Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cranes with a beam.
  • An offshore wind farm usually comprises a cluster of some hundreds wind turbines. The large number is necessary to be able efficiently to transfer the generated electricity from the farm to the shore. It has appeared that a rather intense maintenance of the offshore wind turbines is necessary. Otherwise one or more of the turbines are likely to get broke, which results in the wind farm no longer being able to yield a profitable return on investment. With present wind farms, it has become common practice to visit each turbine once, sometimes twice a month for inspection and preventive maintenance. From time to time periodic actions need to be taken, like changing the oil in the gear box of the electrical generator or replacing some critical moving parts. In the case of defects, repairs need to be carried out.
  • the service engineers For this visitation of the turbines, the service engineers, together with their tools and spare parts, are delivered to the turbines by small shuttle vessels.
  • the service engineers access the turbine via a latter onto an access platform mounted on the nacelle tower or on the monopile/tripod/jacket foundation.
  • one or more cranes/davits are mounted on this access platform.
  • Most of the lifts are of loads of less than 1 ton. However, from time to time, heavier loads occur.
  • the cranes/davits therefore need to be able to lift loads of more than e.g. 3 tons.
  • Such cranes/davits are much more costly than cranes/davits capable of lifting up to e.g. 1 ton, which will increase the costs of the entire project.
  • CN201151466 discloses a marine boat raft and landing lifting machine, which comprises a hoisting device, a guide wheel, a boom, a main wire rope, a lowering control wire rope, a lowering control switch, a boat raft and landing winch, a hydraulic assembly, a lifting machine chamber, an operation device, a revolving device and a derricking cylinder.
  • One aspect relates to a system for lifting loads of varying weight comprising:
  • the system comprises a slightly modified crane/davit, and a lifting unit.
  • the lifting unit is constructed to be attached to any crane in the need of performing a high-load lift with few modifications to a normal crane/davit, of course, supported that the crane structure can withstand the higher load.
  • the system allows for an easy coupling and uncoupling of the lifting unit.
  • the crane/davit comprises a beam, and a winch and wire assembly; and the lifting unit comprises a frame and a winch and wire assembly.
  • Either the crane and/or the lifting unit comprises an auxiliary winch and wire assembly for mounting the lifting unit to the crane beam.
  • the lifting unit can be moved into place, preferably beneath the crane beam, by attaching the auxiliary wire to the crane and rewinding the auxiliary wire until the correct position of the lifting unit is obtained.
  • the lifting unit can be moved into place, preferably beneath the crane beam, by attaching the auxiliary wire to the lifting unit and rewinding the auxiliary wire until the correct position of the lifting unit is obtained.
  • Davit cranes are perfect for permanent or portable power. These cranes consist of an angled beam which pivots over a vertical axis. They can have fixed or adjustable booms/beams, and are available in portable as well as stationary units. Davit cranes incorporate a hand operated or electric winch and wire assembly for load handling.
  • the crane and/or lifting unit winch and wire assembly is electronic.
  • the crane and/or lifting unit winch and wire assembly comprises a motor and/or gear unit.
  • the crane and/or lifting unit winch and wire assembly comprises a motor and/or a gear.
  • the crane comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the auxiliary wire.
  • the lifting unit comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the auxiliary wire.
  • fastening means for fastening a wire may be used, depending on the type of wire end (e.g. hook or eye) to be fastened/attached.
  • auxiliary wire hold the lifting unit and crane beam in position.
  • a part of the fastening means may be positioned on the lifting unit, while the rest is positioned on the crane, such as on the crane beam.
  • the crane and/or the lifting unit further comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the lifting unit frame to the crane beam.
  • the lifting unit may have to be pivoted into place.
  • At least one of the fastening means for releasable attachment of the lifting unit to a crane beam is adapted for pivotable attachment of one end of the lifting unit.
  • the lifting unit frame further comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the crane wire.
  • the crane further comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the lifting unit wire.
  • a second aspect relates to lifting unit comprising a frame, a winch and wire assembly, and an auxiliary winch and wire assembly for mounting the lifting unit to a crane beam.
  • the lifting unit further comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of the lifting unit to a crane beam.
  • At least one of the fastening means for releasable attachment of the lifting unit to a crane beam is adapted for pivotable attachment of one end of the lifting unit.
  • the lifting unit further comprises fastening means for releasable attachment of a crane wire.
  • Figure 1 shows a lifting unit
  • Figure 2 shows the crane onto which the lifting unit is to be connected.
  • the lifting unit 300 is shown with a winch and wire assembly mounted on a frame 304.
  • the winch and wire assembly comprises a winch 310 and a gear and motor unit 312 to unwind and rewind the lifting unit wire 302. It is an advantage to use the crane wire in the positioning of the lifting unit onto the crane beam.
  • the lifting unit 300 is therefore adapted for attachment to a crane wire by fastening means 314.
  • An auxiliary winch and wire assembly 306 for mounting the lifting unit to a crane beam is also mounted on the frame 304.
  • the lifting unit 300 is adapted for pivotable attachment of one end to a crane beam by fastening means 308A. After attachment of fastening means to the crane beam, fastening means 308B will be drawn into position by the auxiliary winch and wire assembly 306.
  • the crane 200 is shown with a crane beam 202. Only the crane wire 204 is shown of the crane winch and wire assembly. Since the auxiliary winch and wire assembly is positioned on the lifting unit, the lifting unit can be moved into place, preferably beneath the crane beam, by attaching the auxiliary wire to the crane and rewinding the auxiliary wire until the correct position of the lifting unit is obtained.
  • the auxiliary wire with a wire hook at its end can be attached to fastening means 208, here shown as an eyebolt.
  • Fastening means 206A is adapted to engage with fastening means 308A to provide pivotable attachment of one end of the lifting unit with the crane beam.
  • the crane wire 204 is attached to the fastening means 314 (lifting eye) on the lifting unit 300.
  • the crane wire 204 is partly rewound such that the lifting unit 300 in hanging with fastening means 308A in close proximity to fastening means 206A.
  • the lifting unit has been turned 180 degrees, and the auxiliary wire 307 has been attached to fastening means 208.
  • the crane wire 204 is rewound such that the fastening means 308A is pivotably engaged with fastening means 206A.
  • the auxiliary wire 307 is rewound such that the fastening means 308B is engaged with fastening means 206B, and the lifting unit 300 is in position under the crane beam 202.
  • FIGS 7-8 show a system for lifting loads of varying weight in accordance with various embodiments of the invention, where the lifting unit 300 is mounted on a beam 202 that can be luffered up and down.
