Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for packaging and dispensing of cables and in particular to such a method and apparatus in which the cable is wound onto a former.
  • the cable pack is placed in an inverted position and the original or replacement core must be at least partially separated from the packed cable to provide a clearance opening through which cable may be drawn.
  • cable is wound onto a heavy frusto-conical steel former 100.
  • an empty former is located between a third station 156 and a first station 152.
  • a layer of corrugated paper or card is wrapped around the inclined surfaces of the former 100 and the former is then moved by a conveyor 120 in the direction A to the first station 152 where a flange plate 116 is attached to the top of the former.
  • the steel former 100 is then moved along path B on the conveyor system to a second station 154 where winding is effected by a rotating cable guide as shown in Figure 2A.
  • the cable guide comprises a heavy cowl 104 which is disposed over the former 100 and at the lower edge of which is a guide wheel 102. Cable is fed into the top of the cowl 104 from a remote supply, and directed over the guide wheel 102 and onto the former 100.
  • the rotating cowl 104 is driven by an electric motor 106 connected to it through a reduction gearing, and the cowl is raised and lowered during winding by a large hydraulic cylinder 106 so as to wind the cable onto the former in layers.
  • the flange plate 116 has a number of radial slots to allow the banding machine to feed the nylon banding down between the inclined surface of the former and the layer of corrugated card.
  • the first station 152 generally has only a single banding machine and is provided with means for rotating the former 100 to successively align the radial slots in the flange plate 116 with the banding machine.
  • the flange plate is removed and the former is transferred along path D to the third station 156 where it is inverted and lifted out of the banded cable pack 112, as shown in fig. 2B.
  • the cable pack is then removed from underneath the raised former and transported along path E to a fourth station 158 whilst the former is lowered, re-inverted and returned in the direction A to start the next cycle.
  • the cable pack then travels back along path F to the third station 156 where a flat pallet 114 is placed on top of it and the assembly of pallet and cable is inverted so that the cable sits on top of the pallet as shown in fig. 2C.
  • the cable and pallet then returns along a path G to a station 158 where the cable is tested for electrical continuity and then along a path H to a packaging station 160 where both cable and pallet are wrapped in plastics material.
  • the wrapped cable and pallet packs travel from the packaging station 160 along path I to a final process station 162 where heat is applied to shrink the wrapping around the cable and pallet.
  • the shrink-wrapped cable packs are then ready for dispatch.
  • a folding umbrella-like device is used to retain the pack shape and prevent the pack collapsing or loops of wire becoming tangled, while the cable is being uncoiled from the pack.
  • the device is inserted into the centre of the pack in a folded state and then opened up to engage the inside of the pack.
  • a number of ribs carried by linkages from a central support are moved outwardly from this support to engage the inside of the cable pack and support the cable.
  • a radial arm is mounted on a bearing at the top of the support device and carries an eye at its outer end through which the cable is passed. The arm rotates as the cable is drawn from the pack and prevents the wire that is being drawn off from catching and dislodging the top edge of the pack whilst the umbrella-like support device prevents the pack collapsing inwardly.
  • the empty flat pallets may simply be stacked, taking up little space whilst awaiting return to the packaging plant for re-use.
  • a method for supplying electric cable comprising the steps of providing a rigid self-supporting former comprising a frusto-conical body attached to a pallet winding electrical cable about the frusto-conical body to form a cable pack comprising the former and the body of cable wound thereon, and holding a flange plate against one end of the frusto-conical body during winding of the electrical cable transporting the cable pack to a site of intended use; and dispensing cable from the cable pack, characterized in that the cable is wound about the frusto-conical body in substantially uniform layers to form a frusto-conical body of cable, the former is provided with the smaller diameter end of the frusto-conical body uppermost during the steps of winding and dispensing of the cable, the body of cable is secured to the former by securing means, such as banding or plastics wrapping, so that the cable will not unwind from the former during transportation and storage of the cable pack; and the cable is
  • apparatus for packaging and dispensing of electric cable comprising a supply of formers, each former comprising a frusto-conical body attached at its larger diameter end to a respective pallet, means for transporting a former from the supply to a first process station, the said first process station operable to receive and hold the former with the smaller diameter end of the frusto-conical body uppermost and further comprising means operable to wind electrical cable about the body in substantially uniform layers to provide a frusto-conical body of wound cable, and a flange plate removably located against the smaller diameter end of the body of the former during winding of cable thereon, means for transporting the former with cable wound thereon from the first process station to a second process station, the said second process station comprising means operable to secure the body of wound cable on the former by securing means, such as banding or wrapping in plastics material, with the smaller diameter end of the frusto-conical body of the former uppermost, such that the cable will not
  • the flange plate held against the upper, reduced diameter, end of the former acts in combination with the pallet to prevent the cable slipping off of the frusto-conical body during the winding operation.
  • the plate may be a free body attached to the former prior to the winding operation. In such a case, clamping means may be provided to releasably secure the plate to the former during winding. Where the plate is a free body, plate lifting means operable to locate the plate against one end of the former and remove it therefrom may be provided.
  • the apparatus may preferably include a conveyor system to move empty formers from the supply into position relative to the first process station and, when winding is complete, to move the filled formers to the second station where the body of wound cable is secured on the former.
  • Clamping devices such as pivoted catches actuated by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, may be provided to releasably hold the former in position at each process station.
  • the second station may comprise apparatus for wrapping the cable and the former onto which it is wound in wrapping material, for example paper, hessian or plastics material.
  • wrapping material may be a heat shrinkable plastics material, in which case, the wrapped cable-former packs may then be transported to a third station where they are heat-treated to shrink wrap the plastics material around the cable and former. The completed packs may then be stored awaiting delivery.
  • a cable pack comprising a former with a length of electrical cable wound thereon, the former comprising a frusto-conical body about which the cable is wound and a pallet to which the frusto-conical body is attached, characterized by securing means, such as banding or plastics wrapping, securing the body of cable to the former and preventing unwinding of the cable from about the frusto-conical body during transportation of the cable pack and in that the frusto-conical body has its smaller diameter end uppermost and its larger diameter end attached to the pallet, and in that the cable is wound about the frusto-conical body in substantially uniform layers to provide a frusto-conical body of cable having its smaller diameter end upwards and its larger diameter end supported by the pallet.
  • securing means such as banding or plastics wrapping
  • the former of the cable pack may have a frusto-conical recess in the base of the pallet corresponding in profile to the frusto-conical body. This would allow the nesting of such formers when empty, in addition to reducing the overall weight of the former.
  • the frusto-conical body may be a plastics moulding secured to the deck of a wooden pallet.
  • the pallet and frusto-conical body may be formed as a unitary moulding of plastics material.
  • Such a lightweight stackable former would be used in combination with the cable packaging apparatus of the present invention, to provide a method of packing cables having fewer and simpler process steps than at present, and to produce cable packs which do not require a customer to provide specialised pack supports.
  • FIG. 3 A preferred embodiment of the cable packing process of the present invention is illustrated in figures 3, 4 and 5.
  • the assembly 20, mounted on a support framework 22 over the conveyor system 12, comprises a guide arm 24 mounted at the lower end of a centre shaft 32 and rotatable about the clamped former 10.
  • An electric motor 26 on a supporting yoke 27 is attached to the centre shaft 32 by bearing collars 25 at the upper and lower ends of the supporting yoke 27. Rotation of the centre shaft 32 and guide arm 24 is provided by the electric motor 26 through a belt drive 31 to the shaft.
  • a traverse unit 28 rigidly attached to the supporting framework 22 raises and lowers the centre shaft 32, guide arm 24, motor 26 and supporting yoke 27 during winding to provide an even spread of cable across the former 10.
  • the traverse unit 28 is a "rolling-ring" unit of the type described in United Kingdom Patent No.
  • the traverse unit 28 comprises a number of ring shaped roller bodies at an angle to each other and to the centre shaft 32.
  • the inner surface of each roller body engages the surface of the centre shaft 32 and converts the rotary motion of the shaft into axial motion.
  • a lever and linkage system alters the angle of inclination of each roller body such that the direction of imparted axial motion is reversed. Actuation of the lever and linkage system is achieved by adjustable stops 49 on the yoke 27. As the yoke 27, motor 26 and shaft 32 are raised to their upper position by the traverse unit 28, the lever and linkage system is acutated by the lower stop 49A on the yoke 27.
  • the yoke 27, motor 26 and shaft 32 are then lowered under control of the traverse unit 28 until the upper stop 49B is encountered which again reverses the direction of motion.
  • the motor 26 and yoke 27 are connected via a cable and pulley assembly 29 to a counter weight (not shown) which relieves the load on the transverse unit 28.
  • the cable to be wound is supplied from an external source such as a stock reel or directly from the cable manufacturing plant.
  • the supplied cable runs over a guide wheel 30, rotatably mounted on the support framework 22, and down through the hollow rotating centre shaft 32 at the lower end of which the guide arm 24 is mounted.
  • a number of small guide wheels 34 rotatably mounted on the guide arm 24 direct the cable to the lower end of the guide arm 24 from which it is wound directly onto the former 10.
  • a removable annular plate 36 is provided.
  • the plate 36 When the empty former 10 is clamped in position, the plate 36 is lowered to rest on top of the former. During the winding operation, the plate 36 acts as a flange of the former 10, to prevent cable from slipping over the top of the former.
  • the plate 36 is lowered and raised by three lifting levers 21, each of which is pivotably mounted on the support framework 22 and operated by a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 23.
  • the plate 36 is held in position, on top of the former 10, by a clamping mechanism 38 mounted on a vertically extending hydraulic or pneumatic main piston 39.
  • the cylinder in which the piston 39 moves is positioned below the conveyor 12. With no former positioned beneath the rotating and traverse cable guide assembly 20, the piston 39 is retracted in its cylinder so that the clamping mechanism 38 is held in a retracted position (not shown) with its uppermost part 41 below the level of the conveyor 12.
  • the main piston 39 is extended to raise the uppermost part 41 of the clamping mechanism 38 through an opening in the conveyor 12 and through aligned central apertures in the former 10 and in the plate 36.
  • FIG. 5 represents a sectional view through a former 10 with the clamping mechanism 38 holding the plate 36 against the top of the former.
  • the clamping mechanism 38 has three radially extendable latch members 45 controlled to move in unison from an unlocking position, where they do not extend beyond the periphery of the uppermost part 41, to a locking position, as shown, where they overlap the periphery of the aperture 52 in the plate 36.
  • Each of the latch members 45 is eccentrically mounted on a gear wheel 53, the latch member 45 and gear wheel 53 being rotatable about a gear axis 53A.
  • Each of the gear wheels 53 engages a central drive gear 54 rotatable about the axis 54A of the clamping mechanism 38.
  • Rotation of the gear 54 which moves the latch members 45 to the locking or unlocking position, is effected by a horizontal cylinder 55 which is attached by a pivotal joint 56 to the drive gear 54 at a point offset from the axis 54A thereof.
  • the plate 36 is mounted on a shaft 58 which passes down the centre of the rotating tubular centre shaft 32 and extends from its lower end.
  • the shaft 58 can slide axially relative to the shaft 32 so that the plate 36 remains in position against the top of the former 10 as the guide arm 24 is raised and lowered.
  • a bearing 59 at the joint of the plate 36 and shaft 58 allows the plate 36 to remain stationary whilst the shaft 58 rotates with the centre shaft 32.
  • the shaft 38 may be raised and lowered to raise and lower the plate 36 at the beginning and end of the winding cycle by a hydraulic or pneumatic piston and cylinder (not shown) coupled to its upper end.
  • the plate 36 is then lifted from the top of the former 10 and the clamping plates 16 are pivoted to disengage from its base portion.
  • the former 10 with cable wound onto it is then moved along the conveyor system 12 on a path K.
  • the cable, extending from the guide arm 24 to the former 10 is cut by a shearing device 37 mounted on the support framework 22.
  • the severed end of the cable on the former 10 and the other end (arranged to protrude from the packed cable) are bared and the cable is then tested for electrical continuity at a test stage 35. If the test result is satisfactory the free ends of the cable are tucked into the body of the cable and the former with cable wound onto it, as shown in figure 6, is moved along path L on the conveyor system 12 to another station 43 where the former 10 and body of cable 44 are wrapped in plastics packing material.
  • the wrapped cable/former units are then transported along path M to a final process station 47 where they are heat treated to shrink the plastics material thereby retaining the cable on the former.
  • a final process station 47 where they are heat treated to shrink the plastics material thereby retaining the cable on the former.
  • the next former 10 is moved into position from the supply 11 along path J and clamped to undergo the winding stage of the process at the winding station 14.
  • the former 10 used in the above winding apparatus is preferably of the type shown in figures 5 to 8.
  • the former 10 comprises a flat wooden pallet 40 with a frusto-conical body 42 of plastics material onto which the cable is wound.
  • the pallet 40 is of a size and construction to permit handling by standard fork-lift apparatus with a plywood deck 50 and wooden bearers 51.
  • grooves 46 which extend tangentially from the base of the frusto-conical body 42 to the edge of the pallet 40.
  • the cable stretches from the outside of he previously wound cable pack 44 to the empty former where it will form the new cable pack.
  • the cable lies in one of the grooves 46 in the upper surface of the pallet such that it is readily accessible for the electrical continuity test on completion of winding.
  • the provision of the grooves 46 means that the weight of the body of wound cable is not testing on the free end of the cable which may result in damage at the free end leading to failure of the continuity test.
  • the grooves run tangentially from the base of the conical former at such an angle that the groove is aligned with the straight run of cable between the pack at the testing station and the pack at the winding station. This run of cable is cut after a few turns have been wound on the new former at the winding station.
  • the deck of the pallet 40 has a circular opening and the underside of the frusto-conical body follows so that formers 10a, 10b, 10c may be nested when empty, as shown in Figure 8, without the frusto-conical body 42b of one former 10b, becoming jammed in the opening of the former 10a stacked on top of it.
  • the conical body and the grooved surface of the pallet may be formed as a uniatry moulding from plastics material and then secured to the plywood deck by nails, glue or other suitable means.
  • the cable packaging apparatus described above together with its method of use, provides a more efficient and economic packing system than currently known and used methods. This occurs as a result of the reduction in the number of process stages, together wth rationalisation of the process by ensuring that each pallet only vists each process station once during the packaging operation.
  • the former of the cable pack of the present invention also provides a number of benefits.
  • the shape of the packed cable is maintained when the external packaging (shrink-wrapping or banding) is removed, thereby reducing problems of knotting or tangling of cable and removing the necessity for customers to install specialised apparatus for storing the cable.
  • the former is a lightweight structure which may be easily and compactly stacked when empty, thereby reducing transport and storage costs.
