Die Dorne 40 sind in ihrer Größe an die Öffnung der Hülsen angepaßt.The mandrels 40 are in size at the opening of the Adjusted sleeves.

Die Hülsen 30 weisen üblicherweise standardisierte Abmessungen auf.The sleeves 30 usually have standardized Dimensions on.

Vorzugsweise ist die Öffnung 20 so groß, daß die Hülsen eine Hohlkörperform haben.The opening 20 is preferably so large that the sleeves have a hollow shape.

Das Auflegen der Hülsen 30 auf die Dorne 40 kann auf verschiedene Weisen erfolgen, wobei bei einem manuellen Auflegen der konstruktive Aufwand besonders gering ist.The sleeves 30 can be placed on the mandrels 40 different ways are done, with a manual The design effort is particularly low.

Die Dorne 40 werden durch ein geeignetes Fördermittel 50 transportiert. In der dargestellten, besonders robusten Ausführungsform weist das Fördermittel 50 ein Förderband 60 und einen Motor 70 auf. Die Gestaltung des Fördermittels 50 mit einem Förderband 60 und einem Motor 70 hat den Vorteil, daß zum Antrieb des Förderbandes 60 nur ein einziger Motor 70 erforderlich ist. Hierdurch können alle Dorne 40 gemeinsam angetrieben werden.The mandrels 40 are supported by a suitable funding 50 transported. In the illustrated, especially robust embodiment has the conveyor 50 Conveyor belt 60 and a motor 70. The design of the conveyor 50 with a conveyor belt 60 and a Motor 70 has the advantage that to drive the Conveyor belt 60 requires only a single motor 70 is. This allows all mandrels 40 to be common are driven.

Vorzugsweise ist das Förderband 60 ein die gesamte Bearbeitungsstation durchlaufendes Endlosband.Preferably, the conveyor belt 60 is the entire one Continuous belt through processing station.

Das Fördermittel 50 kann jedoch auch auf eine andere Weise gestaltet sein, beispielsweise können die einzelnen Dorne 40 auf Trägern, beispielsweise in Schlittenform, transportiert werden.However, the funding 50 can also be different Be designed in such a way, for example individual mandrels 40 on supports, for example in Sledge shape, can be transported.

Die Bearbeitungsstation weist als weiteren Bestandteil eine Trennstation 80 auf. Die Trennstation 80 ist in Laufrichtung des Bandes im Anschluß an die Auflegestation 10 angeordnet.The processing station has another component a separation station 80. The separation station 80 is in Direction of the belt following the Laying station 10 arranged.

Zur Verringerung des Platzbedarfes ist es zweckmäßig, daß das Transportband 60 so angeordnet ist, daß die Trennstation 80 oberhalb der Auflegestation 10 angeordnet ist. To reduce the space requirement, it is advisable that the conveyor belt 60 is arranged so that the Separation station 80 above the lay-up station 10 is arranged.

Die Trennstation 80 weist mindestens eine, vorzugsweise mehrere Düsen auf, die senkrecht zu den Hauptachsen der Dornen 40 und damit auch senkrecht zu den Hauptachsen der auf den Dornen 40 befindlichen Hülsen 30 verschiebbar gelagert sind.The separation station 80 has at least one, preferably several nozzles that are perpendicular to the main axes of the Thorns 40 and thus also perpendicular to the main axes of the sleeves 30 located on the thorns 40 are slidably mounted.

In dem in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellten Fall weist die Trennstation 80 acht nebeneinander angeordnete Düsen 110 auf. Die Düsen 110 weisen gegenüber den Achsen der Dorne einen Winkel von 35 Grad bis etwa 45 Grad auf.In the case shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the Separation station 80 eight nozzles arranged side by side 110 on. The nozzles 110 face the axes of FIG Thorns angled from 35 degrees to about 45 degrees.

Durch Schläuche 115 wird Wasser zu den Düsen 110 zugeführt. Die Düsen 110 sind gemeinsam auf einer Stange 120 angeordnet. Hierdurch können alle Düsen 110 gemeinsam verfahren werden.Water becomes the nozzles 110 through hoses 115 fed. The nozzles 110 are together on one Rod 120 arranged. This allows all of the nozzles 110 be proceeded together.

Die Stange 120 ist über zwei Führungskörpern 125 auf zwei Führungsschienen 128 verschiebbar gelagert.The rod 120 is on two guide bodies 125 two guide rails 128 slidably mounted.

Für die Durchführung ist es besonders zweckmäßig, daß die Dorne 40 taktweise fortbewegt werden, so daß so viele Hülsen 30 in die Trennstation 80 verbracht werden, wie es der Anzahl der Düsen 110 in der Trennstation 80 entspricht.For the implementation, it is particularly useful that the mandrels 40 are moved in cycles, so that many sleeves 30 are placed in the separation station 80 as the number of nozzles 110 in the Separation station 80 corresponds.

Die Düsen 110 bestehen aus einem nicht rostenden Material, insbesondere aus rostfreiem Stahl. Bei der Durchführung des Verfahrens setzen die Strahlen an der Seite der Hülse 30 an, die der diskusförmigen Verbreiterung ("Hutkrempe") 38 der Hülsen 30 abgewandt ist. Anschließend werden die Düsen 110 so bewegt, daß der Wasserstrahl parallel zu der Oberfläche bis zum Anfang der "Hutkrempe" geführt wird. Anschließend werden die Düsen 110 zurückgefahren, wobei es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen hat, daß die Düsen 110 nicht ganz zurückgefahren werden. Hierdurch werden Beschädigungen der Hülsenoberflächen vermieden.The nozzles 110 consist of a rustproof one Material, especially stainless steel. In the Carrying out the procedure put the rays on the Side of the sleeve 30 to that of the disc-shaped Widening ("hat brim") 38 facing away from the sleeves 30 is. Then the nozzles 110 are moved so that the water jet parallel to the surface up to Start of the "hat brim" is performed. Subsequently the nozzles 110 are retracted, where it turns out to be has proven advantageous that the nozzles 110 are not quite be reduced. This will cause damage of the sleeve surfaces avoided.

Im Anschluß an die Trennstation 80 befindet sich eine Reinigungsstation 130, in der die zuvor durchtrennten Fadenbestandteile abgespült werden. Eine wirksame Reinigung in Zusammenhang mit einem geringen Wasserverbrauch läßt sich dadurch erzielen, daß in der Reinigungsstation 130 geeignete Sprühvorrichtungen 135 angeordnet sind. Unterhalb der Sprühvorrichtungen 135 ist ein Auffangbecken 138 angeordnet, in dem das aus den Sprühvorrichtungen 135 ausgetretene Wasser gesammelt wird.There is a connection to the separation station 80 Cleaning station 130, in which the previously cut Thread components are rinsed off. An effective one Cleaning related to a minor Water consumption can be achieved in that in the Cleaning station 130 suitable spray devices 135 are arranged. Below the sprayer 135 a catch basin 138 is arranged, in which the the sprays 135 leaked water is collected.

Es ist zweckmäßig, daß in der Trennstation 80 und/oder in der Reinigungsstation 130 eingesetztes Wasser nach dem Aufreffen auf die Hülsen aufgefangen und anschließend zu neuen Trennvorgängen eingesetzt wird. Beispielsweise ist unter der Trennstation 80 ein nicht dargestelltes Auffangbecken angeordnet. Vorteilhafterweise wird das Wasser durch geeignete Siebe gereinigt.It is expedient that in the separation station 80 and / or water used in the cleaning station 130 caught on the sleeves and is then used for new separation processes. For example, there is no under the separation station 80 shown catch basin arranged. Advantageously, the water is used by suitable Sieves cleaned.

Im Anschluß an die Trennstation befindet sich eine Entnahmestation 140. Eine besonders kompakte Gestaltung der Entnahmestation wird dadurch erzielt, daß in ihr ein manuelles Abnehmen der Hülsen 30 vorgesehen ist. Es ist jedoch gleichermaßen möglich, die Hülsen 30 in der Entnahmestation 140 auf andere Weise, beispielsweise durch Greifvorrichtungen, zu entnehmen.There is a connection to the separation station Withdrawal station 140. A particularly compact design the removal station is achieved in that in it a manual removal of the sleeves 30 is provided. It is equally possible, the sleeves 30 in the Extraction station 140 in another way, for example by gripping devices.

Mit Hilfe der dargestellten Vorrichtung wird das Verfahren wie folgt durchgeführt:With the help of the device shown Procedure carried out as follows:

In der Auflegestation 10 werden die Hülsen 30 auf die Dorne 40 gesteckt. Anschließend wird das Transportband um eben so viele Positionen nach vorne bewegt, wie es der Anzahl Hülsen entspricht, die in der Reinigungsstation 130 gleichzeitig von den Fadenresten befreit werden können.In the loading station 10, the sleeves 30 are on the Mandrels 40 inserted. Then the conveyor belt moved forward by as many positions as it is corresponds to the number of sleeves in the Cleaning station 130 from the thread remnants at the same time can be exempted.

Nachdem in die Bearbeitungsstation so viele Hülsen eingefahren wurden, wie es der Anzahl der Bearbeitungsplätze in der Bearbeitungsstation entspricht, wird der Trennvorgang wie folgt durchgeführt:After so many sleeves in the processing station were retracted as the number of Processing stations in the processing station corresponds to, the separation process is as follows carried out:

Über wenigstens ein, aus Platzgründen nicht dargestelltes, handelsübliches Ventil wird unter Druck stehendes Wasser durch Schläuche 115 zu den Düsen 110 geleitet. Die Düsen 115 werden oberhalb der Hülsen 30, vorzugsweise im wesentlichen parallel zu den Oberfläche der Hülsen 30, entlang den Hauptachsen der Hülsen 30 verfahren. About at least one, not for reasons of space The commercially available valve shown is under pressure standing water through hoses 115 to nozzles 110 headed. The nozzles 115 are above the sleeves 30, preferably substantially parallel to the surface of the sleeves 30, along the major axes of the sleeves 30 method.

Um die Düsen 110 so zu bewegen, daß die Wasserstrahlen parallel zu den Oberflächen der Hülsen 30 bis zu diskusförmigen Verbreiterungen - sogenannten "Hutkrempen" 38 - geführt werden. Anschließend werden die Düsen 110 ungefähr die Hälfte der zuvor zurückgelegten Strecke zurückgefahren und die Wasserzufuhr zu den Düsen 110 unterbrochen. Hierdurch werden Beschädigungen der Hülsenoberfläche vermieden.To move the nozzles 110 so that the water jets parallel to the surfaces of the sleeves 30 up to discus-shaped widenings - so-called "Hat brims" 38 - be led. Then be the nozzles 110 are about half of those previously traveled distance and the Water supply to the nozzles 110 is interrupted. Hereby damage to the sleeve surface is avoided.

Nach der Behandlung in der Trennstation 80 werden die Hülsen 30 in eine Reinigungsstation 130 transportiert. Die Reinigungsstation 130 enthält handelsübliche Sprühköpfe 135, aus denen Wasser auf die Hülsen 130 gesprüht wird. Hierdurch werden bei dem Trennvorgang auf den Oberflächen der Hülsen 30 verbliebene Fadenbestandteile entfernt.After the treatment in the separation station 80, the Sleeves 30 transported to a cleaning station 130. The cleaning station 130 contains commercially available ones Spray heads 135 from which water is applied to the sleeves 130 is sprayed. This will result in the separation process remaining on the surfaces of the sleeves 30 Thread components removed.

Anschließend werden die Hülsen 30 in die Entnahmestation 130 verfahren. Then the sleeves 30 in the Removal station 130 proceed.
