Abstract

A hoist system includes a hook; a cable connected to the hook; a motor configured to move the hook and the cable; an overload protection device (OLPD) configured to limit loads imparted on one or more of the hook, the cable, and the motor. The hoist system further includes an emergency brake system configured to stop movement of at least the cable, where the emergency brake system is configured to operate in response to a manual control or automatically in response to a controller.

Claims (74)

1 . A hoist system comprising:

a hook;

a cable connected to the hook;

a motor configured to move the hook and the cable;

an overload protection device (OLPD) configured to slip at a certain torsional range and allow the cable to reel out in order to limit loads imparted on one or more of the hook, the cable, and the motor; and

an emergency brake system configured to stop movement of at least the cable,

wherein the overload protection device (OLPD) comprises an OLPD activation sensor configured to generate an activation signal;

wherein the emergency brake system is configured to be actuated by an actuation mechanism in response to one of the following: a manual control by a pilot and/or a crew in response to the activation signal or automatically by a controller in response to the activation signal; and

wherein the emergency brake system includes brake components;

wherein the overload protection device (OLPD) is configured to receive a torque from the motor and at the certain torsional range, the Overload Protection Device (OLPD) prevents torque from being delivered to the cable; and

wherein the emergency brake system is configured to operate only when aircraft flight is detected.

2 . The hoist system according to claim 1

wherein the emergency brake system comprises a brake disk and a brake drum;

wherein the brake drum is attached to a cable storage drum;

wherein the brake disk is configured to engage the brake drum to prevent rotation of the cable storage drum; and

wherein a torque from the motor is delivered to the cable storage drum through the Overload Protection Device (OLPD).

3 . The hoist system according to claim 1

wherein when the emergency brake system is actuated, the brake components prevent rotation of a cable storage drum;

wherein the motor is configured to provide torque through a first transmission portion of a reduction gearing to a load control brake assembly;

wherein the torque from the motor is configured to drive a second transmission portion of the reduction gearing and deliver the torque from the motor to the cable storage drum through the Overload Protection Device (OLPD); and

wherein the overload protection device (OLPD) comprises at least one electrically activated clutch.

4 . The hoist system according to claim 1

wherein the motor is configured to provide torque through a first transmission portion of a reduction gearing to a load control brake assembly;

wherein the torque from the motor is configured to drive a second transmission portion of the reduction gearing and deliver the torque from the motor to a cable storage drum through the Overload Protection Device (OLPD);

wherein the brake components comprise one or more brake shoes, brake pads, brake discs, and/or brake caliper; and

wherein when the emergency brake system is actuated, the brake components engage to prevent rotation of the cable storage drum.

5 . The hoist system according to claim 1

wherein the motor is configured to provide torque through a first transmission portion of a reduction gearing to a load control brake assembly;

wherein the torque from the motor is configured to drive a second transmission portion of the reduction gearing and deliver the torque from the motor to a cable storage drum through the Overload Protection Device (OLPD);

wherein the emergency brake system is configured to operate in response the manual control; and

wherein the manual control is configured to be implemented with one of the following: a dual action redundancy or a triple action redundancy.

6 . The hoist system according to claim 1

wherein the motor is configured to provide torque through a load control brake assembly and the Overload Protection Device (OLPD) to rotate a cable storage drum;

wherein the motor is configured to provide torque through a first transmission portion of a reduction gearing to the load control brake assembly;

wherein the torque from the motor is configured to drive a second transmission portion of the reduction gearing and deliver the torque from the motor to the cable storage drum through the Overload Protection Device (OLPD); and

wherein the emergency brake system comprises potential energy devices configured to release potential energy in order energize operation of the brake components.

7 . The hoist system according to claim 6

wherein the emergency brake system is configured and implemented separate from the load control brake assembly;

wherein the brake components comprise one or more brake shoes, brake pads, brake discs, and/or brake calipers; and
