DEVICE FOR WINDING-UP SEISMIC CABLES Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: geophysical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device for winding-up the seismic cables has transport facility with body where cable-receiving reservoir is mounted, winding-up mechanism and seismic cable layer. Cable-receiving reservoir is made for rotation about vertical axis. Its shaft is connected via friction clutch and reduction gear with engine of transport facility and with displacement-type hydraulic motor whose pump is connected with engine of transport facility, as well as with seismic cable layer which consists of differential reduction gear and screw-nut drive; mounted on the nut is winding-up mechanism which consists of friction pulleys connected kinematically. Drive pulley of winding-up mechanism is kinematically kinked with engine of transport facility; cable-receiving reservoir is provided with band brake. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 dwg
