Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a round sling, as is used in particular for lifting purposes. Such a manufacturing process is the subject of DE-A 2716056.
  • the protective hose consisting of a textile tubular fabric alone has the function of protecting the scrim over the entire circumferential length of the round sling against mechanical damage from the outside, since the thread strand of the scrim usually consists of synthetic yarns. Synthetic threads are known to be particularly sensitive to notches or cuts.
  • the protective hose is slightly creased in the circumferential direction of the round sling. An expansion occurring in the event of a load and thus an increase in the circumferential length of the scrim still does not result in the action of a tensile load and thus in a risk of damage to the protective tube.
  • the maximum service life or service life of such a round sling is primarily determined by the service life or service life of the protective tube. If this is damaged in one place, the round sling must be retired for reasons of accident prevention.
  • a special feature of the round sling manufacturing process known from DE-A 2 716 056 is that for the machine insertion of the thread wrap the one-piece protective tube of greater circumferential length than the thread wrap must be compressed in the longitudinal direction of the tube to a length which is far less than half the initial length of the protective tube.
  • the required compression of the hose fabric with the desired wall thickness can only be achieved by widening the hose fabric, that is to say by enlarging the hose cross section.
  • a hose enlargement does not only require an expensive, additional use of textile material. It also worsens the usage properties of the round sling because the protective hose takes up an unnecessarily large amount of space in the crane hook.
  • a cross-sectional shape that is as circular as possible is advantageous because it can be accommodated particularly easily in a crane hook.
  • the regular inspection of round slings in use relates primarily to whether the tubular fabric is undamaged, i.e. has no passages to the load-bearing scrim due to mechanical influences from outside. Such passages are easily ascertainable from the outside on protective tubes with only one fabric layer between the marginal edges of the tube fabric.
  • a double fabric layer forming the tube wall between the edge edges of the protective tube there is a risk that e.g. sharp metal shavings initially only penetrate the outer fabric layer, which because of the inner fabric layer remaining undamaged in the penetration area is difficult or impossible to determine from the outside. Then penetrated metal chips move between the outer and inner layers of the protective hose, where they are invisible from the outside. This hiking is completely unhindered.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a manufacturing method of the type mentioned, through which the wall thickness of the two fabric layers of the tubular fabric without an excessive expenditure of textile material can be largely increased as desired.
  • This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the solution is briefly that the total length of the protective tube is divided into two preferably equal length sections of the tubular fabric before the scrim is drawn in in the conventional manner.
  • This division into two lengths has the advantage that the Schluach fabric in the area of both lengths no longer needs to be compressed in the longitudinal direction to at least about 40%, but now only to about 80% to 90% of its original length in order to machine the laid scrim in a conventional manner Way to contribute.
  • the round sling produced according to the invention differs from a conventional round sling of the type mentioned at the outset, except for the greater wall thickness of both fabric layers of the tubular fabric, only in that the protective tube does not consist of a single tubular fabric part, but rather consists of two tubular fabric parts which are joined to one another in the circumferential direction and which end together connected, in particular sewn together.
  • the winding table 1 of the device for introducing the laid scrim 2 into the longitudinal sections 3, 4 of the protective tube 5 of the round sling (FIG. 4) carries a plurality of synthetic threads 7 wound on spools 6.
  • the threads 7 can be turned by rotating the winding table 1 in the direction of the arrow 1 'are twisted together to form a strand 8.
  • the thread strand 8 can also be referred to as a thread cardel.
  • the length sections 3, 4 of the protective tube 5 are cut off from a tube fabric woven in any length. Their length corresponds to slightly more than half the circumferential length of the round sling according to FIG. 4 plus an excess for the mutual overlap 9 in the region of their ends.
  • a seam 10 is provided which prevents the two longitudinal sections 3, 4 from detaching from one another and thus preventing the laid scrim from being exposed.
  • the two longitudinal sections 3, 4 are each pushed over a channel-like support body 11 in the longitudinal direction of the hose.
  • the support body 11 has the cross-sectional shape of approximately a tube halved in the longitudinal direction.
  • the length sections 3, 4 of the protective tube 5 are compressed in such a way that their compression length is approximately 80 to 90% of their initial length as a tubular fabric.
  • the length of the support body 11 corresponds approximately to the compression length of the two length sections 3, 4.
  • both support bodies 7 with the longitudinal sections 3 and 4 surrounding them are guided between the two wheel disks 12, 13.
  • the wheel disks 12, 13 lie with their plane of rotation in the same vertical plane.
  • the wheel disc 12 can be driven by a motor in the direction of the arrow 14. It is mounted fixed on the machine frame, which is represented by a bearing arm 15.
  • the wheel disc 13 is only freely rotatably mounted on the bearing arm 16.
  • the bearing arm 16 is mounted on the machine frame so as to be displaceable on both sides in the direction of the arrow 16 '.
  • the distance between the two wheel disks 12, 13 can be varied. This distance, together with the diameter of both wheel disks 12, 13, determines the desired circumferential length of the round sling to be produced.
  • the wheel disks 12, 13 can be mounted on one side in order to facilitate the removal of the thread scrim 2 from the wheel disks 12, 13 after the thread scrim 2 has been drawn into the two longitudinal sections 3, 4 of the protective tube 5 which will later become the protective tube 5.
  • the two supporting bodies 11 with the compressed longitudinal sections 3 and 4 pushed onto them are arranged in the longitudinal direction within the vertical plane running through the plane of the wheel disks 12, 13 that the The central longitudinal axes 17, 18 of the two semi-tubular support bodies 11 or of the longitudinal sections 3, 4 seated on them in compressed form coincide approximately with the tangents 21 and 22 placed through the upper apexes 19 and the lower apexes 20 of the two wheel disks 12, 13.
  • the first length section 3 surrounds the upper run 24 and the second length section 4 surrounds the lower run 25 of the cable drive.
  • the thread strand 8 is shrunk over the circumference of the right wheel disc 12 through the support body 11 with the first length section 3 pushed onto it, from top to bottom over the circumference of the left wheel disc 13 and from there in the opposite direction through the support body 11 with the compressed second length section 4 resting thereon back to the wheel disk 12.
  • This end of the thread strand 8 is then knotted on the thread strand coming from the winding table 1 by means of the knot 23.
  • the thread strand 8 now forms a self-contained cable drive between the two wheel disks 12, 13.
  • the end-side knotting of the thread strand 8 to form this cable drive is to be carried out in such a way that the thread strand 8 lies relatively firmly on the circumference of the wheel discs 12, 13 , so that there is frictional engagement with the wheel disks 12, 13.
  • the only important thing is the production of a cable drive and not the number of wheel disks 12, 13 of this cable drive. Instead of only two wheel disks, it is very conceivable to work with a cable drive containing four wheel disks, in which case each wheel disk then only causes a deflection of approximately 90 ° . Such a design of the manufacturing device can be advantageous for frictional reasons.
  • the number of revolutions of the knot 23 consequently corresponds to the number of turns of thread strands 8 in the later laid scrim 2, which runs within the two longitudinal sections 3, 4.
  • the drive of the wheel disc 12 is switched off, which can be done by an automatic control device.
  • the rear end 26 of the thread strand 8 is then cut off from the feed side of the threads 7.
  • the scrim 2 consisting of a plurality of thread strand turns is removed from the wheel disks 12, 13.
  • the support body 11 are then pulled out of the compressed length sections 3, 4 of the later tubular casing 5.
  • the length sections 3, 4 are pulled apart to their original starting length in the circumferential direction of the laid scrim 2.
  • the ends of the length sections 3, 4 are inserted into one another to form the overlap 9 and connected to one another by the seam 10.
  • the manufacturing method according to the invention makes it possible, with a constant width of the tubular fabric or a constant inner cross-section of the protective tube intended to accommodate the laid scrim 2, of the tubular fabric, e.g. to increase the wear resistance so that it is compressible to a much lesser extent than is required in the conventional manufacturing process.
