LOAD-LIFTING CRANE PROTECTION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B66C23/88 B66C13/18 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; materials handling facilities.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in load-lifting crane control and protection system. Proposed protection system of load-lifting crane contains digital calculator 1, external memory 2, actuator unit 3 and crane parameter pickups 12 - 14. Digital calculator contains boom reach calculating unit 5, unit 6 to calculate load on load-lifting member, torque metering unit 7, three comparators 8, 9 and 10 and OR gate 11. Outputs of crane parameters pickups are connected to first input of digital calculator, and external memory is connected to second input. Corresponding input of actuator unit are connected to first and second outputs. Invention provides safe and effective operation of crane at small reaches owing to disconnection at overloads the motion which might lead to rise of load. Moreover, requirements to accuracy of calculation of load on hook at operation in zone of large reaches are reduced.

EFFECT: simplified production and reduced cost of operation and maintenance of protection system.
