Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a column provided with a jib base end pivotally attached to a boom tip and provided at the boom tip or / and jib base end. The present invention relates to a crane with a jib, which can be raised and lowered by a winch through a crane.

(Prior Art) FIGS. 6 and 7 show a conventional crane with a jib of this type. In this conventional crane with a jib, a jib 103 mounted on a boom tip portion 102b includes:
The jib 103 is supported by a jib support device 104 provided continuously on the back side of the jib 103 and on the back side of the boom 102, and the winch 144 of the jib support device 104 is raised and lowered to operate the jib 103. At the boom tip 102b in a vertical plane. In this type of jib crane, the jib 10
When the length of the jib 103 is increased, the tension member (wire rope) 14 for supporting the jib can be increased by increasing the length of the jib 103.
Since it is necessary to increase the angle θ between 6 and the axis of the jib 103, the jib support device 104 pivots the base end of the support 140 having an appropriate length to the boom tip 102b, and the jib tip 103b
And a column tip 140b are connected by a tension member 146, and a tip of a rope 145 from a winch 144 installed on the swivel 111 of the bogie is connected to the column tip 140b. In this jib crane, the jib 103 is supported by winding the winch 144 for raising and lowering the jib.
It can be raised upward through 140 and also winch 144
, The jib 103 can fall down by its own weight. In addition, support 140
Is connected to the front end of the rear support 141 and the front support 142 by a suitable angle (for example, about 60 °).
They are connected to each other at 143 to form a substantially triangular shape.

By the way, in a crane with a jib in which the jib 103 is raised and lowered via the support 140 as described above,
140 and rope 145 etc. have considerable heavy weight,
As shown in FIG. 6, in the maximum upright posture of the boom 102, the jib 103 and the jib support device 104 (the winch 14) are raised when the hook 161 raises the jib 103 largely in an empty state.
4) except the center of gravity (rotational moment) of the total weight moves from the front side of the boom 102 to the rear side. And
If the jib 103 does not have a safety device for restricting rearward fall, the center of gravity moves from the base end pivot position P of the jib 103 to the back side of the boom (for example, in FIG. When the jib and the jib supporting device are combined, the combined rotational moment of the jib and the jib support device is increased.
The jib 103 and the column 140
Will fall to the back of the boom due to their rotational moment.

In this conventional crane with a jib, when the jib 103 is raised up until the combined rotational moment of the jib 103 and the jib support device 104 acts on the jib raising side as described above, the strut 140, the jib 103, and the like become large. A stopper device 108 for preventing the vehicle from falling backward is provided. This stopper device 108 has an abutment member 181 provided on the upper surface near the base end of the jib and a receiving member 182 provided on the front surface of the boom distal end 3b, and the jib 103 exceeds its allowable elevation limit angle. When standing up, the abutment member 181 on the jib side is moved to the receiving member 182 on the boom side.
In order to prevent the jib 103 from falling further backward.

Also, in a conventional crane with a jib, the jib 103 and the jib support device 104 reach a rotational moment at which the jib 103 and the jib support device 104 fall to the rear side of the boom 102 in the maximum upright posture of the boom 102 and with the hook empty. For example, in some cases, when the jib 103 is at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 6 (reference numeral 103)), a safety device is provided to prohibit the jib 103 from being raised further. In other words, this safety device is such that the jib 103 has its pivot 1
When the jib is raised up to a predetermined angle with respect to the boom 102 around the center 29 (for example, as shown in a solid line in FIG. Sometimes), the jib hoisting winch 144 based on a signal from an angle detector for detecting the jib raising angle.
To prevent the driving in the hoisting direction, and the jib 103 is prevented from being raised up to the boom 102 any more.

Also, in this type of crane with a jib, if the above-mentioned safety device for regulating the jib raising angle is removed, the jib 103 is moved to the boom 1 position.
02 can be raised rearward beyond the allowable raising limit angle, and the load hung on the hook 161 can be brought closer to the boom base end by that much.

Furthermore, in this type of crane with a jib, when assembling or disassembling the jib support device 104, the support 140 having a large weight stands up from the storage position along the boom upper surface to the assemblable position, or It is necessary to fall from the standing state to the storage position, but conventionally,
While supporting the support 140 with another crane, it was standing up or down.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when the safety device for regulating the jib raising angle is provided as described above, the raising angle of the jib 103 with respect to the boom 102 is set in a range set in advance by the safety device. The jib 103 can be raised up to the maximum elevation angle, and even if the jib 103 is raised up to the maximum elevation angle, the trouble of the jib falling down to the rear side can be resolved, but the working range of the crane (particularly the direction approaching the boom base end side) Work range) is unnecessarily limited. That is, when the tension generated in the jib support device 104 is increased, for example, by attaching a weight to the jib tip, the allowable elevation angle of the jib 103 can be increased. Even when the elevation limit angle is increased, the working range of the crane does not increase when the safety device is provided.

Also, in the conventional crane with a jib, if the above-mentioned safety device is removed, the jib 103 can stand up beyond the allowable elevation limit angle in the hook empty state,
If the jib stands up beyond the allowable elevation limit angle with respect to the boom 102 (for example, when the winch 144 is wound up too much), the jib 103 and the jib support device 104 fall down to the rear side, There is a risk that the jib will hit the boom.
In addition, when the jib 103 falls backward beyond the allowable raising limit angle in this way, simply by lowering the winch 144 for raising the jib can lower the jib 103 forward. And, in this case, boom 102
Must be operated to lower the winch 144 for raising the jib in a state where the combined rotational moment of the jib and the jib support device is generated in the jib-downward direction (right-rotation direction). There was a problem that those operations were troublesome.

Furthermore, in this type of conventional crane with a jib, when assembling or disassembling the jib support device 104, another crane is required to support the heavy-weight strut 140,
Another problem is that another crane must be delivered to the work site to perform the assembly or disassembly work of the jib support device 104.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the conventional crane with a jib, and has been made capable of expanding the working range of the crane (especially, the working range in a direction approaching the base end of the boom). Even if it can be enlarged, the jib can be prevented from rising beyond the allowable elevation angle with respect to the boom, and the jib support device can be easily assembled or dismantled. Crane with a jib that can automatically perform the function of expanding the working range of the crane and the function of preventing the jib from rising beyond the allowable elevation limit angle with respect to the boom. The purpose is to propose.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the invention of claim 1 of the present application, a jib mounted to be able to undulate at a distal end of a boom is pivotally attached at a base end to a boom distal end or a jib base end. Or, on the back side of the boom, a post mounted so as to be swingable in the jib undulation surface, a tension member connecting the tip of the post to a proper position of the jib, and a winch provided on the boom base end side. Supported by a jib support device having a rope extending from the winch and directly or indirectly connected to the tip of the support, and raising and lowering the winch to raise and lower the jib with respect to the boom. In a crane with a jib configured to be able to squeeze, a strut urging device capable of urging the strut in a jib falling direction at an arbitrary swinging position of the strut is provided at the end of the boom. .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the crane with a jib according to the first aspect, further comprising a tension detector for detecting a tension of the rope of the jib support device, and the column urging device is operated by a signal from the tension detector. The feature is that it is made to be.

(Operation) In the crane with a jib according to the first aspect of the present invention, a strut urging device for urging the strut of the jib support device in the jib falling direction is provided at the end of the boom. When the jib is erected beyond the permissible rising limit angle in the empty state with the jib upright, the strut is urged by the strut urging device in the falling direction of the jib to remove the load from the hanging load hook. (At this time, the rotational moment in the jib raising direction by the jib support device itself becomes larger than the rotational moment in which the jib itself tries to rotate in the jib falling direction, and the combined rotational moment of the jib and the jib support device becomes (Generated in the raising direction), the combined rotational moment of the jib and the jib support device can be generated on the jib-downside. Therefore, even when the jib is raised up beyond the allowable raising limit angle in the empty state, the crane operation can be performed without any trouble. In addition, even when the jib is standing up beyond the allowable elevation limit angle in the empty state, the jib support device urges the column to the jib downside while lowering the jib up / down winch. , The jib can fall down. Also, when assembling or disassembling the jib support device, it is necessary to erect a column having a large weight or to work slowly while supporting the column, etc. It can be performed by operating the column biasing device.

Further, in the crane with a jib according to the invention of claim 2 of the present application, the rope tension of the jib support device in claim 1 is detected by a tension detector, and the strut biasing device is operated by a signal from the tension detector. The strut biasing device can be automatically activated. That is, for example, when the tension on the jib support device side decreases to a certain value, this is detected by a tension detector, and the jib support device is operated to the column biasing side based on a signal from the tension detector. On the other hand, when the tension detector detects a predetermined high tension value, the column urging device is actuated to the urging release side based on a signal from the tension detector. It is good to make it.

(Effects of the Invention) Effects of the Invention of Claim 1 According to the crane with a jib of the invention of claim 1, the following effects are obtained.

By operating the column biasing device, even when the jib is raised up to a position beyond the jib allowable rising limit angle in the empty state, it is possible to perform crane work without trouble, and crane work The range (the crane working range near the boom) can be expanded.

Also, when performing crane work while the jib is standing up beyond the jib allowable raising limit angle in the empty state, the support column urging device should be used to remove the load from the hanging load hook. By biasing the jib or jib support device to the falling side, the jib or the jib supporting device will not fall down to the rear side even if the load is removed from the hanging load hook, ensuring safety and lowering the jib from that state. However, the jib can be lowered by operating the jib hoisting winch while urging the column with the column urging device, so that the jib can be easily lowered (no need to operate the boom in the downward direction).

In addition, since the column having a large weight can be supported by the column urging device when the jib support device is assembled or disassembled, for example, a crane for supporting the column is not required.

Advantageous Effect of the Invention of Claim 2 In the crane with a jib of the invention of claim 2 of the present application, in addition to the effect of claim 1, a tension detector detects the tension on the jib support device side and based on the detection signal, In this case, the strut urging device is operated, so that the strut urging device can be automatically operated, and there is an effect that danger due to forgetting operation or incorrect operation of the strut urging device can be prevented beforehand.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show a crane with a jib according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The crane with a jib includes a bogie 1, a swivel base 11 mounted on the bogie 1 so as to be horizontally rotatable, and a boom 2 mounted on the swivel base 11 so as to be able to undulate in a vertical plane. A jib 3 attached to the end 2b of the boom 2 so that the jib 3 can be raised and lowered;
In FIG. 2B, a jib support device 4 supporting at an arbitrary undulation angle is a basic configuration.

The trolley 1 is provided with an outrigger device 12, and the trolley 1 is supported and fixed by the outrigger device 12 during crane operation.

In this embodiment, the boom 2 is a multi-stage telescopic type (5-stage telescopic type). At the tip of the tip boom, a part 22 having a predetermined length (for example, about 4 to 5 m) is attached. In this embodiment, the tip of the support 22 is the boom tip 2b.

The boom 2 includes an undulating cylinder (hydraulic cylinder) 21
Thus, the undulating operation is performed within the range between the substantially horizontal posture and the substantially vertical posture. As shown in FIG. 5, the raising / lowering cylinder 21 can be extended or contracted by switching the valve 63 with the operation lever 64.
That is, when the operating lever 64 is pulled in the state shown in FIG. 5, the valve 63 is operated in the direction of arrow A, and the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump 7 passes through the hydraulic pipe 66 and the extension operation side port of the undulating cylinder 21. When the operation lever 64 is pushed from the neutral state, the valve 63 is actuated in the direction of arrow B, and the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump 7 passes through the hydraulic line 67 to reduce the cylinder 21 for raising and lowering. The power is supplied to the side port 21b. When the up-and-down cylinder 21 is extended, the boom 2 operates in the raising direction, and conversely, when the up-and-down cylinder 21 contracts, the boom 2 operates in the up-down direction.

Jib 3 is composed of a plurality of divided jib (eight in the illustrated example).
31,31 ... are sequentially connected in a line. The jib 3 has a considerable length as a whole length of about 40 to 50 m, and has a considerably large weight. This jib 3
The boom 2 is mounted so that its base end 3a is pivotally supported by a shaft 29 on the distal end portion (the distal end portion of the support 22) 2b of the boom 2 so that the boom 2 can freely rise and fall within the up and down surface of the boom 2.

The jib support device 4 includes a column 40 formed by pivotally connecting a base end portion 40a to a boom tip end portion 2b on the rear side of the jib 3 or the boom 2.
And a tension member (wire rope) 46 connecting the distal end 4b of the column 40 and the distal end 3b of the jib 3, a winch 44 mounted on a swivel base, and extending from the winch 44. And a rope 45 for pulling the column.

The support column 40 is configured by connecting respective distal ends of a rear support column 41 and a front support column 42 each having an appropriate length with a connection rod 43. Then, the support column 40 pivots the base ends 40a, 40a of the rear support column 41 and the front support column 42 on the side surfaces of the boom tip end portion 2b with shafts 27, 28, respectively. 2 is mounted on the back side of the jib so as to be swingable within the jib undulation surface. Rear strut 41 and front strut 42
In order to increase the angle between the tension member 46 and the jib 3, each has a considerable length (for example, about 8 m each).
Degree). Also, during crane work,
In order for the buckling pressure to be large, the front and rear struts 41 and 42 need to have sufficient strength to withstand the buckling pressure. It becomes heavy. In this embodiment, the base end portions (the rear end base portion and the front end base portion) 40a, 40a of the column 40 are pivotally attached to the boom tip end 2b, respectively. The two base ends 40a, 40a of the strut 40 are pivotally connected to the base end 3a of the jib 3, or the base ends 40a, 40a are respectively connected to the boom tip 2b and the jib base 3a. It can also be pivoted. Further, the support 40 may be constituted by only one support.

The tension member 46 is mounted with its proximal end fixed to the distal end portion 40b of the front support column 42 and its distal end portion fixed to an appropriate position near the distal end of the jib 3. In this embodiment, a wire rope is used as the tension member 46, but a rod may be used instead of the wire rope.

The winch 44 is driven by a hydraulic motor indicated by reference numeral 55 in FIG. The hydraulic motor 55 is operated by an operation lever 54 for operating the valve 53. That is, when the operation lever 54 is pulled to operate the valve 53 in the direction of the arrow A, the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump 7 is supplied to the winch hoisting port 55a via the hydraulic pipeline 56, and the winch 44 is lifted in the hoisting direction. When the valve 53 is operated from the neutral position to the arrow B side by pressing the operation lever 54, the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump 7 is supplied to the winch lowering side port 55b via the hydraulic line 57. Then, the winch 44 is operated in the lowering direction.

Rope 45 extended from winch 44 of jib support device 4
Is a sheave 47 provided at the tip 40b of the support (rear support 41).
After that, the rope tip 45a is fixed to the turntable 11 side (a tension detector 9 described later).

When the winch 44 is operated in the hoisting direction, the rope 45 is wound around the winch 44, whereby the jib tip 3b is pulled through the support post 40 and the tension member 46, and the jib support device 4 When the jib 3 is pivoted in the upright direction with the support 40 and the like, and the winch 44 is operated in the lowering direction, the rope 45 is unwound from the winch 44, so that the jib 3 is moved down by its own weight. Becomes pivotal. The support 40 and the jib 3 are tension members.
The connection at 46 allows the jib 3 and the column 40 to move integrally with each other during the jib up / down operation.

A loading winch 14 is mounted on the swivel 11. The tip end of the rope 15 extended from the lifting winch 14 is wound around the sheaves 16 and 17 provided on the rear support 41 and the front support 42, respectively, and further wound on the sheave 18 at the jib tip 3b. After hanging down. A hook 61 is attached to the tip of the rope 15.

In the crane with a jib of this embodiment, the combined rotational moment of the rotational moment generated by the jib 3 and the rotational moment generated by the jib support device 4 is:
It fluctuates depending on the undulation angle of the jib 3. That is,
As the jib 3 is raised upward from the horizontal posture state, the rotational moment in the jib lodging direction decreases, while the jib support device 4 (particularly, the strut 40) moves as the jib 3 rises upward. The rotational moment in the jib raising direction increases. Therefore, the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 (the rotational moment in the jib falling direction).
Becomes smaller as the elevation angle of the jib 3 becomes larger, and as shown in FIG. 1, the boom 2 is raised up to the maximum elevation angle (for example, an angle of about 85 °) and the hook 61 is in an empty state. When the jib 3 stands up to the position shown by the chain line 3 ', for example, the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 may be reversed to the jib rearward falling side.
Further, as the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 fluctuates, the tension generated on the jib support device 4 fluctuates.

The crane with a jib of this embodiment prevents the problem that the combined rotational moment of the jib and the jib support device is reversed to the rear side when the jib 3 is excessively raised with respect to the boom 2 as described above. A jib raising restraint device is provided. The jib raising restriction device includes a tension detector 9 for detecting a tension generated in the jib support device 4 and a jib raising and lowering device based on a signal generated when the tension detector 9 detects a predetermined set tension value. An electric control circuit 10 (FIG. 5) for issuing a signal for prohibiting the operation control device 50 (FIG. 5) of the winch 44 from driving in the winch winding direction is provided.

In this embodiment, the tension detector 9 is fixed on the swivel table 11, and has a tip 45 a of a rope 45 extended from the winch 44 connected to an operating portion 9 a of the tension detector 9. Therefore, the tension detector 9 can detect the tension generated in the jib support device 4 via the rope 45 of the winch 44. The tension detector 9 is set so as to output a detection signal when the tension of the jib support device 4 falls below a tension value slightly larger than "0". In this way, the jib 3 is raised from the low position, and reaches the set tension value of the tension detector 9 immediately before the jib 3 reaches the allowable elevation limit angle. A detection signal is issued. In this embodiment, the tension detector 9 is connected to the tip 45 of the rope 45 extended from the winch 44.
In other embodiments, the tension detector 9 is connected to the jib support device 4 such as an intermediate position of the rope 45, a position where the tension can be detected on the column 40, or a tension member 46. It may be installed at any position as long as the generated tension can be detected.

The operation control device 50 of the jib hoisting winch 44 has a winch main control valve 53, a solenoid valve 51, and an unload valve 52, as shown in FIG. The solenoid valve 51 includes an electric control circuit (described in detail later) 10
The ON operation (the rightward movement in FIG. 5) is performed by the ON operation. Unload valve 52
Is connected to a winch-winding hydraulic line 56 for the winch drive hydraulic motor 55. When the solenoid valve 51 is turned on, the unload valve
52 operates to connect the winch winding hydraulic line 56 to the tank via the return line 59.

The electric control circuit 10 includes a tension detector 9 as shown in FIG.
A switch operated by a signal (signal line S) is used. The switch 10 is turned on when a signal S is issued from the tension detector 9.

The jib raising restriction device operates as follows. First,
When the tension generated in the jib support device 4 is larger than the set value set by the tension detector 9, no signal is output from the tension detector 9, and therefore the solenoid valve 51 and the unload valve 52 are in the OFF state. Is maintained. In this state, the main control valve 53 for the hydraulic motor 55 of the jib
Can be operated in either direction by pushing or pulling. The hydraulic motor 55 can be operated normally (the winch 44 can be raised and lowered, and the jib 3 can be operated in either the upright or the downturn direction. Can be). Also, winch 44
(The hydraulic pressure is supplied from the hydraulic pump 7 to the winch hoisting hydraulic line 56 of the hydraulic motor 55), and when the jib 3 reaches just before the allowable raising limit angle, the tension of the jib supporting device 4 is increased. Reaches the tension set value set by the tension detector 9, at which time the detection signal S from the tension detector 9 is issued and the switch 10 is turned on, whereby the solenoid valve 51 is turned on. At the same time, the unload valve 52 is also turned ON. Then, the pressure in the winch hoisting-side hydraulic pipeline 56 decreases, the hydraulic motor 55 immediately stops, and the jib stands up and the operation stops. Therefore, even when the main control valve 53 for operating the hydraulic motor is operated on the winch winding side, the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 may be further reduced (more than the allowable range). The jib 3 does not fall to the rear side due to its own weight on the jib support device 4 side. In this state, although the winch winding operation is restricted, the operation lever
Pressing the button 54 causes the hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic pump 7 to be supplied into the winch lowering-side hydraulic pipeline 57, and the hydraulic motor 55 can be operated in the winch lowering direction. When the winch 44 operates in the lowering direction, the jib 3 pivots in the falling direction by its own weight, and the jib support device 4
, The signal S from the tension detector 9 stops, the switch 10 and the solenoid valve 51 are turned off, and the unload valve 52 returns to its original state.

Further, in this embodiment, when a signal is output from a tension detector 9 for detecting the tension of the jib support device 4, a boom raising restriction device for prohibiting the boom 2 from raising further. And a boom extension restricting device for inhibiting extension of the boom 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the boom raising restriction device and the boom extension restriction device are a part of the above-described jib raising restriction device (the tension detector 9,
Switch 10 and solenoid valve 51)
Solenoid valve based on signal S from tension detector 9
When the 51 is turned on, the unload valve 62 provided in the hydraulic line 66 on the extension side of the undulating cylinder and the unloading valve provided in the hydraulic line 86 on the extension side of the telescopic cylinder 23 (FIG. 5). When the unload valves 62 and 88 are turned on, the pressure in the undulating cylinder extension side hydraulic line 66 and the expansion / contraction cylinder extension side hydraulic line are increased. Each of the pressures 86 can be reduced to the tank side through the return line 59. Therefore, when the tension detector 9 detects a tension equal to or less than the set value, the operation of the jib hoisting winch 44 in the hoisting direction is prohibited, and at the same time, the operation of the boom hoisting cylinder 21 and the boom telescopic cylinder 23 in the respective extending directions is prohibited. In a state where the signal S from the tension detector 9 is being emitted (a state in which the jib is standing up to just before the allowable raising limit angle), an operation in which the operator erroneously raises the jib 3 is performed. (The hoisting operation of the jib hoisting winch 44, the extension operation of the boom hoisting cylinder 21, and the boom telescopic cylinder
23, the jib 3 is no longer raised.

As described above, in this crane with a jib, the jib 3 does not stand up beyond the allowable elevation limit angle, so that the operator can raise the jib 3 (a winch hoisting operation or a boom raising / lowering cylinder, a boom Even if the extension operation of the telescopic cylinder or the like is continued for more than the limit, the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 does not fluctuate until it moves to the rear side, thus ensuring safety. You. Further, for example, when a weight is attached to the distal end 3b of the jib 3, the tension on the jib support device 4 side increases, whereby the allowable elevation angle of the jib can be increased, and the working range of the crane (especially, closer to the boom base end side). Although the crane operation can be performed with the crane operation range expanded in the direction, the jib 3 is enlarged even when the work is performed with the crane operation range expanded as described above. The above-mentioned safety is ensured since the robot is not raised up beyond the allowable elevation limit angle. The tension detector 9
When a predetermined set tension value is detected, the extension operation of the boom raising / lowering cylinder 21 and the boom extension / contraction cylinder 23 is prohibited, but the contraction operation of both the cylinders 21 and 23 is allowed, and the boom raising / lowering A boom lowering operation by a reduction operation of the cylinder 21 and a boom reduction operation by a reduction operation of the boom extension / contraction cylinder 23 are possible.

In this boom with a jib, when the tension detector 9 detects a predetermined set tension value, both lifting and lowering operations of the lifting winch 14 are inhibited by a signal from the tension detector 9. It can be designed as follows. In this way, for example, when the loading winch 14 is hoisted, a decrease in the rotational moment in the jib falling direction due to a decrease in the weight of the rope 15 is prevented, and when the loading winch 14 is lowered, the hook It is possible to prevent the rotation moment in the jib falling direction from decreasing due to the 61 being in contact with the ground.

The crane with a jib is provided with a cylinder 5 that acts to press the column 40 from below at the boom tip 2b (support 22). This cylinder 5 for supporting column
The cylinder 5 pivotally connects the tube 71 to the support 22 with a single shaft 70, and the distal end 72a of the rod 72.
The tip of the support 22 is connected to the tip of the support 22 by a link 73, and the rod tip 72a is mounted so as to be able to move while drawing a constant arc-shaped trajectory while the entire cylinder 5 swings during the cylinder expansion / contraction operation. The cylinder 5 can be manually expanded and contracted from the operator's cab. For example, when the cylinder 5 is extended with the jib 3 standing up to the vicinity of the allowable elevation limit angle, the rod tip 72a Is pillar 40 (front pillar 4
It can be abutted against the lower surface of 2). As described above, when the rod tip 72a of the cylinder 5 presses the lower surface of the column 40, the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 can be increased to the jib downside, and the cylinder 5 In a state where the lower surface is pressed, for example, by further raising the boom 2 from that state, the crane operation range (the crane operation range in the direction approaching the boom base end side) can be further expanded. or,
With the boom 2 and jib 3 standing upright, hook 61
When the load is removed from the jib, there is a case where the tension of the jib support device 4 is lost and the jib 3 exceeds the allowable elevation limit angle. In such a case (for example, the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 3), Although the jib 3 cannot be tilted in the falling direction by its own weight even if the winch 44 for raising and lowering the jib is lowered as it is, the column pressing cylinder 5 is extended while the winch 44 is lowered. By doing so, the support column 40 can be forcibly tilted forward as shown by a chain line 40 '(FIG. 3) (the combined rotational moment of the jib 3 and the jib support device 4 acts in the jib lodging direction). Will be).

The column pressing cylinder 5 is connected to the tension detector 9.
The telescopic operation may be automatically performed in conjunction with the operation.
That is, when the tension on the jib support device 4 decreases to a certain value, the tension is detected by the tension detector 9 and the cylinder 5 is extended based on a signal from the tension detector 9. By pressing the lower surface of the column 40 with a predetermined pressure by the cylinder 5, the tension of the jib support device 4 is increased. In this way, the working range of the crane can be further expanded by the pressing force of the column pressing cylinder 5, and such a function can be performed automatically, so that the operator forgets to operate the cylinder 5. Or incorrect operation can be prevented beforehand. The set tension value detected by the tension detector 9 can be changed according to, for example, the number of additional jib 3, and the pressing force of the column pressing cylinder 5 may be changed appropriately.

When the tension detector 9 detects a predetermined high tension value, the column pressing cylinder 5 prohibits the operation of the cylinder 5 in the extending direction (pressure oil supply to the extending direction side). Is also good. That is, in the state where the tension detector 9 detects the predetermined high tension value, not only the column pressing operation by the column pressing cylinder 5 is unnecessary, but also, for example, the rear side of the rope 5 in the high tension state of the rope 45. When the column 41 is pressed, the rear column 41 or the column pressing cylinder 5 may be damaged. However, the column pressing cylinder 5 is provided by prohibiting the extension operation of the cylinder 5 in such a high tension state. However, the above problem can be solved beforehand.

As shown in FIG. 4, the column pressing cylinder 5 supports the column (rear column) when the jib support device 4 is assembled.
It can also be used for standing up 41. That is, before assembling the jib support device 4, the rear support column 41 is normally stored along the upper surface of the boom 2 as shown by a solid line,
In the related art, when assembling the jib support device, when raising the heavy rear column 41, a separate crane has been used. However, when the column pressing cylinder 5 is used, by extending the cylinder 5, the rear column
As shown by the chain line 41 '(FIG. 4), the rod 41 can be raised up to the vicinity of the vertical position. After the rear column 41 is raised up to near the vertical position by the cylinder 5, the rope 45 extended from the winch is used.
The supporting column is tilted toward the jib 3 by the weight of the rear supporting column 41, and the distal end of the rear supporting column 41 and the distal end of the front supporting column 42 stored on the upper surface of the base end of the jib are connected by a connecting rod 43. What is necessary is just to connect.

1 to 4, reference numeral 8 denotes a stopper device including an abutment member 81 provided on the jib base end 3a and a receiving member 82 provided on the front surface of the boom tip 2a. For example, when the jib 3 is turned backward beyond the allowable elevation limit angle for some reason during crane operation, the stopper device 8 abuts the tip of the abutting member 81 against the receiving member 82, and the jib 3 Acts to prevent excessive backward turning.
Reference numeral 6 indicates a winch for raising or lowering the jib if for some reason.
This is a safety device for restricting the jib 3 from turning excessively downward when the support column 40 cannot be supported by the rope 45 extending from 44.
