Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crane control, and particularly to a multi-mechanism integrated variable frequency speed control system for a crane. Background Art
[0002] At present, most of the variable frequency control systems for cranes use one frequency converter installed in one variable frequency control box to control one mechanism of the crane respectively. Since the mechanisms of the crane include four mechanisms: main hoist, auxiliary hoist, trolley mechanism, and crab mechanism, four control boxes are required to install four frequency converters, which results in a large number of control boxes, and thus requires a large occupied volume and high cost. For this reason, the prior art stacks the variable frequency control boxes of the four mechanisms in a large variable frequency control box body, and its control and protection functions are not comprehensive. Since the four variable frequency control boxes are stacked in a large variable frequency control box body, it requires the user to configure relevant protection and control functions according to the on-site situation, which in turn leads to the need to arrange complex cable lines and a large amount of construction work. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a multi-mechanism integrated variable frequency speed control system for a crane, which integrates four independent variable frequency control mechanisms into four inverter units arranged in parallel, and controls the operations of the four inverter units through a rectifier unit and a control unit, making the entire control system simple in structure and ensuring the protection function and control function of the system.
