Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of constructional details in forest winches, more precisely to the field of guiding mechanisms for precise leading of a rope during its winding and/or unwinding onto a drum of a winch.
- the technical problem is constructional solution of a guiding arm for a wire rope, which will enable controlled winding of a rope onto a drum in a winch.
- the rope must be wound so that coils on the drum will be placed one next to another (side by side) without any crossings or overlaps.
- Weight of the guiding arm has a lever arm with regard to the rotation axis, therefore the arm can spin-stagger, which results in momentum of gravity force around the rotation axis.
- the force in the rope is not always sufficient to overcome the momentum, therefore the arm does not move along the longitudinal axis of the drum, which results in the rope being unequally wound along the whole width of the drum, so that it is wound in a pile or one coil on top of the others.
- the task and objective of the invention is to eliminate the fundamental problem of winding a rope onto a drum.
- Slovene patent no. 24108 discloses a solution »Forestry winch with controlled winding of traction rope and protection thereof overload «.
- Rope winding in this winch is performed in a controlled manner, which means that each disposable windings of said cable on the surface of a winding drum should be arranged side by side relatively to each other and without any transpositioning or overlapping, and that each overloading of said towing cable and other components of a driving assembly due to towing of too heavy load should be excluded.
- the winch is furnished-with-a-directing assembly, which is arranged between an upper pulley block and said winding drum and is freely rotatable or least pivotable at certain angle around the vertical geometric axis, wherein said winch moreover includes a dynamometer suitable for measuring of tensioning force within said towing cable, so that also the winding drum can be controlled depending on each measured loading of the towing cable.
- Utility design DE202014105161 U1 discloses a directing assembly, which is mounted on the vertical axis and can freely turn left and right along the drum axis. This system works flawlessly if the winch operates on a flat-horizontal ground. If the winch is during its operation inclined left or right or backwards or forwards or in any possible combination of these inclinations, the weight of the assembly inclines the intermediate assembly between the outlet part with the rope and the drum in the direction of the dynamic force to one side or becomes stuck for a specified period of time in one place. Consequently the rope starts to wind in a pile, which is not desired.
- Document GB1202090 discloses a winch apparatus, in which wires for timber hauling are guided on to respective drums of a vehicle winching apparatus by vertical rollers, horizontal upper and lower rollers, guide sheaves, and rolling sheaves, which are each swingable about an axis in the plane of the sheave to facilitate the laying of wire on the associated drum.
- the rollers centralize wires leading to the vehicle from upwardly, downwardly and sideways directions, and are mounted together with the guide and rolling sheaves on an arched frame on the vehicle, rearward of the drums.
- Each rolling sheave is mounted on a rolling stay which is swingable about an axis in the plane of the sheave and which is spring biased against assuming its normal gravitationally determined position.
- the said spring arrangement facilitates the orderly laying of wire on the drums.
- the spring is used to compensate the gravity effect of the motion of the guiding arm, which differs from the present invention as the latter uses a connecting element, preferably a rope or a chain, which form a loop with two sheaves, thereby connecting the guiding arm and the weight.
- a connecting element preferably a rope or a chain, which form a loop with two sheaves, thereby connecting the guiding arm and the weight.
- the invention according to claim 1 concerns a mechanism of a guiding arm for guiding a wire rope onto a drum of a winch comprising a connecting element, preferably in the form of a rope or chain, which together with two sheaves forms a loop, which connects on one side the guiding arm and on the other side a weight.
- the guiding arm and the weight are due to the loop connection always at the same distance, while their position with regard to the drum depends on the position of the rope on the drum, which is independent of the terrain on which the winch stands.
- the guiding arm is rotatably mounted into the winch housing or the drum housing perpendicularly to the drum axis and oscillates along the longitudinal axis of the drum, wherein the wire rope is guided with directing discs towards an outlet opening at a part of the winch, where the wire rope has its ending intended for attachment of a load intended for towing.
- the role of the guiding arm 1 installed on the winch is to guide the wire rope 2 along the longitudinal axis of the drum 3 during winding/unwinding of the rope 2 onto the drum 3, so that the rope 2 is wound onto the drum 3 in layers in the shape of a helix.
- the guiding arm 1 is with a bearing 10 rotatably mounted into the winch housing or into the drum housing perpendicularly to the drum axis and oscillates along the longitudinal axis of the drum 3.
- the guiding arm 1 is moved left-right along the longitudinal axis of the drum 3 by the wire rope 2, if the latter is sufficiently strained.
- the wire rope 2 is led from the drum 3 with a sheave 4 on the guiding arm 1 and directing discs 8 through an outlet opening on the rear side of the winch, where the said wire rope 2 has its ending enabling attachment of a load.
- the sheave 4 on the guiding arm 1 can be driven with a hydraulic motor, which enables unwinding the rope from the drum 3.
- the rope 2 is pushed against a groove in the sheave 4 with one or more pressing cylinders 5, which are connected into a chain with connecting elements 6.
- the pressure intensity of pressing cylinders 5 on the rope 2 is adjusted with a spring 7.
- the bearing 10 is installed in a supporting console 11, the bearing 10 being rigidly mounted on the guiding arm 1.
- a guide 12 is mounted, to which a weight 13 is attached.
- the weight 13 is composed from one or more parts of any shape.
- the weight 13 has an accessory 13a for attachment to the guide 12 and enables movement in the transverse direction in relation to the winch or in the longitudinal direction in relation to the drum axis.
- a connecting element, most preferably rope or chain 15, connects the weight 13 and the guiding arm 1 with a left sheave 14a and a right sheave 14b, so that the weight 13 moves in the opposite transverse direction in relation to the guiding arm 1. This prevents movement of the arm 1 to the side due to inclining of the winch as shown in figure 3b .
- the connecting element can be used that may have any shape and may be made of any material and can be any other possible connecting element intended for transmission of movement via sheaves 14a and 14b, preferably a strap.
- Figure 3a shows the position of the winch on a horizontal surface
- figure 3b shows the winch in case when the winch is inclined around its longitudinal axis to the left side.
- a dynamic component Fu is directed into the left side
- the weight of the weight 13 causes a tension force Fr in the rope 15, which via the sheave 14b pulls the guiding arm to the right.
- the weight 13 and the guiding arm 1, connected by the rope 15, are in balance or are still as Fu is equal to Fr.
- Friction in guides of the weight 13 can be adjusted with additional screws on an accessory for placing the weight 13 onto the guide 12. This additionally stabilizes the mechanism so that eventual thrusts of burdening onto the winch in the transverse direction do not cause unneeded oscillation of the guiding arm 1 or the weight 13.
- the guiding arm 1 If the winch is inclined forwards as shown in figure 4b , the guiding arm 1 always falls to the side and is in an unstable position.
- the guiding arm When the winch is inclined backwards as shown in figure 4a , the guiding arm might return towards the middle of the drum 3. This can be prevented with the present invention in the way that the ends of the guiding arm 1 are connected with the wire 15, which is mounted between sheaves 14a and 14b and weight 13 on the other side, the said weight 13 moves along the guide 12 in the opposite transverse direction with regard to the guiding arm 1.
- the guiding arm 1 is rotatably mounted in the winch housing, wherein the wire rope 2 is guided via directing discs 8 towards an outlet opening at a part of the winch, where the wire rope has its ending intended for attachment of a load intended for towing.
- the present invention enables controlled winding of a rope onto a drum, when a winch is used on different uneven terrains.

GB1202090 - The invention according to claim 1 concerns a mechanism of a guiding arm for guiding a wire rope onto a drum of a winch comprising a connecting element, preferably in the form of a rope or chain, which together with two sheaves forms a loop, which connects on one side the guiding arm and on the other side a weight. The guiding arm and the weight are due to the loop connection always at the same distance, while their position with regard to the drum depends on the position of the rope on the drum, which is independent of the terrain on which the winch stands. The guiding arm is rotatably mounted into the winch housing or the drum housing perpendicularly to the drum axis and oscillates along the longitudinal axis of the drum, wherein the wire rope is guided with directing discs towards an outlet opening at a part of the winch, where the wire rope has its ending intended for attachment of a load intended for towing.
- The mechanism of the guiding arm for a winch wire rope will be described in further detail by reference to the accompanying figures, which show:
- Figure 1
- scheme of the guiding arm and the drum - longitudinal plane,
- Figure 2
- the mechanism of the guiding arm,
- Figure 3a
- the winch on a flat surface - transverse plane,
- Figure 3b
- the winch inclined around its longitudinal axis to the left - transverse plane,
- Figure 4a
- the guiding arm when the winch is inclined forwards with regard to its transverse axis,
- Figure 4b
- the guiding arm when the winch is inclined backwards with regard to its transverse axis.
- The role of the guiding
arm 1 installed on the winch is to guide thewire rope 2 along the longitudinal axis of thedrum 3 during winding/unwinding of therope 2 onto thedrum 3, so that therope 2 is wound onto thedrum 3 in layers in the shape of a helix. The guidingarm 1 is with a bearing 10 rotatably mounted into the winch housing or into the drum housing perpendicularly to the drum axis and oscillates along the longitudinal axis of thedrum 3. The guidingarm 1 is moved left-right along the longitudinal axis of thedrum 3 by thewire rope 2, if the latter is sufficiently strained. Thewire rope 2 is led from thedrum 3 with asheave 4 on the guidingarm 1 and directingdiscs 8 through an outlet opening on the rear side of the winch, where the saidwire rope 2 has its ending enabling attachment of a load. Thesheave 4 on the guidingarm 1 can be driven with a hydraulic motor, which enables unwinding the rope from thedrum 3. In order to ensure that therope 2 does not slide on thesheave 4 during unwinding, therope 2 is pushed against a groove in thesheave 4 with one or morepressing cylinders 5, which are connected into a chain with connectingelements 6. The pressure intensity of pressingcylinders 5 on therope 2 is adjusted with aspring 7. - The
bearing 10 is installed in a supportingconsole 11, the bearing 10 being rigidly mounted on the guidingarm 1. Onto the supporting console 11 aguide 12 is mounted, to which aweight 13 is attached. Theweight 13 is composed from one or more parts of any shape. Theweight 13 has anaccessory 13a for attachment to theguide 12 and enables movement in the transverse direction in relation to the winch or in the longitudinal direction in relation to the drum axis. A connecting element, most preferably rope orchain 15, connects theweight 13 and the guidingarm 1 with aleft sheave 14a and aright sheave 14b, so that theweight 13 moves in the opposite transverse direction in relation to the guidingarm 1. This prevents movement of thearm 1 to the side due to inclining of the winch as shown infigure 3b . Consequently the guidingarm 1 of therope 2 remains at the same position during use of the winch regardless of the winch being inclined to one or the other side due to the configuration of the terrain. Instead of the rope orchain 15 the connecting element can be used that may have any shape and may be made of any material and can be any other possible connecting element intended for transmission of movement viasheaves -
Figure 3a shows the position of the winch on a horizontal surface, whilefigure 3b shows the winch in case when the winch is inclined around its longitudinal axis to the left side. Infigure 3b a dynamic component Fu is directed into the left side, while the weight of theweight 13 causes a tension force Fr in therope 15, which via thesheave 14b pulls the guiding arm to the right. If theweight 13 has a sufficient mass, then theweight 13 and the guidingarm 1, connected by therope 15, are in balance or are still as Fu is equal to Fr. Friction in guides of theweight 13 can be adjusted with additional screws on an accessory for placing theweight 13 onto theguide 12. This additionally stabilizes the mechanism so that eventual thrusts of burdening onto the winch in the transverse direction do not cause unneeded oscillation of the guidingarm 1 or theweight 13. - If the winch is inclined forwards as shown in
figure 4b , the guidingarm 1 always falls to the side and is in an unstable position. Theweight 13 on theguide 12, which is with therope 15 connected to the guidingarm 1, disables or holds the guidingarm 1 at the wire's current position on thedrum 3. When the winch is inclined backwards as shown infigure 4a , the guiding arm might return towards the middle of thedrum 3. This can be prevented with the present invention in the way that the ends of the guidingarm 1 are connected with thewire 15, which is mounted betweensheaves weight 13 on the other side, the saidweight 13 moves along theguide 12 in the opposite transverse direction with regard to the guidingarm 1. The guidingarm 1 is rotatably mounted in the winch housing, wherein thewire rope 2 is guided via directingdiscs 8 towards an outlet opening at a part of the winch, where the wire rope has its ending intended for attachment of a load intended for towing. - The present invention enables controlled winding of a rope onto a drum, when a winch is used on different uneven terrains.
