Abstract
The present invention relates to a crane with a height-adjustably mounted control or personnel stand that can be lifted and lowered by at least two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control or personnel stand so as to be luffable about a horizontal pivot axis, wherein a monitoring and/or safety device is provided to monitor and/or ensure the safety of the control stand. According to the invention, the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device.
Claims20
A fast-erecting crane comprising:
- a telescopable and/or luffable tower with a height-adjustable mounted control and/or personnel stand configured to be lifted and lowered by two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is luffably mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control and/or personnel stand about a horizontal pivot axis;
- a monitoring and/or safety device for monitoring the control and/or personnel stand, wherein the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device;
- and
- a lever mechanism for generating a change of the measurement axis load acting on the measurement axis in dependence on a rotation of the balancing rocker relative to the rocker bearing head, and wherein the lever mechanism is associated with the balancing rocker and/or the rocker bearing head and/or the measurement axis.
A fast-erecting crane comprising:
- a telescopable and/or luffable tower with a height-adjustable mounted control and/or personnel stand configured to be lifted and lowered by two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is luffably mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control and/or personnel stand about a horizontal pivot axis;
- a monitoring and/or safety device for monitoring the control and/or personnel stand, wherein the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device;
- and
- an evaluating device for evaluating the measurement signal of the measurement axis, wherein the evaluating device is configured to employ a height and/or a change of the measurement signal of the measurement axis to distinguish between an overload of the control and/or personnel stand at a proper operating condition of the lifting elements and the balancing rocker, and a malfunction of the lifting elements and/or the balancing rocker.
A fast-erecting crane comprising:
- a telescopable and/or luffable tower with a height-adjustable mounted control and/or personnel stand configured to be lifted and lowered by two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is luffably mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control and/or personnel stand about a horizontal pivot axis;
- and
- a monitoring and/or safety device for monitoring the control and/or personnel stand, wherein the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device,
- wherein the measurement axis is configured to detect transverse forces acting on the measurement axis in terms of an amount and/or a direction of the transverse forces.
A fast-erecting crane comprising:
- a telescopable and/or luffable tower with a height-adjustable mounted control and/or personnel stand configured to be lifted and lowered by two lifting elements, wherein the two lifting elements are articulated to a balancing rocker that is luffably mounted on a rocker bearing head connected to the control and/or personnel stand about a horizontal pivot axis;
- and
- a monitoring and/or safety device for monitoring the control and/or personnel stand, wherein the pivot axis is configured as a measurement axis for detecting the load state of the luffable bearing of the balancing rocker and for providing a load signal to the monitoring and/or safety device,
- wherein the measurement axis is configured to detect bending moments acting on the measurement axis.
