Holding system for piece goods

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods in the context of a

Holding system for piece goods.

The assembly of piece goods cut to length, such as cables, wires, tapes, hoses or ropes, can be automated to a high degree, with assembly systems unwinding the piece goods required for a piece goods set from magazine reels and cutting them to the correct length. If necessary, the assembly systems can automatically process the ends of the cut piece goods, for example

Strip the insulation and / or provide a plug connection or the like.

Such systems are used, for example, in production plants where numerous different cables, wires, bands, hoses and / or ropes have to be provided for a specific plant, such as a land vehicle, watercraft or aircraft or an electrical product. Usually, the pre-assembled piece goods that are required for a specific plant are combined in a piece goods set and packaged together. For example, the piece goods of a piece goods set from the assembly plant can fall essentially randomly into a box, or they can, likewise essentially randomly, tied together to form a thick strand

will.

If the general cargo set includes a large number of different general cargo, further use can lead to problems and loss of time because the fitters of the

downstream production must first look for and find the right piece goods.

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods with which the

Handling of pre-assembled piece goods is improved.

In a first aspect, the present disclosure relates to a holding system for piece goods which has a tape and a spool core, the tape being able to be wound around the spool core in a spiral shape to form a holding roller and the piece goods being able to be clamped between the individual layers of the holding roll. This holding system allows, in a very space-saving and effective way, to store and transport individual piece goods sets with several piece goods in a sorted manner. The piece goods clamped together on the holding system in the holding roller are released when the tape is unrolled in the reverse order in which they were clamped. This makes it possible to sort the piece goods in the order they are being packaged,

as they are required for the following processing steps.

In an advantageous manner, the band can be at least partially elastic, wherein the band can in particular have at least one rubber layer. In connection with the present invention, the term “at least partially elastic band” denotes a band which, when it is rolled up to form a holding roller, is reversibly deformed in the areas where a piece goods are held. However, this is not a mandatory requirement, since the band can also be designed to be irreversibly deformable, for example. On the other hand, the belt could also be constructed in the manner of a toothed belt, the piece goods being held between the individual teeth of the rolled-up toothed belt. The band can have a rubber layer, for example, on one surface or on both surfaces 10, the rubber layer (s) being combined with a stronger band material, for example a belt or plastic band. This achieves a good clamping effect, the rubber layer being elastically deformed to accommodate the clamped piece goods. Nevertheless, the tape shows only a small amount in the longitudinal direction

Extensibility, which improves the behavior of the holding system.

In an advantageous embodiment, the band can have a width between approximately 1 cm and approximately 15 cm. On the one hand, the width is matched to the required clamping effect, on the other hand, the required stability of the holding roller formed with the tape must be taken into account. The width of the tape is matched to the respective application, with the specified width range being a multitude of different ones

20 applications for a wide variety of piece goods allowed. However, it should be noted that for specific applications, tapes may also be advantageous whose width is greater than

or below the specified width range.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the tape can have a thickness between approximately 1 mm and approximately 10 mm. The thickness influences, among other things, the number of piece goods that can be clamped in the holding roller. The thickness is selected to match the thickness of the clamped areas of the piece goods. The thickness of the tape is matched to the respective application, with the specified thickness range allowing a multitude of different applications for a wide variety of piece goods. However, it should be noted that tapes can also be beneficial for specific applications

30 can, the thickness of which is above or below the specified thickness range.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the tape can have a length between approximately 1 m and approximately 15 m. Longer belts allow larger holding rolls and the integration of a larger number of piece goods. The length of the tape is tailored to the respective application, with the specified length range being numerous

35 different applications for a wide variety of piece goods allowed. However, it should be noted that tapes can also be beneficial for specific applications

whose length is above or below the specified length range.

Advantageously, the tape can be a disposable item. This is particularly advantageous when the assembled piece goods, which are held by a holding roller, are packaged and transported to another production location. In such cases, reusing the tape can be unprofitable, so that a

Disposable is beneficial.

On the other hand, the tape can advantageously be rewound onto a magazine roll as a reusable article. This can be useful in closed production cycles, for example. The holding roller provided with the packaged piece goods can simultaneously be rewound onto a magazine roll when the piece goods are removed, which is then brought back to the packaging system and there to hold a new one

General cargo rate is used.

The holding system can advantageously have a safety device which secures the holding roller against unwinding. The securing device can be, for example, a tensioning band that is wound around the holding roller, or it can comprise a clamp or the like placed on the holding roller. If necessary, the fuse can also be used as an adhesive or as a

Sealed seam that fixes the outer end of the tape to the holding roller.

In an advantageous embodiment, one end of the belt can be designed as a coil core. This allows free individual parts to be minimized. The end of the tape can for example be fixedly mounted on a corresponding coil core, or this coil core can be formed by a molding. If necessary, the end of the tape itself can be used as the spool core by removing the tape from the end without any further aids

is wound forth into a holding roll.

In a further aspect, the present disclosure relates to a reeling unit for piece goods which has a rotatably drivable spool core on which a tape can be wound to form a holding roller, the piece goods being able to be clamped between the individual layers of the holding roller during winding. The roll-up unit is used for the advantageous production of the holding systems disclosed herein. The roll-up unit can be automated to almost any extent, but it can also be used for an at least partially manual one

Actuation be formed.

The reeling unit can advantageously have a device for the automated insertion of the piece goods. In combination with an automatic assembly system, the production of the holding systems disclosed herein can optionally be complete

perform automatically.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, the reeling unit can have a device for the automated assembly of a new bobbin core on a winding device

In an advantageous embodiment, the piece goods can be made-up cables, wires, tapes, hoses and / or ropes. In general, the piece goods can be essentially any solid or flexible objects that have a distinctly elongated shape. The elongated piece goods have an end that can be clamped in a holding roller, the

remaining length of the piece goods protrudes loosely from the holding roller.

In a further aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for the sorted holding of piece goods, the piece goods being clamped one after the other between the individual layers of a tape, while the tape is on one

Coil core is wound spirally to form a holding roller.

The present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, which are advantageous by way of example, schematically and not by way of limitation

Show embodiments of the invention. 1 shows a holding system wound into a holding roller,

2 shows a packaging system with a roll-up unit for piece goods in one

Side view and FIG. 3 the assembly system with the reeling unit according to FIG. 2 in a plan view.

The holding system 1 shown in Fig. 1 can be stowed in the form shown, for example in a packing box, with the long ends of the cables loosely in the box

be placed.

For use, the securing device 9 of the holding system 1 is released and the tape 3 is unrolled from the holding roller 5, the piece goods 2 being released one after the other in a defined sequence. The unwinding can optionally take place in an unwinding device, the tape 3 remaining taut during the unwinding in order to ensure the integrity of the holding roller 5 during unwinding and to release only one piece goods 2 at a time, while the remaining piece goods 2 are in the holding roller 5

stay trapped.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a system for producing the holding system 1 shown in FIG. 1. The system shown in a side view in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 3 in a top view

shown.

The system shown in a schematic representation in FIGS. 2 and 3 comprises a reel-up unit 7 and an assembly system 8. The assembly system 8 can be a fully or partially automatic system for assembling cables. The cables are unwound from one or more cable drums 11 and cut to a defined length into piece goods 2. If necessary, the ends of the piece goods 2 can be processed by the assembly system 8. For example, cable ends can be stripped and / or provided with plug contacts, crimp sleeves or the like, or the ends of the piece goods 2 can be secured in a known manner against being fanned out

will.

A magazine roll 6, which has a rolled-up tape 3, is provided above the assembly system 8. The magazine reel 6 is mounted on an unwinding bearing 12, with the tape

3 can be unwound laterally to a reeling unit 7.

The winding unit 7 has a drive 13 on which a spool core 4 is rotatably arranged. To produce a holding system 1, a free end of the tape 3 unwound from the magazine reel 6 is arranged on the spool core 4 and fixed on the spool core 4, for example, by a clamping device or by rolling it up. The ends of the piece goods 2 can now be clamped between the individual layers of the tape 3 in the holding roller 5 thus formed around the spool core 4, while the drive 13 rolls the tape 3 onto the holding roller 5. In this case, the tape 3 is subjected to sufficient tensile stress, for example via the unwinding bearing 12 or an additional roller arrangement,

so that the holding roller 5 is wound sufficiently tight for a good clamping effect.

To clamp a piece of goods 2, the end of which is in the wedge-shaped area between

the holding roller 5 and the supplied tape 3 are inserted. Then the tape 3 is over the

Drive 13 wound up a little further, the end of the piece goods 2 being clamped between the newly wound part of the belt 3 and the layer of the belt 3 lying thereunder on the holding roller 5. Before, during or after clamping, the assembly system can cut off the other end and release it. The free end of the piece goods 2 can hang down freely, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, or, if the length is greater, it can be inserted into a container such as a transport box. After the holding system 1 has been produced with a complete set of piece goods 2, the tape 3 can be cut off and the end can be fixed to the outer circumference of the holding roller 5, for example by gluing or a clamping or tensioning device or in a similar manner. The finished holding system 1 can then be removed from the roll-up unit 7. For example, the holding system 1 in a transport box in which the

hanging ends are inserted.

If necessary, the magazine roll 6 can already provide the tape 3 in a suitable length so that it does not have to be cut off. This allows the tape

3 reuse in the sense of a reusable item.

To separate the piece goods held together with the holding system 1 disclosed herein, a roll-off device can be used, which can be constructed similarly to the roll-up unit 7 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the tape 3 being unwound from the holding roll 5 and wound onto the magazine roll 6. The

Piece goods 2, one after the other, released again.

It should be pointed out that the orientation shown in the figures is selected purely by way of example. The present disclosure is not limited to the orientation shown. In particular, instead of the illustrated vertical axes of the holding roller 5 and the magazine roller 6, arrangements with horizontal or inclined axes can also be provided. The constructive implementation of such embodiments lies

with knowledge of the teachings disclosed herein within the skill of one of ordinary skill in the art.
