[0001] This application claims the priority of Chinese patent application No. 202110050727.0, filed on January 14, 2021, and entitled "CRANE SUPER-LIFTING RADIUS CONTROL METHOD, APPARATUS, AND CRANE".TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] This application relates to the technical field of working machinery, and in particular to a crane super-lifting radius control method, a system, and a crane.BACKGROUND

[0003] For a crane with a super-lifting apparatus, if the rated load of the crane is to be changed, it is required to adjust the super-lifting radius in order to ensure the balance of the crane. For example, to lift a heavier article, it is required to increase the super-lifting radius.

[0004] At present, the typical way of adjusting the super-lifting radius is to manually operate the handles of the main luffing winch and the super-lift luffing winch at the same time, or to switch between the handles of the main luffing winch and the super-lift luffing winch. This requires a high operating level of the operator, which leads to inaccurate adjustment of the super-lifting radius and low efficiency of manual operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0019] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in this application. It is apparent that the described embodiments are a part, rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0020] A crane super-lifting radius control method, a system, and a crane of this application will be described below in conjunction with FIG. 1 to FIG. 6.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an embodiment of this application provides a crane super-lifting radius control method. The crane super-lifting radius control method includes: step 110 to step 140 as follows.

[0022] Step 110: Obtain physical state information of a boom frame and a super-lifting boom 11.

[0023] It can be understood that the crane may include a boom frame and a super-lifting boom 11. The boom frame may include a boom 10 and a luffing jib 12. A top of the boom 10 is provided with a hook. An article may be hung up by the hook. The super-lifting boom 11 is an apparatus that is arranged opposite to the boom 10 and functions as a balance. The super-lifting boom 11 is also known as a super-lifting mast. A counterweight is suspended at a top of the super-lifting boom 11. The counterweight, the super-lifting boom 11, the boom 10, the lifted article and other apparatuses of the crane can form a force balance.

[0024] The super-lifting radius is the length of the projection of the super-lifting boom 11 on the horizontal plane. The hook working radius R2 is the projection of the boom 10 and the luffing jib 12 (under the working condition that there exists a jib) on the horizontal plane, or the distance between the hook and the center of gyration of the crane. When the hook working radius R2 remains constant, if the weight of the article lifted by the hook is to be adjusted, the size of the super-lifting radius may be adjusted.

[0025] The luffing jib 12 may be selected according to the working condition of the crane.

[0026] Here, the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 may be obtained by means of a detection apparatus mounted on the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11. The physical state information may include: a boom angle, a super-lifting boom angle, a luffing jib angle, a boom tension, a luffing jib tension, a boom back-stop pressure and a super-lift back-stop pressure. Particularly, the boom angle is an included angle between the boom 10 and the horizontal line. The super-lifting boom angle is an included angle between the super-lifting boom 11 and the horizontal line. The luffing jib angle is an included angle between the luffing jib 12 and the horizontal line.

[0027] Step 120: Receive first input of a user.

[0028] It can be understood that the crane may receive the first input of the user. For example, the crane may have a display screen, and the user may give the first input by means of keys or a touch module according to a query window displayed on the display screen. For example, the query window displayed on the display screen may include: Please input a target super-lifting radius. The user may input the target super-lifting radius according to a prompt message of the query window.

[0029] Step 130: Determine, in response to the first input, a target super-lifting radius.

[0030] It can be understood that the target super-lifting radius can be obtained according to the first input of the user. The target super-lifting radius is the target value to which the user wants to adjust the super-lifting radius.

[0031] Step 140: Adjust, when the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom is suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius, a super-lifting radius on the basis of the target super-lifting radius and the physical state information.

[0032] It can be understood that whether the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 are suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius may be determined according to the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11. For example, if the angle of the super-lifting boom 11 has reached the minimum value, the angle of the super-lifting boom 11 can no longer be reduced, so it is not suitable to increase the super-lifting radius. For another example, if the pressures of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 have exceeded the limit values, it is also not suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius. Only when the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 is suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius, can the super-lifting radius be adjusted.

[0033] The physical state information of the super-lifting boom 11 may include the angle of the super-lifting boom 11. According to the angle of the super-lifting boom 11, an actual super-lifting radius of the super-lifting boom 11 can be calculated. According to a difference between the actual super-lifting radius of the super-lifting boom 11 and the target super-lifting radius, the super-lifting boom 11 can be adjusted to make the difference between the actual super-lifting radius and the target super-lifting radius smaller and smaller, that is, to make the actual super-lifting radius closer and closer to the target super-lifting radius.

[0034] Here, there is no need to manually adjust the angle of the super-lifting boom 11. Instead, by comparing the actual angle of the super-lifting boom 11 with the target angle of the super-lifting boom 11 corresponding to the target super-lifting radius, the super-lifting boom 11 is controlled to adjust the angle, so that the actual angle gradually approaches the target angle value, thereby implementing the auto-adjustment of the super-lifting radius.

[0035] According to the crane super-lifting radius control method provided by this application, upon determining that the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 are suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius, an angle of the super-lifting boom 11 is automatically adjusted by combining the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 with the target super-lifting radius inputted by the user, and thus, the auto-adjustment of the super-lifting boom 11 can be implemented, the adjustment of the super-lifting radius is more accurate, and the efficiency is improved.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the physical state information includes a boom frame angle. The adjusting the super-lifting radius on the basis of the target super-lifting radius and the physical state information includes in step 140: controlling speeds of a main luffing winch 21 and a super-lift luffing winch 20 on the basis of the target super-lifting radius, the boom frame angle and the super-lifting boom angle to adjust the super-lifting radius.

[0037] It can be understood that the actual super-lifting radius can be calculated according to the super-lifting boom angle. The actual super-lifting radius is the product of the length of the super-lifting boom 11 and the cosine of the super-lifting boom angle. The actual super-lifting radius is compared with the target super-lifting radius. If the actual super-lifting radius is less than the target super-lifting radius, it is determined that the super-lifting boom 11 should move toward a direction in which the super-lifting radius increases, and at this time, the main luffing winch 21 may be controlled to wind and the super-lift luffing winch 20 may be controlled to unwind. If the actual super-lifting radius is greater than the target super-lifting radius, it is determined that the super-lifting boom 11 should move toward a direction in which the super-lifting radius decreases, and at this time, the main luffing winch 21 may be controlled to unwind and the super-lift luffing winch 20 may be controlled to wind.

[0038] Of course, the actual hook working radius R2 may also be calculated according to the boom frame angle. The actual hook working radius R2 is the product of the length of the boom frame and the cosine of the boom frame angle. When adjusting the super-lifting radius R1, it is required to ensure that the product of the actual hook working radius R2 and the gravity of the article on the hook is balanced with the product of the actual super-lifting radius and the gravity of the counterweight, thereby avoiding the risk of crane overturning in the process of adjusting the super-lifting radius.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the controlling the wind / unwind speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 on the basis of the target super-lifting radius and the boom frame angle to adjust the super-lifting radius includes: carrying out a PID adjustment on the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 of the crane while ensuring that the boom frame angle remains constant to adjust the super-lifting radius.

[0040] Here, the PID adjustment may be carried out on the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 of the crane while ensuring that the angle of the boom 10 in the boom frame remains constant to adjust the super-lifting radius.

[0041] Of course, there may be errors in actual operation. For example, in a case that the boom frame angle is 75 degrees, there may be an error of 0.1 degrees or even less. Here, the boom frame angle is allowed to change slightly within a certain error range.

[0042] It can be understood that when controlling the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20, the boom frame angle can be kept constant, that is, while ensuring that the working radius of the hook remains constant. The PID adjustment is carried out on the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 of the crane, that is, only the super-lifting radius R1 is adjusted, while the hook working radius R2 is not adjusted.

[0043] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, upon determining that the physical state information is suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius, an operating handle of the main luffing winch is controlled without considering the direction and amplitude of the operating handle. When the driver pushes the operating handle, it is equivalent to giving the PID system a signal to start adjustment. At this time, with the boom angle at the moment the auto-adjustment is activated, the PID adjustment is carried out on the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 of the crane. The main luffing handle can control the speed of the main luffing winch 21. The speed of the super-lift luffing winch 20 is controlled by the PID adjustment result. When the super-lifting radius is adjusted to the target super-lifting radius, the PID adjustment ends. The system stops the output of a proportional valve or a proportional pump. The display shows that auto-adjustment of the super-lifting radius has been completed. At this time, the operating handle returns to its neutral position.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the crane further includes: a safety limit component. The safety limit component is electrically connected to a controller. The safety limit component is configured to feed back a limit signal to the controller when recognizing the limit signal.

[0045] The super-lifting radius control method further includes: confirming that a limit signal is detected, and controlling the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 to stop working.

[0046] It can be understood that the safety limit component may be connected to the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus of the crane, and can detect whether the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus has reached the limit position. When the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus has reached the limit position, the safety limit component detects the limit signal. At this time, if the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 continue working, a risk may be raised. At this time, the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 are controlled to stop working.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an embodiment of this application further provides a crane. The crane includes: a boom frame, a super-lifting boom 11, a super-lift luffing winch 20 and a main luffing winch 21.

[0048] Particularly, the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 are connected to the detection apparatus, and the detection apparatus is configured to detect physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11.

[0049] Here, the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 may be obtained by means of a detection apparatus mounted on the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11. The physical state information may include: a boom angle, a super-lifting boom angle, a luffing jib angle, a boom tension, a luffing jib tension, a boom back-stop pressure and a super-lift back-stop pressure. Particularly, the boom angle is an included angle between the boom 10 and the horizontal line. The super-lifting boom angle is an included angle between the super-lifting boom 11 and the horizontal line. The luffing jib angle is an included angle between the luffing jib 12 and the horizontal line.

[0050] The receiving apparatus is configured to receive first input of a user.

[0051] The crane may receive the first input of the user. For example, the crane may have a display screen, and the user may give the first input by means of keys or a touch module according to a query window displayed on the display screen. For example, the query window displayed on the display screen may include: Please input a target super-lifting radius. The user may input the target super-lifting radius according to a prompt message of the query window.

[0052] The detection apparatus, the receiving apparatus, the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0053] The controller may be electrically connected to a power supply module of the crane, and the power supply module may supply power to the controller.

[0054] The controller is configured to control the speeds of the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 on the basis of the first input and the physical state information to adjust a super-lifting radius.

[0055] It can be understood that the target super-lifting radius can be obtained according to the first input of the user. The target super-lifting radius is the target value to which the user wants to adjust the super-lifting radius.

[0056] Whether the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 are suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius may be determined according to the physical state information of the boom 10 and the super-lifting boom 11. For example, if the angle of the super-lifting boom 11 has reached the minimum value, the angle of the super-lifting boom 11 can no longer be reduced, so it is not suitable to increase the super-lifting radius. For another example, if the pressures of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 have exceeded the limit values, it is also not suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius R1. Only when the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 is suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius R1, can the super-lifting radius R1 be adjusted.

[0057] The physical state information of the super-lifting boom 11 may include the angle of the super-lifting boom 11. According to the angle of the super-lifting boom 11, an actual super-lifting radius of the super-lifting boom 11 can be calculated. According to a difference between the actual super-lifting radius of the super-lifting boom 11 and the target super-lifting radius, the super-lifting boom 11 can be adjusted to make the difference between the actual super-lifting radius and the target super-lifting radius smaller and smaller, that is, to make the actual super-lifting radius closer and closer to the target super-lifting radius.

[0058] Here, there is no need to manually adjust the angle of the super-lifting boom 11. Instead, by comparing the actual angle of the super-lifting boom 11 with the target angle of the super-lifting boom 11 corresponding to the target super-lifting radius, the super-lifting boom 11 is controlled to adjust the angle, so that the actual angle gradually approaches the target angle value, thereby implementing the auto-adjustment of the super-lifting radius R1.

[0059] According to the crane provided by this application, upon determining that the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 are suitable for an adjustment of the super-lifting radius, an angle of the super-lifting boom 11 is automatically adjusted by combining the physical state information of the boom frame and the super-lifting boom 11 with the target super-lifting radius inputted by the user, and thus, the auto-adjustment of the super-lifting boom 11 can be implemented, the adjustment of the super-lifting radius is more accurate, and the efficiency is improved.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the boom frame includes: a boom 10 and a luffing jib 12.

[0061] A top of the boom 10 is provided with a hook. An article may be hung up by the hook. The boom 10 may bear the gravity of the article. The detection apparatus is connected to the boom 10. The detection apparatus is configured to detect physical state information of the boom 10.

[0062] The luffing jib 12 may be located at a top end of the boom 10. The hook may be arranged on the luffing jib 12. The luffing jib 12 may be arranged according to the specific working condition of the crane. The detection apparatus is connected to the luffing jib 12.

The safety limit component is configured to feed back a limit signal to the controller when recognizing the limit signal. The controller is configured to control the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 to stop working on the basis of the limit signal.

[0074] It can be understood that the safety limit component may be connected to the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus of the crane, and can detect whether the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus has reached the limit position. When the boom 10, the super-lifting boom 11 or other apparatus has reached the limit position, the safety limit component detects the limit signal. At this time, if the main luffing winch 21 and the super-lift luffing winch 20 continue working, a risk may be raised.
