Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transporteinrichtung für Spulen und/oder Spulenhülsen, bestehend aus einem in die Spulenhülsen einschiebbaren Spulen­adapter und einem Spulenadapterträger, der zum Abstützen des Spulenadapters einen Anschlagteller mit einem in das untere Ende des Spulenadapters einschiebbaren Dorn aufweist. Eine derartige Trans­porteinrichtung ist in der DE-OS 38 02 900 beschrieben.The invention relates to a transport device for coils and / or coil sleeves, consisting of a coil adapter that can be inserted into the coil sleeves and a coil adapter carrier that has a stop plate with a mandrel that can be inserted into the lower end of the coil adapter to support the coil adapter. Such a transport device is described in DE-OS 38 02 900.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine derartige Transporteinrichtung so zu gestalten, daß dann, wenn ein Spulenadapter von dem Spulen­adapterträger übernommen wird, diese in vorbestimmter Winkellage relativ zueinander posi­tioniert sind. Eine derartige Positionierung des Spulenadapters mit den darauf aufgesteckten Spulen oder Spulenhülsen ist dann erwünscht, wenn an dem Spulenadapter und/oder den Spulen und/oder den Spulenhülsen irgendwelche Wartungs- oder Vorbe­reitungsarbeiten mittels mechanischer Mittel durch­geführt werden sollen, die beispielsweise auto­matisch an dem auf den Spulenadapterträger aufge­steckten Spulenadapter herangeführt werden.The invention has for its object a to design such transport device so that when a coil adapter is taken over by the coil adapter carrier, they are positioned in a predetermined angular position relative to one another. Such positioning of the coil adapter with the coils or coil sleeves attached to it is desirable if any maintenance or preparation work is to be carried out on the coil adapter and / or the coils and / or the coil sleeves by mechanical means, for example automatically on the on the coil adapter carrier attached coil adapter.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Patentanspruch 2 behandelt eine vorteilhafte entsprechende Ausgestaltung des Spulenadapters. Anspruch 3 behandelt Merkmale, um bei einem mit den Mitteln gemäß dem Patentan­spruch 1 positionierten und zentrierten Spulen­adapter Fadenenden von auf den Spulenadapter auf­gesteckten, voll bewickelten Spulen in eine für die weitere Handhabung der Spulen geeignete Lage zu bringen und in dieser Lage festzuhalten.The features of claim 1 serve to solve this problem. Claim 2 deals with an advantageous corresponding embodiment of the coil adapter. Claim 3 deals with features in order to bring the thread ends of the fully wound bobbins plugged onto the bobbin adapter into a position suitable for the further handling of the bobbins and to hold them in this position when the bobbin adapter is positioned and centered with the means according to claim 1.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische, teilweise im Schnitt dargestellte Ansicht eines Spulenadapters mit zugeordneten Spulenadapterträger;
  • Fig. 2 eine aus Spulenadapter und zwei Spulen bestehende Spuleneinheit;
  • Fig. 3 in vergrößerter Darstellung einen Axial­schnitt des oberen Endes des Spulenadapters und
  • Fig. 4 eine Ansicht gemäß Linie IV in Fig. 3.
The invention is described below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic, partially in section view of a coil adapter with associated coil adapter carrier.
  • 2 shows a coil unit consisting of a coil adapter and two coils;
  • Fig. 3 in an enlarged view an axial section of the upper end of the coil adapter and
  • 4 is a view along line IV in FIG. 3rd

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Spulenadapter 5, der beispiels­weise an einen üblichen Spulenhängehalter 8 ange­hängt ist. Der Spulenadapter 5 dient zur Bildung von Spuleneinheiten 9, die den Spulenadapter 5 und mindestens eine voll gewickelte Spule 10 umfassen. Der Spulenadapter ist sowohl als Trans­portadapter als auch Arbeitsadapter im Bereich von weiterverarbeitenden Maschinen geeignet.Fig. 1 shows a coil adapter 5, which is attached to a conventional coil hanger 8, for example. The coil adapter 5 is used to form coil units 9, which comprise the coil adapter 5 and at least one fully wound coil 10. The coil adapter is suitable both as a transport adapter and as a work adapter in the area of further processing machines.

Der Spulenadapter 5 ist an seinem unteren Ende an seiner Innenseite mit schräg- und/oder spiral­förmig verlaufenden Führungsflächen 6 und einer nach unten offenen Einrastnut 7 versehen. An dem unteren Ende des Spulenadapters 5 ist ein radial nach außen vorspringender Aufsetzflansch für Spulen bzw. Spulenkerne angebracht.At its lower end, the coil adapter 5 is provided on its inside with oblique and / or spiral guide surfaces 6 and a latching groove 7 which is open at the bottom. At the lower end of the coil adapter 5, a radially outwardly projecting attachment flange for coils or coil cores is attached.

Der Spulenadapterträger 1 besteht aus einem Anschlagteller 2 mit einem in das untere Ende des Spulenadapters 5 einschiebbaren Dorn, der ein Positionierelement in Form eines vorzugsweise radial gerichteten Positionierstiftes 4 aufweist.The coil adapter carrier 1 consists of a stop plate 2 with a mandrel which can be pushed into the lower end of the coil adapter 5 and which has a positioning element in the form of a preferably radially directed positioning pin 4.

Beim Einschieben des Dornes 3 in den Spulenadapter wird durch Zusammenwirken der Führungsflächen 6 mit dem Positionierstift 4 der Spulenadapter in Richtung der Pfeile f1 bzw. f2 verdreht, bis der Positionierstift 4 in die Einrastnut 7 ein­rastet. Dadurch wird beim Einfahren des Dornes 3 in den Spulenadpater 5 eine bestimmte Relativ­position zwischen dem Spulenadapter 5 und Dorn 3 bzw. dem Spulenadapterträger 1 erreicht.When the mandrel 3 is inserted into the coil adapter, the coil adapter is rotated in the direction of the arrows f1 or f2 by the interaction of the guide surfaces 6 with the positioning pin 4 until the positioning pin 4 engages in the latching groove 7. As a result, a certain relative position between the coil adapter 5 and mandrel 3 or the coil adapter carrier 1 is achieved when the mandrel 3 is moved into the coil adapter 5.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist der Spulenadapterträger 1 an einem in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles f3 auf- und abbeweg­baren Hubelementes 11 befestigt. Um den Spulen­adapterträger 1 je nach den Gegebenheiten in eine bestimmte Drehposition zu bringen, ist an dem Hubelement 11 ein Antriebsaggregat 12 mit einer Antriebsscheibe 13 und einem Antriebssriemen 14 zum rotierenden Antrieb des Spulenadapterträgers 1 befestigt.2, the coil adapter carrier 1 is fastened to a lifting element 11 which can be moved up and down in the direction of the double arrow f3. In order to bring the coil adapter carrier 1 into a specific rotational position, depending on the circumstances, a drive unit 12 with a drive pulley 13 and a drive belt 14 for rotatingly driving the coil adapter carrier 1 is fastened to the lifting element 11.

Am oberen Ende des Spulenadapters 5 ist eine erste Öffnung 15 angebracht, an die sich ein in Umfangs­richtung über einen vorgegebenen Umfangswinkel geführter Fadenleitkanal 16 anschließt, der zu einer zweiten Öffnung 17 führt. Die Öffnung 17 dient zum Ansetzen einer Saugdüse 23. Wenn diese Saugdüse mit Saugluft beaufschlagt wird, werden an die erste Öffnung 15 herangeführte Fadenenden durch den Fadenleitkanal in den Saugkanal 19 der Saugdüse 18 eingesaugt. Damit besteht die Möglichkeit, schon vorbereitend nach dem Aufstecken von voll gewickelten Spulen 10 auf dem Spulenadapter die von diesen Spulen kommenden Fäden f1 und/oder F2 an definierten Stellen abzulegen und festzu­halten, wodurch anschließende, insbesondere auto­matisierte Arbeitsgänge, insbesondere das Aufsuchen und Ergreifen der Fäden, erleichtert wird. Nach Abstellen der im Bereich der Saugdüse 18 wirksamen Saugluft wird die Saugdüse wieder von dem Spulenadapter 5 weggestellt, so daß dann die Fadenenden aus der Austrittsöffnung 17 heraus­hängen, vorzugsweise mit definierten, gleichmäßigen Fadenlängen, wenn der Saugdüse eine nicht darge­stellte Schneideinrichtung zugeordnet ist.At the upper end of the bobbin adapter 5 there is a first opening 15 which is adjoined by a thread guide channel 16 which extends in the circumferential direction over a predetermined circumferential angle and leads to a second opening 17. The opening 17 is used to attach a suction nozzle 23. When suction air is applied to this suction nozzle, thread ends brought up to the first opening 15 are sucked through the thread guide channel into the suction channel 19 of the suction nozzle 18. There is thus the possibility, already preparatively after the fully wound bobbins 10 have been placed on the bobbin adapter, of depositing and holding the threads f1 and / or F2 coming from these bobbins at defined locations, as a result of which subsequent, in particular automated, operations, in particular locating and grasping the threads , is relieved. After switching off the effective suction air in the area of the suction nozzle 18, the suction nozzle is again put away from the bobbin adapter 5, so that the thread ends hang out of the outlet opening 17, preferably with defined, uniform thread lengths, if a cutting device, not shown, is assigned to the suction nozzle.

Die obere zentrale Öffnung des Spulenadapters 5 ist vorzugsweise so gestaltet, daß sie zur Aufnahme und Halterung von Aufsatzkörpern, z.B. Avivage­behältern, Achsen für Ablaufhilfsmitteln oder Zwirnflügelnaben und dergleichen geeignet ist.The upper central opening of the coil adapter 5 is preferably designed so that it can be used for receiving and holding attachment bodies, e.g. Aviva containers, axles for drainage aids or twisted wing hubs and the like is suitable.

Der Spulenadapter 5 ist weiterhin vorzugsweise mit geeigneten Informationsträgern versehen, die mittels geeigneter Ableseeinrichtungen ablesbare Daten enthalten, beispielsweise über die Art der auf den Spulenadapter aufgesteckten Spulen, den Bestimmungsort des Spulenadapters bzw. Spulen­transportadapters und dergleichen.The coil adapter 5 is furthermore preferably provided with suitable information carriers which contain data which can be read by means of suitable reading devices, for example about the type of coils plugged onto the coil adapter, the destination of the coil adapter or coil transport adapter and the like.
