[ 5 7] ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a crane that is provided with a principal or first hydraulic lifting stage, co-operating with a first lever system and with two secondary hydraulic stages for controlling the move ment of two further lever systems that are mutually pivoted with respect to each other and with respect to the first stage through an intermediate lever mechanism which does not have its own hydraulic plunger and which is actuated in movement by the movement of the first lifting stage.
5 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures PAIENTED m1 3w 3.828.939
SHEET 2. [If 5 PATENTEU AUG 1 3 I974 SHEET 5 OF 5 1 THREE-STAGE SELF-PROPELLED CRANE One feature of the crane according to the improvement of the present invention derives from the rocker lever structure of the second or mechanical intermediate stage whose relative movement and positions are determined by the movement and the positions imparted to the first stage which, in turn, is formed by a device of articulated levers that are piloted by a hydraulic group comprising a cylinder and piston which is fed by a suitable pump.
Another feature of the improved crane resides in the fact that, at any intermediate height, the nacelle is locked between the lower height deriving from the at rest position of the crane and the highest extension of the same. The bottom plane of the nacelle remains perfectly horizontal.
A further feature of the crane according to the present invention resides in the fact that the terminal nacelle is not of the known pendular type, whose stability is controlled by electromechanical devices which are sensitive to the inclinations of the plane of its bottom relative to the horizontal plane. Instead, the nacelle is rigidly supported by a terminal support having a substantially triangular outline whose vertices are the seats of three articulations with their axes parallel to one another and which do not change their relative position for any position that the nacelle may assume in space with respect to any position imposed to the lifting device.
Other features of the crane according to the invention will be evident from the following specification and with reference to the drawings that are annexed only as a demonstrative and non-limiting example, wherein: v
FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevational view of the complete crane comprising this invention;
FIGS. 2 and 2a are partial perspective views illustrating the complete crane out along line x-x, due to space necessities;
FIG. 3 shows, in a side view, the crane whenpartially lowered and completely lowered; and
FIG. 4 illustrates in a side view the same crane according to a structural variant wherein the intermediate mechanical stage is eliminated.
With reference to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 to 3, the crane base comprises a sturdy forkshaped support with parallel branches 5 that are integral with a bracket 6 (FIG. 2) on which the closed end of the hydraulic cylinder 7, having a piston 8, is articulated. This base group may be mounted on a carriage 9 that is provided with stabilizer arms 10, motor group 11 and drive means 12 or the base group be mounted on a thrust bearing carried by a motor vehicle or a part of a railway carriage or any other means intended for specific services as aeronautical, electrical, antifire, etc.,
The ends of a pair of levers are articulated on pivot pins 13 proximate the upper end of the forkshaped support 5 while the ends of another pair of levers 16 are articulated on pivot pins 14 at the same end of the support 5. The other end of the levers 15 is articulated on pivot pins 17 to an end of an angled lever 18. The lever 16 is articulated on pivot pin 18a on the same lever 18 and therefore, in co-operation with the lever 15, conditions the movement of the lever 18. The opposite end of the lever 18 is articulated on pivot pin 19 in a position almost median with respect to a pair of levers 20. The free end of the piston 8 is articulated on a pivot pin 21 in a median position with respect to the angled lever 18. A pair of tie rods 22 is articulated on pivot pins 23 of a beak 16a of the levers 16 and respectively, at 24 on one end of the rocker arm formed by levers 20. A pair of tie rods 25 is respectively articulated on pivot pins 26 and 27 of a beak 18a of the angled lever 18 and on the end of a lever 28 that is, in turn, articulated on pivot pin 29 on the end of the lever 20 and on pivot pin 30 on a cradle 31. A pair of tie rods 32 is articulated at one end thereof on pivot pins 33 on a beak 20a of the lever 20 and at the opposite end on pivot 34 of the base of a cradle 31, respectively. To the base of the cradle 31, pivot pins 35 and 36 are articulated the ends of parallel levers 37, 38 the opposite ends of which are articulated on pivot pins 39, 40 on the back of an overturned cradle 41 whose base is articulated on pivot pins 42 and 43 to the ends of parallel levers 44 and 45. The opposite ends of the levers 44 and 45 are articulated on pivot pins 46 and 47 on two vertices of a triangular support 48 at whose third vertex is firmly engaged a nacelle 49.
A hydraulic cylinder 50 having a piston 51 is articulated at one free end on pivot pin 52, the end of the cradle 31 and at its opposite end 53 at an intermediate point of the levers 38. Another hydraulic cylinder 54 having a piston 55, is articulated at its free ends on pivot pins 56 and 57 on an intermediate point between the levers 44 and the base of the overturned cradle 41, respectively.
The at rest" position, with the crane being completely lowered, is shown in FIG. 3 and indicated by A. Starting from said position and by the actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 7 and piston 8, the crane operates as follows:
By the feeding of the cylinder 7 with a fluid under pressure, preferably oil, the piston 8 lifts the arm 18 which, due to the presence of the articulation 17 with respect to the arm 15 and the articulation 18a with respect to the arm 16, moves in such a way as to cause the arms 15 and 16 to move along an arc in a clockwise direction. At the same time as these movements, the tie rods 22 cause the rocker arm 20 to oscillate around the articulation axis of the pivot pin 19 in a clockwise direction, while the tie rods 25 displace the angled lever 28 an arcuate movement in a counterclockwise direction. The lever 28, co-operating with the tie rods 32, actuates the cradle 31 in an arcuate movement and with respect to which the parallel levers 37 and 38 are articulated. By the actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 50 and the piston 51, the parallel levers 37 and 38 are driven in the position shown on FIGS. 1 and 2, 2a. The arcuate movement in a counterclockwise direction imparted to the parallel levers 37 and 38, positions automatically the overturned cradle 41. The hydraulic cylinder 54 and piston moves the parallel levers 44 and 45 and the nacelle 49 to the position indicated by D or the position indicated by D1, or any of the intermediate positions comprised within the arc that the parallel levers 44 and 45 may describe by rotating around the articulation axes of the pivot pins 42 and 43.
The position D which may be imparted to the nacelle 49 drives it so as to reach the maximum lifting height which may be obtained with the crane, while the position D1 and the intermediate positions between the D and D1 positions, drive the nacelle in an overhanging condition with respect to the lifting kinematic column, without the slightest lessening of the stability of the machine the center of gravity of which, for any positionof the nacelle 49, does not undergo any appreciable displacement, in relation with the prescribed load range.
The principal features of the apparatus, according to the improvement so far described may be summarized as follows:
The movement of the kinematic assembly, under the thrust of the principal hydraulic group, comprising the cylinder 7 and the piston 8, is gradual and without brusque jerks. To the arcuate and counterclockwise directed movement of the lever 18, is opposed the arcuate and clockwise directed movement of the lever 28 with a harmonic development of the assembly, in the lifting as well as in the lowering of the apparatus and a counterbalanced position of the moving masses whose movement is realized in such a way as to discharge the gravitational components only on the hubs of the various articulations, as said members do not present, as known and when opportunely dimensioned, any technical difficulties for their best and more suitable realization.
Another feature of this invention derives, as already mentioned in the introduction, from the fact that for any relative position imparted to the kinematic assembly of levers mutually articulated of the machine, in relation to the height where it is desired to stop the nacelle 49, the latter presents the bottom plane perfectly horizontal and this condition is in no way affected during the movement of the machine, both in the lifting and in the lowering phase of the same. An analogous condition occurs for the cradle 31, the position of which remains unvaried for any movement phase of the kinematic system and/or any lifting height imposed to the crane or lifting machine according to the invention.
With reference to the structural variant represented in FIG. 4, while keeping unchanged the particular features so far described of the machine, the cradle 31 instead of being articulated on the angled lever 28 and on the tie rod 32, is directly articulated on the ends of the lever 18 and the tie rods 22, without changes also in the two upper stages actuable by the hydraulic cylinders 50 and 54.
Substantially, according to this variant, the machine operates without the intermediate, mechanical stage comprising the levers 20 and 28 and the relative tie rods and therefore is suitable to lift the nacelle 49 to a limited height as compared with the maximum height which may be reached by the crane represented in FIGS. 1 to 3; further, the lifting machine according to the variant, shown in FIG. 4 is particularly suitable for the lifting of loads greater than those which may be lifted with the preceding machine.
Obviously, the nacelle 49 may be replaced by members intended to effect various works and services, as a bucket, a load lifting platform, a poly-shaped load gripper, while keeping unchanged the particular features of the kinematic system.
In the case where the machine is mounted on a self propelled carriage, as represented in the drawings, said carriage, in addition to being provided with stabilizer arms 10 also has height adjustable feet 10a. Further, if requested, hooks for the connection of tie rods intended to stabilize the lifted machine against wind may be provided at some suitable points of the framework.
In order to avoid any accidental lowering of the crane for any grade of lifting of the same, the use of suitable safety means may be provided. In the lowering phase particularly there may be provided a braking hydraulic device with a controllable delivery which is the subject of another patent in the name of the same applicant.
Obviously in the machine according to the invention further improvements and variants may be effected without departing from its scope, defined by the following claims.
