Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for producing a wire link belt from alternately right-handed or left-handed coils made of metal wire or plastic wire.
  • the method according to the invention is based on process steps, according to which the coils are fed to a constriction in such a way that the coils forming the coils open in the region of the constriction and the coils located next to one another are partially pushed into one another in such a way that one of the coils of the one is in each case Coil is located between adjacent turns of the adjacent coil, and wherein the coils thus inserted into one another are connected to one another by inserting a coupling wire into the space formed by the overlapping turns.
  • the constriction is designed there in the manner of a zipper slide and at least three of the coils are each fed to the constriction with a tension-like preload.
  • a driven pair of rollers At a certain distance behind the constriction is a driven pair of rollers, which rests on the top and bottom of the wire link belt formed in this way and thereby causes the transport of the coils and the subsequently formed wire link belt through the constriction. It is already mentioned there that the central helix of the constriction can also be fed from above.
  • the known method has several disadvantages afflicted. Because three of the alternately right-handed or left-handed coils are fed to the narrow point, one of these coils is necessarily guided loosely, ie it has no counterpart. According to this process, wide wire link belts can only be produced with difficulty, at least not with a reasonably high production speed and without significant defects. Due to the fact that a pull is exerted on the already formed wire link belt in the transport direction behind the constriction, the turns of the coils which are in contact with one another with the tension spring pretensioning may open differently in the region of the constriction, this in particular when comparing the middle coils in each case the two adjacent coils is the case.
  • the narrow helix opens the side coils a little more precisely than the central one, which does not leave its straight alignment. All in all, it can be said that the coils that are fed freely to the narrow point do not open their coils there so precisely that even at higher production speeds, exactly one coil of the coil is certainly placed between two adjacent coils of the adjacent coil. Rather, it can happen that, for example, two turns of the same coil are inserted in one of the spaces between the turns of the adjacent coil, which naturally leads to a defect and thus to rejects in the wire link belt produced by this method.
  • the invention avoids these disadvantages. It is based on the object of proposing a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset with which the coils for producing the wire link belt in the area of Narrowing can always be pushed into each other in a flawless manner, even at higher production speeds, and particularly wide wire link belts can be produced.
  • the invention is characterized in that in each case a plurality of pairs of helices inserted into one another are fed to the constriction, in the area of which the spirals are driven in the transport direction.
  • the narrow point is not supplied with individual, free coils, but coils that were already inserted into several pairs in a previous work step.
  • the individual turns of the coils are already spaced apart from one another and fixed there because they have sufficient pretension so that they remain in this position.
  • the turns of the spiral pairs, which are fixed at their intervals, are accordingly fed to the narrow point where they can be inserted into one another without problems.
  • the component forming the narrowing of the constriction exerts the transport force on the coils.
  • the transport force is localized in the right place, namely in the area of the narrow point itself.
  • constriction is generally designed as a gap, this is achieved by narrowing the free cross section of the gap in its height or depth, in contrast to the preferred teaching of the aforementioned DE-PS, where the constriction is in the manner of a zipper slide, ie is formed on the side walls of the gap.
  • a wide wire link belt is produced in a particularly simple manner if one feeds several constructions of mutually staggered spirals, which are offset laterally to one another, from the top and bottom alternately to the narrow point.
  • the device according to the invention for carrying out this method is based on a guide plate on which a cross-sectional constriction is provided, which forms a constriction for a band-shaped structure of the helixes located essentially next to one another there.
  • the guide plate is there, as also mentioned, designed like a zipper.
  • the cross-sectional constriction thus extends there in the direction of the width of the band-shaped structure formed by the nested helices, combined with the disadvantages described at the outset.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore characterized in that the cross-sectional constriction is provided in the direction of the height of the band-shaped structure and is formed by part of the guide plate and by the circumference of a roller driven to rotate.
  • the coils which are already inserted into one another in pairs, are fed to the guide plate with their cross-sectional constriction alternately from above and below, in each case one or more pairs.
  • the invention is further characterized in that at least one upper and one lower guide is provided for the nested coils in the transport direction of the band-shaped structure before the cross-sectional constriction and above and below the plane of the guide plate.
  • slots 2 are created next to one another and parallel to one another.
  • the slots preferably have an inclined rear edge 3.
  • the number and width of the slots depend on the particular circumstances. An even number of slots is preferred since the structures then support one another better.
  • Each slot 2 is fed from below the guide plate 1 in each case at least one structure 4, 5 of helices already inserted into one another in pairs in the direction of the arrows 6. (For the sake of clarity, only a single helix 4 or 5 is shown in FIG. 2, which, however, is actually a helix pair in each case.)
  • the lateral surface 9 of the roller 8 thus forms a constriction or cross-sectional constriction for the band-shaped structure of the combined pairs 4, 5.
  • This constriction thus extends at the height of this band-shaped structure 10, ie in the direction of the double arrow 11. Due to the formation of this constriction, the pairs or structures 4, 5 of the helices already inserted into one another are bent apart on one side in the direction of the height, so that the open the upper coils 4 downwards and the lower coils 5 upwards. This will make the coils perfectly inserted into each other and formed into a band-shaped structure consisting of a series of several, inserted pairs of helices.
  • a plug wire 12 which is also indicated in FIG. 2, is then inserted into the pair of helices inserted into one another from the open front side.
  • the wire link belt produced by this method consists of a total of thirty-six coils. This number can of course be increased or decreased depending on the desired conditions.
  • the finished wire link belt then leaves the device in the direction of arrow 13.
  • the lateral surface 9 is preferably made of a suitable rubber-elastic material in order to exert the necessary propulsive force in the conveying direction 13 on the band-shaped structure or the spirals forming the band-shaped structure in the region of the constriction.
  • the distance in the direction of the double arrow 11 between the guide plate 1 and the roller 8 can be adjusted to adapt to coils of different sizes.
  • the plate 1 is interchangeable with another plate with a different number and / or a different width of the slots 2 in adaptation to the width of the wire link strip to be produced.
  • Upper and lower guide rollers 14, 15 or other guide means via which the upper and lower pairs of spirals 4 and 5 are guided, provide guidance for the pairs of spirals.
  • guide disks 16 on the guide rollers each of which forms a guide space for one of the pairs 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the spiral pairs 4, 5 are also guided in the axial direction of the guide rollers.
  • the drive for the roller 8 can be finely adjusted within a certain speed range. This drive is not shown for simplification.
  • spiral structures 4, 5 mentioned above each consist of a spiral pair. However, it is preferred if several of the spiral pairs are fed to each slot 2. This is indicated in FIG. 2 with additional spiral pairs 4a, 5a, which are fed to the narrow point in the plane of the spiral pairs 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the pairs 4, 4a and 5, 5a are also combined with one another before the constriction, so that four coils are fed to each slot in this example.
