Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for preparing the beginning of a replacement winding reel for the flying reel change, the web beginning following the waste in successive sections transversely to the web direction with a perforation and a connection adhesive application on the top and then to the Replacement winding roll is glued.
  • a device of the type mentioned shows DE-A-41 18 690.7.
  • the beginning of the path is guided by hand to the processing stations and subjected to the above-mentioned work steps.
  • the waste portion is cut off and the prepared beginning of the web is placed on the replacement winding roll and glued on using a pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • This device requires a high level of manual effort, given the large number of replacement windings to be processed.
  • DE-A1-38 11 138 also discloses a method and a device for mechanically producing the adhesive tip of a replacement winding roll.
  • the replacement winding roll is located in a unwinder of a paper-processing machine in a splice position. While the beginning of the web, which has been detected after the removal of paper waste, is rewound, two knives move from the web edges to the center of the web and create a V-cut. Glue is applied along the cut edge, and the glue tip is wound back onto the replacement winding roll as the rewind continues. The roll is sealed with a previously attached flap. Due to the complicated geometry of the adhesive tip, this solution requires complex mechanisms which make the device more expensive. The preparation of the web for the tab and its application itself are also complex.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing the beginning of a replacement winding reel for the flying reel change, in which the beginning of the web following the waste in successive sections transversely to the web direction with a perforation and a connection adhesive application on the top and then on the replacement winding roll is glued to create, which can be mechanized with little effort.
  • a structurally simple device for performing the method must be created.
  • Fig. 1 shows a replacement winding roll 1 and a waste roll 2, to which the beginning of the replacement winding roll 1 is attached. Variants for the attachment are shown in DE application P 41 39 586.7.
  • Fig. 2 the generally damaged beginning of the replacement winding roll 1 has been erected on the waste roll 2.
  • Fig. 3 the waste roll 2 moved away from the replacement winding roll 1 holds the web start 3 taut in a processing position. 4, two perforations 4, 5 are applied to the beginning of the web 3.
  • Fig. 5 the beginning of the web 3 is further provided with a bonding adhesive application 7.
  • the waste roll 2 is returned to the replacement winding roll 1 and the beginning of the web has been glued to it.
  • FIG. 7 shows the waste roll 2 moved away from the replacement winding roll 1, the perforation 5 being torn open.
  • 8 shows the longitudinally separated layers 8 removed from the waste roll 2.
  • FIG. 9 shows the ready-made replacement winding roll 1 with the connection adhesive application 7, the perforation 4, the pressure-sensitive adhesive application 9 and the beginning of the roll 10 formed on the perforation 5.
  • the replacement winding roll 1, not shown, is clamped in the arms of an unwinder.
  • a frame 11 can be moved up to the replacement winding roll 1 by means of a movement device 12.
  • the waste paper roll 2 including a movement device 13 is arranged on the frame 11.
  • the frame 11 also houses a knife bar 16 with two perforating knives 14, 15 and a pressure roller 18 movable against the latter by means of a movement device 17.
  • the latter is rotatably mounted on a linear drive with guide 19.
  • the latter also carries a device for applying the adhesive 20.
  • a drive roller 21 is also mounted on the frame 11.
  • a sensor system 22 for detecting paper damage and a device for the connection adhesive application 23 are arranged on the frame 11.
  • the latter device is attached to a linear drive with guide 24.
  • the frame 11 also houses a linear drive with guide 25, to which a circular knife 26 is attached with its rotary drive 27.
  • the drive roller 21 In the state of the frame 11, which is approached to the replacement winding roll 1 and drawn in FIG. 10, the drive roller 21 lies against the jacket of the replacement winding roll 1 and rotates it clockwise as long as the sensor system 22 detects web damage in connection with suitable evaluation electronics.
  • the damaged web the start of which is held on the waste roll 2, for example by means of a suction bar (not shown), is wound by a motor, not shown, with a constant torque onto the waste roll 2, which lies against the jacket of the replacement winding roll 1.
  • the drive roller 21 At the end of the winding process, the drive roller 21 is deactivated and the replacement winding roller 1 is brought to a standstill by a brake (not shown).
  • the beginning of the web 3 is brought into a processing position.
  • the web is guided around the drive roller 21.
  • the movement of the waste roll 2 can take place instead of, as shown, on a straight line, for example also on a circular arc path.
  • the pressure roller 18 is moved against the perforating knives 14 and 15 by means of the movement device 17 (FIG. 12).
  • the pressure roller 18 rolls on the web start 3 resting on the perforating knives 14, 15 and produces the perforations 4, 5.
  • the tracked device 20 ensures that Apply pressure-sensitive adhesive 9 between the perforations 4, 5 on the underside of the web (FIG. 13).
  • An analog movement of the device 23 by means of the linear drive 24 provides the connection adhesive application 7 on the top of the web.
  • Liquid adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape can be used as the adhesive.
  • the waste roll 2 is then moved back to the jacket of the replacement winding roll (FIG. 14).
  • the peeled and prepared web with pressure sensitive adhesive 9 is applied to the Spare winding roll 1 pressed on and glued.
  • the motor not shown, with a constant torque on the waste roll 2 ensures a constant web tension.
  • the web is torn off the replacement winding roll 1 with the wound-on web piece by tearing open the perforation 5.
  • the relative movement can be generated, for example, by rotating the replacement winding roll 1 or the waste roll 2 counterclockwise or moving the waste roll 2 away from the replacement winding roll 1.
  • it is brought into the area of the circular knife 26 (FIG. 15).
  • the layers 8 are separated and fall off the waste roller 2.
  • the separation is also possible with a laser beam separation device, in the area of which the waste paper roll is to be moved.
  • the paper waste can also be unwound from the paper roll by means of a driven, glued winding sleeve placed on it. It is also possible to unwind the web from the paper roll and to remove it by gravity.
  • the waste can also remain on the waste roll over several cycles if it is designed as an exchangeable, glued winding sleeve to which the beginning of the web, not part of the subject matter of this patent, is glued.
  • the preparation of the start of a replacement winding roll when it was received within a unwinding device was described.
  • the invention is also applicable to stand-alone units outside of the reel changer.
  • the replacement winding roller could also be moved to the frame by reversing the movement of the frame with its functional units.
  • the perforations can advantageously be produced with a laser cutting device with a linearly moved, clocked laser beam instead of mechanically.
  • the pressure-sensitive adhesive was applied to the removed web start. It can also be carried out on the correspondingly assigned area on the jacket of the replacement winding roll.
