Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowcat with a winch assembly comprising a rotatable winch arm and a reel on which a winch cable is held up and unwound.
  • a snowcat for the processing of snow terrain is generally known, cf. EP1 331 198 A1 and US 5,765,782 A.
  • snow groomers are equipped with a winch assembly located behind a cab.
  • the winch assembly has a winch leading winch arm which is rotatably supported relative to the vehicle.
  • the winch assembly comprises a reel on which the winch rope is held up and unwound.
  • a cable end in the extension direction of the winch rope is fastened to a stationary point above the steep slope to be worked.
  • the cable winch arrangement is provided with a winch drive, which supports a chain drive of the snow groomer during winching operation and thus permits tillage even on steep terrain.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a snowcat as well as a winch assembly of the type mentioned, allow the extended use of the snow groomer.
  • the winch cable winch assembly has a maximum cable pull force of more than 40,000 N, in particular in the range between 41,000 N and 50,000 N.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment has a tensile force of 45 kN, which is referred to in the jargon as a tensile force of 4.5 t.
  • the high maximum traction enables surface treatment in particularly steep terrain, where the weight of the snow groomer is more important than on flat terrain.
  • the underlying object of the invention solved in that the reel drive is designed to be controllable, that means are provided for detecting a rope layer of the winch rope on the reel, and that means for controlling the reel drive taking into account the rope layer of the winch rope on the reel are provided such that a rope tension of the winch rope in Area between reel and Spillgetriebe is at least largely kept constant.
  • the substantially constant bias allows a particularly accurate and uniform winding or unwinding of the winch cable from the reel. This also large cable lengths can be wound on the reel or deducted from this, without any miswinding or damage of the winch rope occur.
  • the cable winch assembly with a reel associated with a capstan spool, which has two parallel axes of rotation mounted on spill shafts Spillkopfikien and a drive for the Spillgetriebe associated, parallel to the axes of rotation drive shaft which drives the spill shaft by means of a gear transmission
  • the spill shafts means Rolling bearings are mounted in a spill housing, it is provided that the rolling bearings are provided on their facing the open portions of a Spillgetriebegephases sides with dustproof or pollution-proof seals. Suitable seals are in particular labyrinth or channel seals. This prevents the rolling bearings from getting dirty and having to be replaced prematurely.
  • each Spillkopfiser six Spill heads on which the winch cable is deflected.
  • Known capstan for snow groomers have seven or more spill heads per Spillkopftician.
  • the reduced number of only six Spillköpfen reduces the number of necessary bending changes for the winch rope, whereby a reduced stress of the winch rope is given.
  • all spill heads have a usable diameter of between 300 and 330 mm.
  • This usable Diameter is increased compared to known Spillgropfen.
  • the increased usable diameter inevitably leads to a larger radius for a deflection of the winch rope and consequently to a smaller curvature or bending of the winch rope.
  • the stress of the winch rope is reduced in a winch operation of the snowcat. Due to the increased diameter corresponding occurring, higher loads on the capstan are compensated by the design of the components of the capstan, in particular of gear pairs of the capstan, with higher collateral.
  • a snowcat 1 after Fig. 1 is intended for the processing of snow terrain.

  • the usable rope length is the rope length to which the winch rope W is fully extended and stretched state extends between the front in the extension direction cable end and a front end of the winch arm 3, where the winch rope W leaves the winch arm 3.
  • the cable winch arrangement 2 is a drive drum winch arrangement which comprises a reel 6 mounted in a stationary manner in the carrier frame 4 and a spinner gear 7 located upstream of the reel 6.
  • the spill gear 7 has two spaced apart with parallel axes of rotation Spillkopfiseren 11, 12, which are each formed by six adjacent Spillköpfe 11a.
  • Each spill head is a pulley, wherein the six spill heads 11a are coaxially flanged together in a manner not shown and form a compact, one-piece functional unit, namely the Spillkopfmaschine 11, 12. All spill heads of the two Spillkopftechniken 11, 12 are designed identically and have a usable diameter of 310 mm.
  • the usable diameter is measured in the area of a bottom of each groove-shaped annular groove of each spud head 11a.
  • the two Spillkopfritten 11, 12 have in the region of their axes of rotation at a distance from each other, which is 350 mm.
  • the two Spillkopfritten 11, 12 are by means of a gear transmission, as in the Fig. 4 and 6 with the reference numeral 9, 10, 18 indicated, jointly drivable.
  • a controllable hydraulic motor 8 is provided, which is connected to a vehicle-side hydraulic control.
  • Fig. 6 On a driven by the hydraulic motor 8 drive shaft sits in accordance Fig. 6 opposite to the hydraulic motor 8 a not described in detail and in Fig. 6 indicated brake 15.
  • the representation in the Fig. 2 to 4 is only functional. In the presentation according to Fig. 5 For reasons of clarity, the brake 15 is omitted.
  • the spill gearing 7, which comprises the toothed gearing and the spill head units 11, 12 and corresponding spill shafts serving to mount the spill head units 11, 12, is accommodated within a spill gearing housing 13, 14.
  • the unspecified spill shafts ( Fig. 6 ) of the two Spillkopfikien 11, 12 are rotatably supported by means of rolling bearings 16 in the Spillgetriebegephase 13, 14.
  • the bearings 16 are each assigned a channel seal 17 on their sides facing the spill head units 11, 12, which seals the housing sections of the spill gear housing 13, 14 open to the respective spill head unit 11, 12. Instead of channel seals 17 and labyrinth seals can be provided.
  • the channel seals 17 or corresponding labyrinth seals seal corresponding gaps between Spillkopfiki 11, 12 and housing walls of Spillgetriebegephaseuses 13, 14 so pollution-free and dust-free that no dirt can get into the rolling bearings 16.
  • the gear drive and the corresponding shafts are stored wet running.
  • By the described seals by means of the channel seals 17 or labyrinth seals for the capstan 7 a lifetime of more than 5000 hours of operation and an oil change cycle is achieved after every about 600 hours of operation.
  • the six spill heads 11a on the two spill head units 11, 12 lead to corresponding cable deflections of the winch rope W in the area of the spill gear 7 of a total of two times six bending changes. These are based on the Fig. 4 and 5 recognizable.
  • the reel 6 is assigned a cable winding arm 19 ( Fig. 5 ), which exactly guides the winch cable W for cable windings distributed in parallel, over the entire width of the reel 6, in different, uniform winding layers.
  • each winding layer of the winch rope W on the reel 6 fifty rope windings, which are also referred to as cable turns.
  • each Cable winding or cable winding corresponds to a 360 ° wrap of the winch rope W on the cylinder surface of the reel 6.
  • a rotation axis of the reel 6 is associated with a sensor S for detecting the revolutions of the reel 6, which is designed as an absolute encoder in the form of a rotary encoder.
  • This sensor S comprises angles of rotation and revolutions of the reel 6. Since the number of rope windings in each winding layer of the winch rope W on the reel 6 by a rope thickness and a corresponding, usable for rope windings width of the reel 6 is predetermined, the sensor S can detect as soon as a winding layer of the winch rope W on the reel 6 is completed and the winding or settlement of the next winding layer begins.
  • This information determined by the sensor S uses an electronic control unit St, which evaluates the determined information and drives a drive M.
  • a control of the drive M by a suitable increase or reduction of the revolutions of the reel 6 is dependent on the distance of the respective winding layer to the axis of rotation of the reel 6.
  • the corresponding control of the drive M takes into account that further outwardly located winding layers a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation of the reel. 6 have as more inner winding layers.
  • the speed of the drive M acting on the reel 6 must be Depending on the winding or unwinding state of the winch rope W are adjusted accordingly. Since the rope speed of the winch rope W relatively easy from the rotational speed of the reel 6 and the distance of the currently withdrawn or wound winding layer can be calculated to the axis of rotation of the reel 6, via the control unit St with the detection of the current winding position by counting the revolutions of the reel 6 in unwinding or winding also allows the assignment to corresponding desired data stored in a memory of the control unit St. A corresponding comparison between actual values and setpoints leads to the corresponding control of the drive M.
  • the drive M is designed as a hydraulic drive, which is controlled pressure-dependent.
  • the drive M is designed as a hydraulic adjusting motor.
  • the control of the reel drive is therefore carried out in the following steps:
  • the sensor S counts the number of revolutions that the reel 6 performs in both directions of rotation.
  • the first reel is filled up. Further rotation of the reel 6 in the same direction of rotation leads to a filling of the cable windings of the second winding layer. After another fifty turns, the third wrap is started and so on.
  • monitoring of the cable winding arm 19 can be provided in order to ensure that the cable winding arm 19 actually distributes the individual cable windings over the entire width of the reel 6.
  • set values are stored at which reel speed for each reel a constant rope tension range between 1500 and 3000 N - measured in the range of the winch W between reel 6 and spill gearing 7 - results.
  • a comparison with the setpoint inevitably leads to a desired speed for the reel drive M, which in the Target data is assigned a correspondingly appropriate hydraulic pressure.
  • This is set by appropriate control by means of the control unit St and adapted at a respective winding or unwinding the reel 6 respectively. By the pressure control, the desired speed change of the reel 6 is dependent on the detected winding position.
  • the cable winch arrangement described achieves a maximum traction force of 45 kN.
  • 40 kN can be achieved for a driving speed of up to 8 km / h and 25 kN at a speed of 16.5 km / h.
  • the cable pull forces of 25 kN or 40 kN can also be achieved up to higher speed ranges.
