Definitions

  • the invention relates to a winding device for a thread, in particular for a thread with approximately zero elongation, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Winding devices of the type in question have long been known. They serve to unwind the thread from the supply spool and to wind it up in a certain way on a base body, for example on the base body of a cheese. It is always particularly important to realize the winding of the thread on the base body with a thread tension that is as constant as possible.
  • a large number of developments deal with the question of how it is possible to wind cross-wound bobbins and other bobbins with a corresponding base body with a thread tension that is as constant as possible or with a defined change (DE-PS 37 23 593).
  • the correct control of the thread tension when winding threads with approximately zero elongation, for example of new plastic filaments such as Kevlar or the like, is of particular importance.
  • the winding device claimed is particularly well suited for this area of application.
  • the winding device known from practice, from which the invention is based has a supply spool for the thread which is driven directly by the unwind drive.
  • the thread tension constant is designed as a dancer arm device.
  • the thread tension constant can be used to control slight fluctuations in the thread tension that originate from the base body.
  • the invention now relates to the problem of how a winding device of the type in question can be designed so that a largely constant thread tension on the base body can be realized without problems even with strong thread tension changes originating from the base body.
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved in a winding device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the invention is based initially on the knowledge that fluctuations in the thread tension can also originate from the base body when the rotary drive of the base body is optimally controlled.
  • a control specific to the shape of the base body can at best be achieved. In the case of irregularly shaped base bodies, even this is almost impossible due to the inertia of the system comprising the rotary drive and base body with the thread wound up.
  • the teaching of the invention is also based on the knowledge that the changes in the thread tension emanating from the base body are ultimately only the result of changes in the winding speed of the thread on the base body, which then also cause corresponding accelerations of the thread.
  • the winding speeds can vary extremely depending on the angular position of the base body.
  • a pre-regulation is implemented to a certain extent in the winding device according to the invention in that the instantaneous speed of the thread is measured by measuring technology directly in front of the base body or the thread tail unit arranged upstream of the base body. This measurement signal is forwarded directly to the electronic control, from which the unwind drive in the unwind device is then controlled accordingly. Immediately after increasing or decreasing the The unwind drive is consequently adjusted to the winding speed on the base body, much faster than the increased thread tension is noticeably noticeable on the thread tension constant. The remaining delay, which is not completely avoidable due to the inertia of the control according to the invention, but is considerably less, can be easily controlled by the thread tension constant. Extreme changes in thread tension emanating from the base body are reduced in control technology terms by using the speed sensor close to the base body in very small changes in thread tension on the thread tension constant.
  • the winding device shown in the single figure of the drawing is one for a thread 1 with approximately zero elongation, for example for plastic filaments such as Kevlar or the like.
  • a winding device can also be used for a thread with a limited zero elongation, in which case the control technology means that Zero stretching of the thread must be taken into account by correction factors.
  • a base body 2 belongs on the winding side, onto which the Thread 1 can be wound.
  • This base body 2 is attached to a carrier 3 in the exemplary embodiment shown here. It is preceded by a conventional thread tail unit 4, which is only indicated here as a simple thread guide eyelet. Also only hinted at, namely in the form of the corresponding drive shaft for the base body 2, there is a rotary drive 5 for the base body 2.
  • Such a rotary drive 5 is regularly an electric rotary drive, although in principle the drive energy is not important for the teaching of the invention.
  • a unwinding device 6 for the thread 1 On the unwinding side there is a unwinding device 6 for the thread 1, which initially has a supply spool 7 for the thread 1, a mostly electrical unwind drive 8 for the thread 1, a thread tension constant 9 and an electrical or electronic control 10. It is shown here that the unrolling device 6 has a support frame 11 on which the various parts of the unrolling device 6 are attached or supported.
  • the unwind drive 8 is here equipped with a direct current motor and a drive belt 12 which simultaneously realizes a specific reduction ratio.
  • the thread 1 is guided close to the base body 2 or in front of the upstream thread guide 4 by a speed sensor 13, that the speed Measurement signal of the speed sensor 13 is fed to the controller 10 and that the unwinding speed of the unwind drive 8 is controlled by the controller 10 in accordance with the speed measurement signal.
  • the speed sensor 13 is designed as a tachometer generator with a tachometer roller 14 acting on the thread 1.
  • the tachometer roller 14 is assigned a guide and pressure roller 15 in a manner known per se.
  • two guide and pressure rollers 15 could also be used to be available.
  • Indicated is a rotary signal transmitter 16, by means of which the rotation of the speedometer roller 14 is converted into an electronic measurement signal, namely the speed measurement signal, which can then be processed by the controller 10 in terms of control technology.
  • the speed sensor 13 There are of course a large number of other technical implementation options for the speed sensor 13, for example by means of an angle encoder, a resolver or the like. Ultimately, the measurement accuracy required depends on the measurement technology that is implemented for the speed sensor 13.
  • the previously explained teaching of the invention could be used in connection with a classic rolling drive 8, as has been explained in relation to the prior art. This alone would result in a significant improvement in terms of a solution to the problem outlined above.
  • the inertia of the unwind drive known from the prior art also makes a further configuration in the sense of increasing the response speed appear expedient there.
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention shows that the supply spool 8 is designed as a freewheel spool, optionally provided with a braking device, and that the unwind drive 8 is separated from the supply spool 7 and engages the thread 1 drawn off from the supply spool 7.
  • This further embodiment of the teaching is based on the consideration that the response speed of the unwind drive 8 is significantly increased if it is freed from the inertia of the supply reel 7. Even without another freewheel mechanism between them separated unwind drive 8 and the supply spool 7, the extended attack lever arm (on the outer circumference of the supply spool 7 compared to the attack lever arm of the previously known unwind drive on the inner circumference of the supply spool 7) brings about a considerably increased response speed. The response speed is of course then further improved by an intermediate freewheel mechanism. This will be explained later.
  • the illustrated embodiment shows a particularly preferred construction, which is characterized in that the unwinding drive 8 has a wrap roller 18 driven by a drive motor 17 with a parallel idler roller 19 and possibly a thread guide 20 arranged therebetween for engagement with the thread 1.
  • a drive is also referred to as a godet.
  • the thread tail unit 20 can consist of a plurality of guide rods that are parallel to one another and form thread guides that are open to the outside, for example made of highly slidable plastic or the like.
  • An anti-slip pad is recommended for the wrap roller 18.
  • the wrapping roller 18 and preferably also the idler roller 19 can be designed with little inertia, in particular as hollow rollers, as is also shown here in the drawing.
  • a thread guide 21 is arranged between the supply spool 7 and the unwind drive 8.
  • the thread tail unit 21 can also be set up as a freewheel mechanism.
  • the illustrated and preferred embodiment shows that the thread guide 21 has a fixed guide eye 22 and a deflection roller 24 mounted on a swivel arm 23.
  • the swivel arm 23 can be spring-loaded be burdens, but is arranged and designed in the embodiment shown here so that it just hangs down under its own weight and thereby gives the thread 1 a certain basic tension in this area.
  • the supply spool 7 is designed as a freewheel spool.
  • the thread tail unit 21 in the exemplary embodiment shown here offers correspondingly necessary compensation options.
  • This thread guide 21 can also be used to brake the supply spool 7 while reducing the thread speed.
  • the braking device of the supply spool 7 is controlled by the swivel arm 23 of the thread tail unit 21.
  • the braking effect of the braking device of the supply spool 7 is reduced when the thread 1 is tightening, and is increased when the thread tension decreases and the pivoting arm 23 decreases.
  • the thread constant 9 has a spatially adjustable guide element 25.
  • a transducer is provided for measuring the position of the guide element 25, the position measurement signal is fed to the control 10 and the unwind drive 8 is controlled by the control 10, with further consideration of the control measurement signal.
  • the position measurement signal of the guide element 25 in the control 10 is evaluated as a control signal of a control circuit, the control signal of which is fed to the unwind drive 8 and that the control element 25 is deflected by a control in relation to a desired position is returned to the target position.
  • This control technology ensures that when the speed of the thread 1 changes very rapidly, an additional control signal is given to the control 10 for the unwind drive 8. This makes it possible to move the movable guide element 25 as far as possible going to keep in its target position. This in turn takes into account the influence of the position of the guide element 25 on the thread tension, which is unfortunately not to be neglected entirely, however its disturbing effect is largely eliminated.
  • this thread constant 9 is designed as a dancer arm device.
  • this dancer arm device has two deflection rollers 26, 27 and a dancer roller 29 lying between the deflection rollers 26, 27 and mounted on the dancer arm 28, the dancer arm 28 preferably being biased away from the deflection rollers 26, 27.
  • the guide element 25 is formed here by the dancer roll 29 and the dancer arm 28.
  • the pre-tensioning of the dancer arm 28 preferred according to the invention is carried out by a spring element 30, which in the exemplary embodiment shown here is designed as a helical tension spring.
  • the thread tension constant 9 provided according to the invention also offers a further control-technical possibility of eliminating a third manipulated variable sight.
  • the thread tension constant 9 can namely have a thread tension sensor.
  • the thread tension measuring signal of the thread tension measuring transducer is then also fed to the controller 10 and the unwind drive 8 is controlled by the controller 10 with further consideration of the thread tension measuring signal.
  • the thread tension measuring sensor is the deflection roller 26 of the dancer arm device mounted on a bending rod or the like. This can be, for example, a bending rod equipped with strain gauge sensors, which is only indicated in the single figure of the drawing.
