JP 2006-256828 A (page 2-3, FIG. 6 to FIG. 9)

  However, in the conventional telescopic boom, the distal end of the telescopic boom main body 306 is used to supply pressure oil to the expansion-side pressure oil supply port and the contraction-side pressure oil supply port of the piston rod base end 311a in the two-stage telescopic cylinder 308 on the distal end side. It is necessary to connect one end of an oil supply hose to the tip of the side boom 305 and attach a hose reel that winds or sends the other end of the oil supply hose to a machine body such as a crane to which the telescopic boom is attached. In particular, when the telescopic boom has a large telescopic length, it is necessary to use a large hose reel, which increases the cost of the accessory device.

  Such a problem occurs not only in a double-acting multistage cylinder but also in a case of a three-stage telescopic boom in which two double-acting single-stage cylinders are arranged in a telescopic boom body.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and the object of the present invention is to improve the pressure oil supply path of two double-acting multi-stage cylinders arranged in the telescopic boom body, and to refuel like a conventional one. The hose and hose reel will be abolished, and the telescopic boom that can reduce the cost of the attached device will be provided.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to disposing one or a plurality of intermediate booms as a telescopic boom between a proximal boom and a distal boom, and sequentially fitting these booms in a telescopic manner. A telescopic boom main body, and two double-acting multistage cylinders arranged in the telescopic boom main body to extend and contract the telescopic boom main body, each double-acting multistage cylinder includes a piston rod, Formed between a plurality of cylinder tubes that are concentrically and telescopically fitted to the outer periphery of the piston rod and between the bottom of each cylinder tube and the end surface of the cylinder tube or piston rod that fits inside the cylinder tube Between the plurality of extension-side pressure chambers and the inner peripheral surface of each cylinder tube and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder tube or piston rod fitted inside thereof. A plurality of contraction-side pressure chambers formed at the base end of the piston rod, an extension-side pressure oil supply port communicating with the respective extension-side pressure chambers, and a base end of the piston rod. It is assumed that it has a compression side pressure oil supply port communicating with the compression side pressure chamber. The two double-acting multistage cylinders are positioned in the telescopic boom body with the proximal end of the piston rod facing the root side of the telescopic boom body and on the root side and the distal end side of the telescopic boom body. state in which while positioned in a state of displacement, the piston rod of the root side of the outermost cylinder tube and the distal end side of the double-acting multistage cylinder double-acting multistage cylinder and overlap axially telescopic boom body Attach to the middle boom of the telescopic boom body. Further, the expansion side pressure chamber formed between the bottom of the outermost cylinder tube in the double side multi-stage cylinder on the base side and the cylinder tube fitted to the inside thereof is connected to the double side multi-stage cylinder on the tip side. Cylinder that is connected to the expansion side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston rod via the first communication pipe, and is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the outermost cylinder tube and the inner side in the base-side double-acting multistage cylinder The compression-side pressure chamber formed between the outer peripheral surface of the tube is configured to communicate with the compression-side pressure oil supply port at the proximal end of the piston rod of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the distal end side via the second communication pipe. .

  In this configuration, when pressure oil is supplied from the expansion-side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston rod base end of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side when the telescopic boom body is extended, the pressure oil is supplied to each double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side. The first communication from the extension-side pressure chamber formed between the bottom of the outermost cylinder tube and the cylinder tube fitted inside the double-action multistage cylinder on the root side flows into the extension-side pressure chamber. It is supplied to the expansion side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston rod of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side through a pipe, and further from this pressure oil supply port to each expansion-side pressure chamber of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side. Inflow. For this reason, the double-acting multistage cylinder on the root side and the double-acting multistage cylinder on the distal end side in the telescopic boom main body both extend, and the telescopic boom main body extends in accordance with this expansion.

  On the other hand, when pressure oil is supplied from the compression-side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston lot of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side when the telescopic boom body is contracted, the pressure oil is supplied to each contraction side of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side. It flows into the pressure chamber, and from the contraction side pressure chamber formed between the inner peripheral surface of the outermost cylinder tube and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder tube fitted inside the double-acting multistage cylinder on the root side. 2 is supplied to the compression-side pressure oil supply port at the proximal end of the piston rod of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side through the communication pipe 2, and further from each pressure side of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side. Flows into the pressure chamber. For this reason, both the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the base side and the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side in the telescopic boom main body perform the contracting operation, and the telescopic boom main body contracts in accordance with the contracting operation.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the first communication pipe is provided with a switching valve for switching between communication and cutoff. In this configuration, for example, when the switching valve is first switched to the shut-off position when the telescopic boom body is extended, only the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the base side performs the expansion operation, and then when the switching valve is switched to the communication position, Doshiki pressure oil from the extension-side pressure chamber of the multi-stage cylinder distal end side of the double-acting multistage cylinder extending inlet to the distal end side toward the pressure chamber of the double acting multi cylinder through the first communicating pipe to the expansion operation. As a result, the telescopic boom main body first extends between the proximal boom and the intermediate boom, and then extends between the distal boom and the intermediate boom, and extends on the proximal boom side and the distal boom side. The boom can be switched.

The invention according to claim 2 is the telescopic boom according to claim 1, the telescopic boom body and the piston rod of the root side of the double-acting multistage cylinder the cylinder tube and the tip end of the double-acting multistage cylinder is attached The intermediate boom and the intermediate boom or the proximal boom that is fitted to the outside of the intermediate boom are further provided with fixing means for fixing both booms in a state where they are extended by relative movement. In this configuration, for example, prior to the contraction of the telescopic boom main body, the booms are fixed by the fixing means in a state where the intermediate boom of the telescopic boom main body and the intermediate boom or the base end boom fitted to the outside of the intermediate boom are extended by relative movement. In this state, if pressure oil is supplied from the compression side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston lot of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side, the pressure oil will be compressed on the contraction side pressure of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side. flows into the contraction side pressure chamber of the chamber and the distal end side of the double-acting multistage cylinder, but the root side of the double-acting multistage cylinder, and an intermediate boom or boom base fitted with intermediate boom to the outside tension Since it is fixed, it cannot be contracted, and only the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the tip side expands and contracts. Thereafter, when the fixing by the fixing means is released, only the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side expands and contracts. As a result, the telescopic boom body first contracts between the distal boom and the intermediate boom, then contracts between the proximal boom and the intermediate boom, and then expands and contracts sequentially on the proximal boom side and the distal boom side. Can be performed reliably.

The invention according to claim 3 provides a preferred form of the fixing means in the telescopic boom according to claim 2 . That is, the fixing means includes a pin hole provided at the base end portion of the intermediate boom of the telescopic boom body to which the cylinder tube of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the root side and the piston rod of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the distal end side are attached. A fixing pin inserted from the inside of the telescopic boom main body into a pin hole provided at the distal end portion of the intermediate boom or proximal boom that is fitted to the outside of the intermediate boom, a hydraulic cylinder that moves the fixing pin forward and backward, and the hydraulic pressure A hydraulic circuit for supplying pressure oil for driving the cylinder from the extension side hydraulic chamber of the double acting cylinder on the base side and returning the return oil from the hydraulic cylinder to the contraction side hydraulic chamber of the double action cylinder on the base side; It is set as the structure which has.

In this configuration, the intermediate boom of the telescopic boom body to which the cylinder tube of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the root side and the piston rod of the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side are attached, and the intermediate boom or the base end that fits outside When the boom is extended by relative movement, the pin hole provided in the intermediate boom matches the pin hole provided in the intermediate boom or the proximal boom. When the fixing pin is inserted by moving forward and backward by the hydraulic cylinder, the intermediate boom and the intermediate boom or the proximal boom that is fitted to the outside of the intermediate boom can be reliably fixed. Moreover, since the fixing pin and the hydraulic cylinder are provided inside the telescopic boom body, a member for protecting them is not particularly required. The hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic cylinder, pressure oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinder from the extension-side oil pressure chamber of the base side of the double-acting multistage cylinder and compression-side return oil base side of the double-acting multistage cylinder from the hydraulic cylinder Since it is returned to the hydraulic chamber, a dedicated pressure oil source is not required.

As described above, according to the telescopic boom of the present invention, the extension-side pressure chambers and the contraction-side pressure chambers of the two double-acting multistage cylinders in the telescopic boom body are respectively connected to the first communication pipe and the second communication pipe. Two double-acting multistage cylinders can be expanded and contracted simply by supplying pressure oil from the expansion-side pressure oil supply port or the contraction-side pressure oil supply port at the base end of the piston rod of the double-acting multistage cylinder on the base side. Since the telescopic boom body is configured to expand and contract by this expansion and contraction operation, a conventional oil supply hose for supplying pressure oil to the double-acting multi-stage cylinder on the distal end side and the winding thereof, etc. The hose reel can be abolished, and the cost of the attached device can be reduced and the installation work can be simplified.

In addition, by switching between communication and blocking by the switching valve provided in the first communication pipe, when the telescopic boom body is extended, it first extends between the proximal boom and the intermediate boom, and then between the distal boom and the intermediate boom. Therefore, it is possible to switch the boom extending between the proximal boom side and the distal boom side, thereby contributing to the stabilization of a machine body such as a crane to which the telescopic boom is attached.

In particular, in the invention according to claim 2 , when the telescopic boom main body is reduced by fixing and releasing the intermediate boom of the telescopic boom main body and the intermediate boom fitted to the outside or the proximal boom in the extended state by the fixing means. First, it contracts between the front boom and the intermediate boom, and then contracts between the base boom and the intermediate boom. It also has the effect that it can contribute to the stabilization of the aircraft such as a crane to which the machine is attached.

In the invention according to claim 3 , it is possible to securely fix the intermediate boom of the telescopic boom body and the intermediate boom or the base end boom fitted to the outside by the fixing means including a fixing pin and a hydraulic cylinder. In addition, since the fixing pin and the hydraulic cylinder of the fixing means are provided inside the telescopic boom body, no special member is required to protect them, and the hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic cylinder has a dedicated pressure oil source. This is advantageous for implementation.

To do. The pressure oil that has flowed into the first contraction-side pressure chamber 17 of the root-side two-stage telescopic cylinder 7 flows from the base-side two-stage telescopic cylinder 7 through the second communication pipe 65 to the tip-side two-stage telescopic cylinder. 8 is supplied to the contraction-side pressure oil supply port 23 of the base end wall member 11c of the piston rod 11 in the first and second contraction-side pressure chambers 17 of the two-stage telescopic cylinder 8 on the distal end side. , 16 in the same manner.

  At this time, pressure oil remains in the first and second extension-side pressure chambers 15 and 14 of the two-stage expansion cylinders 7 and 8, respectively, and acts as a load pressure. The load pressure of the first extension side pressure chamber 15 is larger than that of the second extension side pressure chamber 14, and the load pressure of the second extension side pressure chamber 14 of the two-stage telescopic cylinder 8 on the tip side is Since it becomes larger than that of the first extension side pressure chamber 15 of the two-stage telescopic cylinder 7, first, in the two-stage telescopic cylinder 7 on the base side, the second cylinder tube 12 is proximal to the proximal end side of the piston rod 11. The first cylinder tube 13 is then reduced so as to move relative to the proximal end side from the distal end side of the second cylinder tube 12, and then the two-stage telescopic cylinder 8 on the distal end side. In the same 2 the cylinder tube 12, reduced in the order of the first cylinder tube 13. By such a reduction operation, the telescopic boom body 6 is reduced in the order of the second-stage boom 2, the third-stage boom 3, the fourth-stage boom 4, and the fifth-stage boom 5 closer to the root, and finally in FIG. The state is reduced to four stages as shown.

  Thus, in the above-described five-stage telescopic boom A, the expansion-side pressure oil supply port 22 or the contraction-side pressure oil supply of the base end wall material 11c of the piston rod 11 in the base-side two-stage expansion cylinder 7 in the telescopic boom body 6 is provided. By simply supplying pressure oil from the port 23, the two two-stage telescopic cylinders 7 and 8 in the telescopic boom body 6 both expand and contract, and the telescopic boom body 6 expands and contracts in four stages by this telescopic operation. Therefore, an oil supply hose for supplying pressure oil to the two-stage telescopic cylinder 8 on the tip side as in the prior art and a hose reel for winding it up are not necessary, and they can be eliminated. It is possible to reduce the cost of the attached device and simplify the attachment work.

  Moreover, in the case of the present embodiment, when the telescopic boom body 6 is extended, the distal end is extended in the order of the fifth-stage boom 5, the fourth-stage boom 4, the third-stage boom 3, and the second-stage boom. Since the second-stage boom 2, the third-stage boom 3, the fourth-stage boom 4, the fifth-stage boom 5, and the fifth-stage boom 5 that are closer to the root are sometimes reduced in this order, the center of gravity movement associated with the expansion and contraction of the telescopic boom body 6 is made as small as possible. It is possible to contribute to stabilization of a machine body such as a crane to which the five-stage telescopic boom A is attached.

  Further, the telescopic boom B includes the second-stage boom 102 of the telescopic boom main body 104 to which the cylinder tube 113 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 107 on the base side and the piston rod 111 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side are attached. A fixing means 150 is provided for fixing both the booms 101 and 102 in a state where the basic boom 101 fitted to the outside of the second stage boom 102 is extended by relative movement, and the fixing means 150 is as shown in FIG. When the second-stage boom 102 of the telescopic boom body 104 is extended with respect to the basic boom 101, the first pin hole 151 provided at the proximal end portion of the second-stage boom 102 and the second pin provided at the distal end portion of the basic boom 101.

The hydraulic circuit 157 includes a hydraulic pump 161 serving as a hydraulic source, and pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 161 is supplied to either the first hydraulic chamber 155 or the second hydraulic chamber 156 of the hydraulic cylinder 154 via the oil passage 162 or 163. And an electromagnetic switching valve 165 for supplying hydraulic oil to one side and returning hydraulic oil to the tank 164 from the other. The electromagnetic switching valve 165 supplies hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 161 via an oil passage 162 to a hydraulic cylinder. The first position a is supplied to the first hydraulic chamber 155 and the hydraulic oil in the second hydraulic chamber 156 is returned to the tank 164, and the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 161 is supplied to the second hydraulic cylinder 154 via the oil passage 163. The position can be switched between a second position b for supplying hydraulic oil to the hydraulic chamber 156 and returning the hydraulic oil in the first hydraulic chamber 155 to the tank 164, and a blocking position c for blocking the supply and discharge of pressure oil.

  Next, the telescopic operation of the three-stage telescopic boom B will be described. Now, as shown in FIG. 8, the telescopic boom body 104 is in a contracted state, and two one-stage telescopic booms in the telescopic boom body 104 are provided. Both cylinders 107 and 108 are in a contracted state. The electromagnetic switching valve 143 in the telescopic boom body 104 is in the shut-off position b, the two switching valves 132 and 165 outside the telescopic boom body 104 are both in the shut-off position c, and the hydraulic cylinder 154 of the fixing means 150 is fixed. The pin 153 is in a state of being retracted out of the telescopic boom body 104.

  When the telescopic boom body 104 is extended from such a reduced state, first, when the switching valve 132 is switched from the shut-off position c to the first position a, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 131 passes through the oil passage 133 to the first stage on the root side. The expansion cylinder 107 is supplied to the expansion side pressure oil supply port 121 at the base end of the piston rod 111 of the expansion cylinder 107. Inflow. As a result, the first-stage telescopic cylinder 107 on the root side performs an extending operation, and the telescopic boom body 104 extends the second-stage boom 102 relative to the basic boom 101. In a state where the second-stage boom 102 is extended by a predetermined length, the first pin hole 151 at the base end portion of the second-stage boom 102 and the second pin hole 152 at the distal end portion of the basic boom 101 coincide with each other. When the solenoid valve 165 of the hydraulic circuit 157 of the fixing means 150 is switched from the cutoff position c to the first position a after returning the switching valve 132 to the cutoff position c and stopping the extension of the second-stage boom 102, the hydraulic pump 161 Is supplied to the first hydraulic chamber 155 of the hydraulic cylinder 154 via the oil passage 162, and the fixed pin 153 is moved forward by the hydraulic cylinder 154, and the first pin hole 151, the second pin hole 152, Thus, the basic boom 101 and the second-stage boom 102 of the telescopic boom body 104 are fixed in an extended state.

  Subsequently, by switching the electromagnetic switching valve 143 in the telescopic boom body 104 to the communication position a, the expansion side pressure chamber 114 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 107 on the root side and the expansion side pressure chamber of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side. 114 is in communication with the first communication pipe 141 and the extension-side oil passage 118 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side, and when the switching valve 132 is switched to the first position a again, The pressure oil is supplied to the extension-side pressure chamber 114 of the first-stage extension cylinder 108 on the tip side through the extension-side pressure chamber 114 of the first-stage extension cylinder 107 on the root side. As a result, the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side is extended, and in the telescopic boom body 104, the third-stage boom 103 extends relative to the second-stage boom 102 (see FIG. 9). At this time, an extension thrust is also generated in the first-stage telescopic cylinder 107 on the root side, but the second-stage boom 102 is not further extended by the fixing pin 153 of the fixing means 150.

  On the other hand, when the telescopic boom body 104 is contracted from the fully extended state as shown in FIG. 9, first, the electromagnetic switching valve 143 in the telescopic boom body 104 is switched to the communication position a and the switching valve 132 is switched to the second position b. Then, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 131 is supplied through the oil passage 134 to the compression side pressure oil supply port 122 at the base end of the piston rod 111 of the first-stage expansion cylinder 107 on the base side, and the base side 1 is supplied from the compression side pressure oil supply port 122. In the step expansion / contraction cylinder 107, the contraction side oil passage 120 flows into the contraction side pressure chamber 115. Further, the hydraulic pressure that flows into the compression-side pressure chamber 115 of the base-side first-stage expansion cylinder 107 is compressed through the second communication pipe 142 and the compression-side pressure oil at the proximal end of the piston rod 111 of the first-stage expansion / contraction cylinder 108. The gas is supplied to the supply port 122 and flows from the contraction side pressure supply port 122 into the contraction side pressure chamber 115 through the contraction side oil passage 120 in the one-stage expansion cylinder 108 at the distal end side. Simultaneously with the inflow of the pressure oil, the working oil in the extension side pressure chamber 114 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side is extended to the extension-side oil passage 118, the first communication pipe 141, the root of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side. It returns to the tank 135 through the extension side pressure chamber 114, the extension side oil passage 118, and the oil passage 133 of the first-stage expansion cylinder 107 on the side. As a result, the first-stage telescopic cylinder 108 on the distal end side is contracted, and the third-stage boom 103 of the telescopic boom body 104 is contracted. At this time, a reduction thrust is also generated in the first-stage telescopic cylinder 107 on the root side. However, since the second-stage boom 102 is fixed in the extended state by the fixing pin 153 of the fixing means 150, the first-stage expansion cylinder 107 on the root side. The telescopic cylinder 107 does not perform a reduction operation.

  Subsequently, the electromagnetic switching valve 143 in the telescopic boom body 104 is returned to the cutoff position b, and the electromagnetic switching valve 165 of the hydraulic circuit 157 of the fixing means 150 is switched to the second position b. Then, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 161 of the fixing means 150 is supplied to the second hydraulic chamber 156 of the hydraulic cylinder 154 via the oil passage 163, and the fixing pin 153 moves backward by the hydraulic cylinder 154, so that the fixing pin The fixed state in the extended state of the second-stage boom 102 by 153 is released. With this release, the telescopic cylinder 107 is contracted by the contraction thrust generated in the base-side first-stage telescopic cylinder 107, and the second-stage boom 102 of the telescopic boom body 104 is contracted.

  As described above, in the above-described three-stage telescopic boom B, the extension-side pressure chambers 114 and the contraction-side pressure chambers 115 of the two one-stage extension cylinders 107 and 108 in the extension boom body 104 are respectively connected to the first communication pipe. 141 and the second communication pipe 142, and the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 131 is supplied to the base side end of the piston rod 111 of the first-stage telescopic cylinder 104, the expansion side pressure oil supply port 121 or the contraction side pressure oil supply port 122. The two telescopic cylinders 107 and 108 are both expanded and contracted simply by supplying them to each other, and the telescopic boom main body 104 is expanded and contracted by the expanding and contracting operations. The oil supply hose for supplying pressure oil and the hose reel for winding up the oil can be abolished. Such as the simplification of the attached work can be achieved.

  In addition, in the case of the present embodiment, the basic boom of the telescopic boom main body 104 is switched by the switching between the communication position a and the blocking position b of the electromagnetic switching valve 143 provided in the first communication pipe 141 and the fixing pin 153 of the fixing means 150. When the telescopic boom main body 104 is extended, only the second-stage boom 102 is extended, and then the third-stage boom 103 is extended. When the telescopic boom main body 104 is contracted, only the third-stage boom 103 is contracted and then the second-stage boom 102 is contracted. Therefore, the second-stage boom 102 and the third-stage boom 103 expand and contract simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the weight fluctuation from changing rapidly. As a result, the effect that it can contribute to stabilization of airframes, such as a crane which attaches the telescopic boom B, is also show | played.

  In the case of this embodiment, since the hydraulic circuit 157 of the fixing means 150 is disposed outside the telescopic boom body 104, it is necessary to provide an oil supply hose or the like constituting the oil passages 162, 163 outside the telescopic boom body 104. The refueling hose is only provided from the base end to the front end of the basic boom 101 of the telescopic boom main body 104, so that a hose reel is not required.

In addition, the first contraction side pressure chamber 217 of the double acting cylinder 207 at the base side is communicated via the first communication pipe 251 disposed outside the cylinders 207 and 208. One end is connected to the compression side pressure oil supply port 122 at the base end of the piston rod 111 of 208 through the second communication pipe 252 connected to the external communication pipe 223 and disposed in the telescopic boom body 205. . The first communication pipe 251 is provided with an electromagnetic switching valve 253 for switching between communication (communication position a in the figure) and cutoff (blocking position b in the figure).

  Further, the telescopic boom C is the third-stage boom 203 of the telescopic boom body 205 to which the first cylinder tube 213 of the double-acting cylinder 207 on the base side and the piston rod 111 of the double-acting cylinder 208 on the distal end side are attached. And a second-stage boom 202 fitted to the outside of the third-stage boom 203 are provided with fixing means 260 for fixing the booms 202 and 203 in a state where they are extended by relative movement. When the third-stage boom 203 of the telescopic boom body 205 is extended with respect to the second-stage boom 202 as shown in FIG. 12, the first pin hole 261 provided at the base end of the third-stage boom 203 and the second-stage boom 202 are provided. The fixed pin 263 inserted from the inside of the telescopic boom main body 205 into the second pin hole 262 provided at the tip end portion of the movable member, and the fixed pin 263 is moved forward and backward. And Doshiki hydraulic cylinder 264, relative to the first hydraulic chamber 265 and the second hydraulic chamber 266 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 becomes and a hydraulic circuit 267 for driving the hydraulic cylinder 264 by supplying and discharging pressure oil. The hydraulic circuit 267 includes a supply oil passage 271 having one end connected to an upstream position from the electromagnetic switching valve 253 of the first communication pipe 251 and a first contraction side pressure chamber of the double acting cylinder 207 having one end at the root side. 217, an electromagnetic switching valve 273 for switching communication between the supply oil passage 271 and the return oil passage 272 and the first hydraulic chamber 265 and the second hydraulic chamber 266 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 and a shut-off state. The electromagnetic switching valve 273 has a first oil passage 271 communicating with the first hydraulic chamber 265 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 and a return oil passage 272 communicating with the second hydraulic chamber 266 of the hydraulic cylinder 264, respectively. The position a and the second position where the supply oil passage 271 is communicated with the second hydraulic chamber 266 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 and the return oil passage 272 is communicated with the first hydraulic chamber 265 of the hydraulic cylinder 264, respectively. When those capable switched to a blocking position c to block any communicating state.

  Next, the telescopic operation of the four-stage telescopic boom C will be described. Now, as shown in FIG. 11, the telescopic boom main body 205 is in a contracted state, and two double-acting types in the telescopic boom main body 205 are provided. Both cylinders 207 and 208 are in a contracted state. Further, the electromagnetic switching valve 253 in the telescopic boom body 205 is in the shut-off position b, and of the two switching valves 242, 243 outside the telescopic boom body 104, the first switching valve 242 is in the shut-off position c, and the second switching The valve 243 is in the second position b. Further, the hydraulic cylinder 267 of the fixing means 260 is in a state in which the fixing pin 263 is retracted, and the electromagnetic switching valve 273 of the hydraulic circuit 267 is in the cutoff position c.

  When the telescopic boom body 205 is extended from such a reduced state, first, when the first switching valve 242 is switched from the shut-off position c to the first position a, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 241 is changed to the first switching valve 242 and the second switching valve 242. 2 is supplied to the second extension-side pressure oil supply port 237 at the base end of the piston rod 211 of the double-acting cylinder 207 on the base side via the two switching valve 243 and the oil passage 245, and from the second extension-side pressure oil supply port 237 to the base side In the double-acting cylinder 207, it flows into the second expansion side pressure chamber 214 via the second oil passage 226. As a result, the second cylinder tube 212 of the double-acting cylinder 207 on the root side extends with respect to the piston rod 211, and the telescopic boom body 205 extends with the second-stage boom 202 with respect to the basic boom 201.

  When the second switching valve 243 is switched from the second position b to the first position a after the second-stage boom 202 is extended, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 241 is supplied to the first switching valve 242, the second switching valve 243, and It is supplied to the first extension-side pressure oil supply port 236 at the base end of the piston rod 211 of the root-side double-action cylinder 207 via the oil passage 244, and the root-side double-action cylinder is supplied from the first extension-side pressure oil supply port 236. In 207, the gas flows into the first extension side pressure chamber 215 through the first oil passage 225. As a result, the first cylinder tube 213 of the double-acting cylinder 207 at the base side extends with respect to the second cylinder tube 212, and the telescopic boom body 205 extends with respect to the second-stage boom 202. To do.

  In the state where the third-stage boom 203 is extended by a predetermined length, the first pin hole 261 at the base end portion of the third-stage boom 203 and the second pin hole 262 at the distal end portion of the second-stage boom 202 coincide with each other. At this time, if the electromagnetic switching valve 273 of the hydraulic circuit 267 of the fixing means 260 is switched from the cutoff position c to the first position a while the first switching valve 242 is kept at the first position a, the root double acting cylinder 207 The hydraulic oil as the hydraulic oil is supplied from the first extension side pressure chamber 215 to the first hydraulic chamber 265 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 through the supply oil passage 271 and the electromagnetic switching valve 273 of the hydraulic circuit 267, and the hydraulic pressure is increased. The return oil is returned from the second hydraulic chamber 266 of the cylinder 264 to the first contraction side pressure chamber 217 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the base side via the electromagnetic switching valve 273 and the return oil passage 272 of the hydraulic circuit 267. Accordingly, the fixing pin 263 by a hydraulic cylinder 264 is then moved forward and inserted into the said first pin hole 261 and the second pin hole 262. Thereby, the 2nd stage boom 202 and the 3rd stage boom 203 of the telescopic boom main body 205 are fixed in the extended state.

  Subsequently, by switching the electromagnetic switching valve 253 in the telescopic boom body 205 to the communication position a, the first expansion side pressure chamber 215 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the root side and the extending side of the double acting cylinder 208 on the distal end side. The pressure chamber 114 is in communication with the first communication pipe 251 and the extension side oil passage 118 of the double-acting cylinder 208 on the front end side, and when the first switching valve 242 is switched to the first position a again, The pressure oil from the pump 241 is supplied to the expansion side pressure chamber 114 of the double acting cylinder 208 on the tip side through the first expansion side pressure chamber 215 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the base side. As a result, the double-acting cylinder 208 on the distal end side is extended, and in the telescopic boom body 205, the fourth-stage boom 204 extends relative to the third-stage boom 203 (see FIG. 12).

  On the other hand, when the telescopic boom body 205 is contracted from the fully extended state as shown in FIG. 12, first, the electromagnetic switching valve 253 in the telescopic boom body 205 is set to the communication position a, and the first switching valve 242 is set to the second position b. When the second switching valve 243 is switched to the first position a, the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 241 is connected to the base end of the piston rod 211 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the root side via the first switching valve 242 and the oil passage 246. Is supplied to the contraction-side pressure oil supply port 238, and flows from the contraction-side pressure oil supply port 238 into the second contraction-side pressure chamber 216 through the third oil passage 227 in the double-acting cylinder 207 on the root side. From the side pressure chamber 216, it further flows into the first contraction side pressure chamber 217 via the external communication conduit 223. The hydraulic pressure that has flowed into the first contraction-side pressure chamber 217 of the base-side double-acting cylinder 207 passes through the external communication pipe 223 and the second communication pipe 252 and the piston of the double-acting cylinder 208 on the tip side. The pressure is supplied to the contraction-side pressure oil supply port 122 at the base end of the rod 111, and flows from the contraction-side pressure supply port 122 into the contraction-side pressure chamber 115 through the contraction-side oil passage 120 in the double-action cylinder 208 at the distal end. Simultaneously with the inflow of the pressure oil, the working oil in the expansion side pressure chamber 114 of the double acting cylinder 208 on the front end side is expanded on the expansion side oil passage 118, the first communication pipe 251 and the root of the double acting cylinder 208 on the front end side. Return to the tank 247 via the first extension side pressure chamber 215, the first oil passage 225, and the oil passage 244 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the side. As a result, the double-acting cylinder 208 on the distal end side performs a reduction operation, and the fourth-stage boom 204 of the telescopic boom body 205 is reduced. At this time, a thrust for contraction is also generated in the double acting cylinder 207 on the root side. However, since the third stage boom 203 is fixed in the extended state by the fixing pin 263 of the fixing means 260, the double acting on the root side is provided. The expression cylinder 207 does not perform a reduction operation.

  Subsequently, the electromagnetic switching valve 253 in the telescopic boom body 205 is returned to the cutoff position b, and the electromagnetic switching valve 273 of the hydraulic circuit 267 of the fixing means 260 is switched to the second position b. Then, the hydraulic oil as the hydraulic oil from the first extension side pressure chamber 215 of the double acting cylinder 207 at the base side is supplied to the second hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 264 via the supply oil passage 271 of the hydraulic circuit 267 and the electromagnetic switching valve 273. The return oil from the first hydraulic chamber 265 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 is supplied to the chamber 266 through the electromagnetic switching valve 273 and the return oil passage 272 of the hydraulic circuit 267, and the first contraction side of the double-acting cylinder 207 on the root side By returning to the pressure chamber 217, the hydraulic cylinder 264 moves the fixing pin 263 backward, and the fixing of the third-stage boom 203 by the fixing pin 263 in the extended state is released. Along with this release, the first cylinder tube 213 of the cylinder 207 contracts with respect to the second cylinder tube 212 by the reduction thrust generated in the double-acting cylinder 207 on the base side, and the extension boom body 205 The third stage boom 203 is reduced.

  When the second switching valve 243 is switched to the second position b after the third-stage boom 203 is contracted, the second cylinder tube 212 of the double-acting cylinder 207 on the base side contracts with respect to the piston rod 211, The telescopic boom body 206 is in the contracted state shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the four-stage telescopic boom C, the expansion-side pressure chambers 215 and 114 and the contraction-side pressure chambers 217 and 115 of the two double-acting cylinders 207 and 208 in the telescopic boom main body 205 are respectively the first. The pressure oil from the hydraulic pump 241 is communicated via the first communication pipe 251 and the second communication pipe 252, and the expansion side pressure oil supply ports 236, 237 at the base end of the piston rod 211 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the base side The two double-acting cylinders 207 and 208 both expand and contract only by supplying to the contraction-side pressure oil supply port 238, and the telescopic boom main body 205 expands and contracts by this expansion and contraction operation. The oil supply hose for supplying pressure oil to the double-acting cylinder and the hose reel for winding it can be eliminated. Such as down reduction and simplification of the mounting work can be achieved.

  In addition, in the case of this embodiment, switching between the communication position a and the blocking position b of the electromagnetic switching valve 253 provided in the first communication pipe 251 and the two stages of the telescopic boom main body 205 by the fixing pin 263 of the fixing means 260 are performed. When the telescopic boom main body 205 is extended, the second boom 202, the third boom 203, and the fourth boom 204 are combined, for example, by a combination of fixing and releasing in the extended state of the second boom 202 and the third boom 203. While the telescopic boom main body 205 is contracted in the reverse order, it is contracted in the reverse order, so that the three booms 202 to 204 are simultaneously expanded and contracted to prevent the weight fluctuation from suddenly decreasing. it can. As a result, the effect that it can contribute to stabilization of airframes, such as a crane which attaches the telescopic boom C, is also show | played.

  Further, since the fixing pin 263 and the hydraulic cylinder 264 of the fixing means 260 are provided inside the telescopic boom body 205, a member for protecting them is not particularly required. The hydraulic circuit 267 of the hydraulic cylinder 264 supplies pressure oil from the first extension side hydraulic chamber 215 of the double acting cylinder 207 on the base side to the hydraulic cylinder 264 and returns oil from the hydraulic cylinder 264 on the base side. Since the hydraulic cylinder 207 is returned to the first contraction side hydraulic chamber 217, a hydraulic pump as a dedicated pressure oil source can be omitted, and the configuration of the hydraulic circuit 267 including the electromagnetic switching valve 273. Can be made relatively simple. For these reasons, implementation can be easily achieved in terms of cost.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said 1st thru | or 3rd embodiment, Various other forms are included. For example, in the first embodiment, the cylinder tube 13 on the outer side of the two-stage telescopic cylinder 7 on the base side and the piston rod 11 of the two-stage telescopic cylinder 8 on the tip side are both attached to the third-stage boom 3 of the telescopic boom body 6. By connecting, the telescopic boom main body 6 is provided so as not to be relatively movable when the telescopic boom body 6 is expanded or contracted. The piston rod 11 may be directly coupled so that the telescopic boom main body 6 is provided so as not to be relatively movable when the telescopic boom body 6 is expanded and contracted.

  As the two double-acting cylinders, both the first embodiment uses two-stage telescopic cylinders 7 and 8, the second embodiment uses both one-stage telescopic cylinders 107 and 108, and the third In the embodiment, the case where the two-stage telescopic cylinder 207 and the one-stage telescopic cylinder 208 are used has been described.
