Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical member for moving loads, particularly suitable for being installed on board of boats where it is used, for example, for manueuvring the anchor or sails (in which case it is traditionally called "winch" in the nautical jargon) during navigation and/or during mooring, warping and so on operations.
  • the mechanical member of the invention is typically represented by a winch or by a windlass, while the load that the same mechanical member is responsible for moving is, for example, the anchor or sail of a boat or any other object, tool, device or accessory which can be towed/lifted during normal activity and operation of the boat itself.
  • the mechanical members for moving loads (or weights) used in sectors such as sailing, aeronautics, construction, agriculture and so on typically called winches or windlasses depending on whether used for towing or lifting respectively, are available in a variety of constructive types, many of which exploit potentials of a gear which multiplies the force transmitted by actuator means in order to get the movement of the loads themselves.
  • such a mechanical member of known type comprises an operating, generally cylindrical, drum made of a material with high mechanical strength (e.g. steel or plastic material), suitable to be coupled with a reference structure which is specific to the field of use.
  • a material with high mechanical strength e.g. steel or plastic material
  • the operating drum of the aforesaid mechanical member of the prior art defines a longitudinal, horizontal or vertical, axis which is placed at necessary in rotation around by actuation means which can be, obviously, manual or automatic and that, as said, transmit the force which the load is moved with.
  • Such operating drum is also provided with an outer surface that is actually affected by the winding of the recovery cable of the external device and which is usually, though not exclusively, smooth.
  • a mechanical member of the type here concerned also includes a recovery cable (or rope or chain), provided with a first free end, suitable to be at necessary bound to the load in question, and a second opposite end connected with the operating drum or, more properly, with the relative support frame in such a way that the recovery cable, as result of the force imparted by the actuation means, is at least partly wound/unwound on/from the outer surface of the operating drum.
  • a recovery cable or rope or chain
  • the actuation means belonging to the known mechanical members concerned are of manual or automatic type, in which case are constituted by electric motors or linear actuators of hydraulic or pneumatic type.
  • a first drawback of the mechanical members under consideration of the known type is constituted by the fact that the winding of the recovery cable around the outer surface of the operating drum occurs in a free, irregular and/or disorderly manner, however carefully and slowly performed by the manual or automatic actuation means.
  • main purpose of the present invention is to provide a mechanical member for moving loads, particularly for boats, that, contrary to the equivalent mechanical members of known type, ensures a regular and orderly winding of the recovery cable around the outer surface of the operating drum.
  • a mechanical member such as a winch or a windlass
  • the mechanical member for moving loads, particularly for boats, of the invention ensures a smooth and orderly winding of the recovery cable around the outer surface of the operating drum: this thanks to the presence of the guiding and positioning means which, being operatively connected with the operating drum, progressively interfere with consecutive sections of the recovery cable during the winding/unwinding of the recovery cable on/from the outer surface of the operating drum.
  • the mechanical member of the present invention allows to the recovery cable to keep unaltered its structural and, consequently, functional, integrity under continuous use cycles, longer than similar mechanical members of known type.
  • the mechanical member of the present invention simplifies, thus making it more rapid and practice than the equivalent known art, the reverse manoeuvre of unwinding the recovery cable from the operating drum, especially if it must be done manually by the operator, by means of a handle coupled with the operating drum itself.
  • the operator is thus more free, while the mechanical member of the invention is operating, to engage with the utmost attention and tranquility to the execution of the moving of the load concerned and to the ancillary conditions of the environment of manoeuvre, without the need , however difficult to meet, to verify the state of winding of the recovery cable on the outer surface of the operating drum.
  • the mechanical member for moving loads, particularly for boats which is the object of the present invention, achieves the advantages set out above presenting at the same time a simple construction and low or otherwise competitive production costs.
  • the mechanical member of the invention used for moving loads, is illustrated in figure 1 , where it is globally numbered with 1, in one of the possible application conditions, represented by the inside of the wall M of a boat.
  • the mechanical member 1 of the invention is used for the movement of lifting and/or towing of loads such as objects, devices, tools or accessories which it is necessary to handle for any reason within a boat: the loads to be handled are thus represented by sails, anchors, small pleasure crafts (such as water motorcycles, canoes, rubber boats) and even more.
  • the mechanical member 1 here described includes:
  • actuation means 3 actually belong to the mechanical member 1 and are electrically connected with control means, not visible in the figures which follow but of the type per se known to the man skilled in the art, accessible to the operator and used for automatic actuation of the actuation means 3 themselves.
  • the actuation means 3 comprise any of the automatic actuators selected from the group consisting of electric motor, hydraulic or oil-pressure cylinder and pneumatic cylinder.
  • the actuation means 3 include in this case an electric motor 6 connected by means of a reducer 7 with a drive shaft 8 which, as best seen in figure 3 , is inserted into a first axial through hole 9 of the operating drum 2, which is made integral with through constraint means, indicated as a whole with 10.
  • the drive shaft 8 is inserted into a second axial through hole 11 made in the reducer 7 with which the drive shaft 8 is keyed and made integral by a first interconnection key 12 contained in a first slot 13 made in the outer wall 8a of the drive shaft 8 in such a manner as to partially protrude from such an outer wall 8a.
  • figure 3 shows that preferably but not necessarily they comprise:
  • the inner annular recess 18 in which the auxiliary bushing 17 engages therefore, faces the second axial through hole 11 of the reducer 7 and, if the operating drum 2 is considered as a separate component, communicates with the outside.
  • auxiliary bushing 17 is coupled with the first face 14a of the laminar flange 14 through junction means, comprising for example an annular line of welding.
  • the drive shaft 8 is in this case provided substantially near the intermediate zone 8b and in the outer wall 8a with an annular projection 23, well visible in figure 4 , contrasting, at one side, with the first interconnection key 12 and, at the opposite side, with an annular spacer 24, made for example of polymeric material, interposed between the annular projection 23 and the laminar flange 14 which is disposed close against from opposite sides.
  • the annular projection 23 is made in single piece, directly by means of turning, with the drive shaft 8.
  • the support means 25 include:
  • each shaped bracket 28, 29 defines a development plane substantially orthogonal to the development plane defined by the main strike plate 26.
  • the shaped brackets 28, 29 are arranged near the first end 26a of the main strike plate 26 in such a way that a first shaped bracket 28 is the outermost one and faces the side edge 26c of the main strike plate 26 and a second shaped bracket 29 is the innermost one and faces the central zone 26d of the main strike plate 26.
  • the auxiliary plate 30 is, in turn, arranged near a second end 26b, opposite to the first end 26a, of the main strike plate 26 and, together with the second innermost shaped bracket 29, laterally delimits the intermediate containment space of the operating drum 2.
  • the drive shaft 8 includes:
  • the main strike plate 26 presents a through slit 36 which, as it is well observed in figures 1 and 2 , allows the passage of the recovery cable 4 for the connection with the load and the traction/release of the load itself during its winding/unwinding on the operating drum 2.
  • the operating drum 2 is provided with a drive endless screw 37 defining a helical groove 38 which extends along the longitudinal axis Z for the entire length of the operating drum 2 and receives consecutive sections of the recovery cable 4 during its winding, where it remains blocked by the guiding and positioning means 5.
  • the operating drum 2 is provided at the second side edge 2c with a friction head 39 projecting from the outer surface 2a of the operating drum 2 in such a way that the outer face 39a of the friction head 39 results close to the inner face 30a of the auxiliary plate 30 of the support means 25; preferentially, the friction head 39 is formed monolithically with the drive endless screw 37 of the operating drum 2, as clearly shown in figure 3 .
  • the guiding and positioning means 5 include an operating block 40 provided with an axial through nut screw 41 in which the drive endless screw 37 engages in such a manner that the operating block 40 slides along the aforesaid longitudinal axis Z and progressively interfere with consecutive sections of the recovery cable 4 contained into the helical groove 38 when the operating drum 2 is set in rotation around the longitudinal axis Z by the actuation element 3.
  • the operation block 40 is coupled with the second shaped bracket 29 and the auxiliary plate 30 through, by way of pure example, guide means, indicated as a whole with 42, which support the operating block 40 and substantially surround the operating drum 2.
  • the guide means 42 preferably comprise four longitudinal slide columns 43 space apart and parallel each other, arranged around the operating drum 2 according to the vertexes of a hypothetical square, as clearly highlighted by figure 4 .
  • Each of the longitudinal slide columns 43 is first of all provided with ends constrained on one side, to the second shaped bracket 29 and, on the opposite side, to the auxiliary plate 30, in both sides through third fastening means, as a whole numbered with 44 and of the type per se known to the person skilled in the art.
  • Each of the longitudinal columns 43 is then inserted into a peripheral through hole 45 made in the operating block 40 according to a linear axis Z' parallel to the longitudinal axis Z defined by the operating drum 2 and, consequently, by the axial through nut screw 41 of the operating block 40 itself.
  • the guide means could comprise a number of longitudinal sliding columns spaced apart and parallel each other different from that one described above and illustrated in the drawings, this number could vary depending on the constructive choices starting from two.
  • the mechanical member 1 of the invention also includes an auxiliary guide pulley 46, arranged and operating downstream the operating drum 2 which it cooperates with in such a way as to receive consecutive sections of the recovery cable 4 during winding/unwinding of the recovery cable 4 itself, ensuring as more aligned and in tension position as possible thereof at the output of the drive endless screw 37 of the operating drum 2.
  • auxiliary guide pulley 46 is idle and is rotatably coupled with a shaped plate 47 fixed to the inner side wall 40a of the operating block 40 which the guide pulley 46 is thus structurally and operatively integral with.
  • the mechanical member 1 of the invention is firmly fixed to the boat by coupling the main strike plate 26 close to the inner part of the wall M of the boat itself through the second fastening means 27; obviously, at the mechanical member 1 and, more precisely, at the through slit 36 of the main strike plate 26, the wall M of the boat presents an appropriate through access mouth B.
  • the electric motor 6 of the actuation means 3 is electrically connected with the control means available to the operator on board of the boat, for example inside the control cabin.
  • the operator When the mechanical member 1 of the invention is required for use in the nautical field, for moving any permissible load, the operator unwinds the recovery cable 4 from the operating drum 2 for a length suitable for the manoeuvres to be carried out and connects the free end of the recovery cable 4 to the load itself.
  • the recovery cable 4 is moved in effectively way and without any mishap by the actuation means 3 according to a suitable aligned position at the point of detachment of the recovery cable 4 from the operating drum 2 and at its release to the outside through the through slit 36.
  • the main advantage brought by the mechanical member 1 of the invention is realized in the winding phase of the recovery cable 4 around the outer surface 2a of the operating drum 2 which, as seen before, comprises in this specific case the drive endless screw 37.
  • the presence of the guiding and positioning means 5 allows to keep stably and neatly successive sections of the recovery cable 4, which progressively winds around the outer surface 2a of the operating drum 2, in the helical groove 38 defined by the drive endless screw 37, avoiding uncontrolled, unplanned, improper and therefore very risky and/or dangerous seat escapes and those overlapping or kinks of the recovery cable 4, which can be instead typically and easily found in similar mechanical members of the prior art.
  • advancing of the operating block 40 along the longitudinal axis Z is imparted by the rotation in a given direction of the drive endless screw 37 (or involute screw), belonging to the operating drum 2, meshing or engaging in the axial through nut screw 41 of the operating block 40 itself.
  • winding of the recovery cable around the outer surface of the operating drum is more regular, precise and uniform than what happens in similar mechanical members currently used for moving loads or weights.
  • versions of the mechanical member of the invention alternative to that one described above, not shown, could provide that the actuation means are of the manual type so that the rotation of the operating drum is impressed by the hand of a user by means of a special handle connected with the operating drum itself.
  • the mechanical member for moving loads could be associated with any reference structure and thus result suitable to use even in fields different than the nautical one: for instance, the mechanical member of the invention could be used even in helicopters provided at Public Administration institutions for the above rescue of people from difficulty or danger setting.
