Definitions
- the present invention relates to magnet lifters, and particularly to a lifter with electropermanent magnets provided with a safety device for controlling their working point.
- lifters are divided into three classes depending on the type of used magnets, i.e. permanent magnets, electropermanent magnets and electromagnets.
- Each lifter type has its own advantages and drawbacks.
- the lifters with permanent magnets have the advantage of an almost negligible power consumption and of a produced magnetic force which is reliably constant and independent of outer supply sources.
- the load detachment requires the apphcation of a considerable mechanical power amount in order to reduce the magnetic force to a value smaller than the load weight.
- the magnets are to be made movable so as to be moved away from the load, thus decreasing the magnetic attraction.
- the lifters with electropermanent magnets substantially combine the advantages of the two aforementioned lifter types. This is due to the use of a permanent magnet of the reversible type, i.e. a magnet wherein the polarity is easily reversible through the apphcation of an electric impulse. The reversible magnet thus generates an adjustable flux which also can direct the flux of a conventional permanent magnet combined therewith.
- the electropermanent magnets with respect to the other two types of magnets, have a drawback in the working instability due to the particular magnetization curve of the reversible magnet.
- the reversible magnets are usually made of an aluminum-nickel-cobalt (alnico) alloy having an hysteresis characterized in that a high induction corresponds to a reduced coercive force. This characteristic allows to direct the magnetic flux in the permanent magnet forming the electropermanent magnet.
- the magnetization curve has a "knee” beyond which the behavior of the reversible magnet is still linear, but much more sloped than in the first region.
- the lifters with electropermanent magnets are greatly affected by the dynamics of the lifted material. It is in fact known that the oscillations of the plates lifted by such a unit involve a variation of the ah gap, and accordingly a variation of the total reluctance of the magnetic circuit, which may shift the working point of the magnetic masses of the lifter below said "knee". This dynamics is affected even by little shifts of the lifted material and thus slight bendings or hardly detectable curvings are enough to cause a considerable variation of the magnetomotive force thereby making the lifting system very unstable.
- Such an object is achieved by means of a lifter provided with a sensor capable of measuring the only contribution of the reversible magnet and accordingly its working point.
- the main advantage of the present lifter is thus to ensure the highest operating safety by indicating not only the total safety factor but also the approach of the instability condition.
- Another advantage of the lifter according to the present invention is that, by suitably combining the data supphed by the sensor measuring the reversible magnet flux with the data supphed by the sensor measuring the total magnetic flux, it is possible to compensate the reading error of the latter due to the magnetic dispersions caused by the air gap between the active polarities and the load, said error being proportional to the air gap size.
- - Fig. 1 is a front diagrammatic view, with the left half in section, of a lifter according to the invention in the non- working phase;
- - Fig. 2 is a partial view in horizontal section of a symmetrical half of the lifter of Fig. 1;
- - Fig. 3 is a diagram comprising the magnetization curves of the reversible magnet and of the permanent magnet; and - Fig. 4 is a view of the lifter of Fig. 1, in the load conveying phase.
- the lifter with electropermanent magnets in a known way comprises an outer supporting structure, a plurality of magnets and an adjustment and control unit.
- the supporting structure consists in an upper block 1, provided with joints 2 for the fastening to lifting means, e.g. a crane, four sides 3 and a closing base plate
- Each electropermanent magnet is formed by a reversible magnet 5 and a permanent magnet 6 arranged one above the other respectively.
- the polarities of reversible magnet 5 are arranged on the horizontal sides of a core 5 a, made of alnico, around which a commuting coil 5b is arranged for controlling the pole reversal. While the lifter is not working, as shown in Fig. 1, the north pole (N) is on the upper side and the south pole (S) in on the lower side.
- Permanent magnet 6 comprises a plurality of ferrite blocks 6a arranged along the lateral sides of an iron core 6b. This core 6b is fastened to block 1 through a plurality of bars 7 passing through the alnico core 5a and constrained by nuts 8 into suitable seats 9. Thus, also permanent magnet 5 is fastened under block 1. Core 6b extends downwards in a pole piece 6c, protruding from plate 4 and intended to contact the load to be lifted.
- Fig. 2 The arrangement of the polarities of ferrite blocks 6a is clearly shown in Fig. 2, wherein on all sides the north pole is facing core 6b and the south pole is facing outwards.
- another electropermanent magnet is suitably arranged with the reversed polarities in the right half of the lifter.
- second reversible magnet 6' having its south pole on the upper side and its north pole on the lower side.
- Second permanent magnet 6' likewise comprises a plurality of ferrite blocks 6a' arranged with their south poles facing core 6b' and their north poles facing outwards (see Fig. 2).
- This magnet arrangement induces a magnetic field comprising three sheaves of flux lines substantially oriented in the direction indicated by the arrows of Fig. 1.
- the middle sheaf of these flux lines passes through the two reversible magnets 5, 5', the two cores 6b, 6b' and ferrite blocks 6a, 6a' arranged therebetween, besides some portions of the outer supporting structure.
- the two side sheaves of flux lines pass instead through only one of reversible magnets 5, 5', one of cores 6b, 6b' and ferrite blocks 6a, 6a' arranged between one of these cores and sides 3.
- Such flux lines being linked together, flow inside the lifter, so that a ferromagnetic load, arranged close to pole pieces 6c, 6c', would not be attracted by the lifter.
- the adjustment and control circuits comprise at least a control circuit 10 of commuting coil 5b, a first magnetic sensor 11 and a second magnetic sensor 12 respectively arranged above and under ferrite blocks 6a, as well as at least a safety device 13 for processing the signals coming from said sensors 11 and 12.
- Lower magnetic sensor 11 consists for instance of a coil having its loops surrounding the base of core 6b in order to measure the flux linked with the load.
- Upper magnetic sensor 12, consisting for instance of a further coil having its loops surrounding the upper portion of core 6b, is the innovative aspect of the present lifter as it allows to measure the only contribution of reversible magnet 5, as it will be hereinafter explained.
- each electropermanent magnet is preferably provided with its own pair of sensors in order to achieve a greater measure accuracy.
- a lower coil and an upper coil are also arranged around core 6b' of the magnet, both connected to safety device 13. so as to reduce the measure error by averaging the readings of the two pairs of coils.
- the magnetization curve showing the ratio between residual induction Br and coercive field intensity He has two different characteristics depending on the magnet type of the lifter.
- magnetization curve 14 of reversible magnets 5, 5' unlike curve 15 of permanent magnets 6, 6', has a quite short linear segment 16 between "knee" 17 and the axis of residual induction Br corresponding to a zero level of coercive field intensity He.
- magnetization curve 14 is highly sloped and shows hysteresis phenomena, whereby, if the working point of the lifter accidentally comes in that region, its lifting force is unstable, since residual induction Br swiftly varies upon slight variations of intensity He and moreover there is no bijection between these two quantities owing to the magnetic hysteresis.
- a ferromagnetic load 18 may be attracted by the lifter according to the present invention by placing it close to pole pieces 6c, 6c' and by reversing the polarities of reversible magnets 5, 5' through the respective commuting coils.
- sensors 12 detect the intensity of the magnetic flux generated only by the reversible magnets, whereas sensors 1 1 also detect the contribution given by ferrite blocks 6a, 6a'.
- Safety device 13 in the present embodiment comprises an electronic circuit controlled by a microprocessor receiving as input the signals transmitted by sensors 11 and 12 and subsequently amplified and converted in digital form.
- Device 13 processes the signals of sensors 11 and 12 in order to respectively obtain the total magnetic force of the electropermanent magnets and the working point of reversible magnets 5, 5' on curve 14. By comparing such values with each other, device 13 compensates the difference between the magnetic flux measured by sensors 1 1 and the magnetic flux actually passing through load 18. Such a difference results from the dispersions of the magnetic flux due to the air gap ⁇ , i.e. to the variations of the distance between load 18 and pole pieces 6c, 6c'.
- Figure 4 on the left the flux lines are shown through the air gap ⁇ (enlarged) under real conditions, i.e. with the dispersion effects, and on the right the same flux lines under ideal conditions, i.e. without the dispersion effects.
- device 13 determines the working point of reversible magnets 5, 5' on curve 14 of Figure 3, and accordingly calculates in sequence the size of air gap ⁇ , the value of induction Br, the magnetic linkage with load 18 and finally the effective magnetic force acting on the latter.
- the software of safety device 13 thus comprises a specific algorithm capable of automatically correct the readings of sensors 11 so as to eliminate the errors due to the dispersed magnetic fluxes owing to the air gap ⁇ .
- device 13 would provide for immediately signaling the risk situation to the operators by means of acoustic or optical alarm signals or the like.
- the material the magnets are made of may vary depending on the lifter requirements.
- the permanent magnets may be made of neodymium or other rare earths.
- magnetic sensors 11 and 12 may not comprise coils, but other type of sensors, e.g. Hall effect sensors.
