Description

Lasttragvorrichtung Load carrying device
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lasttragvorrich¬ tung, mit einem am Vorrichtungsgehäuse schwenkbar an¬ gelenkten Lasthaken, einer Anschlussstelle für ein Last¬ seil und mit einer Sperrklinke für das Hakenmaul, mit einer Einrichtung zum ferngesteuerten Schwenken desThe invention relates to a load carrying device, with a load hook pivotably hinged to the device housing, a connection point for a load rope and with a pawl for the hook mouth, with a device for remote-controlled pivoting of the
Lasthakens und damit Oeffnen des Hakenmauls zum Abgeben der Last vom Lasthaken.Load hook and thus opening the hook jaw to release the load from the load hook.
Eine solche bekannte Lasttragvorrichtung wird insbesondere für einen Hubschrauber auf dem Markt ange- boten. Bei dieser Verwendungsart ist es wichtig, dass die Last gegebenenfalls vom Lasthaken abgeworfen werden kann. Die im Hakenmaul liegende Sperrklinke ist üb¬ licherweise federbelastet und genügt den Anforderungen bei einem problemlosen Flug. Sackt der Hubschrauber aber mit seiner Last plötzlich durch, so kann das Last¬ seil locker hängen, die mittels Feder in der Sperrläge liegende Sperrklinke von aussen her verdrängen und damit das Hakenmaul öffnen, wodurch eine kritische Situation entstehen kann. Es wird die Schaffung einer Lasttragvorrich¬ tung bezweckt, bei der dieser vorerwähnte Nachteil ver¬ mieden werden kann.Such a known load carrying device is offered on the market in particular for a helicopter. With this type of use, it is important that the load can be dropped from the load hook if necessary. The pawl located in the hook jaw is usually spring-loaded and meets the requirements for a problem-free flight. However, if the helicopter suddenly drops through with its load, the load rope can hang loosely, displace the pawl lying in the locking position by means of a spring from the outside and thus open the hook mouth, which can result in a critical situation. The aim is to create a load carrying device in which this aforementioned disadvantage can be avoided.
Die erfindungsgemässe Lasttragvorrichtung ist gekennzeichnet durch einen im Vorrichtungsgehäuse hin- und herbewegbaren Riegel, der in seiner Verriegelungs¬ stellung im Bewegungsweg der das Hakenmaul freigebenden Sperrklinke liegt, zur Verhinderung des Freigebens des Hakenmauls.The load carrying device according to the invention is characterized by a lock which can be moved back and forth in the device housing and which, in its locking position, lies in the path of movement of the pawl which releases the hook jaw, in order to prevent the hook jaw from being released.
Durch diesen erfindungsgemässen Riegel wird nunmehr die in ihrer Sperrstellung befindliche Sperr¬ klinke formschlüssig in ihrer Sperrstellung gehalten. In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt. Es zeigen:By means of this bolt according to the invention, the pawl located in its locking position is now held in a form-fitting manner in its locking position. In the drawing, an embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown. Show it:

Fig. 3 eine gleiche Ansicht wie die in Fig. 1, bei vertikal geöffnetem Vorrichtungsgehäuse, wobei die Sperrklinke weggelassen worden ist. Die Lasttragvorrichtung hat ein Vorrichtungs¬ gehäuse 1 mit der Aussenkontur 2. An Gehäuse 1 ist ein Lasthaken 3 um die Achse 4 schwenkbar angelenkt. Der Lasthaken 3 ist drehfest mit einem Betätigungsarm 5 verbunden, der somit ebenfalls um die Achse 4 schwenk- bar ist. Die Vorrichtung hat eine angedeutete Anschluss¬ stelle 6 für ein Lastseil 7. Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass beim Hakenmaul 8 eine Sperrklinke 9 liegt, die in nicht dargestellter Weise durch eine Feder in die das Hakenmaul 8 verschliessende Sperrstellung gemäss Fig. 1 gedrückt w_|4:d, wobei die Sperrklinke um die Stelle 10 schwenkbar ist. In den Figuren 1 und 3 befindet sich der Lasthaken 3 in seiner Betriebsstellung, in der er also eine Last tragen kann. Es ist eine nicht darge¬ stellte Einrichtung zum ferngesteuerten Schwenken des Lasthakens 3 in seine _Nicht-Betriebsstellung vorhanden, wobei also das Hakenmaul 8 geöffnet wird und die Last vom Lasthaken 3 abgegeben wird. Diese vorerwähnte Ein¬ richtung ist bekannt und nicht dargestellt. Es soll hierzu nur so viel gesagt werden, dass über die Fern- Steuerung elektrische Signale zu Magneten gegeben werden, die ein Sperrgestänge bewegen, das ein Sperrorgan ent¬ fernt, das vorher als Gegenhalter in Richtung des Pfeiles A am Betätigungsarm 5 wirksam ist. Fällt nun dieser Gegenhalter A weg, so schwenkt der Lasthaken 3 im Uhrzeigersinn, und der Betätigungsarm 5 nimmt die strichpunktierte Stellung 5" ein. Dieses Bewegen des Betätigungsarms 5 erfolgt gegen die Kraft einer Gasfeder 11. Durch Entspannen dieser Gasfeder geht dann der Last¬ haken wieder in seine dargestellte Betriebsstellung zurück. Der vorerwähnte Aufbau der Lasttragvorrichtung ist bereits bekannt.Fig. 3 is a same view as that in Fig. 1, with the device housing opened vertically, the pawl has been omitted. The load-bearing device has a device housing 1 with the outer contour 2. A load hook 3 is pivoted on the housing 1 about the axis 4. The load hook 3 is non-rotatably connected to an actuating arm 5, which is thus also pivotable about the axis 4. The device has an indicated connection point 6 for a load rope 7. From FIG. 1 it can be seen that there is a pawl 9 in the hook mouth 8, which is pressed in a manner not shown by a spring into the locked position closing the hook mouth 8 according to FIG. 1 w_ | 4: d, the pawl being pivotable about the point 10. In Figures 1 and 3, the load hook 3 is in its operating position, in which it can therefore carry a load. There is a device, not shown, for remote-controlled pivoting of the load hook 3 into its non-operating position, the hook jaw 8 is thus opened and the load is released by the load hook 3. This aforementioned device is known and is not shown. It should only be said that the remote control sends electrical signals to magnets that move a locking rod that removes a locking element that previously acted as a counter-holder in the direction of arrow A on the actuating arm 5. If this counter-holder A is removed, the load hook 3 pivots clockwise and the actuating arm 5 assumes the dot-dash position 5 ". This movement of the actuating arm 5 takes place against the force of a gas spring 11. The load hook then goes out by relaxing this gas spring The aforementioned construction of the load-bearing device is already known.
Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass sich im Vor¬ richtungsgehäuse 1 ein hin- und herbewegbarer Riegel in Form einer Stange 12 befindet. Diese Stange ist axial verschiebbar und befindet sich mit voll ausgezogenen Linien in Fig. 1 in ihrer Nicht-Betriebsstellung und mit strichpunktierter Linie in ihrer Betriebsstellung 12'. Die Stange 12 wird axial von einer Feder 13 be¬ lastet, die das Bestreben hat, die Stange 12 in Fig. 1 nach rechts in die Verriegelungsstellung 12* (Betriebs¬ stellung) zu schieben. Diese Feder 13 stützt sich also einerends an der Stange 12 und andererends über einen Gewindezapfen 14 am Gehäuse 1 ab. Die Stange hat eine Ringnut 15, in die ein Rückhalteorgan 16 mit seinem federbelasteten Vorsprung 17 einrastbar ist, wie es in Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt ist. Das Rückhalteorgan 16 hat einen untenliegenden Tragzapfen 18 und oben ein ge¬ gabeltes Ende 19 für die Anschlussstelle 6 des Lastseils 7. Zwischen dem Tragzapfen 18 und dem gegabelten Ende 19 weist das Rückhalteorgan 16 einen zylindrischen Teil 20 auf, der im Vorrichtungsgehäuse 1 um die Achse 21 drehbar gelagert ist. Hierzu sind zwei Wälzlager 22 und 23 vorhanden. Unter dem Wälzlager 22 befindet sich ein elastischer Ring 24, und es sind noch ein Distanzring 25 sowie ein Abdichtring 26 vorhanden. Das Rückhalte¬ organ 16 mit Anschlussstelle 6 ist gegenüber dem Vorrich¬ tungsgehäuse 1 gegen die Kraft einer zweiten Feder 27 (Tellerfederpaket) im vertikaler Richtung, also in Rich¬ tung der Achse 21, verschiebbar gelagert, wobei der zy- lindrische Teil 20 in Fig. 2 vom Wälzlager 22 nach oben abhebt. Das Rückhalteorgan 16 ist hierbei über eine Mutter 28 und das Wälzlager 23 am Tellerfederpaket 27 abgestützt. Im unteren Ende des Tragzapfens 18 sitzt der als Stift ausgebildete Vorsprung 17, der durch eine Feder 29 nach unten gegen eine Büchse 30 gedrückt wird. Der Tragzapfen 18 liegt also innerhalb der zweiten Feder 27 (Tellerfederpaket) . Ueber die beiden Wälzlager 22 und 23 ist das Vorrichtungsgehäuse 1 gegenüber der Last¬ seil-Anschlussstelle 6 und damit gegenüber dem Rückhalte- organ 16 frei drehbar um die Achse 21. Durch das Tel¬ lerfederpaket 27 ist weiterhin das Vorrichtungsgehäuse 1 gegenüber der Lastseil-Anschlussstelle 6 in der Längs¬ achse 21 federnd gelagert.It can be seen from FIG. 1 that a toggle bar in the form of a rod 12 is located in the device housing 1. This rod is axially displaceable and is in its non-operating position with solid lines in Fig. 1 and in its operating position 12 'with a dash-dotted line. The rod 12 is axially loaded by a spring 13 which tends to push the rod 12 to the right into the locking position 12 * (operating position) in FIG. 1. This spring 13 is therefore supported at one end on the rod 12 and at the other end via a threaded pin 14 on the housing 1. The rod has an annular groove 15 into which a retaining member 16 can be snapped with its spring-loaded projection 17, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The retaining member 16 has a support pin 18 located at the bottom and a forked end 19 at the top for the connection point 6 of the load cable 7. Between the support pin 18 and the forked end 19, the retaining member 16 has a cylindrical part 20, which is rotatably mounted in the device housing 1 about the axis 21. For this purpose, two roller bearings 22 and 23 are available. There is an elastic ring 24 below the roller bearing 22, and there is also a spacer ring 25 and a sealing ring 26. The retaining member 16 with connection point 6 is displaceably mounted in the vertical direction, that is in the direction of the axis 21, in relation to the device housing 1 against the force of a second spring 27 (disk spring assembly), the cylindrical part 20 in FIG 2 lifts up from the roller bearing 22. The retaining member 16 is supported on the plate spring assembly 27 via a nut 28 and the roller bearing 23. In the lower end of the support pin 18 sits the projection 17, which is designed as a pin and is pressed downward by a spring 29 against a bush 30. The support pin 18 is therefore within the second spring 27 (plate spring assembly). Via the two roller bearings 22 and 23, the device housing 1 can be freely rotated about the axis 21 with respect to the load cable connection point 6 and thus with respect to the retaining element 16 6 resiliently mounted in the longitudinal axis 21.
Im Vorrichtungsgehäuse 1 ist ein Zahnrad 31 drehbar gelagert, wobei am Zahnrad 31 ein Antriebsorgan 32 in Form einer Klinke angebracht ist. In der einen Drehrichtung des Zahnrades ist dieses mit dem Antriebs¬ organ 32 drehfest verbunden und in der anderen Dreh¬ richtung ist ein Freilauf zwischen Zahnrad 31 und An- triebsorgan 32 wirksam. Die Stange 12 hat einen in Fig. 1 gezeigten Zahnstangenabschnitt 33, der mit dem Zahnrad 31 kämmt. Aus Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, dass der Betäti¬ gungsarm 5 eine Rolle 34 trägt, die in später erläuter¬ ter Weise mit dem Antriebsorgan 32 in Eingriff kommt, wenn sich dieses in der Stellung 32' befindet. Befindet sich der Betätigungsarm 5 in seiner Stellung 5', so be¬ findet sich die Rolle 34 in ihrer Stellung 34' nach Fig. 3.A gear 31 is rotatably mounted in the device housing 1, a drive member 32 in the form of a pawl being attached to the gear 31. In one direction of rotation of the gearwheel, it is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive element 32, and in the other direction of rotation a free-wheeling action is effective between the gearwheel 31 and the drive element 32. The rod 12 has a rack section 33 shown in FIG. 1 which meshes with the gear wheel 31. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the actuating arm 5 carries a roller 34 which, in a manner explained later, engages with the drive element 32 when it is in the position 32 '. Located If the actuating arm 5 is in its position 5 ', the roller 34 is in its position 34' according to FIG. 3.
Die Arbeitsweise mit der erläuterten Vorrich- tung ist folgendermassen:The method of operation with the device explained is as follows:
In der Betriebsstellung der Vorrichtung befin¬ det sich der Lasthaken 3 in der gezeigten Stellung nach den Figuren 1 und 3. Da das Lastseil 7 noch nicht be¬ lastet ist, da im Lasthaken 3 noch keine Last hängt, befindet sich die gesamte Vorrichtung in der Stellung nach Fig. 1, d.h. die Stange 12 befindet sich in ihrer Nicht-Betriebsstellung (Nicht-Verriegelungsstellung) , da der Vorsprung 17 des Rückhalteorgans 16 in der Ring¬ nut 15 liegt, so dass die Feder 13 die Stange 12 nicht in die Stellung nach Fig. 12' drücken kann. Die Sperr¬ klinke 9 kann somit in Fig. 1 nach oben geschwenkt wer¬ den, so dass das Hakenmaul 8 frei ist, um eine Last in den Haken 3 einzuhängen. Die Sperrklinke 9 geht dann federbelastet wieder in die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Stellung zurück. Wenn nunmehr diese am Haken 3 hängende Last durch den Hubschrauber vom Boden abgehoben wird und diese Last so gross ist, dass das Tellerfederpaket 27 zusammengedrückt wird, wird das Rückhalteorgan 16 mit VorSprung 17 in Fig. 1 nach oben bewegt und gelangt aus- ser Eingriff mit der Stange 12. Nunmehr drückt dieIn the operating position of the device, the load hook 3 is in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Since the load rope 7 has not yet been loaded, since there is no load in the load hook 3, the entire device is in the position shown in FIGS Position according to Fig. 1, ie the rod 12 is in its non-operating position (non-locking position), since the projection 17 of the retaining member 16 lies in the annular groove 15, so that the spring 13 cannot push the rod 12 into the position according to FIG. 12 ' . The pawl 9 can thus be pivoted upward in FIG. 1, so that the hook mouth 8 is free to hang a load in the hook 3. The pawl 9 then returns spring-loaded to the position shown in FIG. 1. If this load hanging on the hook 3 is now lifted off the ground by the helicopter and this load is so great that the disk spring assembly 27 is compressed, the retaining element 16 is moved upwards with projection 17 in FIG. 1 and comes out of engagement the rod 12. Now press the
Feder 13 die Stange 12 in die Verriegelungsstellung 12'. Die Sperrklinke 9 kann nunmehr nicht mehr in Fig. 1 nach oben schwenken, da sie an der in der Stellung 12' befind¬ lichen Stange anschlägt. Das Hakenmaul 8 bleibt somit verschlossen. Der Hubschrauber befördert nunmehr die am Haken 3 hängende Last zur gewünschten Stelle, wobei sich die Last mit dem Vorrichtungsgehäuse 1 mittels des Wälzlagers 23 gegenüber der Lastseil-Anschlussstelle 6 frei drehen kann. Der zylindrische Teil 20 vom Rück- halteorgan 16 ist hierbei vom Wälzlager 22 abgehoben. Wenn nunmehr der Hubschrauber plötzlich durchsackt und das Lastseil 7 nicht mehr belastet ist, entspannt sich das Tellerfederpaket 27 und das Rückhalteorgan 16 geht gegenüber dem vorrichtungwgehäuse 1 nach unten, wobei der Vorsprung 17 auf die Mantelfläche der Stange 12 trifft und nunmehr durch Zusammendrücken der Feder 29 nach innen ausweichen kann, so dass das Rückhalteorgan 16 nicht an der Stange 12 anliegt. Da weiterhin die Stange 12 sich in ihrer Stellung 12' befindet, kann auch nicht die am Haken 3 hängende Last (und auch nicht das schlaff gewordene Lastseil 7) von aussen her in das Hakenmaul 8 eindringen, so dass auch nicht die Last aus dem Haken 3 gelangen kann. Das Durchsacken des Hub¬ schraubers und das freie Fallen der Last mit der Last¬ tragvorrichtung kann federelastisch durch das Teller- federpaket 27 aufgefangen werden, wobei auch Schläge in der anderen Richtung durch den elastischen Ring 24 aufgefangen werden.Spring 13 the rod 12 in the locking position 12 '. The pawl 9 can now no longer pivot upwards in FIG. 1, since it strikes the rod in the position 12 '. The hook mouth 8 thus remains closed. The helicopter now transports the load hanging on the hook 3 to the desired point, the load with the device housing 1 being able to rotate freely by means of the roller bearing 23 relative to the load cable connection point 6. The cylindrical part 20 of the retaining member 16 is lifted off the roller bearing 22. If the helicopter suddenly sagged and the load cable 7 is no longer loaded, the plate spring assembly 27 relaxes and the retaining element 16 goes down relative to the device housing 1, the projection 17 hitting the lateral surface of the rod 12 and can now deflect inwards by compressing the spring 29, so that the retention member 16 does not abut the rod 12. Since the rod 12 is still in its position 12 ', the load hanging on the hook 3 (and also not the slack load rope 7) cannot penetrate from outside into the hook mouth 8, so that the load does not come out of the hook 3 can reach. The sagging of the helicopter and the free falling of the load with the load-carrying device can be absorbed by the plate spring assembly 27 in a spring-elastic manner, with impacts in the other direction being absorbed by the elastic ring 24.
Die Stange 12 befindet sich nach wie vor in ihrer Verriegelungsstellung 12'. Sie wurde in diese Stellung durch die Feder 13 gedrückt, wobei der Zahn¬ stangenabschnitt 33 das Zahnrad 31 so verdreht hat, dass sich das Antriebsorgan 32 in der Stellung 32* befindet. Bei dieser Betätigung war also eine drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Zahnrad 31 und Antriebsorgan 32 vorhanden. Wenn nunmehr der Hubschrauber durch Fernsteue¬ rung die Last vom Lasthaken 3 abgeben will, so wird in der eingangs erläuterten Weise über Fernsteuerung der Lasthaken 3 in den Figuren 1 und 3 im Uhrzeigersinn ge¬ schwenkt, so dass das Hakenmaul 8 freigegeben wird und die Last ausser Eingriff mit dem Haken 3 gelangt. Beim nach unten Schwenken des Hakens 3 gelangt der Betäti¬ gungsarm 5 in seine Stellung 5' . Im Bewegungsweg der Rolle 34 liegt das Antriebsorgan 32 in seiner Stellung 32'. Das Antriebsorgan 32 schwenkt hierbei entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn ohne Bewegung des Zahnrades 31, da in dieser Drehrichtung ein Freilauf zwischen Zahnrad 31 und Antriebsorgan 32 wirksam ist. Die Rolle 34 gelangt in ihre Stellung 3 ' , und die Stange 12 befindet sich wei¬ terhin in ihrer Verriegelungsstellung 12'. Nach Abgeben der Last drückt die Gasfeder 11 den Betätigungsarm 5 und damit auch den Lasthaken 3 wieder in die in Fig. 3 mit vollausgezogenen Linien gezeigte Stellung. Die Rolle 34 schlägt hierbei auf das in der Stellung 32' be¬ findliche Antriebsorgan und schwenkt dieses in die mit vollausgezogenen Linien gezeigte Stellung. Hierbei ist eine drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Antriebsorgan 32 und Zahnrad 31 vorhanden, so dass hierdurch das Zahnrad 31 gedreht wird und die Stange 12 in ihre Nicht-Betriebs¬ stellung gegen die Kraft der Feder 13 bewegt wird. Der als Stange 12 ausgebildete Riegel wird also in seineThe rod 12 is still in its locked position 12 '. It was pressed into this position by the spring 13, the rack section 33 having rotated the gear 31 so that the drive member 32 is in the position 32 *. With this actuation, there was a rotationally fixed connection between gear 31 and drive member 32. If the helicopter now wants to release the load from the load hook 3 by remote control, the load hook 3 in FIGS. 1 and 3 is pivoted clockwise in the manner explained at the beginning, so that the hook jaw 8 and the load are released disengaged from the hook 3. When the hook 3 is pivoted downwards, the actuating arm 5 moves into its position 5 '. In the movement path of the roller 34, the drive member 32 is in its position 32 '. The drive member 32 pivots counterclockwise without moving the gear 31 because in this direction of rotation, a freewheel between gear 31 and drive member 32 is effective. The roller 34 comes into its position 3 ', and the rod 12 is still in its locking position 12'. After releasing the load, the gas spring 11 presses the actuating arm 5 and thus also the load hook 3 back into the position shown in full lines in FIG. 3. The roller 34 strikes the drive element located in the position 32 'and swivels it into the position shown with solid lines. In this case, there is a non-rotatable connection between the drive member 32 and the gear 31, so that the gear 31 is thereby rotated and the rod 12 is moved into its non-operating position against the force of the spring 13. The bar designed as a rod 12 is thus in his
Nicht-Betriebsstellung bewegt, während der Lasthaken 3 in seine Betriebsstellung bewegt wird. In der Nicht- Betriebsstellung der Stange 12 nach Fig. 1 und bei ab¬ gegebener Last schnappt der Vorsprung 17 des Rückhalte- organs 16 wieder in die Ringnut 15 nach Fig. 1 ein. Der Lasthaken 3 ist nunmehr bereit, eine neue Last aufzu¬ nehmen, da die Sperrklinke 9 in Fig. 1 so weit nach oben geschwenkt werden kann, dass das Hakenmaul 8 ganz frei ist. Non-operating position moves while the load hook 3 is moved into its operating position. In the non-operating position of the rod 12 according to FIG. 1 and with a given load, the projection 17 of the retaining member 16 snaps back into the annular groove 15 according to FIG. 1. The load hook 3 is now ready to accept a new load, since the pawl 9 in FIG. 1 can be pivoted upwards so far that the hook jaw 8 is completely free.
