Japan-Japan (JP) 075889/71 (71) Takata Kojyo Co., Ltd., No. 10 Mori Building, 28 Sakuragawa-cho, 'Nishikubo, Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan-Japan (JP) (72) Takezo Takada, Shiga-ken, Japan-Japan (JP) (7M Oy Kolster Ab (5 ^ This invention relates generally to an improvement in the installation of a large cable, trough or other object, and more particularly to an improved device for automatically expanding a cable and installing a cable without interruption.

The use of a large diameter, rigid cable is very common and is used in situations such as sewer and water drainage, irrigation, water distribution, etc. The usual method of installing a pipe or gutter and covering the ground has many disadvantages and disadvantages. The cables are usually cast as short in pieces and these are then transported to the desired wage, installed and joined together in ditches, after which they are covered. It is obvious that said method is expensive and very time consuming and there is much to be desired anyway.

The main object of the present invention is to develop an improved device for forming and processing pipes or troughs.

E 03 F 3/06 E 02 F 5/10 a mu It is also an object of the present invention to provide an improved device for the continuous installation of very long, large diameter cables.

It is also an object of the invention to provide an improved device for storing a large wire in a sealed condition and for expanding and curing the wire after installation.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide such a device which is known for its reliability, strength, high mobility and applicability.

These objects are achieved by a device for installing cables, such as pipes, troughs and the like, comprising a vehicle, a vehicle-adapted stock of flattened cable blank, in particular a coil, means for pulling a cable blank out of storage and means for carrying the cable blank as the vehicle advances and unloading the device is characterized in that the device has means for completely expanding the wire blank, comprising an expanding mold part located inside the advancing wire blank and means for limiting the longitudinal movement of the mold part and means for curing the expanded wire blank as it is advanced along the vehicle, the means comprising a chamber through which the expanded conduit passes, a plurality of nozzles directing the flow of hot fluid to the advancing conduit, and a heating device and means for recirculating the fluid; through the heating device to the nozzles.

These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, which shows a preferred embodiment of the invention.

In its preferred form, the device comprises one or more forklift trucks which are connected to each other and at least one of which is driven. The flattened tube is formed of a curable, artificial, polymeric resin or other material, e.g., a material having a heat-actuated cross-coupling catalyst, and is wound in its flattened state on a coil supported by a rotating wire forklift. The next forklift supports a liquid heat exchanger heat exchanger, a circulating pump and an engine that moves the forklift, such as a diesel engine, the next forklift supports two longitudinally spaced balls within an extended line whose longitudinal movement of the balls is limited by an outer ring ball? 5632ί.

Between Jen. The tube, held in its expanded state, moves forward through successive chambers, in which hot liquid or other fluid is injected over it, which is recirculated through the heater,

And the pipe thus hardened passes over the roller guides into a pre-made ditch, where it assumes its final, rigid state.

Fig. 1 shows a vertical sectional view of a device implementing the present invention). 2 shows a view similar to Fig. 1 of another embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 1 of the drawings, which shows the preferred embodiment of the present invention, is a carriage 1 with molding and curing equipment, provided with wheels 2 and provided with a coil 3i feeder 4 * expansion device 5 and a curing and molding mechanism 9 · - Reel 3 is provided with flanges on both sides of the axis of rotation And a soft, tubular body, which can harden after processing, is pre-wound around it in a flat form.The feeder feeds a flat-shaped body And is provided with a magnet for attaching the expansion device 3. The expansion device 3 expands the flat, soft the tubular body of the magnet. the expansion means 3 is provided with a shaft 7 »which extends backwards, and molding 8 and 84 is just behind the expansion device and described below the curing and forming mechanism of the outlet side of the case, thus maintaining the desired form of fluid to the tubular body. the expansion device after having disposed the curing mechanism 9 » Curing a soft tubular body And comprising a spray mechanism 9 'And a receiving tank 9 "» for injecting a substance such as oil, water or a stream of hot air, And curing a soft tubular body of curing material by circulating a liquid transfer tube 11 And by means of an intermediate tank 12. The liquid transfer device 11 returns the material which has carried out the curing operation And has a sufficient supply pressure to generate the pressure necessary to effect the injection of the material. The upper tank 12 has an intermediate feed port And a device which adjusts the temperature of the substance as desired according to the requirements of the conditions of the conditions.

A soft body of hardener hardens due to a change in the amount or quality of the softener it contains. It is very easy to perform hardening by reducing a certain amount of softener with oil and the like. It is also possible that the body contains a thermosetting plasticizer And the curing is performed by heating.

The fully hardened, correctly made tubular body is lowered into the ditch behind the carriage 1 by means of rollers 13, which provide the correct sliding. It should be noted that the above mechanism is not within the scope of this invention.

When the hard pipe is installed underground using the device according to the present invention described above, the ditch must first be dug with an excavator and then the wound, soft body is released from the reel 3 and expanded by an expansion device, then passed through a curing mechanism 9 for curing and finally it is lowered into the ditch after being transported over the roller part 15, after which it is covered with earth. The temperature of the injectable material to be cured is selected as appropriate, depending on the composition of the soft body to be molded and cured and the desired hardness, but usually a temperature of 160-200 ° C is maintained. The feed rate of the soft body is selected depending on the time it must be in the curing mechanisms 9 to obtain the desired hardness.

It is suitable to cover the pipe on the ground at the same time, which is achieved by providing the rear part of the carriage 1 with a covering mechanism.

The present invention can be used not only for the underground installation of a tubular body, but also for the installation of a gutter in a ditch during its curing.

In the present invention, the soft body wound on a spool contains a portion of a thermosetting softener or a softener which can be removed by means of oil and the like, as a result of which it hardens. A soft piece can be wound on a spool by flattening it at the beginning in the usual way because it is flexible. This soft piece is very long, it can be about 70 to about 500 meters long.

In the method described above, a soft and long, tubular product is wound on a spool soft, loaded onto a forming and curing carriage, wound off a spool by a feeder 4 while gradually curing, and then lowered to the ground and covered as a hard, tubular body. As a result, there are no difficulties associated with transporting a hard, tubular product in the context of conventional pipe-laying. In contrast to the usual embodiment, in which the transport is limited to pipes of a certain, predetermined, short length, the device according to the invention allows the transport of long, tubular products, eliminating the disadvantages. In addition, work and time are saved when the pipes do not have to be connected during underground installation, which increases the efficiency of underground pipe installation. The hardening treatment is carried out after the expansion work and according to the present invention it is possible that the pipe is lowered and covered as soon as the ditch is dug, which significantly shortens the working time, making it as short as possible and not only improves work efficiency but also greatly affects underground installation work. 5 r: ·. o · J;> ·. · J / rationalization, as the excavated ditch is not left in its excavated space.

Another advantage is that the hardening device according to the present invention is mounted on a freely moving carriage, so that it can be easily used whenever necessary. From the point of view of completing the work, it is advantageous that hardly any manpower is needed and the work is saved.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings, which shows a second embodiment of the present invention, reference numeral 54 denotes a front, wheeled truck or chassis supporting two transversely spaced vertical supports on which a rotating shaft 52 is mounted. A relatively soft coil is wound on the rotating shaft 52. 31 »which is in a flat state, in which case it should be noted that the line 31 may be a trough or other object. Line 31 is of the type which cures after heating to a rigid state and which can be made of an artificial, organic, polymeric resin having a heat-activated crosslinking agent, a thermosetting initiator or a catalyst, as described in detail e.g. with this application. in co-filed TTS Patent Applications No. 181,146, filed September 16, 1971 »and No. 205,278, filed December 6, 1971» or may be made of any other suitable, soft and hardenable material.

The second base 65 is connected to the base 54 and supports a power machine, e.g. a diesel engine, which is connected by a variable speed gearbox 67 to the drive wheels 67 of the base 65. · A heat exchanger or other heating device 63 is also mounted on the base 65.

The wire extension device 71 is mounted on a subsequent base 72 connected to the base 65 and includes a chamber with longitudinally oriented openings, namely a front inlet and an outlet at the rear, the flattened wire entering through the inlet and guided by two vertically spaced rollers; it exits through the outlet.

Two longitudinally spaced wire extension rings or balls 74 are positioned in the advancing wire in front of the guide rollers and are connected together by a longitudinal bar. The spheres 74 are held in place by a suitably mounted ring 73 »which surrounds the expanded wire 1 between the spheres 74 and has an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameters of the spheres 74.

The next two substrates 84 and 84 '»connected to each other and to the substrate 72 have treatment or curing tanks 81 and 81' with longitudinally oriented openings 87» 87 '», respectively, through which the extended conduit passes forward. At the top, inside the tanks 81,81 ', perforated drip trays 85 and 85' »are arranged, respectively, which are connected by pipes 61 and 61 'and a combined piping to the outlet side of the liquid heating device 63.

6 5632ο The bottoms of the tanks 81,81 * are connected by pipes 88 and 88 * and a combined piping to the inlet side of the pump 62, where water or liquid flowing from the tanks 81 and 81 * is recirculated through the heating device 63 back to the drip trays 83 and 83 '. extends from the ball 74 coaxially through the expanded conduit 61 in the containers 81 and 81 'and has longitudinally thinned, circular molding devices 83.

Extending downwards and backwards from the lower edge of the rear tank opening 87 'is a suitably supported guide part 92, the upper end of which has freely rotating guide rollers. When the hardened or tempered wire 91 passes across the guide 92, it is switched by a sidewall sensor 93 »which measures the hardness, temperature and other parameters of the wire 91 and controls some parameter of operation via a suitable reverse feedback network, such as device feed rate. causes the actuator 64,67 or the temperature of the quenching fluid to be affected by the heating plate 63, or the speed of the pump 62 or the like.

During normal operation of the device as described above, the soft, flexible wire 31 is removed from the spool as the user 64.67 moves the device forward, and as the soft wire passes across the expansion device 71, the inner balls 74 expand it into a fully expanded, circular cross-sectional shape. 4

The soft, expanded line then passes through tanks 81 and 81 'where it is heated by a hot liquid, e.g., hydrocarbon oil, which falls on it from drip trays 83 and 83', to a temperature such as to harden or cure line 31 upon activation of a slurry coupling or catalyst or other means. , as described above. The guide member 92 guides the at least partially cured line into a preformed ditch, where it assumes its final shape and position and, due to the heat it still contains, continues to cure to its final, rigid state. By adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor 93 and the parameters it controls relative to the composition of the wire, its temporary and final stiffness properties can be adjusted.

In one example of the method in question, the device was conveyed at a speed of 30 m / h and the soft wire had an inner diameter of 200 mm, a wall thickness of 3.3 mm and a length of 100 m and its shore hardness D-230 at 20 ° C. The advancing, expanded tube was treated with hydrocarbon oil at 170 ° C and the shore hardness of the finished, rigid line was 1) 82 at 20 ° C.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it will be apparent that numerous changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit thereof. An automatic ditch excavator can, for example, be connected to a platform 84 · so that the ditch into which the line is lowered is automatically dug as the machine moves forward and the line is handled and lowered.
