Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic machine for coiling a cable in successive layers in at least one vertical tank.
  • This storage also makes it possible to compensate for the difference in speed of manufacture of each line carrying out an operation, and on the other hand makes it possible to define a cable in the event of a particular incident occurring on a line at a given stage of manufacture.
  • Document GB-A-301446 discloses an automatic machine for coiling a cable in a vertical tank, comprising a horizontal rotating arm on which a cable guide moves radially. This machine provides only an approximate guide of the cable because it is free from the cable guide to the level of the layer. A human presence is therefore periodically necessary to form contiguous turns.
  • the present invention aims to suppress all human intervention during the filling of the tank which lasts about 3 days.
  • the work of the coilers will therefore consist simply in assisting the machine during the formation of the first turns, and three days later, in stopping the machine at the end of filling the tank.
  • a single coiler can therefore monitor several machines.
  • the automatic cable coiling machine is characterized in that it comprises an articulated bracket allowing the passage from one tank to another tank, a rotary arm whose axis of rotation is located at the end of the bracket and in the axis of the tank during the filling operation, a hinged parallelogram at the end of the rotary arm, an articulated bar at the end of the parallelogram, a cable follower located at the end of the articulated bar and moving vertically by means of the parallelogram, horizontally by means of the articulated bar, a cable tractor secured to the parallelogram and making it possible to regulate the speed of drive of the cable as a function of direction of winding of each layer, from the outside to the inside of each tank and vice versa, and in that it comprises position sensors and tachometric dynamos whose data are entered in a computer which controls and sync hronises all the power components such as motors and jacks.
  • a tank 1 provided with an external wall 1A, an internal wall 1B and placed on a base 3 having centralizers 4 which allow the positioning of the tank.
  • the cable 2 is driven by traction tracks (not shown) slaved to this production line.
  • traction tracks (not shown) slaved to this production line.
  • the articulation of the jib enables the coiling machine to be placed alternately above each tank.
  • the stem is centered by means of a pin which engages in an orifice 64 to position the stem above the tank 1, and in an orifice 64 'to position the stem above the tank 1' when tank 1 is full. It will then suffice to replace the tank 1 with an empty tank to permanently use the coiling machine.
  • position sensors 101, 102, 103,104,105,106 make it possible to know the angular position of the stem after a rotation in the clockwise direction or in the anticlockwise direction.
  • the sensors 101 and 106 each correspond to an extreme position for releasing the stem. These two positions parallel to the wall 3 'are shown in broken lines.
  • a position sensor 110 indicates that the arm 7 is indeed parallel to the wall and under the bracket on the tank side 1'
  • a position sensor 111 indicates that the arm 7 is indeed parallel to the wall and in the extension of the bracket on the tank side 1, to release the control arm 10 from the cable loop.
  • the sensors 103 and 104 are sensors for the end of acceleration of the bracket before it reaches the orifices 64 'and 64 respectively.
  • the sensor 102 corresponds to the orifice 64 'and the sensor 105 corresponds to the orifice 64.
  • the coiling machine 5 comprises the rotary arm 7 (better visible in FIG. 4), rotating around a vertical axis located at the end of the bracket 6.
  • a parallelogram 30 comprising an upper arm 31 vertical, two intermediate arms 32, 33 and a lower arm 34 vertical.
  • This parallelogram device makes it possible to cover the entire height of the tank and it is actuated by a jack 100.
  • the arm 34 supports the tractor 15 by means of a small bracket 12 provided at its end with a winch 16 pulling a suspension cable 14, a suspension cable 13 and a rigid bar 17.
  • This tractor has a motor 80, a torque limiter 83, a tachometer dynamo 82 and a clamping cylinder 81, and it pulls or pushes the cable by modulating the speed of rotation of the motor 80, as a function of the direction of coiling.
  • the tractor pushes the cable in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the arm when the cable 2 is wound from the outside to the inside, then pulls the cable in the direction of rotation of the arm. when the cable is wound from the inside to the outside, in order to have perfectly contiguous turns.
  • the arm 34 is supported at the bottom of the tank by means of a wheel 18 made of a hard elastomeric material.
  • Three position sensors 112,113,114 make it possible to know the vertical position of the arm 34.

  • the parallelogram is tilted by a jack 72, as visible in broken lines.
  • the wheel 18 is fixed to the lower support arm 34 of the parallelogram, the follower 40 is articulated on the bar 19, and the tractor 15 drives the guided cable 2, from the outlet of the chute 8 to the edge of the tank 1, by the cable loop control arm 10.
  • the cable 2 is driven by tracks (not shown), located at the end of the production line and slaved to it. It follows the bracket 6, the chute 8, the arm 10 for controlling the loop of the cable in guides 11, then passes through a tractor 15 and finally comes into the follower 40 to wind in contiguous turns in the tank 1.
  • the follower 40 is articulated by the sheath 19 'of the articulated bar 19 about an axis 20.

  • the follower is also in abutment on the external wall 1A of the tank and, we can see more particularly the shape of the cable guide 53, rotating on a bearing 53 '.
  • the tractor 15 has a hooking loop 13 'which supports the suspension cable 13 hooked by its other end to the bracket 12 of the parallelogram, and the suspension cable 14 coming from the winch 16 fixed to the end of the bracket 12 (see fig. 3).
  • This tractor also has a motor 80 connected to a torque limiter 83 itself provided with a drum 97 and a shock absorber 98.
  • This torque limiter a safety device in the event of the cable slipping, is connected by a pin 95 to a drive roller 85.
  • This roller is connected by a belt 87 to another drive roller 86, the two rollers being covered with a layer of elastomeric material.

  • Six position sensors placed on the support 6 'allow the movements of the stem 6 to be known.
  • the sensor 101 determines the "garage” position clockwise.
  • the sensor 102 determines the "coiling" position clockwise.
  • the sensor 103 determines the “end of acceleration” position clockwise.
  • the sensor 104 determines the “end of acceleration” position in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the sensor 105 determines the “coiling” position in an anti-clockwise direction.
  • the sensor 106 determines the "garage" position in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the jack 65 ensures the locking in rotation of the bracket.
  • the sensor 107 determines the high position of the locking cylinder.
  • the sensor 108 determines the low position, that is to say the locking position.
  • the motor 70 powers the rotary arm 7, and the tachometer generator 73 is used for manual operation and during the transition from manual to automatic operation for a gradual increase in speed.
  • the tachometer generator 74 makes it possible to know the speed of travel of the cable at the outlet of the chute 8, and informs the motor 70.
  • the sensor 109 is an angular position sensor of the rotary arm 7, which makes it possible, by derivation, to know the speed of rotation of the arm.
  • the sensor 110 is a sensor for the relative position of the arm relative to the bracket for the passage from the coiling position to the garage position in a clockwise direction.
  • the sensor 111 is a sensor for the relative position of the arm relative to the stem, for the passage from the coiling position to the garage position in the counterclockwise direction.

  • the rotary actuator 21 moves the follower 40 from the outer wall to the inner wall of the tank.
  • the cylinders 46 and 49 move the cable guides for winding from the inside to the outside.
  • the cylinders 47 and 48 move the cable guides for winding from the outside to the inside.
  • the sensor 115 is a layer change detection sensor, and it triggers the inversion of the cable guides by means of the jacks 46, 49 and 47, 48.
  • the sensor 116 is a detection sensor triggered by the roller 44 coming into abutment, which indicates the end of a layer and thus controls the jack 21 to reverse the direction of rotation of the articulated bar 19.
  • the coiling operation is carried out as follows: The empty tank 1 being in place, station chief placed at an external control console, triggers the rotation of the stem by the motor 60; the position sensors 104 to 105 follow this rotation and as soon as the bracket is in place above the empty tank, the jack 65 engages the pin 63 in the orifice 64, the bracket is therefore in the working position.
  • the coiler descends into the tank, unlocks the chute and performs a first turn by hand against the external wall 1A of the tank.
  • the coiler asks the station manager to lower the parallelogram by actuating the motor 100, so as to place the follower 40 on the bottom of the tank and then against the turn of the cable.
  • the loveur alone now performs the maneuvers via a control box placed within its reach, and all the following operations will be stored in an auxiliary computer.
  • the coiler lowers, by the action of the cylinders 47, 48, the cable guides 54, 51 and controls the pneumatic action of the rotary cylinder 21 which, in this case, tends to push the turns towards the outside of the tank to make them contiguous.
  • the machine is therefore in automatic piloting, the speed of travel of the cable at the outlet of the chute is controlled by the tachometer dynamo 74 which informs the motor 70, and the speed of travel of the cable at the exit of the tractor is controlled by the dynamo tachometer 82; these two speeds must of course be synchronized.
  • the speed of rotation of the arm is obtained by deriving with respect to time the information given by the position sensor 109, and this must correspond exactly to the synchronized linear speed of the cable.
  • the height of coiling already carried out is given by the sensors 112, 113, 114, the computer modifies the length of the loop as a function of the height already reached, and this every 300 mm.
  • the follower 40 is equipped with a magnetic sensor 116 which, as soon as the follower has reached the internal wall 1 B of the tank, cancels the force exerted by the rotary actuator 21, the follower then rises by a value equal to the cable thickness, and the sensor 115 controls the inversion of the cable guides.
  • the cable guides 51, 54 are retracted under the action of the jacks 47, 48, the cable guides 52, 53 are in the working position under the action of the jacks 46, 49 and the force exerted by the rotary jack 21 on the cable will change direction compared to the 1st turn.
  • the follower will return to its initial position, against the external wall of the tank, and these operations will follow one another during the entire filling period.
  • the two sensors 115 and 116 modulate via the computer the speed of the tractor either to push or to pull the cable.
  • this coiling machine can of course be used for all types of cables having different diameters, and it can be provided with force sensors making it possible to properly monitor the mechanical forces applied to the cable during of the coiling operation.
