In the decelerated traversing block, the travel speed of the traversing trolley 8 is continuously controlled at a constant deceleration along a secondary function curve of the travel speed to the distance traveled, this control being stopped when the oscillation of the bucket 18 caused during the shift to the decelerated traversing finishes one cycle of pendulum motion.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a speed control method of a trolley for a cable crane for transporting a load suspended from the trolley while preventing the load from swinging.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In particular, in the construction of dams and bridges in mountainous areas, cable cranes are used exclusively for transporting concrete or transporting construction equipment and materials.

[0003] This cable crane equipment is a traverse that is movable along the main rope by a main rope stretched over a construction area to be constructed and a transverse rope suspended from the main rope and connected to front and rear ends. The crane equipment mainly includes a trolley, a hanging hook held by a hoisting rope hung from the traversing trolley and capable of ascending and descending, and a winch installed for each rope member.

[0004] In recent years, especially in dam construction work, automation has been promoted in order to improve efficiency of frequently repeated concrete transportation work.

[0005] As regards automation of a cable crane, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-115878 (No. 1)
Prior example), JP-A-6-115875 (second prior example), JP-A-6-115876 (third prior example),
JP-A-6-115877 (fourth prior example) can be cited. In automation of the cable crane, the two most important control items are bucket positioning control at start coordinates and target coordinates, and steadying control for suppressing bucket swing.

In the latter example, the first prior art example calculates a feedback control amount and a timing for canceling a shake corresponding to a shake angle and an angular velocity at a specific timing of acceleration / deceleration, and calculates the feedback control amount at a specific timing of acceleration / deceleration. It also discloses that feedback control for steadying is performed during deceleration. Specifically, after starting the operation of the traverse trolley (hereinafter, also simply referred to as trolley), at the time when the trolley is accelerated, the position, the speed of the trolley, the swing angle and the angular velocity of the bucket are input, and these values are input. The control voltage for steadying is calculated by applying to a predetermined equation of motion for steadying, the control start time is calculated, and the control waits until the start. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), this state corresponds to the time when the speed of the trolley has reached the constant speed v1 from the start of operation.
When t1, the bucket oscillates due to the response delay, and becomes a pendulum-shaped sinusoidal curve that swings to the left and right as shown by the swing width v2, and its cycle becomes constant if the length of the sling is constant, and the maximum amplitude . Therefore, after time t1, v2
The point time t2 at which = 0 is obtained, and v2
By applying an acceleration corresponding to = max for a predetermined period of time, the shake is canceled. When the start time is t2,
The primary feedback control is started, a control voltage for acceleration is applied to the trolley to the drive device, and a response calculation is performed from the swing.

FIG. 11B shows a state in which the primary feedback control has been performed until time t3. During this time (time t2 to t3
If v2 = max <permissible value in (interval), the feedback control ends. On the other hand, if it exceeds the allowable value, the secondary feedback start time t4 is calculated in the same procedure as described above, and when the start time comes, the control voltage obtained from the response calculation is added for a predetermined time. At the same time, the response is measured and the shake is calculated. FIG. 11C shows a state in which the secondary feedback control has been performed. If v2 = max <permissible value during this period (between times t3 and t4), the feedback control is terminated. If the value exceeds the permissible value, the same feedback control is repeated again until the value converges to the permissible value. To do. Control during deceleration is performed in the same manner.

Next, in the second prior example, the degree of bending of the main rope, the length of the transverse cable extended from the trolley, and the length of the suspended rope are defined as calculation elements in accordance with the transfer start position and the transfer end position. The behavior of the main rope, the trolley and the bucket is analyzed in advance to model an operation pattern, and when the cable crane is operated, the modeled operation pattern is selected according to set conditions, and the operation pattern is selected. The cable crane is automatically controlled in accordance with the following, and the bucket is controlled from the start coordinates to the target coordinates in accordance with the modeled acceleration-constant speed-deceleration and steadying foot pattern for traversing and ascending / descending, thereby controlling the swing. There is disclosed a method of automatically transporting to a target position while preventing it. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12A, the target area of the dam is divided into several small blocks, and the operating speed of the trolley and the lifting / lowering speed of the bucket are determined for each block in consideration of the steady rest. Calculate the driving pattern in the shortest time. The driving pattern of the trolley is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), an operation pattern is set in which acceleration is performed stepwise from the start coordinates, then becomes a constant speed, and then becomes zero at the target coordinates by stepwise deceleration.

In the third prior art, as shown in FIG. 13, during acceleration and deceleration, the actual movement of the trolley along the main rope and the actual movement of the bucket suspended from the trolley are detected. Also, there is disclosed a steadying suppression method for performing feedback control for canceling a shake corresponding to a shake angle and an angular velocity by fuzzy inference based on the detection result. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 showing the relationship between the speed at the time of departure and the swing of the bucket, as the traversing speed increases from the time of departure, the bucket swings toward the delay side (-) due to the response delay of the bucket. Assuming that the swing is stopped by, for example, a two-stage speed control, if the speed is returned to a constant speed during a predetermined period Delta T during the acceleration period, the bucket moves forward (+) to the position in the figure by its foot. Is turned back to some extent.

At the time of the re-acceleration, the starting leg and the acceleration are synchronized with each other, and when a constant speed state is reached after the re-acceleration, the bucket stops at the neutral position as shown in FIG. Detecting the direction and trolley speed, fuzzy inference based on the relationship between the swing angle and the trolley speed, that is, whether or not the set swing width has been reached, and if it becomes, if it accelerates again with a numerical value based on it, At the end of acceleration, the bucket stops at the neutral position. Although the speed is linear in FIG. 13, a step-like trajectory is actually drawn during acceleration / deceleration by feedback control.

In the fourth prior example, when the trolley is accelerating and decelerating, the position and speed of the trolley along the main rope and the swing angle and angular velocity of the bucket are detected and the swing of the bucket is controlled by feedback control. Is disclosed.

As described above, with respect to the first to fourth examples,
Each of the driving methods of the traversing trolley related to the steady rest control has been described in detail. However, although these driving methods are different in their specific methods, the acceleration (deceleration)- It is common in that stepwise speed control of constant speed-acceleration (deceleration) is performed.

[0013]

According to the steady rest control method described above, the crane operator and the signaling person communicate with each other by radio or the like as in the prior art, and the crane operator manually operates according to the instruction of the signaling person. Compared with the conventional method that performed steady rest control, there was no human operation error, the steady rest control of the bucket could be performed effectively, and the crane operator was released from the tension state for a long time. For example, various effects are provided.

However, after grasping (measuring) the position and speed of the traversing trolley and the swing angle and angular velocity of the bucket, the control amount is calculated by various methods based on these measured amounts, and the step-like shape is obtained by feedback control. Speed control, it takes time for the vibration to converge, and there are problems such as a complicated control system or control method as understood from the above description.

Accordingly, a main object of the present invention is to provide a cable capable of stopping the swing of a suspended load such as a bucket suspended from a traverse trolley during acceleration / deceleration in a minimum time, thereby enabling positioning with high precision. An object of the present invention is to provide a speed control method of a trolley for a crane.

[0016]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a method for controlling the speed of a trolley for transporting a cable suspended from a trolley in a cable crane facility while preventing the load from swinging. The operation section of the traversing trolley is divided into an acceleration traversing section, a constant-speed traversing section, and a deceleration traversing section. In the acceleration traversing section, the traveling speed of the traversing trolley is continuously changed along a quadratic function curve with respect to the traveling distance. The operation is controlled at a constant acceleration, and the swing of the load generated at the time of starting is shifted to the constant speed traverse at the end of one cycle of the pendulum motion. The traveling trolley is traversed at a constant speed so that the relative velocity difference does not appear, and in the deceleration traversing section, the traveling speed of the traveling trolley is continuously changed along a quadratic function curve with respect to the traveling distance. As well as operation control at a constant deceleration, deflection of the load generated during deceleration transverse migration is characterized in that the stop at the time of completion of the pendulum motion of one cycle.

In this case, the traversing speed in the constant-speed traversing section is a preset target speed, and the acceleration in the acceleration traversing section and the deceleration in the deceleration traversing section are set based on the target speed. It is desirable.

In the constant speed traversing section, a predetermined control set in accordance with the mechanical characteristics of the traversing device based on the difference between the speed detection data obtained by the speed detecting means of the traversing trolley and the target speed. It is desirable to maintain a constant speed by feedback control via a function.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the construction of a dam in a mountainous area, a cable is laid over a dam construction site in order to transport concrete, construction machinery, materials and the like for dam construction. A crane 1 is provided. In the illustrated example, a batcher plant 2 is provided on the right bank side, where concrete used for dam construction is manufactured. The concrete produced in the batcher plant 2 is mounted on a transfer car 3 which is movable along a bunker line, and is transported to a predetermined transport start position. At the transfer start position, a bucket landing table 4 is provided for transferring concrete mounted on the transfer car 3 to a transfer bucket (hereinafter simply referred to as a bucket) suspended by a cable crane.

That is, if the detected magnetic sine wave-like polarity change is converted into a square pulse, and the number of pulses per unit time is counted and calculated, the actual speed can be accurately obtained. It is desirable that the number of executions of the speed calculation be about four times per second. The accuracy of the distance measurement is preferably within ± (1 + 0.5 L) mm, where L (m) is the measurement length (drum circumference).

The transverse trolley 8 is provided with a hoisting line 16 along the direction of the main line 7. This hoisting cable 16

Hereinafter, an operation control method of the trolley 8 in the cable crane 1 will be described in detail.

In FIG. 3, when a predetermined amount of concrete is loaded from the batcher plant 2 to the transfer car 3, the transfer car 3 moves along the bunker line to the position of the bucket landing table 4. Bucket 1 waiting on transfer floor 3 from transfer car 3
When the concrete has been re-transferred to the transfer car 8, a signal of “loading completed” is transmitted from the transfer car 3, and the transfer car control computer 25 which has received the signal is received.
Sends this signal to the communication system computer 26 which controls the communication system,
Further transmits this signal to the crane control computer 27.

The transfer car 3 includes a bucket 1
8 is returned to the position of the batcher plant 2 when the transfer to the bucket 18 is completed, but when it is determined that the bucket 18 has moved away from the bucket 18 to a preset distance, a signal of “winding permission” is transmitted,
Similarly, it is sent to a crane control computer 27 via a transfer car control computer 25 and a communication system computer 26. The crane control computer 27 performs the hoisting operation of the cable crane 1 after confirming the signals of “loading completed” and “hoisting permitted”. The crane control is performed by a winch control computer 28 under the control of the crane control computer 27. That is, the winch control computer 28 converts the control value into a necessary control value (control voltage) based on a command from the crane control computer 27 and outputs the control value to the drive control device 15 for the hoist winch 20 and the traverse winch 11. The winch control computer 28 reads a change value of the magnetic scale provided on the winch drum through a detector dedicated to the magnetic scale, and performs predetermined filtering (removal of noise) and a two-phase pulse as a detection result. Is subjected to a primary conversion process such as converting the sign of the rotation direction and the number of pulses into the number of spindle rotations, and calculating the winch drum speed from the change value of the magnetic scale. Further, it is determined whether or not the electric motor 14 is operated based on the command value, and if it is necessary to change the control amount, the control amount is made to match the target value by feedback control.

The hoisting operation of the bucket 18 is performed by first performing a "ground-cutting" operation in which the bucket 18 is slightly wound up from the bucket landing platform 4, and then obstacles such as structures existing near the bucket landing platform 4 are operated. Perform the hoisting operation to a height that does not interfere. After confirming that the bottom surface of the bucket 18 is higher than all the obstacles, the traversing operation of the traversing trolley 8 (hereinafter, also referred to as forward operation or forward operation to be a transport process with an actual load) is started. .

Even when the trolley 8 starts moving forward, the bucket 18 does not move in synchronization with the trolley 8, and a relative speed difference occurs between the two, so that the bucket 18 starts to swing. . This swing of the bucket 18 can be regarded as a pendulum motion. That is, at the start of the trolley 8, the trolley 8 and the bucket 18 are stationary on the vertical line, and there is naturally no positional deviation or speed difference in the traverse direction. Once the trolley 8 is moved forward by acceleration,
It starts to move after a while and starts pendulum movement.

In the present invention, in order to converge the swing of the bucket 18 in a minimum time, the traveling speed of the traversing trolley is controlled continuously at a constant acceleration along a quadratic function curve with respect to the traveling distance. The resulting load swing is 1
At the end of the periodic pendulum motion, the vehicle moves to the constant speed traverse. The bucket 18 starts a pendulum motion rearward (starting side) slightly behind the start of the movement of the traversing trolley 8, and then increases its speed from the point where the delay width becomes maximum (at the time of maximum amplitude). It catches up faster than Trolley 8. During this time, the transverse trolley 8 is continuously accelerated at a constant acceleration along the quadratic function curve with respect to the moving distance, but the bucket 18 has just finished one cycle of the pendulum motion and has the maximum amplitude point on the opposite side. The moment the vehicle is located, the acceleration is set to 0 and the vehicle moves to the constant speed traverse. In addition, from the viewpoint of transportation efficiency, it is possible to detect the moment when the pendulum motion of one cycle is completed with the acceleration being arbitrary, and shift to the constant speed traverse. However, the speed at the time of the constant speed traverse is set to the target speed set in advance. It is desirable to set the acceleration in advance so that

[0035] The target speed, hoisting drive Z _U, and below the rated speed of the transverse drive unit X _U, the winding-up drive Z _U, the speed variation ratio of the transverse drive unit X _U, the velocity response characteristics and control accuracy, etc. Decide in consideration. For example, if the speed fluctuation rate is ± 10%, the target speed is 8 times the rated speed.
It may be set to about 5%.

On the other hand, the bucket 18 is located immediately below the vertical line of the trolley 8 at the moment when the trolley 8 shifts to a constant speed.
In addition, the speed as the pendulum motion is also zero. That is, when only the pendulum motion is focused on, the vehicle is stopped and the speed difference between the traversing trolley 8 and the bucket 18 is eliminated.

Hereinafter, the principle of the steady rest control of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when there is a relative speed difference between the trolley 8 and the bucket 18, The bucket 18 starts to swing by receiving an inertial force corresponding to the relative speed difference.

Now, assuming that the transverse trolley 8 is accelerating at a constant acceleration α, the central axes of the pendulum motion at this time are the horizontal component force acceleration α, and the vertical component force the gravity acceleration G. The direction is the direction opposite to the acceleration α. Note that the fulcrum of the pendulum is connected to the bucket 18 via a pulley.
Is suspended above the main rope 7 (hereinafter, this point is referred to as a virtual fulcrum). The position of the virtual fulcrum can be obtained by back calculation if the pendulum cycle of the bucket 18 is measured. As shown in FIG. 4, if the length S ′ of the virtual pendulum is determined, the length S of the pendulum is known by detecting the position of the hoisting rope 16, and thus the addition length dS is determined as an eigenvalue.

When the traversing trolley 8 is traversing at a certain acceleration, the center axis of the pendulum is O ', the center point of the pendulum is A, and the center axis of the pendulum is O'A .
It is represented by the following equation (1).

G ′ = O′A = (α ² + G ² ) ^1/2 (1) Here, G ′ is virtual gravity, and O′A is the actual pendulum center axis. The actual inclination θ ₀ of the central axis O′A of the pendulum is expressed by the following equation (2). θ ₀ = tan ⁻¹ (α / G) (2)

Attention is paid only to the movement of the bucket 18. At the moment when the trolley 8 starts to traverse, the bucket 18 is stationary and vertically below the virtual fulcrum O '. In order to receive the acceleration α from the start of the movement, a pendulum motion is performed with the virtual gravity axis O′A having a tilt of θ as the central axis. As shown in FIG. 8, when the virtual gravity axis O′A is regarded as a vertical axis, the pendulum starts to move from the maximum amplitude point (start point) on the right side, and then passes through the virtual gravity axis O′A to the opposite side. At the point of maximum amplitude of. The speed as a pendulum at this turning point is zero.

Thereafter, a return pendulum motion is performed, and
When the trolley 8 is set to have an acceleration of 0 at the moment when the cycle returns to the start point after the end of the cyclic movement of the cycle, that is, when the trolley 8 is shifted to the constant speed traverse, θ ₀ corresponding to the acceleration at this moment is obtained.
The line connecting the trolley 8 and the bucket 18 becomes the central axis of the pendulum motion. Also, at this moment,
Since the pendulum is also located at the point of maximum amplitude, the speed is also 0, and the moment the vehicle shifts to the constant speed traverse, the inclination of θ ₀ is lost and the vehicle passes the trolley 8 in the most stable state (stop state). Since the bucket 18 is located on the gravitational line, the bucket 18 does not swing and the pendulum motion is stopped. If the pendulum motion is stopped, there is no relative speed difference between the two, so that the pendulum moves along with the trolley 8 at a constant speed without swinging.

The motion cycle of the pendulum is given by the following equation (3), and is uniquely determined by the pendulum length S regardless of the bucket weight.

T = 2π (S ′ / (G ² + α ² ) ^1/2 )) ^1/2 (3) where S ′ is a virtual pendulum length, a virtual fulcrum is O ′, and a pendulum center point. It is the distance to A.

On the other hand, a motion equation for controlling the speed of the transverse trolley 8 can be derived by using the Newton's motion equation and modifying the motion equation while paying attention to the moving distance X and the acceleration α. As a result, the motion formula of the traversing trolley 8 becomes a constant acceleration motion formula having no initial speed, and is expressed by the following formulas (4) and (5).

X _a = １ ／ · α · t ² (4) V _a = α · t (5)

By substituting equation (5) into equation (4), the following equation (6) is obtained. X _a = V _a ² / 2α (6)

Focusing on the speed V, the equation (6) is given by the following equation (7)
Can be transformed into V _a = (2α · X _a ) ^1/2 (7)

Here, a control function (hereinafter referred to as acceleration)
If the control function) is k, k = 2α ^1/2Becomes
The equation (7) becomes the following equation (8). V_a= KX_a ^1/2 …… (8)

[0050] Thus, the velocity _{V a} rampant trolley 8 is a secondary function of the moving distance _{X a} rampant trolley 8. Here, the speed V _a of the transverse trolley 8 and the secondary function of the moving distance X _a is due to reasons of control. That is, in order to perform the feedback control, it is necessary to form a closed loop. If the moving distance Xa is used as _a control function, the position of the traversing trolley 8 can be grasped regardless of the time element, and the speed is controlled with respect to the moving distance. become able to. If the time T is plotted on the horizontal axis, the position of the traverse trolley 8 is not directly related to the control amount, so that the position of the traverse trolley 8 cannot be grasped. Therefore, the control system becomes an open loop and cannot perform feedback control. Would.

The velocity trajectory of the transverse trolley 8 during this acceleration, velocity trajectory and both relative distances P _b of the bucket 18
FIG. 7 schematically shows the locus of.

As described above, in order to eliminate the swing of the bucket 18, the traversing trolley 8 is continuously accelerated at a constant acceleration along a quadratic curve with respect to the moving distance from the start of the start, and the bucket 18 is moved by one cycle of the pendulum. It is sufficient to shift to the constant speed traverse at the moment when the operation is completed. The bucket 18 is swayed only by one cycle of the pendulum motion, and thereafter moves at a constant speed together with the trolley 8 without swaying. In other words, the trolley 8
Starts at speed 0, accelerates at a constant acceleration,
If the time to reach the target speed and the time to one cycle of the pendulum are matched, the bucket
Can be made to converge. The speed at the time of this acceleration is increased by a predetermined acceleration.
The actual speed is monitored, and if there is a difference from the set speed, it is corrected by feedback control.

Once the swing of the bucket 18 is converged, the bucket 18 does not swing even if the lowering is performed while traversing at the target speed. Therefore, the lowering is performed in parallel with the constant speed traversing.

During the constant speed traverse, the trolley 8 and the bucket 1
When a relative speed difference occurs between the first and second motors, a pendulum phenomenon occurs. If the bucket swings during the constant speed traverse, the below-described deceleration control cannot be performed. That is, in order to prevent the bucket 18 from swinging in the deceleration control, the condition is that the bucket 18 does not swing at the end of the constant speed traverse. In that sense, the constant speed traverse control of the trolley 8 during the constant speed traverse is important. The speed control of the traversing trolley 8
More specifically, the speed of the traverse trolley 8 is sampled at regular time intervals, and the data is subjected to calculations and converted into mathematical formulas using statistically processed data to obtain difference data between the speed detection data and the target speed. Feedback control of the traverse winch is performed via a fixed control function so that the difference in the speeds is eliminated. Control functions for the feedback control is set in accordance with the mechanical properties of the transverse drive unit X _U to be applied. And the mechanical properties, the gradient of GD 2 ^(flywheel effect or flywheel effect) capabilities and operating characteristics of the or brake, a main rope 7 for generating the terrain where it is installed as a cable crane traversing drive X _U's The characteristics refer to changes in the amount of deflection of the main rope 7 due to the gradient of the tension of the main rope 7 and the weight of the bucket 18.

Thereafter, when the vehicle traverses from the arrival target point to a position just before the deceleration distance, the lowering operation is immediately stopped.
The deceleration of the traversing trolley 8 is started.

When the trolley 8 is decelerated, the anti-sway control can be performed by a method exactly the same as the principle of acceleration. That is, when the vehicle enters the deceleration at a constant deceleration (negative acceleration) continuously from the constant speed traverse along the quadratic curve with respect to the moving distance, the bucket 18 advances forward of the traverse trolley 8 due to the inertial force and performs a pendulum motion. Start. Bucket 18
Receives the acceleration α in the direction opposite to the acceleration, and performs a pendulum motion centered on the virtual gravity axis O′A having an inclination of θ. After that, at the moment when the cycle motion of just one cycle is completed and the vehicle returns to the start point, the speed of the traversing trolley 8 is reduced to 0 (stop). At this moment, the inclination of θ ₀ minute corresponding to the deceleration amount is obtained. The line connecting the trolley 8 and the bucket 18 becomes the central axis of the pendulum motion. At this moment, since the pendulum is also located at the maximum amplitude point, the speed is also 0. At the moment when the pendulum is stopped, the inclination of θ ₀ is lost and the traversing trolley 8 which is in the most stable state (stop state). Since the bucket 18 is located on the line of gravity passing through the bucket 18, the swing of the bucket 18 is eliminated, and the pendulum motion is stopped. At the time of deceleration, the period of the pendulum becomes longer by the amount of lowering the bucket 18, so that the deceleration time becomes longer, and the deceleration distance becomes longer than the acceleration distance.

As described above, if the trolley 8 is decelerated in accordance with the above conditions, the bucket 18 can be stopped accurately without swinging right above the target point, and positioning with high accuracy is possible. Become. afterwards,
When the traversing trolley 8 stops, the lowering operation is started to the height of the concrete discharge point (immediately above the relay hopper 5). The height of the bucket stopped at the arrival point is
If the height from the surface that receives concrete (the concrete input surface of the relay hopper 5) is within 1 m, there is no need to correct the lowering operation. However, if it is 2 m or more, the set height position is further increased. Roll it down. Then, when the height from the concrete receiving surface becomes within 1 m, the concrete is started to be discharged. At this time, the load on the main rope 7 decreases with the release of concrete,
The amount of deflection of the main rope 7 decreases, and the main rope 7 tends to jump up to a no-load state. For this reason, many correction lowering operations are performed during the concrete discharge, particularly immediately after the concrete discharge. These lowering and hoisting operations are performed based on signals from a communication system disposed in the relay hopper 5 shown in FIG.

The operation procedure from the bucket landing table 4 to the arrival target point and the method of controlling the speed of the traversing trolley 8 have been described in detail, but the speed (Vt) of the traversing trolley 8 between the bucket landing table 4 and the arrival target point is described. FIG. 9 shows the trajectory, the velocity (Vb) trajectory of the bucket 18, and the relative distance (Pb) trajectory of both. FIG. 10 shows the hoisting trajectory and the lowering trajectory in the acceleration section, the constant speed section and the deceleration section together with the speed of the traversing trolley 8.

When all the concrete mounted on the bucket 18 has been discharged, the return process from the target point to the starting position is started with an empty load. Also in this return path process, the same speed control of the traversing trolley 8 as in the forward path is performed to prevent the bucket 18 from swinging.

First, the winding operation is started, the length of the pendulum is shortened, and the cycle time of the pendulum is shortened. When the pendulum length is reduced to some extent, the movement of the traversing trolley 8 is started. When the bucket 18 reaches just above the departure position, the bucket 18 is lowered to land on the bucket landing table 4.

In this embodiment, the speed of the trolley 8 is increased while keeping the pendulum length constant on the outward path, the lowering operation is stopped before the deceleration operation is started, and the hoisting operation is terminated on the return path. The trolley 8 starts moving after a while, but when these are lowered (or accelerated) while being lowered (or hoisted), the period of the pendulum changes to change in the amount of lowering (hoisting). The calculation on the program for finding the acceleration / deceleration that changes proportionally and makes it possible to match the time of one cycle of the pendulum with the deceleration time required for stopping the traversing trolley 8 (the acceleration time for increasing the speed to the target speed) becomes complicated. This is because the control delay is caused by the calculation time. Therefore, if this point is taken into account in the acceleration / deceleration calculation program, the lowering operation (the hoisting operation) and the deceleration operation (the acceleration operation) can be performed in parallel.

[0062]

As described above, according to the present invention, the swing of a suspended load such as a bucket suspended from a traverse trolley during acceleration / deceleration can be stopped in a minimum time.
As a result, positioning with high accuracy is possible.
