Abstract

Une machine de bobinage pour enrouler simultanément au moins deux fils sur autant de points d'enroulement disposés en séquence l'un à côté de l'autre, est équipée d'un dispositif d'ensouplage croisé à courroie. L'ensouplage croisé est réalisé par des éléments d'entraînement (28a-28d) contrarotatifs qui sont situés à des intervalles réguliers (y) sur une courroie crantée (20) en rotation et saisissent, en alternance, les fils (8a-8d). Les points d'inversion des régions d'ensouplage croisé des points d'enroulement inviduels sont repérés par des déflecteurs (47a-47d; 51a-51d). La distance effective (2) entre deux déflecteurs correspondants (47a-51a; 47b-51b; 47c-51c; 47d-51d), qui détermine la course d'ensouplage croisé, est inférieure à l'entre axe (x) de deux régions d'ensouplage croisé. Cette distance est exactement égale à la moitié de la distance (y) entre deux éléments d'entraînement adjacents (28-28d).A winding machine for winding at least two threads simultaneously on as many winding points arranged in sequence one beside the other, is equipped with a belt cross-harnessing device. Cross-coupling is carried out by counter-rotating drive elements (28a-28d) which are located at regular intervals (y) on a rotating toothed belt (20) and alternately grip the threads (8a-8d) . The points of inversion of the cross-beaming regions of the individual winding points are marked by deflectors (47a-47d; 51a-51d). The effective distance (2) between two corresponding deflectors (47a-51a; 47b-51b; 47c-51c; 47d-51d), which determines the cross-beam stroke, is less than the center distance (x) of two regions cross-binding. This distance is exactly equal to half the distance (y) between two adjacent drive elements (28-28d).

Description

Au dishwasher

Technical field.

The invention relates to a winder for simultaneous winding of at least two threads on an equal number of winding points arranged in series next to one another with the aid of a belt-traversing device, which has the following features:

a) two belt spaces arranged next to one another and moving in a straight line in the opposite direction are equipped with drivers at regular intervals;

b) In addition to the belt spaces, at least two pairs of deflectors are arranged in accordance with the number of winding stations, which mark the reversal points of the individual traversing areas and are suitable for transferring a thread from one driver to an oncoming driver. State of the art.

For winding at extremely high thread speeds - e.g. β,000 m / min. - Dishwashers are known in which the thread is guided back and forth by drivers which are fastened on two belt or belt spaces which are moved in opposite directions and are arranged next to one another. The alternating movement of the thread is not brought about by a single thread guide moved back and forth as in conventional traversing devices, but by the fact that the oppositely moving drivers alternately grasp and guide the thread. Since the drivers at the reversal points of the thread are neither accelerated nor decelerated, the influence of the inertial mass of the thread guiding elements during thread reversal is completely eliminated.

The operation of these known belt changers is e.g. known from DE-OS 15 35 091. If you follow the movement of a driver fastened on one belt drum, that of a driver of the other at a certain point

If belt has been encountered, it can be readily seen that the meeting point with the next driver of the other belt section is at a distance from the first meeting point that is half the distance between two adjacent drivers of a belt belt. This results from the fact that the belt spaces move in the opposite direction at the same speeds. Since the thread is transferred from a driver of one belt strand to a driver of the other belt strand at a meeting point, the traversing stroke is equal to the distance between two meeting points. The transfer is effected by suitable shaping of the drivers and facilitated by stationary deflectors which are arranged at the meeting points. The specified document as well as US Pat. No. 22 38 128 and DE-OS 2β 22 243 can already be seen that the belt spaces can extend over the traversing areas of a plurality of winding stations arranged next to one another. However, none of the documents mentioned so far provide any further information about the structure and mode of action of belt changers for simultaneous winding of several threads.

A traversing device is indicated schematically in DE-OS 35 05 188, in which the distance on which the belt strands run side by side is a multiple of the distance between two drivers. Therefore, there are several meeting points on this route at regular intervals. This is exploited to work with a single pair of

Belt spaces to operate several - four in this example - winding stations. According to the teaching of this document - the distance between two drivers is twice the traversing stroke; Obviously, it is assumed that the traverse stroke is equal to the distance between two meeting points. This gives rise to a problem: for reasons that are obvious, it is not possible to wind coils lying next to one another in such a way that the mutually facing end faces lie close together. But if a distance between two coils is absolutely necessary, then this distance on and the invariable position of the meeting points must be the distance between two meeting points or a multiple thereof. Accordingly, the document teaches that the center distance of the winding points from each other is twice the traversing stroke. In other words, the distance between two coils is equal to the length of one coil. DE-OS 34 44 648 deals with the problem of arranging a plurality of coils to be wound as close to one another in an Au dishwasher with a belt changer, as is customary in traversing devices with a roller screw drive.

To solve this problem, a length compensation should be carried out on the circumferential belt strands. For this purpose, the belt spaces between two adjacent traversing areas are deflected out of the traversing plane with the aid of deflection rollers, the detour distance being an even multiple of the traversing length. The arrangement of the deflection rollers is structurally more complex, the more winding stations are arranged on a winding mandrel. In practice, it should be difficult to accommodate more than two winding stations on one winding mandrel. A conversion of a machine that is equipped for a certain number of winding stations to a different number of winding stations should - if at all - only be possible with substantial modifications.

Disclosure of the invention.

The present invention is based on the object belonging to the technical field specified at the outset

To create on a dishwasher, which offers the possibility of producing several closely spaced coils with the least effort, and which can easily be converted to a different number of winding stations. This object is achieved in that the center distances of the traversing areas are half as large as the distances of the drivers of a belt strand and that the effective distances of the two deflectors of a traversing area are smaller than the center distances of the traversing areas.

Here, the "effective distance" between the two deflectors is the distance between the points at which the thread is actually released by the arriving catch from the deflector.

The effective distance is therefore equal to the traversing stroke. According to the invention, the effective distance is deliberately made smaller than the distance between two meeting points; the difference is used to maintain the indispensable distance between the end faces of two adjacent coils. The advantage over the device according to DE-OS 35 05 188 is in particular that twice as many coils can be accommodated on a winding mandrel of the same length. The advantage over the device according to DE-OS 34 44 648 is the simplicity and problem-free possibility of switching to a different number of winding stations.

Another feature of the invention is that the deflectors are displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the axis of a winding mandrel and are coupled by a gear with a contact element lying on the winding surface in the sense of a distance between the two deflectors of a traversing area which becomes smaller with increasing winding diameter. This makes it possible to reduce the effective spacing of the deflectors with increasing winding diameter and in this way to produce coils with conical or curved end faces. Brief description of the drawing.

The drawing serves to explain the invention with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form.

Figure 1 shows schematically the winding machine, partly in section, from the side.

Figure 2 shows a view of the traversing device.

Figure 3 shows the arrangement of the windings in section.

Figure 4 shows the traversing device from above.

Figure 5 shows - pulled apart in the transverse direction - individual parts of the traversing device from above.

A sleeve 1 with a winding 2 on a winding mandrel 3 can be seen in FIG. As will be seen below, however, the dishwashing machine has a total of four winding positions lying side by side, i.e. on the mandrel 3 there are a total of four sleeves with four windings. The winding mandrel 3 is connected to a machine frame (not shown) in such a way that its position relative to the machine frame does not change during the construction of the winding 2. He can e.g. sit on a revolver head.

A drive roller 5, which is driven by a motor (not shown), is mounted in a housing 4, which is only indicated schematically and which can be moved back and forth relative to the machine frame in a vertical guide. A traversing device 6 is accommodated in the housing 4 in close proximity to the drive roller 5. Are each attached by immovably connected to the machine frame yarn guide ^~, the filters corresponding to the number of Wickel¬ centered over the associated winding station, threads 8 are supplied at a high speed of the traversing device 6, passed through a short free span, then lie on an arc of slightly more than 90 ° to the surface of the driving roller 5 and from there reach the winding 2. In accordance with the increasing winding diameter, the driving roller 5, together with the traversing device 6, deviates upwards, as symbolized by the arrow 9.

The traversing device 6 is arranged in the housing 4 on a cross member 10. A motor 13 with a toothed drive pulley 14 sits on a plate 11 welded to the crossbar 10, adjustable by means of an adjusting screw 12 in the longitudinal direction of the crossbar 10. At the other end of the crossbar 10 there is also a toothed deflection pulley 15 on a slide 16 stored, which is slidably guided on guide rods 17 in the direction of the crossmember 10. A tension spring 18, which is supported on a bracket 19, presses the carriage 16 in the direction of the end of the crossmember 10 via the drive pulley 10 and the deflection pulley 15, an endless toothed belt 20 is guided. The upper run 21 of the toothed belt 20 is deflected by two further toothed pulleys 22, 23, which are mounted in the vicinity of the drive pulley or the deflection pulley 15, so that it runs parallel to the lower run 24 at a short distance. In the direction of rotation of drive pulley 14 illustrated by arrow 25, upper run 21 runs in the direction of arrow 26, lower run 24 runs in the opposite direction according to arrow 27. On the edge of the toothed belt 20 facing away from the cross member 10, drivers 28 are fastened at regular intervals.

Above the upper run 21, a bearing housing 29 is fastened to the crossmember 10 close to the toothed disk 22, in which a gearwheel 30 is mounted with a horizontally lying axis. A guide block 31 is fastened on the other side of the traverse 10 in the vicinity of the toothed disk 22, which is adjacent to the motor 13.

An upper push rod 32 and a lower push rod 33 are slidably guided in bores in the guide block 31 and the bearing housing 29, parallel to one another and to the two runs 21, 24 of the toothed belt 20. Both push rods 32, 33 are provided in the area of the bearing housing 29 on the mutually facing sides with teeth which mesh with the gear 30 at 180 ° offset positions.

Fixed on the lower push rod 33 is located a bush 34. A compression spring 35, which is supported on an abutment 36 which pushes the connector ^'34 and thus the lower Schub¬ rod 33 in the direction of the motor 13. As a result of by the gear 30 effected opposite coupling, the upper push rod 32 is pressed in the opposite direction - to the right in the drawing. The upper push rod 32 is extended on the side on which the deflection plate 15 is arranged, beyond the end of the crossmember 10, and is provided with a feeler roller 37 at the end. This rests against the guide rail 38 under the pressure exerted by the spring 35 without play.

The guide rail 38 can be pivoted about a pivot 39 which is seated in a fork 39 welded to the machine frame. In the basic position represented by solid lines, the guide rail 38 is arranged vertically, i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the runs 21, 24 and accordingly also perpendicular to the winding axis.

From this position it can be pivoted in the direction of arrow 41 in the plane in which the push rods 32, 33 lie, through an angle of up to approximately 30 °. Within this angle it is in any position - such as in the position 38 'illustrated by broken lines - can be locked by means of adjusting screws 42, 43.

On the upper push rod 32 connecting pieces 44, 45 are firmly clamped, which reach down to the height of the strands 21, 24. A thin strip 46 is screwed to it, which lies flat in the narrow space between the runs 21, 24 and extends almost over the entire free length between the toothed disks 22, 23. The connecting pieces 44, 45 are provided with bores in which the lower push rod 33 slides freely. The bar 46 is in gleich¬ regular intervals with a total of four deflectors 47a - provided 47d (in particular figure ^~), the forward over the area occupied by the drivers 28 the leading edge of the timing belt 20 a little further extend than the driver 28 itself, the deflector 47th the strip 46 are beveled in a wedge shape on the flank facing the motor 13 - to the left in the drawing. Correspondingly, with the lower push rod 33 through connecting pieces 48, 49 which have holes for the same _. tend passage of the upper push rod 32 are provided, a strip 50 connected, which is also just below the strip 46 between the strands 21, 24. The strip 50 has four deflectors 51a-51d, which are arranged at the same intervals as the deflectors 47a-47d and, like these, are provided with a wedge bevel, but ^' on the opposite side, on the right in the drawing.

In the position shown in the drawing and which can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 5, the deflectors 47a with 51b, 47b with 51c and 47c with 51d each overlap with their wider sides.

The distance x between two deflectors 47a-47d is exactly half the distance y between two adjacent drivers 28a-28d; the same applies to the spacings of the deflectors 51a-51d.

A total of four threads 8a-8d run to the dishwasher shown in the drawing (FIG. 5). The threads 8a and 8c are moved to the right by the drivers 28a and 28c of the upper run 21 in the drawing, the threads 8b and 8d by the drivers 28b and 28d of the lower run 24 to the left. In the position shown, the threads 8a and 8c are already in contact with the wedge-shaped rising flanks of the deflectors 47a, 47c, as are the threads 8b and 8d with the flanks of the deflectors 51b, 51d, which are bevelled in the opposite direction. The threads 8a and 8c are located immediately before the right reversal point of their traversing area, the threads 8b and 8d before the left reversal point. In the following instant, all the threads are released from contact with the associated driver by the deflectors and - due to the central arrangement of the thread guides 7 above the assigned winding stations - reverse their direction of movement. After they have initially moved freely, one driver takes each of them, namely the thread 8a from the driver 28b, the thread 8b from the driver 28a, the thread 8c from the driver 28d and the thread 8d from the driver 28c.

This game is repeated accordingly at the opposite reversal points of the individual traversing areas.

The total of four traversing areas are delimited by the deflector pairs 47a-51a, 47b-51b, 47c-51c and 47d-51d. The exact limit of the traversing area lies in each case at the point at which the wedge bevel of the deflector penetrates the plane in which the outermost tips of the drivers 28 run. The effective distance z, i.e. the distance i defined by the limits of the traversing area, is smaller than the center distance x of two neighboring changie areas, which - in accordance with the distance between adjacent deflectors 47a - 47d or 51a - 51d - is exactly half as large as the distance y between two adjacent drivers 28a-28d. When the guide rail 38 is vertical, the positions of the deflectors 47a-47d and 51a-51d remain unchanged during winding. The wraps have flat end faces. The length of a roll - ie the distance between its two end faces - corresponds to the effective distance z. The length of the sleeve is x. The distance between the mutually facing end faces of two adjacent windings, ie the difference between x and z, can be small compared to the length of the windings. The sleeve only needs to protrude a little from the end faces of the finished winding, so that the windings do not slide off the sleeve ends and there is also enough space for a knot winding.

However, when the guide rail 38 assumes the erkenn¬ in Figure 2 face inclined position, the ^'upward moving on the guide rail 38 sensing roller of the tilt obtained with 37 it the push rod 32 corresponding to the guide rail 38, a horizontal motion component - in the drawing to the left. The push rod 33 inevitably moves to the right. With the push rods 32, 33, the strips 46, 50 with the deflectors 47, 51 move to the same extent. The deflectors 47a and 51a, which determine the reversal points for the construction of the winding 2a, therefore move towards one another with increasing winding diameter , as well as the related other pairs of deflectors. The traversing stroke is reduced and the winding becomes conical, the cone corresponding exactly to the angle setting of the guide rail 38. If the dishwasher is to be switched from four winding stations to eight correspondingly narrower winding stations, the toothed belt 20 is exchanged for another toothed belt which has twice the number of drivers over the same length. In addition, the strips 46, 50 are to be replaced by strips with correspondingly closer deflectors. The gearbox for the automatic deflection of the deflectors remains unchanged; if necessary, the cone angle can be changed by simply adjusting the guide rail 38.

Embodiments of the invention.

The preferred embodiment of the invention is that which has been shown in the drawing. It is characterized, among other things, by the fact that the two belt spaces belong to a single continuous endless belt. However, the invention is also applicable to dishwashers whose belt changer has two circumferential endless belts, with one strand of one belt lying next to an oppositely moving strand of the other belt, as is known from the documents cited in the prior art.

The word "strap" is used in the description above

For the sake of simplicity and clarity, representative of other traction means, such as belts, chains, ropes, which in principle can be used instead of belts in such traversing devices; however, belts are preferred, namely toothed belts.

Commercial applicability.

The main application of the Au dishwasher according to the invention is the production and processing of threads made of synthetic material.
