Abstract

The material is rolled into the trough via a slope. A transversely tensioned belt (6) on the top of the frame part (2,3) is on a level with the uppermost layer. The belt cooperates with a deflector. A light barrier (17,18), situated at the entry to the trough, emits an impulse causing the belt to drop gradually. The drive part contains at least one further deflector. The drive mechanism has a drum (11) for winding and unwinding the belt.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln von Rohren, runden und Vielkant-Stangen und dergleichen langgestrecktem Material gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for collecting pipes, round and Polygonal rods and the like elongated material according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine gattungsmäßige Vorrichtung ist aus der DE-PS 12 08 238 bekannt. Diese weist eine in einem Rahmen liegende Mulde auf, in die die Rohre über eine Ablaufschräge hineinrollen. In Höhe der obersten Rohrlage ist am Kopf des Rahmens ein Lastband quergespannt, das die in die Mulde hineinrollenden Rohre trägt und entsprechend dem Rohrzufluß schrittweise bis zum Muldengrund absinkt. Dazu ist im Bereich des Rohreinlaufes der Mulde eine Lichtschranke angeordnet, die durch jedes in die Mulde einlaufende Rohr unterbrochen wird, und das durch die Unterbrechung ein Impuls ausgelöst wird, der das schrittweise Absenken des Lastbandes bis zum Muldengrund im Rhythmus des Rohrzuflusses bewirkt. Zur Realisierung dieses Absenkvorganges ist das eine Ende des Lastbandes fest angeordnet und das andere Ende auf einer Rolle aufgespult, die einen Antrieb zum Auf- und Abspulen besitzt.A generic device is known from DE-PS 12 08 238. This points a recess in a frame, into which the pipes are drained roll in. At the top of the pipe there is a load band at the head of the frame cross-tensioned, which carries the pipes rolling into the trough and accordingly the pipe inflow gradually drops to the bottom of the trough. This is in the area of Pipe inlet of the trough arranged a light barrier that passes through each into the trough incoming pipe is interrupted, and the pulse by the interruption is triggered, the gradual lowering of the load band to the bottom of the trough effected in the rhythm of the pipe inflow. To implement this lowering process one end of the load band is fixed and the other end on one Reel wound, which has a drive for winding and unwinding.

Diese bekannte Konstruktion hat den Nachteil, daß der Antrieb für das größte vorhandene Lastmoment ausgelegt sein muß, so daß der Motor entsprechend groß ausfällt.This known construction has the disadvantage that the drive for the largest existing load torque must be designed so that the motor is large fails.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsmäßig ausgebildete Vorrichtung zum Sammeln von langgestrecktem Material anzugeben, die mit einem wesentlich kleineren Antrieb auskommt. The object of the invention is to provide a generic device for Gather elongated material to indicate the essential with smaller drive.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend vom Oberbegriff in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Bestandteil von Unteransprüchen.This task is based on the generic term in conjunction with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. advantageous Further training is part of subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß sind im Antriebsbereich mindestens eine weitere, vorzugsweise insgesamt vier oder mehr Umlenkungen angeordnet. Die Umlenkung kann als starre Zylinderschale oder als drehbare Rolle ausgebildet sein. Unter Anwendung des bekannten Seilreibungsgesetzes gilt für eine aus einer starren Zylinderfläche gebildeten Umlenkung hinsichtlich der Bremskraft und der Motorkraft

S1B =
S01 / eµα und S1M = S02 × eµα
S01 =
Belastung am Gurt in der Sammelmulde bei Befüllung
S02 =
halbes Gurtgewicht beim Aufspulen
µ=
Reibungskoeffizient
S1B =
Bremskraft abwärts
S1M =
Motorkraft aufwärts
α =
Umschlingungswinkel im Bogenmaß
According to the invention, at least one further, preferably a total of four or more deflections are arranged in the drive area. The deflection can be designed as a rigid cylinder shell or as a rotatable roller. Using the known rope friction law applies to a deflection formed from a rigid cylinder surface with regard to the braking force and the motor force
S 1B =
S 01 / e µα and S 1M = S 02 × e µα
S 01 =
Load on the belt in the trough when filling
S 02 =
half the belt weight when winding
μ =
coefficient of friction
S 1B =
Braking force down
S 1M =
Motor power up
α =
Wrap angle in radians

Daraus ergibt sich, daß durch Erhöhung des Umschlingungsgrades die erforderliche Bremskraft S1B am Antrieb reduziert werden kann. Dementsprechend fällt auch der erforderliche Motor sehr klein aus, so daß 1. Kosten und 2. auch Platz gespart wird. Nach der Entleerung der Sammelmulde wickelt der Motor nur den leeren Gurt auf. Bei Befüllung der Sammelmulde wird das Absenken des Gurtes über Lichtschranken und die Motorbremse geregelt, d. h. nur die Bremse des Antriebes nimmt die Gurtbelastung S1B auf.This means that the required braking force S 1B on the drive can be reduced by increasing the degree of wrap. Accordingly, the required motor is also very small, so that 1st cost and 2nd space is saved. After emptying the trough, the motor only winds up the empty belt. When the collection trough is filled, the lowering of the belt is regulated via light barriers and the motor brake, ie only the brake of the drive absorbs the belt load S 1B .

Da für das Aufspulen des Gurtes nach Entleerung der Sammelmulde ausreichend Zeit verbleibt, reicht ein langsam drehender Motor im Bereich von 100 Umdrehungen / Min. aus. Vorzugsweise wird eine Umdrehung von 30 pro Minute gewählt. Die geringe Drehzahl bedeutet geringe Leistung, so daß nur ein kleiner und kompakt bauender Motor für diesen Antrieb erforderlich ist.Sufficient time for winding the belt after emptying the trough a slow rotating motor in the range of 100 is sufficient Revolutions / min. A rotation of 30 per minute is preferably selected. The minor Speed means low power, so that only a small and compact build Motor is required for this drive.

Als Gurt hat sich der Einsatz eines Breitseiles bewährt. Ein Breitseil weist die erforderliche Beweglichkeit auf und ist sehr widerstandsfähig. Alternativ kann der Gurt ein einfaches Seil, ein Metallband, eine Gliederkette, ein Liftgurt oder ein anderes aufwickelbares Mittel sein, welches für die auftretende Belastung ausgelegt ist. Es kann aus verschiedensten Materialien gefertigt sein.The use of a wide rope has proven itself as a belt. A wide rope shows that required mobility and is very resistant. Alternatively, the strap a simple rope, a metal band, a link chain, a lift belt or another be windable means, which is designed for the load occurring. It can be made of different materials.

Von dort rollen bzw. rutschen sie auf die Sammelmulde zu und rollen oder rutschen auf den beliebig gespannten Gurt 6. Bei diesem Vorgang wird der Lichtstrahl 16 von einer Lichtschranke 17, 18 unterbrochen. Sobald der Lichtstrahl 16 längere Zeit ca. 10 sec. unterbrochen ist, bedeutet dies, daß die Sammelmulde bis in den Bereich des Lichtstrahles 16 gefüllt ist und abgesenkt werden muß. Der jetzt hiernach erzeugte Impuls wird an die Motorbremse zum Lösen derselben weitergeleitet. Nach dem Lösen der Bremse kann sich die Trommel 11 im Uhrzeigersinn drehen. Ausgelöst wird die Drehung der Trommel 11 durch die an ihr wirkende Gurtkraft. Das Ablassen des Gurtes 6 erfolgt so lange, bis der Lichtstrahl 16 nicht mehr unterbrochen wird. Danach wird die Bremse des Antriebs wieder angezogen. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich so oft, bis die hier gezeigte Endstellung (blanker Gurt) erreicht ist. Nach Entleerung der Sammelmulde wird die Trommel 11 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn mittels des Motors gedreht und der Gurt 6 wieder in Ausgangsstellung gebracht und beliebig gespannt. Danach steht die Sammelmulde für eine erneute Beladung bereit. Mit dem Motor wird nur der leere Gurt beliebig gespannt.The collecting trough designed according to the invention consists of a base frame 1 and from two frame parts 2, 3 arranged on the right and left in each Frame part 2, 3, a rotatable roller 4, 5 is arranged, over which a belt 6 runs.
