Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de sécurité pour engin de levage tel un palan électrique et à l'engin de levage pourvu de ce dispositif.The invention relates to a safety device for a lifting device such as an electric hoist and to the lifting device provided with this device.
Dans les engins de levage, la charge est généralement suspendue à un lien, tel un cable ou une chaîne, s'enroulant sur un dispositif de commande, tel un tambour de treuil ou une roue à empreintes, qui, par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission et éventuellement d'un réducteur de vitesse, est relié à un moyen moteur.In lifting devices, the load is generally suspended from a link, such as a cable or chain, winding on a control device, such as a winch drum or a footprint wheel, which, through a transmission and possibly a speed reducer, is connected to a motor means.
Afin de maintenir la charge à une hauteur donnée ou de freiner sa descente, ces engins comportent en outre, généralement sur leur arbre moteur en amont du réducteur, un frein dont l'action est commandée ou annulée sous le contrôle de l'opérateur.In order to maintain the load at a given height or to brake its descent, these machines also comprise, generally on their drive shaft upstream of the reducer, a brake whose action is controlled or canceled under the control of the operator.
Malgré les sévères contrôles subis par les composants, les règles de sécurité obligent à imaginer que pourrait néanmoins se produire une défaillance de l'opérateur mais aussi de l'un de ces composants, telle une rupture de l'arbre moteur ou d'un élément du réducteur de vitesse.Despite the severe controls undergone by the components, the safety rules force us to imagine that a failure could nevertheless occur of the operator but also of one of these components, such as a rupture of the motor shaft or of an element speed reducer.
Si, dans la chaîne cinématique, le composant défectueux se situe en amont du frein commandable par l'opérateur et que celui-ci s'en rend compte à temps pour commander le frein, les conséquences de cette défectuosité pourraient ne pas avoir de gravité.If, in the kinematic chain, the defective component is located upstream of the operator-controllable brake and the operator realizes this in time to control the brake, the consequences of this defect may not be serious.
Si ledit composant se situe par contre en aval du frein, il n'y aura aucun moyen d'arrêter le chute de la charge.If, however, the said component is located downstream of the brake, there will be no way to stop the load from falling.
Un résultat que l'invention vise à obtenir est un dispositif de sécurité qui contrôle constamment la vitesse de descente de la charge et qui, dès qu'il détecte une vitesse anormale, intervient automatiquement au terme de la chaîne cinématique pour freiner sinon immobiliser ladite charge.A result which the invention aims to obtain is a safety device which constantly controls the rate of descent of the load and which, as soon as it detects an abnormal speed, intervenes automatically at the end of the kinematic chain to brake if not immobilize said load .
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un tel dispositif de sécurité notamment caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend d'une part, un détecteur de vitesse anormale de la charge et d'autre part, un frein automatique d'urgence avec un moyen pour sa commande dès que l'information fournie par le détecteur atteint un certain seuil.To this end, the subject of the invention is such a safety device, in particular characterized in that it comprises on the one hand, an abnormal load speed detector and on the other hand, an automatic emergency brake with a means for its control as soon as the information supplied by the detector reaches a certain threshold.
Elle a également pour objet l'engin de levage pourvu de ce dispositif.It also relates to the lifting device provided with this device.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement :
- - figure 1. : un palan électrique à cable pourvu de ce dispositif,
- - figure 2. : une coupe selon II-II de la figure 1,
- - figure 3. : à plus grande échelle, un détail de ce dispositif.
- - Figure 1.: an electric cable hoist provided with this device,
- - Figure 2.: a section on II-II of Figure 1,
- - Figure 3.: on a larger scale, a detail of this device.
En se reportant au dessin, on voit que le palan comprend une carcasse 1 formée de deux brides 2, 3 reliées entre elles par un tube central 4 et par des entretoises périphériques 5.Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the hoist comprises a carcass 1 formed from two flanges 2, 3 connected together by a central tube 4 and by peripheral spacers 5.
Extérieurement, l'une des brides porte un moteur de levage 6 dont l'arbre 7, en passant dans le tube 4, traverse la carcasse puis entre dans le réducteur de vitesse 8 avant de parvenir à l'extrémité opposée du palan où il porte un disque 9 d'un frein dont l'action des mâchoires 10, 11, est contrôlée par un dispositif 12 commandé par l'opérateur. A l'intérieur du carter 8 du réducteur, l'arbre moteur 7 porte un pignon 13 d'attaque d'un train d'engrenage 14 dont l'arbre de sortie 15 pénètre dans la carcasse 1 en passant par un orifice excentré 16, prévu dans la bride correspondante 3.Externally, one of the flanges carries a lifting motor 6 whose shaft 7, passing through the tube 4, crosses the carcass then enters the speed reducer 8 before arriving at the opposite end of the hoist where it carries a disc 9 of a brake whose action of the
A l'intérieur de la carcasse 1, l'arbre 15 de sortie du train d'engrenage 14 du réducteur porte un pignon 17 engrenant dans la denture 18 taillée à l'intérieur d'une couronne 19 solidaire d'un tambour 20 qui, par exemple à l'aide de roulements 21, 22, est quidé en rotation autour du tube central 4.Inside the carcass 1, the output shaft 15 of the
Sur ce' tambour 20, sous l'action du moteur 6, s'enroule ou se déroule une extrémité 23 d'un cable 24 dont l'autre extrémité 25, après être passée dans une moufle, vient se fixer à un point fixe 27 d'une traverse 28 de la carcasse 1. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la carcasse 1 porte un détecteur 29 de vitesse anormale de la charge, tel une cellule reliée à un compteur analyseur comparant la vitesse normale à la vitesse réelle déterminée quant à elle à partir de la fréquence de passage d'éléments mobiles en synchronisme avec la charge, tels les dents 18 de la couronne 19 solidaire du tambour 20, qui constitue le terme de la chaîne cinématique.On this '
Les informations de ce détecteur sont présentées à au moins une porte qui, à partir d'un certain seuil de différence de vitesse, commande un freinage automatique d'urgence.The information from this detector is presented to at least one door which, from a certain speed difference threshold, commands an automatic emergency braking.
A cet effet, la carcasse porte au moins un cliquet 30 coopérant avec au moins une roue à crochet 31 associée au tambour 20, qui constitue donc le terme de la chaîne cinématique, par une garniture de friction 32.To this end, the carcass carries at least one pawl 30 cooperating with at least one
En marche normale, le cliquet 30, qui est articulé autour d'un axe 33, est constamment tenu à l'écart de la roue à rochet, par exemple à l'aide d'un électro-aimant 34.In normal operation, the pawl 30, which is articulated around an axis 33, is constantly kept away from the ratchet wheel, for example using an
Dès que le détecteur 29 commande un freinage automatique d'urgence, le cliquet est amené au contact de la roue de préférence par coupure de l'alimentation de l'électro-aimant 34.As soon as the
Le cliquet 30 bloque alors la roue à rochet 31.The pawl 30 then blocks the
Grâce à ce mode préféré de réalisation de la commande de l'engagement du cliquet avec la roue par coupure de l'alimentation de l'électro-aimant, la sécurité est totale puisque, même en cas de coupure de courant, la charge est bloquée.Thanks to this preferred embodiment of the control of the engagement of the pawl with the wheel by cutting off the power supply of the electromagnet, safety is total since, even in the event of a power cut, the load is blocked. .
La garniture de friction 32 par laquelle la roue à rochet est associée au tambour, assure la progressivité du freinage.The
Afin que cette friction adhère avec force sur la face correspondante du tambour, l'ensemble que forment la roue à rochet 31 et la garniture 32 est scindé en au moins deux parties formant des mâchoires 35, 36, reliées entre elles par de forts éléments élastiques 37 communiquant aux dites mâchoires leur force de pression sur le tambour.In order for this friction to adhere forcefully to the corresponding face of the drum, the assembly formed by the
Dans un mode préféré, afin de ne pas réduire la capacité d'enroulement du cable sur le tambour, sans pour autant en augmenter l'encombrement, la garniture 32 prend appui sur un alésage du tambour 20 qui réalise donc lui-même le tambour du frein.In a preferred embodiment, in order not to reduce the winding capacity of the cable on the drum, without increasing its size, the
A cet effet, cette garniture est fixée sur la face cylindrique extérieure d'une collerette 38 portée latéralement par la roue à rochet 31.To this end, this lining is fixed to the external cylindrical face of a
Dans le plan 39 de jonction, les mâchoires 35, 36, portent chacune à leurs extrémités deux pattes 40, 41.In the
Entre les pattes en vis à vis des mâchoires, est intercalé l'élement élastique 37 qui, par exemple, consistera en un empilage de rondelles coniques en acier à ressort.Between the legs facing the jaws is interposed the
Pour faciliter le montage/démontage, est prévu un moyen 42 de pincement des pattes 40, 41, tel un boulon ou des écrous et une tige filetée enfilée dans les pattes et la pile de rondelles.To facilitate assembly / disassembly, there is provided a
Evidemment pour compléter l'action du frein automatique d'urgence, le détecteur 29 peut commander le frein normal. De même, l'information du détecteur peut être présentée à d'autres portes que celle commandant le frein d'urgence. Ces autres portes peuvent être réglées de manière telle que, dès la détection d'une vitesse anormale, qu'il s'agisse d'une sous vitesse ou d'une survitesse, d'importance moindre que celle commandant le freinage d'urgence, soit déjà commandée l'action du frein normal et/ou d'une alarme visuelle ou sonore.Obviously to complete the action of the automatic emergency brake, the
