Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tower crane control, and more specifically, it relates to a device for switching between local control and remote control of a tower crane. Background Technique

[0002] With the popular application of large tower cranes in various large infrastructure projects, the performance requirements for tower cranes are getting higher and higher, especially the safety requirements. Traditional tower crane control generally uses a dedicated driver to operate the tower crane in the tower crane cab. At the same time, on the construction site, there is another commander who uses communication devices such as mobile phones or telephones to conduct on-site auxiliary communication and guidance for the driver in the tower crane cab. Only in this way can more precise actual on-demand control of the tower crane be achieved.

[0003] However, this way of controlling the tower crane operation through cross-regional communication is still restricted by the communication method. It is difficult for the driver in the cab to accurately perform the operations required by the on-site commander, and repeated communication and adjustment are needed, which has a negative impact on the actual operation efficiency and also has a certain impact on the accuracy of the tower crane operation. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the actual remote and local control methods of the tower crane to obtain more efficient and accurate tower crane control. Summary of the Utility Model

[0022] As Figure 2 shown, the present utility model provides a tower crane local control and remote control switching device, including: a switching module, a local controller, a remote controller, an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve 2, a shuttle valve group 1, a hoisting pump 6, a luffing pump 7, and a slewing pump 8;

[0023] The switching module is respectively connected to the local controller and the remote controller, and the remote controller is connected to the remote control responder by radio waves; the local controller and the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve 2 are respectively connected to the control end of the shuttle valve group 1, and the output end of the shuttle valve group 1 is connected to the hoisting pump 6, the luffing pump 7, and the slewing pump 8 through hydraulic pipelines; the shuttle valve group 1 is used to control the actions of the hoisting pump 6, the luffing pump 7, and the slewing pump 8. The switching module is used to switch the control of the shuttle valve group 1 by the local controller or the remote control responder;

[0024] The switching module is a solenoid valve 3 connected to the tower crane, and the remote control responder is an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve 2.

[0025] The solenoid valve 3 is used to switch the control mode of the shuttle valve group 1, and the control mode of the shuttle valve group 1 includes local controller control and electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve 2 control. When the solenoid valve 3 is energized, the shuttle valve group 1 is controlled by the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve 2, and when the solenoid valve 3 is de-energized, the shuttle valve group 1 is controlled by the local controller.

[0026] Specifically, the remote controller is a wireless charging type controller, and several control buttons are arranged on the remote controller. The control buttons are used to issue action instructions for the hoisting pump 6, the luffing pump 7, and the slewing pump 8. During remote control, the remote controller and the electro-hydraulic proportional reducing valve 2 are connected wirelessly. The control buttons on the remote controller send corresponding electrical signals to the electro-hydraulic proportional reducing valve 2. After receiving the corresponding control electrical signals, the electro-hydraulic proportional reducing valve 2 makes a response, thereby performing corresponding control operations on the shuttle valve group 1 to complete the remote control of the tower crane.

[0027] Specifically, the local controller includes a local luffing and slewing operation handle 5 and a local hoisting operation handle 4.

[0028] Specifically, the solenoid valve 3 is provided with a remote / local operation switching knob for controlling the energized and de-energized states. The remote / local operation switching knob is arranged in the cab of the tower crane.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown in the local-remote switching electro-hydraulic control hydraulic schematic diagram of the tower crane, the solenoid valve 3 is controlled by the remote / local operation switching knob in the cab. As Figure 3 shown, when the solenoid valve 3 is de-energized, the local luffing and slewing operation handle 5 and the local hoisting operation handle 4 in the cab of the tower crane can be operated to control the oil to pass through each sub-valve of the shuttle valve group 1 located on the tower crane platform to control the hoisting, luffing, and slewing directions of the tower crane, and the driver can perform local control of the tower crane;

[0030] When the solenoid valve 3 located on the tower crane platform is energized, the electro-hydraulic proportional reducing valve 2 located on the tower crane platform is controlled by the pilot handle lever and other control buttons on the remote controller.
