Abstract

A cable guide for longitudinally, transversally or vertically movable cables, wires or strands is provided with at least one holder (2) and with a guide member (3) fastened thereto, on which guide member the respective cable (5), the wire or the strand can be supported. The guide member is formed by a running roller (3) rigidly or rotatably mounted on the holder (2) or by a deflection part produced from a specific material. Thus, in the event of an incident, the friction of the cable can be minimized and, as a result, the life of the cable can be increased and its strength can be better utilized.

Description

Seilführung für längs-, quer- bzw. höhenbewegliche Drähte, Litzen oder Seile Cable guide for longitudinally, transversely or vertically movable wires, strands or ropes
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Seilführung für längs-, quer- bzw. höhenbewegliche Drähte, Litzen oder Seile nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cable guide for longitudinally, transversely or vertically movable wires, strands or ropes according to the preamble of claim 1.
Seile dieser Art, vor allem Tragseile, werden beispielsweise in Auffangnetzen von Steinschlagverbauungen eingesetzt, um das Netz in seiner Auffangposition zu halten und bei einem Einschlag die auftretenden Kräfte zu den Verankerungen weiterzuleiten. Dabei werden die in den Trag- seilen montierten Energieabsorptionselemente gedehnt und somit die Tragseile verlängert, wobei sie mehr Bremsweg freigeben und über die Halterungen an den Stützenköpfen und- füssen laufen.Ropes of this type, especially suspension ropes, are used, for example, in safety nets of rockfall barriers, in order to hold the net in its catching position and, in the event of an impact, to forward the forces occurring to the anchorages. At the same time, the rope-mounted energy absorption elements stretched, thus extending the support cables, releasing more braking distance and run over the brackets on the support heads and feet.
Eine Anlage dieser Art ist in der Druckschrift EP 1 516 964 beschrieben. Dort sind für die Seile Seilführungen in der Gestalt von zwei mit Abstand zueinander an einem Stützkörper drehfest befestigten Tragbolzen und einem zwischen diesen drehfest angeordneten Querbolzen vorgesehen. Die Seile bzw. Seile sind gegen die zylindrische, ellipsoide, gerundete oder polygonförmige Mantelfläche der Bolzen abstützbar. Beim Aufprallen eines Steines auf das Netz verschieben sich dann die Seile bzw. Seile und reiben dabei an den drehfesten Bolzenelementen der Seilführung. Diese Reibung und die damit verbundene Hitzeentwicklung führen zu einer Beschädigung der Seile bzw. sogar zu einer Festigkeitsreduktion derselben.A plant of this type is described in the document EP 1 516 964. There are provided for the ropes cable guides in the form of two spaced from each other on a support body rotatably mounted support bolts and a rotationally fixed between them arranged transverse bolt. The ropes or cables can be supported against the cylindrical, ellipsoidal, rounded or polygonal lateral surface of the bolts. When a stone hits the net, the ropes or cables then move, rubbing against the non-rotatable bolt elements of the cable guide. This friction and the associated heat development lead to damage of the ropes or even to a reduction in strength of the same.
Es ist ausserdem bei den bekannten Seilführungen nachteilig, dass die drehfesten Bolzen mit eher kleinem Durchmesser den Seilen eine sehr begrenzte Abstützfläche bieten können, was zu grossen Querdruckkräften führen kann. Die dort entstehende Reibung ist dadurch besonders kritisch für die Lebensdauer der Seile.It is also disadvantageous in the known cable guides that the non-rotatable bolts with a rather small diameter can provide the ropes a very limited support surface, which can lead to large transverse pressure forces. The resulting friction is therefore particularly critical for the life of the ropes.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Nachteile zu beheben und eine Seilführung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die Reibung des Seiles minimiert und/oder die Abstützfläche maximiert und dadurch dessen Lebensdauer und Festigkeitsausnützung heraufsetzt.The invention has for its object to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a cable guide of the type mentioned, which minimizes the friction of the rope and / or maximizes the support surface and thereby increases its life and strength utilization.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass das Führungsglied der Seilführung durch eine an der Halterung drehbar gelagerte Laufrolle gebildet ist. Auf diese Weise bewegt sich das Seil (bzw. der Draht oder die Litze) praktisch reibungslos über die Rolle, insbesondere bei einer Längsbeanspruchung des Seils. Aber auch bei einer Querbean- spruchung des Seils ist die entstehende Reibung durch die grossere Abstützfläche minimal.This object is achieved in that the guide member of the cable guide is formed by a rotatably mounted on the support roller. In this way, the rope (or the wire or the strand) moves virtually smoothly over the roller, especially at a longitudinal stress of the rope. But even with a transverse As a result of the stress on the rope, the resulting friction due to the larger support surface is minimal.
Um diesen vorteilhaften Effekt weiter zu steigern, ist die Laufrolle zweckmässigerweise aus gehärtetem Stahl oder einem anderen Werkstoff mit vergleichbarem Reibungskoeffizient hergestellt.To further increase this advantageous effect, the roller is conveniently made of hardened steel or another material with a comparable coefficient of friction.
Die Erfindung sieht ferner vor, dass die Halterung der Seilführung ein kardanartiges Gelenk aufweist, in dessen einer Gelenkhälfte die Laufrolle gelagert ist, während die andere Gelenkhälfte an einem die Seilführung tragenden Stützkörper anbringbar ist. Die Laufrolle ist dadurch in allen drei Dimensionen schwenkbar. Damit kann sie sich je nach Richtung der wirksamen Kräfte so ausrichten, dass auf das Seil praktisch nur die längsgerichtete Komponente dieser Kräfte wirksam ist. Dadurch ist die Reibung zwischen Laufrolle und Seil unabhängig von der Richtung der jeweils wirkenden Kräfte minimal.The invention further provides that the holder of the cable guide has a cardan-like joint, in which one joint half the roller is mounted, while the other joint half is attachable to a supporting the cable guide support body. The roller is thereby pivotable in all three dimensions. Thus, it can be aligned depending on the direction of the effective forces so that practically only the longitudinal component of these forces is effective on the rope. As a result, the friction between the roller and rope is minimal regardless of the direction of each acting forces.
Anstelle eines Seils können auch andere biegeweiche Zugelemente (z.B. Drähte, Litzen, Drahtbündel, etc.) verwendet werden. Für die Laufrolle sind auch ähnliche drehbare Elemente (z.B. zylindrisch geformt oder po- lygon-prismenförmig). Zudem sind auch, je nach Anwendung, nicht oder schwer drehbare Teile als Laufrolle möglich, da der grossere Durchmesser die Seilauflagefläche ebenfalls günstig beeinflusst.Instead of a rope, other flexible tension members (e.g., wires, strands, wire bundles, etc.) may also be used. The roller also has similar rotatable elements (e.g., cylindrically shaped or polygonal prismatic). In addition, depending on the application, not or difficult to turn parts as a roller possible because the larger diameter also affects the rope support surface favorable.
Um diese Konstruktion auch als Mehrseilführung zu verwenden, ist es gemäss der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass in der am Stützkörper anbringbaren Gelenkhälfte mehrere Laufrollen tragende Gelenkhälften aufgehängt sind.To use this construction as a multi-cable guide, it is provided according to the invention that a plurality of rollers bearing hinge halves are suspended in the articulated half mounted on the support body.
In Sinne einer einfachen und soliden Konstruktion sind beide Gelenkhälften erfindungsgemäss bügeiförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Laufrolle auf einem zwischen den Schenkeln der einen Gelenkhälfte befestigten BoI- zen drehbar ist. Dieser kann auch mit einer Sollbruchstelle versehen sein, an welcher der Bolzen bei einer definierten Sollbruchlast zerstörbar ist. Anstelle dieser Bolzen können auch Schrauben oder ähnliche Elemente verwendet werden. Das hat bei Steinschlagverbauungen den Vorteil, dass beim Aufprall eines Steines auf das Netz das Seil erst bei Erreichen der Sollbruchlast sich vom Stützkörper lösen kann.In the sense of a simple and solid construction, both joint halves are designed according to the invention in the form of a bow, wherein the roller is mounted on a bow which is fastened between the legs of one joint half. zen is rotatable. This can also be provided with a predetermined breaking point at which the bolt is destructible at a defined breaking load. Instead of these bolts also screws or similar elements can be used. This has the advantage in the case of rockfall barriers that, when a stone hits the net, the rope can only come loose from the support body when the predetermined breaking load has been reached.
Es ist ferner gemäss der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass beide Gelenkhälften durch marktübliche Schäkel oder durch andere Verbindungselemente gebildet sind, deren Schäkelbolzen als Lager für die Laufrolle bzw. als Befestigungsmittel für die am Stützkörper anbringbare Gelenkhälfte dienen.It is further provided according to the invention that both hinge halves are formed by conventional shackles or other fasteners whose shackles serve as a bearing for the roller or as a fastener for attachable to the support body hinge half.
Um die Abstützfläche des Seiles zu vergrössern, ist es auch im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich, die Laufrolle als Laufrad mit Kontur auszubilden und dieses mit einer Ringnut zu versehen, deren Profil dem Seilquerschnitt angepasst ist.In order to increase the support surface of the rope, it is also possible within the scope of the invention to design the roller as an impeller with contour and to provide this with an annular groove whose profile is adapted to the cable cross-section.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand zweier Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:The invention will be described below with reference to two embodiments with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Fig. 8 einen Teil eines schematisch dargestellten Auffangnetzes.Fig. 8 shows a part of a safety net shown schematically.
Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigte Seilführung 1 besteht aus einer HaI- terung 2 und einem daran befestigten Führungsglied in Gestalt einer Laufrolle 3 mit einer zylindrischen Mantelfläche 4, auf der ein Seil 5 abgestützt ist, welches als bewegliches, biegeweiches Zugelement vorgesehen ist, bei dem es sich auch um Draht oder um eine Litze oder ähnlichem handeln kann.The cable guide 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 consists of a support 2 and a guide member fastened thereto in the form of a roller 3 with a cylindrical outer surface 4 on which a cable 5 is supported, which is provided as a movable, flexible tensile element. which may also be wire or a strand or the like.
Die Halterung 2 setzt sich aus zwei ineinandergreifenden Schäkeln 6, 7 mit Schäkelbolzen 8 bzw. 9 zusammen. Sie bilden die bügeiförmigen Gelenkhälften eines kardanartigen Gelenks 10, in dessen einer Gelenkhälfte 6 die Laufrolle 3 drehbar gelagert ist, während die andere Gelenkhälfte 7 an einem die Seilführung 1 tragenden Stützkörper 11 befestigt ist. Die Schäkelbolzen 8, 9 dienen dabei als Lager für die Laufrolle bzw. als Befestigungsmittel für die am Stützkörper 11 angebrachte Gelenkhälfte.The holder 2 is composed of two interlocking shackles 6, 7 with shackles 8 and 9 together. They form the bow-shaped joint halves of a cardan joint 10, in which one joint half 6, the roller 3 is rotatably mounted, while the other joint half 7 is fixed to a supporting the cable guide 1 supporting body 11. The shackles 8, 9 serve as a bearing for the roller or as a fastener for the attached to the support body 11 hinge half.
Die Laufrolle 3 ist aus gehärtetem Stahl hergestellt, dessen Reibungskoeffizient im Kontaktbereich zwischen Seil und Laufrolle vorteilhaft ist. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Werkstoffe mit vergleichbaren Reibungskoeffizienten anwendbar.The roller 3 is made of hardened steel, the coefficient of friction in the contact area between the rope and the roller is advantageous. Of course, other materials with comparable coefficients of friction are applicable.
Die für die Halterung 2 verwendeten Schäkel 6 und 7 sind marktübliche normierte Bauteile, kostengünstig erhältlich und, da geschmiedet, stabil. Je nach Stärke des Seils sind sie in den dazu passenden Grossen verfügbar. Es ist leicht, die Konstruktion der Halterung 2 der jeweiligen Seilstärke mit Hilfe von entsprechend dimensionierten Schäkeln anzupassen.The shackles used for the holder 2 6 and 7 are commercially available normalized components, inexpensive and, since forged, stable. Depending on the strength of the rope, they are available in the appropriate sizes. It is easy to customize the construction of the bracket 2 of the respective rope strength with the help of appropriately sized shackles.
Durch die Verwendung von Schäkeln für die Gelenkhälften 6 und 7 wird auch der Zusammenbau der Seilführung und deren Befestigung an den Stutzkörper 11 sehr erleichtert. Bei der Ausführung nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist die Befestigung starr. Der Schäkel 7 ist mit beiden Schenkeln durch den Stützkörper 11 geführt und innenseitig mit dem dazugehörigen Schäkelbolzen 9 arretiert. Bei der Ausführung nach den Figuren 5 bis 7 ist der Schäkel 7 am Stützkörper 11 schwenkbar, wobei die Schwenkachse durch den Schäkelbolzen 9 gebildet ist.Through the use of shackles for the joint halves 6 and 7 and the assembly of the cable guide and its attachment to the Supporting body 11 much easier. In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the attachment is rigid. The shackle 7 is guided with both legs through the support body 11 and locked inside with the associated shackle pin 9. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 7, the shackle 7 is pivotable on the support body 11, wherein the pivot axis is formed by the shackle pin 9.
Beim Schäkel 6 dient der Schäkelbolzen 8 als leicht ein- und ausbaubare Drehachse der Laufrolle, so dass man im Bedarfsfall die Laufrolle ohne nennenswerten Aufwand auswechseln kann.When shackle 6 of the shackle pin 8 serves as an easily installable and removable axis of rotation of the roller, so that you can replace the roller without any significant effort if necessary.
Bei der Ausführung nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 sind beide Schäkel 6 und 7 identisch ausgebildet. Bei der Ausführung nach den Figuren 5 bis 7 ist der Schäkel 7 kleiner als der die Laufrolle 3 tragende Schäkel 6 dimensioniert. Bei der Mehrseilführung gemäss Figur 4, bei der am Schäkel 7 zwei Schäkel 6 mit Laufrollen 3 aufgehängt sind, ist er dagegen grosser als die Schäkel 6 dimensioniert. Mit dieser Anordnung ist es möglich, gleichzeitig zwei Seile mit einer einzelnen Seilführung so zu führen, dass für beide die vorstehend beschriebenen Vorteile der Erfindung wirksam sind.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, both shackles 6 and 7 are identical. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 7, the shackle 7 is dimensioned smaller than the shackle 6 carrying the roller 3. In the multi-cable guide according to FIG. 4, in which two shackles 6 are suspended with rollers 3 on the shackle 7, on the other hand, it is larger than the shackles 6. With this arrangement, it is possible to simultaneously guide two cables with a single cable guide so that both of the advantages of the invention described above are effective for both.
Bei der Ausführung nach den Figuren 5 bis 7 ist anstelle der Laufrolle 3 ein Laufrad 12 mit einer dem Querschnitt des Seils 5 angepassten Ringnut 13 vorgesehen. Diese dient dazu, die Abstützfläche des Seiles zu vergrössern und auch zu verhindern, dass das Seil mit den Schenkeln des Schäkels 6 in Kontakt kommt. Das Laufrad 12 ist ein Gussteil mit induktionsgehärteter Ringnut.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 7, instead of the roller 3, an impeller 12 having an annular groove 13 adapted to the cross section of the cable 5 is provided. This serves to increase the support surface of the rope and also to prevent the rope comes into contact with the legs of the shackle 6. The impeller 12 is a casting with induction hardened annular groove.
Die erfindungsgemässe Seilführung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Seil auf der Laufrolle unabhängig von der Richtung der wirkenden Kräfte praktisch reibungslos geführt wird. Dazu dient auch die kardangelenkartige Halterung der das Seil abstützenden Laufrolle. Die praktisch rei- bungslose Seilführung verhindert eine verschleissbedingte Beschädigung des Seils und trägt damit dazu bei, die Lebensdauer des Seiles zu verlängern.The inventive cable guide is characterized by the fact that the rope is guided practically smoothly on the roller regardless of the direction of the forces acting. This is also the cardan-like support of the rope supporting the roller. The practically non-contact cable guidance prevents damage to the rope due to wear, thereby helping to extend the service life of the cable.
Gemäss Fig. 8 ist ein Teil eines Auffangnetzes 20 als Steinschlag-, La- winenverbauung oder ähnliches veranschaulicht, bei welchem das ein andeutungsweise gezeigtes Netz 26 auf der Oberseite haltende Laufbzw. Tragseil 25 via solche erfindungsgemässe Laufrollen 23 von Seilführungen 21 gehalten ist. Dieses Seil 25 ist mit seinen Enden an je einer Verankerung 29 befestigt und es ist ein bekannter Bremsring 28 in diesem integriert. Bei einem Impact beispielsweise von Steinen wird das Seil 25 durch das Netz 26 talabwärts gezogen. Mit Hilfe dieser Laufrollen 23 ist dann gewährleistet, dass auf das sich einerseits in seiner Längsrichtung und andererseits quer dazu bewegende Seil 25, wie oben ausführlich erläutert ist, eine minimale Reibung entsteht und es daher länger haltbar ist.According to FIG. 8, a part of a safety net 20 is illustrated as a rockfall, load barrier, or the like, in which the network 26, which is shown in a suggestive manner, has running or holding on the upper side. Supporting cable 25 is held by such inventive rollers 23 of cable guides 21. This rope 25 is attached with its ends to an anchor 29 and it is a known brake ring 28 integrated in this. In an impact example of stones, the rope 25 is pulled through the net 26 down the valley. With the help of these rollers 23 it is then ensured that on the one hand in its longitudinal direction and on the other hand transversely thereto moving rope 25, as explained in detail above, a minimal friction occurs and therefore it is more durable.
Anstelle einer Laufrolle kann auch ein feststehendes Umlenkteil verwendet werden, welches mit einer Abstützfläche mit einer gebogenen Form, z.B. rund, ellipsoid, polygonal oder ähnlichem sein könnte und vorteilhaft aus einem Material mit einer hohen Druckfestigkeit (vorteilhaft härter als das darauf laufende Seil) besteht, einer harten und glatten Oberfläche (vorteilhaft härter als das darauf laufende Seil) und/oder einer geringe Wärmeleitfähigkeit (möglichst geringer Reibungskoeffizient zwischen dem laufenden Seil und der Oberfläche) und/oder einer minimalen spezifischen Wärmekapazität hergestellt ist. Als spezifisches Material für dieses Umlenkteil eignet sich zum Beispiel gehärteter Stahl, korrosionsbeständiger Graphit, Granitstein oder ähnlichem. Selbstverständlich könnte dieses Umlenkteil auch aus einem normalen Material bestehen und mit einer entsprechenden abriebfesten Beschichtung versehen sein, die während dem Laufen des Seils verhindert, dass das Seil und die Umlenkstelle miteinander in Kontakt geraten. Dieses Trennmaterial (bei- spielsweise abriebfester Kunststoff) könnte dabei beschädigt oder sogar zerstört werden, da es sich um ein Wartungsteil handeln würde. Dieses Umlenkteil wäre vorteilhaft ebenfalls gelenkig an dem jeweiligen Stützkörper oder dergleichen gehalten, so ähnlich wie die Laufrolle zum Beispiel gemäss Fig. 5.Instead of a roller can also be a fixed deflecting part can be used, which could be with a support surface with a curved shape, for example round, ellipsoidal, polygonal or the like and advantageously consists of a material with a high compressive strength (advantageously harder than the rope running thereon), a hard and smooth surface (advantageously harder than the rope running thereon) and / or a low thermal conductivity (the lowest possible coefficient of friction between the running rope and the surface) and / or a minimum specific heat capacity is produced. As a specific material for this deflection is suitable, for example, hardened steel, corrosion-resistant graphite, granite stone or the like. Of course, this deflecting could also consist of a normal material and be provided with a corresponding abrasion-resistant coating, which prevents during the running of the rope that the rope and the deflection point come into contact with each other. This release material (at- For example, abrasion-resistant plastic) could be damaged or even destroyed, since it would be a maintenance part. This deflection part would also advantageously be held in an articulated manner on the respective support body or the like, similar to the roller, for example according to FIG. 5.
Es sei hierbei noch erwähnt, dass die Laufrolle im Prinzip auch starr angeordnet sein kann. Sie müsste dann vorteilhaft aus einem Material wie dieses Umlenkteil gefertigt sein. It should be mentioned here that the roller can in principle also be rigidly arranged. It would then advantageously be made of a material such as this deflection.
