The invention relates to a device for peeling off, storing and laying down of endless filament, strand or cable material, e.g. filament yarn, chemical fiber cables, wire, wire cables, ribbons etc. with a revolving thread guide device and a v.'ickeltronirael arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the same with a substantially polygonal cross-section and a number of forcor movement in the area of the wrap-around trim at least rr.it a 1-barrel parallel to the axis of the kick directed speed elements executing funds.

After the technological development led to ever higher production speeds, for example to ever higher spinning speeds when spinning continuous filaments from fiber-forming synthetic thermoplastic polymer melts - be it in the form of thin filament yarns, thick cables, wide ribbons or the like. -, it became more and more difficult to wind the endless material emerging at high speed, for example from the molding tool, onto bobbins or in loop form in or on appropriately suitable

to discard directions. Especially with those for filing, for example of the usual facilities of roving cables, the so-called can shelves, best-ir.d, among other things, a try: in, dc3 the braking the cables in the chambers at high speeds to a puffing up of the cables and a spreading apart of the single filaments of the cables in the cans and as a result this led to cable loops that were laid down irregularly. A Trouble-free removal of the cables stored in this form from the cans was then not very possible.

It has therefore already been proposed for undisturbed destruction the Eewagungsenergie of the arriving cables at high speed, this already abzcbrcnεεη before being deposited. to For this purpose, the cables were first wound onto a rocking drum, on which the wound turns, were first laid before being laid down then step by step in the axial direction of the Uick "! itro: .-; '. cl were funded in order to then be stored in loops v; errJ :: n.

For example, the device described in DT-AS 2 4 40 93 9 was proposed, which consists of a Wicke.LtrciT.rr.el and several arranged side by side on the winding drum axis, disc-shaped eccentrically mounted tumbling organs with teeth arranged on the circumference of the same. The thread is placed there by means of a circumferential thread guide tube initially to a single-layer wrap on the wrapping tube filed. The subsequent movement of the thread windings along the winding drum surface in axial lease is through causes the teeth of the tumbling organs, which due to the eccentric tumbling motion of the tumbling organs alternately through corresponding openings in the rocking drum emerge and while the thread turns - at this point from the rocking drum take off and are then sunk back into these openings,

909838/0050

A3GW3182O EN

thereby making the thread coils after they are also one at the same time Pieces were moved in the axial direction / placed back on the winding drum.

In the device described there, a point of contact of a thread winding on such a tooth moves on an elliptical path which lies in a plane which runs parallel to and through the longitudinal axis of the device. In this way, the individual turns are not moved evenly _r but in small steps in the axial direction. Another disadvantage of this known device is that the thread windings are moved in the radial direction of the winding drum by the elliptical path of movement of the teeth of the tumbling elements which cause the windings to be transported, whereby tensile forces are periodically exerted on the thread windings, which elongate the same cause.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of a To create a device of the type described above, in which the transport of the turns of a thread, cable or tape winding on the Wicke! drum evenly and at a constant speed takes place and where that on the rocking drum wound up endless material on request according to his Shrinkage or other properties during its transport on the rocking drum also continuously to a desired one May shrink or stretch to measure.

This object is achieved by a device with the features described in the preamble of the main claim, which thereby is characterized in that the winding drum surface only from the funds executing the conveying movement is formed.

The Wi eke! Drum can make one in its size along its length constant or constantly changing in its size cross-section, this also alternating in the conveying direction can get bigger or smaller. Such embodiments allow the endless material to be treated to let it shrink or to stretch or stretch it before it is deposited. Thereby, the enlargement resp. Reduction of the cross section of the rocking drum per unit length the winding drum has a range of up to 3% and for the total measured over the entire length of the rocking drum Cross-sectional change, based on the initial cross-section, such a change of up to 30% has proven to be advantageous.

For quick and easy adaptation of the device to the For operational requirements, a form of management has proven itself, in which the size hzw. The size of the cross-section of the winding drum can also be changed during operation and is adjustable.

Endless rotating ones have proven to be particularly suitable for conveying the turns of the endless material on the winding drum Conveyor belts or belts are found to be placed around deflection pulleys, at least one of which is driven, and are tense between these. However, it is also possible to have only one endless belt instead of several endless conveyor belts For example, to provide a round cross-section, which is then guided over appropriately arranged pulleys in such a way that that the conveyance of the material takes place through a number of sections running in the same direction of this one belt. The conveyor belts or belts can also be arranged so that they and thus also the turns of the endless material on the Winding drum not only have one speed component,

which is directed parallel to the axis of the rocking drum, but in addition, one that runs in the original direction of the Winding drum is directed. In this way, for example the relative speed between the rotating thread guide device and the funding, in the original direction looking at the tiickel drum, enlarged accordingly or be reduced.

Well proven for conveying the lap on the winding drum have in the device according to the invention in addition to conventional belts and bands with rectangular, round ccer differently shaped cross-section, in particular toothed belts, wherein in In any case, care should be taken that the straps or straps must be secured against slipping sideways. This can be done through the usual cash register such as limiting roles or appropriately shaped guide or steering and drive rollers, for example, by means of lateral limiting discs arranged on the rollers, wherever the lateral limiting disks on the rollers, which are usually used for this purpose, are undesirable, have belt drives Proven, with multiple marriages, the straps or ribbons on their The side facing the rollers has at least one endless guide rail or guide bar running in the direction of travel and the rollers at least one cooperating with this groove or guide bar have arranged on the outer circumference of the rollers endless guide ring or a similar groove. Using of toothed belts, it is particularly advantageous to use the toothed belt with a groove and the gears with a guide ring to be provided, since this embodiment is particularly simple Way allows toothed belts in a conventional design to be changed subsequently in a simple manner. The ones with the Toothed belt cooperating gears are then with a

corresponding, interacting with the groove in the toothed belt To provide guide ring. This can be done, for example, by dividing the ten gears into two parts perpendicular to their axis of rotation and can be achieved by arranging an appropriately sized ring or disk between the two halves of the teeth. It but it is also possible to initially provide an annular groove on the circumference of the gearwheels and then one in each of these to arrange split ring, the subsequent examplev / e.tse through Welding, soldering, gluing or the like. is firmly connected to the gear. In most cases it is sufficient to determine the amount of Groove in the toothed belt according to the tooth height.

Since the arrangement of a guide groove in the belt can often lead to a weakening of the belt, it can in such cases it would be more advantageous to use the belt with a guide bar Mistake. This can then either already be provided during the production of the belt or can also be provided at a later date by vulcanization, gluing or, in the case of Kunststoffcder metal strips, by welding or the like. one accordingly molded bar to be attached to the belt. The associated roles are then only with one of the guide rails appropriately sized groove to be provided.

In the case of very wide belts and correspondingly wide rollers, it can be advantageous to have several grooves or guide strips to be arranged on the drive belt and several grooves or guide rings on the rollers. It is also possible to use the drive belt and to provide mutually interacting grooves and guide strips or guide rings on the rollers.

To avoid the deflection or constriction of each parts of the conveyor belt that cause the rocking conveyance or -belts in the radial direction by high winding tensions, it is useful to these parts of the conveyor belt for example dutch to support correspondingly arranged support plates and / or rollers on the back.

To secure the rocking drum against rotation, in known orphan on this and on the stationary frame of the device magnets are provided. Here has a Arrangement has proven particularly well in which the magnets are arranged at the level of or between the conveyor belts. There in this area the coil is generally always under a certain, even if possibly only low, tension, and thus always an even, predictable lake occupies, the distance between the vickeltrorrur.olseite and the magnets arranged on the machine frame side accordingly can be adjusted closely. On the other hand, if the magnets are in a known manner in the area of the free fall of the roll, that is, underneath The winding drum arranged, the gap between the same must generally be further adjusted to the trouble-free To ensure that the individual turns of the roll are deposited, for example, in a storage container. But this requires stronger or larger magnets or a larger number of such.

The thread guide grooves can also be designed as multiple helical lines. In this embodiment takes place between a relative movement takes place between the continuous material deposited on the winding drum and the rotating rollers, i.e. the Endless material slides in the guide grooves of the rollers and is in this way following the course of the guide grooves in moved further in the axial direction. The slope of the helical Guide grooves correspond to the pitch of the individual turns of the winding on the winding tr om-iel.

In order to avoid damage to the continuous material through sliding, it must be ensured that the guide grooves are smooth and are designed to be abrasion-resistant and have the lowest possible coefficient of friction. Taking this into account Most metallic and non-metallic materials are suitable for the requirements, but especially those that are when processing continuous material, for example, as thread guide or deflection devices or the like. already have proven themselves.
