  • the cable is insulated in the autoclave dried and soaked with a liquid impregnating agent, in particular insulating oil. The quality of the sheathing corresponding to the desired requirements becomes reached when the cable with a predetermined speed and with a specified tensile force is drawn into the press.
  • the object of the invention is as defined in the claims to provide a cable routing device of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which compliance with the specified parameters is always with great certainty is guaranteed.
  • Each section can have a sensor system regarding the location of the cable and / or a force acting on the cable can be monitored. Will during this monitoring detected an excessive position or force deviation, so can this deviation is compensated for by suitable control of the drum drive and can cause undesirable large fluctuations in speed and the effective pulling force when pulling the cable into the Cable processing device regardless of the diameter of the cable or its Avoid leaving the cable.
  • the cable drum can therefore with horizontal, vertical or an axis in between be arranged.
  • Cable sections can be monitored independently of each other the cable routing device according to the invention by a particularly high Operational safety.
  • One in a downstream cable processing device The intended wrapping process can therefore be carried out with great precision become.
  • the cable is spatially separated from one another in at least one of the two Sections applied with an additional force, which in one of the drum facing section a small compared to the predetermined tensile force or in a section facing the cable processing device on the other hand, there can be a large amount of pretension, so that the force acting in both locally separated places is particularly easy to detect and can be used particularly advantageously for controlling the drum drive.
  • the part of the cable processing system shown in Figure 1 contains an autoclave 1, which receives a cable drum 2 rotatable about a vertical axis. A the rotation of the cable drum 2 causing shaft 3 is vacuum-tight Implementation with an electric arranged outside the autoclave 1 Drive 4 connected.
  • the autoclave has a pressure-tight or vacuum-tight housing 5 on with an obliquely upward, tapering nozzle Housing attachment 6.
  • the housing attachment 6 runs into a vertically guided flange out. This flange is part of a flange connection 7.
  • the counter flange of the Flange connection 7 is part of a guide housing 8, which essentially corresponds to the housing attachment 6, but with regard to the flange connection 7 is arranged mirror-symmetrically to it.
  • the guide housing 8 runs on his right end in a flange, which is part of a flange connection of the Guide housing 8 with a cable processing device 9 is.
  • the housing attachment 6 and the housing 8 are part of a cable routing device 10.
  • the cable routing device 10 enables a uniform unwinding for example, for the transmission of high voltage, unshielded Cable 11 with a diameter of typically 5 to 10 cm from the Cable drum 2 and ensures that the cable 11 with a predetermined Speed and predetermined tensile force to a cable entry 12 of the Cable processing device 9 is performed.
  • the uncovered cable is in device 9 11 provided with an envelope. For this step it is desirable that the uncovered cables with specified speed and specified tensile force is guided to the input 12 of the cable processing device 9.
  • the cable routing device 10 has, between an outlet 13 of the cable 11 from the drum 2 and the cable inlet 12, a guide element for suspending the cable 11 which is arranged higher than the cable outlet 13 and the cable inlet 12 and is designed in the manner of a saddle 14 .
  • a cable section 15 ascending in the manner of a (dotted) chain line K 15 is formed
  • a cable section 16 is descending in the manner of a (also dotted) chain line K 16 .
  • the chain lines reflect the position of the cable in the cable sections 15 and 16 when the cable is loaded with the speed and tensile force specified by the cable processing device 9.
  • the chain line K 16 is flatter than the chain line K 15 , since the cable in the cable section 16 is exposed to a considerably greater tensile force than in the cable section 15 because of the friction to be overcome in the saddle 14.
  • the position of the cable 11 and / or the force acting on the cable 11 is detected with the aid of two sensor systems 17, 18 (each shown schematically as a circle), of which the sensor system 17 monitors the cable section 15 and the sensor system 18 monitors the cable section 16.
  • the sensor systems 17 and 18 preferably detect the direction and / or the location coordinates of the cable 11 and have an incremental and / or a displacement sensor for this purpose.
  • the ascending cable section 15 is preferably subjected to a slight supporting force in its region located in the middle.
  • the cable is then led upwards from its position defined by the chain line K 15 and then assumes the position shown in broken lines in the figure. Depending on the effective tension, the cable can then fluctuate within a defined range around this position.
  • the supporting force is generated with a hollow arm 19 guiding the cable of a preferably hydraulically or pneumatically actuated supporting device 20 and detected by a force transducer contained in the sensor system 17.
  • the descending cable section 16 is preferably subjected to a pretensioning force that is large in relation to the supporting force in its region located in the middle.
  • the cable is then led downward from the chain line K 16 and is in the position shown in dashed lines in the figure. Depending on the effective tension, the cable can then fluctuate within a defined range around this position.
  • the pretensioning force is generated with an arm 21 pressed onto the cable by a preferably hydraulically or pneumatically actuated positioning device 22 and detected by a force transducer contained in the sensor system 18.
  • Secure routing of the cable 11 in the falling cable section 16 not far from the Flange 80 is by an above or by a below the cable arranged and respectively bent away from the cable guide plate 81 and 82nd reached.
  • the operation of the guide device is as follows: After a process step carried out in the autoclave 1, in which the uncovered cable 11 is dried and soaked with a liquid impregnating agent, such as insulating oil, the cable 11 is, in turn with the auxiliary rope, through the Arm 19, pulled over the saddle 14 and through the arm 21 to the input 12 of the cable processing device 9 and acted upon with the tensile force specified during normal operation of the cable processing device.
  • the arms 19 and 21 are positioned with the positioning devices so that they rest on the cable practically without force.
  • the cable sections 15 and 16 then each have the shape of the chain lines K 15 and K 16 .
  • the positioning device 20 applies the low supporting force to the cable in the cable section 15 and guides it into the position shown in broken lines in the figure.
  • the arm 19 has defined spatial coordinates and is perpendicular to the drawing plane by an angle ⁇ with respect to the vertical and by an angle ⁇ which cannot be seen in the figure and which is dependent on the position of the cable outlet 13 to the plane of the drawing.
  • the positioning device 22 acts on the cable in the cable section 16 with the pretensioning force, which is large compared to the supporting force, and guides it into the position shown in broken lines in the figure.
  • the upper end of the arm 21 has defined spatial coordinates and the part of the cable located between the upper end of the arm 21 and the saddle 14 forms an angle ⁇ with the vertical in the plane of the drawing.
  • the angles ⁇ and ⁇ as well as the supporting force and the pretensioning force are stored as setpoints in the control and regulating device 25.
