Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for damping a torsional vibration about a vertical axis of a load-bearing element of a lifting device with a damping controller with at least one controller parameter, the load-bearing element being connected to at least three holding elements with a supporting element of the lifting device and the length of at least one holding element between the load-bearing element and the supporting element an actuator acting on the at least one holding element is adjusted by the damping controller.
  • Lifting devices in particular cranes, are available in many different designs and are used in many different areas of application.
  • Bridge cranes are used, for example, as hall cranes in factory halls and portal cranes, for example, for the manipulation of transport containers at transshipment locations for intermodal goods handling, such as in ports for the handling of ships by rail or truck or at freight stations for handling from the train to the truck or vice versa .
  • the goods for transport are mainly stored in standardized containers, so-called ISO containers, which are equally suitable for transport in the three transport modes road, rail, water.
  • the structure and mode of operation of a gantry crane is well known and is for example in the US 2007/0289931 A1 described using a "ship-to-shore crane".
  • the crane has a supporting structure or a portal on which a boom is arranged.
  • the portal with wheels for example, is movably arranged on a track and can be moved in one direction.
  • the boom is firmly connected to the portal and a trolley movable along the boom is arranged on the boom.
  • a cargo for example an ISO container
  • the trolley is connected to a load-bearing element, a so-called spreader, by means of four ropes.
  • the spreader can be raised or lowered using winches, here using two winches for two ropes each.
  • the spreader can also be adapted to containers of different sizes.
  • the US 2007/0289931 A1 mentions, among other things, the problem of oscillations around the vertical axis (skew), but does not propose a satisfactory solution.
  • a target object consisting of lighting elements is provided on the load-bearing element and a corresponding CCD camera is provided on the trolley.
  • This enables angular deviations around the vertical axis (skew), the longitudinal axis (list) and the transverse axis (trim) to be determined.
  • an actuator is provided for each tether with which the length of the tether can be changed.
  • the actuators are controlled in different ways, so that the individual tethers are shortened or lengthened and the corresponding error is compensated.
  • the disadvantage here is that the method only suggests compensation of angular errors without taking into account the dynamics of a torsional vibration. This means that no torsional vibrations can be compensated for.
  • the DE 102010054502 A1 proposes to compensate for torsional vibrations of the load-bearing element to arrange a slewing gear between the load-bearing element and the tether.
  • this is very complex and therefore expensive, and the payload is also reduced by the weight of the slewing gear.
  • the EP 2 878 566 A1 shows a method for torsional vibration damping of overhead cranes according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein a load is suspended from the crane by means of four ropes and the length of the ropes can be changed by means of adjusting devices.
  • the angle of rotation of the load or a time derivative thereof is measured by means of a detection device and setpoints for the adjusting devices are calculated using a mathematical model, taking into account the geometry of the crane suspension, in order to dampen the torsional vibration.
  • the input shaping method is a kind of pilot control with which it is possible to adjust the angle of rotation of the load-bearing element. It is not possible to dampen an existing torsional vibration. Another disadvantage is that the mathematical model used in the input shaping process has to be very precise, since there is no way to compensate for parameter deviations.
  • the object is achieved in that the load-bearing element is excited to a torsional vibration at a specific lifting height of the load-bearing element, wherein at least one actual angle of rotation of the load-bearing element about the vertical axis and an actual actuator position are recorded, and thus model parameters of the torsional vibration model of the load-bearing element at the given lifting height be identified using an identification method.
  • an identification method it is possible to dampen a torsional vibration of a load-bearing element at any lifting height without the damping regulator's control parameter or parameters having to be set manually. This significantly simplifies the operation of the lifting device or the rapid movement and precise positioning of a load, which saves time and thus increases productivity.
  • unknown model parameters of a selected torsional vibration model can be determined, as a result of which an unknown vibration behavior of the load-bearing element can be determined and used for damping the torsional vibration.
  • the at least one actuator is advantageously actuated hydraulically or electrically, as a result of which standard components such as hydraulic cylinders or electric motors can be used and an existing energy supply system can be used.
  • At least two actuators are provided, in particular one actuator per holding element.
  • redundancy of the torsional vibration damping can be realized on the one hand, whereby the reliability can be increased.
  • smaller actuators with lower inertia can be used, which means that the response time of the damping control can be reduced and the control quality can be increased.
  • the lifting height is advantageously measured by means of a camera system arranged on the carrying element or on the load-bearing element or by means of a lifting drive of the lifting device. This enables the lifting height to be recorded very precisely and in a simple manner.
  • the angle of rotation of the load-bearing element is preferably measured by means of a camera system arranged on the support element or on the load-bearing element. With this simple method, the angle of rotation of the load-bearing element can be determined very precisely.
  • a camera system is also relatively easy to retrofit on an existing lifting device.
  • the torsional vibration model is a second order differential equation with at least three model parameters, in particular with a dynamic parameter ⁇ , a damping parameter ⁇ and a section gain parameter i ⁇ .
  • the mathematical modeling of the torsional vibration system using a second order differential equation creates a simple but sufficiently accurate representation of the real torsional vibration.
  • the identification method is a mathematical method, in particular an online least-square method. With this common mathematical method, model parameters can be determined easily and with sufficient accuracy.
  • a state controller with preferably five controller parameters K I , K 1 , K 2 , K FF , K P is used as the damping controller. This creates a fast and stable damping controller with high control quality.
  • An integrated pre-control improves the guiding behavior and an integrator (controller parameter K I ) achieves steady-state accuracy or model uncertainties can be compensated for.
  • the damping controller is a target rotation angle given the load receiving member and the damping controller regulates these target rotation angle within a predetermined angular range, in particular in an angular range from -10 ° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ + 10 °. In this way, a desired rotation of the load-bearing element can be achieved, whereby loads such as containers can also be positioned on targets that are not exactly aligned, such as inclined trucks.
  • An anti-wind-up protection is advantageously integrated in the damping controller, whereby the damping controller is given actuator restrictions of the at least one actuator, in particular a maximum / minimum permissible actuator position s perm , a maximum / minimum permissible actuator speed v perm and a maximum / minimum permissible actuator acceleration a perm of the actuator.
  • This so-called anti-wind-up protection prevents impermissibly high manipulated variables of the at least one actuator, which could lead to destabilization of the damping controller.
  • Fig. 1 shows a lifting device 1 by way of example using a schematic container crane 2, which is used, for example, for loading and unloading ships in a port.
  • a container crane 2 usually has a supporting structure 3, which is arranged either fixedly or movably on the floor.
  • the supporting structure 3 can, for example, be arranged to be movable on rails in the Y direction, as schematically in FIG Fig. 1 is shown. Due to this degree of freedom in the Y direction, the container crane 2 can be used flexibly locally.
  • the supporting structure 3 has a cantilever 4 which is fixedly connected to the supporting structure 3.
  • a support element 5 is usually arranged on this boom 4 and can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the boom 4, that is to say in the X direction in the example shown, for example a support element 5 can be mounted in guides by means of rollers.
  • the carrying element 5 is usually connected to a load-bearing element 7 for holding a load 8 by means of holding elements 6.
  • the load 8 is usually a container 9, in most cases an ISO container with a length of 20, 40 or 45 feet and a width of 8 feet.
  • load-bearing elements 7 which are suitable for simultaneously holding two containers 9 next to one another (so-called dual spreaders).
  • the type and design of the load-bearing element 7 is, however, no longer relevant for the damping method according to the invention; any embodiments of the load-bearing element 7 can be used.
  • the holding elements 6 are usually designed as ropes, with four holding elements 6 being arranged on the carrying element 5 in most cases, but more or fewer holding elements 6 can also be provided, but at least three holding elements 6.
  • a load 8 such as one Container 9
  • the lifting height 1 H is usually adjusted by means of one or more winches 10a, 10b, as schematically in FIG Fig. 3 is shown.
  • the lifting device 1 or the container crane 2 can therefore be moved in the direction of three axes. Due to fast movements, uneven loading of the container 9 or wind influences, it can happen that on the holding elements 6 arranged load-bearing element 7 with the container 9 arranged thereon is excited to vibrate, as follows based on the 2a and 2b is shown.
  • Fig.2a shows schematically a support element 5, on which a load-bearing element 7 including load 8 is arranged by means of four holding elements 6.
  • the coordinate system shows the degrees of freedom of the load-bearing element 7.
  • the straight double arrows symbolize the possible directions of movement of the load-bearing element 7, the movement in the Y direction in the example shown being effected by a movement of the entire lifting device 1 and the movement in the X direction by movement of the support element 5 on the boom 4 (lifting device 1 and boom 4 in Fig. 1 a not shown) and the movement in the Z direction by changing the lifting height l H by means of the holding elements 6 and a lifting drive 10 (not shown).
  • the curved double arrows symbolize the possible rotations of the load-bearing element 7 about the respective axis.
  • Rotations about the X-axis or the Y-axis can be compensated for relatively easily by the user of the lifting device 1 or the container crane 2 and are not described in more detail here.
  • a twist around the Z axis (i.e. around the vertical axis) as in Fig. 2b is, as described in the beginning, very disruptive, since in particular a torsional vibration of the load-bearing element 7 about the Z-axis would make positioning of a load 8 at a certain location, such as, for example, on the loading surface of a truck or a railway wagon, more difficult or delayed.
  • a method is therefore provided with which such a torsional vibration of a load-bearing element 7 about the vertical axis can be damped simply and quickly, so that rapid movements of the load-bearing element 7 with a load 8 arranged thereon are made possible, which should contribute to an increase in the efficiency of goods manipulation.
  • a detailed description of the method is given below using the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 described.
  • the lifting device 1 can also be designed in any other way for the application of the method according to the invention, for example as an indoor crane, tower crane, mobile crane, etc. It is only important that the basic function of the lifting device 1 and that the lifting device 1 has the essential components for carrying out the damping method according to the invention, as described below.
  • Fig. 3 The essential components of a lifting device 1 are shown, here using the components of a container crane 2. The parts essential for the invention are shown. The structure and functioning of such cranes have already been described, are well known and therefore do not need to be explained in more detail.
  • a lifting drive 10 is provided for lifting and lowering the load-bearing element 7 in the Z direction, that is to say for adjusting the lifting height l H.
  • the lifting drive 10 is implemented by cable winches 10a and 10b, two retaining elements 6a, 6c and 6b, 6d being wound onto each cable winch 10a, 10b.
  • other forms of lifting drive are also conceivable.
  • At least one actuator 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d for changing the length of the holding element 6 is provided on at least one holding element 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d.
  • an actuator 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d is advantageously provided on each holding element 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d.
  • four holding elements 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, each with an actuator 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, are arranged on the lifting device 1.

  • the parameters ⁇ i determine the dynamics and the response behavior of the control loop and are linked to the system properties of the torsional vibration model to be identified (the index i ⁇ 0 stands for the number of parameters of the damping controller, in the example shown these are the parameters ⁇ 0 , ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 ).
  • the damping constant d 0 and the parameters ⁇ i are preferred pre-parameterized or specified, but can be adapted by the user if required.
