Definitions

  • the invention relates to a winch type called capstan, including two drums.
  • the invention also relates to the application of such a winch to the so-called "Off-shore” type technologies, generally to petroleum research or similar industries, oceanography and dredging at great depths, etc.
  • Capstan winches simple drum or double drum, have existed for a long time, but have the disadvantage of causing very quickly wear of the driven cable. This is due to the very principle of operation. Indeed the cable is driven by adhesion. As the tension on the cable increases, the cable lengthens and its linear speed increases accordingly. The drive grooves which are provided with the drums of the winch being completely rigid, this results in a relative sliding between the cable and the grooves, resulting in significant wear, and cable, and grooves.
  • winches There are also many types of winches. Known including drum winches (s) mentioned above, capstan, or type called “winch traction” according to the English terminology, and multiple pulleys.
  • the pulley for transmitting a pulling force to a cable.
  • the pulley comprises a wheel and an endless belt wound on the peripheral surface of the wheel to support the cable to be driven.
  • the endless belt is constituted by a succession of spaced pads that can slide with friction on the wheel, each pad being connected to the next by an elastically extensible connecting element, whose longitudinal elastic modulus and / or the dimensions are chosen such so that, in use, the elongation of the endless belt corresponds to that of the cable under a determined maximum voltage.
  • winches capable of driving very heavy loads, typically equal to or greater than 200 T (about 1960 kN), in very deep waters (2000 m to 3000 m, or even 10000 m for some applications).
  • T about 1960 kN
  • winches of this type would deteriorate too quickly.
  • cables have a complex structure. Indeed, with the conventional function of traction or load retention, it is sometimes devolved to cables ancillary functions: energy transport, for example electrical (so-called electro-carrying cables), or transmission of analog or data signals digital, for example via internal optical fibers (so-called opto-carrier cables). It is understood that this type of cable is particularly expensive and that premature wear is not economically acceptable.
  • energy transport for example electrical (so-called electro-carrying cables), or transmission of analog or data signals digital, for example via internal optical fibers (so-called opto-carrier cables). It is understood that this type of cable is particularly expensive and that premature wear is not economically acceptable.
  • the invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of devices of the prior art, some of which have just been recalled, while meeting the needs that are felt, in particular according to claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a winch which makes it possible, in particular, to lift large loads by means of a cable, while substantially eliminating the slippage due to the elongation of the cable driving said loads, which makes it possible to avoid premature wear.
  • the winch according to the invention implements the technique, known per se, the drive type said two-drum capstan. It is a safe technique, and recognized as such, which allows to enjoy its benefits.
  • the aforementioned rings are provided with peripherally machined grooves in which the cable to drive.
  • the material constituting the rings must have physico-chemical characteristics that allow it to withstand the loads and pressures exerted for a given application, as well as to deform to lengthen the same value as the cable under the same conditions.
  • the friction characteristics must be such that they can safely drive the cable through the drum. No relative movement between the cable and the ring grooves therefore exists. By cons, the body of the ring must be able to slide on the drum (very low relative movement due to elongation).
  • the rings are advantageously offset axially by a fraction of a step, advantageously by a half step, the step being defined by the distance separating the bottom of the grooves from two adjacent rings of the same drum.
  • the axes of the two drums may not be parallel, to further limit friction.
  • the axes form between them an angle of small amplitude, typically between 0.5 ° and 3 °.
  • the number of drums is two, it is possible to design winches with a larger number of drums, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the invention therefore has for its main object a winch of the capstan type, comprising at least two drums arranged facing each other, causing a load via a cable wound on said drums in a predetermined number of turns, characterized in that each of said drums comprises a peripheral wall and is provided with a predetermined number of peripheral rings of elastic material, independent of each other, threaded around said peripheral wall, in that said peripheral rings are provided, each , a peripheral groove for receiving said cable, and in that the elastic material constituting said peripheral rings is provided with physico-chemical characteristics such that it allows both a drive of said cable and a relative slip between a lower wall of said peripheral rings in contact with said peripheral wall of the drums and this wall, said slide relative sation being of amplitude substantially equal to longitudinal deformations undergone by said cable, when it is subjected to voltages of variable amplitudes.
  • the invention also relates to the application of such a winch to oil or similar research in deep water, for the descent and / or the rise of significant loads.
  • the figure 1 schematically illustrates the winch 1, in high view and in partial section.
  • This winch 1 comprises two subassemblies each essentially comprising a driving motor, 6 and 7, respectively, and a driving drum of a cable C, 2 and 3, respectively.
  • the drums, 2 and 3 are provided with central rotary shafts, 20 and 30, respectively, about axes of rotation ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 .
  • the shafts 20 and 30 are hollow and concentric with driving shafts 60 and 70 driven by the respective motors 6 and 7.
  • the drums, 2 and 3 comprise a cylindrical peripheral wall, 22 and 32, respectively, supported by at least two central radial pieces (two per drums in the example described), 24 and 34, respectively.
  • Pairs of side rings, 21a-21b and 31a-31b, are arranged on either side of the peripheral walls, 22 and 32.
  • peripheral walls, 22 and 32 form with the pair of side rings associated therewith, 21a-21b and 31a-31b, respectively, a groove which will be referred to hereinafter as "throat of a drum ".
  • a series of independent peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55 are threaded onto the peripheral walls 22 and 32 in the aforementioned drum grooves, respectively.
  • These rings are made of elastic material, for example a synthetic material.
  • peripheral rings 43 to 45 are substantially planar so as to be in intimate contact with the peripheral walls 22 and 32 (FIG. figure 1 ), drums, 2 and 3.
  • Peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55 ( figure 1 ), are provided with machined grooves also at the periphery, two of which are visible on the figure 2 : 4 40 and 450, for the respective rings 44 and 45.
  • These grooves, 440 and 450 preferably having the shape of a "V" rounded at its bottom, are intended to receive the drive cable C.
  • the dimensions are naturally adapted for receiving a type of cable or a range of separate cables.
  • peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55 are easy. It is only necessary that the pairs of side rings, 21a-21b and 31a-31b, (at least one of the rings of each pair) are removable, that is to say, removable. It is then enough to thread the peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55, on the drums, 2 and 3, around the cylindrical walls, 22 and 32, and to reassemble the lateral rings, 21a-21b and 31a-31b .
  • the side rings, 21a-21b and 31a-31b may be secured to the side walls by any suitable means: screws, etc.
  • the number of rings, 40-45 and 50-55 can be any, it depends only on the number of turns (turns) desired for the cable C around the drums, 2 and 3. It is this number of turns which will constitute the determining factor of the force reduction obtained, in accordance with the well-known operating principle of a capstan.
  • a number of peripheral rings of between five and seven or more.
  • the figure 3 schematically illustrates the operation of a winch 1 according to the embodiment illustrated by the figures 1 and 2 .
  • the cable C is wound in the grooves (440 and 450, figure 2 ) peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55, so as to form several loops or turns around the drums, 2 and 3.
  • the output voltage force F can be, for example, 9 T (88 kN approximately) for an input voltage F 'at the input of 3 kN.
  • the cable C is wound up / unwound on or from a storage device (not shown).
  • This member may be chosen from those commonly used in the state of the art and it is unnecessary to describe it further.
  • the material constituting the peripheral rings, 40-45 and 50-55 must be able, at the same time, as was recalled in the preamble of the present description, to support the loads and pressures exerted, deform to lie along with the cable C. In addition, it must have friction characteristics that allow to drive the cable C safely, friction (adhesion).
  • rings 40-45 and 50-55, a synthetic material of polyurethane type, polyethylene or similar.
  • peripheral walls, 22 and 32, drums, 2 and 3 can be made, in particular, stainless steel or ceramic coated steel, which will ensure the aforementioned adhesion.
