- the superstructure drive comprises at least one pump distributor gearbox.
- the undercarriage engine is a powerful and large-sized internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, wherein the power of the undercarriage motor is preferably dimensioned such that required by the undercarriage engine power required for crane operation at low engine speed, especially in a speed range above Idling speed up to about twice the idle speed, can be provided.
- an auxiliary motor is provided on the superstructure or in the region of the superstructure, by means of which the superstructure drive can be driven.
- the present invention relates to a crane with the features of claim 10. Thereafter, it is provided that a crane is provided with at least one drive device according to one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the crane is preferably a mobile crane, in particular a large mobile crane.

- This diagram presented a simplified diagram of the speed dependent fuel consumption of a combustion engine.
- the large diesel engine 10 may be operated in size at a low idle speed nL.

- Next fuel savings from the low operating speed nB may be large in comparison to the higher - operating speed can be achieved nB small - explained previously.
- each bevel gear 13 is about 0.99 to 0.98. Thus, sufficient power is still available at the pump distributor 14 in the uppercarriage 3.
- Another positive aspect is the lower noise, since the diesel engine 10 is operated at a low speed. This aspect can also have an impact on fuel consumption. Since the diesel engine 10 is very large, it can be operated at low speed and generates accordingly little heat. Thus, the engine cooling fans 53 may be operated at low speed or even not at all.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Antriebsvorrichtung für einen Kran, wobei der Kran einen Unterwagen und einen Oberwagen aufweist, sowie einen Kran.The present invention relates to a drive device for a crane, the crane having an undercarriage and a superstructure, and a crane.
Große Krane weisen häufig einen großen Unterwagenmotor und einen kleinen Oberwagenmotor auf.Large cranes often have a large undercarriage engine and a small superstructure engine.
Es ist zu bemerken, dass der Kranbau seit Jahren Versuche zur Optimierung der Gewichtsverteilung durchführt und somit an der Steigerung der Tragfähigkeit der Krane arbeitet. Da die zulässigen Achslasten von maximal 12 Tonnen im öffentlichen Straßenverkehr vorgegeben sind, ist kein Leistungssprung mehr zu erwarten. Ein Kran mit zum Beispiel 5 Achsen kann maximal mit 60 Tonnen auf der Straße verfahren werden. Somit ist die Leistungsfähigkeit eines Krans mit 5 Achsen bei allen Kranherstellern ähnlich hoch.It should be noted that crane construction has been making attempts to optimize the weight distribution for years, thus working to increase the load capacity of the cranes. Since the permissible axle loads of a maximum of 12 tonnes are specified on public roads, no jump in performance is to be expected. A crane with, for example, 5 axles can travel a maximum of 60 tons on the road. Thus, the performance of a 5-axis crane is similar for all crane manufacturers.
Der Kranoberwagen ist um eine vertikale Drehachse um den Unterwagen drehbar gelagert. Um die Drehachse ist in der Regel eine Drehdurchführung angebracht, die eine Verbindung zwischen Oberwagen und Unterwagen darstellt. Diese Verbindung kann zum Beispiel hydraulischer oder elektrischer Art sein.The crane superstructure is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis of rotation about the undercarriage. To the axis of rotation is usually mounted a rotary union, which represents a connection between the uppercarriage and lowercarriage. This connection may be, for example, hydraulic or electrical type.
Ein Verbrennungsmotor hat bei seiner maximalen Drehzahl seine höchste Leistung und kann in diesem Bereich betrieben werden.An internal combustion engine has its highest power at its maximum speed and can be operated in this area.
Alternativ hätte auch ein größerer, und somit leistungsfähigerer Motor verwendet werden können. Dieser Motor könnte dann mit niedrigerer Drehzahl betrieben werden. Somit müsste der Motor im Kranbetrieb nicht im leistungsoptimierten Bereich betrieben werden, sondern könnte im verbrauchsoptimierten Bereich betrieben werden. Demgegenüber steht das Mehrgewicht.Alternatively, a larger, and thus more powerful engine could have been used. This motor could then be run at a lower speed. Thus, the engine would not have to be operated in crane operation in the power-optimized area, but could be operated in the consumption-optimized area. In contrast, there is the extra weight.
Dem ist ein höherer Kraftstoffverbrauch eines größeren Verbrennungsmotors gegenüberzustellen. Jeder Zylinder eines Motors hat Reibungsverluste, Panschverluste usw.This is a higher fuel consumption of a larger internal combustion engine to face. Each cylinder of an engine has friction losses, churning losses, etc.
Weiter sind Mobilkrane in Einmotorenausführung bekannt. Diese Krane weisen einen Motor im Unterwagen auf und versorgen den Oberwagen über eine sogenannte "hydraulische Welle" mit Energie. Es wird über die Drehdurchführung Hydrauliköl in den Oberwagen geführt, das dann direkt oder indirekt die jeweiligen Kranaktuatoren versorgt. Dies ist jedoch aufwändig.Furthermore, mobile cranes are known in Einmotorenausführung. These cranes have a motor in the undercarriage and provide the superstructure with energy via a so-called "hydraulic shaft". Hydraulic oil is fed into the superstructure via the rotary union, which then directly or indirectly supplies the respective crane actuators. However, this is expensive.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Antriebsvorrichtung für einen Kran der eingangs genannten Art in vorteilhafter Weise weiterzubilden.It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a drive device for a crane of the type mentioned in an advantageous manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Antriebsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass eine Antriebsvorrichtung für einen Kran, wobei der Kran einen Unterwagen und einen Oberwagen aufweist, mit wenigstens einem im Unterwagen angeordneten Unterwagenmotor, der ein Verbrennungsmotor ist, und mit wenigstens einem Oberwagenantrieb versehen ist, wobei der Oberwagenantrieb mittels eines vom Unterwagenmotor antreibbaren Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel antreibbar ist.This object is achieved by a drive device with the features of
Dadurch ergibt sich der große Vorteil, dass der im Unterwagen für den für den Fahrbetrieb des Kranes auf der Straße in seiner Leistung großdimensionierte Verbrennungsmotor auch für den Oberwagenantrieb genutzt werden kann. Somit kann der "kleinere" Motor, also der Oberwagenmotor für den Kranantrieb entfallen. Der daraus gewonnene Gewichtsvorteil kann in die Kranhebeleistung und/oder in die Stabilität verschiedener Baugruppen investiert werden.This results in the great advantage that the in the undercarriage for the driving of the crane on the road in its performance large dimensioned Internal combustion engine can also be used for the superstructure drive. Thus, the "smaller" engine, so the superstructure motor for the crane drive omitted. The resulting weight advantage can be invested in the crane lifting capacity and / or in the stability of various assemblies.
So kann durch das gezielte Weglassen einer regelmäßig verwendeten und schweren Komponente ein Leistungssprung im Kranbau erzielt werden, d. h. dass ein Kran mit deutlich verbesserten Leistungsdaten bereitgestellt werden kann. Das Weglassen des Oberwagenmotors mit seinen schweren Baugruppen wie Motor, Öl - und Kraftstofftank, usw. führt dazu, dass das Ziel einer Gewichtsreduktion bei gleichzeitiger Leistungssteigerung besonders vorteilhaft erreicht werden kann.Thus, by deliberately omitting a regularly used and heavy component a jump in performance in crane construction can be achieved, d. H. that a crane can be provided with significantly improved performance data. The omission of the superstructure engine with its heavy components such as engine, oil and fuel tank, etc., means that the goal of weight reduction while increasing performance can be achieved particularly advantageous.
Das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel ist ein mechanisches Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel und dient insbesondere zur mechanischen Übertragung von Kräften, Drehmoment und Leistung vom Unterwagenmotor zu den im Oberwagen angeordneten Kranaktuatoren, die mittels des Oberwagenantriebs angetrieben werden bzw. antreibbar sind.The torque and / or power transmission means is a mechanical torque and / or power transmission means and is used in particular for the mechanical transmission of forces, torque and power from the undercarriage engine to the arranged in the uppercar Crane actuators, which are driven by the superstructure drive or are driven.
Ferner ergibt sich als Vorteil, dass es nunmehr ausreichend ist, nur noch einen Motor, nämlich den Unterwagenmotor insbesondere hinsichtlich Abgas, Lärm, usw. zu zertifizieren. Außerdem ist von Vorteil, dass lediglich die Wartung für einen Motor, nämlich den Unterwagenmotor vorzunehmen ist, so dass der Wartungsaufwand reduziert ist. Die Verfügbarkeit wird vorteilhafterweise gesteigert, da weniger Komponenten vorhanden sind, die ausfallen können.It also results in the advantage that it is now sufficient to certify only one engine, namely the undercarriage engine, in particular with regard to exhaust gas, noise, etc. In addition, it is advantageous that only the maintenance of a motor, namely the undercarriage engine is to be made, so that the maintenance is reduced. Availability is advantageously increased because there are fewer components that can fail.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel wenigstens eine Gelenkwelle, insbesondere eine Königswelle, ist und/oder umfasst.Furthermore, it can be provided that the torque and / or power transmission means is at least one propeller shaft, in particular a king shaft, and / or comprises.
Außerdem ist möglich, dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel wenigstens ein Winkelgetriebe ist und/oder umfasst.It is also possible that the torque and / or power transmission means is at least one angular gear and / or comprises.
Darüber hinaus ist denkbar, dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel wenigstens eine Kupplung aufweist, mittels derer der Oberwagenantrieb auskuppelbar und einkuppelbar ist, wobei die Kupplung vorzugsweise im Unterwagen bzw. im Bereich des Unterwagens angeordnet ist.In addition, it is conceivable that the torque and / or power transmission means has at least one coupling by means of which the superstructure drive is disengageable and engageable, wherein the clutch is preferably arranged in the undercarriage or in the region of the undercarriage.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel direkt von einem Nebenabtrieb des Unterwagenmotor antreibbar ist und/oder dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel von einem Nebenabtrieb eines Schalt- bzw. Automatikgetriebes antreibbar ist und/oder dass das Drehmoment- und/oder Kraftübertragungsmittel von einem Nebenabtrieb eines Verteilergetriebes antreibbar ist.Furthermore, it can be provided that the torque and / or power transmission means can be driven directly by a power take-off of the undercarriage engine and / or that the torque and / or power transmission means can be driven by a power take-off of a manual or automatic transmission and / or that the torque - And / or power transmission means is driven by a power take-off of a transfer case.
Denkbar ist ferner, dass der Oberwagenantrieb wenigstens ein Pumpenverteilergetriebe umfasst.It is also conceivable that the superstructure drive comprises at least one pump distributor gearbox.
Es ist möglich, dass die Drehmoment-, Kraft und Leistungsübertragung vom Unterwagenmotor zum Oberwagenantrieb ausschließlich mechanisch erfolgt.It is possible that the torque, power and power transmission from the undercarriage motor to the superstructure drive takes place exclusively mechanically.
Darüber hinaus kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Unterwagenmotor ein leistungsstarker und großdimensionierter Verbrennungsmotor, insbesondere ein Dieselmotor ist, wobei die Leistung des Unterwagenmotors vorzugsweise derart bemessen ist, dass durch den Unterwagenmotor die für den Kranbetrieb erforderliche Leistung bei niedriger Motordrehzahl, insbesondere in einem Drehzahlbereich oberhalb der Lehrlaufdrehzahl bis ca. der doppelten Lehrlaufdrehzahl, bereitstellbar ist.In addition, it can be provided that the undercarriage engine is a powerful and large-sized internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, wherein the power of the undercarriage motor is preferably dimensioned such that required by the undercarriage engine power required for crane operation at low engine speed, especially in a speed range above Idling speed up to about twice the idle speed, can be provided.
Es ist möglich, dass am Oberwagen bzw. im Bereich des Oberwagens ein Hilfsmotor vorgesehen ist, mittels dessen der Oberwagenantrieb antreibbar ist.It is possible that an auxiliary motor is provided on the superstructure or in the region of the superstructure, by means of which the superstructure drive can be driven.
Des Weiteren betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung einen Kran mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 10. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass ein Kran mit wenigstens einer Antriebsvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9 versehen ist, wobei der Kran vorzugsweise ein Mobilkran, insbesondere ein großer Mobilkran ist.Furthermore, the present invention relates to a crane with the features of
Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung sollen nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden.Further details of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt der Antrieb zum Oberwagen 3 des Kranes 1 über Gelenkwellen 16 bis zur Drehkranzmitte, der Drehachse 4. Hier wird ein Winkelgetriebe 13, das bevorzugt mit 90°-Winkel ausgeführt ist, im Fahrzeugrahmen mittig eingesetzt und der Antrieb zum Oberwagen 3 weitergeleitet. Im Oberwagen 3 wird ein weiteres Winkelgetriebe 13 mit Leistungsfortführung zu einem Pumpenverteilergetriebe 14 realisiert. Falls notwendig kann auch mittels eines weiteren nicht gezeigten Winkelgetriebes 13 eine geeignete Position des Pumpenverteilergetriebes 14 erreicht werden. Es ist nämlich zu beachten, dass im Oberwagen 3 der Ausleger 7 und der Wippzylinder 8 den Bereich der Drehmitte und um die Längsachse einnimmt. So kann ein weiteres Winkelgetriebe 13 notwendig werden, um aus diesem Bereich heraus zu kommen.According to the invention, the drive to the
Der Oberwagenantrieb kann auf verschiedene Arten und Stellen vom vorhandenen und bekannten Antriebsstrang abgezweigt werden, nämlich
- direkt
von einem Nebenantrieb 10a diesesDieselmotors 10, wobei das Getriebe umgangen wird; - von einem Nebenantrieb am Schalt- bzw.
Automatikgetriebe 11; oder - an einem Nebenantrieb
von einem Verteilergetriebe 12, wobei am besten die Welle einfachdurch das Verteilergetriebe 12 direkt durchgeführt wird.
- directly from a power take-
off 10a of thisdiesel engine 10, with the transmission being bypassed; - from a power take-off on the manual or
automatic transmission 11; or - on a power take-off from a
transfer case 12, and it is best to carry out the shaft directly through thetransfer case 12 directly.
Da ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung die Kraftstoffeinsparung darstellt, ist es sehr vorteilhaft, dass der Oberwagenantrieb unabhängig davon, an welchem Platz er sich befindet, zum Beispiel über eine Kupplung 18 abschaltbar ist. Weiter ist im Unterwagen eine Kupplung 50 vorgesehen, die den Unterwagenantrieb aktiv und nahe am Abzweig für den Oberwagenantrieb abkoppelt und somit die Reibungsverluste senkt.Since a further object of the invention is the fuel economy, it is very advantageous that the superstructure drive, regardless of where it is located, for example, via a clutch 18 is switched off. Further, a clutch 50 is provided in the undercarriage, which actively decouples the undercarriage drive and close to the branch for the superstructure drive and thus reduces the friction losses.
Die Übersetzung des Oberwagenantriebs kann frei nach Bedarf gewählt werden. Bei der Anordnung am Verteilergetriebe 12 kann die Übersetzung gangabhängig nach Bedarf bestimmt werden. Vorzugsweise wird aber eine optimale Übersetzung zum Dieselmotor 10 festgelegt. Diese Übersetzung kann entweder gleich der Motordrehzahl, oder erhöht ins Schnelle sein. Das Gleiche gilt für die Winkelgetriebe 13, die entweder eine Übersetzung von 1:1 oder eine Übersetzung ins Schnelle haben können.The translation of the superstructure drive can be freely selected as needed. When arranged on the
Nachvollziehbarerweise wird für den Oberwagenantrieb ein Drehmoment und eine Leistung übertragen. Dieses Drehmoment bewirkt ein störendes Drehmoment auf den Oberwagen 3. Liegt dieses Moment über den Reibungsverlusten der Rollendrehverbindung 9, dann sind weitere Maßnahmen vorzusehen. So kann das notwendige Stützmoment über die Steuerung errechnet werden und dann von dem Drehwerk geeignet aufgefangen werden.Understandably, torque and power are transmitted to the superstructure drive. This torque causes a
Der großdimensionierte Unterwagenmotor 10 hat ausreichend Leistung für den Kranbetrieb. Er ist von der Leistung her für den Fahrbetrieb ausgelegt. Bisher war der Oberwagenmotor von der maximalen Leistung eher kleiner zu wählen, da hierdurch Gewicht und Kosten eingespart wurden. Diese Ersparnis war aber mit dem Nachteil des Betriebes im höheren Drehzahlbereich, welcher einen höheren Spritverbrauch bewirkte, verbunden. Der Unterwagenmotor 10 kann im Oberwagenbetrieb also vorzugsweise in einem verbrauchsoptimierten Bereich mit reduzierter Drehzahl betrieben werden.The large-
Für den Kranbetrieb ist es wichtig, den Dieselmotor 10 im optimalen Kraftstoffverbrauchskennfeld zu betreiben. Bei einem Leistungsvergleich der benötigten Leistung zu der bereitgestellten Leistung wird die Motordrehzahl entsprechend zugeordnet, damit der Motor im optimalen Kraftstoffverbrauchskennfeld betrieben wird.For crane operation, it is important to operate the
Ein weiteres Problem bei Verwendung von nur einem Dieselmotor 10 ist die Abgasführung. Der Unterwagen 2 ist stationär und der Oberwagen 3 dreht sich um die Drehachse 4. Je nach Hebeaufgabe kann der Oberwagen 3 und somit die Krankabine 5 eine Stellung im 360° Kreis einnehmen. Damit ― auch bei einer ungünstigen Position des Oberwagens 3 und ungünstigen Windbedingungen die Abgase nicht sofort in die Krankabine 5 gelangen, wird die Abgasführung geeignet ausgelegt. Dies kann dadurch gelöst werden, dass die Abgase aus dem Schalldämpfer 80 soweit wie möglich nach vorne zum Fahrerhaus 6 verlegt werden, und zusätzlich nach oben bzw. zur Seite der Abgasaustritt 81 realisiert wird.Another problem with using only one
Weiter ist zu erwähnen, dass die bisher oft verwendete hydraulische Drehdurchführung entfallen kann. Die Energie wird mechanisch bzw. im Wesentlichen ausschließlich mechanisch übertragen. Es ist nur noch ein kleiner Schleifring 20 zur Übertragung der elektrischen Signale und Energie notwendig.It should also be mentioned that the hitherto often used hydraulic rotary feedthrough can be omitted. The energy becomes mechanical or essentially exclusive mechanically transmitted. It is only a
Um weiter Kraftstoff einzusparen, ist es vorteilhaft, die Pumpen 17 für die Nebenverbraucher im Unterwagen auch über eine Kupplung 19 gezielt abkoppelbar zu gestalten. Diese Kupplung muss aber auch gezielt schaltbar sein, um zum Beispiel einen Fahrbetrieb aus dem Oberwagen 3 heraus (z. B. Hundegang) zu ermöglichen. Gemäß dem Stand der Technik waren die Pumpen 17 nicht schaltbar.To further save fuel, it is advantageous to make the
Ein weiterer Aspekt zur Kraftstoffeinsparung kann aus der
Der Wirkungsgrad jedes Winkelgetriebes 13 liegt bei ca. 0,99 bis 0,98. So steht am Pumpenverteilergetriebe 14 im Oberwagen 3 immer noch ausreichend Leistung zur Verfügung.The efficiency of each
Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist die geringere Geräuschentwicklung, da der Dieselmotor 10 bei einer niedrigen Drehzahl betrieben wird. Auch kann dieser Aspekt Auswirkungen auf den Kraftstoffverbrauch haben. Da der Dieselmotor 10 sehr groß dimensioniert ist, kann er mit niedriger Drehzahl betrieben werden und erzeugt dementsprechend wenig Wärme. Somit können die Lüfter 53 für die Motorkühlung mit geringer Drehzahl oder sogar überhaupt nicht betrieben werden.Another positive aspect is the lower noise, since the
Beobachtet man nun den typischen Kranbetrieb, dann stellt man fest, dass der Dieselmotor 10 in der Regel mehr als 50% seiner Zeit ― auch bisher ― im Leerlauf betrieben wurde. Begründet liegt dies zum Beispiel darin, dass der Dieselmotor 10 für die Klimaanlage der Krankabine 5 benötigt wurde. Also konnte der Kranfahrer den Dieselmotor 10 nicht ausschalten.Observing now the typical crane operation, then it is found that the
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung kann am Oberwagen 3 ein Hilfsmotor 31 vorgesehen sein. Der Hilfsmotor 31 kann in variabler Größe ausgeführt sein. Dieser Hilfsmotor 31 kann einen Anlasser 33 und einen Generator 32 aufweisen. Der Generator 32 könnte dann während der Standby-Zeit die Versorgung der elektrischen Verbraucher, wie der Beleuchtung, übernehmen. In der Nacht, falls der Kran mit einer Auslegerhöhe von größer als 100 m aufgerüstet stehen bleibt, kann dieser Hilfsmotor 31 auch die Flugwarnleuchte betreiben. Über eine trennbare Kupplung 30 könnte auch die Klimaanlage 52 oder eine Vorwärmung von ausgewählten Komponenten könnte so vom Hilfsmotor 31 betrieben werden. Auch könnte bei Ausfall des Dieselmotors 10 ein Notbetrieb über eine Gelenkwelle 16 zum Pumpenverteilergetriebe 14 erfolgen.
