Hydraulic system for operation of winches which are associated with powered friction pulleys for hauling the wire, the winch winding a wire onto the drum being provided with valves permitting the friction pulleys to idle freely when it is convenient to use the winch drum proper also for hauling the wire.
Description
~ S35g 1 The present invention relates to a hydraulic system for the operation of winches for various purposes, particularly for maintaining a predetermined tension in wires when used for hauling trawls and mooring of semi submersible platforms for ;
oil well drilling and production.
i ~en used for hauling trawls one winch for each of the two wires will be provided and in order to enable the trawl to work properly, the hydraulic system wi~h which the winch i5 associated is designed to maintain a predetermined tension in each of the wires. Several measures have been provi~ed in order to take various irregular conditions into consideration viz.
when trawling with heavy side currents, trawling in bad weather and under conditions which arise when one of the outer boards ~ becomes stuck or passes obstacles on the bottom of the sea.
; When the winches are used for mooring semi submersible platforms, the tension in the wires is so adjusted that the platform will be located at the correct position independently of heavy weather and winds in one particular direction and one or more wires should be paid out when they are hit for example by drifting icebergs.
me difficulty in the maintenance o a predetermined tension in the wires is caused by the fact that the diameter of a coil of wire and therefore the moment arm acting on the wire will decrease when wire is paid out and again increased when wire is hauled in by being wound on the winch drum. For this reason winches have been combined with power operated friction pulleys which are in direct engagement with the wire and exert the required tension in same, controlled by various means. The friction pulleys are also used for hauling the wire and it is less arduous for the winch drum merely to wind or unwind the wire ,~;, .

1 which is hauled in or paid out by the friction pulleys. The moment arm of the pulleys will at all times be the same and this fact has to a certain extent simplified the design of the hydraulic or mechanical components of the winch.
A disadvantage in the previously known systems is, however that the friction pulleys have a relatively low speed of rotation as there are usually gear trains between the motor or motors which operate the pulleys. This disadvantage is very pronounced when long wire lengths are to be hauled in with little " 10 load on the wires, The object of the present invention is therefore to ; provide a hydraulic system of the kind described in which it is possible to haul in the wire at high speed when required and this is achieved by using the winch and its drum not only for coiling up the wire, but also for hauling in sàme, the friction pulleys then being disconnected hydraulically and, under special ! circumstances also mechanically.
The invention consequently provides a hydraulic system for the operation of winches, each being associated with friction pulleys driven by one or more motors, the winch drum having a separate motor for winding wire hauled in by the friction pulleys and comprising valves for the control of the operation of the motors and the invention is characterized in that the hydraulic system is proviaed with valves for disconnection of the motors for the friction pulleys and for transfer of the available hydraulic driving medium to the motor of the winch drum. Other features and details claimed in the claims will be evident from the following description with reference to the drawing which shows a circuit diagram for a hydraulic system accordiny to the invention.

1 On the drawing the hydraulic circuit is designed for ; two winches which could be the port and starboard winches on a trawler or two o~ several winches used for mooring a semi submersible platform. Three pumps la, lb and lc (la', lb' and lc') for each winch can be driven by diesel engines or electric motors and as an alternative the pumps la (la')can be driven by a main diesel engine and the pumps lb and lc (lb' and lc') may be driven by an auxiliary diesel engine or an electric motor.
A manoeuvering valve 3 (3') controls the delivery of oil from the pumps la and lb (la' and lb') to and from the hydraulic motors 2a and 2b and 2c or 2d (2a', 2b' and 2c' or 2d').
The pumps la, lb and la', lb' can be in continuous operation. It is however possible to load one pump or the other for each winch or both may be loaded simultaneously. When an electromagnetic valve 90, 90' is supplied with electricity it will be held in open position as shown and the safety valve lla, l'la' will then be drained and relieve the pump la, la'.
When the electricity is cut off from the valve 90, 90' it will by a spring be moved to closed position, opposite to what is shown on the drawing and the pump la, la' may then be loaded as the safety valve lla, lla' will open only in response to a predetermined permissible maximum pressure.
The pump lb, lb' for each of the winches is connected in the same way by letting an electromagnetic valve 70b, 70b' control the valve llb, llb' when the pumps are to be relieved or loaded. The valve llb, llb' is also adjusted to open when acted upon by a predetermined allowed maximum pressure.
The valves 90, 90' and 70b, 70b' are controlled by a counter 32, 32' but they may also be adjusted manually so that an operator can choose the load on the various pumps.
` ll~S3S9 .
1 It is also evident from the drawing that when said valve 70b, 70b' is in open position as shown, the valve llb, llb' can be controlled by an adjustable pilot valve 80b, 80b'. By adjusting the valve 80b, 80b', preferably by remote control, the - load on the pump lb, lb' can be adjusted continuously from approximately unloaded condition to full maximum load.
The valve 80b, 80b' is particularly useful when the -pump lb, lb' is used for compensation of creep or leakage in the winch motors. The valve 80b, 80b' can then be set to a pressure which, when the valves 3, 3', are in the position shown, will cause for example the motors, 2b, 2b', 2c, 2c', 2a, and 2a' to exert a torque which counterbalances the torque exerted by the tension in the wires.
When the wire is to be hauled in, the friction pulley 50, 50' is brought into operation and the associated storage - winch 51, 51' will rotate and collect the wire by winding same onto the winch drum 52, 52'. When this work is to be carried out, a valve 40 is moved to the opposite position of that when open on the drawing, and a valve 41 will as shown convey the delivery from one or pumps la, la', lb, lb' through the manoeuver-ing valve 3, 3' via step valves 21b, 21b' and 21c, 21c', to both motors 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c'. The motors drive the pulleys 37, 37' by means of a gear transmission and intermediate gears 36, 36' and mechanical couplings 60, 60'.
The ~riction pulleys 50, 50' wiil haul in a wire with high power in relation to the storage winch 51, 51' which winds the wire onto the drum 52, 52' with a suitable tension.
The motor 2a, 2a' of the winches can therefore be directly coupled with the winch drum 52, 52' without gearing. The motor 2a, 2a' has a pressure conduit in common with the motors 2b, 2b' ~, ..-.~ I ' .e~
~ ~ ` ,?
11~5359 1 and 2c, 2c' and is supplied with pressurized oil through a check valve 43, 43' and step valve 21a, 21a'. The motors have in the examples shown two chambers.
If the load on the wire is very small, the speed of the friction pulleys may be unduly slow and according to the invention it is possible to disconnect the friction pulley unit and let the winch 51, 51' do the hauling in, in addition to winding the wire for storage.
This can be done by moving the step valve 21c, 21c' to a position opposite to that shown. This will disconnect the motor 2c, 2c' hydraulically. At the same time the step valve 21a, 21a' may be moved to a position opposite to that shown and this will disconnect one chamber in the motor 2a, 2a'.
Thereby the pulling power will be reduced to one half and the speed of the wire will be doubled.
By moving the step valve 21b, 21b' to the opposite position, while the step valves 21a, 21a' remain in the position shown, both motors 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c' are disconnected hydraulic-ally so that the delivery from the pump is transferred to both chambers of the motors 2a, 2a'. As these motors are directly connected to the winch drums 52, 52' the two wires would be hauled in with high speed but low pulling power.
To prevent the motors 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c' from rotating at excessive speed in this situation it is also possible to disconnect said motors mechanically by means of couplings 60, 60'.
By moving both step valves 21b, 21b' and 21a, 21a' to a position opposite to that shown on the drawing the pump delivery will take place to one chamber of the motor 2a, 2a' whereby the speed of rotation is doubled once more.
; .
.
1 Paying out of slack wire is possible by moving the manoeuvering. valve 3 from position C to position B. When the :: step valve 21b, 21b' is in the position shown and the step valves 21c, 21c' and 21a, 21a' are in the position opposite to that shown on the drawing, the pump delivery is conveyed to the motor 2b, 2b' which is one of the motors for the.friction pulleys. The motor and the pulleys are driven counterclockwise so that when wire is paid out the motor 2c, 2c' is short circuited on the pressure side and therefore hydraulically disconnected. The motor 2a, 2a' for each of the winches is brought into rotation by the wire which is being paid out and the check valve 43 will close. Oil from the motor 2a, 2a' and the pump lc, lc' flows through the valve 6c, 6c'.
When wire is to be paid out under load, the manoeuvering valve 3, 3' is moved from stop position C to position B. The delivery from the pump flows through the manoeuvering. valve 3, 3' and the step valves 21b, 21bi and 21c, 21c', said valves being in the position shown and the motors 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c' will then rotate counterclockwise.
When the manoeuvering valve 3, 3' is in the end position B
the motors 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c' will be driven by the load as pumps, delivering oil under pressure to the pressure reducing valve 4, 4'. The valves 4, 4' will restrict the quantity of oil corresponding to the pump delivery from the pumps la, la' and/or lb, lb'. Further a variable quantity of oil will flow thraugh the valve 6a, 6a' which on the drawing is an adjustable overflow valve. The load can thereby be lowered with a speed which is independent of the oil delivery from the pumps la, la' and/or lb, lb'. The valves 6a, 6a' and 6b, 6b' can be manually adjusted or they can be adjusted by the manoeuvering valve 3, 3' llClS359 in such a manner that minimum braking torque is obtained with ~ the valve 3, 3' in end position B and miximum braking torque - is obtained in the center position C.
~` It is evident from the drawing, that the motors of the friction pulleys, for example the friction pulley 50 at the lower part of the circuit diagram on the drawing is supplied with oil from the pumps la, lb through the manoeuvering valve 3, but the delivery from the pumps la' and lb' can also -be supplied to the friction pulley 50 by means of the manoeuvering valves 3' and thè valve 40. The energy supplied to the motors of the friction pulley 50 will then be doubled and consequently the wire speed will also be doubled since the rotational speed for the motors 2a, 2b and 2c is twice the usual speed. The valves 21a, 21b and 21c, 21d, 40 and~21d' must then be in the position shown while the valve 21b' is in the opposite position. It may then be required to prevent the winch 51' from rotating, for example by means of a brake during the time all the energy in the system is supplied to the motors 2b, 2c of the friction pulley 50.
The hydraulic system shown is symmetrical in that it is possible to convey all the available energy when required, to the motors 2b', 2c' while the winch 51 and the friction pulley 50 remains stationary.
Further it is possible to connect the friction pulleys 50, 50' mechanically by means of a mechanical coupling 61.
For example the friction pulley 50 may then be driven by the four motors 2b', 2c', 2b and 2c and as they are two-chamber motors the speed of rotation can be adjusted hydraulically by adjusting the number of motor chambers in operation.
The pulling power of the friction pulley 50 will then .
~ j . ., ~.. : .
1 be twice the pulling power when driven by two motors, but of course this leaves no power for the friction pulley 50'.
;~ Due to leakage which can not be avoided in the - motors for the friction pulleys and the winches, they will creep when the wires are under load and the valves are closed to arrest the wires in the desired position. To avoid the effects of creeping a creep compensating pump lc, lc' i5 provlded for each of the winches. The pump lc, lc' is able to deliver an oil quantity which is larger than the internal leakage in the motor 2a, 2a'. The pump lc, lc' is continuously delivering oil to the motor 2a, 2a' through a valve 42, 42' and creates a -pressure-which will close the valve 43, 43'. The pressure is limited by the valve 6c, 6c' and is counterbalanced by the spring in the valve 6c, 6c' plus the control pressure from the pressure sidè of the motor 2b, 2b' and 2c, 2c'. In this way the pump lc, lc' will create a pressure slightly above the pressure in the motors 2b, 2b', 2c, 2c'.
The example shown will only serve to illustrate the . .
invention and the protection offered by this patent is not limited other than by the appended claims.
