Description

La présente invention concerne un guide-câble ou guide-fil pour dispositif de trancanage d'un câble ou d'un fil sur un touret, voir p.e. FR-A-2 508 426 ou GB-A-865020.The present invention relates to a cable guide or wire guide for a device for cutting a cable or a wire on a reel, see e.g. FR-A-2 508 426 or GB-A-865020.

Dans de tels dispositifs, le câble ou fil doit être guidé à proximité du touret sur lequel il doit être enroulé en couches successives par un organe qui ne lui laisse qu'une très faible latitude de débattement vis-à-vis d'un axe dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du touret, en le confinant donc dans une zone de passage de peu supérieure à son diamètre, dans cependant risquer de la bloquer lorsque le câble présente un défaut de diamètre notablement supérieur, dû par exemple à une surépaisseur de la gaine isolante.In such devices, the cable or wire must be guided near the reel on which it must be wound in successive layers by a member which leaves it only a very small latitude of deflection with respect to an axis in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the reel, thus confining it in a passage zone of little greater than its diameter, however risking blocking it when the cable has a defect of appreciably greater diameter, due for example to an excess thickness of the insulating sheath.

On a déjà proposé des guide-câbles constitués par un ensemble de deux rouleaux portés chacun par une vis, ces vis étant d'axe commun parallèle à l'axe du touret, l'une étant à filet à droite et l'autre à filet à gauche. Les rouleaux résistent alors aux efforts exercés par un défaut du câble ou fil de diamètre supérieur à leur écartement, et ne laissent pas passer le câble, ce qui entraîne un blocage du trancanage et éventuellement la rupture du câble ou du fil.Cable guides have already been proposed consisting of a set of two rollers each carried by a screw, these screws being of common axis parallel to the axis of the drum, one being with a right-hand thread and the other with a thread. to the left. The rollers then resist the forces exerted by a defect in the cable or wire with a diameter greater than their spacing, and do not allow the cable to pass, which causes blocking of the cutting and possibly breaking of the cable or wire.

On a également proposé des guide-câbles constitués par un ensemble de deux rouleaux portés chacun par l'extrémité d'un ressort de compression. Lorsqu' il se présente un défaut, les rouleaux s'écartent pour le laisser passer. Mais si le câble se présente avec une certaine déviation angulaire par rapport au plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du touret, le rouleau sur lequel vient appuyer le câble s'efface au-delà d'un certain effort exercé par le câble, et le câble n'est plus guidé.Cable guides have also been proposed consisting of a set of two rollers each carried by the end of a compression spring. When a defect occurs, the rollers move apart to let it pass. But if the cable presents itself with a certain angular deviation with respect to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the reel, the roller on which the cable comes to abate disappears beyond a certain force exerted by the cable, and the cable is no longer guided.

La présente invention a pour but de procurer un guide-câble ou guide-fil qui résiste aux efforts exercés par le câble ou fil lorsque celui-ci se présente avec un écartement angulaire par rapport à un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du touret, mais qui laisse passer néanmoins les défauts du câble ou fil de diamètre notablement supérieur au diamètre normal du câble.The object of the present invention is to provide a cable guide or wire guide which resists the forces exerted by the cable or wire when the latter is presented with an angular spacing relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the reel, but which nevertheless allows faults in the cable or wire with a diameter significantly greater than the normal diameter of the cable to pass.

Le guide-câble ou guide-fil selon l'invention comprend deux rouleaux disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe d'avance normal du câble ou fil, portés à l'extrémité de deux biellettes symétriques pivotant autour d'axes fixes symétriques par rapport à cet axe d'avance, ces biellettes étant reliées à ces extrémités l'une à l'autre par un ressort de rappel de l'une vers l'autre, qui tend à serrer les rouleaux contre le câble et articulées par leur autre extrémité à des biellettes symétriques de liaison articulées avec la tête d'un coulisseau engagé avec un certain jeu dans une glissière légèrement plus large que la largeur du coulisseau, de sorte que les rouleaux appuient sur le câble pour son guidage même s'il dévie angulairement par rapport à son axe d'avance normal, mais qu'ils s'écartent l'un de l'autre lorsque le câble présente un défaut de diamètre.The cable guide or wire guide according to the invention comprises two rollers arranged on either side of the normal axis of advance of the cable or wire, carried at the end of two symmetrical rods pivoting about fixed axes symmetrical with respect to this axis of advance, these rods being connected at these ends one to the other by a return spring from one to the other, which tends to clamp the rollers against the cable and articulated by their other end to symmetrical connecting rods articulated with the head of a slide engaged with a certain play in a slide slightly wider than the width of the slide, so that the rollers press on the cable for its guidance even if it deviates angularly from its normal axis of advance, but that they deviate one on the other when the cable has a diameter defect.

De préférence, les articulations des biellettes avec les biellettes de liaison et de celles-ci avec la tête du coulisseau sont constituées par des douilles à billes.Preferably, the articulations of the rods with the connecting rods and of these with the head of the slide consist of ball bushings.

Il est décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple et en référence aux figures schématiques de dessin annexé, un guide-câble pour dispositif de trancanage d'un câble électrique sur un touret.It is described below, by way of example and with reference to the schematic figures of the appended drawing, a cable guide for device for cutting an electric cable on a reel.

La figure 1 représente l'ensemble du dispositif.Figure 1 shows the entire device.

La figure 2 représente la position que prend le dispositif lorsque la câble a tendance à repousser le rouleau de gauche vers la gauche de la figure.Figure 2 shows the position that the device takes when the cable tends to push the roller from the left to the left of the figure.

La figure 3 représente la position que prend le dispositif lorsque le câble a tendance à repousser le rouleau de droite vers la droite de la figure.Figure 3 shows the position that the device takes when the cable tends to push the roller from right to right of the figure.

La figure 4 représente la position que prend le dispositif lorsque le câble présente un défaut de diamètre.FIG. 4 represents the position that the device takes when the cable has a diameter defect.

Dans le dispositif de la figure 1, les rouleaux 9 et 10 sont portés par des axes 2 et 4 disposés à l'extrémité de biellettes symétriques 16 et 18 pivotant autour d'axes fixes 17 et 19 solidaires de la glissière 27 par une liaison non représentée. Un ressort de traction 15 est fixé respectivement en 5 et 6 sur les extrémités des biellettes. Leurs extrémités opposées sont articulées par des douilles à billes 21 et 24 sur des biellettes symétriques 20, 23 de liaison avec la tête 7 d'un coulisseau rectangulaire 26. Les biellettes de liaison 20, 23 sont elles-mêmes articulées par des douilles à billes 22, 25 sur cette tête de coulisseau.In the device of FIG. 1, the rollers 9 and 10 are carried by axes 2 and 4 arranged at the end of symmetrical rods 16 and 18 pivoting around fixed axes 17 and 19 secured to the slide 27 by a non-link represented. A tension spring 15 is fixed respectively at 5 and 6 to the ends of the links. Their opposite ends are articulated by ball bushings 21 and 24 on symmetrical connecting rods 20, 23 for connection with the head 7 of a rectangular slide 26. The connecting rods 20, 23 are themselves articulated by ball bushings 22, 25 on this slide head.

Le coulisseau 26 est engagé par son fond 8 dans une glissière rectangulaire 27 de largeur interne légèrement supérieure à la largeur externe du coulisseau. Le jeu entre le coulisseau et la glissière, ainsi que la nature des matériaux utilisés et éventuellement l'état des surfaces en regard, doivent être tels qu'un couple limité appliqué au coulisseau par l'intermédiaire des articulations 22 et 25 engendre un effort important de coincement s'opposant au glissement du coulisseau dans la glissière.The slide 26 is engaged by its bottom 8 in a rectangular slide 27 of internal width slightly greater than the external width of the slide. The clearance between the slide and the slide, as well as the nature of the materials used and possibly the condition of the facing surfaces, must be such that a limited torque applied to the slide via the joints 22 and 25 generates a significant effort. jamming opposing the sliding of the slide in the slide.

La figure 2 représente la position prise par le dispositif lorsque le câble 1 tend à repousser le rouleau de gauche 9 vers la gauche de la figure, par exemple lorsque, l'enroulement du câble sur le touret se faisant de la droite vers la gauche, la vitesse de translation du touret par rapport au guide-câble est un peu inférieure à celle correspondant à un enroulement jointif des spires.FIG. 2 represents the position taken by the device when the cable 1 tends to push the left roller 9 to the left of the figure, for example when, the winding of the cable on the reel being done from right to left, the speed of translation of the reel relative to the cable guide is slightly lower than that corresponding to a contiguous winding of the turns.

Le câble repousse alors vers la gauche l'extrémité de la biellette 16, qui pivote dans le sens trigonométrique autour de l'axe fixe 17. L'articulation 21 entre la biellette 17 et la biellette de liaison 21 pivote dans le même sens et repousse vers la droite et vers le bas de la figure cette biellette de liaison 21 et par suite son articulation 22 avec la tête 7 du coulisseau 26.The cable then pushes the end of the link 16 to the left, which pivots counterclockwise around the fixed axis 17. The articulation 21 between the link 17 and the connecting link 21 pivots in the same direction and pushes back to the right and down in the figure, this connecting rod 21 and consequently its articulation 22 with the head 7 of the slide 26.

Par ailleurs, l'extrémité supérieure de la biellette de droite 18 est sollicitée vers la gauche de la figure par le ressort de liaison 15. La biellette de droite 18 pivote également dans le sens trigonométrique autour de l'axe fixe 19. Son articulation 24 avec la biellette de liaison 23 est sollicitée vers la droite. Cette biellette de liaison tire ainsi vers la droite son articulation 25 avec la tête 7 du coulisseau 26.Furthermore, the upper end of the right link 18 is urged to the left of the figure by the connecting spring 15. The right link 18 also pivots in a counterclockwise direction around the fixed axis 19. Its articulation 24 with the connecting rod 23 is biased to the right. This connecting rod thus pulls to the right its articulation 25 with the head 7 of the slide 26.

Sous l'effet de ces deux sollicitations conjugées, le coulisseau 26 est soumis à un couple de rotation qui tend à le coincer dans la glissière 27, avec laquelle il entre en contact aux points 29 en haut de cette glissière et 28 à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Le déplacement vers la gauche du rouleau 9 est ainsi bloqué et le rouleau reste en contact avec le câble 1, dont le guidage est maintenu.Under the effect of these two combined stresses, the slide 26 is subjected to a torque which tends to wedge it in the slide 27, with which it comes into contact at the points 29 at the top of this slide and 28 inside. of it. The movement to the left of the roller 9 is thus blocked and the roller remains in contact with the cable 1, the guidance of which is maintained.

La figure 3 montre la position prise par le dispositif lorsqu'au contraire le câble 1 tend à repousser le rouleau de droite 10 vers la droite, par exemple lorsque, l'enroulement du câble sur le touret se faisant de la gauche vers la droite, la vitesse relative de translation du touret par rapport au guide-câble est un peu inférieure à celle correspondant à un enroulement jointif des spires.FIG. 3 shows the position taken by the device when, on the contrary, the cable 1 tends to push the right roller 10 to the right, for example when, the winding of the cable on the reel being done from left to right, the relative speed of translation of the reel relative to the cable guide is a little lower than that corresponding to a contiguous winding of the turns.

Symétriquement par rapport à ce qui a été indiqué en référence à la figure 2, l'extrémité supérieure de la biellette 18 est repoussée sur la droite, et cette biellette tourne dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre autour de l'axe 19. Elle repousse dès lors la biellette de liaison 23 et la tête 7 du coulisseau 26 vers la gauche et vers le bas de la figure soumettant ainsi le coulisseau à un couple de rotation. Le coulisseau 26 vient donc se bloquer dans la glissière 27, aux points 30 et 31. Le rouleau de gauche 9 est sollicité vers la droite par le ressort de traction 15, et la biellette 16 tend à se déplacer vers la gauche participant ainsi au coincement du coulisseau 26 dans sa glissière. Le rouleau de droite 10 est bloqué en position et reste en contact avec le câble 1, dont le guidage est maintenu.Symmetrically with respect to what has been indicated with reference to FIG. 2, the upper end of the link 18 is pushed back to the right, and this link rotates clockwise around the axis 19. It therefore pushes the connecting rod 23 and the head 7 of the slide 26 to the left and down the figure thus subjecting the slide to a torque. The slide 26 therefore comes to jam in the slide 27, at points 30 and 31. The left roller 9 is biased to the right by the tension spring 15, and the link 16 tends to move to the left thus participating in jamming of the slide 26 in its slide. The right roller 10 is locked in position and remains in contact with the cable 1, the guidance of which is maintained.

La figure 4 est relative au cas où il se présente entre les rouleaux de guidage un défaut de diamètre 3 du câble, correspondant par exemple à une surépaisseur de la gaine en forme générale d'olive dépassant le diamètre normal du câble. L'olive repousse simultanément les deux rouleaux, le rouleau 9 vers la gauche, le rouleau 10 vers la droite de façon sensiblement égale, si le défaut est sensiblement symétrique. Les biellettes 16 et 18 pivotent toutes deux autour de leurs axes. Elles transmettent par les biellettes de liaison 20 et 23 un effort tendant à enfoncer le coulisseau dans sa glissière, sans le coincer dans celle-ci, du fait que la symétrie des efforts n'engendre pas un couple de rotation du coulisseau. Les deux rouleaux s'écartent symétriquement, permettant le passage de l'olive, puis sont rappelés l'un vers l'autre par le ressort 15 dès que l'olive les a dépassés. Le guidage du câble n'est donc pas interrompu.FIG. 4 relates to the case where there is between the guide rollers a defect of diameter 3 of the cable, corresponding for example to an excess thickness of the sheath in the general shape of an olive exceeding the normal diameter of the cable. The olive simultaneously repels the two rollers, the roller 9 to the left, the roller 10 to the right substantially equally, if the defect is substantially symmetrical. The rods 16 and 18 both pivot about their axes. They transmit by the connecting rods 20 and 23 a force tending to push the slider into its slide, without jamming it therein, because the symmetry of the forces does not generate a torque of rotation of the slider. The two rollers move away symmetrically, allowing the passage of the olive, then are returned to each other by the spring 15 as soon as the olive has passed them. Cable guidance is therefore not interrupted.

Si le défaut n'est pas symétriquement disposé par rapport à l'axe général du câble l'axe du câble au droit du défaut se déplacera de telle sorte qu'il coincide avec la direction générale de tirage du câble déterminée par les points de contact du câble avec la bobine et les organes de guidage en amont du guide-câble. Il suffit d'un très léger déplacement de cet axe pour que le glissement du coulisseau 26 dans la glissière 27 soit normal de la même façon que dans les cas illustrés par les figures 2 et 3 ; il suffit d'une très légère inclinaison de la trajectoire du câble au delà des rouleaux par rapport à l'axe du système pour engendrer un effort de blocage important du coulisseau dans la glissière.If the fault is not symmetrically arranged with respect to the general axis of the cable the cable axis to the right of the fault will move so that it coincides with the general direction of cable pulling determined by the points of contact of the cable with the coil and the guide members upstream of the cable guide. A very slight displacement of this axis is sufficient for the sliding of the slide 26 in the slide 27 to be normal in the same way as in the cases illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3; a very slight inclination of the path of the cable beyond the rollers relative to the axis of the system is sufficient to generate a significant locking force of the slide in the slide.
