Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device in a machine for winding wire-like goods, such as a cable, on a flanged reel according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • wire-like goods refers to all kinds of long narrow continuous objects which can be wound on a reel, such as cables, conductors, threads and fibres, mostly products used in the production of electrical cables and data transmission conductors.
  • cables such as cables, conductors, threads and fibres
  • the invention will be described below with reference to a cable.
  • a cable When a cable is wound on a reel or drum, it is guided by a guiding device so that the cable is positioned between the flanges of the reel in superimposed layers each consisting of a number of adjacent cable turns.
  • a drawback of such a method is that the cable is positioned spirally with air spaces between parallel flanges, as a result of which the reel will be filled increasingly irregularly during the reeling in the vicinity of the flanges, where the cable can slide down into the air spaces and spoil the regular winding process, so that the reel is not filled in the best possible way and the cable is liable to mechanical damage.
  • the cable is unwound during a subsequent production process, it is again possible that mechanical damages occur as the cable may get wedged or overlap in the vicinity of the flanges.
  • the cable distribution obtained by this winding process is such that the cable turns are parallel with the flange of the reel and S-shaped transitions are formed between adjacent cable turns.
  • the cable to be wound forms a backward deviation angle with respect to the axis of the reel during the winding.
  • a drawback is that the cable to be wound tends to climb up on adjacent cable turns, particularly at the S-shaped transitions, where the backward deviation angle of the cable to be wound increases temporarily.
  • the problem is worst with objects consisting of material having a high coefficient of friction, such as electrically insulated rubber cables or rubber hoses. The problem is even worse with large deviation angles.
  • a major drawback is, however, that if the cable to be wound some time inadvertently climbs up on adjacent cable turns, due to irregularities in the cable dimensions, a high coefficient of friction with respect to the backward deviation angle, etc., the winding direction in the winding machine is reversed as the winding machine attempts to keep the deviation angle constant.
  • Winding machines of this type are unsuitable and complicated and damage the cable, in addition to which they spoil the regular winding process if the cable layer on the reel rises more than one cable thickness in the vicinity of the reel flanges on account of irregularities commonly occurring in the winding process.
  • U.S. Patent Specification No. 3544035 describes an apparatus for coiling welding wire on a flanged reel.
  • the apparatus comprises a support frame for supporting the reel rotatably about its axis, a distributor for guiding the wire onto the reel to form superimposed layers of wire turns wound adjacent to each other between the flanges of the reel.
  • the support frame and its distributor are displaceable with respect to each other so that the wire is wound on the reel at a deviation angle with respect to adjacent cable turns.
  • the distributor is displaced with respect to the reel with a varying speed depending on the inclination of a guide bar by a control loop which operates to tend to maintain the inclination of the guide bar at a desired value.
  • U.S. Patent Specification No. 3833184 discloses apparatus for winding a cable or the like on a flanged reel which is rotated about its axis whilst the cable or the like is guided onto the reel by a traversing guide or distributor.
  • the guide includes hold-down means in the form of a shoe which engages the cable or the like where the latter meets the hub of the reel or the already coiled cable thereon.
  • the hold-down means includes an arm one end of which is pivotally mounted on a traversing support which also carries guide means through which the cable passes.
  • the guide shoe is pivotally mounted on the other end of the arm, and has a longitudinal channel which receives the cable or the like.
  • the apparatus operates in such a way that the distributor is displaced relative to the reel as the cable is wound on the reel so that cable is wound on the reel at a backward deviation angle and with S-shaped transitions between the cable turns.
  • a sensor or angle detector senses the angle of the guide shoe with respect to the arm.
  • the mechanism for traversing the support incorporates a control loop such as to tend to prevent the angle between the guide and the hold down arm from increasing beyond a pre-set value. Accordingly, the traverser is displaced with respect to the reel with a varying speed.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device in a winding machine which avoids the above-mentioned drawbacks, enables cable turns to be wound closely together while the wire-like goods to be wound is prevented from inadvertently climbing up on adjacent cable turns, and ensures controlled movement in the vicinity of the reel flanges.
  • the invention is based on the idea that instead of aiming at keeping the backward deviation angle of the goods to be wound, such as a cable, at a constant value between the reel flanges by positive control throughout the winding process, the deviation angle is allowed to vary when the cable forms S-shaped transitions while nevertheless all the time keeping the angle backwardly directed when the cable advances towards the reel flange.
  • the cable to be wound is prevented from climbing on adjacent cable turns by means of a hold-down means which rests gently upon the cable at the reel contacting point of the cable and which is lifted up by the cable in the vicinity of the reel flange when the cable starts a new layer.
  • the word gently means that the cable is not forcefully pressed from above and from the side by the hold-down means in order to force it to follow the course of the S-shaped transition of the preceding cable turn, but the cable is allowed to form the S-shaped transitions by itself; if the cable is rigid, the transitions can be allowed to be evened out to some extent.
  • the gentle pressing of the hold-down means is sufficient to prevent the climbing of the cable even close to the reel flanges.
  • the main elements of the winding machine shown in Figure 1 include a support frame 1 for supporting a reel 2 and a distributor 3 for passing a cable 4 on the reel.
  • the support frame is provided with wheels and is displaceable in the axial direction of the reel by means of a machinery not shown, whereas the distributor is mounted stationary.
  • the distributor is provided with an arm 5 mounted pivotally in the vertical plane.
  • the outer end of the arm is provided with a rotatably mounted hold-down roll 6.
  • a detector 7 is attached to the roll.
  • a hold-down cylinder 8 is positioned between the arm and the frame of the distributor.
  • a guiding device 9 for the cable is mounted upon the distributor.
  • the cable is wound on the reel by continuously rotating the reel while displacing it in its axial direction with respect to the distributor. In this way the cable forms superimposed cable layers, each consisting of a number of adjacent cable turns 10 having S-shaped transitions 11 between them. In the vicinity of the flanges 12 of the reel the direction of displacement of the reel is reversed.
  • the cable is guided by the guiding means 9 in such a manner with respect to its reel contacting point 13 that the cable forms a deviation angle A which is directed backwards with respect to the direction of movement of the cable towards the reel flange, as shown in Figure 2A.
  • the reel is displaced axially at a constant speed with respect to the stationary distributor, which means that the backward deviation angle increases temporarily at the S-shaped transitions 11, as shown with an angle A' in Figure 2B. This variation is not attempted to be compensated for.
  • the hold-down roll 6 is pressed by means of the cylinder 8 against the cable only with a force which is sufficient, together with the force of gravity of the cable and the drawing force acting on the cable, to prevent the cable from climbing on a preceding cable turn.
  • the cable is thus pressed gently against the reel but the purpose of the hold-down roll is not to force the cable to strictly follow the course of the preceding cable turn at the S-shaped transition.
  • the hold-down force is preferably smaller than the drawing force exerted on the cable. In this way the cable will be wound gently without forcing it in sharp S-shaped bends.
  • the hold-down roll is mounted axially resiliently on the arm 5 so that it stops automatically beside the reel flange due to this resiliency, and a side roll prevents friction against the reel flange.
  • the cable In the vicinity of the reel flange the cable is positioned against the reel flange in parallel with it, whereafter its position is changed at the following S-shaped transition by means of the guiding device 9.
  • the guiding device comprises two pulleys 14 which are positioned in parallel with each other on an angled arm 15 mounted pivotally in the distributor frame.
  • the arm is connected to a compressed air cylinder 16 communicating with a source of compressed air 17.
  • the detector 7 of the hold-down roll is operationally connected by means of a conductor 18 with an actuator 19 for a valve 20 positioned between the cylinder and the source of compressed air.
  • Figure 3a illustrates the position of the guiding device when the cable is wound towards the right-hand side flange 12 of the reel.
  • the guide pulleys 14 pass the cable on the reel at the above-mentioned backward deviation angle A.
  • the detector measures a predetermined distance from the reel flange and sends via a conductor 21 a corresponding impulse to the electronics of the machine after this distance has been achieved.
  • the electronics of the machine calculates that the cable will reach the reel flange after a certain number of cable turns has been wound on the reel, the number depending on the diameter of the cable, and regulates the axial displacement of the reel in such a way that the cable will be positioned in parallel with the flange, Figure 3B.
  • the electronics causes the direction of movement of the reel to be reversed.
  • the detector sends an impulse to the actuator, which influences the valve 20 so that it causes the cylinder to change the position of the guide pulleys, Figure 3C.
  • the pulleys cause the cable to be displaced in the sideward direction over a distance equal to the thickness of the cable, thus forming the first S-shaped transition.
  • the detector sends an impulse to the actuator to cause it to influence the cylinder so that it returns the guide pulleys to the normal winding position to wind the cable towards the left-hand side reel flange.
  • the electronics of the machine receives an impulse to regulate the axial displacement of the reel so that the cable is again positioned at the backward deviation angle A, as shown in Figure 3D.
