Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable braking and backward tension device and in particular to a device for providing a braking and backwards pulling force to an advancing cable for linear position sensors for self-propelled robots.
  • a cable on a spool commonly has been used for a precision measurement of a self-propelled robot position.
  • the spool is attached to a stand and the free end of the cable to the robot.
  • the cable unwinds from the spool and by measuring the length of the unwound cable the distance from the stand to the robot can be measured.
  • the cable length may be measured by measuring the rotation angle of the spool.
  • Such a device may further comprise an angle sensor to determine the robot's position on a plane, or two angular sensors if the robot position needs to be determined in space.
  • the U.S. patent No. 5,236,144 discloses a cable extension linear position transducer, where a spool is attached to a spring providing a tension force to the cable.
  • This solution enables to prevent formation of the cable curvature.
  • This device has the following disadvantages.
  • First is an uncontrollable non-linear character of the provided tensions force, which is the function only of length of the cable advanced from the spool. Thereby the device cannot respond to fast sudden changes in measuring distance that may cause unwanted curvature of the cable and errors in measurements.
  • Second is inability to change the spring without disassembling the device. While the device itself might be used under different measuring setups, the tensions force cannot be adjusted without mechanical change of the spring.
  • a cable braking device is disclosed in the patent EP 0440246 B1 , which provides two stage breaks: a mechanical and eddy current brakes. Both are motion dependant, which means that the applied breaking force and the resulting cable tension force is a function of the cable advancing speed.
  • This braking device is universally applicable for any cable, which is pulled out from the spool.
  • the main disadvantage of this device is its cable tension force, which depends on the spool rotation speed. It means that, while the cable is advanced slowly, the cable tension force is low.
  • the U.S. patent No. 6,543,152 describes a measuring cable travel sensor that includes a housing accommodating a measuring cable drum and a rotary spring urging the cable drum in the direction of winding a measuring cable thereon.
  • Several braking magnets are arranged on the housing to provide for magnetic control of the rotary movement.
  • An eddy current produced in the drum prevents an excessive acceleration of the cable drum.
  • the provided tension is not enough and thus causes cable to curve, which consequently causes the decrease of measurement precision. Therefore, apart from having additional protection from excessive acceleration of the cable drum this sensor does not provide any substantial improvement over a traditional spring powered sensors.
  • the patent application GB 795 085 A disclosed an apparatus for exerting a substantially constant tension in a moving wire or filament comprising a carrier for the wire that include a part made of metal, and being free to rotate, one or more magnets disposed with their pole pieces adjacent the metallic part of the carrier, and means for rotating the magnet or magnets at a speed much highter than that of the carrier and in a direction opposite to that of the carrier.
  • the magnet rotates magnetic lines of force from the magnet cut the metal currier and generate eddy currents, the magnetic field associated with which reacts with the field due to the magnet to produce a torque tending to reduce the relative motion between the magnet and the carrier.
  • This apparatus is capable of producing a constant tension in a moving wire when the wire is pulled out from the carrier.
  • US 7 331 436 B1 discloses a self-propelled robot position measuring apparatus comprising a cable braking and backward tension device for providing a braking and backward pulling force to a cable.
  • a braking and backward pulling arrangement consisting of a cable spool, a brake disk with permanent magnets attached to it and an actuator, which can rotate the brake disk in relation to the spool with variable rotation speed.
  • the spool is made of paramagnetic material.
  • the most useful advantage of the proposed device is a possibility to provide constantly adjusting the drug forces and, as a consequence, the cable tension.
  • Another useful advantage of the proposed device is a possibility to set the level of drug forces and, as a consequence, the cable tension, tailoring it to particular usage modes.
  • cable is intended to encompass all linear structures, such as wires, yams, bands, strands, ropes and the like.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a device embodying the current invention and Figure 3 is the same device as in Figure 2 shown in a partial section revealing the inner construction of the device.
  • the spool position sensor 1 is attached to the device stand 2.
  • the spool 3 is mounted on a shaft 8, which is supported for free rotation in relation to the stand 2.
  • the spool position sensor 1 is attached, which can be used to determine the length of the cable 4 advanced from the spool 3.
  • the brake disk 5 is supported by another shaft 9.
  • the actuator 6 is also supported by the shaft 9, which allows the actuator to rotate the brake disk 5 at a speed set by a speed controller 10.
  • the shafts 8 and 9 do not depend on each other, allowing the brake disk 5 and spool 3 to rotate with any speed difference relative to each other.
  • a set of permanent magnets 7 is attached to the brake disk 5, which in case of relative speed difference between the brake disk 5 and the spool 3 that is made of ferromagnetic or paramagnetic material generates eddy currents in the spool 3.
  • the generated in the spool 3 eddy currents provide a force that affects the spool 3 rotation in the same direction as the break disk 5 rotates.
  • the actuator 6 rotates in the opposite direction of the cable advancing direction, then it produces a substantially unchanging tension of the cable 4.
  • the cable 4, which is coiled on the spool 3 can be advanced out of the spool or wound into the spool using only the produced tension force.
  • the tension force of the cable 4 is increased accordingly.
  • This effect provides means to react on a sudden increase of the cable 4 advancing speed in a way that brake disk 5 rotation speed relative to the spool 3 rotation speed increases accordingly and thereby increases generated tension force of the cable 4 acting as a brake preventing the cable 4 from fouling.
  • the generated cable 4 tension force may be adjusted to particular measuring environments by adjusting actuator 6 rotation speed. It is done by the tension force controller 10 providing control signals to the actuator 6 through control lines 11.
  • the torque transfer device 12 is an eddy current clutch formed by the brake disk 5 and the spool 3.
  • the length of the cable 4 advanced from the spool 3 is determined by the sensor 1, which submits the length data to the tension force controller 10 through the signal line 13.
  • the tension force controller 10, using the data about the length of advanced cable 4, adjusts the rotation speed of the actuator 6 through the control connections 11.
  • the cable 4, which is coiled on the spool 3 can be advanced out of the spool or pulled into the spool only using the produced tension force.
  • the tension force produced by the eddy current clutch 12 on the cable 4 is increased accordingly.
  • L l + l 2 ⁇ g 2 24 ⁇ ⁇ 2 + l 5 ⁇ g 4 384 ⁇ ⁇ 4
  • L a total length of the cable advanced from the spool
  • I a measuring distance without sag
  • g a specific load of the cable caused by its own weight only
  • the tension force control rule can be derived from only the second component of the catenary equation: l 2 ⁇ g 2 24 ⁇ ⁇ 2 because it provides sufficient precision in most cases. To implement the tension force control rule any appropriate controller component may be used.
  • the device embodying the current invention may be advantageously applied, for example, in the following application domains:

  • Aviation & Aerospace Engineering (AREA)
