Description
- The present invention relates to a system for evenly winding a hose on a reel, and more particularly to a system which uses the hose as a belt for the transmission of the evening motion.
-
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a hose andreel system 10 comprising ahose 12 wound on areel 14. Thereel 14 defines a coordinate system of linear coordinates x;y;z and a rotation ρ around the x-axis, and is adapted for a rotation in the ρ direction, around the x-axis, for winding thehose 12 on thereel 14. - Additionally, the
reel 14 defines first andsecond sides hose 12 to wind evenly on thereel 14 and not pile up at one side or the other, when winding, thehose 12 is made to move in an oscillatory motion, in the ±x directions betweensides arrow 15. - Various mechanisms are known for producing the oscillatory motion of
hose 12, for even winding, as described by thearrow 15. - For example,
FIGS. 2A-2B schematically illustrate a rotatingshaft system 20, for providing the oscillatory motion of thehose 12. - As seen in
FIG. 2A , the rotatingshaft system 20 has ashaft 22, having a length axis along the x-axis. Theshaft 22 is threaded by two threads of substantially identical dimensions, but opposite directions: afirst thread 24, being a right-handed external thread, is wound in the direction ρ, and asecond thread 26, being a left-handed external thread, is wound in the opposite direction −ρ, on theshaft 22. Atends first thread 24 and thesecond thread 26 communicate, so that an element moving on thethread 24 in the −x direction, towards thefirst end 25, will reverse its direction, upon reaching thefirst end 25 and begin to move the +x direction, on thesecond thread 26. Similarly, upon reaching thesecond end 27, the element will again reverse its direction and begin to move in the −x direction, on thefirst thread 24. - A
motion transmission mechanism 28, for example, agear 28, causes theshaft 22 to rotate in a single direction around the x-axis, for example, in the direction ρ. Ahose carrier 30 is mounted on theshaft 22 and is adapted to move along it, in the ±x directions, on thethreads arrow 15. Thehose carrier 30 includes aslide 32 which stabilizes it and ensures that thecarrier 30 moves only in the ±x directions of thearrow 15. Additionally, thehose carrier 30 includes ahose seat 34 wherein the hose 12 (FIG. 1 ) is inserted. When inserted thehose 12 moves with thehose carrier 30 in the ±x directions of thearrow 15. - As seen in
FIG. 2B , anelement 36, enclosed within acylindrical housing 44 and acap 42, is adapted to engage with the groves of the first and secondexternal threads shaft 22 rotates. Theelement 36 has anarched segment 38, serving as an internal thread, which may engage either with the firstexternal thread 24 or with the secondexternal thread 26. As theshaft 22 rotates in the direction ρ, theelement 36 moves along either the first or the secondexternal threads first end 25 and thesecond end 27, thus moving in an oscillatory motion, first in the −x direction, along thefirst thread 24, then in the +x direction, along thesecond thread 26, and so on, repeatedly, causing thehose 12 to wind evenly on thereel 14. -

It will be appreciated that a belt system or any other motion transfer system, as known, may similarly be used. The motion of thereel 14 may be provided by a motor, by hand, or by any other means, as known. - However, the prior art systems require mechanical linking and structural connection between the gear or belt motion-transfer system and the
shaft 22, and in consequence are cumbersome.

- Referring now to the drawings,
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates adevice 50 for evenly winding thehose 12 on thereel 14, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Thedevice 50 is designed for using thehose 12 as a belt for the transmission of the evening motion. Thedevice 50 includes: - a
shaft 52, which comprises a length, L along the x-axis and first and second ends 54 and 56, delimiting the length L, between them; and - a
pulley 58, adapted to move on theshaft 52, along the x-axis, and further adapted to receive thehose 12, be made to rotate by thehose 12, thus converting the motion of the hose, in a direction of anarrow 55, substantially orthogonal to the x-axis, to the rotation of thepulley 58 and as a result of the rotation, to an oscillatory motion in ±x directions, between the first and second ends 54 and 56, as shown by thearrow 15. - Referring further to the drawings,
FIGS. 5A-5J schematically illustrate thedevice 50, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. - As seen in
FIG. 5A and 5B , theshaft 52 further includes first andsecond threads first thread 64, towards thefirst end 54, will be transferred to thesecond thread 66 at thefirst end 54, and an element moving along thesecond thread 66, towards thesecond end 56, will be transferred to thefirst thread 64 at thesecond end 56. - As seen in
FIG. 5A and 5C , thepulley 58 is annular and is adapted to fit over theshaft 52, and move along theshaft 52. - As seen in
FIG. 5A and 5D , aarched element 62 fits within asocket 68 of thepulley 58. Thearched element 62 is similar in construction to theelement 36 ofFIGS. 2A-2B , and has an arch 63 serving as an internal thread, which is adapted to engage with the first and secondexternal threads shaft 52, and is further adapted to move from thefirst thread 64 to thesecond thread 66, at thefirst end 54, and from thesecond thread 66 to thefirst thread 64, at thesecond end 56. - The structure and operation of the
arched element 62 are described inFIGS. 5G-5J . - As seen in
FIG. 5G thearched element 62 includes thearched segment 63, having the geometry of an internal thread which may engage either with the firstexternal thread 64 or with the secondexternal thread 66. -
FIG. 5H provides a side view of thepulley 58 and thesocket 68, as well as thearched element 62. A cap (not shown) may keep thearched element 62 in thesocket 68 and prevent it from moving in the +z direction, away from thepulley 58. -
FIG. 5I schematically illustrates the arch 63, located in an angular position +α, adapted for engagement with the right-handed,first thread 64 of theshaft 52, leading to a rotation in a clockwise direction, andFIG. 5J schematically illustrates the arch 63, located in an angular position −α, adapted for engagement with the left-handedsecond thread 66 of theshaft 52, leading to rotation in a counterclockwise direction, by thearched element 62. - Thus, when the
pulley 58 is made to rotate around theshaft 52, by the hose 12 (FIG. 4 ), in the direction of ρ, thearched element 62, fitted insocket 68, and being engaged with either the right-handed,first thread 64 or the left-handedsecond thread 66, forces the pulley to move in the oscillatory motion, in the ±x directions, between the first and second ends 54 and 56, on the first andsecond threads shaft 52. In consequence, thepulley 58 also moves in the oscillatory motion, in the ±x directions, between the first and second ends 54 and 56. Thus, thehose 12, received by thepulley 58 moves with thepulley 58, in the oscillatory motion, in the ±x directions, between the first and second ends 54 and 56. - As seen in
FIG. 5A and 5E , thepulley 58 may be enclosed by ahousing 78 for better containing thehose 12 which is received by it. - As seen in
FIG. 5A and 5F , thedevice 50 further has abase 72, having end stops 74 and 76, for housing theshaft 52. It will be appreciated that unlike thesystem 20 of the prior art (FIGS. 2A-2B ) theshaft 52 does not rotate. Rather, thepulley 58 rotates on thestationary shaft 52, theshaft 52 being fixed within thebase 72. - Referring further to the drawings,
FIGS. 6A-6C schematically illustrate various surfaces that may be employed on thepulley 58, for creating friction between thehose 12 and thepulley 58, in accordance with the present invention. - Since the
hose 12 is operative as a belt, high frictional forces between thehose 12 and thepulley 58 is desired, to prevent slippage. The high frictional forces may be achieved by choosing surfaces of high frictional coefficients. - As seen in
FIG. 6A , thepulley 58 may havegroves 82 or another design for creating a rough surface topulley 58. - As seen in
FIG. 6B , the surface of thepulley 58 may be coated by anelastomer 86 such as natural or synthetic rubber, or the like, for creating a high-friction, essentially, non-slip surface. - As seen in
FIG. 6C , thepulley 58 may be coated by anelastomer 86 such as natural or synthetic rubber, or the like, for creating a high-friction, essentially, non-slip surface, on whichgroves 88 or another pattern may be formed. - It will be appreciated that the
hose 12 too may have a rough surface, for example, formed of ribs, or another pattern, in order to increase the friction between thehose 12 and thepulley 58. - It will be appreciated that many other patterns and surfaces may be employed for creating friction between the
hose 12 and thepulley 58, to prevent slippage. - Referring further to the drawings,
FIGS. 7A and 7B schematically illustrate two basic arrangements between thepulley 58 and thehose 12, in accordance with the present invention. - The
hose 12, of a weight W, is moving in the direction of thearrow 55, as it is pulled by thereel 14, at a force F, having a vertical component Fv. Given a coefficient of friction μ, then the frictional forces of thehose 12 on thepulley 58 are as follows: - As seen in
FIG. 7A , thehose 12 is received by thepulley 58 above thepulley 58, wherein thepulley 58 rotates in the direction of anarrow 51. The normal force N excreted by thehose 12 on thepulley 58 is:
N=W−F v - and the frictional force of the
hose 12 on thepulley 58 is:
F FRICTION=μ(W−F v) - As seen in
FIG. 7B , thehose 12 is received by thepulley 58 under thepulley 58, wherein thepulley 58 rotates in the direction of anarrow 53. The normal force N excreted by thehose 12 on thepulley 58 is:
N=F v −W - and the frictional force of the
hose 12 on thepulley 58 is:
F FRICTION=μ(F v −W). - Thus the optimal arrangement must be evaluated specifically for each case, depending on the weight of the
specific hose 12, an angle α by which thereel 14 pulls at thehose 12 and the force F of thereel 14. - Referring further to the drawings,
FIGS. 8A-8C schematically illustrate aspring arrangement 92 for pressing thehose 12 against thepulley 58, for operation with thedevice 50 for evenly winding thehose 12 on thereel 14, in accordance with the present invention. - The
spring arrangement 92 includes aspring 94, attached to asecond pulley 98, via apin 95 and ahousing 96. Thespring arrangement 92 is operative to maintain a pressure between thehose 12 and thepulley 58, thus increasing the normal force N (FIGS. 7A and 7B ) of thehose 12 against thepulley 58, hence the frictional forces between thehose 12 and thepulley 58, preventing slippage of thehose 12 against thepulley 58, and providing a smooth operation of the device 50 (FIG. 5A ). - Referring further to the drawings,
