Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport cable car for the transport of heavy loads with a motor-driven winch and a drive for moving a cabin containing at least one motor and rollers for a supporting cable.
  • Transport cable cars of the type mentioned at the outset are used, in particular on rough terrain, for example to bring trees down to the valley in forestry or to recover other heavy loads.
  • the trees or loads that are to be removed are not in the projection of the suspension cable, but that laterally such suspension cables from transport cable cars are heavy Objects such as how trees have to be grasped and used.
  • a diesel unit which is coupled to a hydraulic pump, is usually used to drive such transport cableways.
  • the transport cabin is deflected to a greater or lesser extent from its vertical position, which means that there is an overall risk that the lubrication of the drive motors will be impaired due to an inadmissible inclined position or even an automatic shutdown of the drive takes place.
  • the cabin walls or the cabin itself is constructed from stable or heavy materials, which results in a relatively high weight for the cable car cabin itself.
  • US-A-3 022 747 presents a transport and lifting device which, in contrast to known rigid systems, allows the drive motor to be oriented vertically. This position of the engine is achieved by the articulated connection of the rollers with the cabin carrying the engine, the cabin simultaneously taking on all the loads. The two roles are not rigidly coupled.
  • the invention now aims to develop a transport cable car of the type mentioned in such a way that lighter components can be used for the engine cabin and that inadmissible deflections of the engine cabin can be avoided in operation. Furthermore, the invention aims to significantly increase operational safety, especially when the reaction forces of the load suddenly become low, and to avoid overloading the supporting cable or the supports for the supporting cable.
  • the training according to the invention consists essentially in the fact that the rollers are mounted in or on a carrier rigidly connected to the cabin carrying the drive motor, that a hook-shaped bracket partially encompassing the supporting rope can be pivoted around the supporting rope on a rigidly attached to the cabin connected part is mounted, and that the cable winch is fixed to the pivotable bracket.
  • the design according to the invention also makes it possible to choose substantially simpler configurations, also with respect to the travel drive. Appropriate safety is ensured by partially gripping the suspension cable, excessive swiveling or swinging movements being avoided when the load is applied, thereby increasing operational safety. Another advantage, however, is that supports can be run over safely and without difficulty, without compromising the stability of the construction of the suspension cable supports.
  • the driving or tether can be arranged simply lying on the ground in the design according to the invention, and the design is advantageously made such that the drive is rigidly connected to the cabin and interacts with a tether, which is parallel in the pivot bearing of the bracket is guided to the suspension cable and the bearing of the bracket passes through together with the suspension cable, thereby ensuring simple guidance of the driving cable or the holding cable in the area in which the travel drive is to have an effect.
  • the bearing is designed such that the bearing of the pivotable bracket is designed as a roller or roller bearing on the circumference of a bearing part connected to the carrier of the rollers and engages around it by more than 180 ° and less than 360 °.
  • the bearing part has a V-shaped recess on the side facing the cabin and has a roller guide for the pulling or holding rope outside the pivot axis of the hook-shaped bracket.
  • the bracket is essentially C-shaped, the free ends of the legs being hook-shaped and having the pivot bearing, and the pivotable bracket encompassing the cabin.
  • the bracket is essentially C-shaped, the free ends of the legs being hook-shaped and having the pivot bearing, and the pivotable bracket encompassing the cabin.
  • the design is advantageously made such that the winch is fixed to one leg of the pivotable bracket near the pivot axis and a hydraulic drive has, which is connected via hydraulic lines to the pump and the tank arranged in the cabin, the transport or lifting rope being guided in a simple manner from the cable winch via deflection rollers to a roller in the central region of the bracket.
  • the reaction forces thus attack approximately in the middle of the C-shaped bracket, and the forces are introduced evenly into the two hooks on both sides of the cabin in the carrier of the rollers.
  • the design can be made such that the cable winch is fixed approximately in the middle of the central area of the bracket.
  • the cabin can have at least one remote control receiver for actuating the drives, so that the manipulation on site is made considerably easier.
  • the design can be such that the travel drive is designed as a belt drive and that a suspension cable brake is connected to the cabin.
  • the design can also be such that the traction drive is designed as a caterpillar drive, the caterpillars of which cooperate with the supporting cable, as a result of which a particularly simple design is achieved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a cable car according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a view in the direction of arrow II of Fig. 1 on the mounting of the bracket
  • Fig. 3 is a view in the direction of arrow III of Fig. 1 on the rollers, the drive and the cable brake.
  • Fig. 1 denotes a substantially C-shaped bracket which pivotally engages a support 3 via a bearing 2.
  • the bracket 1 encompasses a supporting cable 4 and carries one on one of its essentially upright legs Cable winch 5. Furthermore, pulleys 6 and 7 are mounted in the C-shaped bracket 1.
  • rollers are designated, which are stored in the carrier 3.
  • a pulling or holding rope 9 is also provided, which interacts with a drive schematically indicated by 10.
  • the actual cabin contains the motor and the hydraulic units and is denoted by 11 and connected to the carrier 3 of the rollers 8 at an angle-stiffness. There is also an additional fuse 12, which is inadmissible Loads should prevent the suspension cable 4 from escaping from the rollers 8.
  • Fig. 1 starting from the winch 5 over the rollers 6 and 7 guided transport or hoist rope is designated 13.
  • the details of the swivel mounting of the bracket 1 on the carrier 3 and thus on a part rigidly connected to the cabin 11 are illustrated in more detail in FIG. 2.
  • the hook-shaped end 14 of the C-shaped bracket 1 can be seen.
  • the hook-shaped end 14 engages over a bearing part 15, which in turn is rigidly connected to the carrier 3, the bearing 2 having a plurality of rollers 16.
  • the cable winch is again designated 5 and the first deflection roller for the hoisting rope is 6.
  • the bearing part 15 connected to the face of the carrier 3 has an essentially V-shaped cutout 17, in which the supporting cable 4 is inserted.
  • a further recess 18 is provided for the pulling or holding rope 9, the pulling or holding rope being eccentrically positioned in the respective position to the support rope 4 or to the pivot axis of the hook-shaped end 15 of the C-shaped bracket 1 in the respective position via rollers (not shown) is led.
