Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tape storage for metal strips according to the preamble of claim 1 (see for example US-A-5 601 250), in particular a spiral band storage for thicker steel bands made of one working in tape section lengths Crosswelding system continuously fed to a processing plant are.
  • Tape stores for rolled metal strips are available in a variety for thinner tape thicknesses known.
  • a horizontal strip storage for steel strip is known (DE 198 38 780 A1), which uses a horizontally movable loop wagon.
  • tape storage sets a sufficient bending ability of the stored Steel strip ahead, so that the tape storage only the claims for thinner Bandgut serves.
  • Another tape storage (DE 196 50 997) works while vertical, But also requires very thin strip thicknesses in a sling tower, in whose Shoring the band in loops at lower and upper synchronously vertically to each other guided to and away from each other movable horizontal roller bridges is. This design also requires a metal strip easily bendable around the rollers, which would not be useful for thicker steel bands.
  • a strip accumulator in particular for sheet-metal strips, is known (EP 0 076 245) providing two coaxial roller baskets mounted in a common frame, whose rotatably mounted rollers are parallel to the horizontal axis of the basket. Out close to the roller baskets there are short S-loops, which have a high bending capacity presuppose the metal strip, so that with increasing thickness of the metal strip this device would also no longer be used.
  • the invention is based on the object, one between a strip welding machine and a belt processor switched on in a belt processing system in such a way that that even thicker metal bands, especially steel bands, on the curvature brought the storage diameter and again out of the memory and stretched the processing plant can be supplied.
  • the task is according to the invention solved by a tape storage with the features of claim 1.
  • a tape storage with the features of claim 1.
  • advantageously is also a curvature of thicker metal bands on the radius of the outer basket relatively easy to reach without special auxiliary devices and the inner basket is with the bending device in a position, even thicker metal bands in one Loop over the stored metal band back into the stretched position in the Metal strip spout to bend.
  • the tape store can be used for thicknesses of approx. 4 - 25 mm be used.
  • the bending device within of the outer basket and is arranged on the inner basket. This will turn off the loop out the metal band again in a stretched starting position.
  • a special application is given by that the processing plant consists of a tube welding machine. Of the Belt storage here catches and stops the cross-weld system supplies the processing plant continuously with metal strip.
  • the looping between outer basket and inner basket is further carried out in such a way that in the inner basket, forming an approximately helical plane, a plurality of guide rollers for the metal strip is arranged.
  • the height distance, which is caused by the helix, is for the passing away of the metal strip over the band edge of the metal band of a largest, to be stored Metal bandwidth determined.
  • the location and the course of the helical plane of the guide rollers can be significantly influenced by the helical plane is arranged eccentrically to the inner basket and / or the outer basket.
  • An embodiment further consists in that with the metal strip outlet, to helical plane, outside the outer basket, a Twistrollenbock is arranged, which together with at least one other Twistrollenbock and a downstream extender driver forms the metal band spout. Thereby can be the original horizontal on the side of the metal strip inlet Bandlage be set again.
  • Analog to the metal strip outlet side is provided that in the metal strip inlet of the Outdoor basket through the horizontal metal strip by means of a driver station one or more Twistrollenböcke is eligible. At the inlet of the metal band in the outer basket of the metal band is thereby placed on the band edge, which at thicker band regularly no dangers of any band damage means.
  • This station can serve as a starting point for further action.
  • at least at the entrance and / or at the exit with their axes vertically arranged pairs of rollers for the metal strip are provided and that at the entrance adjustable at least in height Guide rollers are provided for different bandwidths.
  • the band memory is used for metal bands 1, in particular as a spiral band memory for thicker steel strips whose thickness is approximately between 4 and 25 mm and which consist of a working in tape section lengths, not shown, known Transverse welding plant of a processing plant, also not shown, which adjoins a metal belt outlet 6, are supplied.
  • the metal strip 1 coming from the transverse welding installation is in the Metallbandeinlauf 5 an outer basket 2 fed to the band edge 1 a pivoted and stored in the outer basket 2 and in the position of the beginning of the Metallbandauslaufs 6 again stretched by means of a bending device 4, so that the metal strip 1 in the metal belt outlet 6 of the mentioned processing plant, such as e.g. one Pipe welding plant, can be fed continuously.
  • This is the metal band 1 by means of a helical plane 7 via the stored in the outer basket 2 Metal band 1 away in the metal belt outlet 6 out.
  • the measure of Elevation of the helical plane 7 depends on the widest Metal band 1 to be stored in the tape memory.
  • the saved Metal strip 21 is located between the two dash-dotted lines in Fig. 2. It can generally e.g. stored up to 30 turns or more.
  • the bending device 4 is disposed within the outer basket 2 namely on the inner basket 3, wherein, if necessary, even more bending devices 4 can be located on the inner basket 3, all together or some only individually controlled switched on or off.
  • the tape guide is shown in FIG. 2 designed such that around the inner basket 3 a approximately helical plane 7 for the metal strip 1 of a variety of Guide rollers 8 is formed. It is about the outer circumference of the inner basket 3 the metal band inlet 5 for the metal strip 1 on the outer basket 2 diametrically opposite the last guide roller 8 vertically formed and aligned with the Metal belt outlet 6 aligned.
  • the inner basket 3 is eccentric to the outer basket 2 arranged with a first eccentricity 22 and a perpendicular thereto second eccentricity 23.
  • the metal belt outlet 6 of the inner basket 3 (FIG. 4) runs in alignment with a twin roller block 9, which together with at least one other Twistrollenbock 10 and a subsequent extension driver 11 form the metal strip outlet 6.
  • metal band inlet 5 of the outer basket 2 is the arriving in a horizontal position metal band 1 by means of a driver station 12 and by one or more Twistrollenböcke 10 promoted.
  • tangential metal band inlet 5 to the outer basket 2 is in the transport direction 13 before the outer basket 2 a Eintreiberstation 14 arranged ( Figures 2 and 4).
  • this driver station 14 are at least at the entrance 15 and / or at the exit 16 with their Axes 17 vertically arranged pairs of rollers 18 for the lateral guidance of the metal strip 1 stored.
  • At the entrance 15 are also adjustable at least in height Guide rollers 19 arranged for different bandwidths 20.
  • rollers 18 and guide rollers 8 and / or 19 can be equipped with a rotary drive.
