Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roll-off device for tape reels, wherein a cross member pivotally mounted in a machine frame on supporting tracks accommodates supporting levers that can be displaced in pairs for one reel, and wherein a spindle that can be driven by a spindle motor has sections of opposite pitch and engages with one section in a spindle nut of a supporting lever.
  • Such a roll-off device for tape reels must be adjustable in the axial direction of the reel in order to be able to splice on a new reel with correct edges and on the other hand to enable precise edge control during processing.
  • roll-off carriages are known which can be moved transversely to the direction of the belt. Unrolling trolleys of this type are necessary for heavy windings, but they are also quite complex.
  • the object of the invention is to integrate the unwinding device into the subsequent processing machine while maintaining the transverse adjustability of the winding.
  • an actuating cylinder is attached to the crossbar and that its piston rod, which is aligned in the axial direction of the crossbar, is coupled to a bearing bush of the spindle.
  • the invention differs from the prior art in that the spindle is used as an actuating rod for common and co-adjustment of the support levers of the unwind.
  • the spindle therefore takes on an additional function. This is made possible by the fact that the spindle is not only rotatably mounted, but is also arranged to be displaceable in the axial direction. This structure is particularly suitable for lighter windings that are directly on the machine frame are manageable.
  • a reliable coupling of the spindle motor to the spindle can be achieved in that the spindle motor is attached to the bearing bush.
  • a stable guidance of the spindle and the same adjustment sensitivities in both adjustment directions can be achieved in that the adjustment cylinder is double-acting and that fork legs are attached to both ends of the piston rod on the bearing bush.
  • a safe driving of the spindle within the bearing bush is achieved in that the spindle is mounted in a double-sided thrust bearing inside the bearing bush.
  • Fig. 1 shows two frame plates 1 and 2 of a processing machine for strips, e.g. a cutting machine, a wrapping machine or the like.
  • the invention relates to the unwinding for this processing machine.
  • a cross member 3 is pivotally mounted on pin 4.
  • a lever arm 5 is wedged onto a pin 4 and is coupled to an actuating cylinder 6 for pivoting the cross member 3.
  • the cross member 3 receives guideways 7. With these guideways 7, guides 8 of paired support levers 9 are engaged, which receive a winding 11 between chucks 10.
  • a drive and / or braking unit 12 is seated on at least one support lever 9.
  • a spindle nut 13 is fixedly arranged on or in each support lever 9. Each spindle nut 13 is in engagement with a spindle section 14 or 15 of a shaft 16.
  • the spindle sections 14 and 15 have opposite slopes, so that when the shaft 16 rotates, the support levers 9 are moved apart or together. This allows a winding 11 to be accommodated between the chucks 10.
  • the shaft 16 is mounted in a bearing bush 17.
  • the bearing bush 17 contains at least one two-sided axial bearing 18, which is shown schematically, details of the bearing shells and running surfaces are omitted.
  • Fork legs 19 are seated on the bearing bush 17, each of which is connected to the ends of a piston rod 20 of a double-acting actuating cylinder 21.
  • the actuating cylinder 21 is seated a console 22 which is firmly connected to the cross member 3.
  • the spindle motor 23 allows the support levers 9 to move in opposite directions for tightening or releasing the winding 11.
  • the actuating cylinder 21 enables the bearing bush 17 and the shaft 16 to be displaced, so that the support levers 9 are accordingly moved in the same direction.
  • the fixed tension of the winding 11 is not affected thereby.
  • This additional movement of the entire unwinding unit from the support lever 9 and the winding 11 transversely to the web running direction enables the web to be edge-adjusted in normal operation and also enables a new winding to be aligned with the edges of the web end of the expired winding during the splicing process.
