Abstract

A drive of a sliding connecting member of a locking system of a telescopic system, having a telescopic cylinder ( 1 ) with an outer telescopic section ( 2, 3 ) and an inner telescopic section ( 6, 7 ), which are each provided with a locking hole ( 5 ) into which a locking bolt ( 11 ) can be entered and withdrawn in a releasable manner via the sliding connecting member ( 14 ), provided with a sliding path ( 12 ), and a grasper ( 10 ), wherein the locking bolt ( 11 ) is designed to be moveable by means of an engagement member ( 9 ) running in the sliding path ( 12 ) in such a way that the locking bolt ( 11 ) effects a linear movement and the jib sections ( 3, 6 ) can be connected to one another by insertion of the locking bolt ( 11 ) into the bolting hole ( 5 ) and the sliding connecting member ( 14 ) can be driven by an electric linear drive ( 4 ).

Claims (11)

1. Crane jib with a locking system of a telescopic system, comprising:

an outer telescopic section having a lower shell ( 2 ) and an upper shell ( 3 );

an inner telescopic section longitudinally displaced within the outer telescopic section, the inner telescopic section having an upper shell ( 6 ) and a lower shell ( 7 ); and

a telescopic cylinder ( 1 ) at least partially received within the inner telescopic section, and the upper shell ( 3 ) of the outer telescopic section and the upper shell ( 6 ) of the inner telescopic section are each provided with a bolting hole ( 5 ) into which a locking bolt ( 11 ) is entered and withdrawn in a releasable manner via an electric linear drive ( 4 ) driving a sliding connecting member ( 14 ), provided with a sliding path ( 12 ) in which an engagement member ( 9 ) is guided, the engagement member ( 9 ) is in operating connection with the locking bolt ( 11 ), via a grasper ( 10 ), wherein the locking bolt ( 11 ) is moveable by the grapser ( 10 ) in connection with the engagement member ( 9 ) running in the sliding path ( 12 ) in such a way that the locking bolt ( 11 ) effects a linear movement and the upper shell ( 3 ) of the outer telescopic section is connected to upper shell ( 6 ) of the inner telescopic section by insertion of the locking bolt ( 11 ) into the bolting hole ( 5 ).

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the electric linear drive ( 4 ) is connected to a control unit ( 20 ) via a cable ( 23 ) and can thereby be controlled.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the electric linear drive ( 4 ) is provided with integrated sensing system ( 4 a ) for location detection or with a separate position detection means ( 8 a ) for a connection of the sliding connecting member ( 14 ) to the linear drive.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the electric linear drive ( 4 ) is provided with a mechanical self-locking means.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the electric linear drive ( 4 ) is provided with a holding brake.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the holding brake is formed as a self-locking means and holds a respectively approached position without application of electric power.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the bolting arrangement of the telescopic sections ( 3 , 6 , 2 , 7 ) is provided with two bolting holes ( 5 ).

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein for the bolting of two telescopic sections ( 3 , 6 , 2 , 7 ) to one another, two bolting holes are provided in each case, wherein the lateral bolting holes ( 5 ) are disposed opposite one another and are bolted to one another by a respective dedicated locking bolt ( 11 ).
