Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of maritime cranes, and in particular that of articulated boom cranes for offshore application.
  • such an articulated boom conventionally comprises two successive arrows: a support boom and a terminal boom.
  • the support boom (commonly called “hand boom” in English) is conventionally articulated on a support structure.
  • the terminal boom (commonly called “jib” in English) is itself conventionally articulated on the support boom.
  • the second jacks are conventionally located between the facing faces of the two parts of the articulated boom: the upstream end of the cylinder is secured to the main boom and the downstream end of the rod is secured to the articulated boom .
  • the support structure and the upstream end of the main boom cooperate by means of upstream articulation means defining an upstream articulation axis.
  • downstream end of the main boom and the upstream end of the terminal boom cooperate by means of downstream articulation means defining a downstream articulation axis.
  • the upstream and downstream articulation axes advantageously extend parallel to one another.
  • said at least downstream linear actuator is secured to, on the one hand, one of the side faces of the support arm and, on the other hand, one of the side faces of said end boom.
  • Such a configuration has the particular advantage of providing an improved lever arm between the main boom and the end boom.
  • This new design also makes it possible to increase the angle of articulation between the parts of the articulated boom.
  • downstream linear actuator also improves the ability of the articulated boom to support a load in a given position, particularly when the downstream linear actuator is fully retracted or fully extended.
  • the present invention also relates to a machine for offshore application, equipped with an articulated jib crane according to the invention.
  • the articulated jib crane 1 according to the invention (also called “crane 1”, or “skull knuckle boom” in English) is suitable for offshore applications.
  • Such an articulated jib crane 1 is advantageously designed to equip a machine for offshore application (not shown - also called “offshore machine”). This crane 1 is thus suitable for being on board the “offshore” machine.
  • gear includes in particular marine gear, in particular ships, pontoons, cranes, barges and offshore platforms.
  • This crane 1 is thus useful, without being restrictive, for the installation or dismantling of transport infrastructures, repairs or operations on board.
  • the support structure 2 advantageously consists of a barrel or mat, intended to be rotated about a vertical longitudinal axis 2 'by means of maneuvering means (not shown, advantageously hydraulic or electric).
  • the winch drum 7 and the rotational drive means 8 together form a winch, advantageously conventional in itself.
  • the rotational drive means 8 are in particular chosen from electric or hydraulic motor means.
  • the articulated boom 3 is advantageously equipped with pulleys 9, which are dimensioned, distributed and arranged in order, to guide the elongated lifting member L between the winch drum 7 and the load to be lifted (not shown).
  • the main 31 and end 32 arrows thus advantageously have a general parallelepipedal shape.
  • the side faces 311, 321 advantageously extend parallel (or approximately parallel) with respect to each other, preferably vertically.
  • the upstream end 312 of the main boom 31 is assembled with the support structure 2.
  • the downstream end 313 of the main boom 31 and the upstream end 322 of the terminal boom 32 are for their part assembled together. And the downstream end 323 of the terminal boom 32 is free.
  • the support structure 2 and the upstream end 312 of the main boom 31 cooperate by means of upstream articulation means 35 defining an upstream articulation axis 35 ', advantageously horizontal.
  • the main jib 31 is intended to be maneuvered in rotation relative to the support structure 2, around this upstream articulation axis 35 'located at its upstream end 312.
  • downstream end 313 of the main boom 31 and the upstream end 322 of the terminal boom 32 for their part cooperate by means of downstream articulation means 36 defining a downstream articulation axis 36 ', advantageously horizontal.
  • end jib 32 is intended to be maneuvered in rotation relative to the main jib 31, around the downstream articulation axis 36 'located at its upstream end 322.
  • the upstream 35 and downstream 36 articulation means advantageously consist of articulations, for example in the form of rolling bearings, which are formed between the assembled ends (for example of the bearing / journal type).
  • the upstream 35 ′ and downstream 36 ′ articulation axes extend parallel to one another, advantageously horizontally.
  • linear actuators 51, 52 advantageously consist of hydraulic jacks, preferably associated with a hydraulic unit (not shown).
  • Linear actuators 51, 52 can also consist of electric jacks.
  • Each linear actuator 51, 52 advantageously comprises a cylinder 511, 521 and a rod 512, 522.
  • the rod 512, 522 for its part has a free downstream end 512 b , 522 b .
  • said at least one downstream linear actuator 52 fits into a cylindrical space E52 (also called maximum horizontal width).
  • cylindrical size is meant in particular the external volume defined by said at least one downstream linear actuator 52, in particular by its cylinder 521.
  • Such an arrangement of said at least downstream linear actuator 52, according to the invention, then provides an improved lever arm between the main boom 31 and the end boom 32.
  • the cylindrical size E52 of said at least one downstream linear actuator 52 advantageously extends outside the lateral space E31 , E32 of the main 31 and end arrows 32 (and more particularly outside the lateral space E31 , E32 of the part of the main 31 and end 32 arrows facing said at least downstream linear actuator 52).
  • said at least one downstream linear actuator 52 is offset laterally with respect to the boom parts 31, 32, so as to extend opposite the lateral faces 311, 321 of the latter.
  • Said at least one downstream linear actuator 52 is thus located outside the intermediate space delimited, on the one hand, between the vertical planes P311 of the main boom 31 and, on the other hand, between the vertical planes P321 of the boom terminal 32.
  • the maneuvering means 5 comprise two downstream linear actuators 52, identical and coplanar, located on either side of the main boom 31 and of the terminal boom 32.
  • Each downstream linear actuator 52 is thus secured to a pair of side faces 311, 321 located on the same side of the articulated boom 3: a side face 311 of the main boom 31 and a side face 321 of the end boom 32, located on the same side of the articulated boom 3.
  • the upstream assembly means 10 are here secured to the cylinder 521 of the downstream linear actuator 52, at a distance from its upstream end 521 a , advantageously at its downstream end 521 b .

  • the cylinder 521 extends opposite one of the side faces 311 of the main boom 31; and the rod 522 extends opposite one of the side faces 321 of the terminal boom 32 and one of the side faces 311 of the main boom 31.
  • Such a combination of upstream assembly means 10 and downstream assembly means 11, in particular the "ball joint" function of the upstream assembly means 10, confers an optimized length in buckling on said at least downstream linear actuator 52, frees them. rotations and eliminates parasitic moments, in particular parasitic bending moments.
  • the spider 101 thus defines two degrees of freedom in rotation R1 , R2 , perpendicular to each other (advantageously a vertical axis of rotation R1 and a horizontal axis of rotation R2 ).
  • the spider 101 here consists of a ring within which the downstream end 521b of the cylinder 521 of the downstream linear actuator 52 is inserted.
  • the ring 101 has two pairs of concentric orifices 1011, 1012 each defining one of the two degrees of freedom in rotation R1 , R2.
  • Two first concentric orifices 1011 receive journals 1013 cooperating with complementary blind orifices 1014, concentric, carried by the downstream end 521 b of the cylinder 521 of the downstream linear actuator 52 (advantageously provided on the closing ring 521 b on the rod side, designated by the same reference 521 b for simplicity), here to define the vertical axis of rotation R1 .
  • Two second concentric orifices 1012 receive journals 1015 carried by the fork 102 (one attached and the other fixed), here to define the horizontal axis of rotation R2.
