As described above, according to the present invention, the winding unit
constituting device is formed into a cassette, so that assembly, inspection, and
maintenance operations are advantageously easy and specifications for the
automatic winder can advantageously be easily changed.
A winding unit for an automatic winder according to the present invention
will be described below based on an embodiment of the present invention shown
in Figures 1 to 15.
The automatic winder is constructed by mounting a plurality of winding
units 11 on a base as shown in Figure 3. The winding unit 11 for the automatic
winder according to this embodiment comprises a vertically extending winding
unit support main body 1 and one or more winding unit constituting devices 2
attached to the winding unit support main body 1. Principal improvements of
this winding unit are listed below.
The connector 3 is for electric wiring and has the one junction section 3a
disposed at a predetermined position of an attachment section 1a comprising a
side plate of the winding unit support main body 1, and the other junction 3b
disposed at a predetermined position of an attachment member 6a of the winding
unit constituting device 2. The junction section 3a is either female or male
(in the drawings, female), while the junction section 3b is correspondingly
either male or female. The junction sections 3a, 3b of the connector 3 joint
wires such as power wires and/or signal wires together to supply power or
communicate signals between the winding unit support main body 1 and the winding
unit constituting device 2.
The connector 4 is for piping for compressed or sucked air and has the one
junction section 4a disposed at a predetermined position of the attachment
section 1a of the winding unit support main body 1, and the other junction 4b
disposed at a predetermined position of the attachment member 6a of the winding
unit constituting device 2. The junction section 4a is either female or male
(in the drawings, male), while the junction section 4b is correspondingly
either male or female. When a seal ring 7 is externally fitted around the male
junction section 4a of the connector 4, composed of a pipe, or is internally
fitted into the female junction section 4b of the connector 4, composed of a
pipe, a gap between the junction sections 4a, 4b is sealed.
The transmission mechanism 5 has either the driving or driven node 5a (in
the drawings, the driving node) disposed at a predetermined position of the
winding unit support main body 1, and the other node 5b (in the drawings, the
driven node) disposed at a predetermined position of the winding unit
constituting device 2. When the attachment member 6a of the winding unit
constituting device 2 is attached to or removed from the winding unit support
main body 1, the nodes 5a, 5b of the disposed transmission mechanism 5 are
connected together or mutually separated. The nodes may be points as shown in
the drawings, a combination of a plate cam and a rod which contact mutually on
a pair of lines or planes, a combination of a spline shaft and a bearing which
mesh mutually (not shown in the drawings), or a combination of two meshing
gears, as appropriate. One of the nodes 5a, 5b is preferably configured to
reciprocate linearly in a direction in which the winding unit constituting
device 2 is attached or removed. The attachment section 1a of the winding unit
support main body 1 and/or the attachment member 6a of the winding unit
constituting device 2 has an opening 8 such that one of the nodes can enter the
winding unit constituting device 2 or the winding unit support main body 1.
When the driven node 5b is located in the winding unit constituting device 2,
power is transmitted from the driving node 5a located in the winding unit main
body 1, to dive the mechanism incorporated in the winding unit constituting
device 2. On the contrary, when the driven node 5b is located in the winding
unit support main body 1, power is transmitted from the driving node 5a located
in the winding unit constituting device 2, to dive the mechanism incorporated
in the winding unit support main body 1.
The attachment section 1a of the winding unit support main body 1 and the
attachment member 6a of the winding unit constituting device 2 have one or more
sets of positioning means 9 provided at appropriate locations and comprising a
pin 9a in the attachment section 1 and a hole 9b in the attachment member 6a.
The positioning means 9 enables accurate positioning when the attachment
section 1a and the attachment member 6a are joined together.
The attachment section 1a of the winding unit support main body 1 and the
attachment member 6a of the winding unit constituting device 2 have one or more
sets of connection means 10 provided at appropriate locations and comprising a
threaded hole 10a in the attachment section 1a and a bolt 10b in the attachment
member 6a. The connection means 10 enables firm connection when the attachment
section 1a and the attachment member 6a are attached together. The connection
means 10 places the bolt 10b in the attachment section 6a of the winding unit
constituting device 2 so that the bolt 10b will not slip out, and enables the
bolt 10b to be easily tightened from the winding unit constituting device 2 if
the threaded hole 10a is formed in the attachment section 1a of the winding unit
support main body 1. If the bolt 10b has a hexagonal hole, it can be more
easily tightened using a T-shaped wrench 20 (see Figure 4). In addition, to
locate the bolt 10b so as not to slip out, for example, a through hole for the
bolt 10b in the attachment section 6a may be formed into a threaded hole such as
that in the attachment section 1a.
A direction in which the junction sections 3a, 3b of the connector 3 are
relatively moved so as to be joined together or mutually separated, a direction
in which the junction sections 4a, 4b of the connector 4 are relatively moved so
as to be joined together or mutually separated, a direction in which the nodes
5a, 5b of the transmission mechanism 5 are relatively moved so as to be
connected together or mutually separated, a direction in which the pin 9a and
hole 9b of the positioning means 9 are relatively moved so as to be fitted
together or mutually separated, and a direction in which the bolt 10b and
threaded hole 10a of the connection means 10 are relatively moved so as to be
screwed together or mutually separated are all the same (an arrow A direction
in Figure 4). Thus, by moving the winding unit constituting device 2 in the
arrow A direction relative to the attachment section 1a of the fixed winding
unit support main body 1, the above described junction or separation, the
connection and separation, the fitting and separation, and the screwing and
separation can be carried out simultaneously or in parallel.
