Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cable cleaning device.

Cable cleaning devices currently in use all utilize brushes to brush away rust, debris, and lubricant from the outer surface of the cable.

Due to the bulk of such cleaning equipment, cleaning operations must be carried out on the ground, which means that the cables must first be removed from the equipment and then cleaned. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cable cleaning device that does not require the use of a brush and can clean the cable as it is. Fushimuro 13 and
positioned within the encirclement chamber 13 to direct a high pressure jet of cleaning fluid onto the surface of the cable and arranged to impinge on the surface at an angle oblique to the axis of the cable and deflect away from the surface of the cable 12; A plurality of nozzles 23 and a discharge means 16, 1 for discharging the cleaning liquid from the encircling chamber 13 together with mixed dust and other foreign matter? ,18,
19, and the portion of the encircling chamber 13 which receives the high pressure jet of cleaning fluid is arcuate in order to direct it away from the surface of the cable 12 along with dirt and other foreign matter mixed in the cleaning fluid. It is characterized by:

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the somewhat cylindrical body 11 is divided into two halves to fit around the cable 12 to be cleaned.

In the assembled state, the body 11 has an encircling chamber 13 formed therein. At each end of the body 11 there is an elastic seal 1
4, a seal 14 provided at the front end of the body is compressed by a plate 14a attached to the end of a screw-down member 14b projecting through the body, and the back surfaces of these seals are connected by a passage 15. Connected to this passage 15 is a manifold 16 provided with an outlet 17 adapted to be connected to a suction conduit. One end of the encirclement chamber 13, which receives the high-pressure dinitrate of the cleaning fluid stream diverted from the surface of the cable 12, is arched to direct the cleaning stream carrying debris away from the cable 12. The arcuate portion of the encirclement chamber 13 is connected to the manifold 16 via a hole or opening 18, and the arcuate portion of the encirclement chamber 13
The other end is provided with an outlet 19 which also connects to a suction conduit (not shown). When the cleaning fluid passes through the arcuate portion of the encircling chamber 13, most of the cleaning fluid passes through the opening 18 due to the centrifugal force acting on the fluid, and the cable to be cleaned 12
It is designed so that it cannot return to the vicinity of the area, so as not to interfere with the cleaning action of the high-speed Ginnit. The manifold 20 is provided with an inlet 21 which connects via a passageway 22 to a series of nozzles 23, respectively.
3 is arranged around the cable to be cleaned inside the encircling chamber 13, and is configured to spray high-pressure dinit on the surface of the cable 12 inside the encircling chamber obliquely in the axial direction. Although the device may use any suitable fluid, it is preferred to use lubricants normally used to lubricate cables.

Fluid is approximately 281.24 to 351.55 kg/Cfl
The pressure is about 1 (4000 to 5000 p.s.i.). The high pressure dinit impinging on the cable 12 removes all foreign matter from the surface of the cable, and the lubricant percolates from the surface of the cable to the interior of the core. The tongue flap or lip flap projection 24 of the collar protruding inside the arcuate part in the collar chamber 13 causes the used cleaning fluid mixed with solid substances to fall onto the surface of the cable again and pass through the nozzle 23. It has the function of not interfering with the action of high-pressure dinit emitted from the pipe. still,
The discharge means is provided in an arcuate portion provided so that the used cleaning fluid entrained with dirt is directed away from the cable 12 to one end of the encirclement chamber 13 which receives the high-pressure dinitrate of the cleaning fluid deflected from the surface of the cable. a hole or aperture 18;
It consists of a manifold 16 that communicates with the encirclement section through an aperture 8, an outlet 17 provided in this manifold, and another outlet 19 provided at the other end of the encirclement chamber.

As shown in FIG.
is conveyed through a conduit 31 and discharged into a settling tank 33 provided with a baffle plate 34.

The fluid then passes through a filter 35 to a clean oil reservoir 3.
Sent to 6. Pump 37 pumps oil from storage tank 36,
It is sent to a high pressure pump 42 through filters 40, 39 and a cooler 41. High pressure oil is delivered via conduit 43 to the inlet 21 of the cleaning device. A portion of the high-pressure fluid is also fed via a pressure reducing valve 44 to a hydraulic motor 45 of a tensioning device 46 connected to the cable cleaning device. Since the cleaning device is relatively lightweight and compact, it can be pulled along the cable without removing it.

Such a cleaning system is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Cable cleaning device A supports support cable C supporting tower T
It is connected to a tensioning device 46 attached to the. A device for carrying out the cleaning action and for supplying oil to the tensioning device 46 and the cable cleaning A is housed in a platform P suspended from a cable running device X attached to the support cable C. A worker's room 0C is provided on the platform P. When in use, the entire completed device is first pulled upwards over the support cable C, and then connected to the cable 12.
It is controlled by the cleaning worker and linked to the ground.

In a variant embodiment, the parts of the system for supplying oil to the tensioning device 46 and to the cable cleaning device A are mounted on a transportable, i.e. mobile, platform above the ground, and the oil is supplied through a long high-pressure hose. Ru.

The present invention having the above-described structure allows the high-voltage dinit to collide with the cable at an oblique angle with respect to the axial direction of the cable.
- In addition to cleaning between the fibers of the cable, the cleaning solution containing dirt and other foreign matter is prevented from returning to the vicinity of the cable by the arcuate part of the annulus chamber, and the arcuate part and the annulus Since the cables are discharged by the discharge means provided at the other end of each section, they can be efficiently cleaned without interfering with the cleaning action of the high-speed GINIT.Also, the cables can be cleaned while lying in the same position, so they can be reattached to the equipment. There's no need.

Moreover, since this cleaning liquid has the function of cleaning and lubricating the cable at the same time, it is possible to carry out cleaning work and lubricant application work, which are dangerous work at high places, at the same time. The technical contents of the present invention are summarized as follows.
