Crane and method for influencing a deformation of a jib system of said crane
A crane having at least one jib system, a sensor unit for detecting a deformation of the jib system transversely to a load plane, and to an activatable adjustment unit for influencing the deformation of the jib system transversely to the load plane.
1. A crane, said crane comprising:
a jib system;
a sensor unit operable to detect a deformation of the jib system transverse to a load plane; and
an activatable adjusting unit configured to influence the deformation of the jib system transverse to the load plane;
wherein a regulating unit and/or a monitoring unit is provided, with said regulating unit being in signal communication with the sensor unit and with the adjusting unit and configured to influence the deformation of the jib system in a regulated manner transverse to the load plane, and with said monitoring unit being in signal communication with the sensor unit and operable to monitor the deformation of the jib system transverse to the load plane, and wherein the jib has a first jib portion and a second jib portion, wherein the adjusting unit has at least one geometry actuator, which is connected to the first jib portion and to the second jib portion, for directly modifying the geometry of the jib.
2. The crane of claim 1 , wherein at least one joint element is provided which connects the first jib portion and the second jib portion to one another.
3. The crane as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the jib is designed as a lattice mast jib, and wherein at least portions of the geometry actuator are arranged in chord tubes of adjacent jib portions.
4. The crane as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the activatable adjusting unit is arranged on the jib system.
5. The crane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the jib is designed as a lattice mast jib, and wherein at least portions of the geometry actuator are arranged in chord tubes of adjacent jib portions.
6. The crane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the activatable adjusting unit is arranged on the jib system.
7. The crane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit has a first sensor element and a second sensor element corresponding thereto.
8. The crane as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a direct connecting line between the first sensor element and the second sensor element is oriented in parallel with the jib longitudinal axis when the jib is in a non-deformed state.
9. The crane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit detects external effects.
10. The crane as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the sensor unit comprises an inclination transducer, an accelerometer, a wind gauge, a strain gauge, a force meter and/or a thermometer.
11. The crane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a jib anchoring unit is provided which acts transversely to the load plane and/or along a jib longitudinal axis, wherein the adjusting unit has an anchoring actuator for adapting the anchoring force.
12. The crane as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the anchoring actuator is designed in particular as a cable winch, a cylinder element, a spindle drive, a force-variable or a length-variable anchoring support and/or as an articulation point of the anchoring arrangement which can be displaced longitudinally of the jib longitudinal axis.
