Construction machine and method for upward and downward movement of a lifting element

1. A construction machine with a mast and a lifting element, which can be moved up and down along the mast with a hoist rope, which can be activated by means of at least a first rope winch and a second rope winch,

wherein

the first rope winch is designed as a free fall winch, wherein the hoist rope can be lowered in free fall, and

a controller is provided, with which the first rope winch, which is designed as the free fall winch, can be switched into a free fall mode to lower the hoist rope while the second rope winch is operated with force-locking.

2. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the lifting element is arranged with a pulley block or an articulation unit to be movable on the hoist rope.

3. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the hoist rope is formed from at least two ropes coupled or connected to each other.

4. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the free fall winch has a free fall brake, with which the free fall winch can be opened for free-wheeling lowering of the hoist rope and the free falling hoist rope can be braked again by activating the free fall brake.

5. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

each of the first rope winch and the second rope winch has a winch drum and

a first end of the hoist rope is connected to a first winch drum of the first rope winch and a second end of the hoist rope is connected to a second winch drum of the second rope winch.

6. The construction machine according to claim 5 ,

wherein

after lowering the hoist rope from a starting position into an operating position, for the first rope winch a greater hoist rope length is wound out from the first winch drum than from the second winch drum, and

the first rope winch and the second rope winch can be operated asynchronously when the hoist rope is lifted again, wherein when the hoist rope is lifted again a greater hoist rope length is wound onto the first winch drum than onto the second winch drum.

7. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the hoist rope can be deflected on at least two deflection rollers which are arranged on the mast, and

the at least two deflection rollers are mounted on at least one force measuring axis.

8. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the construction machine has sensors, with which a position of the lifting element relative to a position of the construction machine can be determined.

9. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the construction machine has rotational speed sensors, with which the rotational speed of the first rope winch and the second rope winch can be determined.

10. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the first rope winch can be operated both as a free fall winch and also as a force-locking winch.

11. The construction machine according to claim 1 ,

which is designed as a diaphragm wall gripper to excavate earth material, wherein a hydraulic gripper is articulated on the lifting element.

12. A method for creating a diaphragm wall with the construction machine according to claim 11 .

13. A method for upward and downward movement of the lifting element in the construction machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hoist rope is operated with first rope winch and the second rope winch,

wherein

the first rope winch, which is designed as the free fall winch, is used, and

the first rope winch is switched into the free fall mode by the controller to lower the hoist rope while the second rope winch is operated with force-locking.

14. The method according to claim 13 ,

wherein

a free fall brake, which is arranged on the first rope winch, is deactivated for free fall lowering of the hoist rope and the lifting element, which is arranged to be movable on the hoist rope with a pulley block, wherein the first rope winch is released by the free fall brake for free fall lowering of the rope winch.

15. The method according to claim 13 ,

wherein

the first rope winch and the second rope winch are synchronized, when the hoist rope and the lifting element, which is arranged on the hoist rope, are lifted again after the free fall lowering of the hoist rope, into a starting position of the first rope winch and the second rope winch before lowering, and

the first rope winch and the second rope winch are operated independently of each other when the hoist rope is lowered and/or lifted again.
