Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for clamping a boom system of a swiveling, tilting and telescopic Tool over a support element on one Bogie of a vehicle, such as an emergency vehicle the fire department or the like, with a measuring device in the clamping area for the current determination of the load of the boom system.
  • the boom system is clamped, in particular a ladder set in general on a so-called Bogie.
  • the erection should and tilting the boom system.
  • the attachment to the turret is not direct about a basic element of the ladder set, but there are for this purpose, floating support elements are provided on the turret, which form the bogie with the turret. Because of the U-shaped cross-sectional profile of the conductor elements of the Ladder set is a connection of the same to the support element only in the outer area of the outer conductor element, So the base element is possible to get inside not to obstruct the ladder set and so on further conductor elements within the U-shaped base element to be able to store.
  • the carrier element in the longitudinal direction of the boom system designed such that it is the same as a bending beam Strength comes close to the swivel bending area to be able to optimize, especially what the lowering of the Boom system below the horizontal concerns.
  • the Width of the support element is due to the width of the outrigger boom system, i.e. its ladder parts, by the total width of the construction so given to minimize on the bogie.
  • a measuring system is known in which the bending stress of the boom system in / on the Clamping point is measured.
  • the current distance measurement is carried out by the boom with knowledge of the error rate.
  • Boom systems in the form of turntable ladders now work by increasing the basket capacity (from 2 to 3 man baskets), the provision of launcher inserts etc. the loads no longer in the primarily vertical of the U-shaped profile of the ladder elements, but outside and, among other things, cause non-negligible Torsional moments.
  • the Raising angle of the aerial ladder system essentially the connecting elements of each Claim conductor elements with each other, d. H. the Ropes and / or the hydraulic cylinders up to storage in the clamping point.

So it is as Fixing a boom system a statically determined Storage with the possibility of measuring the individual Bearing forces are provided in this clamping.
  • the design according to the invention also provides for this ensured that the measuring devices with the clamping be moved and so all three attacking directly Can capture forces and moments in the clamping. In this way, those acting on the boom system external and internal forces and moments individually classified and evaluated. Because with a boom system of the mentioned embodiment, the carrier element of the Mount is erected and the base element and the support element connecting storage "rigid" between this is arranged, but moves with the clamping are no additional corrective measures due to changed kinematic conditions of the Erection system, for example the erection cylinder etc. required.

  • Controlled deformation of the axis strain gauges are strain gauges provided on the inside of the bolts.
  • Such Strain gauges (DMS) record depending on the version the bending stress also in two vertical directions the bolt axis, which then creates two forces as a measurement result.
  • the respective components of the Forces determined by measurement technology are due to the arrangement of the load measuring pin.
  • a device for processing the Measured values provided, as from the strain gauges measured moments and forces according to the equilibrium conditions to be taken into account and to be compared with permissible values Values must be determined. To when the limit is reached all initiated movements of the boom system being able to slow down or stop is preferred one that can be activated when the permissible measured value is exceeded Alarm unit provided, which is in training can be an acoustic alarm unit. Furthermore, at least one display device is for output of the measured values determined and thus for information of the provided by the respective operator.
  • the Single bearing a spherical bearing that is, a spherical bearing in the eye bed, on to relative movements, deformations and to record flight deviations so that the kinematic Tolerance remains intact.
  • every single bearing is kinematically compatible against angular errors and / or misalignments, because a single spatial shift at a storage location relative to the other corresponding rotations around the Triangle sides as well as displacements according to the Degrees of freedom in the individual bearings.
