Definitions

• the invention relates to the method of installing a pipe cable clamp for guiding cables in pipes, in particular sewer network pipes, with repeated tensioning of the clamping strap and an installation device for carrying out this method.
• Japanese Patent Application JPH05272664 describes the fixing of cables in pipes by means of horseshoe- shaped spring-loaded brackets made of a flat material and fixed along the walls of the pipe with the open part facing downwards. These brackets abut on the inner walls of the pipe only by the force of their pre- springing and are set into the pipe by means of inverted T-shaped segments detachably attached by means of locks to the brackets at the ends of their arms which enclose the horseshoe shape to a smaller diameter than the pipe diameter and which are interconnected with a pulling cord.
• the T-segments After transporting the brackets to the place of destination in the pipeline, the T-segments are disconnected from the brackets by pulling them in one direction by means of a pulling cord.
• the method of fastening the brackets is very complicated and the reliability of their fastening at a specific place is quite problematic, also due to the obviously weak expansion force of the brackets given only by the prestressing of the material used.
• Another European patent EP1271728 relates to a similar fastening element, but made of a flexibly expandable thermoplastic material which is expanded by means of hot water or steam.
• the magnitude of the pressing force holding the fastening element in place is debatable; furthermore this design considerably reduces the inner diameter of the pipe and its disassembly or re-installation of cables is practically impossible.
• a similar cable fastening system is described in Japanese Patent Applications JP2002250849, JPH06339216 and British Patent Application GB2345388, where the cable fastening is performed with a special foam at either the top or bottom of the pipe.
• German Patent Application DE19825325 addresses the solution for laying optical cables by means of a longitudinally folded hose made of fabric or gel material, on the outer surface of which the optical cables are fixed.
• the hose material is impregnated with a thermosetting or UV curable resin. After it is inserted into the pipe, the hose is stretched and pressed against the inner surface of the pipe with pressurized air and subsequently it is cured by heat or UV radiation. Any inspection of installation (lying) of optical cables, or their replacement or addition of another cable is impossible.
• the resistance of the material of the hose inserted to the pipe to mechanical or chemical influences given by the internal environment of the waste pipe also appears to be problematic.
• European Patent Application EP0936479 describes a clamp with a clamping closure, the basis of which is a helically wound flat clamping strap with transverse sections, which is anchored in the clamp with one end, then surrounds the inner surface of the pipe and with the other free end it is inserted back into the clamp with the clamping closure provided with a releasable snap-in element.
• the clamping closure is provided with a spring acting extensively on the clamping strap via its mechanism, whereby the clamp is fixed around the inner wall of the pipe.
• this solution is intended for pipes from a diameter of 200 mm, that also being due to the dimensions of the clamping closure, which significantly reduces the clearance of the pipe, which is also due to the location of springs above the clamping strap.
• the concept of the clamp installation device described in the European Patent File EP0978743 it is only feasible in straight sections of the backbone sections of waste piping systems.
• the pipe cable clamp according to this design comprises a helically wound flat clamping strap provided with transverse slots, to which at least one cable bracket is mounted and which comprises an external thread and an internal thread, as well as a clamping lock in which the clamping strap is mounted.
• the internal thread of the clamping strap is mounted slidably in the body of the clamping lock, and on the other hand, the clamping lock comprises compression springs coupled to the internal thread of the clamping strap.
• the essence of the solution lies in the fact that the springs are mounted in the clamping lock along the edges of the clamping strap outside the contour of its perpendicular projection to the cylindrical surface of the pipe, while the compression springs being coupled with the inner thread of the clamping strap by a travel member slidably mounted in the clamping lock.
• the travel member is provided at the end opposite the rear wall of the clamping lock with spring stops, against which the springs lean at one end, while at the other end they lean against the rear wall of the clamping lock.
• the travel member is coupled with the internal thread of the clamping strap by means of a push tongue pivoted in the travel member, while the travel member is adapted both to fix it in the rear position when the springs are compressed and to release it by means of a latch.
• This latch is slidably mounted in the vertical direction in a bottom-open latch cavity formed in the travel member, where the latch spring also resting in the latch cavity abuts on the upper surface of the latch.
• a through-latch hole is formed in the bottom of the inner cavity, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the respective part of the latch with which they are mutually compatible.
• the subject of the solution according to PV 2018-382 is the set of devices for the installation of the pipe cable clamp.
• This assembly is adapted for movement through the piping and comprises both the support body and an expansion mechanism with a clamping wheel.
• the individual devices can be mutually coupled by articulated joints in an arbitrary number of pieces.
• the support body of each device is provided with a clamping bed for accommodating a clamping lock of the pipe cable clamp, the clamping lock being fixed to the clamping bed by clamping between the jaws of the jaw mechanism.
• the shape and the dimensions of the clamping bed correspond to the shapes and dimensions of the clamping lock of the pipe cable clamp.
• a firing drive for fixing the pipe cable clamp in the pipe is placed under the clamping bed and a through firing hole is formed in the surface of the clamping bed, where this hole corresponds with its dimensions and position to the shapes and position of the latch of the travel member of the pipe cable clamp lock.
• the firing drive is equipped with a firing pin, the dimensions and location of which correspond to the dimensions and position of the firing hole.
• the device is provided with a telescopic strut mechanism with at least one telescopic strut. To ensure the movement through and along the pipeline, the device is provided with a bogie with travel wheels mounted on the wheel shafts of the travel motors, which are slidably mounted with respect to the support body in the vertical direction, their vertical movement being controlled by lifting motors.
• the method of installing a pipe clamp with repeated re-tensioning of the clamping strap according to the invention contributes to the elimination of the above-mentioned problems.
• This method of installation employs the pipe cable clamp according to this design comprises a helically wound flat clamping strap provided with transverse slots, to which at least one cable bracket is mounted and which comprises an external thread and an internal thread, as well as a clamping lock in which the clamping strap is mounted.
• the inner thread of the clamping strap is slidably mounted in the clamping lock body and the clamping lock comprises compression springs which abut with one end on the spring stops of the clamping lock and at the other end they abut on the rear wall of the clamping lock and are coupled with the inner thread of the clamping strap via the travel slidably mounted member in the clamping lock.
• a pushing tongue is pivoted in the travel member, this pushing tongue being provided at its end facing the end of the travel member with spring stops with an upward directed tooth engaged in one of the transverse slots of the clamping strap, and being pushed upwards by a spring-loaded pressure element housed in the travel member.
• the helically wound clamping strap gradually expands by the action of the clamping wheel of the expansion mechanism of the installation device by increasing its diameter until it adheres to the inner surface of the pipe over its entire outer circumference.
• the essence of the invention lies in the fact that the next phase of the installation consists in at least one re-tensioning of the clamping strap, which is performed by repeated prestressing and releasing of springs by the fastening mechanism of the installation device, always with fixing the previously reached clamping strap clamping position.
• the clamping lock In the initial position of the re-clamping phase of the installation, the clamping lock is intercepted by the fastening pliers of the fastening mechanism so that its travel member is slightly compressed in order for the springs to generate sufficient pressure to prevent the clamp from popping out of the clamping bed of the installation device.
• the fastening pliers of the fastening mechanism move the travel member in the clamping lock to the fully retracted position, thereby maximally compressing the springs and displacing the tooth of the push tongue by at least one slot in the clamping strap. Furthermore, after fixing the achieved re-clamped position of the clamping strap, the travel member of the clamping lock is released by the fastening pliers of the fastening mechanism so that it returns to the initial installation position and the clamping strap is further extended and re-clamped.
• the described re-tensioning cycle is repeated until the phase when the clamping strap can no longer be tensioned, because during tensioning the tooth of the push tongue no longer moves by a single slot in the strap, which is identified by not hearing the characteristic sound of the tooth of the push tongue snapping into the next slot in the strap.
• the clamping wheel of the expansion mechanism can be used to an advantage to fix the previously reached tensioning position of the clamping strap.
• the installation device for carrying out the method according to the invention which is adapted to move through the pipeline, is provided with a telescopic strut mechanism with at least one telescopic strut for temporary fixation in the pipeline during clamp installation and can be mutually coupled with articulated joints to other identical or similar installation devices.
• It comprises a support body and an expansion mechanism with a clamping wheel, which has a lifting drive mounted in the lower clamping housing, the lifting piston of the drive passing through a piston hole into the inner cavity of the upper clamping housing, where a wheel bed fixed to the expansion piston is slidably mounted in the vertical direction.
• a toothed clamping wheel is pivoted in the wheel bed rotating around the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support body.
• the toothed clamping wheel is mounted on the support axis of the expansion drive, slidably in the motor housing in the vertical direction, whose teeth correspond dimensionally to the transverse slots of the clamping strap.
• the essence of the invention consists in the fact that the installation device further comprises a fastening mechanism, which is formed by fastening pliers, to exert pressure on the springs through the travel member of the clamping lock.
• the fastening pliers have a motion mechanism consisting of a threaded rod, a servomotor with a transmission and a gear with an internal thread corresponding to the threaded rod.
• the fastening pliers In an arrangement where the path of the springs is the sector and the path of the fastening pliers also describes the shape of the sector, the fastening pliers have an articulated attachment to the body of the installation device on the pins at the centre of rotation.
• the main benefit of the method of installing the pipe cable clamp and the installation device for carrying it out according to the invention consists in the fact that the re-tensioning of the clamping strap in the pipe takes place gradually in several steps. This significantly increases the achievable force exerted by the clamp strap on the surface of the pipe and thus increases the fixation efficiency.
