  • Patent number: 9932210
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plugging device for releasably connecting the drum wheel (2) of the at least one loose drum rotatably mounted on the main shaft of a winding engine, said drum wheel being rigidly connected to the loose drum, to the shaft wheel (4) which is rigidly connected to the main shaft. The releasable connection of the drum wheel (2) to the shaft wheel (4) is carried out in a formfitting manner by means of an engageable and disengageable sliding wheel (6) which is guided on a shaft wheel (4). Actuations (10) are carried out in points in a distributed manner over the circumference of the sliding wheel, said actuations acting directly on the sliding wheel (6), in order to engage and disengage the sliding wheel (6).

  • Publication number: 20140167980
    Abstract: Method for measuring cable loads in a mineshaft (2), comprising the steps: provision of cable load measuring elements (6) on the conveyor means, provision of a cableless transmitter for cable load measured values on the conveyor means (4), connected to the cable load measuring elements, provision of a cableless receiver (12) for cable load measured values at the level of the surface of the mineshaft, provided with an output interface, measurement of the cable loads on the conveyor means by means of the cable load measuring elements for generating cable load values; and transmission of the cable load values in a cableless fashion between the transmitter (10) and the receiver for cable load measured values; and evaluation by means of an evaluation program with specification of the correction values.
