Abstract

There is described a method and a device for the production of a wire jointed-band of alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively, wound spirals of metal wire or artificial resin wire, wherein the spirals are guided to a narrow pass such that the windings providing the spirals open themselves in the area of the narrow pass and in this the parallel spirals partly are pushed into each other such that in each case one of the windings of one spiral is placed between adjacent windings of the adjacent spiral whereby the spirals thus fitted into each other are connected with each other by inserting a coupling wire into the space provided by the overlapping windings and whereby in each case several of the pairs of spirals fitted into each other are guided to the narrow space in which area the spirals are driven in the transporting direction. This is resulting in a high production speed and broad wire jointed-bands.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines eines Drahtgliederbandes, bestehend aus mehreren nebeneinander angeordneten abwechselnd rechtsgängig bzw. linksgängig gewickelten Wendeln aus Metalldraht oder Kunststoffdraht, die in der Ebene des Drahtgliederbandes derart ineinander gesteckt sind, daß sich ihre Windungen teilweise überlappen, wobei in die sich überlappenden Windungen jeweils ein Kupplungsdraht eingeführt ist, mit einer Engstellte, der die jeweils paarweise ineiander gesteckten Wendein aus verschiedenen Richtungen zugeführt werden und in der die Wendeln durch eine Auslenkung aufgebogen werden, so daß sie sich ineinanderfügen, wobei die Engstelle durch eine in Transportrichtung der Wendeln angetriebene Walze gebildet wird, die mit einem Gegenlager zusammenarbeitet.The invention relates to a device for producing a wire link belt, consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed alternating right-handed or left-handed coils made of metal wire or plastic wire, which are inserted into one another in the plane of the wire link belt so that their turns partially overlap, in which A coupling wire is inserted into each of the overlapping turns, with a constriction to which the twists inserted in pairs are fed from different directions and in which the coils are bent up by a deflection so that they join into one another, the constriction being caused by a direction of transport of the coils driven roller is formed, which cooperates with a counter bearing.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung beschreibt die DE-B-3 127 149. Das Gegenlager wird dort durch eine sich drehende Walze gebildet, die zusammen mit der erwähnten Walze ein Walzenpaar ausbildet, zwischen dem die Engstelle ausgebildet wird. In Transportrichtung der Wendelpaare befindet sich dort vor der Engstelle ein im Querschnitt etwa elliptisch geformter Umlenkkörper mit Leitflächen, über die die Wendelpaare altemierend von oben bzw. unten der Engstelle zugeführt werden. Parallel zueinander und voneinander beabstandet hat der Leitkörper Führungsstege, die die dem Leitkörper zugeführten Wendeln zu den Wendelpaaren paarweise vereinigen. Hier besteht aber die Gefahr, daß die Wendelpaare beim Erreichen der Engstelle nicht mehr einwandfrei paarweise ineinandergesteckt sind, weil sie von dem Führungskörper bis zur Engstelle eine gewisse Strecke zurücklegen müssen, in der sie nicht geführt sind. Insbesondere bei höheren Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten besteht daher die Vermutung, daß die vorbeschriebene Vorrichtung nicht einwandfrei arbeitet.Such a device is described in DE-B-3 127 149. The counter bearing is formed there by a rotating roller which, together with the roller mentioned, forms a pair of rollers between which the constriction is formed. In the direction of transport of the spiral pairs there is a deflecting body of approximately elliptical cross-section with guide surfaces in front of the constriction, via which the spiral pairs are alternately fed from above or below the constriction. Parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another, the guide body has guide webs which combine the coils supplied to the guide body to form the pairs of coils. Here, however, there is the danger that the helical pairs are no longer properly inserted into one another in pairs when they reach the narrow point because they have to travel a certain distance from the guide body to the narrow point, in which they are not guided. Particularly at higher production speeds, there is therefore a presumption that the device described above does not work properly.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen vorzuschlagen, mit der die Wendeln zur Herstellung des Drahtgliederbandes im Bereich der Engstelle stets in einwandfreier Weise ineinander geschoben werden, auch bei höheren Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten, und wobei sich besonders breite Drahtgliederbänder herstellen lassen.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a device with the features mentioned above, with which the coils for producing the wire link belt in the area of the constriction are always pushed into each other in a flawless manner, even at higher production speeds, and wherein particularly wide wire link belts can be produced .

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Gegenlager aus einer Platte besteht, in der in Transportrichtung der Wendeln nebeneinander mehrere Schlitze zur Führung der Wendeln vorgesehen sind, die von der der angetriebenen Walze entgegengesetzten Seite der Platte her in die Schlitze eingeführt und zur Engstelle transportiert werden.To achieve this object, the invention is characterized in that the counter-bearing consists of a plate in which, in the transport direction of the coils, a plurality of slots for guiding the coils are provided, which are inserted into the slots from the side of the plate opposite the driven roller and be transported to the bottleneck.

Durch diese Merkmale werden die Wendelpaare bis zum Erreichen der Engstelle in einwandfreier Weise geführt und vereinigen sich im Bereich der Engstelle mit den Wendelpaaren, die der Engstelle von der Seite der angetriebenen Walze her zugeleitet werden. Versuche haben ergeben, daß die Führung der Wendelpaare durch die Schlitze in der Platte ausreicht, obgleich die von der Seite der angetriebenen Walze her zugeführten Wendelpaare nicht notwendigerweise durch gesonderte Mittel geführt werden müssen. An der Engstelle treffen diese von der Seite der angetriebenen her kommenden Wendelpaare - mit Ausnahme an den Randbereichen - jeweils rechts und links auf durch die Schlitze geführt der Engstelle zugeführten Wendelpaare.These features guide the pairs of coils in a flawless manner until they reach the narrow point and unite in the area of the narrow point with the spiral pairs that are fed to the narrow point from the side of the driven roller. Experiments have shown that the guidance of the pairs of coils through the slots in the plate is sufficient, although the pairs of coils fed from the side of the driven roller do not necessarily have to be guided by separate means. At the constriction, these come from the side of the driven spiral pairs - with the exception of the edge areas - on the right and left in each case through the slots led to the constriction supplied to the constriction.

Die Wendeln wurden also in einem vorhergehenden Arbeitsgang bereits zu mehreren Paaren ineinandergesteckt. Dadurch sind die einzelnen Windungen der Wendel zueinander schon in den vorbestimmten Abstand gebracht und dort fixiert, weil sie eine ausreichende Vorspannung haben, damit sie in dieser Lage verbleiben. Diese gewissermaßen in ihren Abständen fixierten Windungen der Wendelpaare werden der Engstelle zugeführt, wo sie problemlos ineinander gesteckt werden.In a previous step, the coils were already inserted into several pairs. As a result, the individual turns of the helix are already at a predetermined distance from one another and fixed there because they have sufficient pretension so that they remain in this position. These turns of the spiral pairs, which are fixed in their spacing to a certain extent, are fed to the narrow point, where they are easily inserted into one another.

Weil man im Bereich der Engstelle die Kraft für den Transport des aus den ineinander gesteckten Wendeln bestehenden Gebildes auf das Gebilde ausübt, ergeben sich keine unterschiedlich starke Längungen auf die einzelnen Wendeln mit ihren Windungen, die bei einem anderen bekannten Stand der Technik zu Fehlstellen geführt haben. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung lassen , sich also stabile und besonders breite Drahtgliederbänder in einem Arbeitsgang herstellen.Because in the area of the constriction the force for the transport of the structure consisting of the nested helixes is exerted on the structure, there are no different degrees of elongation on the individual helixes with their turns, which have led to defects in another known prior art . With the device according to the invention, stable and particularly wide wire link belts can be produced in one operation.

Weil man die Wendelpaare der Engstelle aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen von oben bzw. von unten zuführt, wird das Aufbiegen der Wendeln im Bereich der Engstelle erleichtert.Because the helical pairs of the constriction are fed from different directions from above or below, the bending of the helices in the region of the constriction is made easier.

Weil das die Verengung der Engstelle ausbildende Bauteil die Transportkraft auf die Wendeln ausübt, wird die Transportkraft genau an der richtigen Stelle lokalisiert aufgebracht, nämlich im Bereich der Engstelle selbst.Because the component that forms the narrowing of the constriction exerts the transport force on the coils, the transport force is applied precisely at the right place, namely in the area of the constriction itself.

Auf die Wendelpaare übt man in der Engstelle einen Druck aus, der im wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Ebene des dort hergestellten Drahtgliederbandes verläuft. Der die Engstelle ausbildende Spalt wird hier also in seiner Höhe bzw. Tiefe in seinem freien Querschnitt verengt.A pressure is exerted on the spiral pairs in the constriction, which is essentially perpendicular to the plane of the wire link strip produced there. The gap forming the constriction is thus narrowed in its height or depth in its free cross section.

Der Engstelle können mehrere seitlich zueinander versetzte Gebilde von ineinander gesteckten Spiralen abwechselnd von oben bzw. unten zugeführt werden.The constriction can be supplied with several mutually offset structures of spirals inserted one inside the other alternately from above and below.

Die bereits paarweise ineinander gesteckten Wendeln werden der Führungsplatte und der Querschnittsverengung alternierend von oben bzw. unten zugeführt, und zwar jeweils ein oder mehrere Wendelpaare. Um dies zu erreichen, können in Transportrichtung des Gliederbandes vor der Engstelle und oberhalb und unterhalb der Ebene der Führungsplatte jeweils wenigstens eine obere bzw. eine untere Führung für die ineinander gesteckten Wendeln vorgesehen sein.The coils, which are already inserted into one another in pairs, are alternately fed to the guide plate and the cross-sectional constriction from above and below, in each case one or more pairs of coils. To achieve this, at least one upper and one lower guide for the nested helices can be provided in the transport direction of the link belt in front of the constriction and above and below the level of the guide plate.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigt :

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf die Führungsplatte ;
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie 11-11 von Fig. 1 mit weiteren Bauteilen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, wobei auch die Führung der paarweise ineinander gesteckten Wendeln und ihre Vereinigung miteinander angedeutet ist.
The invention is based on a Embodiment explained in more detail. It shows :
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the guide plate.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section along the line 11-11 of Fig. 1 with other components of the device according to the invention, wherein the guidance of the helixes inserted in pairs and their union with each other is indicated.

In einer in den Figuren gezeigten Führungsplatte 1 sind nebeneinander und parallel zueinander mehrere Schlitze 2 angelegt. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel sind sechs derartiger Schlitze vorgesehen. Die Schlitze haben vorzugsweise eine geneigte rückwärtige Kante 3. Die Anzahl und Breite der Schlitze richtet sich nach den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten. Bevorzugt wird eine geradzahlige Anzahl der Schlitze, da sich die Gebilde dann gegenseitig besser stützen.In a guide plate 1 shown in the figures, several slots 2 are created next to one another and parallel to one another. In the exemplary embodiment, six such slots are provided. 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.

Jedem Schlitz 2 wird von unterhalb der Führungsplatte 1 jeweils wenigstens ein Gebilde 4, 5 von bereits paarweise ineinander gesteckten Wendeln in Richtung der Pfeile 6 zugeführt. (Zur Verdeutlichung ist in Fig. 2 nur eine einzelne Wendel 4 bzw. 5 gezeigt, die in Wirklichkeit aber jeweils ein Wendelpaar ist.)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.)

Direkt über den Schlitzen 2 befindet sich eine in Richtung des Pfeiles 7 auf Drehung angetriebene Walze 8. Zusammen mit der Kante 3 bildet die Mantelfläche 9 der Walze 8 somit eine Engstelle bzw. Querschnittsverengung für das bandförmige Gebilde der vereinigten Paare 4, 5 aus. Diese Engstelle erstreckt sich also in der Höhe dieses bandförmigen Gebildes 10, d. h. in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 11. Durch die Ausbildung dieser Engstelle werden die Paare oder Gebilde 4, 5 der bereits ineinander gesteckten Wendeln in Richtung der Höhe einseitig auseinander gebogen, so daß sich die oberen Wendeln 4 nach unten öffnen und die unteren Wendeln 5 nach oben. Dadurch werden die Wendeln einwandfrei ineinander gesteckt und zu dem bandförmigen Gebilde, bestehend aus einer Reihe von mehreren, ineinander gesteckten Wendelpaaren geformt. Jeweils in ein Paar der ineinander gesteckten Wendeln wird dann von der offenen Vorderseite her noch ein Steckdraht 12 eingesteckt, der ebenfalls in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das nach diesem Verfahren hergestellte Drahtgliederband aus insgesamt sechsunddreißig Wendeln. Diese Anzahl kann natürlich vergrößert oder verkleinert werden, je nach den gewünschten Verhältnissen. Das fertige Drahtgliederband verläßt dann die Vorrichtung in Richtung des Pfeiles 13.Directly above the slots 2 there is a roller 8 driven to rotate in the direction of the arrow 7. Together with the edge 3, 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, d. H. in the direction of the double arrow 11. By forming this constriction, the pairs or structures 4, 5 of the helixes already inserted into one another are bent apart on one side in the direction of the height, so that the upper helixes 4 open downward and the lower helixes 5 upward. As a result, the helixes are inserted into one another without any problems and formed into the band-shaped structure consisting of a series of several pairs of helixes inserted into one another. 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. In the exemplary embodiment shown, 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.

Die Mantelfläche 9 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem geeigneten gummielastischen Material, um im Bereich der Engstelle auch die notwendige Vortriebskraft in Förderrichtung 13 auf das bandförmige Gebilde bzw. die das bandförmige Gebilde, ausbildenden Wendeln auszuüben. Außerdem ist der Abstand in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 11 zwischen der Führungsplatte 1 und der Walze 8 einstellbar in Anpassung an unterschiedlich große Wendeln. Die Platte 1 ist gegen eine andere Platte mit einer anderen Anzahl und/oder einer anderen Breite der Schlitze 2 austauschbar in Anpassung an die Breite des jeweils herzustellenden Drahtgliederbandes.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 area of the constriction. In addition, 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.

Für die Führung der Wendelpaare sorgen obere bzw. untere Führungsrollen 14, 15 oder andere Führungsmittel, über die die oberen bzw. unteren Wendelpaare 4 bzw. 5 geführt sind. Beabstandet voneinander stecken auf den Führungsrollen Führungsscheiben 16, die zwischen sich jeweils einen Führungsraum für eines der Paare 4 bzw. 5 ausbilden. Dadurch werden die Wendelpaare 4, 5 auch in axialer Richtung der Führungsrollen geführt.Upper and lower guide rollers 14, 15 or other guide means are provided for guiding the spiral pairs, via which the upper and lower spiral pairs 4 and 5 are guided. At a distance from each other, there are guide disks 16 on the guide rollers, which each form a guide space for one of the pairs 4 and 5. As a result, the spiral pairs 4, 5 are also guided in the axial direction of the guide rollers.

Der Antrieb für die Walze 8 kann innerhalb eines bestimmten Geschwindigkeitsbereiches feineingestellt werden. Dieser Antrieb ist zur Vereinfachung nicht dargestellt.The drive for the roller 8 can be finely adjusted within a certain speed range. This drive is not shown for simplification.

Die vorstehend erwähnten Wendelgebilde 4, 5 bestehen jeweils aus einem Wendelpaar. Bevorzugt wird es allerdings, wenn jedem Schlitz 2 mehrere der Wendelpaare zugeführt werden. Dies ist in Fig. 2 mit zusätzlichen Wendelpaaren 4a, 5a angedeutet, die der Engstelle in der Ebene der Wendelpaare 4 bzw. 5 zugeführt werden.The 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.

Die Paare 4, 4a sowie 5, 5a werden vor der Engstelle ebenfalls miteinander vereinigt, so daß bei diesem Beispiel jedem Schlitz vier Wendeln zugeführt werden.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.

Hat die Platte 1 z. B. sechs Schlitze 2, so führt man bei diesem Beispiel 6 x 4 = 24 Spiralen von unten zu. Die von oben zugeführten Spiralpaare, die nicht durch die Schlitze laufen, erhöhen dann die Gesamtzahl der zu dem Drahtgliederband verarbeiteten Spiralen auf 44.Has the plate 1 z. B. six slots 2, 6 x 4 = 24 spirals from below to this example. The spiral pairs fed from above, which do not run through the slots, then increase the total number of spirals processed to form the wire link belt to 44.

Führt man der Platte - bei entsprechender Verbreiterung ihrer Schlitze - eine größere Anzahl von Doppelspiralen, etwa Viererspiralen, zu, so wird das in einem Arbeitsgang gebildete Draht- gliederband wesentlich breiter und die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit erhöht. Man kann durch entsprechende Anordnung die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit beispielsweise verdoppeln.Leads to the plate - with a corresponding widening of its slots - a larger number of double helices, such as four coils, too, so the wire formed in a single operation is g songs band substantially wider and increases the production speed. The production speed can be doubled, for example, by an appropriate arrangement.

Man kann jedem Schlitz auch noch mehr der Wendelpaare zuführen, die aber jeweils schon vor der Engstelle miteinander vereinigt sind, zumindest soweit sie der Engstelle aus einer Richtung zugeführt werden (Gebilde 4, 4a bzw. 5, 5a).It is also possible to feed even more of the spiral pairs to each slot, but these are already combined with one another before the constriction, at least insofar as they are fed to the constriction from one direction (structures 4, 4a and 5, 5a).

Wichtig ist - wegen der gegenseitigen Führung der Wendeln - auch die jeweils geradzahlige Anzahl der vor der Engstelle vereinigten Wendeln zu den Wendelpaaren, Viererwendeln, Sechserwendeln u. s. f.It is important - because of the mutual guidance of the helixes - that the even number of helixes combined before the constriction to the helix pairs, four-helixes, six-helixes and the like. s. f.
