Description
- The present invention relates to a cable braking and backward tension device and in particular to a device for providing a braking and backwards pulling force to an advancing cable for linear position sensors for self-propelled robots.
- A cable on a spool commonly has been used for a precision measurement of a self-propelled robot position. Usually the spool is attached to a stand and the free end of the cable to the robot. When the robot moves away from the stand the cable unwinds from the spool and by measuring the length of the unwound cable the distance from the stand to the robot can be measured. The cable length may be measured by measuring the rotation angle of the spool.
- Such a device may further comprise an angle sensor to determine the robot's position on a plane, or two angular sensors if the robot position needs to be determined in space.
- It is important when measuring the robot position to keep the cable under permanent but a relatively small tension, because strong cable tension may influence the robot movement whereas too small tension may increase the measurement error. It is also important that the tension is strong enough to prevent the cable from touching the ground. Finally, the tension should be adjusted during the robot movement to prevent cable from sagging and jerking.
- In case of linear disposition measurements under relatively small cable tension forces, which are specific for measurements like small size mobile robot position, the measurement precision becomes very much dependent on the length of the cable advanced from the spool due to sag caused by its own mass. To compensate for this error, the cable tension should be controlled with a high precision and according to complex rules.
- As measuring the position of different types of robots may require different cable tensions, it is desirable that the cable tension setting could be changed electronically without disassembling the measurement device.
- Traditionally in such measuring devices a coil spring is used for the cable tension and backtracking.
- For example, the
U.S. patent No. 5,236,144 discloses a cable extension linear position transducer, where a spool is attached to a spring providing a tension force to the cable. This solution enables to prevent formation of the cable curvature. This device has the following disadvantages. First is an uncontrollable non-linear character of the provided tensions force, which is the function only of length of the cable advanced from the spool. Thereby the device cannot respond to fast sudden changes in measuring distance that may cause unwanted curvature of the cable and errors in measurements. Second is inability to change the spring without disassembling the device. While the device itself might be used under different measuring setups, the tensions force cannot be adjusted without mechanical change of the spring. - A cable braking device is disclosed in the patent
EP 0440246 B1 , which provides two stage breaks: a mechanical and eddy current brakes. Both are motion dependant, which means that the applied breaking force and the resulting cable tension force is a function of the cable advancing speed. This braking device is universally applicable for any cable, which is pulled out from the spool. The main disadvantage of this device is its cable tension force, which depends on the spool rotation speed. It means that, while the cable is advanced slowly, the cable tension force is low. - The
U.S. patent No. 6,543,152 describes a measuring cable travel sensor that includes a housing accommodating a measuring cable drum and a rotary spring urging the cable drum in the direction of winding a measuring cable thereon. Several braking magnets are arranged on the housing to provide for magnetic control of the rotary movement. An eddy current produced in the drum prevents an excessive acceleration of the cable drum. However, during the measuring process when the cable has to be pulled back to spool, the provided tension is not enough and thus causes cable to curve, which consequently causes the decrease of measurement precision. Therefore, apart from having additional protection from excessive acceleration of the cable drum this sensor does not provide any substantial improvement over a traditional spring powered sensors. - The patent application
GB 795 085 A - As the magnet rotates magnetic lines of force from the magnet cut the metal currier and generate eddy currents, the magnetic field associated with which reacts with the field due to the magnet to produce a torque tending to reduce the relative motion between the magnet and the carrier.
- This apparatus is capable of producing a constant tension in a moving wire when the wire is pulled out from the carrier.
-
US 7 331 436 B1 discloses a self-propelled robot position measuring apparatus comprising a cable braking and backward tension device for providing a braking and backward pulling force to a cable. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a cable braking and backward tension device that can provide permanent but a relatively small tension on the measuring cable. It is the other object of the invention to provide the cable tension strong enough to prevent the cable from touching the ground. It is another object of the invention to provide a device in which the cable tension could be adjusted during the robot movement to prevent cable from sagging and jerking.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a device capable to provide a changeable cable tension force without disassembling the device.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a device capable by using a controller to implement specific tension force control rules to adjust the cable tension force depending on length of the cable advanced from the spool even when the cable stands still.
- It is still further object of the invention to provide a device capable to function as a spool brake, which operates such that, when the cable is rapidly advanced away from the spool the cable tension force increases without involving a controller.
- The above objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved through the apparatus according to
claim 1. - In the present invention there is only one braking and backward pulling arrangement consisting of a cable spool, a brake disk with permanent magnets attached to it and an actuator, which can rotate the brake disk in relation to the spool with variable rotation speed. The spool is made of paramagnetic material. Such a solution allows controlling of the cable tensions force through control of the brake disk rotation speed relative to the spool rotation speed. When the brake disk with the attached permanent magnets rotates relative to the spool, eddy currents are generated in the spool, thereby producing a movement dependant moment. While the brake disk rotates in the opposite direction to the cable advancing direction, the generated eddy current produces a drug force in the opposite direction to the spool rotation direction. The produced drug force causes a constant tension of the cable. In case of a sudden increase of the spool rotation speed, the drug force increases accordingly, thereby providing brake functionality.
- The most useful advantage of the proposed device is a possibility to provide constantly adjusting the drug forces and, as a consequence, the cable tension.
- Another useful advantage of the proposed device is a possibility to set the level of drug forces and, as a consequence, the cable tension, tailoring it to particular usage modes.
- In the present application, the term "cable" is intended to encompass all linear structures, such as wires, yams, bands, strands, ropes and the like.

Figure 2 is a schematic view of a device embodying the current invention andFigure 3 is the same device as inFigure 2 shown in a partial section revealing the inner construction of the device. - In the embodiment presented in
Figure 2 andFigure 3 thespool position sensor 1 is attached to thedevice stand 2. Thespool 3 is mounted on ashaft 8, which is supported for free rotation in relation to thestand 2. On thesame shaft 8, thespool position sensor 1 is attached, which can be used to determine the length of thecable 4 advanced from thespool 3. Thebrake disk 5 is supported by anothershaft 9. Theactuator 6 is also supported by theshaft 9, which allows the actuator to rotate thebrake disk 5 at a speed set by aspeed controller 10. Theshafts brake disk 5 andspool 3 to rotate with any speed difference relative to each other. A set ofpermanent magnets 7 is attached to thebrake disk 5, which in case of relative speed difference between thebrake disk 5 and thespool 3 that is made of ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material generates eddy currents in thespool 3. The generated in thespool 3 eddy currents provide a force that affects thespool 3 rotation in the same direction as thebreak disk 5 rotates. As a consequence, if theactuator 6 rotates in the opposite direction of the cable advancing direction, then it produces a substantially unchanging tension of thecable 4. Thereby thecable 4, which is coiled on thespool 3, can be advanced out of the spool or wound into the spool using only the produced tension force. As the rotation speed of thebrake disk 5 increases relatively to thespool 3, the tension force of thecable 4 is increased accordingly. This effect provides means to react on a sudden increase of thecable 4 advancing speed in a way thatbrake disk 5 rotation speed relative to thespool 3 rotation speed increases accordingly and thereby increases generated tension force of thecable 4 acting as a brake preventing thecable 4 from fouling. The generatedcable 4 tension force may be adjusted to particular measuring environments by adjustingactuator 6 rotation speed. It is done by thetension force controller 10 providing control signals to theactuator 6 throughcontrol lines 11. - The electrical schematic diagram of the same embodiment is presented in
Figure 4 . As shown in the scheme, theactuator 6, which is in this embodiment a direct current motor with permanent magnets in its stator, through thetorque transfer device 12, is coupled to thespool 3. Thetorque transfer device 12 is an eddy current clutch formed by thebrake disk 5 and thespool 3. The length of thecable 4 advanced from thespool 3 is determined by thesensor 1, which submits the length data to thetension force controller 10 through thesignal line 13. Thetension force controller 10, using the data about the length ofadvanced cable 4, adjusts the rotation speed of theactuator 6 through thecontrol connections 11. Thereby thecable 4, which is coiled on thespool 3, can be advanced out of the spool or pulled into the spool only using the produced tension force. As the rotation speed of theactuator 6 increases the tension force produced by the eddy current clutch 12 on thecable 4 is increased accordingly. - The importance of the measurement cable tension control may be demonstrated by the following example.
- Some linear position measurements, for example measuring position of a small size mobile robot, should be made under relatively small cable tension forces, in that circumstances the measurement precision becomes very much dependent on the length of the cable advanced from the spool due to sag caused by its own mass. The dependence rule in general case is depicted in
Figure 1 showing the measurement error ω as a function of the measuring distance I. The rule is driven from the catenary equation: - In order to decrease the error component in measurement the tension force might be adjusted according to the tension force control rule, which minimises F:
- This technical solution allows to achieve the following positive effects:
- 1) The
tension force controller 10 applying the tension forces control rule provides means for compensation of the cable sag during the measurements; - 2) In case of a sudden increase of the
cable 4 advancing speed, theeddy current clutch 12 due to its working principles provides an additional tension force to thecable 4 acting as a braking device; - 3) Due to lack of any kind of direct gearing between the
spool 3 and theactuator 6 the smooth tension force change is ensured. - The device embodying the current invention may be advantageously applied, for example, in the following application domains:
- 1) High precision position measurements of moving objects with relatively small mass like mobile robotic devices, where the cable tension force, its smoothness and dynamic change influences the actual measured values;
- 2) Signal cable tension devices, where relatively small tension forces may be applied due to cable design specifics in order to avoid its physical damage.
