A diary - building a new handling aid for heavy dolls
The definition of the project was:
- Accumulator supply with a nominal voltage of 12 or 24 volts
- The speed of lifting and sinking should be 0,1 meters per second
- The base model of the handling aid doesn't necessarily need to correspond to the previous model In the run of the time the required parts (wood-parts, winch, control unit, brackets and standard parts) were obtained and preprocessed. Today the rack of the handling aid was built. The next step: Rebuilding the winch for rolling a rope instead of a tape.

Re: A diary - building a new handling aid for heavy dolls
this thing is a lot easier. Heavy dolls have usually a neck bolt (precisely: an eye bolt). This bolt will be furthermore used. Creating a documentation about this handling aid checked all available files, changed some of them etc. According to the technical data of the winch (Lifting speed 3,2 meters per minute) - this system will realize the requested lifting speed of 0,1 meters per second. During the next days I'll install this rope system.

A part of the repair time I was looking for How-to for repairs of a Dremel 3000 and found a lot of articles with the theme "just stopped", "most repairs" etc. It seems there are massive quality problems . . .

Yours look a lot more professional than mine doh.
I used a rope pulley, which are really cheap to buy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

Re: A diary - building a new handling aid for heavy dolls
At first there is a conversion the winch for winding ropes instead of tapes. Then the winch is fixed with three hexagon head screws (Dimension M8×90). During the first running tests I connected the motor directly with the battery. The winch is well running. With the mounted rope the winch catches a lifting range of nearly 2 meters (nearly 6½ ft) instead of 0,75 meters (nearly 2½ ft) with the delivered tape.
But the winch is not a pussyfoot, she isn't quiet . . .

The next were the plastic shields (PA 6 material) to process in according with a drawing. While the epoxy adhesive was hardening the was the occasion to build in some greater parts of the electric system. The accumulator and the power relays are now built in. I hope the PCB for the electronics will arrive tomorrow . . .

Re: A diary - building a new handling aid for heavy dolls
your patient lift is really well priced. The prices of new patient lifts I found during a short investigation began at 500 € and above. New electric patient lifts are more expensive. And I believe you're using the delivered seats or you have to rebuild the lift for using the neck bolts of the dolls.
The main components are:
- the winch: approximately 130 €
- the accumulator (a LiFePO4 type): approximately 130 €
- the case for the supply and control unit: nearly 60 €
- all the wooden parts, screws, electronic components etc.: nearly 180 €
Altogether there are material costs of approximately 500 €.
Now the power circuitry of the handling aid is finished . . .

Re: A diary - building a new handling aid for heavy dolls
A last check is moving the doll (Weight: 53 kg or 117 lb) into the living room and setting on a stool.
I'll publish some pictures and a web documentation soon.
