Abstract

A hoisting device can be small-sized and energy can be saved. A hoisting device 10 according to the present invention has a hoist 30 and a control unit 32 . The hoist 30 rotates a drum 12 having a wire 14 wound thereon by an oil pressure motor 42 rotatable in normal and reverse directions. To the oil pressure motor 42 , operating oil is supplied from an oil pressure pump 44 . The oil pressure pump 44 is a two-way discharge fixed capacity type, and rotated by a servomotor 46 . An acceleration/displacement transducer 34 in the control unit 32 finds a moving direction and a moving speed of a wire hanging point in the vertical direction from an output signal of an acceleration sensor 24 . The control unit 32 outputs a drive control signal of the servomotor 46 according to a paying-out speed or a rolling-up speed of the wire 14 offsetting the vertical motion of the wire hanging point caused by the heaving of a hull based on a speed instruction Vi of the paying-out or rolling-up speed of the wire, a detected signal of the acceleration sensor 24 and a detected signal of a wire speed sensor 26.

Claims (46)

1. A hoisting device with a vertical motion compensation function that is located on a ship, comprising:

a hydraulic motor rotating a drum having a wire wound thereon, which is rotatable in normal and reverse directions;

a hydraulic pump directly connected, and supplying operating oil to said hydraulic motor;

an electric motor rotationally driving said hydraulic pump;

a wire speed sensor detecting a speed of the wire;

a vertical motion sensor detecting a vertical motion of a hanging point of the wire payed out and hung from the drum, the vertical motion being caused by a vertical motion of the ship; and

a control unit paying out or rolling up the wire by controlling a discharge amount of said hydraulic pump based on a detected signal of the vertical motion sensor and a detected signal of the wire speed sensor to eliminate effects of the vertical motion of the hanging point operating on the wire,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a point from which the wire hangs.

2. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 1 ,

wherein said control unit controls the discharge amount of said hydraulic pump based on the detected signal of the vertical motion sensor and the detected signal of the wire speed sensor to maintain a given paying-out speed or a rolling up speed of the wire.

3. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a pully at a tip of a boom.

4. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vertical motion sensor is provided at a same position as the hanging point of the wire.

5. A hoisting device with a vertical motion compensation function that is located on a ship, comprising:

a hydraulic motor rotating a drum having a wire would thereon, which is rotatable in normal and reverse directions;

a two-way discharge fixed capacity type pump supplying operating oil to said hydraulic motor;

a servomotor rotationally driving said two-way discharge fixed capacity type pump, which is rotatable in normal and reverse directions;

a wire speed sensor detecting a speed of the wire;

a vertical motion sensor detecting a vertical motion of a hanging point of the wire payed out and hung from the drum, the vertical motion being caused by a vertical motion of the ship; and

a control unit paying out or rolling up the wire by controlling a discharge amount and a discharge direction of the operating oil of said two-way discharge fixed capacity type pump through said servomotor based on a detected signal of said vertical motion sensor and a detected signal of said wire speed sensor to eliminate effects of the vertical motion of the hanging point operating on the wire,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a point from which the wire hangs.

6. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 5 ,

wherein said control unit controls the discharge amount of said two-way discharge fixed capacity type pump based on the detected signal of said vertical motion sensor and the detected signal of said wire speed sensor to maintain a given paying-out speed or rolling-up speed of the wire.

7. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 5 ,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a pully at a tip of a boom.

8. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 5 ,

wherein the vertical motion sensor is provided at a same position as the hanging point of the wire.

9. A hoisting device with a vertical motion compensation function that is located on a ship, comprising:

a hydraulic motor rotating a drum having a wire wound thereon, which is rotatable in normal and reverse directions;

a two-way discharge variable capacity type pump supplying operating oil to said hydraulic motor;

an electric motor rotationally driving said two-way discharge variable capacity type pump;

a wire speed sensor detecting a speed of the wire;

a vertical motion sensor detecting a vertical motion of a hanging point of the wire payed out and hung from the drum, the vertical motion being caused by a vertical motion of the ship; and

a control unit paying out or rolling up by controlling a discharge amount and a discharge direction of the operating oil of said two-way discharge variable capacity type pump based on a detected signal of said vertical motion sensor and a detected signal of said wire speed sensor to eliminate effects of the vertical motion of the hanging point operating on the wire,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a point from which the wire hangs.

10. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 9 ,

wherein said control unit controls the discharge amount of said two-way discharge variable capacity type pump based on the detected signal of said vertical motion sensor and the detected signal of said wire speed sensor to maintain a given paying-out speed or a rolling-up speed of the wire.

11. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 10 ,

wherein said two-way discharge variable capacity type pump controls the discharge amount of the operating oil depending on an inclination direction and an inclination angle of a swash-plate.

12. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 9 ,

wherein said two-way discharge variable capacity type pump controls the discharge amount of the operating oil depending on an inclination direction and an inclination angle of a swash-plate.

13. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 9 ,

wherein the hanging point of the wire is a pully at a tip of a boom.

14. The hoisting device with the vertical motion compensation function according to claim 9 ,

wherein the vertical motion sensor is provided at a same position as the hanging point of the wire.
