Description
- The present invention relates to a programmable self-adjusting device for tensioning wires during winding.
- As is known, in the operations for winding electromechanical components, such as for example relays, transformers, solenoids and the like, it is necessary that the force which acts on the wire being wound be kept as constant as possible during the entire process; that is to say, the tension, i.e. the value in grams of the applied force with which the wire being wound is kept tensioned, must be kept constant.
- The tension or gram force varies according to the diameter of the various wires and as a function of the winding characteristics to be obtained.
- Transient phenomena furthermore occur during the winding process, due to the accelerations and decelerations of the winding machine and to other unforeseeable phenomena intrinsic to the characteristics of the wire being wound, which create tension changes which must necessarily be compensated.
- Wire tensioning devices are currently used in order to keep the tension constant; their function is to return the value of the wire tension within set margins, to avoid incorrect windings or breakages of the wire.
- The most common wire tensioning devices are currently of the mechanical type, i.e. are constituted by arms compensated by adjustable springs which, according to their position, interact with friction braking systems which act on the wire being wound.
- This kind of wire tensioning device has the disadvantage of having very high variability as regards the values of the set adjustment as the speed varies, and furthermore creates a considerable limit to the advancement speed of the wire, beyond which adjustment is no longer practically possible.
- Another disadvantage of said tensioning devices is constituted by the fact that high deviations of the gram forces occur during the transient periods of acceleration and deceleration of the machine, together with non-uniformity of the set values during work shifts due to the heating of the mechanical braking parts.
- Adjustments must furthermore be performed with additional tools, without having an immediate automatic control of the cram force values of the wire during the winding steps.
- To the above it should be furthermore added that the above used systems require considerable maintenance interventions, especially as regards the mechanical braking parts.
- Yet another known system with mechanical brake means, as defined in the precharacterizing portion of claim 1, is known from DE-A-3 536 363. This known system is also subject to the shortcoming set forth hereinbefore.
- In order to try to obviate these disadvantages electromagnetic braking systems have already been introduced, such as that of GB-A-2137237, which in practice are constituted by a mechanical arm associated with an electronic transducer for sensing the braking gram force of the wire which, though it provides a theoretically correct system, is currently incapable of being sufficiently accurate.
- The aim of the invention is indeed to solve the above described problems by providing a programmable self-adjusting device for tensioning wires during winding, which allows continuous real-time control of the gram force values, thus allowing in each instance to instantaneously provide the related adjustment, thus obtaining tension values which are always constant and accurate.
- Within the scope of the above described aim, a particular object of the invention is to provide an automatic device in which all the elements which produce mechanical friction by sliding are eliminated, thus obtaining, besides greater precision in operation, a drastic reduction in maintenance operations.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a self-adjusting device which allows to continuously adjust the set gram forces according to the contingent winding requirements and which furthermore offers considerable repeatability of the results even in different moments and on different machines.
- Not least object of the present invention is to provide a self-adjusting device which is easily obtainable starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and which is furthermore competitive from a merely economical point of view.
- This aim, the objects mentioned and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by a programmable self-adjusting device for tensioning wires during winding, as defined in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a programmable self-adjusting device for tensioning wires during winding, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the device;
- figure 2 is a front view of the device;
- figure 3 is a partially sectional lateral elevation view of the device.
- With reference to the above figures, the programmable self-adjusting device according to the invention, which can for example be associated with a winding machine but could be connected to other devices, has a box-like containment casing generally indicated by the reference numeral 1.
- The device according to the invention has, in the direction of advancement of the
wire 2 to be wound, apre-braking element 3 associated with the lower part of the body 1 which has the function of creating a force which is sufficient to tighten the loop of wire around a brake pulley indicated by 4 which is rotatably supported by the casing 1 and is connected to a constant-torque electromagnetichysteresis rotating brake 5; the wire is wound on thebrake pulley 4 for at least-an angle of 360° or possibly for a greater angle. - At the exit from the
brake pulley 4, thewire 2 winds on atransmission roller 7 which has its axis perpendicular to the axis of thepulley 4 and is supported by a compensatingarm 10 which will be described in greater detail hereinafter. - At the exit from the
transmission roller 7, thewire 2 engages a wiretension sensing unit 11 which is constituted by anentry abutment roller 12 and by anbit abutment roller 13 which have their axes mutually spaced and parallel, between which afeeler roller 14 is provided; theroller 14 is supported by asupport 15 which acts on a load cell, generally indicated by thereference numeral 16, which has the function of continuously sensing the tension on thewire 2. - The
load cell 16 is connected to a control unit, generally indicated by 20, advantageously of the electronic type, on which the braking values of thehysteresis rotating brake 5 can be set. Thecontrol unit 20 handles the signals arriving from theload cell 16 so as to modulate the braking of thebrake 5 in accordance with the occurrence of transient phenomena. - The
control unit 20 thus ensures perfect control between the signals generated by theload cell 16, which performs the measurements of the actual gram force of thewire 2, and the drive of thebrake 5 which is preset to give the required gram force both in dynamic conditions, i.e. during the winding process, and in static conditions, i.e. the minimum assured residual gram force at the end of the winding process. - The compensating
arm 10 is also operatively associated with thecontrol unit 20 and has the function of keeping thewire 2 tensioned when the winding machine is stopped, or of tensioning or de-tensioning thewire 2 according to the requirements. - Advantageously, the compensating arm, which has been previously generally indicated by the
reference numeral 10, has arod 51 which supports thetransmission roller 7 and is connected to ahub 52 on which afeeler piston 53 is eccentrically articulated and interacts with an elastic adjustment unit generally indicated by thereference numeral 54. - The
elastic adjustment unit 54 has acontainment body 55 with acavity 56 in which abiasing piston 57, on which thepiston 53 acts, is slidable. - A
pusher spring 58 accommodated in thecavity 56 acts on thebiasing piston 57 and can be adjusted by means of aslider 60 which engages around a threadedpin 61 which is rotatable so as to move theslider 60. - The threaded
pin 61 is rotated by means of anelectric motor 65 connected, by means of atoothed belt 66, to asmall pinion 67 which is keyed on the threadedpin 61 so as to rotate said pin and consequently move theslider 60 to set the elastic adjustment of thespring 58. - A
second spring 70 is furthermore provided and is arranged operatively in series with respect to thefirst spring 58 and is used for greater setting values. - An
encoder 80 is furthermore connected to thehub 52 and constantly senses the position of the compensating arm, thus allowing its precise control. - The compensating
arm 10, as described, has the advantage that it can be adjusted automatically, by varying the setting of the adjustment values, even during the steps of unreeling thewire 2 for winding. - In practical operation, during the winding steps, the
wire 2, which is pre-tensioned by thepre-braking device 3, winds onto thebrake pulley 4 and, after passing on thetransmission roller 7, engages thetension sensing unit 11 which, by continuously controlling the actual tension on the wire at the exit of the device, allows to drive thebrake pulley 5 so as to have, even during transient instants, always the same tension on thewire 2 regardless of the operating speed of the machine and of any unevenness of the wire. - As already mentioned earlier, the compensating
arm 10 has in practice the auxiliary function of keeping thewire 2 tensioned when the machine is at rest, so as to prevent it from disengaging from thebrake pulley 5, and furthermore has the function of creating further variations if a further tensioning or de-tensioning of the wire is required during the winding steps. - From what has been described above it can thus be seen that the invention achieves the proposed aim and objects, and in particular the fact is stressed that the use of an
electromagnetic hysteresis brake 5 driven directly by aunit 11 which senses the tension of thewire 2 at the exit, allows first of all to always have an extremely precise adjustment of the tension and secondly not to be subject to wear and maintenance. - Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
