The motor is guided with respect to its height and lateral position relative to the container. It can be inserted into the container at an oblique downward angle, then in the opposite direction, and the angle between the thrusts measured and used to control the first thrust. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.

Description

The invention relates to a method for inserting and / or Ent take cables or other windable strand-like Objects in or out of containers, especially in Tanks, pans or on plates. The invention also relates to a device with a container for receiving a cable or another windable strand-like object, especially with a tank, a pan, a plate and with Means for feeding the cable to the container.

Cables, such as submarine cables or other types of cables have a length or a piece weight (mass) that a Winding on cable drums makes it almost impossible. The location instead takes place in fixed, especially in the  Earth-embedded tanks or rotating tanks that too are called pans. In some cases, the Tanks flooded with water after laying.

Tanks are in accordance with the winding of the cable and pans drum-shaped with a circular disc shaped bottom, usually an upright revolving um catch wall, an open top and preferably one vertically directed centerpiece, due to its area the maximum permissible cable curvature no cable from anyway cut can come to rest. Pans without an outer wall also called a plate. The individual cables can be for example with a diameter of 6 to 30 mm a length of 400 km. It is particularly extru dated cables or cables stranded as an intermediate product. As the end product with multi-colored plastic yarn are also possible Lich. The laying speed is about 10 to 100 meters per minute. The laying of cables with different diameters and laying speeds are possible.

Inserting and laying out the cables in the containers will also referred to as shooting in and out. So far, this has been done manually ell. The laying is complicated by the momentum of the Cable. In standing tanks there is an additional turning effect on. The object of the present invention is to close the process automate.

According to the invention the object is achieved in that the cable guided outside the container and with a defined motor Feed is inserted into the container. The insertion or The cable can be removed automatically. For the Ent the motor feed is reversible. Is conceivable also a separate grant located on a distant Place.  

When using fixed tanks, the cable can be run through a rotating boom are guided. When using a ro tanks, a pan, is a rotating boom not mandatory. The easiest is to use a rigid boom a guide for the cable or a corresponding bridge above the pan.

The cable is attached to the bracket (at the bridge) High altitude and its lateral position. Can also take a tour with regard to the cable angle with respect to a tangent of the Be be provided. The height adjustment can also be in the loading a support column for the boom or for the bridge be performed. The lateral adjustment (Radius adjustment) can be done on a rider or sledge Carrying device - jib or bridge. The angles can be adjusted as one of the boom or the bridge outgoing and adjustable pendulum arm.

The cable can be fed into the container centrally, off-center or tangential. Especially in connection with fest standing tanks, a central inlet is an advantage. A tan potential inlet is particularly in connection with plates advantageous.

The cable comes in a chaotic arrangement or ring in the container to lie on ring and layer on layer. The latter type the laying requires a little more effort however the highest packing density. The cables are on the outside diameter of the container starting, helical, ring on Ring inwards to the core and from here in the next layer ring routed to the outside of the ring. This process repeats situation for layer until the container is filled or the layer ends is. Stripes are sometimes formed between the individual layers Intermediate layers inserted.  

The chaotic laying is easier, with something ge lower packing density. The cables will be circular or elliptical shot chaotically. Also one across the width os zillizing shooting is possible. The surface pressure the crossing points of the cables is at the appropriate cable con structure not critical. After chaotic laying, this can happen Tighten the cable to the core when conveying it out of the tank or several rings can be pulled up at the same time. Before monitoring by suitable sensors is advantageous provided so that damage to the cable can be avoided can.

The cable is fed at least via a drive, the near the support device - boom or bridge - arranged is net and which can be, for example, a train caterpillar in which a section of the cable is clamped between two conveyor runs and is conveyed at a defined speed. Before preferably the feed device - also as a carrier referred to - between the carrier and the storage of Cable arranged in the container.

In addition to the cable feed device described a second drive for the cable is available. This second before pusher is upstream of the support device organizes and ensures an even supply of ge wanted cable lengths. The second feed device is strong tiger than the first mentioned institution. The latter is thereby relieves and worries primarily for the owner Liche insertion process and required for a precisely fitting insertion feed.

The cable has a certain inherent rigidity. The writhing of the cable is therefore only possible within limits. The ge current curvature as a measure of certain relative speeds suitable between the individual feed devices net. So the first feed device - the tractor -  a scanner for the position of the cable nachordord net.

The corresponding runs in the area of the feed device Drain at an angle, that is at an angle to the vertical. in the The cable comes naturally in the tank or in the rotating pan to lie horizontally. Between the oblique cable cut and the horizontal orientation in the rotating Pan occurs a transition that depends on the speed of rotation of the pan on the one hand and the cable front on the other hand, extended rather stretched or more arch-shaped falls. The scanning device for the cable is a so-called Dancer and detects exactly this change in the cable position (arch shape or straight form). Based on the scanning result is one Speed control of the rotating pan possible.

In an analogous manner, a dancer upstream of the first front thrust device (the tractor) can be arranged. Whose ab keying result can be the regulation of the first feed device to serve.

The cables can be shot in and / or out by special means Handling systems take place, for example an articulated arm robot, this can stand on the core in the center of the container. Of the Robot must be designed so that - with a fixed tank - Can make thousands of revolutions in one direction. A portal robot is advantageously provided. This has four axes and is supported outside the container from. An endless number of rotations is possible around the fourth axis Lich.

The respective handling system is for the respective container movable, for example on rails and centerable there. Centering is possible using a mechanical lock with the container or, for example, by tracing the contour of the container, for example by scanning the outside, inside and bottom  contour, including detection of eccentricities, as well Outside and core diameter. The data obtained in this way can be taken into account when laying the cable. Also can the scanning results to lock the container for the further use. The data obtained are stored in a corresponding data processing is saved.

A cantilever arm or guide arm presses the cable in the container to the previously relocated location. For this, the guide arm with egg provided with a special hold-down device. This runs the Füh low in drag by up to 3 meters and prevents with one adjustable force exiting the cable from its position. Of the The guide arm or installation arm is held so that it can swing - ins especially with rotating pans - the innermost and outermost Cable rings can also be laid well. In addition, the Lay an easy-to-change tip on to accommodate this To be able to adjust cable diameters quickly and at any given time if wear parts can be changed quickly. The summit is similar to a nozzle and can depend on the diameter and Stiffness of the product may be different.

The cables and the container are in through suitable sensors monitored and scanned several times. Already when you put it down Corresponding sensors of the cable are active and if necessary parameters such as tensile strength and speed of the cable automatically optimized. This is possible, for example, through so-called dancers, with which the angle of the cable directly is recorded and further processed in the container before being deposited. It is also possible to monitor the current consumption, in particular with the robot arm rotating and the tank at a standstill. With ge Suitable sensors can rotate the container too high or too low pay or laying speeds due to the location of the Ka bels or the tensile force can be detected on the same.

Furthermore there are sensors for monitoring the in the container inserted cable provided, such as a camera on the front  last axis of the handling system. This will change the location of the installed cable checked or the cable surface removed gropes. Based on the determined data (the already installed cables) Corrections during the installation process, such as Ver laying speed and direction.

The installation arm or the handling system can be installed after installation a layer can be raised automatically. Also here are ge suitable sensors arranged. It is then raised by a height corresponding to the cable diameter. Also before the continuous scanning or detection of the Ka is partial diameter and a suitable laying of the cable, such as determining the laying slope.

Finally, the installation profile is monitored and scanned. This makes it possible for the guide arm or the manipulator gate can follow a wavy container bottom with the cable.

The device is preferably for insertion and / or removal of cables can be moved independently of the respective container and thus as a mobile unit, for example with a turntable, a Fume cupboard, a laying device and a control formed, the control via a dancer or a Conductance can take place. The dancers are on the cable type (Diameter, bending radius) matched.

The device according to the invention is automatic Control. This is learnable or programmable. Through a monitoring system or the one already specified spoken sensors is a fine correction of the robot controller possible. There are settings for various in the control Cable types saved. The control also includes Pro Gram to remove the cables from the container including any intermediate layers.  

In the core or a middle piece of the container sits Liner dispenser attached to a vertical axis of the robot can be coupled and so has the correct height. The liner is made in several after the completion of a layer Blown strips from the core to the outermost layer. When moving out of the cable from the container, the strips are drawn in again gene.

Finally, the control has an emergency program. This he possible to change the current production to manual Business. The laying arm is moved into one position that enables or does not interfere with manual operation.

According to a special embodiment of the invention the laying of the cable is free to move in the tank or mobile robots, such as a small caterpillar vehicle a central energy supply. This is particularly the case with thin and light cables with low inherent rigidity possible Lich.

Fig. 19 shows a device for laying a cable on a plate.

The invention is first explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Shown as a container for receiving a cable 30 is a stationary tank 31 , which is designed to be rotationally symmetrical, with a flat, circular disk-shaped bottom side 32 , a circumferential wall 33 on the right, circumferential wall 33 and a center piece 34 that tapers conically from bottom to top. The tank 31 is open at the top. Accordingly, the cable is inserted from above. The cable 30 comes to lie on the bottom side 32 in layers, more or less ordered. The center piece 34 fills a central area of the tank 31 , in which due to the limited curvature of the cable 30 no cable can be located anyway.

The cable 30 is fed centrally to the tank 31 , Näm Lich along a central axis 35 , which also marks the center of the center piece 34 . Slight deviations are possible.

The supply takes place first along a horizontal conveyor path 36 , around a deflection roller 37 and from this along the central axis 35 between two guide elements 38 , 39 therethrough.

To insert the cable into the tank 31 and as a support device, a rotating boom 40 is provided which is rotatably mounted about the central axis 35 and which carries various guide devices for the cable 30 . First of all, this includes a radius adjustment unit 41 which can be moved in the radial direction by a motor on the arm 40 in the manner of a slide. A corresponding electric motor 42 can be seen in FIG. 2. The boom 40 can be designed as a manipulator.

The radius adjustment unit 41 carries a guide 43 for the cable 30 . The guide 43 is moved in the radial direction with the radius adjustment unit 41 .

Part of the guide 43 is a Höhenver adjusting unit 44 , not shown, with which the guide 43 is movable relative to the bottom side 32 .

The various adjustment units can also be represented by a manipulator, for example a robot arm. Part of the guide 43 is also a conveyor 45 , which is a first feed device for the cable and is preferably designed as a tractor before. The cable feed into the tank 31 takes place via the conveyor 45 . So that the conveyor 45 can be relatively small and compact, the cable 30 is also conveyed upstream above the boom 40 by a second feed device, for example in the region of the conveyor section 36 or the deflection roller 37 .

The guide 43 is ge starting from the boom 40 directed obliquely downward, with an angle to the vertical of about 30 °. Deviations from this are naturally possible.

For storing the cable 30 on the bottom side 32 or on existing layers, the cable 30 is guided in a small arc by a guide end piece 46 connected to the conveyor 45 .

In an analogous manner, the cable 30 leads between the guide elements 38 , 39 and the radius adjustment unit 41 in arcs. In particular, the radius adjustment unit 41 is preceded by a guide starting piece 47 , which is part of the guide 43 .

The boom 40 is motor-driven in a manner not shown. A corresponding motor can be provided in the upright column 48 arranged in the middle 34 , which receives a corresponding axis 49 of the boom 40 .

In the area of the guide start piece 47 , the carrier 45 and the guide end piece 46 , the cable 30 is guided by various roles. In addition, the carrier in the training as a crawler track opposite För dertrums, between which the cable 30 is held and conveyed.

The various drives of the conveying devices, the height adjustment unit 44 and the radius adjustment unit 41 are so regulated that the cable 30 is placed in the tank 31 in an orderly manner, in the present case starting from the bottom outside, spiraling further from the outside to the inside, in the second position from the inside outwards and in the third position again from the outside inwards to the position shown in FIG. 1. The adjustment of the adjusters 41 , 44 can follow it continuously or step by step.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show another embodiment of he invention. The boom 40 is rigidly connected to the pillar 48 here. The relative movement between the cable feed and the cable supply is achieved by rotating the container. This is therefore not a fixed tank, but a so-called pan 50 . The container bottom 32 is supported on a pivot bearing 51 . The column 48 ends with a reinforced foot 52 below the base 32 on a foundation 53 . As in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cable 30 is fed centrally along the central axis 35 here . The entry into the container takes place if the starting guide piece 47 and the Radienver adjusting unit 41st Their movement possibilities are indicated by the horizontal double arrow 54 . The movement of the height adjustment unit 44 is represented by the vertical arrow 55 in FIG . Due to the comparison with FIG. 3 at 90 ° offset side view in FIG. 4, the double arrow is there directed obliquely 55th This oblique orientation corresponds to the position of the cable feed between the guide piece 47 and the guide end piece 46 , in particular in the region of the conveyor 45 (first feed).

A modification as compared with FIGS. 3 and 4, Figs. 5 and 6. The cable inlet is provided tangentially. The particular advantage of the tangential inlet is the avoidance of twisting of the cable when shooting into a rigid container.

A modification with respect to Figs. 3 to 4 show also Figs. 7 and 8. In are central inlet of the cable 30 both the container 50 as the boom 40 for rotation. One advantage is the possibility of particularly rapid cable feeding by combining counter-rotating movements.

FIGS. 9 and 10 relate to a variant of the embodiment in FIGS. 5 and 6. The cable supply is also tangen TiAl. Analogous to FIG. 7, boom 40 and container 50 are capable of rotation.

Finally, a special feature is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. Instead of a boom 40 , a rigid bridge 56 is seen here, which extends across the entire container 50 and two supporting columns 57 , 58 standing outside the container, as well as connecting the columns Traverse 59 has. The container is in turn rotating. The conveyed material runs in tangentially. The principle of the "bridge" is also possible and usable in conjunction with the other embodiments. In an embodiment not shown, the bridge can also be moved transversely to the central axis 35 and transversely to the cross member 59 . For example, the columns 57 , 58 can be moved by motor on rails. Also horizontally oriented rails can be provided in a corresponding frame at the level of the cross member 59 .

FIGS. 13a to 14 also show a special embodiment . A bridge 60 with a traverse 61 is provided here as a carrying device for shooting the cable 30 into the container 50 , the bridge being adjustable in height on one side on a column 62 and central with respect to the container 50 is supported on a column 63 outside the container. The container 50 is designed as a rotating pan. The cable is fed tangentially. Radius adjustment unit 41 and carrier 45 are integrated here in a block 64 and can be displaced along the cross member 61 parallel to the radial direction. The drive for the conveyor 45 or for the tractor is regulated as well as the drive of the container. For this purpose, the curvature of the cable 30 is detected at two points, namely once above the conveyor 45 and a second time below it. So-called dancers are provided for this purpose. A first dancer 65 senses the curvature of the cable 30 above the conveyor 45 . The cable 30 is fed along the conveyor path 36 at a constant speed. The conveyor machine 45 pulls the cable into the container. If the train speed is too slow, a larger cable arch 66 is set , so that dancer rollers 67 in Fig. 13b deflect to the right. If the feed speed is too high, the dancer rolls 67 move in opposite directions. The resulting position of the dancer 65 is registered and processed for the speed control of the carrier 45 . In an analogous manner, a dancer 68 is arranged below the carrying device or bridge 60 . The cable 30 is guided in this area in a tube or between rings. The dancer lies on the tube or on the rings. Its angular position indicates whether the container speed is harmonized with the feed of the cable. If the container speed is too high, there is a greater tensile force on the cable and thus a deflection of the dancer 68 in FIG. 13b to the right, see arrow 69 . The container speed must then be reduced until the desired dancer position is found.

The cable 30 should be placed as precisely as possible on the container bottom 32 or on the layers already present. The cable guide therefore extends far into the container with the guide end piece 46 . Associated with the guide end piece 46 is a detector for determining the fill level of the container, shown in FIG. 13b as a support wheel 70 . This is like the dancers 65 , 68 be mounted movably. The movement deflection is a measure of the fill level of the container and is used to adjust a telescopic cable guide 71 below the bridge 61 . It is important that the guide end piece 46 maintains a constant distance from the ground. This ensures a constant curvature and a constant pressure of the cable 30 on the ground.

The cable is stored in the container according to FIG. 14 in a chaotic arrangement. A precise location is also possible.

A modification of the height adjustment is shown in FIG. 15. As a supporting device, an outward-facing layer 72 is provided here, which carries the block 64 which can be moved parallel to the radial direction. A movable runner 73 is provided as a detector for the fill level monitoring. The height adjustment is not carried out via a telescopic cable guide, but through a height adjustment of the arm 72 . This is vertically movable on two upright columns 74 , 75 . A device 76 for monitoring the cable surface is assigned to block 64 . To complement the function of the runner 73, the container fill level and the order of the deposited cables can be detected. After feedback with the monitoring device 76, the transverse movement of the block 64 can also be controlled.

Finally, FIGS. 16 to 17b also show a special feature. Here is a block 64 with cable guide 71 and oscillating laying arm 78 is provided on an outside of the container Ausle ger 77 .

The laying arm 78 is articulated on the block 64 and can be moved in a motor-oscillating manner in an inclined plane, see double arrow 79 . The container rotates again. Through the pendulum movement, a transverse movement of the guide end piece 46 or the cable to be stored in the container can be achieved in a simple manner. This can be used for a wave-shaped storage of the cable in the container and to replace the radial adjustment. In Fig. 16, a radius adjustment unit 41 is nevertheless provided, see also double arrow 80 .

A height adjustment of the block 64 is also provided by raising or lowering the arm 77 on two upright columns 74 , 75 . An operating console is also assigned to these as a control station 80 , see to the right of the right column 75 .

Figs. 17a and 17b show the different possibilities of laying arm Verstellmög 78th The pendulum movement results from pivoting movement about axis 81 . For this purpose, the pendulum arm 78 is designed as a two-armed lever. A crank mechanism 83 engages on a short arm 82 and moves the opposite long arm 84 . The latter is also equipped with an integrated height adjustment. An end piece 85 is angled relative to the long arm 84 in height by means of a preferably pneumatic actuating element 86 . In an embodiment not shown, the container is not self-rotating, but is arranged on a turntable.

In addition to being inserted into the container 31 , 50 , the devices described enable the cable to be removed from the container in the reverse manner.

Fig. 18 shows diagrammatically a device for inserting and removing of wires into a tank 31, or a pan. The device is a simple manipulator with two axes (especially for a pan) or three axes (especially for a tank). An arm 89, which can be angled about an axis 88, sits on a central column 87 . Compared to this, an extension arm 90 can be angled about an axis 91 . The cable is deposited by a corresponding holder (not shown) at the end 92 of the extension arm 90 . In the version for the fixed tank 31 , the arm 89 is also rotatable about the central axis 35 bar. The center column 87 itself can also be rotatable about the center axis 35 .

Fig. 19, finally, shows an embodiment of a erfindungsge MAESSEN device in connection with a so-called plate 93rd This corresponds to a pan, but has no outer peripheral walls. The cable 30 can be fed tangentially, not only from above, but from the side. The supply of the cable 30 to the plate 93 is indicated by the arrow 94 . The plate 93 is preferably mounted in two places, on the one hand on a central king bearing 95 and also close to the outer circumference on wheels 96 or on a corresponding air cushion. The number 97 denotes a boom or a bridge. This (or this) is provided with a guide device 98 for the cable 30 . The guide device is rela tively movable to the boom 97 in the radial direction and in the vertical direction. The cable is held and deposited by a guide head 99 at the lower end of the guide device 98 . The boom 97 can be mounted on a central pillar 100 relative to the plate 93 . The column 100 can also be arranged outside the half of the plate 93 . A rotation of the boom 97 relative to the column 100 is preferably possible.
