LIFT DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING
20230077831 · 2023-03-16 ·

A lift device and a method of controlling the lift device are provided. The lift device has an electric motor drivingly coupled to a traction device, and a traction battery. A hydraulic circuit has a pump with a pump motor, and a valve. In response to a voltage being above a threshold voltage while the electric motor is outputting a braking torque and providing electrical power to the battery, flow of the pump is increased and the valve is controlled to reduce a size of the valve opening and increase pressure in the pressure galley thereby reducing electrical power to the traction battery. The flow of the pump and the valve position are therefore controlled in response to a braking power output being greater than a threshold to dissipate braking power output into the hydraulic circuit and charge the traction battery with the remaining braking power output.

BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR SECURING A CONVEYOR DEVICE, CONVEYOR DEVICE AND CRANE SYSTEM

The invention relates to a brake assembly (1) for securing a conveyor device, in particular a crane system (100), comprising a first brake device (7) which acts on a first drive element (3), a second brake device (8) which acts on a second drive element (5), a transmission device (4), in particular a gearbox, acting between the first and second drive element, a load sensor (13, 13′) which detects a load signal and passes same on to a controller (9), and the controller (9) is designed in such a way that, based on a load signal that exceeds an overload threshold, it initiates an emergency brake status and actuates the first and the second brake device (7, 8) in such a way that they act on the first and second drive element (3, 5) simultaneously within a first brake acting time, wherein one of the first and second brake devices is designed such that it acts on the first and/or the second drive element within a second brake acting time in a normal brake status, and the first brake acting time is shorter than the second brake acting time.
