Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable guiding device particularly for a winch.
  • Winches are currently used which comprise a drum which can be turned in order to wind thereon a cable, which is fixed by means of one of its ends to the lateral surface of the drum.
  • the portion of the cable that protrudes from the drum is typically made to pass through one or more guiding elements, constituted for example by one or more pulleys, and can be fixed, by means of its free end, to a body to be moved.
  • the cable winds onto the drum and forms turns which are arranged sequentially longitudinally with respect to such drum and are arranged on a plurality of superimposed layers as winding proceeds.
  • the turns are arranged more or less uniformly depending on the degree of tension of the cable and on the angle formed between the axis of the drum and the portion of cable that is incident thereon, and become more regular as such angle approximates a right angle.
  • the turns formed by the cable on the drum are often uneven: large empty spaces can form between them, and the turns may also overlap, and this limits the portion of cable that can be wound onto the drum and further entails a high risk of wear and/or pinching of the cable, which can reduce greatly its lifespan.
  • the unevenness of the winding is further increased by the fact that the tension on the cable is not constant due to the possible obstacles on the path along which the body is drawn.
  • so-called cable guides are used and applied to the cable between the drum of the winch and the first guiding element that such cable encounters.
  • a first known type of cable guiding device is constituted by a sheave, the rotation axis of which is approximately parallel to the rotation axis of the drum; such sheave is supported rotatably at a first end of at least one arm, which is pivoted at its second end to a rotation axis which is substantially perpendicular with respect to the rotation axis of the drum and is arranged approximately at the centerline thereof; the sheave can therefore move on a plane which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum, tracing a circular arc whose radius is equal to the length of the arm that supports it.
  • the cable that exits from the drum is made to pass through the sheave before passing through the guiding pulley; during the winding of the cable, the sheave, moved by the movement of the cable axially with respect to the drum, moves along a circular arc, keeping the angle between the axis of the drum and the portion of cable that is incident thereon sufficiently close to a right angle approximately over the entire length of the drum.
  • the arm that supports the sheave must be considerably long in order to ensure a large radius of curvature for the path of such sheave.
  • a second known type of cable guiding device is constituted by a cylindrical shaft, which can rotate freely with respect to its own longitudinal axis and is approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum; a helical groove is formed on its lateral surface and has a pitch which depends on the diameter of the cable and on the dimensions of the drum; the cable that leaves the drum of the winch is associated with the groove formed within said shaft and is thus guided by it so that it keeps approximately right, substantially in any position, the angle between the axis of the drum and the portion of cable that is incident thereon.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a device which allows to wind a cable onto the drum of a winch, obtaining turns which are very compact and uniform, regardless of the dimensions of the cable.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device which can be applied to a plurality of winches of the known type.
  • Another object is to provide a device which does not require frequent maintenance thereof.
  • Another object is to provide a device which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a cable guiding device particularly for a winch comprising a drum on which it is possible to wind and unwind selectively a cable, characterized in that it comprises an elongated guide which has a curved profile in plan view which lies, during use, on a plane which is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of said drum, and with which a slider is slidingly associated, said slider supporting rotatably a pulley with which said cable is associable, said guide being arrangeable above said drum and approximately parallel thereto.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a cable guiding device, particularly for a winch 2 which comprises a drum 3 on which a cable 4 can be wound and unwound selectively.
  • the drum 3 is supported rotatably between two appropriately provided known supports 5.
  • the drum 3 is connected, by means of appropriately provided known mechanisms, not shown in the figures, to a power source, also not shown, which is adapted to turn the drum 3 with respect to its longitudinal axis.
  • the device 1 comprises a laminar elongated guide 6, which has a curved profile in plan view; the guide 6 is arranged between the supports 5 along an axis which is approximately parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum 3; advantageously, the guide 6 has an approximately rectangular shape in transverse cross-section.
  • the guide 6 has, in plan view, a profile which lies on an arc of an ellipse in which the foci, once the guide is associated with the supports, lie advantageously on a straight line which is substantially parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drum 3.
  • the guide 6 can be positioned, during use, above the drum 3 and approximately parallel thereto and has, at its ends, two tabs, designated respectively by the reference numerals 7a and 7b, which are advantageously shaped approximately like a parallelepiped, protrude transversely from the guide 6 and lie substantially on the same plane of arrangement as said guide.
  • the tabs 7a and 7b may have the chosen shapes and can be fixed to the supports 5 for example by welding or adhesive bonding or bolting or riveting or other known means for fixing respectively their lower and/or lateral surfaces to the supports 5.
  • the tab 7a is provided with first holes 8, which are formed along axes which are approximately perpendicular to the plane of arrangement of the guide 6; the second tab 7b is provided with one or more second holes 9, which are formed along axes which are approximately perpendicular to the first holes 8; suitable screws for locking to the supports 5 can be inserted in the first holes 8 and in the second holes 9.
  • a slider 10 is associated axially and slidingly with the guide 6 and is constituted by two half-shells 12a and 12b, which are mutually mirror-symmetrical and have an external lateral surface which is substantially circular; a recess 13 is formed axially and eccentrically at the mutually facing surfaces of the two half-shells 12a and 12b and has such a shape as to allow an at least partial accommodation of the guide 6 therein.
  • Said wheels interact with the convex lateral surface of the guide 6.
  • the wheels 16 are made of a plastic material which has self-lubricating characteristics.
  • the half-shells 12a and 12b are associated with the guide 6 by arranging said guide in the first recess 13, with the interposition of two complementarily shaped sliding blocks 17.
  • the sliding blocks 17 are made of a plastic material which has self-lubricating characteristics.
  • Two mutually parallel grooves 18 are formed on the outer lateral surface of the half-shells 12a and 12b and lie on a circumference in which the center is the longitudinal axis of the slider.
  • a bearing 19 is advantageously associated coaxially with respect to the slider, between the grooves 18, and is kept in position by two first elastic rings 20, which can be associated with the grooves 18.
  • the bearing 19 supports rotatably a substantially cylindrical pulley 21, which is provided with a radial race 22 which accommodates the cable 4.
  • the pulley 21 is kept in position by means of a second elastic ring 23, which can be associated with an appropriately provided receptacle 24, which is formed annularly with respect to a lateral surface of the pulley 21; on the opposite side, the inside diameter of the pulley 21 is reduced, so as to form an abutment 25 for the perimetric edge of the bearing 19.
  • the device of the invention is therefore as follows: with reference to the accompanying figures, after assembling the device 1, the device is associated proximate to the drum 3 and above it, fixing the tabs 7a and 7b of the guide 6 to the lateral supports 5.
  • the cable 4 that extends from the drum 2 is arranged on the race 22 of the pulley 21 and is then sent to an appropriately provided guiding element of a known type, which is constituted for example by a sheave, not shown in the accompanying figures; the free end of the cable 4 can therefore be fixed, either directly or after optionally passing through additional known types of guiding element, to a body to be moved by means of the winch 2.
  • the cable 4 is arranged thereon, forming turns which are arranged sequentially longitudinally with respect to the drum 3, moving the pulley 21, which thus performs a longitudinal translational motion with respect to the guide 6, keeping the portion of the cable 4 that is incident to the lateral surface of the drum 3 substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis thereof over its entire length; in this manner, the turns formed by the cable 4 are very compact and uniform.
  • the particular curvature of the guide 6, which is preferably elliptical, causes the motion of the slider 10, and therefore of the pulley 21 rotatably supported thereby, to be scarcely susceptible to the influence of any forces transmitted to the pulley 21 by the cable 4, thus ensuring great compactness and uniformity of the turns even if, for example, the body to be moved slides over a very rough surface.
  • the wheels 16 and the sliding blocks 17 ensure optimum mating between the slider 10 and the guide 6, improving the uniformity of the motion of the slider 10 and therefore of the pulley 21 with respect to the drum 3 and therefore contributing to further improving the uniformity of the turns.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, a cable guiding device having been provided which allows to achieve high compactness and uniformity of the turns formed by a cable during its winding onto the drum of a winch.
  • the cable guiding device according to the invention thanks to the particular curvature of the guide, is affected to a minimum extent by any irregularities of the tension applied to the cable, ensuring the formation of very compact and uniform turns substantially in any condition.
  • the cable guiding device according to the invention is very compact and solid, can be applied easily to ordinary known types of winch, and does not require frequent maintenance.
  • wheels and sliding blocks made of self-lubricating material allows to limit the use of lubricant in the couplings of the various elements of the device according to the invention.
