Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Bevorratung großer Längen eines langgestreckten, flexiblen Gegenstandes, insbesondere Elektrokabel, Schlauch oder Röhren.The invention relates to an arrangement for storing long lengths of an elongated, flexible object, in particular electric cable, hose or tubes.

Die Anordnung kann stationär oder auf einem Fahrzeug installiert sein. Bei der Betrachtung eines Fahrzeugs kommt insbesondere ein antriebsloses Wasserfahrzeug, beispielsweise ein Schwimmponton infrage. Es sind sogenannte schwimmende Kabelleger bekannt, von denen Seekabel auf dem Meeresgrund verlegt werden. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Kabel in einen Kabelraum des Wasserfahrzeugs eingebracht ist, um es von dort aus über Bord auf den Meeresboden zu verlegen (beispw. JP 2000139013 A ).The arrangement may be stationary or mounted on a vehicle. When considering a vehicle, in particular a non-powered watercraft, such as a floating pontoon in question. There are so-called floating cable laying known, of which submarine cables are laid on the seabed. In this case, it can be provided that the cable is inserted into a cable space of the watercraft in order to lay it from there overboard to the seabed (eg. JP 2000139013 A ).

Die Alternative ist es, ein Kabel oder mehrere Kabelabschnitte auf Kabelrollen zu bevorraten; beispielsweise sei die GB 1451407 hier zitiert. Hierbei ergibt es sich, dass auf eine Kabelrolle nur eine begrenzte Länge eines Kabels aufgewickelt werden kann. Wollte man eine größere Länge eines Kabels verlegen, als auf einer einzigen Kabelrolle vorhanden ist, so muss der Kabelabschnitt von einer ersten Kabelrolle nach ihrem vollständigen Abwickeln von der ersten Kabelrolle mit dem Anfang des Kabelabschnitts einer zweiten Kabelrolle verbunden (gespleißt) werden. Es lassen sich größere Längen eines Kabels nicht kontinuierlich auf zwei unabhängigen Kabelrollen aufwickeln und wieder abwickeln, weil der Wickeltrommelkern mindestens einmal umschlungen wird, und sich die Umschlingung ohne Trennung (Unterbrechung) des Kabelabschnitts nicht lösen lässt.The alternative is to stock one or more cable sections on cable reels; for example, be the GB 1451407 quoted here. It follows that only a limited length of cable can be wound on a cable reel. If one wishes to lay a greater length of cable than is available on a single cable reel, the cable section must be spliced from a first cable reel to its full unwinding from the first cable reel to the beginning of the cable section of a second cable reel. Larger lengths of cable can not be wound continuously on two independent cable reels and unwound because the reel drum core is wrapped at least once and the wrap can not be loosened without disconnecting (interrupting) the cable section.

Um Wickelgut in einer Länge zu bevorraten, die das Aufnahmevermögen einer einzigen Wickeltrommel übersteigt, ist schon vorgeschlagen worden, mehrere Wickeltrommel in einer Reihe anzuordnen und sie gemeinsam an ihren Achsen abzustützen, und dort auch anzutreiben (vgl. US 2008 0048063 , EP 0014193 A1 ), oder sie an ihren Radkränzen anzutreiben (vgl. US 3 934 854 ).In order to store winding material in a length which exceeds the capacity of a single winding drum, it has already been proposed to arrange a plurality of winding drum in a row and to support them together on their axes, and also to drive there (see. US 2008 0048063 . EP 0014193 A1 ), or to drive them on their wheel rims (cf. US 3,934,854 ).

Die US 2 958 478 zeigt eine Anordnung mit einer einzigen Wickeltrommel auf einer Standfläche zur Bevorratung eines langgestreckten Gegenstandes. Die Wickeltrommel besteht aus zwei Trommelscheiben einheitlichen Durchmessers, zwischen denen ein zylindrischer Trommelkern vorhanden ist. Die Wickeltrommel ist so aufgeständert, dass der Trommelkern der Wickeltrommel parallel zur Standfläche liegt, wobei Radkränze der Trommelscheiben der Wickeltrommel auf freilaufenden Rollen gelagert sind.The US 2 958 478 shows an arrangement with a single winding drum on a footing for storing an elongated object. The winding drum consists of two drum disks of uniform diameter, between which a cylindrical drum core is present. The winding drum is elevated so that the drum core of the winding drum is parallel to the standing surface, wherein wheel rims of the drum discs of the winding drum are mounted on free-running rollers.

In der US 3,375,991 ist ein einziger Antrieb für mehrere Wickeltrommeln beschrieben. Die Wickeltrommeln sind über ihre Radkränze auf Rollen gelagert und liegen mit den Wickeltrommel-Achsen in einer Linie nebeneinander. In der US 3,375,991 ist dargestellt, dass jede Wickeltrommel mit eigenem Wickelgut beschickbar ist. Eine Vorrichtung zum Beschicken der Wickeltrommeln ist allerdings nicht beschrieben. Der Antrieb ist weiterhin so gestaltet, dass unterschiedliche Rotationsgeschwindigkeiten der Wickeltrommeln zugelassen sind, die durch unterschiedliche Kräfte und Reibungswiderstände am aufzuwickelnden Wickelgut auftreten können.In the US 3,375,991 is described a single drive for several winding drums. The winding drums are mounted on rollers via their wheel rims and lie in a line next to each other with the winding drum axes. In the US 3,375,991 It is shown that each winding drum can be charged with its own winding material. However, a device for feeding the winding drums is not described. The drive is further designed so that different rotational speeds of the winding drums are allowed, which can occur due to different forces and frictional resistance on the wound winding material.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Anordnung anzugeben, die es erlaubt einen langen Gegenstand, dessen Länge so groß ist, dass sie das Aufnahmevermögen einer einzigen Wickeltrommel übersteigt, sowohl auf- als auch abzuwickeln. Mehrere Wickeltrommeln sollen mit einer kontinuierlichen Länge eines langgestreckten, flexiblen Gegenstandes beschickbar sein, ohne dass getrennte Abschnitte des Gegenstandes gespleißt werden müssen.It is the object of the invention to provide an arrangement that allows both a long object whose length is so large that it exceeds the capacity of a single winding drum, both on and unwind. A plurality of winding drums are to be loadable with a continuous length of an elongate, flexible article without having to splice separate sections of the article.

Die Lösung wird in den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs wiedergegeben. Weitergehende Ausgestaltungen sind in Unteransprüchen zu finden. In den jeweiligen Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung beansprucht.The solution is reflected in the features of the main claim. Further developments can be found in subclaims. In the respective subclaims advantageous developments of the invention are claimed.

Die Anordnung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie mehrere Antriebsvorrichtungen in Form antreibbarer Rollen aufweist. Die antreibbaren Rollen können so eingesetzt sein, dass sie an einer einzigen Wickeltrommel angreifen, oder es können antreibbaren Rollen an mehreren Wickeltrommeln zum Angriff kommen.The arrangement is characterized in that it has a plurality of drive devices in the form of drivable rollers. The drivable rollers may be used to engage a single winding drum, or driven rollers may be engaged on a plurality of winding drums.

Die Anordnung umfasst: eine Vorrichtung zum Aufständern von Wickeltrommeln in einer Lage, in der Achsen der Wickeltrommeln parallel zur horizontalen Standfläche liegen und die Achsen in einer geraden Linien hintereinander angeordnet sind, eine Antriebsvorrichtung für mindestens eine Wickeltrommel zum in Drehbewegungsetzen um ihre Achse und eine Vorrichtung zum Beschicken (Auf und Abwickeln des Gegenstandes) mindestens einer Wickeltrommel mit dem Gegenstand. Die Anordnung kann stationär oder auf einem Fahrzeug, insbesondere antriebsloses Wasserfahrzeug, beispielsweise ein Schwimmponton, eingerichtet sein.The arrangement comprises: an apparatus for winding reeling drums in a position in which the axes of the reeling drums are parallel to the horizontal support surface and the axles are arranged in a straight line one behind the other, a drive device for at least one reeling drum about its axis and a device for feeding (winding and unwinding the object) at least one winding drum with the object. The arrangement may be stationary or mounted on a vehicle, in particular an unpowered watercraft, for example a floating pontoon.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass ein flexibler, langgestreckter Gegenstand aufgebracht werden kann, dessen Länge größer ist das Aufnahmevermögen einer einzelnen Wickeltrommel. Sollte ein flexibler, langgestreckter Gegenstand auf mehreren Wickeltrommeln bevorratet werden, ist dies kaum ohne Spleißen von einzelnen Abschnitten des Gegenstandes möglich. Eine vorgegebene Standfläche (Gesamtlänge eines Fahrzeugs) kann in nahezu ganzer Länge ausgenutzt werden.The particular advantage of the invention is that a flexible, elongated object can be applied whose length is greater than the capacity of a single winding drum. Should a flexible, elongated object be stored on several winding drums, this is hardly possible without splicing of individual sections of the object. A given footprint (total length of a vehicle) can be exploited in almost the entire length.

Eine Wickeltrommel hat die besonderen Merkmale, dass an mindestens einer Trommelscheibe ein Einfädelfenster für den Gegenstand (Elektrokabel, Pipeline, flexibles Rohr) vorhanden ist und an jedem Einfädelfenster ein Einsatz vorhanden ist, mit dem eine durch das Einfädelfenster im Radkranz der Trommelscheibe gebildete Öffnung überbrückbar ist.A winding drum has the special features that on at least one drum disc Einfädelfenster for the subject (electrical cable, pipeline, flexible tube) is present and at each Einfädelfenster an insert is present with which an opening formed by the Einfädelfenster in the rim of the drum disc can be bridged ,

Der wesentliche Aufbau der Anordnung besteht in einer Standfläche zur Aufnahme von Wickeltrommeln für einen langgestreckten, flexiblen Gegenstand, wobei eine Wickeltrommel aus zwei Trommelscheiben einheitlichen Durchmessers besteht, zwischen denen ein zylindrischer Trommelkern vorhanden ist, auf den der Gegenstand wickelbar ist, und weitere Einzelheiten der Anordnung sind:

Der langgestreckte, flexible Gegenstand kann ein Schlauch, ein Elektrokabel, ein Halbfabrikat eines Kabels oder ähnliches sein.The elongate, flexible article may be a hose, an electrical cable, a semi-finished cable or the like.

Weitere besondere Ausgestaltungen sind in Unteransprüchen formuliert, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander verwirklicht sein können. Diese Merkmale sind folgende:Further particular embodiments are formulated in subclaims, which can be implemented individually or in combination with each other. These features are the following:

Die Antriebsvorrichtung kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass mindestens eine der als Antrieb ausgebildeten Rollen in synchrone Drehbewegung versetzbar ist. Weiterhin können mehrere Antriebsvorrichtungen vorhanden und derart eingerichtet sein, dass alle Wickeltrommeln in synchrone Drehung versetzbar sind. Zwischen den Wickeltrommeln können Verbindungselemente (beispielsweise Streben) vorhanden sind, mit denen eine starre Verbindung zwischen den Wickeltrommeln herstellbar ist. Die Antriebsvorrichtung kann versenkt in der Standfläche angeordnet sein, so dass sie bei Nichtgebrauch durch schwere Metall- oder Betonplatten abgedeckt werden kann, so dass die abgedeckte Fläche von Fahrzeugen befahrbar wird.The drive device can be designed such that at least one of the rollers designed as a drive can be set in synchronous rotary motion. Furthermore, a plurality of drive devices may be present and arranged such that all winding drums can be set in synchronous rotation. Between the winding drums connecting elements (for example, struts) are present, with which a rigid connection between the winding drums can be produced. The drive device can be arranged sunk in the floor space, so that it can be covered when not in use by heavy metal or concrete slabs, so that the covered area of vehicles is passable.

Die Vorrichtung zum Aufständern jeder Wickeltrommel kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass Radkränze der Trommelscheiben auf Rollen gelagert sind, von denen mindestens eine - wie erwähnt - drehbar antreibbar ist. Die Rollen und Radkränze können mit einer flachen Oberfläche oder mit profilierter Oberfläche ausgestattet sein. Somit können Rollen und Radkränze reibend (kraftschlüssig) aneinander greifen. Alternativ können profilierte Oberflächen auf Rollen und Radkränzen ausgebildet sein, so dass Rollen und Radkränze formschlüssig ineinander greifen. Die Ausbildung kann als Verzahnung (Zahnrad und Zahnkranz auf Umfang einer Trommelscheibe) gestaltet sein.The device for Aufständern each winding drum may be formed such that wheel rims of the drum discs are mounted on rollers, of which at least one - as mentioned - is rotatably driven. The wheels and wheel rims can be equipped with a flat surface or with a profiled surface. Thus, rollers and wheel rims can grasp friction (force) together. Alternatively, profiled surfaces may be formed on rollers and wheel rims, so that rollers and wheel rims engage with one another in a form-fitting manner. The training can be designed as a toothing (gear and ring gear on the circumference of a drum disc).

An mindestens einer Wickeltrommel soll ein Einfädelfenster für den Gegenstand (Elektrokabel) vorhanden sein.On at least one winding drum, a threading window for the object (electric cable) should be present.

An jedem Einfädelfenster ist ein Einsatz vorhanden ist, mit dem eine durch das Einfädelfenster im Radkranz der Trommelscheibe gebildete Öffnung überbrückbar ist.At each threading window an insert is present, with which an opening formed by the threading window in the rim of the drum disc can be bridged.

An mindestens einer Trommelscheibe kann eine Ablaufschnecke vorhanden sein, welche am Einfädelfenster beginnend sich spiralförmig zum Trommelkern fortsetzt. Die Ablaufschnecke liegt an der während eines Beschickungsvorgangs vom Gegenstand zuerst erreichten Innenfläche einer Trommelscheibe oder Innenfläche einer Stützscheibe.On at least one drum disc, a flow screw may be present, which continues at the threading window starting spiraling to the drum core. The drain screw is located on the inside surface of a drum disk or inner surface of a support disk first reached by the object during a loading operation.

Eine Wickeltrommel, insbesondere für die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung, bestehend aus zwei Trommelscheiben, zwischen denen ein zylindrischer Trommelkern vorhanden ist, soll folgende Merkmale aufweisen, dass an mindestens einem Radkranz einer Trommelscheibe ein den Radkranz unterbrechendes Einfädelfenster und ein Einsatz vorhanden ist, mit dem der durch das Einfädelfenster unterbrochene Radkranz überbrückbar ist.A winding drum, in particular for the arrangement according to the invention, consisting of two drum discs, between which a cylindrical drum core is present, should have the following features that at least one rim of a drum disc a wheel rim interrupting Einfädelfenster and an insert is present, with which by the Threading window interrupted wheel rim is bridgeable.

Eine alternative Wickeltrommel, insbesondere für die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung, kann wie folgt ausgebildet ein. Sie hat zwei Trommelscheiben einheitlichen Durchmessers mit einem zylindrischen Trommelkern zwischen den Trommelscheiben, wobei die Länge des Trommelkerns in einheitlicher Unterteilung unterbrochen ist, und dort jeweils eine als Stützscheibe ausgebildete Trommelscheibe vorhanden ist. Die Stützscheiben laufen auf ihrem Radkranz auf Unterstützungsrollen. Damit werden die Gewichte abgefangen, die durch die vergrößerte Länge des Trommelkerns und durch das Gewicht des aufgebrachten Gegenstandes (Elektrokabel) erzeugt werden. Die Unterteilung des Trommelkerns kann im Muster 1/2:1/2 (hier eine Stützscheibe auf dem Trommelkern); 1/3:1/3:1/3 (hier zwei Stützscheiben); 1/4:1/4:1/4:1/4 (hier drei Stützscheiben auf dem Trommelkern) und so weiter - je nach Länge des Trommelkerns - vorgenommen sein. Die Stützscheiben können denselben Durchmesser haben, wie die endständigen Trommelscheiben. Der Durchmesser kann auch vom Durchmesser der endständigen Trommelscheiben unterschiedlich sein. Es kommt auf die Lage der Unterstützungsrollen an.An alternative winding drum, in particular for the arrangement according to the invention, can be designed as follows. It has two drum disks of uniform diameter with a cylindrical drum core between the drum discs, wherein the length of the drum core is interrupted in a uniform subdivision, and there is in each case formed as a support disk drum disc. The support discs run on support wheels on their rim. Thus, the weights are intercepted, which are generated by the increased length of the drum core and by the weight of the applied object (electric cable). The subdivision of the drum core can in the pattern 1/2: 1/2 (here a support disk on the drum core); 1/3: 1/3: 1/3 (here two support disks); 1/4: 1/4: 1/4: 1/4 (here three support disks on the drum core) and so on - be made depending on the length of the drum core. The support disks may have the same diameter as the end drum disks. The diameter may also be different from the diameter of the end drum discs. It depends on the location of the support rollers.

Diese alternative Wickeltrommel hat ebenso an mindestens einem Radkranz einer Stützscheibe ein den Radkranz unterbrechendes Einfädelfenster und es ist ein Einsatz vorhanden, mit dem die am Radkranz durch das Einfädelfenster gebildete Öffnung überbrückbar ist.This alternative winding drum also has on at least one wheel rim of a support disk, a wheel rim interrupting Einfädelfenster and there is an insert with which the opening formed on the rim through the threading window can be bridged.

Bei der Beschickung der Wickeltrommel(n) kann eine ungleichmäßige Beladung einzelner Wickeltrommel auftreten. Bei einer Unsymmetrie der Massen auf einer Wickeltrommel in Bezug zur Rotationsachse entsteht Unwucht, die den Antriebsmechanismus mechanisch belastet. Weiterhin besteht die Gefahr der Beschädigung des aufgebrachten Gegenstandes. Bei Auftreten einer Unwucht durch ungleichmäßige Massenverteilung sollte die Anordnung stillgesetzt werden, um bei den durch Unwucht betroffenen Wickeltrommeln einen Unwuchtausgleich vorzunehmen. Die Wickeltrommeln können daher im Innern des Trommelkerns mit mindestens einem Behälter zur Aufnahme von Zusatzgewichten fest feste oder fluide Stoffe ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere über den Durchmesser verteilte Behälter eingebaut, die vorzugsweise als Wassertanks gestaltet sind. Diese können relativ schnell gefüllt und geleert werden. Nach dem Unwuchtausgleich kann der Antriebsmechanismus unmittelbar wieder in Gang gesetzt werden. Eine elektronische Überwachung der Antriebe sollte so gestaltet sein, dass die auftretenden Drehmomente oder die elektrische Leistungsaufnahme an den Antriebsrollen mittels einer elektronischen Sensoranordnung erfassbar sind und bei dem Auftreten kritischer Größen von Drehmoment oder Leistungsaufnahme, die auf Unwucht schließen lassen, eine Alarmmeldung und/oder eine Angabe zur Lage und Größe der Unwucht abgegeben wird.When loading the winding drum (s) an uneven loading of individual winding drum can occur. With an asymmetry of the masses on a winding drum in relation to the axis of rotation imbalance arises, which mechanically loads the drive mechanism. Furthermore, there is a risk of damage to the applied article. If an imbalance due to uneven mass distribution occurs, the arrangement should be shut down in order to balance the wobble drums affected by imbalance. The winding drums can therefore be formed in the interior of the drum core with at least one container for receiving additional weights solid or fluid substances. Preferably, a plurality of distributed over the diameter of containers are installed, which are preferably designed as water tanks. These can be filled and emptied relatively quickly. After balancing the drive mechanism can be immediately restarted. An electronic monitoring of the drives should be designed so that the torques occurring or the electrical power consumption on the drive rollers can be detected by means of an electronic sensor arrangement and in the occurrence of critical quantities of torque or power consumption, which can imply unbalance, an alarm message and / or a Information on the location and size of the imbalance is delivered.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein Ponton in gekürzter Seitenansicht mit mehreren Wickeltrommeln (T1 bis T5) auf dem Deck (Standfläche De) des Pontons 100. Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine entsprechende, gekürzte Draufsicht.The Fig. 1 shows a pontoon in a shortened side view with several winding drums (T1 to T5) on the deck (floor space De) of the pontoon 100th Die Fig. 2 shows a corresponding, shortened plan view.

Die Achsen A der Wickeltrommeln sind bezüglich des Schwerpunkts des Aufbaus in der Längsmitte des Decks positioniert. Die Zahl der Wickeltrommeln bestimmt sich durch die Länge des Pontons, so dass Länge und Fläche des Decks möglichst optimal ausgenutzt sind. Die Wickeltrommeln T1 ... T5 haben jeweils zwei Trommelscheiben (F1', F1") eines einheitlichen Durchmessers. Zwischen den Trommelscheiben ist ein zylindrischer Trommelkern TK vorhanden, auf den der Gegenstand (vorzugsweise ein Seekabel) wickelbar ist. Die Wickeltrommeln T1 ... T5 sind in einer solchen Lage aufgeständert, dass die Achsen A der Wickeltrommeln parallel zur Standfläche De liegen und die Achsen A in einer geraden Linien hintereinander angeordnet sind. Es gibt eine Antriebsvorrichtung für mindestens eine Wickeltrommel T1 ... T3 zum in Drehbewegungsetzen einer Wickeltrommel um ihre Achse. Der Antrieb (Bezugszeichen A1, A2) ist in Fig. 3 zeichnerisch angedeutet.The axes A of the winding drums are positioned with respect to the center of gravity of the structure in the longitudinal center of the deck. The number of winding drums is determined by the length of the pontoon, so that the length and area of the deck are utilized as optimally as possible. The winding drums T1 ... T5 each have two drum disks (F1 ', F1 ") of a uniform diameter, and between the drum disks there is a cylindrical drum core TK on which the object (preferably a submarine cable) can be wound. T5 are elevated in such a position that the axes A of the winding drums are parallel to the standing surface De and the axes A are arranged in a straight line one behind the other There is a driving device for at least one winding drum T1 ... T3 for rotating a winding drum its axis The drive (reference A1, A2) is in Fig. 3 indicated in the drawing.

Auf dem Deck des Pontons befinden sich weitere Aggregate, die für den Betrieb notwendig sind, von denen nicht alle genannt werden müssen. Beispielhaft sollen erwähnt werden: Module M1 bis M3, die für die Energieversorgung, für die Hydraulik, für die Steuerung, für Werkzeug und weitere Funktionen eingerichtet sind. Als Wasserfahrzeug hat der Ponton insbesondere auch Ankerwinden 32.On the deck of the pontoon there are other units that are necessary for the operation, not all of which must be mentioned. Examples include: Modules M1 to M3, which are set up for the power supply, for the hydraulics, for the control, for tools and other functions. As a watercraft, the pontoon also has in particular windlasses 32.

Die Wickeltrommeln werden eine nach dem anderen von einem Elektrokabel beschickt, welches über einen Kabeleinlauf KE (links - am Bug - in der Figur) auf den Ponton verfrachtet wird. Das Elektrokabel wird von der Beschickungseinrichtung übernommen und an eine Laufkatze LK übergeben. An der Laufkatze ist ein Montagearm 40 vorhanden, von dem das Kabel an eine Wickeltrommel geführt wird. Bei Start des Beschickungsvorgangs wird das vordere Kabelende über die auf Schienen Sch laufende Laufkatze LK und über den Montagearm 40 an die erste Wickeltrommel T1 herangeführt. Angedeutet ist der Bewegungsablauf Be der Laufkatze LK mit dem Montagearm 40. Das Elektrokabel wird beginnend mit einer ersten Lage auf dem Trommelkern TK der Start-Wickeltrommel T1 aufgebracht und dann Lage auf Lage weitergewickelt, bis das Aufnahmevermögen der ersten Wickeltrommel erreicht ist. Das Elektrokabel wird dann von der ersten Wickeltrommel zur zweiten Wickeltrommel T2 weitergeführt. Hierbei wird das Elektrokabel durch ein Einfädelfenster EF1' in der rechten Trommelscheibe EF1" (der ersten Wickeltrommel T1) durch ein entsprechendes Einfädelfenster EF2' in der linken Trommelscheibe EF2' der zweiten Wickeltrommel T1 hindurchgeführt. Die Einfädelfenster sind in den Figuren 3 und 4 detailliert dargestellt. Die Einfädelfenster sind durch Einsätze verschließbar, wobei die Radkränze der Trommelscheiben nur in dem Moment des Hindurchfädelns des Kabels - bei Stillstand der Wickeltrommeln - geöffnet werden.The winding drums are fed one by one by an electric cable, which is transported via a cable entry KE (left - at the bow - in the figure) onto the pontoon. The electric cable is taken over by the loading device and transferred to a trolley LK. On the trolley, a mounting arm 40 is provided, from which the cable is guided to a winding drum. At the start of the loading process, the front end of the cable on the rails Sch on running trolley LK and the mounting arm 40 to the first winding drum T1 introduced. The sequence of movements Be of the trolley LK with the mounting arm 40 is indicated. The electric cable is applied beginning with a first layer on the drum core TK of the starting winding drum T1 and then further wound layer upon layer until the capacity of the first winding drum is reached. The electric cable is then continued from the first winding drum to the second winding drum T2. Here, the electric cable is passed through a threading window EF1 'in the right drum pulley EF1 "(the first winding drum T1) through a corresponding threading window EF2' in the left drum pulley EF2 'of the second winding drum T1 FIGS. 3 and 4 shown in detail. The threading windows are closed by inserts, the wheel rims of the drum discs are opened only at the moment of threading the cable - at standstill of the winding drums.

Der Wickelvorgang wird von einer oder mehreren Antriebsvorrichtungen A1, A2 in Gang gehalten. Durch den Übergang des Elektrokabels von der ersten Wickeltrommel zur zweiten Wickeltrommel T2 und weiter von jeder folgenden Wickeltrommel bis in zur letzten Wickeltrommel (T5) ist es zwingend, dass die Wickeltrommeln in synchrone Drehung versetzt werden. Dies kann dadurch realisiert werden, dass jede Wickeltrommel von einem eigenen Antrieb in Drehung versetzt wird und eine elektronische Steuerung eingesetzt wird, die Drehungen aller beteiligten Wickeltrommeln drehsynchron zu gestalten. Die synchrone Drehbewegung der Wickeltrommeln lässt sich auch dadurch erreichen, dass nur eine Wickeltrommel von einem Antrieb beaufschlagt wird, und die Wickeltrommeln untereinander mit Verbindungselementen 20 starr verbunden sind, so dass sie einheitlich dieselbe Rotation vollführen.The winding process is kept in motion by one or more drive devices A1, A2. Due to the transition of the electric cable from the first winding drum to the second winding drum T2 and further from each subsequent winding drum to the last winding drum (T5), it is imperative that the winding drums are placed in synchronous rotation. This can be realized by each winding drum is rotated by its own drive and an electronic control is used to make the rotations of all participating winding drums rotationally synchronized. The synchronous rotational movement of the winding drums can also be achieved in that only one winding drum is acted upon by a drive, and the winding drums are rigidly connected to each other with connecting elements 20, so that they perform uniformly the same rotation.

Die Drehbewegung durch die Antriebsvorrichtung wird beim Abwickelvorgang in der Gegenrichtung eingestellt, wodurch das Abwickeln (und Ausfädeln durch die Einfädelfenster) in umgekehrtem Ablauf wie beim Aufwickeln erfolgt.The rotational movement by the drive device is set in the unwinding process in the opposite direction, whereby the unwinding (and unthreading through the threading window) takes place in reverse sequence as when winding up.

Jede Wickeltrommel T1 ... T5 ist derart aufständert, dass die Radkränze RK1' ... RK3" der Trommelscheiben F1'... F3" auf Rollen (A1) gelagert sind (siehe auch Fig. 3 und 4). Über mindestens einer dieser Rollen soll mindestens eine Wickeltrommel drehend antreibbar sein. Die Rollen A1, A2 dienen der Lagerung, der Führung und dem Antrieb der Radkränze. Es können durchaus mehr als zwei Rollen A1,A2 - beispielsweise bis zu zwölf - vorhanden sein. Die Rollen und die Radkränze können entweder kraftschlüssig oder formschlüssig ineinander greifen. Die Gestaltung eines formschlüssigen Eingriffs kann über eine profilierte Oberfläche von Rolle und Radkranz eingerichtet sein, oder sogar als Verzahnung über Zahnrad (auf der Rolle) und Zahnkranz (auf dem Radkranz) mindestens eines Radkranzes. Eine kraftschlüssige Übermittlung der Drehbewegung kann durch Reibung zwischen Rollen und Radkränzen erreicht werden, wobei Rollen und Radkränze relativ glatte oder leicht profilierte Oberflächen haben. In der Figur sind die Radkränze RK', RK" der Trommelscheiben F1', F2' glattrandig gezeichnet.Each winding drum T1 ... T5 is supported in such a way that the wheel rims RK1 '... RK3 "of the drum disks F1' ... F3" are mounted on rollers (A1) (see also FIG 3 and 4 ). About at least one of these roles, at least one winding drum should be driven to rotate. The rollers A1, A2 are used for storage, guidance and the drive of the wheel rims. There may well be more than two roles A1, A2 - for example, up to twelve. The rollers and the wheel rims can engage either positively or positively. The design of a positive engagement may be arranged on a profiled surface of the roller and the rim, or even as a toothing on gear (on the roller) and ring gear (on the rim) of at least one wheel rim. A frictional transmission of the rotational movement can be achieved by friction between rollers and wheel rims, wherein Rollers and wheel rims have relatively smooth or slightly profiled surfaces. In the figure, the wheel rims RK ', RK "of the drum discs F1', F2 'are drawn smoothly.

Die Figuren 3, 4A und 4B zeigen Einzelheiten an den Wickeltrommeln T1 bis T3. Die erste Wickeltrommel (Starttrommel T1) befindet sich links in der Zeichnung von Fig. 3. Eine letzte Wickeltrommel T3 befindet sich rechts in der Zeichnung. Von letzterer ist nur die linke Trommelscheibe sichtbar. Am linken Radkranz RK2" (bzw. Trommelscheibe) und am rechten Radkranz RK2' (bzw. Trommelscheibe) der zweiten Wickeltrommel T2 ist je ein Einfädelfenster EF2" und EF2' ausgebildet. Am linken Radkranz der dritten Wickeltrommel T3 ist ein Einfädelfenster EF3" zu erkennen. Nicht sichtbar ist ein Einfädelfenster am rechten Radkranz RK1' der ersten Wickeltrommel T1. Die Einfädelfenster sind zur jeweiligen Nachbarwickeltrommel um einen Winkel versetzt. Da die Einfädelfenster am jeweiligen Radkranz eine Lücke oder Öffnung bilden, wäre der Eingriff von Antrieb A1, A2 mit dem jeweiligen Radkranz nicht kontinuierlich möglich. Es ist daher vorgesehen, dass die jeweiligen Einfädelfenster mittels eines Einsatzes EE3' ... EE2" nach dem Durchfädeln des Elektrokabels wieder geschlossen werden. Damit erhalten die Radkränze einen lückenlosen Rand. Ein Einsatz EE1' ... EE2" wird mittels Schrauben oder Klammern am Radkranz RK1' ... RK3" der Trommelscheibe F1' ... F3" gelöst oder befestigt. Die Fig. 4B zeigt den Einsatz EE2" als Einzeldarstellung. Die äußere Oberfläche des Einsatzes EE2" ist ebenso ausgebildet (glatt, profiliert, oder gezahnt) wie die gesamte Oberfläche des Radkranzes.The Figures 3, 4A and 4B show details of the winding drums T1 to T3. The first winding drum (starting drum T1) is located on the left in the drawing of Fig. 3 , A last winding drum T3 is located on the right in the drawing. From the latter, only the left drum disc is visible. On the left wheel rim RK2 "(or drum disc) and on the right wheel rim RK2 '(or drum disc) of the second winding drum T2, a threading window EF2" and EF2' is formed. A threading window EF3 "is not visible on the left wheel rim of the third winding drum T3." The threading windows are offset by an angle to the respective adjacent winding drum If the engagement of drive A1, A2 with the respective rim is not continuously possible, it is therefore envisaged that the respective threading windows are closed again by means of an insert EE3 '... EE2 "after threading through the electric cable. This gives the wheel rims a gapless edge. An insert EE1 '... EE2 "is loosened or fastened by means of screws or clamps on the wheel rim RK1' ... RK3" of the pulley F1 '... F3 " Fig. 4B shows the insert EE2 "as a single illustration The outer surface of the insert EE2" is also formed (smooth, profiled, or serrated) as the entire surface of the rim.

An einer der Innenseiten der Trommelscheiben (F1' ... F3") jeder Wickeltrommel ist eine Ablaufschnecke (S1, S2) vorhanden. Die Ablaufschnecke dient der Führung des Elektrokabels vom Ort der Einfädelung am Einfädelfenster auf den Durchmesser, bzw. die Mantelfläche des Trommelkems hinunter. Die Ablaufschnecke hat eine spiralige Form etwa in der Breite, die dem Durchmesser eines Elektrokabels entspricht. Die Ablaufschnecke beginnt am Einfädelfenster und setzt sich spiralförmig im Radius verjüngend zum Trommelkern fort. Die Ablaufschnecken befinden sich daher an der Trommelscheibe mit Einfädelfenster, durch welches in Richtung des Beschickungsvorgangs (Aufwickeln) des Elektrokabels zuerst hindurchgeführt wird; in den Figuren 1 und 2 also jeweils an der linken Trommelscheibe der zweiten, dritten Wickeltrommel (und so weiter). An der Starttrommel (T1) muss keine Ablaufschnecke vorhanden sein, da das Elektrokabel an der Starttrommel von dem Montagearm 40 der Laufkatze LK direkt auf den Trommelkern geführt wird.A flow screw (S1, S2) is provided on one of the inner sides of the pulley discs (F1 '... F3 ") of each winding drum The flow screw serves to guide the electric cable from the place of threading on the threading window to the diameter, or the outer surface of the drum core The auger has a spiral shape approximately equal in width to the diameter of an electric cable The auger starts at the threading window and continues in a spiraling radius tapering towards the drum core Direction of the charging process (winding) of the electric cable is first passed; Figures 1 and 2 ie in each case on the left drum disc of the second, third winding drum (and so on). At the start drum (T1) no flow screw must be present, since the electric cable is guided on the starting drum of the mounting arm 40 of the trolley LK directly on the drum core.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt eine Wickeltrommel mit im hinteren Drittel entfernter Mantelfläche des Trommelkems TK1. Im geöffneten Bereich der Mantelfläche sind (zum Teil) sieben als Zylinder ausgebildete Behälter WT zur Aufnahme von Zusatzgewichten sichtbar. Die Behälter WT liegen parallel zur Achse A (Symmetrie- oder Zylinderachse) der Wickeltrommel und sind mit Wasser befüllbar. Auf der Vorderseite der Wickeltrommel sind zwischen den Speichen Halter erkennbar, in denen Ventile zur Füllung mit Wasser eingesetzt sind. Die Wickeltrommel wird von dem externen Drehantrieb A1,A2 drehend angetrieben, wie schon in Fig. 3 angedeutet. Zeichnerisch ist nicht dargestellt, dass der Drehantrieb mit einer Sensoreinrichtung ausgestattet ist, die eine Unwucht beim Be- oder Entladen anzeigbar macht, wenn eine Unwucht auftritt.The Fig. 5 shows a winding drum with distant in the rear third lateral surface of the drum core TK1. In the open area of the lateral surface, seven (in part) containers designed as cylinders are visible for receiving additional weights. The containers WT are parallel to the axis A (symmetry or cylinder axis) of the winding drum and are filled with water fillable. On the front of the winding drum holder can be seen between the spokes, in which valves are used to fill with water. The winding drum is rotationally driven by the external rotary drive A1, A2, as already in Fig. 3 indicated. By way of drawing, it is not shown that the rotary drive is equipped with a sensor device which makes an imbalance during loading or unloading displayable when an imbalance occurs.

In der Fig. 6 ist ein System von zwölf Wassertanks WT dargestellt, welches im Innern des Trommelkerns TK untergebracht wird. Die Wassertanks sind untereinander mit einem Gerüst von Tankhaltern TH befestigt. Am Vorderende der Wassertanks WT sind jeweils Füllventile FV erkennbar. Typische Abmessung eines Wassertanks: Länge ca 7,5 m; Durchmesser 30 cm; Füllvolumen ca. 500 cm3, entspricht ca. 500 kg Wassermenge.In the Fig. 6 a system of twelve water tanks WT is shown, which is housed inside the drum core TK. The water tanks are attached to each other with a scaffold of tank holders TH. At the front end of the water tank WT filling valves FV are each recognizable. Typical dimensions of a water tank: length approx 7.5 m; Diameter 30 cm; Filling volume approx. 500 cm 3 , corresponds to approx. 500 kg water quantity.

Die Fig. 7 stellt eine Seitenansicht eines Pontons mit einer weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform dar. Da die synchrone Drehbewegung der Wickeltrommeln während Beschicken und Entnehmen des Elektrokabels notwendig ist, werden in der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 (und Fig. 2) Verbindungselemente 20 zwischen den Wickeltrommeln eingesetzt. Die Ausführungsform nach Fig. 7 ist demgegenüber eine Vereinfachung, als nur eine besonders lange Wickeltrommel TT eingesetzt wird, deren Länge nur von der Länge des Standfläche und der Länge der geforderten, aufzubringenden Kabelmenge bestimmt wird. Die lange Wickeltrommel TT wird durch Stützscheiben SS auf dem Deck gelagert, wo die Radkränze der Stützscheiben auf drehbaren Rollen abgestützt sind. Nach der Fig. 7 ist die Wickeltrommel TT im Muster 1/4-1/4-1/4-1/4 regelmäßig unterteilt. Daher sind auf dem Trommelkern drei Stützscheiben SS vorhanden. Bei einer größeren Länge des Trommelkerns (Abstand der Trommelscheiben F' - F") würde man die regelmäßige Unterteilung mit vier (mit einem Bruchteil 1/5) oder mit fünf Stützscheiben (mit einem Bruchteil 1/6) vornehmen, um die Massen der langen Wickeltrommel TT und des aufgebrachten Kabels abfangen zu können. Die Vorgänge des Beschickens und Entnehmens des Elektrokabels erfolgen nach demselben Schema wie bei der vorab dargestellten Ausführungsform. Daher können die Stützscheiben SS auch mit Einfädelfenstern (und zugehörigen Einsätzen) und Ablaufschnecken versehen sein.The Fig. 7 illustrates a side view of a pontoon with a further embodiment of the invention. Since the synchronous rotational movement of the winding drums during loading and unloading of the electric cable is necessary in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 (and Fig. 2 ) Connecting elements 20 inserted between the winding drums. The embodiment according to Fig. 7 In contrast, a simplification, as only a particularly long winding drum TT is used, whose length is determined only by the length of the base and the length of the required amount of cable to be applied. The long winding drum TT is supported by support disks SS on the deck, where the wheel rims of the support disks are supported on rotatable rollers. After Fig. 7 the winding drum TT is regularly divided in the pattern 1 / 4-1 / 4-1 / 4-1 / 4. Therefore, three support disks SS are present on the drum core. With a larger length of the drum core (distance of the drum disks F '- F ") one would make the regular subdivision with four (with a fraction 1/5) or with five support disks (with a fraction 1/6) to the masses of the long ones The process of loading and unloading the electric cable follows the same pattern as in the previously described embodiment, and therefore, the support plates SS can also be provided with threading windows (and associated inserts) and flow screws.
