Abstract

Provided is a monitoring device for a winch drum of a crane, the device including: a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not an abrasion generation condition is satisfied for the winch drum; and a notification unit that performs notification based on satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition.

Claims (35)

1. A monitoring device for a winch drum of a crane, the device comprising:

a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not an abrasion generation condition where generation of abrasion is expected for the winch drum is satisfied; and

a notification unit that performs notification based on satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition.

2. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a transmission processing unit that transmits and outputs operation information of the crane to an outside.

3. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 2 ,

wherein the transmission processing unit outputs the operation information to the outside in a daily cycle.

4. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 1 ,

wherein the monitoring unit monitors a layer and row state of a wire rope wound around the winch drum.

5. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 4 ,

wherein the monitoring unit determines whether or not the wire rope is wound or unwound around the winch drum in a first layer, from the layer and row state.

6. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 1 ,

wherein the abrasion generation condition includes a condition that is satisfied when a first layer of a wire rope wound around the winch drum is used.

7. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 1 ,

wherein operation information of the crane during a period where the abrasion generation condition is satisfied is accumulated.

8. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 7 ,

wherein the operation information of the crane is divided into a plurality of sections, and information regarding the abrasion generation condition is accumulated for each section of the operation information.

9. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 8 ,

wherein the winch drum includes a winding portion around which a wire rope is wound, and drum flanges provided at both ends of the winding portion to extend in a radial direction,

the abrasion generation condition is a condition related to a flange adjacent movement amount that is an amount of movement by which the wire rope moves in a position adjacent to the drum flange, and

load information regarding a load acting on the wire rope is divided into a plurality of sections, and the flange adjacent movement amount is accumulated for each section of the load information.

10. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 1 ,

wherein the notification unit displays an indication of satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition, together with a layer and row display indicating a layer and a row where an unwound portion of a wire rope wound around the winch drum is located.

11. A monitoring device for a winch drum of a crane, the device comprising:

a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not an abrasion generation condition is satisfied for the winch drum; and

a notification unit that performs notification based on satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition,

wherein the winch drum includes a winding portion around which a wire rope is wound, and drum flanges provided at both ends of the winding portion to extend in a radial direction, and

the abrasion generation condition is a condition related to a flange adjacent movement amount that is an amount of movement by which the wire rope moves in a position adjacent to the drum flange.

12. The monitoring device for a winch drum according to claim 11 ,

wherein the wire rope is sequentially wound around the winding portion from one drum flange side to the other drum flange side, and winding is repeated such that the wire rope is layered, to form layers.

13. A monitoring device for a winch drum of a crane, the device comprising:

a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not an abrasion generation condition is satisfied for the winch drum; and

a notification unit that performs notification based on satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition,

wherein the notification unit displays an indication of satisfaction of the abrasion generation condition, together with a layer and row display indicating a layer and a row where an unwound portion of a wire rope wound around the winch drum is located, and

when the unwound portion of the wire rope is located in a first layer, the notification unit displays an indication of the unwound portion being located in the first layer, separately from the layer and row display.
