Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A crane for transporting a load from a transportation origin to a transportation destination, the crane being provided with: an operation function unit provided so as to be turnable; a hook suspended by a wire rope from a distal end part of the operation function unit; an information-reading unit provided to the hook or a member that moves with the hook, the information-reading unit acquiring information relating to a position of the transportation destination from an information storage unit provided to the load; a control unit for calculating, on the basis of the information relating to the position acquired from the information-reading unit, information relating to an operation of the crane for transporting the load to the transportation destination; and a display unit for displaying the information relating to the position and the information relating to the operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A crane for transporting a load from a transportation origin to a transportation destination, the crane comprising: an operation function unit provided to be turnable; a hook suspended by a wire rope from a distal end part of the operation function unit; an information-reading unit provided to the hook or a member that moves with the hook, the information-reading unit acquiring information relating to a position of the transportation destination from an information storage unit provided to the load; a control unit calculating information relating to an operation of the crane for transporting the load to the transportation destination based on the information relating to the position acquired from the information-reading unit; and a display unit displaying the information relating to the position and the information relating to the operation, wherein the information-reading unit acquires information relating to the load from the information storage unit, and the control unit: acquires attitude information of the crane at the transportation destination, acquires, as performance information, a maximum weight of a load that can be lifted when the crane is in an attitude indicated by the attitude information, determines whether the crane can transport the load to the transportation destination based on the information relating to the position, the information relating to the load, and the performance information, and controls the display unit to display a result of the determination when it is determined that the crane cannot transport the load to the transportation destination. 2 . The crane according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit calculates information relating to an attitude of the crane that the crane is able to take when the load is transported to the transportation destination based on the information relating to the position, and performs the determination based on the information relating to the attitude. 3 . The crane according to claim 1 , wherein the information relating to the operation includes information relating to an attitude of the crane that the crane is able to take when the load is transported to the transportation destination. 4 . The crane according to claim 3 , wherein the information relating to the operation includes information relating to an attitude of the crane corresponding to the transportation origin and the attitude information relating to the attitude of the crane corresponding to the transportation destination. 5 . The crane according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of operation units for operating the crane, wherein the information relating to the operation includes information relating to an operation amount of the operation unit and information relating to an operation direction of the operation unit, the operation amount and the operation direction corresponding to an attitude of the crane that the crane is able to take when the load is transported from the transportation origin to the transportation destination. 6 . The crane according to claim 2 , wherein the information relating to the attitude includes a turning angle of the operation function unit, a length of the operation function unit, a luffing angle of the operation function unit, and a suspended length of the wire rope, and the display unit displays information reaching a target attitude corresponding to the information relating to the position of the transportation destination and information not reaching the target attitude in different display modes out of the information relating to the attitude. 7 . The crane according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit displays the information relating to the operation in a display mode in accordance with a priority order of a motion in the crane. 8 . The crane according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage unit for storing identification information of the load in association with position information of the load corresponding to the transportation destination for each transportation. 9 . A transportation destination presentation method performed in a crane for transporting a load from a transportation origin to a transportation destination, the transportation destination presentation method comprising: a step of acquiring, by an information-reading unit provided in a hook or a member that moves with the hook, information relating to a position of the transportation destination from an information storage unit provided to the load; a step of calculating information relating to an operation of the crane for transporting the load to the transportation destination based on the information relating to the position acquired from the information-reading unit; a step of displaying the information relating to the position and the information relating to the operation; a step of acquiring information relating to the load from the information storage unit; a step of acquiring attitude information of the crane at the transportation destination; a step of acquiring, as performance information, a maximum weight of a load that can be lifted when the crane is in an attitude indicated by the attitude information; a step of determining whether the crane can transport the load to the transportation destination based on the information relating to the position, the information relating to the load, and the performance information; and a step of displaying a result of the determination when it is determined that the crane cannot transport the load to the transportation destination.
