- a pump 3 fills a hydraulic accumulator 9 via check valves 4 and 7 to a working pressure, which is set on a pressure relief valve 5.
- the pressure relief valve 5 opens and remains in an open position until the pressure in the hydraulic accumulator 9 drops to a specified value, which is approximately 10 to 15 bar.
- Oil freely flows to a flow regulator 16 and a control valve 6, when the valve 5 is open.

- Oil runs from the pump through the valve 6 to the flow regulator 16, a check valve 17 to a hydraulic motor 19, which drives the unwinding sheave, with which a rope 31 is led from a drum 30 of the winch.
- oil from the hydraulic accumulator 9 via a damper 8 a valve 11 and an adjustable damper 13 activates a cylinder of a brake 14 and thereby releases the brake of the drum, so that the rope on the drum 30 starts to unwind due the tractive force in the rope 31, which is caused by the hydraulic motor 19.

- the hydraulic scheme also includes the pressure regulator 21 and a check valve 22, which is on one side connected with the reservoir 1 hub, the valve 6 and the valve 20, and on the other side with the pressure regulator 21.
- the first layer of rope on the drum has a radius »rn« and the last anticipated layer of rope on the drum has a radius »rz «.
- the working pressure is »po «.
- the pressure »p« in the pressure regulator 21 is set by transposing levers or lever arms, respectively, thus by selecting lever arms »e« and »g« and length »f « of the pole 36.

- the second part of the pole 36 is rotatably mounted into a holder 36b, which is via a part 36b' in contact with the piston of the regulation valve 21.
- Distance »e« is between the centreline of the axis 34a and the area in the groove 36a', where the first part of the pole 36 is fixed.

- the pole 36 pushes the piston of the pressure regulator 21 with the part 36b' of the holder 36b, which causes an increase in oil pressure. If the pole 36 is moved away, the piston of the pressure regulator 21 is released due to the shift of the part 36b', resulting in decreased oil pressure.
- the piston of the check valve 22 can be pushed for a defined value with the pole 36.

- the starting position of the part 36b' is fully retracted.
- the pushing cylinder 33 on the drum 30 pushes onto the first layer of the rope.
- the pressure of oil, which is let by the pressure regulator 21 to the coupling cylinder, is »pn « and its lowest value is around 90 bar.
- the relationship between the shift of the pushing cylinder 33 from the drum 30 axis and the shift of part 36b' of the holder 36b towards the regulation valve 21 is approximately linear.
- Figure 5 shows the winch drum and radius »rn« as well as diameter »rz « and on the vertical axis force F, wherein areas A, B, C, D depend on selected sizes of force Fn, so that the force F is constant. It is visible from the figure 5 that it is possible to select the size of force Fn by altering distances »e«, »g« and »f«, wherein the force F changes in an approximately linear manner. Setting of distances »e«, »g« and »f « is enabled by altering the mounting position of the spring 35 and both ends of the pole 36.

Description
- The present invention belongs to the field of mechanical engineering, more precisely to the field of hydraulic systems with a hydraulic accumulator as an additional source of hydraulic pressure energy particularly important in devices with uneven consumption. At the same time, the present invention also belongs to the field of pressure regulators for maintaining constant tractive force of forest winches.
- The technical problem, which is solved by the present invention, is construction of such hydraulic system for steering and controlling a winding drum of a winch, which will together with the mechanic assembly at the winding drum enable keeping almost constant tractive force of the winch. When a winch is in use, the diameter of the drum changes in relation to the number of layers of wound wire rope, which consequently affects the tractive force of the winch. The task of the present invention is constructional arrangement of individual functional winch elements together with the elements of the hydraulic system, which would enable maintenance of constant tractive force of the winch even in the case when the towing rope is entirely wound to the drum or in the case when the towing rope is almost entirely unwound. During use of the winch a situation, in which the tractive force must be regulated according to a specific situation in a work process, can occur. If the tractive force of the winch decreases due to the increase of rope radius on the drum to a such extent that the force of resistance is larger than the tractive force, the load stops, as the lamella of the coupling start to slide, which represents a problem in practice. A constant tractive force enables optimal function of the coupling. The aim of the invention is a constructional solution of mechanic parts of the drum together with accessory parts, which will allow influence on hydraulic parameters.
- Usual forest winches have the highest tractive force when the drum is empty or when the drum has one layer of rope wound to it. Lamellar clutch/coupling are compressed with a constant force, therefore a constant momentum is always transferred from the drive shaft to the drum of the winch. With winding of the rope to the drum the radius of the last layer of the rope increases, therefore the tractive force decreases, as the torque is equal to the product of force and distance of the force line from the axis.
- Until now known solutions for optimization of the tractive force of a winch due to the effect of number of layers/coils of the towing rope on the drum of a winch are
EP2565144 »Winch« and SI24108 »Forestry winch with controlled winding of traction rope and protection thereof overload«. - The winch described in patent document
EP2565144 , comprises a drive shaft, a drum for winding a rope, a coupling of the drum for transfer of rotational movement of the drive shaft to the wire drum, a brake of the drum for braking the rope drum and an outlet device of the rope with at least one sheave. The sheave can be propelled for unwinding the rope and with transmission, which has a coupling of the rope outlet, wherein the sheave is connected with the drive shaft. The invention is characterized in that the coupling of the rope outlet is formed with a coupling, which is activated hydraulically. This solution differs from the present invention, in which hydraulically steered mechanism is included in assuring mechanical deviation of handles with the aim of maintaining almost constant tractive force of the winch. - Slovene patent no.

The torque limit of the friction drive is adjustable according to the loading and the effective drum diameter, which changes with the amount of cable wound.

DE2922421 discloses a hydrostatically driven drum winch that has detectors keeping rope speed and tension constant as number of layers alters. The winch according to this solution has a drum (10) driven hydrostatically (34) and accommodating a rope (12) in layers. One or more detectors (40) are provided for an alteration in the number of rope layers. The detectors all work with a hydrostatic drive control unit (36), so as to keep the rope tension and/or the winding-in and paying-out speed approx. constant each time such an alteration takes place. Tension can be kept constant by a release valve controlling the pressure in the hydraulic circuit, and actuated by the detector. - Known solutions from practice do not solve the technical problem in a manner similar to the present invention, which enables regulation of oil pressure in dependence on the diameter of the wound wire rope, which consequently means maintenance of almost constant tractive force of the rope of a winch.
- The essence of the mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for maintaining constant tractive force of a winch is that at each new layer of a towing rope on a winch drum a pushing cylinder is pushed away, wherein the cylinder rotates the axis of forks, which carry the pushing cylinder. Rotation of the forks' axis causes movement of a pole, which pushes a piston of a pressure regulator for one step, consequently leading to an increase in oil pressure, which causes an increase of the cylinder piston pressure on couplings, resulting in an increase of the drum momentum. The invention is based on a mathematical algorithm defined by distances »e«, »f« and »g«, which causes movement of the piston of the pressure regulator for each movement of the pushing cylinder or fork axis, respectively, due to a new layer of the towing rope on the drum. Increasing or decreasing the oil pressure in the hydraulic system in accordance with changes in distances »e«, »f« and »g« results in maintenance of an almost constant tractive force of the winch.
- The mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for precise definition of the tractive force of a winch will be described in further detail by reference to the accompanying figures, which show:

- Figure 2

- A
pump 3 fills ahydraulic accumulator 9 viacheck valves 4 and 7 to a working pressure, which is set on apressure relief valve 5. When oil in thehydraulic accumulator 9 reaches the set working pressure, thepressure relief valve 5 opens and remains in an open position until the pressure in thehydraulic accumulator 9 drops to a specified value, which is approximately 10 to 15 bar. Oil freely flows to aflow regulator 16 and acontrol valve 6, when thevalve 5 is open. The smaller resistance is on the side of thevalve 6, therefore oil flows through thevalve 6 into anoil reservoir 1. Due to this technical realization of the hydraulic equipment, thepump 3 operates most of the time at a lower pressure, namely at a pressure up to 10 bar. In case the user selects a function of rope unwinding, the valve 6 (right) and a valve 11 (right) are simultaneously switched. Oil runs from the pump through thevalve 6 to theflow regulator 16, acheck valve 17 to ahydraulic motor 19, which drives the unwinding sheave, with which arope 31 is led from adrum 30 of the winch. At the same time oil from thehydraulic accumulator 9 via adamper 8, avalve 11 and anadjustable damper 13 activates a cylinder of abrake 14 and thereby releases the brake of the drum, so that the rope on thedrum 30 starts to unwind due the tractive force in therope 31, which is caused by thehydraulic motor 19. Pressure in the inlet line to thehydraulic motor 19 rises up to 50 to 70 bar. - When the user turns on rope winding, the valve 11 (left) and a valve 20 (right) are switched, so the oil runs from the
hydraulic accumulator 9 through thedamper 8, thevalve 11 and apressure regulator 21 activates acylinder 15 of a coupling. - In case the pressure in the
hydraulic accumulator 9 drops for a specified value, thepressure relief valve 5 is closed and the pump fills thehydraulic accumulator 9 to the set working pressure. - When the oil flows through the
valve 5 into a common point with thevalve 6 and reservoir, the current runs to a controllingvalve 20, which is connected in parallel to thehydraulic cylinder 15 of the coupling. When winding, thevalve 11 and thevalve 20 have to be simultaneously switched, so that thehydraulic cylinder 15 of the coupling is turned on. Activation of winding results in simultaneous switching of the left part of thevalve 11 and the right part of thevalve 20. Oil from the accumulator flows towards thehydraulic cylinder 15 of the coupling, thereby activating the latter, while oil cannot run through the right part of thevalve 20. After winding is stopped thevalve 11 and thevalve 20 are switched into their starting position. If any of the valves is blocked, oil can always freely flow into the reservoir through thevalve 11 or thevalve 20. The hydraulic scheme also includes thepressure regulator 21 and acheck valve 22, which is on one side connected with thereservoir 1 hub, thevalve 6 and thevalve 20, and on the other side with thepressure regulator 21. - Common forest winches have the highest tractive force F, when the
drum 30 is empty or has only one layer of therope 31 wound on it. Lamellae of the coupling are compressed with a constant force, therefore a constant torque M is transferred from the drive shaft onto thedrum 30 of the winch. By winding of therope 31 to thedrum 30 the radius »r« of the last layer of rope on the drum increases, therefore the tractive force F decreases, as follows from the equation - As shown in
figure 4 the first layer of rope on the drum has a radius »rn« and the last anticipated layer of rope on the drum has a radius »rz«. The working pressure is »po«. When the pushing cylinder is at the level of the first rope layer on the drum, a decreased working pressure reaches the coupling, namely - The result is that in case of an empty drum the working pressure »p« is lower. When the whole length of the rope is wound on the drum, the working pressure »p« is equal to the pressure »po«. When the rope is partially wound and »r« has any value, the pressure can be calculated with the following equation:
- The pressure »p« in the
pressure regulator 21 is set by transposing levers or lever arms, respectively, thus by selecting lever arms »e« and »g« and length »f« of thepole 36. - The mechanic-hydraulic system according to the invention has a pushing
cylinder 33 mounted toforks 34, which oscillate around alower axis 34a, to which aspring 35 is mounted with an accessory 35a on one side and afastening element 36a for apole 36 is mounted on the other side. Distance »g« is between the centreline of theaxis 34a, where the bottom part of the accessory 35a is mounted, and the centreline of the upper part of the accessory 35a, where thespring 35 is mounted. On the other side of theaxis 34a afastening element 36a with agroove 36a' is mounted, into the saidgroove 36a' the second part of thepole 36 is installed, which is preferably a threaded rod. The second part of thepole 36 is rotatably mounted into aholder 36b, which is via apart 36b' in contact with the piston of theregulation valve 21. Distance »e« is between the centreline of theaxis 34a and the area in thegroove 36a', where the first part of thepole 36 is fixed. Distance »f« is between the first part of thepole 36 and the centreline of the mounting of the second part of thepole 36 in theholder 36b.Pre-strained spring 35 pulls theforks 34 on the lever arm »g« and thereby pushes the pushingcylinder 33 on thedrum 30 with thewound rope 31. - By winding of the
rope 31 onto thedrum 30 the radius of the current layer of rope on the drum is increased. The pushingcylinder 33, which is mounted on theforks 34, is therefore moving away from the axis of thedrum 30, as theforks 34 rotate around theaxis 34a. Rotation offorks 34 causes a horizontal shift of thepole 36 along thegroove 36a' of thefastening element 36a. The size of the horizontal shift of thepart 36b' of theholder 36b is adjustable with distances »f« and »e«. Thepole 36 pushes the piston of thepressure regulator 21 with thepart 36b' of theholder 36b, which causes an increase in oil pressure. If thepole 36 is moved away, the piston of thepressure regulator 21 is released due to the shift of thepart 36b', resulting in decreased oil pressure. - Depending on the construction of the
pressure regulator 21, the piston of thecheck valve 22 can be pushed for a defined value with thepole 36. The distance of the movement of thepart 36b' of theholder 36b towards the regulatingvalve 21 is limited. The starting position of thepart 36b' is fully retracted. The pushingcylinder 33 on thedrum 30 pushes onto the first layer of the rope. The pressure of oil, which is let by thepressure regulator 21 to the coupling cylinder, is »pn« and its lowest value is around 90 bar. The relationship between the shift of the pushingcylinder 33 from the drum 30 axis and the shift ofpart 36b' of theholder 36b towards theregulation valve 21 is approximately linear. Therefore, with an increase of the radius of the layers on thedrum 30 the oil pressure to thecoupling cylinder 15 is linearly increased. When the layers of rope on the drum reach radius »rz«, the piston of thepressure regulator 21 is with thepole 36 maximally pushed and the oil pressure to thecoupling cylinder 15 is the highest. -
Figure 5 shows the winch drum and radius »rn« as well as diameter »rz« and on the vertical axis force F, wherein areas A, B, C, D depend on selected sizes of force Fn, so that the force F is constant. It is visible from thefigure 5 that it is possible to select the size of force Fn by altering distances »e«, »g« and »f«, wherein the force F changes in an approximately linear manner. Setting of distances »e«, »g« and »f« is enabled by altering the mounting position of thespring 35 and both ends of thepole 36. - The result of previously described construction of the
drum 30 with thewound rope 31,forks 34,pole 36, which is directly connected with thepressure regulator 21, is almost a constant tractive force F for the entire area ofrope 31 winding on thedrum 30, as well as the possibility of setting different tractive forces F by setting distances »e«, »g« and »f«.

- A mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for maintaining a constant tractive force of a winch, comprising a drum (30), a rope (31), a pressure regulator (21), a coupling comprising a hydraulic cylinder (15), characterized in that it further comprises a pushing cylinder (33) mounted onto forks (34), a spring (35) and a pole (36), wherein the pushing cylinder (33) is pushed away with each new layer of the towing rope (31) on the winch drum (30), wherein the cylinder (33) rotates the axis (34a) of forks (34), which carry the pushing cylinder (33); that rotation of the forks' axis causes movement of a pole (36), which pushes a piston of the pressure regulator (21) for one step, consequently causing an increase in oil pressure, which causes an increase of the cylinder piston pressure on couplings, resulting in an increase of the drum momentum; that distances »e«, »f« and »g« change with each movement of the pushing cylinder (33) or the forks' axis due to a new layer of the towing rope (31) on the drum (30), resulting in closing or opening of the pressure regulator (21) with movable part of attachments, which consequently increases or decreases oil pressure in the hydraulic system, wherein the distance »e« is the distance between the centreline of the axis (34a) and an area in a groove (36a'), where a first part of the pole (36) is fixed, and the distance »f« is the length of the pole (36), namely between the first part of the pole (36) and the centreline of the mounting of the second part of the pole (36) in a holder (36b), in contact with the piston of the pressure regulator (21), and the distance »g« is between the centreline of the axis (34a), where the bottom part of an accessory (35a) is mounted, and the centreline of the upper part of the accessory (35a), where the spring (35) is mounted and pre-strained to pull the forks (34) and thereby push the pushing cylinder (33) on the drum (30); that in accordance with changes in distances »e«, »f« and »g« and directly connected forks of the pushing cylinder (33), the spring (35) and the pole (36), an almost constant tractive force of the winch is maintained.
- The mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for maintaining a constant tractive force according to claim 1, characterized in that the pushing cylinder (33) pushes the rope (31) onto the drum (30); that the pushing cylinder (33) is rotatably mounted onto forks (34), which oscillate around the lower axis; that the forks (34) have a variable length of lever arms (e) and (g); that a pole (36) with length (f), which is adjustable, is between the lever arm (e) and the proportional pressure regulator (21); that a pre-strained spring (35) pulls the forks (34) on the lever arm (g) and pushes the pushing cylinder (33) onto the rope (31) and the drum (30).
- The mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for maintaining a constant tractive force according to claim 2, characterized in that the pressure (p) in the pressure regulator (21) is set by transposing levers or lever arms, respectively, thus by selecting lever arms »e« and »g« and length »f« of the pole 36.
- The mechanic-hydraulic system with a pressure regulator for maintaining a constant tractive force according to any of preceding claims, characterized in that it is possible to select the size of force (Fn) by altering distances (e), (g) and (f), wherein the force (F) changes in an approximately linear manner.
