Definitions

• the invention relates to a winch with a housing according to the preambles of claims 1 and 14.
• WO 93/15705 shows a ceiling lifter in which a hanger for a patient is hung on a central hook on the underside of the lifter. An opening is provided on the top of the lifter, through which a traction means is guided, which can be connected to a running gear movable on a ceiling rail.
• the lifter housing contains an electric motor and its energy supply together with a gearbox, with the motor shaft being firmly connected to the gearbox input shaft.
• a traction device roller sits on the transmission output shaft for winding and unwinding the traction device. In operation, the lifter pulls itself up and with it the person to be transported.
• this lifter is only suitable for a special application and therefore cannot be used universally.
• this lifter cannot be easily transported over a long distance by one person without additional aids; the weight and shape of the lifter is such that it can only be carried around by one person.
• the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive, universally usable wind power plant, in particular for the home, which can be transported relatively comfortably by one person without further aids.
• the box-like housing designed in size and shape in the manner of a suitcase, has a suspension on one outside and an opening for the passage of the traction means on the opposite outside and can be transported by a person in the manner of a portable windmill and that Electric motor, the gear and the traction roller lie in a common, preferably horizontal, plane.
• the replaceability of the windmill can be improved if the suspension of the flat housing is arranged centrally on one of the two flat sides and the opening is arranged centrally on the opposite flat side.
• the housing is expediently formed from two housing halves which are detachably connected to one another.
• the housing has a handle on one long side.
• control unit for controlling the winding and unwinding movement is accommodated in the housing.
• control unit should be able to be operated remotely via a receiver unit arranged in the housing.
• Mains-independent operation can be achieved if an energy supply from at least one accumulator housed in the housing is provided.
• a power cable for energy supply can be connected to the housing.
• the accumulator can expediently be charged via the power cable.
• the power cable can be manually wound up when not in use on at least one winding element arranged on the housing.
• the winding of the power cable can be easily designed if several winding elements for the power cable are provided on the same transverse side.
• a suitcase-like, i.e. A flat winch can be obtained inexpensively with little technical effort if the electric motor is designed as a universal motor and the gear as a self-locking worm gear and if the universal motor is also connected to the worm gear via a belt drive.
• the belt drive used here together with the worm gear is predestined for a flat design.
• a belt drive is usually not used for hoists; here, however, the use of the universally usable winch as a hoist is still ensured.

• Fig. 1 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of the windmill with a housing 1, which consists of two housing halves 1a, 1b.
• the box-like flat housing 1 resembles a suitcase in size and shape.
• a suspension 2 in the form of a fold-out hook 2a is arranged on the upper flat side (outer side 3a) with reference to FIG. 1.
• an opening 3c is formed, through which a traction means 4 in the form of a rope 4a is guided, with a load suspension means 5 (hook 5a) attached to the end of the traction means 4.
• the two detachable housing halves 1a, 1b are firmly connected to one another in the operating state.
• FIG. 2 shows the windwork according to FIG. 1 without the two housing halves 1a, 1b.
• the wind power plant consists of an electric motor 6 which can be operated with direct and / or alternating current, with a downstream transmission 7 and a traction means roller 8 for winding and unwinding the traction means 4.
• the motor shaft of the electric motor 6 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the transmission input shaft of the transmission 7, on the transmission output shaft thereof again the traction roller 8 is seated.
• the traction means 4 is guided downwards via a further roller 9.
• 2 also shows the energy supply 10 arranged in the housing 1, in the exemplary embodiment in the form of accumulators 10a.
• the term energy supply 10 also includes connection to a power supply (power grid).
• a charger 11 is also housed in the housing.
• a control unit 12 in the housing 1, which has an infrared receiver unit 13 (see FIG. 7), the input of which is accessible from the outside.
• the control unit 12 serves to control the movement of the electric motor 6.
• the traction roller 8 is a rope drum when using a rope as a traction device 4 (and a chain wheel when using a chain).
• the electric motor 6, the power supply 10, the gear 7 and the traction roller 8 are in a common plane.
• the suspension 2 and the opening 3c lie on a straight line passing through the center of mass of the wind power plant (can be seen better in FIG. 4a).
• the suspension 2 of the flat housing 1 is arranged centrally on one of the two flat sides (outer sides 3a) and the opening 3c centrally on the opposite flat side (outer side 3b). This essentially results in a horizontal position during operation of the suspended wind turbine.
• FIG. 3 corresponds to FIG. 2, but without the accumulators 10a and the charger 11 and the control unit 12.
• 4a and 4b show a schematic representation of the winch with one or two hooks 2a as the suspension 2.
• the windmill can be seen as a "suitcase" ready for transport, a handle 14 being present on the upper longitudinal side of the housing 1.
• the winch can be carried relatively comfortably by one person due to its shape and weight.
• 1 winding elements 15 are arranged on the left end face of the housing, on which a power cable 16 can be wound.
• the power cable 16 is passed through a housing opening 17 and connected to the controller 12 and to the charger 11.
• the windmill itself can also be supplied with electrical energy via the power cable 12.
• FIG. 7 shows the housing 1 of the windmill according to FIG. 6 seen from the other side, so that the infrared receiver unit 13 can be seen.
• an accessory compartment which is accessible from the outside and in which e.g. the hook can be stored together with the rope.
• the installation of an accessory compartment is advisable since the interior always has usable free space.
• Fig. 8 shows a preferred constructive solution for a low-profile wind power plant with a cuboid housing 101 in a schematic representation seen from above, which can be used in particular as a small lifting device.
• a universal motor 102 which can be operated with direct and alternating current
• a brake 103 with the schematically represented elements 103a and a worm gear 104 as a gear
• a cable drive as a traction mechanism (traction roller or traction drum 105) lying in a common plane.
• a chain drive and the like can also be provided as the traction mechanism drive.
• the motor shaft 108 runs parallel to the axis of rotation 109 of the worm gear 104.
• the motor shaft 108 is connected to the axis of rotation 109 via a belt drive 110, the belt 110a of which is guided by a drive wheel 111 designed as a pulley, which is on the output side of the motor shaft 108 sits.
• a wheel 112 driven by the belt 110a is fastened on the axis of rotation 109 of the worm gear 104.
• the traction roller 105 which is driven directly by the worm gear 104, is located within a support frame 106 spatially between the universal motor 102 and the worm gear 104.
• FIG. 8 shows that the axis of rotation of the traction roller 105 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the Worm gear 104 runs.
• the traction means 113 is guided to the outside through a housing opening (not shown).
• FIG. 8 also shows an inlet opening 114 and an outlet opening 115 for cooling air (see arrows in FIG. 8).
• the housing area through which cooling air flows is separated from the adjacent area by an intermediate wall 116, in which the worm gear 104 and the traction roller 105 are located. Only a small opening for the passage of the belt 110a is provided in the intermediate wall 116.
• the fan wheel 118 which sits on the end of the motor shaft 108 opposite the driven side, sucks in cooling air through the inlet opening 114 and presses it in the direction of the motor shaft extension through the cooled housing area.
• the cooling air consequently cools the universal motor 102 and the brake 103 during motor operation.
• the universal motor 102 has motor windings connected in series and is therefore also referred to as a commutator series motor. It can only be operated by a motor (so-called 2-quadrant operation), so it does not generate any regenerative torque and therefore cannot be braked by the regenerative torque.
• the two motor windings of the universal motor 102 consist of one
• Rotor winding and one or more stator windings For example, two stator windings arranged parallel to one another are provided on both sides of the rotor winding. All three motor windings are connected in series during motor operation.
• the worm gear 104 is designed to be self-locking.
• the self-locking is set so that even the greatest load is held by the worm gear 104 when the universal motor 102 is stationary.
• the self-locking is greatest when the snail is stationary; it decreases with increasing speed of the screw, ie the universal motor 102 is subjected to a speed-dependent load torque.
• the self-locking worm gear 104 thus acts as a constantly effective brake when lifting and lowering.
• Traction means a rope
