20100069810 | TRACTION APPARATUS AND TRACTION FORCE CONTROL METHOD FOR TRACTION APPARATUS - A traction force control method for a traction apparatus according to the present invention that impresses a desired traction force on an object to be hauled via a traction mechanism is provided. The method includes measuring, in a zero traction state in which an impressed traction force that is impressed on the object to be hauled is zero, the impressed traction force with a traction force sensor and outputting a zero traction value. The method also includes generating an added value in which an adjusting output from a control circuit is added to the zero traction force value; providing the added value to a drive circuit of a drive mechanism that drives the traction mechanism and outputting a drive signal that corresponds to the added value; performing adjustment by increasing or decreasing the adjusting output so that the drive signal becomes a reference value that puts the object to be hauled in the zero traction state, setting the zero traction value as a zero point of the zero traction force sensor, and the adjusting output obtained by the adjustment step as a zero point of the control output of the control circuit, respectively. | 03-18-2010 |
20090264804 | TRACTION APPARATUS AND TRACTION FORCE CONTROL METHOD OF TRACTION APPARATUS - In the traction apparatus, a control circuit has the following traction control process portions. First, a first traction control process portion winds up the slack portion of a wire by a motor to eliminate the slack of the wire connected to a body to be pulled. Next, a second traction control process portion converts a set traction force that is set by an operation portion to a traction amount to calculate a converted value and, by defining a predetermined amount of a traction amount set based on the converted value as an initial target value, continuously winds up the wire by the motor to that target value. Next, a third traction control process portion detects the traction force that is being applied to the body to be pulled by a load cell, calculates a drive stop time of the motor by defining the set traction force as a final target value on the basis of a detected output of the load cell and drives the drive mechanism, and stops the driving of the motor at a point of reaching the drive stop time. | 10-22-2009 |
