Definitions
- the invention relates to an abseiling device for braking a load guided on a rope lo, which can be fastened to the abseiling device, in which the cable passes through the abseiling device in a friction-driven manner over a distance.
- Such a device is already known from DE 10 2006 009 332 Al.
- the cable in addition to the friction-guided path for i5, the cable is provided with a brakable shaft to which the cable is pressed with a predeterminable contact pressure.
- This abseiling device thus has the advantage that the brake of the shaft can be made small, because the brake of the shaft is supported by a friction-guided path in their braking work. The possibility of adjusting the contact pressure with which the rope against the
- the object of the invention is to provide a rappelling device which automatically adapts to the weight of the load to be roped off and thus can be used without manual intervention for a large range of load weights.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that at least a portion of the friction-guided path is moved relative to a housing 12 of the abseiling device via a load-free starting position. bares part is performed, which generates a dependent on the weight of the load friction force on the rope with attached load.
- the abseiling device has the advantage that the load weight leads to a specific deflection or displacement of the movable part, which automatically adjusts a frictional force acting on the rope, which enables a speed-controlled abseiling of the load. For heavier
- Loads is the generated friction force greater than lighter loads. With the abseiling device according to the invention, therefore, loads of, for example, 30 kg to 200 kg can be lowered without requiring manual adjustment of the corresponding frictional force.
- the movable part can exert a frictional force on the cable by pressing the cable against a non-moving surface of the abseiling device.
- the distance between the movable part and the non-moving surface in the region of the cable feedthrough can be increased or decreased.
- the cable it is possible for the cable to undergo a deflection through the non-moving surface in the area of the path traveled over the movable part, and for the friction force to be adjusted as a function of the load on the deflection.
- the non-moving surface is the surface of a brakable shaft.
- the frictional force can be automatically adjusted to the load weight by changing the contact force of the cable against the shaft, changing the contact surface of the cable and / or changing the angle of wrap of the cable by the movable part.
- the brakable shaft is braked via a centrifugal brake.
- Centrifugal brakes can be formed compactly and safely on the braked shaft and prevent a rope from passing through the abseiling device at too high a speed.
- the braked shaft may have a small diameter, whereby high speeds at Ab- Brakes arise. This allows the use of relatively small centrifugal brakes.
- the load-free starting position of the movable part may be a central position 5, in which no or only a small frictional force can be exerted on the cable by the movable part.
- the movable part When the movable part is positioned in this middle position, for example, after the use of the abseiling device, the cable can be pulled through the abseiling device almost without friction for winding.
- the friction-guided path is formed as a channel in the abseiling device, wherein the channel has a smaller diameter than the cable passed through the abseiling device, and / or the rope is repeatedly deflected via rollers and / or bolts from its gravity-guided direction and / or the rope is guided through the abseiling device through an i5-twisted channel, in particular meandering or serpentine.
- the friction-guided path can be structurally different designed to support the braked shaft. It is important in this
- the cable can be curved on this route via rigid bolts, mounted rollers, through bottlenecks and / or more or less over guide elements curved by the Abseilvorrich-
- cooling elements such as slots may be provided on the device if necessary.
- the rollers and / or bolts have a roughened outer surface and / or a material layer as the outer surface 3o, which have a relation to the selected cable material increased friction coefficient.
- the friction-guided path can be a three-dimensional path, d. H. extend not only in one plane but also perpendicular to it. This has the advantage that the required frictional force for the rope can be applied even with a very small housing of the abseiling device. The necessary changes in the direction of the rope, which produce the required frictional force, can then also be realized in housings which are only approximately hand-sized.
- the braking device on a rope reservoir. This has the advantage that the abseiling device can be designed for specific applications in advance and made ready for use.
- the rope reservoir can store the length of rope which is necessary to safely release a person or a load from the highest point of a building to the ground.
- the device according to the invention can be completely pre-installed, d. H.
- the rope is fastened, for example, via a hook at the highest point of a building, and the cable itself has the abseiling device with a load opening, by means of which a load, if it is fastened there, can be safely lowered to the ground over a large height can.
- the rope can be designed as a plastic rope or as a steel cable or as a fiber composite rope.
- the fiber composite rope can be made with and without fibers of high-strength materials.
- the abseiling device according to the invention it is also possible to use other cables with any metal materials and fiber composite materials.
- the abseiling device can be used in pendulum mode, that is, the housing, which is traversed by a controlled braked rope is fixedly secured to a holding element and at both ends cable loads can be rappelled in shuttle operation.
- an i5 handwheel can be formed in the housing, via which the braking effect of the shaft can be influenced, for example, by a centrifugal brake until it is completely blocked.
- a centrifugal brake until it is completely blocked.
- the person can stop the abseiling process at any desired altitude 20 and re-initiate it by blocking the centrifugal brake via the handwheel or releasing it again. If the centrifugal brake is blocked by pressing the brake pads so strongly on corresponding braking surfaces in the housing that cable movement in the housing is no longer possible, then the rappelling person has both hands free for further activities. If the abseiling process 25 is to be continued, the centrifugal brake is released again by turning the handwheel back, and the abseiling process can be continued.
- Figure 1 shows a Abseilvoroplasty invention in sectional view in a highly schematic representation with a pivotable part in load-free center position.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the abseiling device according to FIG. 1 with the load suspended in pendulum operation;
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of an abseiling device according to the invention, likewise in a sectional view with attached load and cable feed from a rope reservoir;
- Fig. 4a, 4b is a partial section through the braked shaft of the abseiling device of Fig. 1 with centrifugal brake and handwheel.
- Fig. 1 shows a descender 10 with a housing 12 in which a cable 14 is passed through the abseiling device 10.
- the abseiling device 10 has a breakthrough opening 20, to which a knewseilende load or seat belts of a person can be attached, which are to be lowered by means of the Abseilvorides 10 from a higher point to a lower point.
- the opening 20 can also be used for fastening the device 10 when used in pendulum mode (see FIG.
- the abseiling device 10 has a friction-guided path 22, which borders directly on a brakable shaft 24, which is braked via a centrifugal brake.
- a portion of the friction-guided path 22 leads via a movable, here a pivotable part 25 which is rotatably mounted on the housing 12 on an axis 26.
- the pivotable part 25 In the position shown in Fig. 1, the pivotable part 25 is in its load-free starting position, here a center position from which it is pivotable in both directions.
- the pivotable part 25 has two jaws 28 which form a portion of the friction-guided path 22 between itself and the brakable shaft 24, which is arranged fixedly on the housing 12.
- the frictional force exerted on the cable 14 in this section of the path 22 is minimal.
- the cable 14 can easily be pulled through the housing 12 by hand.
- Another portion of the path 22 is located below the plane of the drawing, d. H. runs on the back of the housing 12.
- the housing 12 can be built with very small dimensions.
- Fig. 2 now shows the abseiling device 10 in pendulum operation use. Due to the symmetrical design of the housing 12 and the pivotable part 25 and the distance 22 for the rope, the abseiling device 10 can also be used in pendulum operation.
- the housing 12 is attached to the passage opening 20 at a location 30 from which it is intended to be lowered.
- Thescientseilenden loads 16 are alternately attached to one of the two ends of the rope, in the example shown on the left end of the rope.
- Thequoseilenden loads 16 are alternately attached to one of the two ends of the rope, in the example shown on the left end of the rope.
- Through the load 16 now pivots both the housing 12 and the pivotable part 25 such that the load 16 depends approximately below the attachment point 30. This results in a load-dependent resultant force on the jaw 28, which presses the cable 14 against the shaft 24.
- the weight of the load 16 thus determines with which contact pressure the cable 14 is pressed against the shaft 24. Accordingly strong the rope 14 is braked on its way through the housing 12. The pivotal movement of the part 25 is limited by stops 29 on the housing 12. Against this runs a nose 31 of the pivotable part 25, which can be used at the same time for manually influencing the deflection angle of the pivotable part 25 ble.
- the cable 14 is tracked from above from a rope reservoir, not illustrated here, to the abseiling device 10.
- One end of the i5 rope 14, indicated here by the arrow 33, is thereby fastened at the point from which the load is to be lowered. This can be, for example, on a building part, a window frame or the like.
- the load, indicated by the arrow 34, however, is now fastened in the opening 20. By the attached load 34, it comes again to a pivoting of the housing 12th
- the abseiling device 10 may be closed by a cover, not shown here, wherein it is expedient if the lid is pivotally mounted on the housing 12 in order to be able to open it easily for insertion of the cable 14.
- the lid For closing the lid, it may be provided with an opening which can be brought into coincidence with the passage opening 20 of the housing 12.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b a partial section through the shaft 24 is shown, on which a centrifugal brake 51 is arranged.
- the centrifugal brake 51 has at least one flyweight 53, which is provided on its outer side with a friction lining 54.
- an air gap between the friction lining 54 and a brake drum is present, ie, the shaft 24 can rotate unrestrained.
- the centrifugal weight is carried to the outside and comes with its friction lining 54 to rest against the brake drum 52 and thereby brakes the shaft 24 from ( Figure 4b).
- the brake can also be actuated by a hand wheel 50 which is screwed onto the brake drum 52 from the outside and can be further screwed onto the shaft 24. If this is done by the user of the abseiling device, for example in order to be able to reduce the abseiling speed which is automatically set by the centrifugal brake or to be able to stop during abseiling, then a conical pressure plate 55 arranged on the inside of the handwheel 50 pushes the centrifugal weight 53 outwards against the abseiling device Drum 52 and thus triggers a braking operation regardless of the speed of the shaft 24.
- Fig. 4b shows the handwheel 50 in the screwed state in which it shuts off the shaft 24 via the brake 51.
