Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable arrangement (safety gear) for variably presettable absorption of kinetic energy in cable structures, such as elevators, flexible barriers or cable cars, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device of this kind is in DE 10 2005 053 704 A1 described.
  • This rope brake assembly has two connection points. Between these connection points, a rope brake element is provided with a brake plate provided with bores and with several passable in the holes with resistance rope pieces. The brake plate is provided with the successive holes in several rows and at one end with the first connection point. At the second, the first Cruquiten, connection point, the pieces of rope are connected together. Each of the pieces of rope is carried out individually by a number of successive holes, changing the direction of execution of the pieces of rope in the successive holes. The pieces of rope are the same and when extending the rope brake all pieces are effective over the entire braking distance.
  • neither the strength of the braking action nor the release force can be adjusted freely and independently, but is determined by means of construction and dimensioning of the components in dependence of each other, which in turn leads to increased complexity in their commercial use.
  • the length of the deflection of the brake resulting from the braking process is directly proportional to the length of the cable bodies pulled through, whereby the application of the brake, in particular in applications with high energy input, leads either to a high release force or to a high deflection.
  • the release force of this device is higher than the subsequent, continuous braking force, d. H.
  • the static friction to be overcome in order to trigger the braking process leads to a disadvantageous shock-damping curve, which in turn has a cost-increasing effect on the dimensioning of the attachment points.
  • Another generic device is from the WO 2009/137951 known.
  • This known device is designed as a device for shock absorption of cable structures, especially for rockfall, debris flow and snow and absorbs absorbed in a claimed on train rope energy characterized in that a deformable by tensile forces intermediate piece which is installed in a claimed on train rope, has one or more longitudinal elements.
  • the at least one longitudinal element is on the one hand with its one end in connection with a rope end and on the other hand it is guided around a deflecting element connected to another end of the rope.
  • means are provided by which the formed deflection angle of the longitudinal elements or is substantially maintained during the loading of the intermediate piece.
  • this device can hardly be installed in series in tension cords, which impairs their usability in the field of special applications.
  • this device causes, due to their length, increased assembly and manual transport in rough or forested terrain.
  • this device can not or not be installed in an optimal position in tight installation locations because of their bulkiness and size.
  • neither the strength of the braking action nor the triggering force is freely and independently adjustable, but is determined by means of construction and dimensioning of the components in dependence on each other, which in turn leads to increased complexity in their commercial use.
  • the length of the deflection of the brake resulting from the braking process corresponds directly to the length of the elongate elements pulled through, as a result of which the application of the device, in particular with a high energy input, leads either to a high release force or to a high deflection.
  • the invention can also be regarded as an energy absorption device whose operation is not based on plastic deformation or overcoming static friction, but on conversion of kinetic energy in frictional heat, by looping to Euler-Eytelwein, and their tripping or braking independently and variably on site is adjustable, and by which the achievement of the desired bias of the tension cord is displayed.
  • the device according to the invention preferably comprises two interlocking main components, a bollard frame and the looping component (s), which are clamped connected to one of two attachment points within at least one tensioned (rope) strand.
  • the braking device is activated by increasing tensile forces, in that the applied kinetic energy initially exceeds the preset release force of the brake device and thus tightens the wrapper component tightly around the bollard. If the preset braking force is subsequently reached, the belt unit slides in a controlled manner around the bollard of the bollard frame. The resulting friction transforms kinetic energy into heat energy.
  • the first, second and / or third clamping device of the cable brake assembly according to the invention may comprise single or multiple arrangements.
  • these arrangements for example, adapted to the shape of the Umschlingungsan himself terminals to be tightened on the end hin besteckbare through the frame threaded portions by means of matching screws in order to be able to clamp the Umschlingungsan himself in the corresponding areas can.
  • the looping arrangement may in particular be designed as a cable arrangement, so that then the clamping devices can be cable clamps, in which one, two or more such clamps can be provided per clamping device, depending on which forces are to be absorbed.
  • the free end portions of the wrapping unit or the cable assembly are preferably provided with stop members to prevent these free end portions from being pulled out of the frame when forces are applied to the cables in which the cable brake assembly is disposed.
  • a color-contrasted indicator region can be visible, which changes its position when the desired tension of the tension cord is reached.
  • the cable brake assembly according to the invention can be provided in devices comprising cable constructions.
  • Such devices may be elevators, flexible barriers, cable cars or fishing fences, such as rockfall barriers.
