Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of steel cables traction and lifting high performance, for example for carrying out lifting or drawing operations.
  • the present invention thus relates to an improved traction cable, as well as a method for improving a towing and lifting cable in the state of the art.
  • each outer metal strand comprises a central core made of steel wire and sometimes of synthetic fiber or non-deformable plastic material which serves as a support for the outer wires
  • One of the aims of the present invention is therefore to overcome these disadvantages by providing a traction and lifting cable whose mechanical performance is improved.
  • a traction and lifting cable comprising, in known manner, internal metal strands twisted together, and at least one layer of external metal strands twisted around said inner metal strands.
  • Each outer metal strand comprises a central core of deformable plastic material.
  • said outer metal strands are crushed and flattened, so that the constituent wires of each outer strand are arranged in at least two layers, arranged in contact with each other, and in alignment with the at least two corresponding layers of adjacent outer strands, said central core of each outer strand having migrated to fill the interstices present between said two layers and between said constituent wires of each outer strand.
  • such a cable includes increased internal and external contact surfaces.
  • the external contact surface that is to say the surface which is for example in contact with the groove of a pulley or a drum, is increased relative to the cables of the state of the art. Indeed, the free spaces between the outer strands present in the cables of the state of the art, are now occupied.
  • the clean metal section of the cable according to the invention is also increased.
  • the cable according to the invention comprises a greater mechanical strength and has a better flexibility.
  • Such a cable also allows, during use in traction and lifting, to bring the stress on the external son, so that these son deteriorate before the internal components of the cable. This provides additional security in cable control.
  • the behavior of the traction and lifting cable according to the invention is significantly improved over those of the prior art, both in the situations of alternating bending in situations of change of direction.
  • the outer surface of the cable is regular and cylindrical.
  • the internal metal strands are twisted together around a core of steel or plastic or synthetic fibers.
  • the central core of the outer strands is either polypropylene or polyamide or equivalent, or is made from an assembly of synthetic fibers (polyester, polypropylene or other fibers suitable for migration under the pressure of the steel wires).
  • a plastic material is impregnated therein, between the inner metal strands and the outer metal strands.
  • the geometric structure of the cable remains unchanged.
  • the impregnation techniques well known to those skilled in the art are then compatible with the cable according to the invention.
  • the impregnation of the cable also makes it possible to protect the core of said cable, to increase its anti-gyratory structural stability when it comes to rotationally resistant cables, and to homogenize the operation of all the components of said cable, in particular the radial connection of its internal and external components, for all types of cable construction.
  • Each wire or strand may have respectively a different wiring angle and wiring direction.
  • the internal metal strands are twisted together in a first direction of rotation, and the outer metal strands are twisted around the inner metal strands in a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first.
  • the invention also relates to a method for improving a traction and hoisting rope comprising internal metal strands twisted together, and at least one layer of external metal strands twisted around said inner metal strands.
  • each outer metal strand comprises a central core of deformable plastic material.
  • said method consists in carrying out a rotary hammering operation of the circumference of said cable so as, on the one hand, to crush and flatten the outer metal strands so that the constituent wires of each outer strand conform to the least two layers, in contact with each other, and in alignment with the two corresponding layers of adjacent outer strands, and secondly, to migrate the central core of said outer strands so that it fills the interstices present between said two layers and between said constituent son of each outer strand.
  • an improved traction and lifting cable is achieved by maintaining the original quality of the cable and without creating internal indentations between the components of said cable.
  • the amplitude of the deformation of the outer strands to become flat, remains lower than the capacity of deformation of their central core. This deformation remains within the plastic crushing limit of the outer metal strands.
  • the hammering is rotary and longitudinal, and performed simultaneously over the entire circumference of the cable.
  • Rotary hammering allows precision in diameter with unequaled tolerance compared to other technologies with a small dispersion, in particular more or less maximum 1%, and stable.
  • the rotary hammering operation is compatible with all types of impregnation (hot extrusion: polypropylene and other materials mentioned, or cold impregnation type polyurethane).
  • the hammering is successive and continuous over the entire length of the cable.
  • a traction cable (C) well known in the state of the art is of the type comprising internal metal strands (2) twisted in a first direction of rotation about a central core (3).
  • the central core (3) is formed in particular by a ring made of plastic or synthetic fibers or another support made of steel or other metal such as aluminum wire or equivalent (mild steel, zinc, etc.)
  • Such a cable (C) also comprises at least one layer of outer metal strands (4) twisted in a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first for anti-roundabout cables.
  • each metal strand (2, 4) is constituted by a plurality of twisted wires (2a, 4a).
  • Each outer metal strand (4) comprises a central core (5) deformable plastic material, such as a plastic of the polypropylene type, or polyamide or equivalent, or consists of an assembly of synthetic fibers.
  • the cable (1) according to the invention from such a cable (C) of the state of the art, it is necessary to hammer its circumference to crush and flatten the outer metal strands in an orderly manner (4).
  • the hammering is in particular rotary and performed simultaneously over the entire circumference of said cable (C).
  • the hammering is also successive along the length of said cable (C) in a regular and constant advance of said cable.
  • the hammering is carried out by dies of shape adapted to the final diameter of the cable allowing a precise control of the amplitude of the crushing. The dies rotate around the cable during longitudinal scrolling at a constant speed.
  • outer metal strands (4) are completely flattened and flattened so that the metal wires (4a) constituting each outer metal strand (4) are arranged in two or more layers. Moreover, the two layers are in contact with each other, and are aligned with the two layers of the adjacent outer metal strand (4).
  • each outer metal strand (4) After hammering, the central core (5) of each outer metal strand (4) has deformed and migrated to fill the interstices present between said two layers and between said metal wires (4a) constituting each outer metal strand (4).
  • the cable (1) according to the invention can be impregnated with a plastic material (6) of the polypropylene, polyurethane, polyethylene or equivalent type, ... or other type polyamide (Nylon® or Rilsan®) according to a technique well known to those skilled in the art, and for example by extrusion or cold impregnation.
  • the plastic material (6) is advantageously impregnated before the hammering operation and between the inner metal strands (2) and the outer metal strands (4).
  • a traction and lifting cable (1) is thus obtained whose external surface is regular and cylindrical, and whose mechanical performance is very much improved compared with that of the traction cables (C) of the current state of the art.
