Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Messen der Dicke und/oder der Ungleichmässigkeit von nachfolgend als Wickel bezeichneten Watten oder Vliesen, mit einer Führung für den Wickel, mit einem diesen gegen die Führung drückenden und relativ zu dieser bewegbaren Dickenfühler, dessen Stellung ein Mass für die Dicke und/oder die Ungleichmässigkeit des Wickels darstellt und mit einem Wegmesssystem.The invention relates to a device for measuring the thickness and / or Non-uniformity of wadding or fleeces, hereinafter referred to as wraps, with a Guide for the winding, with a pressing against the guide and relative to this movable thickness sensor, the position of which is a measure of the thickness and / or the Non-uniformity of the winding and with a path measuring system.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist bereits aus der EP-A-0467117 bekannt. Dabei ist der Dickenfühler durch eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten und durch den Wickel einzeln verstellbaren Einzelfühlem gebildet, die sich über die Breite des Wickels erstrecken. In jedem Einzelfühler ist eine elektrische Messvorrichtung für die Erfassung der Stellung des Einzelfühlers zur Führung angeordnet. Damit stehen Signale für die Stellung jedes Einzelfühlers zur Verfügung, die es erlauben, Unterschiede in der Dicke des Wickels, die über die Breite des Wickels gesehen bestehen, zu erkennen.Such a device is already known from EP-A-0467117. Here is the thickness sensor by a plurality of side by side and individually adjustable by the winding Single sensor formed, which extend across the width of the winding. In each Single sensor is an electrical measuring device for detecting the position of the Single sensor arranged for guidance. So there are signals for the position of everyone Single sensors are available that allow differences in the thickness of the wrap that over seen the width of the wrap.

Ein Nachteil dieser bekannten Vorrichtung besteht darin, dass die Anordnung einer elektrischen Messvorrichtung in jedem Einzelfühler aufwendig und teuer ist. Arbeitet die Messvorrichtung mit Dehnmessstreifen, so muss jede einzelne Messvorrichtung vor der Inbetriebnahme sorgfältig geeicht werden, was ein aufwendiges Verfahren ist.A disadvantage of this known device is that the arrangement of a electrical measuring device in each individual sensor is complex and expensive. Does that work Measuring device with strain gauges, each individual measuring device must be in front of the Commissioning must be carefully calibrated, which is a complex process.

Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, wie sie in den Patentansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, eine solche Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die einfacher und billiger ist, ohne dass Einbussen bei der Qualität der Messungen hingenommen werden müssen. It is therefore an object of the present invention as characterized in the claims is to create such a device that is simpler and cheaper without Losses in the quality of the measurements have to be accepted.

Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass ein Übertragungselement, das zur Übertragung der Bewegung des Dickenfühlers an das Wegmesssystem in einer wählbaren, zur Bewegungsrichtung des Dickenfühlers beliebig geneigten Richtung ausgebildet und angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann ein Wegmesssystem in einer beliebig wählbaren Richtung arbeitend vorgesehen sein.This is achieved by having a transmission element that is used to transmit the movement of the thickness sensor to the position measuring system in a selectable direction of movement the thickness sensor is formed and arranged in any inclined direction. This can a position measuring system can be provided working in any direction.

Neben dem einfacheren Aufbau einer solchen Vorrichtung ergibt sich gemäss den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 5 der weitere Vorteil, dass gleichzeitig die Auslenkungen aller Einzelfühler addiert werden, so dass ein Signal entsteht, das die mittlere Dicke des Wickels darstellt. Somit muss dieses Signal nicht mehr durch elektrische Verarbeitung von Einzelsignalen ermittelt werden. Die Vorrichtung kann auf einfache Weise für einen, zwei oder mehrere Einzelfühler ausgelegt oder auch nachträglich auf mehrere Einzelfühler erweitert werden. Beim Einsatz der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung in einer Karde mit offenem Regelkreis, kann diesem direkt ein über die Breite gemittelter Wert für die Dicke des Wickels zugeführt werden, was eine genauere Regelung ermöglicht und zu einer verbesserten Gleichmässigkeit des Bandes am Auslauf der Karde führt.In addition to the simpler construction of such a device, the features also show of claim 5, the further advantage that the deflections of all individual sensors are added at the same time so that a signal is generated that represents the average thickness of the roll. Consequently this signal no longer has to be determined by electrical processing of individual signals become. The device can easily be used for one, two or more individual sensors designed or expanded to several individual sensors. When using the The device according to the invention in a card with an open control circuit can do this directly a width-averaged value for the thickness of the wrap can be supplied, which is a more accurate Regulation enables and to improve the uniformity of the belt on Carding spout leads.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung. Dabei erkennt man einen Wickel 1, der auf einer festen Führung 2 aufliegt und der vorzugsweise als loses Fasergebilde wie z.B. Watte oder ein Vlies erscheint, das nachfolgend als Wickel bezeichnet wird. Ein Dickenfühler 3 ist auf dem Wickel 1 aufliegend oder sogar eintauchend vorgesehen, der hier insbesondere als hohle Messwalze 3' ausgebildet ist. Die Innenfläche 4 der Messwalze 3' weist zwei ringförmige Nuten 5, 6 auf, die zur seitlichen Führung von Rollenpaaren 7, 8 dienen, die sich auf der Messwalze 3' abstützen. Die Rollenpaare 7, 8 weisen Drehachsen 9, 10 auf, die in einem Wagen 11 gelagert sind. Dieser weist eine Stütze 12 auf, die zur Lagerung einer Umlenkrolle 13 für ein Übertragungselement 14 dient, das biegsam aber möglichst unelastisch sein soll und hier beispielsweise als Seil ausgebildet ist. Zwei weitere Umlenkrollen 15, 16 sind in einem Balken 17 gelagert, der über Stimflächen 18, 19 der Messwalze 3' hinausragt und in dem das eine Ende 20 des Übertragungselementes 14 fest gelagert ist. Das andere Ende 21 des Übertragungselementes 14 ist an ein Wegmesssystem 22 angeschlossen und bewegt sich in Richtung eines Pfeiles 23, wenn die Messwalze 3' zur Führung 2 hin oder davon wegbewegt wird. Der Pfeil 23 zeigt damit eine Richtung an, die zu einer Bewegungsrichtung des Dickenfühlers 3, wie sie durch einen Pfeil 24 angegeben ist, geneigt oder abgewinkelt ist. Das Wegmesssystem 22 besteht neben dem eigentlichen Wegmesselement 22a auch aus einer Feder 22b, einer einstellbaren Lagerung 22c für die Feder 22b am Balken 17 und einem Kupplungselement 22d für das Übertragungselement 14, das hier auch als Messfläche für das eigentliche Wegmesselement 22a dient. Man erkennt hier auch, dass eine Bewegung der Messwalze 3' in der Richtung des Pfeiles 24 wegen der Bildung einer Schleife im Übertragungselement 14 eine doppelt so grosse Auslenkung des Endes 21 im Bereiche des Wegmessystemes 22 ergibt. Damit kann auch eine Verdoppelung der Messgenauigkeit erreicht werden. Die Anpresskraft des Dickenfühlers 3 gegen die Führung 2 wird (neben der Schwerkraft) von der Feder 22b erzeugt.1 shows a device according to the invention. You can see a wrap 1 on a fixed guide 2 rests and preferably as a loose fiber structure such as Cotton wool or a fleece appears, which is referred to below as a wrap. A thickness sensor 3 is on the Winding 1 is provided lying or even immersing, which here in particular as a hollow measuring roller 3 'is formed. The inner surface 4 of the measuring roller 3 'has two annular grooves 5, 6 on, which serve for the lateral guidance of pairs of rollers 7, 8, which are on the measuring roller 3 ' support. The pairs of rollers 7, 8 have axes of rotation 9, 10, which are mounted in a carriage 11 are. This has a support 12, which is used to support a deflection roller 13 for a transmission element 14 is used, which should be flexible but as inelastic as possible and here, for example is designed as a rope. Two further deflection rollers 15, 16 are mounted in a bar 17, the protrudes beyond end faces 18, 19 of the measuring roller 3 'and in which the one end 20 of the transmission element 14 is fixed. The other end 21 of the transmission element 14 is connected to a displacement measuring system 22 and moves in the direction of an arrow 23 if the measuring roller 3 'is moved towards the guide 2 or away from it. The arrow 23 thus shows one Direction leading to a direction of movement of the thickness sensor 3, as indicated by an arrow 24 is specified, is inclined or angled. The path measuring system 22 exists in addition to the actual one Displacement measuring element 22a also from a spring 22b, an adjustable bearing 22c for the spring 22b on the beam 17 and a coupling element 22d for the transmission element 14, which also serves as a measuring surface for the actual displacement measuring element 22a. You can see here also that a movement of the measuring roller 3 'in the direction of arrow 24 due to the formation a loop in the transmission element 14 a twice as large deflection of the end 21 in Areas of the path measuring system 22 results. This can also double the measurement accuracy can be achieved. The contact force of the thickness sensor 3 against the guide 2 is (in addition of gravity) generated by the spring 22b.

    Fig. 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Vorrichtung. Dann erkennt man wiederum die Rollenpaare 7, 8, den Wagen 11 mit der Stütze 12 und der Umlenkrolle 13, sowie den Balken 17 mit den Umlenkrollen 15, 16 und einer Achse 25 zu deren Lagerung im Balken 17. Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 hervorgeht, bildet die Führung 2 hier im wesentlichen eine Ebene. FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the device shown in FIG. 1. Then you recognize again the pairs of rollers 7, 8, the carriage 11 with the support 12 and the guide roller 13, and the Beam 17 with the pulleys 15, 16 and an axis 25 for their storage in the beam 17. How 1 and 2, the guide 2 essentially forms a plane here.

    Fig. 3 zeigt eine Vorrichtung mit drei Dickenfühlem 26, 27, 28, die hier alle auf einem gemeinsamen Balken 29 über einer Führung 30 gelagert sind. Der Aufbau der Dickenfühler 26, 27, 28 ist derjenige, der bereits aus den Fig. 1 und 2 bekannt ist. Dabei haben aber alle Dickenfühler 26, 27, 28 ein gemeinsames Übertragungselement 31 und ein gemeinsames Wegmesssystem 32, das auf einer Seite der drei Dickenfühler 26, 27. 28 auf dem Balken 29 befestigt ist. Der Balken 29 kann beispielsweise in hier nicht näher dargestellter, aber bekannter Art und Weise mit der Führung 30 verbunden sein, sich darauf abstützen oder in irgend einer anderen Weise, insbesondere ortsfest und in einem festen Abstand zur Führung gelagert sein. Das Übertragungselement 31 durchquert hier mehrere Messwalzen, die zwischen dem Wegmesssystem 32 und einer festen Lagerung 51 angeordnet sind. Im Wegmesssystem 32 ist auch eine feste Lagerung 32c für eine Feder 32b vorgesehen die über ein Kupplungselement 32d mit dem Übertragungselement 31 verbunden ist. Die Lagerung 32c ist längs des Balkens 29 verschieb- und einstellbar, so dass die Spannkraft der Feder 32b und damit auch die Andruckkraft aller vorgesehenen Dikkenfühler 26, 27, 28 gemeinsam einstellbar ist.Fig. 3 shows a device with three thickness sensors 26, 27, 28, all here on a common Beams 29 are mounted on a guide 30. The structure of the thickness sensor 26, 27, 28 is the one that is already known from FIGS. 1 and 2. However, all thickness sensors 26 27, 28 a common transmission element 31 and a common distance measuring system 32, which is attached to the beam 29 on one side of the three thickness sensors 26, 27. 28. The bar 29 can, for example, in a manner not shown here, but known, with the Guide 30 may be connected, relied upon, or in any other way, in particular be stationary and at a fixed distance from the guide. The transmission element 31 passes through several measuring rollers, which are between the path measuring system 32 and a fixed bearing 51 are arranged. There is also a fixed bearing in the path measuring system 32 32c for a spring 32b provided via a coupling element 32d with the transmission element 31 is connected. The bearing 32c is displaceable and adjustable along the beam 29, so that the tensioning force of the spring 32b and thus also the pressing force of all provided thickness sensors 26, 27, 28 can be adjusted together.

    Fig. 4 zeigt nochmals den Einsatz eines erfindungsgemässen Dickenfühlers 3 über einer stationären und ebenen Führung 2 mit einem Wickel 1, der durch hier nicht gezeigte Mittel in Richtung eines Pfeiles 33 angetrieben ist und damit die Messwalze 3' antreibt. Im Bereiche des Dickenfühlers 3 erfährt der Wickel 1 eine Verdichtung, so dass sich seine Höhe auf einen Betrag a vemngert.FIG. 4 again shows the use of a thickness sensor 3 according to the invention above a stationary one and flat guide 2 with a winding 1, the direction by means not shown here an arrow 33 is driven and thus drives the measuring roller 3 '. In the area of the thickness sensor 3, the winding 1 undergoes compression, so that its height is reduced to an amount a.

    Fig. 5 zeigt einen Dickenfühler 3 wie er über einer runden Führung, hier einer Walze 34, die in Richtung eines Pfeiles 35 angetrieben ist, angeordnet sein kann. Auch hier ergibt sich eine Verdichtung des Wickels 1 auf den Betrag a.Fig. 5 shows a thickness sensor 3 as it over a round guide, here a roller 34, which in Direction of an arrow 35 is driven, can be arranged. There is also a compression here of the roll 1 to the amount a.

    Fig. 6 zeigt einen Dickenfühler 3 wie er über einer mehrteiligen Führung, hier aus zwei Walzen 36 und 37 bestehend, die in Richtung von Pfeilen 38 angetrieben sind, angeordnet sein kann. Auch hier ergibt sich eine Verdichtung des Wickels 1 auf den Betrag a. Fig. 6 shows a thickness sensor 3 as it over a multi-part guide, here from two rollers 36 and 37, which are driven in the direction of arrows 38, can be arranged. Here, too, the winding 1 is compressed to the amount a.

    Fig. 7 zeigt die Anwendung eines erfindungsgemässen Dickenfühlers 39 im Umfeld einer Karde 40 mit nachgeschaltetem Kannensystem 41 zur Ablage von kardiertem Band 42. Karde und Kannen weisen einen gemeinsamen mechanischen oder elektrischen Antrieb 43 und ein Überwachungs- und Regelsystem 44 auf. Wie hier gezeigt, kann der Dickenfühler 39 im Bereiche einer Einzugswalze 45 am Eingang zur Karde 40 vorgesehen und über eine Leitung 46 mit dem Überwachungs- und Regelsystem 44 verbunden sein.7 shows the use of a thickness sensor 39 according to the invention in the vicinity of a card 40 with downstream can system 41 for storing carded tape 42 Cans have a common mechanical or electrical drive 43 and Monitoring and control system 44. As shown here, the thickness sensor 39 can be in the range a feed roller 45 is provided at the entrance to the card 40 and via a line 46 be connected to the monitoring and control system 44.

    Die Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist wie folgt:
    Durch die unterschiedliche Dicke des bewegten Wickels 1 wird die Messwalze 3' mehr oder weniger stark von der Führung 2 abgehoben. Dabei wird eine Bewegung der Messwalze 3' über die Rollen 7, 8, den Wagen 11, die Stütze 12 und die Umlenkrolle 13 auf das Übertragungselement 14 übertragen, das dabei eine Schleife, die es im Bereiche der Umlenkrollen 13, 15, 16 bildet, vergrössert oder verkleinert. Durch die Bewegung des Übertragungselementes wird ein Geber 47 im Wegmesssystem 22 mehr oder weniger ausgelenkt, was die Angabe über die Dicke oder die Gleichmässigkeit des Wickels 1 liefert. Statt des Gebers 47 kann das Wegmesssystem 22 aber auch berührungslos arbeiten.
    The operation of the device according to the invention is as follows:
    Due to the different thickness of the moving roll 1, the measuring roller 3 'is more or less lifted off the guide 2. A movement of the measuring roller 3 'via the rollers 7, 8, the carriage 11, the support 12 and the deflection roller 13 is transmitted to the transmission element 14, which thereby forms a loop in the region of the deflection rollers 13, 15, 16, enlarged or reduced. The movement of the transmission element causes a transmitter 47 in the displacement measuring system 22 to be more or less deflected, which provides information about the thickness or the uniformity of the winding 1. Instead of the encoder 47, the distance measuring system 22 can also work without contact.

    Bei der Anordnung mehrerer solcher Dickenfühler 26, 27, 28 nebeneinander, summieren sich die Auslenkungen von drei Schleifen 48, 49, 50, so, dass sich an demjenigen Ende des Übertrangungselementes, das am Wegmesssystem 32 befestigt ist, ein Signal ergibt, das der gemittelten Dicke des Wickels 1 entspricht. Da alle Schleifen 48, 49, 50 von einer mittleren Auslenkung auch bei einer Dicke Null des Wickels 1 ausgehen, werden sehr geringe Dicken auf einer Messwalze mit grösseren Dicken auf einer anderen Messwalze verrechnet. Bei mehreren Dikkenfühlern in Serieschaltung, wie aus der Fig. 3 bekannt, muss auch das Wegmesssystem 32 entsprechend geeicht werden.If several such thickness sensors 26, 27, 28 are arranged side by side, they add up the deflections of three loops 48, 49, 50, so that at that end of the transmission element, which is attached to the path measuring system 32, gives a signal that the averaged Thickness of the winding 1 corresponds. Since all loops 48, 49, 50 are of a medium deflection even with a zero thickness of the winding 1, very small thicknesses will result in one Measuring roller with larger thicknesses offset on another measuring roller. With several thickness sensors In series connection, as is known from FIG. 3, the path measuring system 32 must also be calibrated accordingly.
