    摘要: A container-handling vehicle includes a vehicle body and a lifting device for lifting a storage container from a grid. The lifting device includes a lifting band drive assembly connected to the vehicle body, a horizontal lifting frame for releasable connection to a storage container, and four lifting bands connecting the lifting band drive assembly to the lifting frame. The lifting band drive assembly includes a lifting shaft assembly having a lifting shaft and at least one motor for rotating the lifting shaft. The lifting shaft includes a first end section and a second end section. Two of the lifting bands are connected at each of the first and second end sections. The lifting shaft assembly includes at least one electrical insulating element arranged such that the lifting bands connected at the first end section is electrically insulated from the lifting bands connected at the second end section.

    摘要: An automatic method of power management for supplying power to a crane includes a main power source comprising a generating set having an optimum power range in which it delivers a main power and a rechargeable secondary power source configured to deliver a secondary power, has a charge level, and may be recharged by the main power source. The automatic method implements, depending on the power required for the operation of the crane and the charge level, one or more power management modes for which the crane receives power coming from the single main power source or from the two power sources, and such that the generating set operates for each of them in the optimum power range.

    摘要: A self-maintaining crane system including a bridge, a trolley, a hoist, and sensors for use within a hostile environment, such as a wastewater treatment facility, is presented. The bridge is movable along a pair of runway rails. The trolley is movable between the runway rails. The hoist with extendable-retractable cable is movable with the trolley. Bridge sensors determine whether the bridge has engaged home and end positions. Trolley sensors determine whether the trolley has engaged home and end positions. The bridge and the trolley are movable between home and end positions. Hoist sensors determine whether the cable has engaged a hoist home position and a hoist end position. The cable is extendable away from the home position and retractable toward the end position. Sensors facilitate automated movement of bridge, trolley, and cable so as to minimize functional impairment of the crane system by the hostile environment.

    摘要: A target trajectory signal is calculated by integrating a target speed signal inputted from a suspended-load moving operation tool and passing the integrated signal through a lowpass filter. Target position coordinates of a load are calculated from the target trajectory signal. The current position coordinates of a leading end of a boom are calculated from the attitude of a crane device. An unwinding amount of a wire rope is calculated from the current position coordinates of the load and the current position coordinates of the boom. A direction vector of the wire rope is calculated from the current position coordinates of the load and the target position coordinates of the load. Target position coordinates of the boom are calculated from the unwinding amount and the direction vector. An actuation signal of an actuator is generated from the target position coordinates of the boom.

    摘要: A plate assembly for mounting an electrical enclosure in a position vertically aligned atop an overhead rail used to support a traveling hoist which traverses back and forth along the rails on a trolley. The plate assembly includes a plate which is shaped like an inverted U by a central opening extending up from the bottom with mounting portions projecting normal to the plate which are configured to be attached to the enclosure when installed in the opening at the top and to respective rail pieces clamped against respective sides of the opening.

    摘要: A self-maintaining crane system including a bridge, a trolley, a hoist, and sensors for use within a hostile environment, such as a wastewater treatment facility, is presented. The bridge is movable along a pair of runway rails within the hostile environment. The trolley is movable between the runway rails. The hoist with extendable-retractable cable is movable with the trolley. Bridge sensors separately determine whether the bridge has engaged a bridge home position and a bridge end position. The bridge is movable away from the bridge home position and back toward the bridge end position. Trolley sensors separately determine whether the trolley has engaged a trolley home position and a trolley end position. The trolley is movable away from the trolley home position and back toward the trolley end position. Hoist sensors separately determine whether the cable has engaged a hoist home position and a hoist end position. The cable is extendable away from the hoist home position and retractable toward the hoist end position. Sensors facilitate automated movement of bridge, trolley, and cable so as to minimize functional impairment of the crane system by the hostile environment.
