An output-torque estimation unit obtains a value of a current input to a motor, from a power converter, and calculates an estimated output torque value which is an estimated value of output torque of the motor, from the obtained value of the current. A load estimation unit estimates a load value of a hanging cargo based on the estimated output torque value which is calculated by the output-torque estimation unit, a speed reduction ratio of a speed reducer, an effective radius of a winch drum, and the winding number which is set by the number setting unit.

Load detector, and winding apparatus for crane comprising said detector

Provided is an electric winch apparatus capable of preventing irregular winding of a wire rope caused by landing of a hoisted-down suspended load. The electric winch apparatus includes a winch drum () around which a wire rope () is wound, an electric motor () which rotates the winch drum (), an operation lever (), a measurement unit () which measures a tension index value corresponding to a tension in the wire rope (), and a controller () which controls motion of the electric motor (). The controller () stops motion of the electric motor () when an operation in a lowering operation direction is applied the operation lever () and a tension average value as an average value of a tension in the wire rope () becomes less than or equal to a predetermined tension reference value, the average value of the tension corresponding to an average value of the tension index value in a predetermined period.

Electric winch device

An electrically driven winch device includes a winch drum, a plurality of axial-gap electric motors, and a drive shaft. The winch drum rotates around a drum axis in order to wind or unwind a work rope. The plurality of electric motors are electric motors configured to drive the winch drum to rotate, and are each provided with a stator, and rotors which rotate around a rotation axis and are disposed at an axial distance from the stator. The drive shaft is disposed coaxially with the drum axis and serially connects the rotors of the plurality of electric motors on the rotation axis.

Electrically driven winch device and mobile crane

Disclosed is a winch control apparatus for a crane, which comprises: a first compensation torque value calculation section which calculates, when a hoisting manipulation being input, based on a difference speed between a detected rotational speed and a target speed according to a manipulation amount of the hoisting manipulation, a first compensation torque value for enabling an electric motor to generate a reverse-rotation-preventing torque which is a torque in a hoisting direction and corresponding to the difference speed; and a second compensation torque value calculation section which calculates, when the hoisting manipulation being input, based on a detected load value, a second compensation torque value for enabling the electric motor to generate a load bearing torque which is a torque in the hoisting direction and necessary for bearing a load of the load value.

Winch control apparatus and crane

A cooling time computing unit computes, based on a temperature detected by a temperature detection unit, a cooling time during which an injection unit is cooled by driving of an engine. A notification control unit uses a notification unit to notify an operator of a necessity of cooling before the engine is stopped, during the cooling time computed by the cooling time computing unit.
