Description
La présente invention concerne une flèche de grue, en particulier une flèche relevable, combinée avec un dispositif de changement de mouflage, ce dispositif permettant de réaliser un changement de mouflage du câble de levage entre un mouflage à brin unique et un mouflage à deux brins, et inversement, sans démontage de la moufle.The present invention relates to a crane boom, in particular a luffing boom, combined with a device for changing the hauling, this device making it possible to change the hauling of the hoisting rope between a single-strand haul and a two-haft haul, and conversely, without dismantling the muffle.
Dans une grue à flèche relevable, le câble de levage passe sur une ou plusieurs poulies portées par la pointe de flèche, la moufle munie d'un crochet de levage étant suspendue, par l'intermédiaire du câble de levage, sous la pointe de flèche. Le nombre des brins verticaux formés par le câble de levage, entre la pointe de flèche et la moufle, détermine le « mouflage ». Ce nombre de brins peut être rendu modifiable par un dispositif de changement de mouflage pour adapter la grue à diverses conditions d'utilisation de la grue. En particulier, le mouflage des brins détermine la vitesse de levage, un mouflage à un seul brin étant adapté à un levage rapide, pour une charge relativement faible, tandis qu'un mouflage à deux brins est adapté au levage à plus faible vitesse, de charges plus lourdes.In a luffing jib crane, the hoisting rope passes over one or more pulleys carried by the jib, the muffle provided with a lifting hook being suspended, by means of the hoisting rope, under the jib . The number of vertical strands formed by the hoisting rope, between the boom tip and the muffle, determines the "hauling". This number of strands can be made modifiable by a change of hauling device to adapt the crane to various conditions of use of the crane. In particular, the hauling of the strands determines the lifting speed, a single-strand haul being suitable for fast lifting, for a relatively low load, while a two-sided haul is suitable for lifting at lower speed, heavier loads.
Un dispositif connu de changement de mouflage pour une telle grue, permettant de passer d'un mouflage à un seul brin à un mouflage à deux brins et inversement, se caractérise essentiellement par :
- une structure de pointe de flèche avec chemin de câble passant successivement sur deux poulies situées dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche, et comportant aussi un point fixe situé dans l'axe longitudinal de la flèche ;
- une moufle située dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche, cette moufle possédant une forme particulière permettant de répartir les masses, en position de travail de la grue à un seul brin, de façon à ce que le crochet de levage soit dans l'axe vertical de l'unique brin de câble.
- an arrowhead structure with cable duct successively passing over two pulleys located in the vertical median plane of the boom, and also having a fixed point located in the longitudinal axis of the boom;
- a muffle located in the vertical median plane of the boom, this muffle having a particular shape for distributing the masses, in the operating position of the crane to a single strand, so that the lifting hook is in the axis vertical of the single strand of cable.
Cette solution technique comporte divers inconvénients :This technical solution has various disadvantages:
La pointe de flèche nécessite une construction particulière, en forme de bec en caisson, pour reprendre la largeur de la moufle, et elle nécessite aussi un passage de câble extérieur à la flèche, avec deux poulies. De plus, la structure de la pointe de flèche doit être importante, pour reprendre les efforts de flexion dus à la forme en bec de l'extrémité de la pointe de flèche. Il en résulte, pour la pointe de flèche, une complexité de réalisation et un poids élevé, rendant lui-même nécessaire une attache de tirant de flèche située plus en avant.The arrowhead requires a particular construction, box-shaped beak, to take the width of the muffle, and it also requires a cable passage outside the arrow, with two pulleys. In addition, the structure of the arrowhead must be important, to take the bending forces due to the beak shape of the tip of the arrowhead. This results, for the arrowhead, a complexity of realization and a weight high, making itself necessary an arrow pull attachment located further forward.
Quant à la moufle de levage, celle-ci possède une forme asymétrique qui peut entraîner une rotation indésirable de cette moufle en cas de vent. Par ailleurs, la moufle possède des pieds pour sa dépose au sol sur un côté, en cas de mouflage à un brin, ce qui nécessite un guidage manuel de la moufle lors de sa dépose au sol pour sa maintenance.As for the lifting muffle, it has an asymmetrical shape that can cause undesirable rotation of the muffle in windy conditions. Furthermore, the muffle has feet for its removal to the ground on one side, in case of single-hauling, which requires manual guidance of the muffle during its removal to the ground for maintenance.
Le document
La présente invention vise à éviter tous les inconvénients précédemment exposés, en fournissant une solution plus simple et plus économique pour le changement de mouflage, solution qui en particulier :
- supprime toute structure spécifique pour la pointe de flèche, et nécessite une seule poulie sur la pointe de flèche, d'où une simplification importante ;
- permet ainsi une réalisation plus légère de la pointe de flèche, à caractéristiques égales de charge/portée ;
- conduit aussi à une réalisation plus simple, plus légère et mieux équilibrée de la moufle, qui, en particulier, se trouvera équilibrée, sans dispositions particulières, dans la position de travail à un seul brin.
- removes any specific structure for the arrowhead, and requires a single pulley on the arrowhead, hence a significant simplification;
- thus allows a lighter achievement of the arrowhead, with equal load / reach characteristics;
- It also leads to a simpler, lighter and more balanced construction of the muffle, which, in particular, will be balanced, without particular provisions, in the single-strand work position.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une flèche de grue avec dispositif de changement de mouflage, du genre précisé en introduction, qui comprend essentiellement, en combinaison :
- sur la pointe de flèche, une poulie unique montée sur un axe horizontal orienté transversalement à la flèche selon cet axe, la poulie étant déplaçable entre une position centrale, située sensiblement dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche, pour le mouflage à brin unique, et une position latérale, pour le mouflage à deux brins, la pointe de flèche comportant aussi, pour le mouflage à deux brins, un point d'attache de l'extrémité du câble de levage, ce point d'attache étant situé, par rapport au plan médian vertical de la flèche, du côté opposé à la position latérale de la poulie ;
- une moufle de levage avec carter de forme générale symétrique, logeant une poulie d'axe horizontal, la moufle étant équipée de moyens d'attache de l'extrémité du câble de levage, pour le mouflage à brin unique, et aussi de moyens de guidage pour le câble de levage, guidant ce câble vers le centre de la partie supérieure du carter de la moufle, pour le mouflage à brin unique, la disposition étant telle qu'en mouflage à deux brins, la moufle soit située sensiblement dans un plan vertical perpendiculaire au plan médian vertical de la flèche.
- on the arrowhead, a single pulley mounted on a horizontal axis oriented transversely to the boom along said axis, the pulley being movable between a central position, located substantially in the vertical median plane of the boom, for single-strand hauling, and a lateral position, for two-leg haul, the boom tip also having, for the two-leg haul, a point of attachment of the end of the hoisting rope, which attachment point is located, relative to at the median vertical plane of the boom, on the opposite side to the lateral position of the pulley;
- a lifting block with a generally symmetrical casing, housing a horizontal axis pulley, the block being equipped with means for attaching the end of the lifting cable, for the single-strand haul, and also guiding means for the hoisting rope, guiding this cable towards the center of the upper case of the muffle housing, for single-strand hauling, the provision being such that in two-strand haul, the muffle is located substantially in a vertical plane perpendicular to the vertical median plane of the boom.
Ainsi, le principe de l'invention est le suivant :
- En mouflage à un seul brin, la poulie unique de la pointe de flèche est maintenue dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche. L'extrémité du câble de levage est attachée sur la moufle, et guidée sur cette moufle de telle sorte que la moufle soit suspendue de façon symétrique et équilibrée au câble de levage, le crochet de levage se situant dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche.
- En mouflage à deux brins, la poulie de la pointe de flèche est déportée latéralement, et l'extrémité du câble de levage est attachée sur la pointe de flèche du côté opposé à la poulie (par rapport au plan médian vertical de la flèche). Ainsi, les deux brins du câble de levage, et la moufle elle-même, sont situés sensiblement dans un plan vertical perpendiculaire au plan médian vertical de la flèche.
- In single-stranded haulage, the single pulley of the arrowhead is held in the vertical median plane of the boom. The end of the hoisting rope is attached to the muffle and guided on the muffle so that the muffle is symmetrically and evenly suspended from the hoisting rope, the hoisting hook being in the vertical median plane of the boom. .
- In two-legged haulage, the boom pulley is offset laterally, and the end of the hoist rope is attached to the arrowhead on the side opposite the pulley (relative to the vertical median plane of the boom). Thus, the two strands of the lifting cable, and the muffle itself, are located substantially in a vertical plane perpendicular to the vertical median plane of the boom.
De préférence, le décalage latéral de la poulie de la pointe de flèche, en mouflage à deux brins, est sensiblement égal à la distance horizontale entre le point d'attache prévu sur la pointe de flèche et le plan médian vertical de la flèche ; ainsi, en mouflage à deux brins, le crochet de levage se situe lui aussi dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche.Preferably, the lateral offset of the pulley of the arrowhead, in two-legged haul, is substantially equal to the horizontal distance between the point of attachment provided on the arrowhead and the vertical median plane of the arrow; thus, in two-leg hauling, the lifting hook is also in the vertical median plane of the boom.
Le système de décalage latéral de la poulie unique de la pointe de flèche est réalisable de diverses manières.The lateral shift system of the single pulley of the boom tip is feasible in a variety of ways.
Selon un mode de réalisation, cette poulie est montée dans une boîte à poulie, constituée notamment par deux plaques verticales parallèles au plan médian vertical de la flèche, ladite boîte à poulie étant montée coulissante sur au moins deux glissières horizontales orientées transversalement à la flèche, des moyens étant prévus pour le blocage de la boîte à poulie, donc pour le positionnement de la poulie, soit en position médiane pour le mouflage à brun unique, soit en position latérale pour le mouflage à deux brins.According to one embodiment, this pulley is mounted in a pulley box, constituted in particular by two vertical plates parallel to the vertical median plane of the boom, said pulley box being slidably mounted on at least two horizontal rails oriented transversely to the arrow, means being provided for blocking the pulley box, therefore for positioning the pulley, either in the middle position for the single-brown haul, or in the lateral position for the two-leg haul.
En alternative, la poulie de la pointe de flèche est montée déplaçable en translation sur un arbre horizontal orienté transversalement à la flèche, la poulie étant placée entre deux joues latérales montées autour de l'arbre précité et prévues pour être bloquées en translation sur cet arbre, par exemple au moyen de goupilles, dans des positions axiales choisies qui maintiennent la poulie soit en position médiane, pour le mouflage à un brin, soit en position latérale, pour le mouflage à deux brins.Alternatively, the pulley of the arrowhead is mounted displaceable in translation on a horizontal shaft oriented transversely to the boom, the pulley being placed between two lateral flanges mounted around said shaft and provided to be locked in translation on said shaft. , for example by means of pins, in selected axial positions which keep the pulley in the middle position, for one-strand haul, or in the lateral position, for two-leg haul.
Selon une autre variante, la poulie de la pointe de flèche est solidaire d'un arbre horizontal orienté transversalement à la flèche, l'arbre étant mobile en translation dans ses paliers de sorte que l'ensemble constitué par la poulie et son arbre est déplaçable transversalement pour le passage de la position de mouflage à brin unique, avec la poulie en position médiane, à la position de mouflage à deux brins, avec la poulie décalée latéralement, ou inversement.According to another variant, the pulley of the arrowhead is integral with a horizontal shaft oriented transversely to the boom, the shaft being movable in translation in its bearings so that the assembly constituted by the pulley and its shaft is displaceable. transversely for the passage from the single-strand haul position, with the pulley in the middle position, to the two-strand haul position, with the shifted pulley laterally, or vice versa.
Selon encore une autre possibilité, équivalente aux solutions précédentes, l'invention prévoit que, sur la pointe de flèche, la poulie unique mobile transversalement est remplacée par deux poulies coaxiales, en particulier montées sur un même arbre horizontal orienté transversalement à la flèche avec une première poulie située en position centrale, sensiblement dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche, pour le mouflage à brin unique, et avec une seconde poulie située en position latérale, décalée par rapport au plan médian vertical de la flèche, pour le mouflage à deux brins, le passage du mouflage à brin unique au mouflage à deux brins, ou inversement, étant effectué en faisant passer le câble de levage de la première poulie à la seconde poulie, ou vice versa.According to yet another possibility, equivalent to the preceding solutions, the invention provides that, on the arrowhead, the transversely movable single pulley is replaced by two coaxial pulleys, in particular mounted on the same horizontal shaft oriented transversely to the arrow with a first pulley located centrally, substantially in the vertical median plane of the boom, for single-strand haul, and with a second laterally located shifter offset from the vertical median plane of the boom, for hauling two strands, the passage of single-strand haul to two-strand hauling, or vice versa, being performed by passing the hoist rope from the first pulley to the second pulley, or vice versa.
Avantageusement, la flèche de grue avec dispositif de changement de mouflage, objet de la présente invention, comprend encore des moyens de fixation temporaire de la moufle de levage sous la pointe de flèche. Ces moyens sont réalisables sous la forme d'une patte, simple ou double, solidaire de la charpente de la pointe de flèche et dirigée vers le bas, ladite patte étant prévue pour être traversée, à sa partie inférieure, par un axe amovible de liaison avec la partie supérieure du carter de la moufle de levage, amenée dans sa position la plus haute. Ces moyens permettent de fixer directement la moufle sous la pointe de flèche, cette dernière étant notamment amenée en position horizontale, pour procéder aux opérations de changement de mouflage ; la liaison mécanique de la moufle à la pointe de la flèche, alors réalisée, permet de séparer l'extrémité du câble de levage de l'un de ses points d'attache (sur la pointe de flèche ou sur la moufle), et d'amener cette extrémité de câble sur l'autre point d'attache pour l'y fixer.Advantageously, the crane boom with a change of hauling device, object of the present invention, further comprises means for temporarily fixing the lifting muffle under the arrowhead. These means are feasible in the form of a tab, single or double, integral with the frame of the arrowhead and directed downwards, said tab being adapted to be traversed, at its lower part, by a removable connecting pin with the upper part of the lifting muffle casing, brought to its highest position. These means make it possible to directly fix the muffle under the arrowhead, the latter being in particular brought into a horizontal position, to carry out the operations of change of hauling; the mechanical connection of the muffle to the tip of the boom, then performed, separates the end of the lifting cable from one of its attachment points (on the arrowhead or on the mitt), and bring this cable end to the other attachment point to fix it.
Sur la moufle de levage, les moyens de guidage pour le câble de levage sont constitués, dans un mode de réalisation particulier, par un guide incurvé porté par un bras monté pivotant dans le carter de la moufle, le guide étant ainsi déplaçable entre une position supérieure active, sensiblement tangente à la poulie de la moufle, et guidant le câble vers le centre de la partie supérieure du carter de la moufle, pour le mouflage à un brin, et une position inférieure escamotée, pour le mouflage à deux brins, des moyens étant prévus pour l'immobilisation non permanente dudit guide dans l'une ou l'autre de ses deux positions.On the lifting muffle, the guide means for the hoisting rope are constituted, in a particular embodiment, by a guide curved carried by an arm pivotally mounted in the housing of the muffle, the guide thus being movable between an active upper position, substantially tangential to the pulley of the muffle, and guiding the cable towards the center of the upper part of the muffle housing , for the single-strand haulage, and a retracted lower position, for the two-strand haul, means being provided for the non-permanent immobilization of said guide in one or the other of its two positions.
Dans une variante, les moyens de guidage pour le câble de levage sont constitués par un sabot prenant place à l'intérieur du carter de la moufle de levage, au-dessus de la poulie de la moufle, le sabot possédant un côté incurvé guidant le câble, placé sur ce côté, vers le centre de la partie supérieure du carter de la moufle, des moyens étant prévus pour la fixation non permanente dudit sabot dans le carter de la moufle.In a variant, the guiding means for the hoisting rope consist of a shoe taking place inside the casing of the lifting block, above the pulley of the block, the shoe having a curved side guiding the hoist. cable, placed on this side, towards the center of the upper part of the muffle housing, means being provided for the non-permanent attachment of said shoe in the housing of the muffle.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le carter de la moufle de levage est muni, à sa partie inférieure, de pieds pour sa pose au sol, notamment en vue des opérations de maintenance.According to another characteristic, the casing of the lifting muffle is provided at its lower part, feet for its installation on the ground, especially for maintenance operations.
Dans l'ensemble, la flèche de grue avec dispositif de changement de mouflage, objet de la présente invention, possède les avantages suivants :
- La pointe de flèche est de construction simple, car elle ne nécessite aucune structure spécifique et possède une poulie unique, éventuellement deux poulies portées par le même arbre.
- Il en résulte que cette pointe de flèche est plus légère, ceci à caractéristiques égales de charge/portée.
- La moufle de levage est, elle aussi, réalisable de façon plus simple, notamment avec des formes symétriques, et également de façon plus légère, sans nécessité d'un contrepoids pour son équilibrage en mouflage à un seul brin.
- Cette moufle symétrique, et équilibrée, n'est pas sensible à l'effet du vent : on obtient une suppression de toute rotation indésirable en cas de vent.
- Les pieds de la moufle, pour sa pose au sol, sont toujours orientés vers le bas, ce qui évite tout guidage particulier pour la poser au sol, que ce soit en mouflage à un brin ou à deux brins.
- Les opérations de changement de mouflage s'effectuent de façon relativement aisée, « en l'air », sans démontage de la moufle qui lors de ces opérations est fixée sous la pointe de flèche, ce qui assure aussi toute la sécurité souhaitable.
- La portée maximale de la grue reste la même en mouflage à deux brins et en mouflage à un brin, compte tenu de la position transversale de la moufle en mouflage à deux brins, position qui permet de conserver le même axe de levage qu'en mouflage à un brin, cet axe passant par l'extrémité de la pointe de flèche.
- The arrowhead is of simple construction because it requires no specific structure and has a single pulley, possibly two pulleys carried by the same tree.
- As a result, this arrowhead is lighter, with equal load / reach characteristics.
- The lifting mitt is also achievable in a simpler way, especially with symmetrical shapes, and also lighter, without the need for a counterweight for its balancing in single-strand haul.
- This symmetrical and balanced mitt is not sensitive to the effect of the wind: we obtain a suppression of any unwanted rotation in case of wind.
- The feet of the mitt, for its installation on the ground, are always oriented downward, which avoids any particular guidance to the ground, whether in single-strand or two-strand hauling.
- The operations of change of hauling are carried out relatively easily, "in the air", without disassembly of the mittle which during these operations is fixed under the arrowhead, which also ensures all desirable security.
- The maximum reach of the crane remains the same in two-strand haul and in one-haul haulage, taking into account the transverse position of the two-leg haul muffle, which allows keeping the same lifting axis in hauling. at one end, this axis passing through the end of the arrowhead.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent partiellement la pointe de flèche 2 d'une grue à flèche relevable, la flèche étant ici supposée en position horizontale. Ces figures montrent aussi une partie de l'équipement de levage de la grue, comprenant un câble de levage 3, et une moufle de levage 4 qui porte un crochet de levage 5. Le câble de levage 3, actionné par un treuil de levage non représenté, peut former un mouflage à deux brins 3a et 3b (figure 1), ou un mouflage à brin unique 3c (figure 2). Un dispositif de changement de mouflage, permet de passer du mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b au mouflage à un seul brin 3c, et inversement du mouflage à un seul brin 3c au mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b. Ce dispositif comprend des aménagements particuliers de la pointe de flèche 2 et de la moufle de levage 4.Figures 1 and 2 partially show the arrowhead 2 of a luffing jib crane, the arrow being here assumed in a horizontal position. These figures also show part of the hoisting equipment of the crane, comprising a hoisting rope 3, and a
La pointe de flèche 2 porte une unique poulie 6, sur laquelle passe le câble de levage 3 provenant de l'arrière de la flèche, la poulie 6 déviant ainsi le câble 3 vers le bas, en direction de la moufle 4 située sous la pointe de flèche 2. La poulie 6, située dans un plan vertical, est montée sur un arbre horizontal 7, orienté transversalement à la flèche.The arrowhead 2 carries a
De plus, dans la forme de réalisation montrée sur les figures 1 et 2, la poulie 6 est déplaçable en translation le long de l'arbre horizontal 7, selon la flèche 8. Deux joues latérales 9 et 10, montées autour de l'arbre 7, encadrent la poulie 6. Les deux joues 9 et 10 sont munies de goupilles (non représentées), qui permettent leur blocage en translation dans des positions diverses, sur l'arbre 7.In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
Une patte 11, dirigée vers le bas, est fixée à la charpente de la pointe de flèche 2, plus particulièrement à une traverse terminale 12 de cette charpente, située juste en avant de la poulie 6. La patte 11 présente un trou 13 vers son extrémité inférieure libre.A tab 11, directed downwards, is fixed to the frame of the arrowhead 2, more particularly to an
Sous la traverse 12 est aussi fixée une chape 14, à l'extrémité inférieure de laquelle est monté un émerillon 15 servant de point d'attache pour l'extrémité du câble de levage 3, cette extrémité de câble étant pourvue d'une boîte à coin 16. La chape 14 avec son émerillon 15 est située sur le côté de la patte 11, et elle se trouve ainsi décalée latéralement par rapport au plan médian vertical P de la pointe de flèche 2 (voir aussi les figures 3 et 4).Under the
La moufle de levage 4 possède un carter de forme générale symétrique, constitué principalement de deux plaques parallèles 17 et 18, réunies l'une à l'autre, les deux plaques 17 et 18 étant sensiblement rectangulaires, et verticales. Le crochet de levage 5 est attaché à un axe horizontal 19 qui relie les deux plaques 17 et 18 dans leur partie inférieure.The lifting muffle 4 has a generally symmetrical housing, consisting mainly of two
Entre les deux plaques 17 et 18 de la moufle de levage, est disposée une poulie 20, montée tournante sur un axe horizontal 21 qui relie les deux plaques 17 et 18.Between the two
Le carter de la moufle de levage 4 est muni, à sa partie inférieure, de deux pieds 22 et 23, fixés entre les deux plaques 17 et 18 de part et d'autre du crochet de levage 5.The casing of the
Dans sa partie supérieure, le carter de la moufle de levage 4 comporte des moyens d'attache de l'extrémité du câble de levage 3. Ces moyens sont ici constitués par deux trous 24 et 25, ménagés en correspondance dans les parties supérieures des deux plaques 17 et 18, et par un axe 26 pouvant être engagé, de façon amovible, dans les deux trous 24, 25 et dans la boîte à coin 16 de l'extrémité du câble de levage 3.In its upper part, the lifting
Dans leur partie supérieure, les deux plaques 17 et 18 comportent encore d'autres trous respectifs 27 et 28, ménagés en correspondance et prévus pour recevoir un axe amovible 29, destiné à lier la moufle de levage 4 à la patte 11 lors des opérations de changement de mouflage.In their upper part, the two
Entre les deux plaques 17 et 18, la moufle de levage 4 est équipée d'un guide incurvé 30, porté par un bras pivotant 31. Le guide incurvé 30 présente une gorge 32, adaptée à la grosseur du câble de levage 3. Le bras pivotant 31 est articulé autour d'un axe horizontal 33, situé sur l'un des côtés verticaux de la moufle 4. Ainsi, le guide incurvé 30 est déplaçable, par pivotement du bras 31 autour de l'axe 33, entre une position supérieure active, sensiblement tangente à la poulie 20 (voir figures 2 et 3), et une position inférieure escamotée (figure 1). Des moyens, du genre axe amovible ou goupille, sont prévus pour immobiliser de façon non permanente le guide incurvé 30 dans l'une ou l'autre des deux positions indiquées ci-dessus. Avantageusement, l'axe de pivotement horizontal 33 porte, à l'une de ses extrémités, une tige ou poignée de manoeuvre extérieure (non représentée), utilisable pour commander le passage du guide incurvé 30 de sa position active à sa position escamotée, et inversement.Between the two
Dans toutes les positions de mouflage, le câble de levage 3 passe autour de la partie inférieure de la poulie 20 de la moufle de levage 4. En position de mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b (voir figure 1), la poulie 6 de la pointe de flèche 2 est décalée latéralement, et maintenue dans cette position décalée sur l'arbre 7 par le blocage en translation des deux joues 9 et 10, visibles sur la figure 2. La boîte à coin 16 de l'extrémité du câble de levage 3 est attachée à l'émerillon 15 porté par la chape 14 de la pointe de flèche 2. Le guide incurvé 30 est placé, et immobilisé, dans sa position inférieure escamotée, de sorte qu'il n'intervient pas. La position décalée de la poulie 6, et la position du point d'attache (émerillon 15) de l'extrémité du câble 3, sont alors telles que la moufle de levage 4 soit sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan médian vertical P de la flèche. En d'autres termes, les deux brins 3a et 3b formés par le câble de levage sont situés dans un même plan vertical, perpendiculaire au plan médian vertical P de la flèche. De plus, l'axe de levage, c'est-à-dire l'axe vertical du crochet 5, est contenu dans le plan médian vertical P de la flèche. On note aussi que le plan vertical transversal, contenant la moufle de levage 4, passe sensiblement par la traverse terminale 12 de la pointe de flèche 2, de sorte que la portée maximale de la grue n'est pas réduite (pour une longueur de flèche donnée).In all the hauling positions, the hoisting rope 3 passes around the lower part of the
En position de mouflage à brin unique 3c (figure 2), la poulie 6 de la pointe de flèche 2 est placée dans le plan médian vertical P de la flèche, et elle est maintenue dans cette position médiane sur l'arbre 7 par blocage en translation des deux joues 9 et 10. La boîte à coin 16 de l'extrémité du câble de levage 3 est attachée sur la moufle de levage 4, plus particulièrement sur l'axe 26 engagé dans les deux trous 24 et 25. Dans cette position, le guide incurvé 30 occupe sa position supérieure active, et il est immobilisé dans cette position. Ainsi, à l'endroit où il s'écarte de la poulie 20, le brin unique 3c du câble de levage 3 se trouve guidé vers le centre de la partie supérieure du carter 17, 18 de la moufle 4. Il en résulte qu'en position de mouflage à un seul brin 3c, la moufle de levage 4 est suspendue de façon symétrique et équilibrée, l'axe de levage se situant là encore dans la plan médian vertical P de la flèche, et au plus près de l'extrémité (traverse 12) de la pointe de flèche 2.In the single-stranded hauling position 3c (FIG. 2), the
En se référant aussi à la figure 3, on expliquera maintenant le mode opératoire à suivre, pour le passage de la position de mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b à la position de mouflage à un seul brin 3c.Referring also to FIG. 3, the following procedure will now be explained for the transition from the two-stranded haul position 3a, 3b to the one-stranded haul position 3c.
La flèche relevable de la grue concernée est d'abord amenée en position horizontale. La plate-forme de travail habituelle, non représentée, est amenée vers la pointe de flèche 2, pour permettre l'intervention d'un opérateur. Au poste de commande de la grue, on sélectionne la position « montage » de la grue, pour une mise hors service des limiteurs de course de la grue. La moufle de levage 4 est alors amenée dans sa position la plus haute, juste sous la traverse terminale 12 de la pointe de flèche 2, au-delà de la position maximale de limitation de course haute des crochets de levage 5.The lifting luff of the crane concerned is first brought into horizontal position. The usual working platform, not shown, is brought towards the arrowhead 2, to allow the intervention of an operator. At the control station of the crane, the position "mounting" of the crane is selected, for a decommissioning of the limiters of stroke of the crane. The lifting muffle 4 is then brought to its highest position, just below the
Dans cette position haute, la moufle 4 est fixée temporairement sous la pointe de flèche 2, par engagement de l'axe 29 simultanément dans les deux trous 27 et 28 des plaques 17 et 18 de la moufle 4, et dans le trou 13 de la patte 11 solidaire de la traverse terminale 12 de la pointe de flèche 2.In this high position, the
On donne alors du « mou» au câble de levage 3, et on retire l'axe reliant encore la boîte à coin 16 à l'émerillon 15. L'extrémité du câble 3 devient ainsi libre. Cette extrémité est alors attachée sur le carter 17, 18 de la moufle 4, par engagement de l'axe 26 au travers des deux trous 24, 25 et de la boîte à coin 16.The lifting cable 3 is then given "slack", and the pin connecting the
Ensuite, la poulie 6 de la pointe de flèche 2 est débloquée, et elle est déplacée sur son arbre 7, pour être positionnée dans le plan médian vertical P de la flèche. La poulie 6 est bloquée dans cette nouvelle position, médiane.Then, the
Le guide incurvé 30 est amené dans sa position supérieure active, et il est verrouillé dans cette position, de manière à « centrer» le câble de levage engagé dans sa gorge 32. Ensuite, le câble 3 est tendu par actionnement du treuil de levage, jusqu'à soulager la liaison entre la moufle 4 et la patte 11. Cette liaison est alors supprimée, par retrait de l'axe 29.The
La plate-forme de travail est enfin reculée et ramenée dans sa position de non-utilisation, et on sélectionne la position « travail» de la grue au poste de commande de celle-ci.The work platform is finally moved back to its non-use position, and the "work" position of the crane is selected at the control station thereof.
Le passage de la position de mouflage à un brin 3c à la position de mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b s'effectue en procédant aux opérations précédemment décrites, mais dans l'ordre inverse, cet autre changement de mouflage étant toujours réalisé en fixant temporairement la moufle de levage 4 sous la pointe de flèche 2.The passage from the hauling position to a strand 3c at the two-strand haul position 3a, 3b is carried out by carrying out the operations described above, but in reverse order, this other change of hauling being always achieved by fixing temporarily the
Selon une variante, illustrée sur la figure 3, la moufle de levage 4 comporte, dans sa partie supérieure, une contre-forme fixe 41 située en regard de la position supérieure active du guide incurvé 30. Ainsi, en position de mouflage à un brin 3c, le câble de levage 3 passe entre le guide incurvé 30 et la contre-forme 41, ce qui garantit son positionnement au centre de la partie supérieure du carter 17, 18 de la moufle 4.According to a variant, illustrated in FIG. 3, the
La figure 4 montre une variante de la moufle de levage 4, dans laquelle le guide incurvé pivotant, précédemment décrit, est remplacé par un sabot 34 placé à l'intérieur du carter de la moufle 4, c'est-à-dire entre les deux plaques 17 et 18, au-dessus de la poulie 20. Le sabot 34 possède un côté incurvé, qui guide le câble de levage 3, placé sur ce côté, vers le centre de la partie supérieure de la moufle 4. Ce sabot 34 est immobilisé en position de manière non permanente dans le carter 17, 18 de la moufle, par exemple au moyen de deux axes 35 et 36.FIG. 4 shows a variant of the
Une autre variante, concernant le montage de la poulie 6 de la pointe de flèche 2, est illustrée sur la figure 5. La poulie 6 est ici montée tournante, sur un axe 7, dans une boîte à poulie constituée de deux plaques verticales 37 et 38, parallèles entre elles et au plan médian vertical de la flèche. La boîte à poulie 37, 38 est montée coulissante selon la flèche 8 sur deux glissières horizontales 39 et 40, orientées transversalement à la flèche. Des moyens non représentés sont prévus pour bloquer la boîte à poulie 37, 38 soit dans une position médiane, pour le mouflage à brin unique, soit dans une position décalée latéralement, pour le mouflage à deux brins, la structure et le fonctionnement du dispositif du changement de mouflage n'étant pas modifiés pour le reste.Another variant, relating to the mounting of the
La figure 6 illustre encore une autre variante du montage de la poulie 6 de la pointe de flèche 2. La poulie 6 est ici solidaire de son arbre horizontal 7, lequel est monté à la fois tournant et mobile en translation (flèche 8) dans des paliers 41 et 42. Ainsi, c'est ici l'ensemble constitué par la poulie 6 et par son arbre 7 qui est déplacé transversalement, pour passer de la position de mouflage à brin unique 3c, avec la poulie 6 en position médiane, à la position de mouflage à deux brins 3a, 3b, avec la même poulie 6 décalée latéralement.FIG. 6 illustrates yet another variant of the assembly of the
Enfin, la figure 7 illustre une solution alternative dans laquelle, sur la pointe de flèche 2, la poulie 6 unique, et mobile transversalement, des formes de réalisation précédentes est remplacée par deux poulies coaxiales 6a et 6b, montées sur le même arbre horizontal 7 orienté transversalement à la flèche. La première poulie 6a est située en position centrale, c'est-à-dire dans le plan médian vertical de la flèche, et elle est utilisée pour le mouflage à brin unique. La seconde poulie 6b est située en position latérale, donc décalée par rapport au plan médian vertical de la flèche, et elle est utilisée pour le mouflage à deux brins. Le passage du mouflage à un brin au mouflage à deux brins, ou inversement, est effectué en faisant passer le câble de levage de la poulie 6a à la poulie 6b, ou de la poulie 6b à la poulie 6a. L'opération est réalisée manuellement, lorsque la moufle 4 est fixée temporairement sous la pointe de flèche 2 (comme décrit précédemment).Finally, FIG. 7 illustrates an alternative solution in which, on the arrowhead 2, the
Le dispositif de changement de mouflage, objet de l'invention, est notamment applicable à des grues à flèche relevable sans chariot, de hauteur importante, et travaillant à des vitesses de levage élevées.The device for changing the hauling, object of the invention, is particularly applicable to luffing jib cranes without trolley, high height, and working at high lifting speeds.
