The invention relates to a system for monitoring wind influences on a working machine, in particular a mobile crane or crawler crane, comprising at least one detection unit that is arranged on the working machine and by means of which a current wind speed can be detected, a recording unit that is configured to receive, to store, and to transmit data of the detection unit during and outside the operation of the working machine, a controller of the working machine that is configured to determine a current working machine state, an external processing unit that is configured to directly or indirectly receive and process data from the detection unit relating to an current wind speed and data from the controller, and an output device that is configured to receive data from the external processing unit. The controller and/or the external processing unit is/are configured here to determine a limit value for a wind speed in dependence on the current working machine state. The output device is further configured to output a warning on a reaching and/or exceeding and/or impending reaching of the limit value by the current wind speed. The invention further relates to a working machine having components of the system in accordance with the invention.
A system for monitoring wind influences on a working machine (1), in particular a mobile crane or crawler crane, comprising:
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the external processing unit (16) is configured to determine with reference to the transmission of the data by the controller (14), in particular with reference to transmission intervals, that the working machine (1) is out of operation and to continue to receive data from the recording unit (12) relating to a current wind speed.
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the external processing unit (16) is configured to compare the data received from the recording unit (12) relating to the current wind speed and the data received by the controller (14) relating to the limit value with one another, with the external processing unit (16) further being configured to use a limit value last received by the controller (14) in operation in a time period in which the working machine (1) is out of operation for the comparison.
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the external processing unit (16) is configured to receive data from the controller (14) relating to a current position of the working machine (1) and/or to a current working machine state and/or to the current configuration of the working machine (1) and/or to the payload values of the working machine (1) and/or to limit values for wind speeds in dependence on the working machine state and/or to receive data from an external service (20) relating to a weather forecast.
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one sensor (22) is provided at the working machine (1) by means of which a parameter of the current working machine state is detectable, with the controller (14) being configured to receive data from the at least one sensor (22).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one transmission unit (24) is provided at the working machine (1) and is configured to transmit data from the controller (14) and/or from the recording unit (12) wirelessly to the external processing unit (16).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the controller (14) is configured to receive the data from the at least one detection unit (20) and to preferably present data relating to the current wind speed and/or to the limit value on a display unit of the working machine (1).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that data relating to the current configuration of the working machine (1) and/or payload values and/or limit values for wind speeds in dependence on the working machine state and/or on the configuration of the working machine are stored in the controller (14) or in a memory (26 readable by the controller and/or by the external processing unit (16).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a position detection unit (28), in particular a GPS module, arranged at the working machine (1) for the detection of the current position of the working machine (1) is provided, with the controller (14) being configured to receive position related data from the position detection unit (28).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one detection unit (10) is an anemometer, in particular a cup anemometer, and is preferably arranged at a boom (3, 4) of the working machine (1).
A system in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one detection unit (10) works without an energy supply and has a signal detection means (11) for generating a signal, in particular a reed switch, with the recording unit (22) being configured to receive this signal.
A working machine (1), in particular a crawler crane or a mobile crane, having at least one detection unit (10), a recording unit (12), and a controller (14) of a system in accordance with one of the preceding claims.
