Luffing-jib tower crane with jib angle error control

摘要

A luffing-jib tower crane, comprising a tower and a jib which is connected to the tower via a joint and is held by a luffing cable, wherein the length of the luffing cable can be changed by a drawing-in unit, by the luffing cable being wound onto or unwound from a cable drum of the drawing-in unit, wherein the angle of the jib with respect to the horizontal plane is measured by a first sensor winch is attached to the jib (first angular value), wherein a measuring device measures the length of the unwound part of the luffing cable, from which length the minimum angle of the jib with respect to the horizontal plane (second angular value) can be calculated, and the first angular value can be compared with the second angular value.

1. A luffing-jib tower crane, comprising:
a tower, a jib connected to the tower via a joint, and a luffing cable holding the jib, wherein a drawing-in unit is configured to adjust a length of the luffing cable by winding the luffing cable onto a cable drum of the drawing-in unit or unwinding the luffing cable from the cable drum, wherein an angle of the jib with respect to the horizontal plane is measured by a first sensor attached to the jib, the angle having a first angle value, wherein a measuring device measures a length of an unwound part of the luffing cable so as to calculate a minimum angle of the jib with respect to the horizontal plane based on the length of the unwound part of the luffing cable, the calculated angle having a second angle value, and wherein the measuring device facilitates comparison of the first angle value and the second angle value.
