Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a deflection device for Deflection of a band, in particular a metal band, from an initial guide channel into a next to the initial guide channel extending end guide channel, the tape at Pass through the initial guide channel one from the final guide channel underside facing away and a facing the end guide channel Has top, wherein the deflection lower loading device for loading the underside of the tape with a medium, the deflecting device a driving device with an upper driving roller and a lower drive roller, the upper Drive roller on top and the lower drive roller on the bottom works.
  • Such a deflection device is, for. B. from EP 0 815 974 A1 known.
  • the object of the present invention is that of the deflection device known from EP 0 815 974 A1 easier to design.
  • the object is achieved in that the lower drive roller a lower scraper to strip the belt from the lower one Driving roller is assigned and that the lower loading device is arranged on the lower scraper.
  • the medium can, for example, compressed air or pressurized Be water.
  • the deflection device should also be an upper one Loading device for loading the top of the tape with the medium, so that the return of the tape from the final guide channel to the initial guide channel can be supported by the media exposure.
  • the upper loading device is also preferably on an upper scraper for stripping the tape from the arranged upper drive roller, if there is one is.
  • the start guide channel and the end guide channel are in the Usually separated from each other by a switch.
  • the switch can have a pointed tip.
  • a rounded one is particularly advantageous Tip that is rotatably mounted.
  • a deflection device has a drive device 1, 2 with an upper drive roller 1 and a lower one Driving roller 2 on.
  • the drive rollers 1, 2 act on a metal belt 3 with an upper side I and a lower side II this from a roller table 4 and promote it further into one Starting guide channel 5.
  • the metal strip 3 is a thin metal strip with a strip thickness d of a maximum of approx. 3 mm. Since the metal strip 3 is hot, there is the risk that it will hang on one of the drive rollers 1, 2 stays if it is not under tension. To such a thing Prevent getting caught on one of the drive rollers 1, 2 the upper drive roller 1, an upper wiper 6 and a lower scraper 7 assigned to lower drive roller 2. By means of the scrapers 6, 7, the belt 3 is removed from the respective Drive roller 1, 2 stripped off if it gets stuck on it.
  • the wipers 6, 7 are therefore preferably on their respective drive roller 1, 2 adjustable to wear To effect stripping only when the metal strip 3 is pushed. As soon as in the metal band 3 behind the driving rollers 1, 2 a train is built, the wipers 6, 7 from their drive rollers 1, 2 pivoted.
  • the metal strip 3 is, as already mentioned, by means of Driving device 1, 2 conveyed out of the roller table 4 and in promoted an initial guide channel 5. At the end of it for example, a reel (not shown) is arranged, by means of which the metal strip 3 is wound up.
  • the metal strip 3 has a finite length and thus also a length Band end 3 '. Immediately behind the tape end 3 'runs the beginning of the strip 8 'of a subsequent metal strip 8 in the roller conveyor 4. This subsequent metal band 8 - or already its beginning 8 '- must be in a final guide channel 9 are redirected, next to the initial guide channel 5 runs.
  • the end guide channel 9 is clearly such arranged next to the initial guide channel 5 that the tops I of the metal strips 3, 8 facing the end guide channel 9 and the undersides II of the metal strips 3, 8 from End guide channel 9 are facing away as long as the metal strip 3rd passes through the initial guide channel 5.
  • the deflection device has a back-loading device 11 on.
  • the medium 12 can For example, be compressed air or water under pressure.
  • the bottom is Actuation device 11 arranged on the lower wiper 7.
  • the deflection device also points an upper loading device 13, by means of which the top I of the metal strips 3, 8 with the medium 12 is acted upon.
  • the top loading device 13 on the corresponding upper wiper 6 arranged.
  • the deflection device described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4 is used, for example, in a multi-reel system.
  • a multi-reel system there is an alternation of one coiled up by two stationary reels. at a rotor reel system, however, as shown in Figure 5 the reel always starts at the same one Place, labeled A in Figure 5.
  • the reel rotor with the two reel mandrels becomes the first turns A and B pivoted to position B.
  • the Most of the metal strip 3 coiled During the swiveling process the second, empty reel mandrel B becomes position A pivoted in order to be able to rewind the following tape 8.
  • the metal strip 3 therefore always runs through the start guide channel 5.
  • the switch 10 a round tip 15 on. Already by rounding off the Tip 15 will most certainly damage the Band end 3 'avoided. The risk of damage to the Band end 3 'is even lower when the turnout tip 15, as shown in Figure 6, rotatable in the switch 10 is stored.
