Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for automatically changing a full winding roll against a new winding tube in support roller winding machines and a support roller winding machine for carrying out the method.
  • DE-OS 31 51 256 discloses a device which consists of a structural unit which can be pivoted about the axis of one of the support rollers by means of pivoting levers and comprises a stapling and cutting device.
  • the cutting device is an active knife that can be moved across the web width and cuts the web on the winding tube, with the newly formed beginning of the web being stapled or glued to the winding tube.
  • the device for cutting and tacking the web is very complex in terms of construction and takes a relatively long time.
  • GB-A-2 188 911 describes a method for automatically changing a open winding roll against a new winding tube in a carrier roller winding machine for material webs, in which the web is first weakened before reaching the carrier roller, an adhesive is applied to both sides of the weakening and then increased the web train is cut on the support roller due to a braking force.
  • the web ends stick to the surface due to the negative pressure prevailing in the support roller until they have reached the winding roll and stick to it.
  • the newly created web beginnings remain braked during this movement, so that the support roller rotates under the suctioned web start until after unloading the winding rolls and releasing the brake the new web start is transported and glued from the support roll to the winding cores.
  • two support rollers can be provided instead of one.
  • an apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed in this document.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method that can be used in support roller winding machines even when winding heavy paper types (greater than 120 g / m2) for the fastest and most reliable roll change.
  • a further important advantage is that it is possible to equip or retrofit carrier roll winding machines with roll changing devices for light paper types - as described in DE-OS 29 20 707 and DE-OS 29 48 877 - in such a way that they additionally heavy paper types can process.
  • the carrier roller winding machines equipped or retrofitted in this way can thus paper or cardboard webs of the entire Process the basis weight range, whereby the known shorter roll change times of light paper types are almost achieved even when processing heavy paper types.
  • claim 2 contains a particularly advantageous variant of a method according to claim 1, claims 3 to 5 support roller winding machines for carrying out the method according to the invention are claimed.
  • the particularly advantageous embodiment according to claim 5 enables the processing of paper or cardboard webs of the entire basis weight range with very little downtime for a roll change.
  • the carrier roller winding machine has two driven carrier rollers 1, 2, between which a roller bed 3 is formed, in which the winding rollers 4 rest on the carrier rollers 1, 2 during winding.
  • Such double carrier roll winding machines are widely known and z. B. described in DE-OS 32 07 461, so that individual parts, insofar as they do not relate to the invention, are not dealt with.
  • the wrapped support roller 1 is designed as a suction roller, it can be subjected to a vacuum to hold the web 5.
  • a machine-wide support 6 which can be raised and lowered and which has at its upper end a foldable in the direction of the support roller 1, over which Entire working width extending separating knife 7 carries, which can be moved through the gap between the support rollers 1, 2 to the upper gusset between the two support rollers 1, 2 (roller bed 3) and at the same time lowered into a position that does not disturb the winding.
  • rollers 8 are freely rotating and resiliently mounted on the support 6 over the working width in such a way that they abut the circumference of the supporting roller 1 in a position somewhat above the narrowest point between the two supporting rollers 1, 2.
  • a perforating device 10 and two adhesive tape dispensers 11, 12 are arranged on the inlet side, just before the web 5 touches the support roller 1.
  • the perforating device 10 consists of a toothed knife which extends over the working width and which can be moved into the groove of a counter-holder 13 arranged on the other side of the web.
  • the counter-holder 13 has, in addition to the groove, support surfaces for the web 5, so that it cannot deflect when perforating and applying the double-sided adhesive tapes.
  • adhesive tape dispensers 11, 12 for narrow adhesive tapes which are glued across the web 5 are arranged on both sides of the perforating device 10.
  • a large number of adhesive tape dispensers 11.1 are arranged across the working width and release their adhesive tapes in the direction of web travel. This has the advantage that the adhesive tapes can be attached by means of the moving web. The downtime of the winding machine can be further reduced if the tape is applied when the machine is restarted after perforating.
  • an ejection roller 14 is pivotable about the support roller 1 and is freely rotatably mounted on lateral pivot arms 14.1 which can be pivoted about the axis of the support roller 1.
  • the counter-holder 13 can be structurally advantageous attached to the swivel arms 14.1 at the bottom, so that it can be moved against the web 5 by pivoting the ejection roller 14.
  • a sleeve insertion device 15 is attached to the swivel arms 14.1 in the region between the ejection roller 14 and the supporting roller 1, for. B. a sleeve pliers or a sleeve trough with which a set of new sleeves 16 can be inserted into the roller bed 3.
  • the sleeve insertion device 17 can also be fastened in a known manner, separately from the ejection roller 14, to pivot arms 17.1 which can be pivoted about the support roller 2, in order to insert a set of new sleeves 16 into the roller bed 3 via the support roller 2. It is also possible to provide a winding machine with both core insertion devices 15, 17. Then the device 15 pivoting about the support roller 1 is used for inserting sleeves with a small diameter, the device 17 for inserting sleeves with a large diameter.
  • the roll change is carried out as follows: When the winding roll 4 has reached a predetermined web length or a predetermined diameter, the carrier roller winding machine is stopped; ie the drives of the support rollers 1, 2 are braked. The web 5 comes to a standstill under web tension due to the braking force that is applied by the unwinding device, not shown. In the area in front of the wrapped roller 1, two adjacent double-sided adhesive tapes are now applied by the adhesive tape dispensers 11, 12 across the width of the web 5. Simultaneously or immediately afterwards, the material web 5 is weakened with the perforating device 10 over its entire width.
  • the degree of weakening is set depending on the type of material, so that the force required to separate the web 5 is always approximately the same regardless of the type of material.
  • the machine is then started again until the weakened web site with the two adhesive strips 18, 19 is in the roller bed 3, but still below the line of contact of the new sleeves 16 still to be inserted on the support roller 1. There the web 5 is stopped again and the brake on the unwinding device is locked so that the web 5 is retained with maximum force. Likewise, the support 6 is raised so that the rollers 8 hold the web 5 at a short distance below the weakened point on the support roller 1. With this procedure, that is Cutting knife 7 not used, therefore not folded in the direction of the support roller 1.
  • the holding of the web 5 on the support roller 1 can be supported by applying a vacuum.
  • the full winding roll 4 is raised slightly with the ejection roll 14 and the support roller 2 is driven in the direction of arrow 20 counterclockwise. It thus rotates the roller 4 in a clockwise direction (arrow 21), so that a tension is exerted on the weakened web site, which leads to the web 5 being severed at this location.
  • the winding roller 4 is rotated until the adhesive tape 18 located at the end of the web has been forced through the gap between the ejection roller 14 and the winding roller 4, so that the end of the web 5 is firmly connected to the winding roller 4.
  • the ejection roller 14 is then pivoted further in the direction of the support roller 2 and the full winding roller 4 is ejected from the roller bed 3.
  • the support 6 is raised so far that the rollers 8 no longer touch the support roller 1.
  • the web 5 is held exclusively by the negative pressure in the support roller 1 on its surface.
  • the knife 7 swivels in the direction of the support roller 1, a small distance being maintained in order to avoid damage.
  • the web 5 is severed by ejecting the full winding roll 4 via the support roller 2 by means of the ejection roll 14, the separating knife 7 acting as a passive tear-off edge. After the full winding roll 4 has been ejected, the support 6 is lowered again with the separating knife 7 and a set of new sleeves 16 is inserted.
  • Adhesive tapes or traces of glue are attached to the sleeves 16 in a known manner in order to secure the newly created start of the web to them.
  • the winding of the beginning of the web on the sleeves 16 takes place automatically after the pressure roller 22 has been put on when the carrier roller machine is restarted by rotating the two carrier rollers 1, 2.
