SU421570A1 - DEVICE FOR CLEANING AND LUBRICATION OF STEEL CABLES - Google Patents

Description

one

This invention relates to ship equipment.

Devices for cleaning and lubricating steel cables after their use in marine conditions are known, which contain a container with lubricating fluid and guide rollers.

However, the operation of cleaning and lubricating cables using known devices is done manually, which increases the complexity of these operations and reduces the effectiveness of the use of devices.

The purpose of the invention is to provide automatic cleaning and lubrication of the steel cable when selecting it on the winch drum.

This is achieved by having a lubricant tank. The tank is located in a closed chamber and is provided with manifolds with nozzles that spray oil onto a cable passing through a cylinder with a helical cavity into which the cleaning medium is fed. To ensure that the device is used without removing the cable from the winch, it is advisable to make the upper part of the cylinder and the closed chamber removable.

FIG. 1 shows the proposed device, a longitudinal section; in fig. 2 is a section along the line A-A in FIG. one.

The device comprises a chamber 1 and a cylinder 2 with a helical cavity 3. The chamber 1 and cylinder 2 have openings and guides

rollers 4 for cable 5 pulled by a winch (not shown in the figures).

Chamber 1 is fitted with manifolds 6 with nozzles 7 spraying oil onto the cable

5. The collectors 6 are connected to the discharge

pipe 8 with an electric pump 9, which

using suction line 10

picks up oil from chamber 1.

A coil 11 is used to heat the oil, and

to remove excess oil from the cable 5, the cuff 12. The reflectors 13 in the chamber 1 serve to exclude the release of splashing oil from the chamber. The collectors 6 are parallel

the direction of movement of the cable 5 and around the circumference under the edge, for example, 120 °.

Cylinder 2 has a spout 14 for connecting a pipeline for supplying a cleaning medium — steam or air — under pressure.

For discharge of dirt together with steam or air into the container 15, an opening 16 serves, and for an exit of the spent medium — an opening 17. A cuff 18 serves to prevent the exit of the cleaning medium from cylinder 2.

The upper part of the chamber 1 and the cylinder 2 is made removable and is attached to the lower part by the locks 19.

When the device is in operation, a lubricating fluid, such as oil, is poured into the chamber 1.

A fitting 14 is connected to the pipeline for

supplying the cleaning medium to the cylinder 2 and supplying power to the electric pump 9 and the coil 11. After that, the upper part of the chamber I and the cylinder 2 are removed, the cable 5 is placed on the guide rollers 4, and then the upper part of the chamber and the cylinder are attached to the lower part with locks 19 To heat the lubricant to the required temperature, include coil I.

After switching on the electropump 9, the lubricating fluid through the pipeline 10 is sucked into the electropump 9, and through the discharge pipeline 8 is fed into the manifolds 6 to the nozzles 7.

The cleaning medium supplied to the helical cavity 3 of the cylinder 2, due to the rotational movement, cleans the cable 5 from the dirt and moisture that is ejected through the opening 16 into the container 15, from where the waste medium leaves through the opening 17.

Thus, the cable 5, selected by a winch, passes through a cylinder 2 with a helical cavity 3, where it is cleaned of dirt and

moisture, and then through the chamber 1 with the collectors 6 and the nozzles 7, where it is lubricated by oil splashing.
