Cable roller with a frequency converter device
View Patent ↗A frequency converter device is integrated inside a cable roller, in such a manner that at least one socket is supplied at special frequency. The socket does not rotate when the cable is wound or unwound on the drum. Furthermore, optimal cooling is created and the frequency converter device is made of at least one frequency converter enabling a special frequency to be provided.
1. A cable roller, comprising:
a frame,
a frequency converter device for alternating electric current, the frequency converter device being fastened to the frame and converting an input frequency of a line current into at least one output frequency of a special current that has a different frequency than the frequency of the input frequency,
a power cable which supplies the frequency converter device with the line current and which is electrically connected to the frequency converter device,
a drum which is mounted rotatably relative to the frame and on which the power cable is windable,
wherein the frequency converter device is provided in an at least substantially stationary manner on the frame.
2. The cable roller according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one socket-outlet supplied by the frequency converter device.
3. The cable roller according to claim 2 , wherein the socket-outlet is stationary during rotation of the drum.
4. The cable roller according to claim 1 , wherein the drum surrounds the frequency converter device and forms at least part of a housing of the frequency converter device.
5. The cable roller according to claim 4 , wherein the frequency converter device is surrounded at least partially by a housing wall which is situated between the frequency converter device and the drum, and wherein air for cooling purposes is situated in an interspace between the housing wall and the drum.
6. The cable roller according to claim 4 , wherein the drum is surrounded at least partially by a housing wall which is situated between the frequency converter device and the drum, and wherein air for cooling purposes is situated in an interspace between the housing wall and the frequency converter device.
7. The cable roller according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency converter device surrounds the drum and forms at least part of a housing of the drum.
8. The cable roller according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical connection between the frequency converter device and the power cable is realized via at least two slipring devices.
9. The cable roller according to claim 1 , further comprising a cooling device is for cooling the frequency converter device.
10. The cable roller according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency converter device comprises one or more frequency converters.
11. The cable roller according to claim 1 , wherein the frame forms a rack for carrying the drum.
