Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the winding of large diameter cables on spools.
  • large diameter cable is meant insulated electrical cables with an outside diameter greater than 10 mm.
  • the diameter of the cables does not exceed 60 mm.
  • these cables are produced in segments as long as possible and they are wound on spools whose dimensions often reach several meters in diameter.
  • the winders supporting these coils and driving them in rotation are large mass devices requiring for their drive powerful and bulky motors.
  • Patent CH 576,392 describes a winder of this kind in which the cutting trolley is supported by a rail parallel to the axis of the spool holder and the spool holder itself has two independent uprights, one of the 'other and likely to move on rails also parallel to the same axis. 0n can thus carry out either cutting operations in which the cutting carriage and consequently the cable guide move parallel to the axis of the spool over the entire length of the latter, or so-called self-cutting operations in which the cutting trolley remains fixed and it is the whole of the reel support which moves in translation in front of the cutting trolley.
  • fig. 1 schematically shows a coil 1 on which a cable 2 is being deposited turn by turn.
  • the coil 1 comprises a cylindrical barrel 3 and two end flanges 4 and 5 also called cheeks having the form of discs.
  • the cable 2 is hooked by its end into a hole 6 formed in the barrel 3 of the coil 1.
  • the winding of the cable on the drum of the coil does not consist of successive parallel helices but forms a series of irregular curves.
  • the cable arrival strand designated by 7
  • the delay angle is maintained at a suitable angle called the delay angle and designated in FIG. 1 by r.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a device for automatically controlling a cutting operation capable of equipping large winders capable of supporting and driving reels intended to receive long lengths of cables of a diameter greater than 10 mm.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 We will begin by briefly describing the winding installation shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the barrel 3 and the left flange 5 of the coil 1 are visible in section through a plane perpendicular to the axis of the coil in FIG. 2.
  • the flange 5 is supported by a pinole 8 (fig. 3) carried itself by a bearing 9 integral with the left upright 10 of the winder.
  • the crossing upper 11 of the winder (fig. 2) extends parallel to the axis of the reel 1 and guides the upper end of the upright 12 which has a bearing 13 itself guiding a pinole 14 supporting the right flange 4 of the reel 1.
  • the two uprights 10 and 12 of the winder rest on bases 15 and 16, provided with rollers 17 which roll on two parallel rails 18.
  • the rollers 17 are linked to drive means making it possible to move the whole of the winder goes back and forth on the rails 18, while means for driving the coil 1 (not shown) rotate one of the pinoles 8 or 14 provided with coupling elements to the corresponding flange of the coil.
  • the drive means of the coil are capable of rotating the latter around its axis at a constant or variable speed depending on conditions which can be predetermined. Thus, for example, the drive of the coil can take place at constant resistance torque.
  • a cutting support which comprises a rigid vertical upright 19 provided with guide means shown in the drawing by a dovetail groove 20 extending vertically and capable of guiding a horizontal arm 21 which can thus be moved vertically from top to bottom and bottom to top on the upright 19.
  • This support arm 21 itself has in its upper face a guide groove 22 in which slides a cutting carriage 23.
  • the latter carries two rollers cylindrical with vertical axes 24 arranged parallel to one another at such a distance from each other that the strand 7 of the cable 2 is guided closely between these two rollers.
  • Driving means not shown make it possible to move the carriage 23 from left to right and from right to left parallel to the axis of the coil 1 in front of the latter, the strand 7 of the cable being further guided in the direction of height between two horizontal rollers 25 also distant from each other by a distance equal to the diameter of the cable.
  • the rollers 25 are supported at their ends by uprights 26 which rest on the support arm 21.
  • Another support arm 27 secured to the horizontal base 21 makes it possible to fix above this base a camera 28, the principle of the optical system is shown schematically in FIG. 4.
  • This camera 28 has a lens 29 whose axis of the optical system is oriented horizontally and perpendicular to the axis of the coil 1.
  • the height of the axis of the objective 29 can be chosen at will and as will be seen later, it is controlled so that this axis is tangent to the last complete layer of the winding formed on the coil 1.
  • the axis of the objective 29 it is also possible to choose for the axis of the objective 29 a direction different from that which has just been defined, in particular a slightly inclined direction, the rule of tangency to the last complete layer of winding being however a general rule.
  • the described winding installation comprises a light ramp 30 arranged vertically opposite the camera 28 but on the other side of the coil.
  • this light ramp has the effect of projecting in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the coil the image of the silhouette of the winding, i.e. the image that is obtained if the winding being cut is cut by a vertical plane passing through the axis of the coil.
  • This camera 28 is an optical device of a type known per se, in particular a device of the brand Reticon sold by the company EG. & G. Inc. in Wellesley (Mass. USA).
  • This camera called “image detection system” 29 includes a zoom type lens for varying the focal length and the magnification of the camera.
  • the image formed by the objective is reflected by a 45 ° mirror 31 and projected as a real image onto a reception surface 33.
  • This reception surface 33 is materialized by a grid 34 which, in the embodiment described, is square and made up of a series of photodetector cells. These cells, for example photosensitive diodes are connected in a circuit materialized by a microprocessor MP.
  • a grid 34 formed of 1024 cells distributed over a square of 32 cells on the side allows detection sufficiently fine to meet the operating conditions.
  • the ramp 30 projects onto the objective 29 the shadow of the winding silhouette.
  • the objective 29 itself makes it possible to choose the size of the area of the winding which will be projected onto the grid 34 and it has been observed in particular that a magnification such as the area of the winding which is projected onto the grid 34 at the pace shown in fig.5, was a suitable magnification.
  • a magnification such as the area of the winding which is projected onto the grid 34 at the pace shown in fig.5
  • the cells are adjusted so that their state (conductive or non-conductive) changes depending on whether they are exposed to the radiation from the ramp 30, where, . for them, the ramp 30 is masked by the winding.
  • the 1024 cells will be divided into series each corresponding to a column so that by suitable switching of the electronic circuit MP, it will be possible, at any time, to perform a scanning operation during which all of the detector elements of the grid 34 will be explored successively, for example by successive columns.
  • This exploration will give rise to an electrical signal composed of a series of pulses in binary code giving for each element of the grid 34 its lit or hidden state.
  • the photo-diodes of the grid 34 will be explored in successive series, each series being composed of the elements of the same column.
  • Fig. 5 gives by way of example the result of such an exploration.
  • the 1024 photo-detector elements of the grid 34 are represented in the form of a square matrix numbered by lines and by columns. Each of these elements is designated by the number 35.
  • the image of the silhouette of a predetermined area of the winding as it appears on this grid is clearly represented in this fig. 5.
  • the silhouette of two turns A and B of the last complete layer deposited on the winding is clearly visible in the left part of the image as well as part of the silhouette of a turn C belonging to the same layer.
  • a fourth turn D of the last complete layer is completely embedded in the part of the image for which the elements are in the masked state. Above this complete layer, two turns E and F of the layer being formed appear. As visible in the drawing, this layer in formation is formed by successive turns going from right to left, although this may actually correspond to a layer forming from left to right as a result of the reversal of the image.
