Description

  The present invention provides a travel rail laid in a predetermined direction (for example, east-west direction) in a horizontal plane, and a travel motor that is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the travel rail (for example, the north-south direction) and that travels along the travel rail. The present invention relates to an operation control device for a traveling crane provided with a traverse rail (garter) that moves, a traverse motor that traverses along the traverse rail, and an electric hoisting machine that includes a lifting motor for hoisting and lowering a load. .

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic external configuration example of the traveling crane. The traveling crane 100 is disposed in traveling directions 101 and 101 laid in a predetermined direction (for example, east-west direction) in a horizontal plane of the building ceiling, and in a direction (for example, north-south direction) orthogonal to the traveling rails 101 and 101. A traverse rail (garter) 102 that moves on the travel rails 101, 101 by a geared motor (travel motor) 103, a traverse motor 104 that traverses along the traverse rail 102, and a lifting motor 105 that lifts and lowers the load. The electric hoist 106 is provided.

  In the traveling crane 100, an operation casing 107 is connected to the electric hoist 106 by a cable 108 or the like. For example, “East”, “West”, “South”, “North”, “Up”, and “Down” push button switches are attached to the operation casing 107. By operating the push buttons of “East”, “West”, “South”, and “North”, the electric hoisting machine 106 travels in the east-west direction along the traveling rails 101, 101, It is designed to ramp up along the north-south direction.

It is necessary to search from the pushbutton switches “East”, “West”, “South”, “North”, “Up”, and “Down”. Further, when the electric hoist 106 is operated in both traveling and traversing directions, it is necessary to simultaneously press two push button switches. In addition, there is a problem that fine speed control of running, traversing and winding up and down cannot be performed.

A load hanging hook 206 is fixed to the tip of the support wire rope 205 wound up by the electric hoist 204. From the electric hoist 204, a communication cable 207 that is bent but not twisted hangs down to the vicinity of the floor surface. An operation casing 210 is connected to the lower end of the communication cable 207 via a rotatable connection 209.

An operation switch 211 of a two-stage push button is provided on the front surface of the operation casing 210, and an up (up) and down (down) switch is provided up and down. When the operation switch 211 is pressed, an X-axis motor and a Y-axis The motor is activated, and the electric hoist 204 moves horizontally in the direction in which the operation casing 210 faces, that is, the direction opposite to the front of the operation casing 210. Therefore, the operator presses the switch without looking at the hand and adjusts the direction of the operation casing 210 while looking at the moving direction of the transported object that is hung on the load hanging hook 206 and moves in a desired direction. The conveyed product can be moved in parallel.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an external configuration example of the operating device control circuit unit of the traveling crane operation control device according to the present invention. FIG. 3A is an overall external configuration example of the operating device control circuit unit, and FIG. ) Shows a plan configuration example of the travel / transverse determination push button switch. The operation device control circuit unit 10 includes an operation housing 11 formed of a hexahedron whose plane, front, and side are rectangular. An arrow A indicating the tip direction of the casing is attached to the upper surface of the operation casing 11. Further, a power push button switch 12 for turning on / off the power, a travel / transverse determination push button switch 13 for determining travel and traverse, and a reset push button switch 14 are attached to the upper surface of the operation casing 11, and the hoisting and lowering is disposed on the rear surface.

An acceleration sensor 16 for detecting the tilt direction (upper or lower) and the tilt angle is attached.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the overall system configuration of the traveling crane operation control apparatus according to the present invention. The traveling crane operation control device includes an operation device control circuit unit 10 and a motor drive control circuit unit 30. The controller device control circuit unit 10 includes a command signal generation unit 21 and a communication unit 22. The motor drive control circuit unit 30 includes a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, a travel inverter 33, a traverse inverter 34, and a lift inverter 35. The electronic components and devices that constitute the command signal generation unit 21 and the communication unit 22 of the operation device control circuit unit 10 are mounted in the operation housing 11, and the communication unit 31 and the control unit 32 of the motor drive control circuit unit 30 are configured. The electronic parts and devices to be mounted are mounted on the electric hoist (see the electric hoist 106 in FIG. 1 and the electric hoist 204 in FIG. 2).

The command signal generation unit 21 of the controller control circuit unit 10 includes a vertical tilt direction detection signal S ₁₆ a and a tilt angle detection signal S ₁₆ b of the operation housing 11 detected by the acceleration sensor 16, a travel / transverse determination push button. Travel / transverse determination speed signal S ₁₃ , travel / transverse speed signal SV ₁₃ when switch 13 is pressed, elevating determination signal S ₁₅ by pressing operation of elevating determination pushbutton switch ₁₅ , reset by pressing operation of reset pushbutton switch 14 A signal S ₁₄ and an operation case direction detection signal S _{17 for} detecting a direction (operation case direction) of the operation case 11 detected by the gyro sensor 17 are input. The travel / transverse determination push button switch 13 is, for example, a pressure-sensitive rubber (resisting according to the pressing force) so that a signal having a magnitude corresponding to the pressing force pressing the end portions 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d can be output. A push button switch using a rubber material whose value changes).

The running-traverse decision speed signal S ₁₃ has four depending on which end of the end portion is pressed, different travel decision signal and the speed of the different direction of travel in accordance with the pressing force of the running and traverse decision pushbutton switch 13 A signal is output. That is, the end portion 13a is traveling determination signal to S ₁₃ a and its speed signal SV (arrow direction a in FIG. 3 (b)) pressed engineered if the operation housing 11 of the tip facing action being housing direction ₁₃ a, when the end portion 13 b is pressed, the travel determination signal S ₁₃ b and its speed signal SV ₁₃ b in the left direction (arrow b direction in FIG. 3B) orthogonal to the operation casing direction traveling determination signal S ₁₃ c and its speed signal SV ₁₃ c to (arrow c direction in FIG. 3 (b)) if the part 13c is pressed right direction orthogonal to the operation housing direction, the end portion 13d is pressed When operated, a travel determination signal S ₁₃ d and its speed signal SV ₁₃ d in the direction opposite to the direction of the operation casing (the direction of arrow d in FIG. 3B) are output.

Command signal generator 21 receives the vertical inclination direction detecting signal S ₁₆ a and the inclination angle detection signal S ₁₆ b from the lifting decision signal (winding up and down up determination signal) S ₁₅ and the acceleration sensor 16 from the lifting decision pushbutton switch 15 elevation command signal and the elevation speed command signal, a reset signal by receiving a reset signal S ₁₄ from the reset pushbutton switch 14 to generate respectively Te. Further, the command signal generator 21, by the travel determination signal S ₁₃ a and the speed signal SV ₁₃ a from the operation casing direction detecting signal S ₁₇ and the travel-traverse decision pushbutton switch 13 from the gyro sensor 17 in the direction of arrow a The travel command signal and the speed signal, the operation casing direction signal, the travel determination signal S ₁₃ b, and the speed signal SV ₁₃ b are used to generate the travel command signal and the speed command signal in the direction of the arrow b, and the operation casing direction signal and the travel determination signal. S ₁₃ a travel command signal and the speed command signal for the c and the velocity signal of arrow c direction by the SV ₁₃ c, by the operation casing direction detecting signal S ₁₇ traveling determination signal S ₁₃ d and the speed signal SV ₁₃ d of the arrow d direction The travel command signal and the speed command signal are respectively generated. The command signals generated by the command signal generation unit 21 are transmitted to the communication unit 31 of the motor drive control circuit unit 30 via the communication unit 22.

  The communication unit 31 includes the elevation command signal and the elevation speed signal from the controller control circuit unit 10, a travel command signal in the direction indicated by arrows a, b, c, and d (see FIG. 3B) and its speed command signal. In response, the signal is output to the control unit 32. The control unit 32 receives a travel command signal and a speed command signal in the directions indicated by arrows a, b, c, and d (see FIG. 3B), a lift command signal and a lift speed command signal, and an activation signal for the travel motor 41. And the speed signal, the start signal and speed signal of the traverse motor 42, and the start signal and speed signal of the lift motor 43 are generated to start the travel inverter 33, the traverse inverter 34, and the lift inverter 35. As a result, electric power is supplied from the travel inverter 33, the traverse inverter 34, and the lift inverter 35 to the travel motor 41, the traverse motor 42, and the lift motor 43, respectively, and the travel motor 41, the traverse motor 42, and the lift motor 43 are activated. The traveling crane travels and traverses at a speed set in the direction indicated by arrows a, b, c, and d (see FIG. 3B), and the elevating motor 43 is moved up and down at a speed set in a designated direction ( Wind up and down). At this time, if the tilt angle in the vertical direction of the operation casing 11 changes, the lifting / lowering speed (winding vertical speed) also changes accordingly. In addition, the travel speed and the traverse speed are also changed by changing the pressing force at each end of the travel / traverse determination push button switch 13.

As described above, the travel motor 41, the traverse motor 42, and the lift motor 43 are activated to start the travel / traverse speed determination signal S13 by the pressing operation of the travel / traverse determination pushbutton switch ₁₃ , and the lift determination signal S15 by the lift determination pushbutton switch _15. The traveling crane travels and traverses only when the operator changes the direction of the operation casing 11 in the horizontal plane and the vertical inclination in order to move and hoist the traveling crane. Then, the raising / lowering (winding / lowering) operation is performed. That is, even if the operator inadvertently displaces the operation casing 11 within the horizontal plane or changes the vertical inclination, the traveling crane travels as long as the travel / transverse determination pushbutton switch 13 and the elevation determination pushbutton switch 15 are not pressed. Traversing and hoisting / lowering operations are not performed, and safety can be maintained. The command signal generation unit 21 of the controller device control circuit unit 10 and the control unit 32 of the motor drive control circuit unit 30 are each configured by a microcomputer. Further, as the signal transmission means of the communication unit 22 and the communication unit 31, signal transmission by wire and signal transmission by radio such as radio waves and light are used.

  Here, detection of the up / down tilt direction and the tilt angle of the operation casing 11 by the acceleration sensor 16 will be described. When the operation casing 11 to which the acceleration sensor 16 is attached is tilted by the angle θ, as shown in FIG. 5, a decomposition component g · sin θ of the gravitational acceleration g is applied in the attachment direction of the acceleration sensor 16. Therefore, a value corresponding to g · sin θ is output as a voltage as the output of the acceleration sensor 16. Here, when the angle θ changes from 0 to π / 2, the value of sin θ changes from 0.0 to 1.0, and the most inclined θ = g · sin θ becomes equal to 1 g. Since the output of the acceleration sensor 16 is output as a voltage value as described above, an output serving as a reference is obtained by obtaining a change width until the operation casing 11 is vertically arranged with reference to the output voltage value when the operation casing 11 is leveled. Get the voltage value. Then, the difference between the current output voltage of the acceleration sensor 16 and the reference value is obtained, and this value is converted into an angle using an inverse sine, so that the converted angle becomes the current tilt angle of the operation casing 11.

  Next, detection of the direction (operation casing direction) in which the tip of the operation casing 11 faces by the gyro sensor 17 will be described. The gyro sensor includes a vibration type, a mechanical type, an optical type, a fluid type, and the like. Any of the above gyro sensors can be used for the operation control device of the traveling crane, but a piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor is often used for reasons such as small size and mass production. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing the principle of the piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor. FIG. 7A shows a stationary state and FIG. 7B shows a rotating state. The piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor 18 includes a vibrator 18a made of a piezoelectric element, and is driven to vibrate as indicated by an arrow C when stationary. When an angular velocity ω with the axis as the center of rotation is applied to the vibrator 18a during rotation, Coriolis force acts in a direction perpendicular to the arrow C as shown by an arrow D, and charges 18b are generated in the vibrator 18a. By detecting this electric charge 18b, the angular velocity ω is detected. Thus, since the piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor 18 is a sensor that detects the angular velocity ω, it is sometimes called an angular velocity sensor.

The piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor (angular velocity sensor) 18 is installed as a gyro sensor 17 at a predetermined position in the operation casing 11. Then, the arrow A of the operation housing 11 is set in a predetermined direction (for example, set in the east-west direction, which is the traveling direction), and the reset push button switch 14 provided in the operation housing 11 (FIG. 3 ( By pressing (a), the initial setting of the gyro sensor 17 and the accumulated error are erased. Output from the reset point, the command signal generating unit 21 an angular velocity ω detected by the gyro sensor 17 (piezoelectric vibration gyro sensor 18) as the operation casing direction detecting signal S _17. The command signal generation unit 21 indicates how much the operation casing 11 has rotated in the horizontal direction from the predetermined direction (east direction) based on the operation casing direction detection signal S ₁₇ and the elapsed time (integration of the angular velocity ω). Calculation is performed to determine the direction in which the arrow A of the operation casing 11 faces.

The arrow A of the operation casing 11 is directed to the east direction (traveling direction), for example, and the reset push button switch 14 is pressed to erase the initial setting and accumulated error of the gyro sensor 17, and then the cross-shaped travel / transverse determination push button When the end portion 13a of the switch 13 is pressed, the command signal generating unit 21 outputs a travel command signal that causes the travel motor 41 to travel in the east direction (forward rotation), and when the end portion 13b is pressed, the traverse motor 42 is moved in the north direction (forward direction). When the end portion 13c is pressed, the traverse command signal for traversing the traverse motor 42 in the south direction (reverse) is operated. When the end portion 13d is pressed, the travel motor 41 is moved west (reverse) Each of the travel command signals for causing the vehicle to travel is generated. When the arrow A of the operation casing 11 is shifted from the east direction, the gyro sensor 17 detects the angular velocity ω and outputs it to the command signal generation unit 21 as the operation casing direction detection signal S ₁₇ . The command signal generation unit 21 calculates a deviation angle from the east direction from the command signal generation unit 21 and the elapsed time (integration of the angular velocity ω), and the rotation direction (travel direction) of the travel motor 41 and the traversing motor 42 according to the angle direction. , The transverse direction) and the rotation speed are calculated, and the command signal is generated.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the operation casing 11 is rotated to the north side by θ ° horizontally from the east direction (reference direction) and the end portion 13 a of the cross-shaped travel / transverse determination pushbutton switch 13 is pressed, The signal generator 21 generates a travel command signal that causes the travel motor 41 to travel in the east direction (forward rotation), generates a traverse command signal that causes the traverse motor 42 to travel in the north direction (reverse rotation). The ratio of the rotational speed (speed) of the traversing motor 42 to the rotational speed (speed) is controlled to be Vacos θ: Vasin θ. Here, Va indicates a speed signal corresponding to the pressing force for pressing the end portion 13a of the push button switch 13.

In the traveling crane operation control device described above, as the travel / transverse determination pushbutton switch 13, the arrows 13 a, 13 b, 13 c, and 13 d are pressed by a cross-shaped pushbutton switch as shown in FIG. Travel determination signal S ₁₃ a in the direction a, speed signal SV ₁₃ a, travel determination signal S ₁₃ b in the direction of arrow b, speed signal SV ₁₃ b, travel determination signal S ₁₃ c in the direction of arrow c, speed signal SV ₁₃ c, showed a push button switch that outputs a driving determination signal S ₁₃ d, the speed signal SV ₁₃ d of the arrow d direction. However, the travel / transverse determination switch is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the front and (b) planes, the lever-equipped travel / transverse determination switch 50 is provided. By using a so-called joystick type switch that can instruct the traveling direction by tilting the lever 51 in the directions indicated by arrows a, b, c, and d and output a speed signal according to the tilt angle of the lever 51. Also good.

Then, by tilting the lever 51 in the direction of the arrow a, the direction of the arrow b, the direction of the arrow c, and the direction of the arrow d, the travel determination signal S ₁₃ a and the speed signal SV _{13 in the} direction of the arrow a are determined according to the tilt direction and the tilt angle. a, travel determination signal S ₁₃ b in the direction of arrow b, speed signal SV ₁₃ b, travel determination signal S ₁₃ c in the direction of arrow c, speed signal SV ₁₃ c, travel determination signal S ₁₃ d in the direction of arrow d, The speed signal SV ₁₃ d may be output. The travel / transverse determination pushbutton switch 13 is basically the travel determination signals S _{13 a to} S in the directions of arrows a, b, c, and d depending on the operation casing direction detected by the operation casing direction detecting means such as the gyro sensor 17. ₁₃ d, as long as it can output a speed signal SV ₁₃ a~SV ₁₃ d.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the acceleration sensor 16 is used as the operation case inclination detection unit that detects the vertical inclination direction and the inclination angle of the operation case 11 has been described. It is not limited to an acceleration sensor as long as it can detect a direction and an inclination angle. Moreover, although the example which uses the gyro sensor 17 as an operation housing | casing direction detection means to detect the direction which the operation housing | casing 11 faces in the horizontal surface was shown, the direction which the operation housing 11 faces in the horizontal surface can be detected. If there is, it is not limited to a gyro sensor.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible. Note that any shape or material not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the effects and advantages of the present invention are achieved. For example, although an acceleration sensor is used as the tilt direction / angle detection means, the method is not limited to the acceleration sensor as long as the tilt direction and tilt angle of the operation casing can be detected. Moreover, although the example which detects the direction in the horizontal surface of an operation housing | casing with the gyro sensor was shown, if the direction in the horizontal surface of an operation housing can be detected, it will not be limited to a gyro sensor.
