trees or the long goods for transport.
- the trees or long goods are positioned with their thicker end below the cable route by felling or moving them. At the thicker end, the trees are grabbed and dragged uphill, downhill or horizontally with the top of the tree dragging on the ground.
- the aim here is to prevent the trees from hanging or swinging freely, as otherwise there is a risk that the end of the tree will damage the carriage, the support cable, the support cable saddle or the support tree or get caught on them. This is ensured by permanent transport monitoring and manual control or readjustment by the operator of the system.
- a grapple rope crane is a rope crane with a tong-like grab.
- Grapple is a partially and / or fully looping grip method for the wood and / or long goods.
- the central control and / or regulating unit thus receives the position of the carriage in space via the rope unwinding and / or barometric and / or satellite-supported and / or radiation-enabled location determination.
- the distance to the ground and thus the topography of the terrain can be determined by a sensor system installed in the carriage, suitable for direct and / or indirect measuring methods.
- the topography also referred to below as the soil profile
- the information on the soil profile is fed into the central control and / or regulation unit.
- Another option for detecting the soil profile is to pull a height and position sensor over the soil profile by means of a carriage and / or cable crane (Fig. 3, Item 1).
- the position of the trees or the long material is recognized by the analysis software from the recorded scan data of the soil profile surface during the learning run and the location-determining data is transmitted to the central control and / or regulating unit.
- the learning run can also take place with the carriage lowered.
- the length of the trees is known to the operator and is entered into the control and / or regulating unit as master data.
- the information on the position of the trees in space or the long goods in the central control and / or regulation unit can also be used here from other sources (for example by a worker in the area and / or a machine that cuts the trees).
- the central control and / or regulation unit calculates the weight of the transported goods on the basis of the recognized trunk diameter and the tree type and moisture content specified by the operator.
- the learning run (measurement run) can be repeated as often as required, provided that the terrain or the position of the trees or the long goods change significantly.
- Fixed points in the cable route such as supports, stops or landing pad position can be read into the control and / or regulating unit for regular readjustment when approaching or driving over it.
- the information known to the control and / or regulating unit is used to create the cycle for removal after the measurement run / learning run, which can be influenced by selected specifications of the operator (e.g. cycle time of the tree deposition at the landing site).
- the operator starts the program and the Grapple carriage transports all trees individually or in multiple transports, with the trees being placed in between to the landing position.
- the grip position i.e. the distance from the interface to the gripping position, is specified and the Grapple carriage applies the pliers accordingly.
- the central control and / or regulation unit ensures that the top of the hill is in contact with the ground.
- the data on soil profile and shortest recorded in the grapple Tree or long goods are offset against this, as well as the tensile force, rope length and the towing position thus calculated.
- the height is thus regulated via the rinsed rope or the tension of the suspension rope.
- the Grapple trolley works partially autonomously, i.e. no intervention by the operator is necessary during normal operation. Only faults have to be corrected and master data (wood length, wood type, moisture, position of supports, etc.) entered.
- the Grapple carriage can be designed as a fixed carriage on the rope with a roller combination on top or surrounding the rope. Alternatively, the Grapple carriage can also be lowered (see Fig. 1, Item 2)
- a cable winch is mounted on the Grapple carriage with which trees that are outside the cable route (that is the area below the tensioned cable) can be pulled into it in manual mode.
- the cable winch is fixed and / or removable on the carriage in order to be able to reduce the weight of the carriage if necessary.
