[0036] Example 1

[0037] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a protective system for the free-face of a crane. The crane includes two main crane beams and a trolley mechanism slidably disposed between the two main crane beams, forming a free-face between the two main crane beams.

[0056] The protective net is a metal protective net, which is made of longitudinal and transverse metal mesh wires. The output end of the reel motor is connected with the connecting shaft at one end of the storage reel through a speed changer and a torque limiter.

[0057] Embodiment 6

[0058] The embodiment provides a control process of a protection system suitable for an air face of a crane, as follows:

[0059] S1, determining the operation speed of the air face protection system based on operation parameters of a lifting trolley mechanism:

[0060] According to the motor rotating speed of the lifting trolley mechanism and the speed reduction ratio of a speed reducer, the rotating speed of a storage drum of the air face protection system is calculated, that is, the releasing and shrinking speed of the metal protection net.

[0061] Supposing that the rated rotating speed of the operation motor of the lifting trolley mechanism is n1, the speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer is i1, the wheel diameter of the lifting trolley mechanism is D1, and there is no pulley set, so the pulley set ratio is m1=1, then the rated operation speed of the lifting trolley mechanism is v1=(π*D1*n1) / (i1*m1).

[0062] Supposing that the rated rotating speed of the three-in-one motor of the air face protection system is n2, the speed reduction ratio of the speed reducer is i2, the drum diameter is D2, and there is no pulley set, so the pulley set ratio is m2=1, then the rated rotating speed of the drum of the air face protection system is v2=(π*D2*n2) / (i2*m2).

[0063] According to the proportional relationship between v1 and v2, the speed values of each gear of the motor of the air face protection system are calculated in sequence by taking the speed values of each gear of the motor of the lifting trolley mechanism as reference.

[0064] S3, correcting the operation speed of the air face protection system:

[0065] The position detection switch is installed at a proper position at the front end of the metal protection net and the bottom of the lifting trolley mechanism, so as to monitor the synchronization of the metal protection net and the lifting trolley mechanism in real time, and the operation speed of the air face protection system is adjusted in time according to the monitored data.

[0066] For example, Figure 4As shown, during the forward movement of the trolley mechanism, the crane PLC controller reads the deviation value d of the position detection switch in real time. If d is positive and d1 < d < d2 (based on the zero point of the position detection switch, d1 is the set maximum allowable deviation distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the metal protective net release speed increases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); if d is negative and -d2 < d < -d1 (based on the zero point of the position detection switch, d1 is the set maximum allowable deviation distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the metal protective net release speed decreases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs); within a specified time t, if -d1 ≤ d ≤ d1 (based on the lower limit, d is a certain distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs), the drum rotation returns to normal speed; otherwise, the PLC issues an alarm command.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, during the retraction of the trolley mechanism, the crane PLC controller reads the deviation value d of the position detection switch in real time. If d is negative and -d2 < d < -d1 (based on the zero point of the position detection switch, d1 is a certain distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the retraction speed of the metal protective net increases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs). If d is positive and d1 < d < d2 (based on the zero point of the position detection switch, d1 is a certain distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs; d2 is the limit value of the position detection switch), the retraction speed of the metal protective net decreases by 20% (which can be adjusted appropriately according to needs). Within a specified time t, if -d1 ≤ d ≤ d1 (based on the lower limit, d is a certain distance value, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs), the drum rotation returns to normal speed; otherwise, the crane PLC controller issues an alarm command.
