Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Regelvorrichtung der im . Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a control device in. Preamble of the main claim specified Art.

Bei einer bekannten Regelvorrichtung dieser Art, Informationsschrift RgNr. 12 - Bahnführungen der Firma Erhardt & Leimer KG vom 15. Mai 1974, ist der erste Fühler ausschliesslich für den Bahnlauf entlang einer vorgegebenen und durch die Position der Bahnrandkante festgelegten Sollposition verantwortlich. Zu diesem Zweck erzeugt er bei einem seitlichen Verlaufen der von ihm überwachten Bahnrandkante ein Signal, das das Ausmass und die Richtung der Verlaufbewegung repräsentiert und über einen Proportionalverstärker zum Ansteuern des Antriebs der Drehvorrichtung benutzt wird. Die Drehvorrichtung korrigiert dann den Lauf der Bahn durch eine quer zur Bahnlaufrichtung wirksame Kraft, bis die überwachte Bahnrandkante wieder in der Sollposition steht. Der zweite Fühler wird hingegen dazu benutzt, um die Position der beiden Fühler auf die jeweilige Breite der Bahn einzustellen. Die vom zweiten Fühler überwachte Bahnrandkante erzeugt bei einem Verlaufen aus dem Abfühlbereich ebenfalls ein das Ausmass und die Richtung des Verlaufens repräsentierendes Signal, das ebenfalls über einen-Proportionalverstärker zum Ansteuern des Antriebs der Verstelleinrichtung benutzt wird. Die Verstelleinrichtung bewegt dann die beiden Fühler aufeinander zu oder voneinander weg, so dass sie in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Breite der Bahn im Abtastbereich wieder auf die Bahnrandkanten ausgerichtet sind. In der Praxis hat sich bei der bekannten Regelvorrichtung erwiesen, dass sie verhältnismässig träge anspricht, und zudem zu einem andauernden Pendeln beim Regeln neigt. Dies liegt zum Teil darin, dass der erste Fühler auch dann ein Verlaufen der Bahn auf der Sollaufrichtung registriert und durch ein entsprechendes Signal eine Korrektur einsteuert, wenn die Bahn korrekt in der Sollaufrichtung bleibt, sich aber die Bahnbreite verändert hat.In a known control device of this type, information document RgNr. 12 - Web guides from Erhardt & Leimer KG from May 15, 1974, the first sensor is solely responsible for the web run along a predetermined target position determined by the position of the web edge. For this purpose, when the edge of the web edge monitored by it runs laterally, it generates a signal which represents the extent and the direction of the course movement and is used via a proportional amplifier to control the drive of the rotating device. The rotating device then corrects the running of the web by a force acting transversely to the web running direction until the monitored web edge is again in the desired position. The second sensor, on the other hand, is used to adjust the position of the two sensors to the respective width of the web. When the edge of the web monitored by the second sensor runs out of the sensing area, it also generates a signal representing the extent and the direction of the run, which is also used via a proportional amplifier to control the drive of the adjustment device. The adjusting device then moves the two sensors towards or away from each other, so that they are again aligned with the edge of the web in the scanning area depending on the respective width of the web. In practice, it has been found in the known regulating device that it responds relatively sluggishly and also tends to oscillate continuously when regulating. This is partly due to the fact that the first sensor also registers a path of the web on the set up direction and initiates a correction by means of a corresponding signal if the web remains correctly in the set up direction but the web width has changed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Regelvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern, dass sie feinfühliger und weniger träge arbeitet als die bekannte, und dass sie ein ausgeglicheneres Regelverhalten erbringt.The invention has for its object to improve a control device of the type mentioned that it works more sensitively and less sluggishly than the known, and that it provides a more balanced control behavior.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.

Bei dieser Ausbildung der Regelvorrichtung wird dem Antrieb der Drehvorrichtung nur dann ein Korrektursignal zugeführt, wenn die Bahn tatsächlich diese Sollaufrichtung verlassen hat und in diese zurückgebracht werden muss. Durch die Überlagerung der Signale beider Fühler wird der erste Fühler sozusagen in die Lage versetzt, zwischen einem tatsächlichen Verlaufen aus der Sollaufrichtung und nur einer Breitenänderung der laufenden Bahn zu unterscheiden. Es wird auf diese Weise dann kein Korrektursignal erzeugt, wenn sich nur die Breite der Bahn ähndert. Die Verstelleinrichtung kann hingegen sofort auf die Breitenänderung ansprechen und die Fühler auf den jeweils erforderlichen, gegenseitigen Abstand bringen. Auch wenn sich ein Zustand einstellt, bei dem sowohl ein Verlaufen aus der Sollaufrichtung als auch eine Breitenänderung eintritt, arbeiten die Verstelleinrichtung und die Drehvorrichtung zusammen, um so rasch wie möglich und ohne eine Überkorrektur die Bahn wieder in die Sollaufrichtung zurückzubringen und gleichzeitig die Fühler auf den erforderlichen, gegenseitigen Abstand einzustellen. Dadurch, dass die Regelvorrichtung auf diese Weise weniger träge anspricht und im Regelverhalten nicht mehr zum Pendeln neigt, kann die Bahn mit einer wünschenswert hohen Bahnlaufgeschwindigkeit gezogen werden.In this configuration of the control device, a correction signal is only supplied to the drive of the rotating device if the web has actually left this setpoint direction and has to be returned to it. By superimposing the signals of both sensors, the first sensor is, so to speak, in a position to distinguish between an actual course from the target erection and only a change in the width of the running web. In this way, no correction signal is generated if only the width of the web changes. The adjusting device, on the other hand, can respond immediately to the change in width and bring the sensors to the required mutual distance. Even if a state arises in which both a run out of the set up direction and a change in width occur, the adjusting device and the turning device work together in order to return the web to the set up direction as quickly as possible and without overcorrection and at the same time open the sensors set the necessary mutual distance. Because the control device responds less sluggishly in this way and no longer tends to oscillate in the control behavior, the web can be drawn at a desirable high web running speed.

Eine zweckmässige Ausführungsform der Erfindung geht aus Anspruch 2 hervor. Bei dieser Ausbildung wird in besonders einfacher Weise aus den von den beiden Fühlern erzeugten Signalen ein Differenzsignal erzeugt, mit dem es möglich ist, zwischen einem tatsächlichen Verlauf und der Sollaufrichtung und nur einer Breitenänderung zu unterscheiden.An expedient embodiment of the invention can be found in claim 2. In this embodiment, a difference signal is generated from the signals generated by the two sensors in a particularly simple manner, with which it is possible to distinguish between an actual course and the set direction and only a change in width.

Eine weitere, zweckmässige Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstands geht aus Anspruch 3 hervor. Ein Differenzverstärker ist für die hier zu lösende Aufgabe besonders gut geeignet, da er nicht nur eine Differenz aus den beiden ihm zugeleiteten Signalen erzeugt, sondern auch diese Differenz so verstärkt, dass sie für den Antrieb der Drehvorrichtung in ein wirksames Korrektursignal umwandelbar ist.A further, expedient embodiment of the subject matter of the invention can be found in claim 3. A differential amplifier is particularly well suited for the task to be solved here, since it not only generates a difference from the two signals fed to it, but also amplifies this difference in such a way that it can be converted into an effective correction signal for driving the rotary device.

Ein weiterer, wichtiger Gedanke der Erfindung ist in Anspruch 4 enthalten. Wenn das im Differenzverstärker ermittelte Differenzsignal eine vorbestimmte Grösse überschreitet, die unter Umständen zu einer Störung führen könnte, wird die Anzeigeeinrichtung betätigt, die entweder das Bedienungspersonal auf die Störung aufmerksam macht oder sogar für das Abschalten des Antriebs für den Bahnlauf sorgt.Another important idea of the invention is contained in claim 4. If the difference signal determined in the differential amplifier exceeds a predetermined value, which could possibly lead to a malfunction, the display device is actuated, which either draws the operator's attention to the malfunction or even ensures that the drive for the web run is switched off.

Ein weiterer, zweckmässiger Gedanke der Erfindung ist schliesslich in Anspruch 5 enthalten. Die Fühler erzeugen hierbei besonders zuverlässig für die Regelung benutzbare Signale, die nicht nur das Mass der jeweiligen Abweichung von einer Sollposition repräsentieren, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Richtung, in der diese Abweichung aufgetreten ist. Gerade der Differenzverstärker kann solche Signale exakt erfassen und ihre Bedeutung in ein Korrektursignal für die Drehvorrichtung umwandeln. Entsprechend der gewünschten Empfindlichkeit des Regelkreises wird der Toleranzbereich des Fühlers ausgelegt werden. Für eine grosse Regelgenauigkeit wird der Toleranzbereich sehr schmal gehalten.Another useful idea of the invention is finally contained in claim 5. The sensors hereby generate signals which can be used particularly reliably for the control and which not only represent the extent of the respective deviation from a desired position, but also the direction in which this deviation occurred. The differential amplifier in particular can precisely detect such signals and convert their meaning into a correction signal for the rotating device. The tolerance range of the sensor will be designed according to the desired sensitivity of the control loop. The tolerance range is kept very narrow for high control accuracy.

Eine Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstands wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

Aus der Zeichnung ist eine Regelvorrichtung 1 für eine laufende Bahn 2 erkennbar, wobei die Regelvorrichtung 1 für den Lauf der Bahn 2 entlang einer vorbestimmten Linie verantwortlich ist. Die Bahn 2 wird durch eine nicht dargestellte Einrichtung in Richtung eines Pfeils 26 gezogen. Die Bahn 2 hat Randkanten 3, 4. Die Breite der Bahn 2 ist nicht konstant gleichbleibend, sondern sie kann sich unvorhersehbar verändern. Beispielsweise ist in den Bereichen 3a, 4a die Bahn 2 breiter als in dem dahinterliegenden Abschnitt. In strichlierter Linie ist bei 4b angedeutet, wie die Bahn 2 aus der Sollaufrichtung nach links abweichen kann.From the drawing, a control device 1 for a running web 2 can be seen, the control device 1 being responsible for the running of the web 2 along a predetermined line. The web 2 is drawn in the direction of an arrow 26 by a device, not shown. The web 2 has edge edges 3, 4. The width of the web 2 is not constant, but it can change unpredictably. For example, the web 2 is wider in the areas 3a, 4a than in the section behind it. The dashed line at 4b indicates how the web 2 can deviate from the intended erection to the left.

Die Regelvorrichtung weist eine Drehvorrichtung 5 herkömmlicher Bauweise auf, die über Drehantrieb 6 in durch einen Doppelpfeil 7 angedeuteten Richtungen verdrehbar ist und auf die laufende Bahn 2 einwirkt. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass bei einer Verdrehung der Drehvorrichtung 5 aus der in ausgezogenen Linien gezeichneten Stellung auf die Bahn eine nach links oder nach rechts gerichtete Kraft einwirkt, mit der jeweils eine Korrektur des Bahnlaufs vorzunehmen ist.The control device has a rotary device 5 of conventional design, which can be rotated in directions indicated by a double arrow 7 via rotary drive 6 and acts on the running web 2. It is obvious that when the rotating device 5 is rotated from the position drawn in solid lines, a force acting to the left or to the right acts on the web, which force must be used to correct the path of the web.

In Bahnlaufrichtung ist hinter der Drehvorrichtung 5 eine Verstelleinrichtung 8a vorgesehen, die bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus einer quer zur Bahnlaufrichtung 26 angeordneten Gewindespindel 8 mit zwei einander entgegengesetzt gerichteten Gewindeabschnitten besteht. Die Gewindespindel 8 ist an ihrem freien Ende in einer Lagerung 9 abgestützt und ist mittels eines Antriebs 10 in beiden Drehrichtungen zur Drehung antreibbar.In the web running direction, an adjusting device 8a is provided behind the rotating device 5, which in this exemplary embodiment consists of a threaded spindle 8 arranged transversely to the web running direction 26 and having two opposing threaded sections. The threaded spindle 8 is supported at its free end in a bearing 9 and can be driven to rotate in both directions of rotation by means of a drive 10.

Auf der Gewindespindel 8 sind über Muttern 11 ein erster Fühler 13 und ein zweiter Fühler 12 verschraubbar gelagert und auf die Bahnrandkanten 3 und 4 ausgerichtet. Der erste Fühler 13 hat einen in strichlierten Linien angedeuteten Fühlbereich 15, während der zweite Fühler 12 einen ebensolchen Fühlbereich 14 aufweist. Mit 16 und 17 sind Toleranzbereiche der beiden Fühler 12 und 13 angedeutet, innerhalb denen sich die jeweils überwachte Bahnrandkante 3 bzw. 4 zur Seite bewegen kann, ohne dass die beiden Fühler 12, 13 ein Signal erzeugen.A first sensor 13 and a second sensor 12 are screw-mounted on the threaded spindle 8 via nuts 11 and are aligned with the web edge 3 and 4. The first sensor 13 has a sensing area 15 indicated in dashed lines, while the second sensor 12 has a similar sensing area 14. With 16 and 17 tolerance ranges of the two sensors 12 and 13 are indicated, within which the respectively monitored edge 3 or 4 of the web can move to the side without the two sensors 12, 13 generating a signal.

Die beiden Fühler 12, 13 sind jedoch in der Lage, Signale abzugeben, die bei einem Überschreiten des Toleranzbereichs 16 bzw. 17 nicht nur das Ausmass des Überschreitens des Toleranzbereichs, sondern auch die Richtung, in der diese Überschreitung stattfindet, repräsentieren.However, the two sensors 12, 13 are able to emit signals which, when the tolerance range 16 or 17 is exceeded, not only represent the extent to which the tolerance range has been exceeded, but also the direction in which this exceedance takes place.

Die vom ersten Fühler 13 abgegebenen Signale werden über eine Leitung 22 einem Differenzverstärker 21 zugeführt. In gleicher Weise werden die von dem zweiten Fühler 12 abgegebenen Signale über einen Steuerleitungszweig 18b, dem Differenzverstärker 21 zugeführt. Die vom zweiten Fühler 12 abgegebenen Signale werden gleichzeitig über eine Steuerzweigleitung 18a, einem Proportionalverstärker 19 zugeführt, der über eine Steuerleitung 20 den Antrieb 10 der Verstelleinrichtung 8a ansteuert.The signals emitted by the first sensor 13 are fed to a differential amplifier 21 via a line 22. In the same way, the signals emitted by the second sensor 12 are fed to the differential amplifier 21 via a control line branch 18b. The signals emitted by the second sensor 12 are simultaneously fed via a control branch line 18a to a proportional amplifier 19 which controls the drive 10 of the adjusting device 8a via a control line 20.

Im Differenzverstärker 21 werden die aus den Leitungen 18b und 22 zugeführten Signale verglichen und wenn eine Differenz auftritt, wird ein Signal erzeugt, das über eine Leitung 24 dem nicht dargestellten Antrieb der Drehvorrichtung 5 zum Korrigieren des Bandlaufs zugeführt wird. Ausgangsseitig ist der Differenzverstärker 21 ferner über eine Leitung 25 mit einer Anzeigeeinrichtung 23 verbunden, die entweder ein Warnsignal erzeugt oder den Transport der Bahn 2 unterbricht, wenn ein eine Störung anzeigendes Signal vom Differenzverstärker 21 ermittelt wird.In the differential amplifier 21, the signals supplied from the lines 18b and 22 are compared, and if a difference occurs, a signal is generated which is fed via a line 24 to the drive, not shown, of the rotating device 5 for correcting the tape running. On the output side, the differential amplifier 21 is also connected via a line 25 to a display device 23 which either generates a warning signal or interrupts the transport of the web 2 when a signal indicating a fault is determined by the differential amplifier 21.

Die Regelvorrichtung 1 arbeitet wie folgt:

  • Im dargestellten Zustand läuft die Bahn 2 in der Sollaufrichtung, d.h. die beiden Bahnrandkanten 3 und 4 laufen innerhalb der Toleranzbereiche 16, 17 beider Fühler 12, 13. Beide Fühler 12, 13 geben dadurch entweder kein Signal ab oder aber ein Signal, das den korrekten Lauf repräsentiert.
The control device 1 works as follows:
  • In the state shown, the web 2 runs in the desired direction, that is to say the two web edge 3 and 4 run within the tolerance ranges 16, 17 of both sensors 12, 13. Both sensors 12, 13 either emit no signal or a signal which indicates the correct one Run represents.

Wenn nun die Bahn 2 (wie bei4b angedeutet) nach links aus der Sollaufrichtung heraus verläuft, wird bei beiden Fühlern 12, 13 der Toleranzbereich überschritten. Der erste Fühler 13 gibt ein Signal ab, das über die Leitung 22 dem Differenzverstärker 21 zugeführt wird. Gleichzeitig gibt der zweite Fühler 12 ein entsprechendes Signal ab, das über die Leitung 18b sowohl dem Differenzverstärker 21 als auch über die Leitung 18a und dem Proportionalverstärker 19 sowie die Leitung 20 auch dem Antrieb 10 zugeführt wird. Im Differenzverstärker 21 wird aus diesen beiden Signalen aus den Leitungen 18b und 22 ein Differenzwert festgestellt und daraus ein Signal erzeugt, so dass in der Leitung 24 ein der Differenz entsprechendes Korrektursignal an den Antrieb der Drehvorrichtung 5 geführt wird, das zu einem raschen Drehen der Drehvorrichtung 5 führt, so dass die Bahnrandkante 4 aus der Position 4b in die alte Position zurückgeführt wird.If the web 2 (as indicated at 4b) now runs to the left out of the desired elevation, the tolerance range is exceeded for both sensors 12, 13. The first sensor 13 emits a signal which is fed to the differential amplifier 21 via the line 22. At the same time, the second sensor 12 emits a corresponding signal, which is fed via line 18b both to differential amplifier 21 and via line 18a and proportional amplifier 19, and line 20 also to drive 10. In the differential amplifier 21, a difference value is determined from these two signals from the lines 18b and 22 and a signal is generated therefrom, so that a correction signal corresponding to the difference is fed to the drive of the rotating device 5, which causes the rotating device to rotate rapidly 5 leads, so that the web edge 4 is returned from the position 4b to the old position.

Gleichzeitig hat der Antrieb 10 aufgrund des Signals des zweiten Fühlers 12 die Gewindespindel 8 so gedreht, dass der Abstand zwischen den beiden Fühlern 13 vergrössert wird, wodurch die zurücklaufenden Bahnrandkanten 3 und 4 früher in den Toleranzbereich der beiden Fühler 12, 13 zurückgelangen und das Korrektursignal für die Drehvorrichtung abgebaut wird. Wenn infolge der Rückführung der Bahn 2 in die Vollaufstellung dann beide Fühler 12 und 13 erneut Signale abgeben, die aber dann einander entgegengesetzt sind, erzeugt der Differenzverstärker 21 kein Korrektursignal, denn die beiden Signale heben sich gegenseitig auf. In dem Fall wird nur der Antrieb 10 durch das Signal über Leitung 20 veranlasst, die beiden Fühler 12 und 13 einander wieder auszurichten.At the same time, the drive 10 has rotated the threaded spindle 8 on the basis of the signal from the second sensor 12 in such a way that the distance between the two sensors 13 is increased, as a result of which the trailing edge 3 and 4 of the web returns earlier to the tolerance range of the two sensors 12, 13 and the correction signal is dismantled for the rotating device. If, as a result of the return of the web 2 to the full set-up, then both sensors 12 and 13 emit signals again, but which are then opposite to one another, the differential amplifier 21 does not generate a correction signal, since the two signals cancel each other out. In this case, only the drive 10 is prompted by the signal via line 20 to align the two sensors 12 and 13 again.

Wenn sich die Breite der Bahn 2 in dem Bereich, der zu den Fühlern 12 und 13 kommt, verändert (z.B. wie bei 3a und 4a), dann erzeugen die beiden Fühler, vorausgesetzt die Bahn läuft in der Sollrichtung, wiederum einander entgegengesetzte Signale, aus denen der Differenzverstärker 21 kein Differenzsignal erzeugt. Weil die Differenz Null ist, wird die Drehvorrichtung 5 nicht betätigt. Hingegen sorgt der Antrieb 10 infolge des von ihm vom zweiten Fühler 12 zugeleiteten Signals dafür, dass Abstand zwischen den beiden Fühlern 12 und 13 auf die tatsächliche Breite der Bahn vergrössert wird. Sofern die Breitenänderung symmetrisch erfolgt, sorgt der Differenzverstärker 21 dafür, dass die Drehvorrichtung 5 nicht unnötig in Gang gesetzt wird.If the width of the web 2 changes in the area that comes to the sensors 12 and 13 (for example as in FIGS. 3a and 4a), then the two sensors produce signals, provided the web runs in the desired direction, again opposite signals which the differential amplifier 21 does not generate a differential signal. Because the difference is zero, the rotating device 5 is not operated. In contrast, the drive 10, as a result of the signal supplied by it from the second sensor 12, ensures that the distance between the two sensors 12 and 13 is increased to the actual width of the web. If the width change occurs symmetrically, the differential amplifier 21 ensures that the rotating device 5 is not started unnecessarily.

Tritt hingegen ein Zustand auf, bei welchem die Bahn 2 sowohl seitlich verläuft als auch eine Breitenänderung eintritt, so ergibt sich zwischen der Drehvorrichtung 5 und der Verstellvorrichtung 8a ein Zusammenspiel, das zu einem raschen Rückkführen der Bahn 2 in die Sollaufposition und gleichzeitig zu einer Anpassung der Fühler 12 und 13 auf die weiter voneinander entfernt liegenden Bahnrandkanten 3, 4 führt.If, on the other hand, a condition occurs in which the web 2 both runs laterally and a change in width occurs, there is an interaction between the rotating device 5 and the adjusting device 8a, which leads to a rapid return of the web 2 to the desired position and at the same time to an adjustment the sensor 12 and 13 leads to the web edges 3, 4 which are further apart.

Der besondere Vorteil dieser Regelvorrichtung liegt darin, dass über den Differenzverstärker, der die Signale aus beiden Fühlern auswertet, eine Unterscheidung getroffen werden kann, ob die Bahn seitlich verlaufen ist, oder ob nur eine Breitenänderung eingetreten ist, die eine Veränderung des Abstands zwischen den Fühlern erfordert, oder ob diese beiden Einflüsse kombiniert auftreten. In jedem Fall ist die Regelvorrichtung den Regelvorrichtungen überlegen, bei denen die beiden Fühler voneinander getrennt entweder die Verstelleinrichtung oder die Drehvorrichtung ansteuerten.The particular advantage of this control device is that a difference can be made via the differential amplifier, which evaluates the signals from both sensors, whether the web has run to the side or whether only a change in width has occurred, which is a change in the distance between the sensors required, or whether these two influences occur in combination. In any case, the control device is superior to the control devices in which the two sensors separately control either the adjusting device or the rotating device.

Claims (5)

1. A device (1 )for controlling the run-off of a continuously drawn web (2), in particular a web of sheeting, textile fabric or knitted fabric with a fluctuating web width, with a turning mechanism (5) which may be driven with a movement correcting the run-off and with a signal emitting sensor (12, 13) at each lateral web edge (3, 4) as well as with an adjusting mechanism (8a) arranged transversely to the direction of the web run-off (26) whereon the sensors (12, 13) are mounted at their respective interspacing for synchronous adjustment transversely to the direction of the web run-off (26), the drive of the turning mechanism (5) being capable of actuating by means of the first sensor (13) in case of deviation of the lateral web edge (3) monitored by it from a desired run-off position, for the purpose of correcting the web run-off, whilst drive (10) of adjustment mechanism (8a) can be actuated by means of the second sensor (12) in case of deviation of the lateral web edge (4) monitored by it from a desired run-off position, for the purpose of altering the distance between sensors (12, 13), characterised in that the signals emanating from the second sensor (12) for the drive (10) of the adjustment mechanism (8a) can be additionally superimposed on the signals emanating from the first sensor (13) and that the correction signals for the drive of the turning mechanism (5) can be generated from the respectively superimposed signals.
2. A control device according to Claim 1, characterised in that both sensors (12, 13) are connected on the output side to a device establishing the difference between the signals which actuates on its output side the drive of the turning mechanism (5).
