Abstract

The method for changing reels (3) for a winding machine (1) arranged in a row (A) comprises preparing reels for fitting and placing them in a second row (B) behind the first. A conveyor (10) runs between the two rows and empty reels (7) are withdrawn from the machine across the conveyor and moved to a third row (C) at the opposite end of it to the other two rows. A prepared reel is then moved across the conveyor and fitted on to the machine. An Independent claim is included for a system for carrying out the method.

Description

Die Erfindung liegt im Bereich der Förder- und Lagertechnik und betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung nach den Oberbegriffen der entsprechenden, unabhängigen Patentansprüche. Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren und die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung dienen zum Auswechseln von Wickelständern an einer Reihe von im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordneten, Wickelvorrichtungen. Die Wickelständer tragen je einen Wickelkern, auf den eine Vielzahl von biegbaren, flachen Gegenständen (z.B. Druckprodukte) mit Hilfe eines Wickelbandes zu einem Wickel aufgewickelt werden kann. Die Wickelvorrichtungen wickeln Gegenstände von Wickeln auf Wickelständern ab oder erstellen Wickel durch Aufwickeln von Gegenständen auf den Wickelkern von Wickelständern.The invention is in the field of conveyor and storage technology and relates to a method and a device according to the preambles of the corresponding independent claims. The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention are used to replace changing stands on a number of essentially winding devices arranged parallel to each other. The changing stands each carry a winding core on which a large number of bendable, flat objects (e.g. Printed products) with the help of a winding tape to a roll can. The wrappers wrap objects from wraps on reel stands or create windings by winding objects onto the winding core from Roll supports.

In der Druckereiindustrie ist es bekannt, Druckprodukte oder Teile davon für Zwischenlagerung oder Transport in Schuppenformation mit Hilfe eines Wickelbandes auf einen Wickelkern aufzuwickeln, die Wickel zu transportieren und/oder zwischenzulagem und bei Bedarf die Druckprodukte für eine Weiterverarbeitung wieder als Schuppenformation von den Wickeln abzuwickeln. Die genannten Wickel haben üblicherweise einen Durchmesser bis zu zwei Metern und wiegen bis zu einer Tonne. Die axiale Breite derartiger Wickel entspricht im wesentlichen der Breite der aufgewickelten Produkte und beträgt beispielsweise 30 bis 50 cm. In the printing industry it is known to print products or parts thereof for intermediate storage or transport in scale formation with the help of a winding tape winding a winding core, transporting the winding and / or intermediate storage and if necessary the printed products for further processing again as a scale formation to unwind from the wraps. The mentioned windings usually have up to two meters in diameter and weighing up to a ton. The axial The width of such coils essentially corresponds to the width of the wound products and is for example 30 to 50 cm.

Für das Wechseln von Wickeln bzw. Wickelkernen an Wickelvorrichtungen werden entweder Wickel und leere Wickelkerne an sich (ohne weitere Hilfsmittel) gehandhabt oder es kommen sogenannte Wickelständer zur Anwendung, die einen Wickel oder einen leeren Wickelkern tragen. Die Wickelständer sind üblicherweise einfache, mobile, gegebenenfalls passiv verfahrbare Vorrichtungen, an denen ein Wickelkern frei um eine horizontale Achse drehbar angeordnet ist. Üblicherweise weisen die Wickelständer auch Vorrichtungen zum Auf- und Abwickeln des Wickelbandes auf. Auf den Wickelkern eines "leeren Wickelständers" sind keine Druckprodukte aufgewickelt, ein "beladener Wickelständer" trägt einen Wickel von Druckprodukten.For changing windings or winding cores on winding devices either wraps and empty wrapping cores are handled per se (without further aids) or so-called winding stands are used, which have a winding or a wear empty winding core. The changing stands are usually simple, mobile, optionally passively movable devices on which a winding core freely around a horizontal axis is rotatably arranged. The winding stands usually have also devices for winding and unwinding the winding tape. On the winding core an "empty reel stand" no printed products are wound up, a "loaded one Wrapping Stand "carries a wrap of printed products.

Beispiele von Wickelständern sind beispielsweise beschrieben in den Publikationen DE-3236866 (oder US-4587790), EP-0149058 (oder US-4676496), EP-0242607 (oder US-4703901), EP-0719720 (US-5673869), A oder GB 2 170 793 gemäss dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 und 8.Examples of changing stands are described, for example, in the publications DE-3236866 (or US-4587790), EP-0149058 (or US-4676496), EP-0242607 (or US-4703901), EP-0719720 (US-5673869), A or GB 2 170 793 according to the preamble of Claims 1 and 8.

Wickelständer und Wickelvorrichtungen sind üblicherweise derart aneinander angepasst, dass die Druckprodukte direkt ab einem daran angekoppelten Wickelständer abgewickelt oder direkt auf den Wickelkern eines solchen Wickelständers aufgewickelt werden können. Dazu wird der Wickelständer auf einer der Wegführung bzw. Zuführung der Schuppenformation entgegengesetzten Seite der Wickelvorrichtung positioniert und an diese gekoppelt, wobei der Wickel bzw. der Wickelkern üblicherweise auf die Richtung der Wegführung bzw. Zuführung der Produkte ausgerichtet ist aus Platzgründen gegen diese aber auch leicht abgewinkelt sein kann.Winding stands and winding devices are usually matched to one another in such a way that the printed products are processed directly from a winding stand attached to it or wound directly onto the winding core of such a winding stand can be. To do this, the winding stand is placed on one of the pathways or feeders positioned opposite the scale formation of the winding device and coupled to it, the winding or the winding core usually on the direction of the routing or feeding of the products is oriented for reasons of space can also be slightly angled against them.

Wickelvorrichtungen sind beispielsweise entlang von Verarbeitungsstrecken (z.B. Sammeltrommeln, Zusammentragvorrichtungen) angeordnet und dienen dazu, je ein Teilprodukt ab Wickeln in die Verarbeitung zuzuführen. Entlang der Verarbeitungsstrecke entstehen aus je einer Mehrzahl der Teilprodukte fertige Druckprodukte. Die Zuführungsrichtung für die Teilprodukte ist dabei üblicherweise im wesentlichen quer zur Verarbeitungsstrecke ausgerichtet und die Wickelvorrichtungen sind auf einer Seite oder auf beiden Seiten der Verarbeitungsstrecke in einer oder zwei Reihen angeordnet, wobei die an die Wickelvorrichtungen angekoppelten Wickelständer eine Wickelständerreihe bilden, die im wesentlichen parallel zur Reihe der Wickelvorrichtungen verläuft.Winders are e.g. along processing lines (e.g. Collecting drums, collating devices) arranged and serve one each Feed the partial product into the processing from winding. Along the processing line finished print products are created from a majority of the sub-products. The The feed direction for the partial products is usually essentially transverse aligned to the processing line and the winding devices are on one side or arranged in one or two rows on both sides of the processing line, the winding stand coupled to the winding devices being a winding stand row form, which is substantially parallel to the row of winding devices.

Aus verschiedenen Gründen ist es wünschenswert, dass derartige Verarbeitungsstrecken möglichst kurz sind. Das heisst für die Wickelvorrichtungen, dass sie in Richtung der Verarbeitungsstrecke, d.h. quer zur Zuführungsrichtung, so schmal wie möglich sein sollten. Dies gilt dann auch für die Wickelständer und bedeutet auch eine Beschränkung des Platzes, der für das Wechseln der Wickelständer zur Verfügung steht.For various reasons, it is desirable that such processing lines are as short as possible. For the winding devices, this means that they move in the direction of the Processing line, i.e. across the feed direction, as narrow as possible should. This also applies to the changing stand and also means a limitation the space available for changing the changing stand.

Wickelständer werden gemäss dem Stande der Technik beispielsweise manipuliert und transportiert, indem sie an geeignete Fahrzeuge angekoppelt oder durch Ladegabeln von entsprechenden Fahrzeugen angehoben werden. Für das Wechseln von Wickelständern an Wickelvorrichtungen eignet sich eine derartige Manipulation nur dann, wenn an die Wechselgeschwindigkeit und an den Automatisierungsgrad keine hohen Ansprüche gestellt werden, wenn der Platz, an dem die Wickelständer gelagert werden, relativ weit von den Wickelvorrichtungen entfernt ist und/oder häufig wechselt und wenn für das Rangieren mit dem Fahrzeug im Bereich der Wickelvorrichtungen genügend Platz vorhanden ist.Winding stands are manipulated and, for example, according to the prior art transported by being coupled to suitable vehicles or by loading forks from corresponding vehicles are raised. For changing changing stands Such manipulation on winding devices is only suitable if the Change speed and no high demands on the degree of automation if the space where the changing stands are stored is relatively wide is removed from the winding devices and / or changes frequently and if for that There is enough space for maneuvering with the vehicle in the area of the winding devices is.

Wenn in der näheren Umgebung der Wickelvorrichtungen Lagerplatz für die Lagerung von Wickelständern permanent zur Verfügung steht, ist es vorteilhaft, für das Wechseln der Wickelständer und gleichzeitig auch für das Ein- und Auslagern spezialisierte und mit festen Installationen verbundene Einrichtungen für die Manipulation der Wickelständer vorzusehen, wie dies beispielsweise in der Publikation EP-0950626 beschrieben ist. If in the vicinity of the winding devices storage space for storage of changing stands is permanently available, it is advantageous for changing the changing stand and at the same time specialized for storage and retrieval and Devices associated with fixed installations for the manipulation of the winding stand to provide, as described for example in the publication EP-0950626 is.

Es ist auch bekannt, beispielsweise aus der Publikation EP-0527702 (oder US-5379963 ), die sich mit dem Wechseln von Wickeln (nicht Wickelständern) an Wickelvorrichtungen befasst, den effektiven Wickelwechsel mit festen Installationen durchzuführen, für Transport und Lagerung aber frei verfahrbare Fahrzeuge zu benützen und dazwischen, vorteilhafterweise so nahe wie möglich bei den Wickelvorrichtungen entsprechend ausgerüstete Umschalgplätze einzurichten.It is also known, for example from publication EP-0527702 (or US-5379963 ), which involves changing coils (not changing stands) on winding devices deals with the effective winding change with fixed installations, to use freely movable vehicles for transport and storage and in between, advantageously as close as possible to the winding devices accordingly to equip equipped transfer areas.

Die Erfindung stellt sich nun die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren aufzuzeigen und eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, mit denen Wickelständer an einer Reihe von Wickelvorrichtungen ausgewechselt werden können, wobei an den Wickelvorrichtungen einzusetzende Wikkelständer mit anderen geeigneten Mitteln in den Bereich der Wickelvorrichtungen transportiert und dort für den Wechsel bereitgestellt werden und wobei von den Wikkelvorrichtungen entlassene Wickelständer unmittelbar nach dem effektiven Wechsel für einen Abtransport, für den andere geeignete Mittel eingesetzt werden, positioniert werden. Verfahren und Einrichtung gemäss Erfindung sollen es ermöglichen, den Wikkelständer-Wechsel sehr schnell durchzuführen, so dass auch mit einer Pufferkapazität zwischen Wickel und Verarbeitung oder Wegführung eine unterbruchslose Verarbeitung bzw. Wegführung möglich ist. Trotzdern soll das Verfahren und die Einrichtung einfach und platzsparend und in bekannte Verfahren für Transport und Lagerung von Wickelständem problemlos integrierbar sein.The object of the invention is to demonstrate a method and a device to create, with which changing stands on a number of winding devices can be exchanged, winding stands to be used on the winding devices with other suitable means in the area of the winding devices transported and made available there for the change and being from the winding devices dismissed changing stand immediately after the effective change positioned for removal, for which other suitable means are used become.

Die Wickelachsen der bereitgestellten Wickelständer sind beispielsweise Richtung der Wickelständerreihen ausgerichtet und auch aufeinander ausgerichtet, so dass die Wickelkerne im wesentlichen koaxial angeordnet sind. Die Transportgasse zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Wickelständerreihe hat eine Breite, die grösser ist als die Ausdehnung der Wickelständer quer zur Wickelachse.According to the invention for the replacement of winding stands that are on a number of Winding devices are coupled (first winding stand row), further winding stands in a second winding stand row, which is essentially parallel to the first winding stand row and is arranged at a distance from it by a transport lane, provided such that the winding or winding core of each winding stand provided has a suitable orientation for the coupling and that Winding device is aligned to which it is to be coupled. The winding axes The winding stands provided are for example the direction of the rows of winding stands aligned and also aligned with each other so that the winding cores essentially are arranged coaxially. The transport lane between the first and the the second winding stand row has a width that is greater than the extension of the Winding stand perpendicular to the winding axis.

Für einen Wickelständer-Wechsel wird gemäss Erfindung wie folgt vorgegangen: Der an der Wickelvorrichtung angekoppelte Wickelständer wird von dieser entkoppelt und quer zur ersten Wickelständerreihe von dieser weg in die Transportgasse und dann im wesentlichen parallel dazu entlang der Transportgasse bis zu deren Ende transportiert, wo er für einen Wegtransport in einer an das Ende der Transportgasse anschliessenden und sich in etwa derselben Richtung erstreckenden, dritten Wickelständerreihe positioniert wird. Während dem Transport des zu entfernenden Wickelständers entlang der Transportgasse wird der für die betreffende Wickelvorrichtung in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe bereitgestellte Wickelständer quer zu seiner Wickelachse über die Transportgasse an die Wickelvorrichtung (in die erste Wickelständerreihe) bewegt und an dieser angekoppelt.For a changing of the winding stand, the procedure according to the invention is as follows: The coupled to the winding device is decoupled from this and transverse to the first row of winding stands away from this into the transport lane and then in essentially transported in parallel along the transport lane to its end, where he is for a transport away in one of the following at the end of the transport lane and positioned in approximately the same direction, extending third winding stand row becomes. During the transport of the winding stand to be removed along the The transport lane becomes that for the relevant winding device in the second row of winding stands provided winding stand across its winding axis across the transport lane to the winding device (in the first row of winding stands) and on this coupled.

Offensichtlich können Wickelwechsel an verschiedenen Wickelvorrichtungen der Reihe gleichzeitig oder einander zeitlich überschneidend durchgeführt werden. Für schnelle Wickelwechsel ist dafür zu sorgen, dass der Transport der von Wickelvorrichtungen entfernten Wickelständer entlang der Transportgasse den prioritär zu handhabenden Transport der einzusetzenden Wickelständer über die Transportgasse nicht stört. Je nach Länge der Transportgasse bzw. Zahl der Wickelvorrichtungen und je nach Häufigkeit der Wickelständer-Wechsel, mag es vorteilhaft sein, die Transportschritte quer zur Transportgasse und entlang der Transportgasse auf verschiedenen Niveaus durchzuführen, derart, dass sie voneinander im wesentlichen unabhängig sind. Ebenso ist es denkbar, an beiden Enden der Transportgasse dritte Wickelständerreihen vorzusehen und den Transport entlang der Transportgasse in beiden Richtungen zu ermöglichen.Obviously, winding changes can be made on various winding devices in the range be carried out simultaneously or overlapping each other. For quick Winding change is to ensure that the transportation of the winding devices removed winding stand along the transport lane the priority to be handled Transport of the changing stand to be used over the transport alley does not interfere. ever depending on the length of the transport aisle or number of winding devices and depending on the frequency changing the winding stand, it may be advantageous to move the transport steps across to the transport lane and along the transport lane at different levels, such that they are essentially independent of one another. It is the same conceivable to provide third rows of winding stands at both ends of the transport lane and to enable transportation along the transport lane in both directions.

Die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung weist im wesentlichen zwei Transportmittel auf: ein Quertransportmittel, mit dem bereitgestellte Wickelständer über die Transportgasse zu der vorgegebenen Wickelvorrichtung und wegzuführende Wickelständer von der Wickelvorrichtung auf die Transportgasse bewegt werden, und ein Längstransportmittel, mit dem wegzuführende Wickelständer entlang der Transportgasse zur dritten Wikkelständerreihe transportiert und in dieser positioniert werden.The device according to the invention essentially has two means of transport: a transversal means of transport with the provided winding stand over the transport lane to the specified winding device and winding stand to be removed from the Winding device can be moved to the transport lane, and a longitudinal conveyor, with the changing stand to be taken along the transport lane to the third row of winding stands transported and positioned in this.

Für die Bereitstellung der an den Wickelvorrichtungen anzukoppelnden Wickelständer, die nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung ist, können beispielsweise frei verfahrbare Hubstapler oder andere, für die verwendeten Wickelständer geeignete Fahrzeuge eingesetzt werden. Dieselben Fahrzeuge werden vorteilhafterweise auch verwendet für den Wegtransport der in der dritten Wickelständerreihe am Ende der Transportgasse positionierten Wickelständer, wobei auch dieser Wegtransport nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung ist.For the provision of the winding stands to be coupled to the winding devices, which is not the subject of the invention can, for example, freely movable lift trucks or other vehicles suitable for the winding stand used become. The same vehicles are advantageously also used for the transport away the one positioned in the third row of winding stands at the end of the transport lane Winding stand, this transport away is not the subject of the invention is.

Die Funktionsschritte von Quer- und Längstransportmittel für einen Wickelständer-Wechsel sind die folgenden:

  • Das Quertransportmittel ergreift einen von der Wickelvorrichtung entkoppelten Wickelständer der ersten Wickelständerreihe und verschiebt ihn in die Transportgasse;
  • der von der Wickelvorrichtung entfernte Wickelständer wird vom Längstransportmittel übernommen und entlang der Transportgasse gegen die dritte Wikkelständerreihe wegtransportiert;
  • gleichzeitig ergreift das Querfördermittel den entsprechenden, in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe bereitgestellten Wickelständer und transportiert ihn über die Transportgasse in die erste Wickelständerreihe.
The functional steps of transverse and longitudinal conveyors for changing the reel stand are as follows:
  • The transverse transport means grasps a winding stand of the first row of winding stands which is decoupled from the winding device and moves it into the transport lane;
  • the winding stand removed from the winding device is taken over by the longitudinal transport means and transported away along the transport lane against the third row of winding stands;
  • at the same time, the cross conveyor grips the corresponding winding stand provided in the second winding stand row and transports it via the transport lane into the first winding stand row.

Das Längstransportmittel weist vorteilhafterweise ein sich über die ganze Länge der Transportgasse und der daran anschliessenden, dritten Wickelständerreihe erstreckendes Transportorgan auf, zum Beispiel ein Transportband oder eine Rollenbahn, derart, dass ihm Wickelständer von beliebigen Wickelvorrichtungen auch gleichzeitig übergeben und gleichzeitig damit transportiert werden können.The longitudinal transport means advantageously has a the entire length of the Transport aisle and the adjoining third row of winding stands Transport organ on, for example a conveyor belt or a roller conveyor, such that hand him the winding stand from any winding device at the same time and can be transported at the same time.

Das Quertransportmittel ist vorteilhafterweise modular aufgebaut, wobei für jede Wikkelvorrichtung oder für je eine kleine Gruppe von benachbarten Wickelvorrichtungen ein individuell betreibbares Querfördermodul vorgesehen ist. Die Querfördermodule können beispielsweise als Rollenbahn oder als an einer Schiene in zwei Richtungen verfahrbares Hebezeug ausgestaltet sein.The transverse transport means is advantageously of modular construction, with each winding device or for a small group of adjacent winding devices an individually operable cross conveyor module is provided. The cross conveyor modules can, for example, as a roller conveyor or as movable in two directions on a rail Be designed hoist.

Im Bereiche der Transportgasse ist mit geeigneten Mitteln dafür zu sorgen, dass Quertransportmittel und Längstransportmittel einander nicht stören. Dabei müssen vom Quertransportmittel gegen die Wickelvorrichtungen bewegte Wickelständer das Längstransportmittel ungehindert kreuzen können, möglichst auch dann, wenn das Längstransportmittel in Betrieb ist. Ferner müssen wegzuführende Wickelständer vom Quertransportmittel an das Längstransportmittel übergeben werden können und müssen vom Längstransportmittel entlang der Transportgasse bewegte Wickelständer das Quertransportmittel im Bereiche anderer wickelverarbeitender Vorrichtungen kreuzen können.In the area of the transport lane, suitable means must be used to ensure that transversal means of transport and longitudinal conveyors do not interfere with each other. Thereby from Cross transport means against the winding devices moved the winding stand Longitudinal transport means can cross freely, if possible even if that Longitudinal means of transport is in operation. Furthermore, winding stands to be removed from Transverse means of transport can and must be handed over to the longitudinal means of transport winding stand moved by the longitudinal conveyor along the transport lane Cross transversal means of transport in the area of other winding processing devices can.

Die geforderten Bedingungen sind am einfachsten erfüllbar, wenn von Quer- und Längstransportmittel das eine im wesentlichen von unten (Transport durch Aufstellen), das andere im wesentlichen von oben (Transport durch Anhängen) wirkt.The required conditions are easiest to meet if from cross and Longitudinal means of transport the one essentially from below (transport by setting up), the other works essentially from above (transport by attaching).

Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen aus der Vogelschau (Figur 1) und in einer dreidimensionalen Darstellung (Figur 2) eine sehr schematisch dargestellte, erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung, die dem Wickelständer-Wechsel an einer Reihe von im wesentlichen zueinander parallel angeordneten Wickelvorrichtungen 1 dient. Die Wickelvorrichtungen sind Zuführungen zu einem Verarbeitungssystem, beispielsweise zu einer Verarbeitungstrommel 2 (Sammeltrommel, Sammel-Hefttrommel, Einstecktrommel etc.) und weisen zwischen einem angekoppelten Wickelständer 3 und der Abgabe in die Verarbeitungstrommel 2 einen Pufferspeicher 4 auf, dessen Kapazität an die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit und an die für einen Wickelwechsel benötigte Zeit angepasst ist. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a bird's eye view (FIG. 1) and a three-dimensional representation (FIG. 2) of a very schematically illustrated device according to the invention, which is used to change the reel stand on a series of winding devices 1 arranged essentially parallel to one another. The winding devices are feeds to a processing system, for example to a processing drum 2 (collecting drum, collecting stapling drum, inserting drum etc.) and have a buffer memory 4 between a coupled winding stand 3 and the delivery into the processing drum 2, the capacity of which depends on the processing speed and the time required for a lap change is adjusted.

Die Wickelständer 3 weisen beispielsweise einen von einer Traggabel anhebbaren Träger 5 auf, an dem mit Hilfe eines schwenkbaren Hebels 6 ein Wickelkern 7 um die Wickelachse drehbar angeordnet ist.The winding stand 3 has, for example, a carrier which can be raised by a carrying fork 5, on which, with the aid of a pivotable lever 6, a winding core 7 around the Winding axis is rotatably arranged.

Die an die wickelverarbeitenden Vorrichtungen 1 angekoppelten Wickelständer 3, die eine erste Wickelständerreihe A bilden, tragen Wickel 8, deren Grösse dauernd abnimmt. Die für Wickelwechsel bereitgestellten Wickelständer 3 bilden eine zweite Wickelständerreihe B, die parallel zur ersten Wickelständerreihe A verläuft und von dieser durch die Transportgasse 10 getrennt ist Diese Wickelständer sind normalerweise mit einem Wickel 8 beladen. Die von den wickelverarbeitenden Vorrichtungen 1 entfernten Wickelständer 3 sind am Ende der Transportgasse 10 in einer dritten Wickelständerreihe C für den Abtransport positioniert und sind üblicherweise leer, können aber auch einen Restwickel tragen.The coupled to the winding processing devices 1 winding stand 3, the form a first winding stand row A, wear winding 8, the size of which decreases continuously. The winding stands 3 provided for winding changes form a second one Winding stand row B, which runs parallel to the first winding stand row A and from this is separated by the transport lane 10 These winding stands are normal loaded with a wrap 8. The removed from the winding processing devices 1 Winding stands 3 are at the end of the transport lane 10 in a third winding stand row C positioned for removal and are usually empty, can but also wear a residual wrap.

Die für Wickelständer-Wechsel an den wickelverarbeitenden Vorrichtungen notwendigen Transportschritte sind mit Pfeilen angedeutet: ausgefüllte Pfeile Q für die Quertransportschritte, in denen bereitgestellte Wickelständer 3 von der zweiten Wickelständerreihe B in die Ankoppelungsposition (erste Wickelständerreihe A) transportiert werden und unausgefüllte Pfeile QL für den aus einem Quertransportschritt und einem Längstransportschritt bestehenden Transport von Wickelständem aus der ersten Wikkelständerreihe A in die dritte Wickelständerreihe C. The necessary for changing the winding stand on the winding processing devices Transport steps are indicated with arrows: solid arrows Q for the cross transport steps, in which provided winding stand 3 from the second row of winding stands B can be transported to the coupling position (first winding stand row A) and blank arrows QL for the one transport step and one Longitudinal transport step existing transport of winding stands from the first series of winding stands A in the third row of changing stands C.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind die Wickelständerreihen geradlinig und parallel zueinander angeordnet, die Wickelachsen sind parallel zu den Wickelständerreihen ausgerichtet und die Wickelkerne der Wickelständer sind in diesen Reihen koaxial angeordnet. Dies sind aber keine Bedingungen für das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren. Dagegen ist es eine Bedingung für das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren, dass die in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe B bereitgestellten Wickelständer dieselbe Orientierung haben wie die Wickelständer in der ersten Wickelständerreihe A und je auf eine Wickelvorrichtung ausgerichtet sind.In Figures 1 and 2, the winding stand rows are straight and parallel to each other arranged, the winding axes are aligned parallel to the winding stand rows and the winding cores of the winding stands are arranged coaxially in these rows. This but are not conditions for the inventive method. In contrast, it is one Condition for the method according to the invention that in the second row of winding stands B provided winding stand have the same orientation as the winding stand in the first winding stand row A and each aligned to a winding device are.

Für die Bereitstellung der Wickelständer 3 (Pfeile D) in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe B, welche Bereitstellung für die Erfindung nicht relevant ist, und gegebenenfalls auch für deren Positionierung in der Ankoppelungsposition (erste Wickelständer A) sind seitliche Führungen 11 vorgesehen. Für die Positionierung der wegzuführenden Wikkelständer 3 am Ende der Transportgasse 10 (dritte Wickelständerreihe C) ist ein Stopp 12 vorgesehen, auf den die Wickelständer 3 für die Positionierung aufgeschoben werden.For the provision of the changing stand 3 (arrows D) in the second row of changing stands B, which provision is not relevant to the invention, and possibly also for their positioning in the coupling position (first winding stand A) lateral guides 11 are provided. For the positioning of the winding stands to be removed 3 at the end of the transport lane 10 (third winding stand row C) is a stop 12 is provided, onto which the winding stand 3 is pushed for positioning.

Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung mit Blickrichtung parallel zur Transportgasse (Figur 3), was insbesondere das Quertransportmittel sichtbar macht, und mit Blickwinkel quer zur Transportgasse (Figur 4), was die Modularität des Quertransportmittels und das Längstransportmittel sichtbar macht. Das modular ausgebildete Quertransportmittel weist für jede Wickelvorrichtung ein Quertransportmodul 20 auf mit einer über dem Transportniveau angeordneten Querschiene 21, entlang der je ein hängendes Hebezeug 22 mit einer anhebbaren Traggabel 23 hin und her verfahrbar ist Das Hebezeug 22 ist derart ausgebildet, dass es seitlich an beladenen Wickelständem 3 vorbeibewegt oder über diese angehoben werden kann. FIGS. 3 and 4 show an exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention with a direction of view parallel to the transport lane (FIG. 3), which in particular makes the transverse transport means visible, and with an angle transverse to the transport lane (FIG. 4), which makes the modularity of the transverse transport means and the longitudinal transport means visible. The modularly designed transverse transport means has a transverse transport module 20 for each winding device with a transverse rail 21 arranged above the transport level, along which a hanging hoist 22 with a lifting fork 23 can be moved back and forth. The hoist 22 is designed such that it is loaded laterally Winding stand 3 moved past or can be lifted over this.

Für das Ergreifen eines Wickelständers in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe B wird das Hebezeug 22 in einer Konfiguration, in der es seitlich an einem bereitgestellten Wickelständer vorbei oder über diesen hinweg bewegbar ist, jenseits dieser Reihe positioniert (in Figur 3 strichpunktiert dargestellt) und in eine Transportkonfiguration gebracht. Dann wird der Wickelständer 3 mit der Traggabel 23 unterfahren und in eine Transportstellung angehoben. Die Transportstellung wird dabei beispielsweise derart gewählt, dass das Hebezeug 22 mit dem Wickelständer 3 ohne weitere Stellungsveränderung das Längstransportmittel 30 überfahren kann. In der Ankopplungsposition (erste Wickelständerreihe A) wird die Hebegabel 23 mit dem zu positionierenden Wickelständer 3 abgesenkt und die Hebegabel wird ausgefahren.For gripping a winding stand in the second winding stand row B, this is Hoist 22 in a configuration in which it is laterally attached to a reel stand is movable over or over it, positioned beyond this row (shown in dot-dash lines in FIG. 3) and brought into a transport configuration. Then the winding stand 3 with the carrying fork 23 is passed under and into a transport position raised. The transport position is chosen, for example, that the hoist 22 with the winding stand 3 without any further change in position Longitudinal transport means 30 can run over. In the coupling position (first row of winding stands A) the lifting fork 23 with the winding stand 3 to be positioned lowered and the lifting fork is extended.

Das Längstransportmittel 30 ist in der in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform als umlaufendes Transportband ausgebildet. Es kann auch als Bahn von angetriebenen Rollen realisiert werden. Wenn die Rollenbahn gegen die dritte Wickelständerreihe C abfallend angeordnet ist, kann die Schwerkraft als Antrieb ausgenützt werden. Wenn die Wickelständer mit entsprechenden Laufrollen ausgerüstet sind, kann das Längstransportmittel auch als gegen die dritte Wickelständerreihe C abfallender Längsschienenstrang ausgebildet sein.The longitudinal transport means 30 is in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 designed as a rotating conveyor belt. It can also be powered by train Roles can be realized. If the roller conveyor against the third winding stand row C is arranged sloping, gravity can be used as a drive become. If the changing stands are equipped with appropriate rollers, can the longitudinal conveyor also descends towards the third row of winding stands C. Longitudinal rail track should be formed.

Für die Steuerung der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung gemäss Figuren 3 und 4 sind zusätzlich zu Mitteln, mit denen ein notwendiger Wickelständerwechsel detektiert und initialisiert wird, Mittel zur Steuerung des Quertransport-Hebezeugs (Vorbeifahrkonfiguration - Transportkonfiguration und angehobene und abgesenkte Stellungen) notwendig sowie Mittel zur Steuerung des Längstransportmittels derart, dass darauf transportierte Wickelträger den Quertransport nicht stören. Dafür wird beispielsweise ein Längstransportband ganz angehalten, um an irgend einer Stelle einem Quertransport den Vortritt zu geben. Eine Rollenbahn mit angetriebenen Rollen kann örtlich desaktiviert werden, eine Bahn, auf der Wickelständer durch die Schwerkraft transportiert werden, kann örtlich durch einen entsprechenden Stopp unterbrochen werden. 3 and 4 for the control of the device according to the invention in addition to means with which a necessary change of the winding stand is detected and is initialized, means for controlling the cross transport hoist (pass-by configuration - Transport configuration and raised and lowered positions) necessary as well as means for controlling the longitudinal transport means in such a way that it is transported Winding carriers do not interfere with cross transport. For example, a Longitudinal conveyor belt stopped all the way to cross transport at any point to give way. A roller conveyor with driven rollers can be deactivated locally a track on which the winding stand is transported by gravity can be interrupted locally by a corresponding stop.

Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen eine weitere beispielhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung mit Blickwinkel parallel zur Transportgasse (Figur 5) und aus der Vogelschau (Figur 6). Das Längstransportmittel 30 weist ein Paar von schienenartigen Rollenbahnen auf. Das Quertransportmittel besteht wiederum aus einer Anzahl von Quertransportmodulen, die je einen bereitstellungsseitigen Zugwagen 40 mit einer darauf montierten, anhebbaren Rollenbahn 41, einen verarbeitungsseitigen Zugwagen 42 mit einer darauf montierten, anhebbaren Rollenbahn 41 und eine zwischen den Rollenbahnen des Längstransportmittels 30 stationär angeordnete, anhebbare Rollenbahn 43 auf. Wickelständer in der ersten oder zweiten Wickelständerreihe werden für den Transport bis zum Längstransportmittel von den entsprechenden Zugwagen unterfahren, angehoben (vorzugsweise direkt auf das Niveau der angehobenen, stationären Rollenbahn 43 und weggezogen. Dann werden sie auf die stationäre Rollenbahn 43 geschoben und für den Wegtransport auf das Längstransportmittel 30 abgesenkt oder für eine Positionierung in der ersten Wickelständerreihe A auf die angehobene Rollenbahn 41 des verarbeitungsseitigen Zugwagens 42 geschoben, durch diesen in der zweiten Wickelständerreihe A positioniert und abgesenkt. FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention with a viewing angle parallel to the transport lane (FIG. 5) and from the bird's eye view (FIG. 6). The longitudinal conveyor 30 has a pair of rail-like roller conveyors. The transverse transport means in turn consists of a number of transverse transport modules, each of which has a supply-side train carriage 40 with a liftable roller conveyor 41 mounted thereon, a processing-side train carriage 42 with a liftable roller conveyor 41 mounted thereon, and a liftable roller conveyor arranged between the roller conveyors of the longitudinal transport means 30 43 on. Winding stands in the first or second row of winding stands are moved underneath for the transport to the longitudinal transport means by the corresponding towing vehicles, raised (preferably directly to the level of the raised, stationary roller conveyor 43 and pulled away. Then they are pushed onto the stationary roller conveyor 43 and opened for the transport away the longitudinal transport means 30 is lowered or pushed for positioning in the first winding stand row A onto the raised roller conveyor 41 of the processing side pulling carriage 42, positioned and lowered by this in the second winding stand row A.

Figur 7 zeigt nochmals die Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung, wie sie bereits in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellt ist, wobei die Einrichtung in diesem Falle dem Wickelständer-Wechsel in einer Wickelvorrichtung dient, in der aus einer zugeführten Schuppenformation 50 von flachen, biegbaren Gegenständen Wickel 8 erzeugt werden. Der Betrieb der Einrichtung ist in diesem Falle an sich gleich wie für die im Zusammenhang mit den vorhergehenden Figuren durchgeführten Wickelständer-Wechsel, wobei die Beladung bzw. Leerheit der Wickelständer umgekehrt ist, das heisst, es müssen im wesentlichen volle Wickelständer 3, die einen Wickel 8 tragen von den Wickelvorrichtungen entfernt werden und Wickelständer 3 mit leeren Wickelkernen 7 dort eingesetzt werden. Wenn die leeren Wickelständer quer zur Wickelachse (also in Quertransportrichtung) eine kleinere Ausdehnung haben als beladene Wickelständer, wie dies für die in allen Figuren dargestellten Wickelständer der Fall ist, muss die Transportgasse 10 für den in der Figur 7 dargestellten Fall breiter sein als für den in den anderen dargestellten Fällen. FIG. 7 again shows the embodiment of the device according to the invention, as already shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the device in this case being used for changing the winding stand in a winding device in which windings of flat, bendable objects are wound from a supplied scale formation 8 are generated. The operation of the device in this case is basically the same as for the changing of the reel stand carried out in connection with the previous figures, the loading or emptiness of the reel stand being reversed, that is to say essentially full reel stands 3 which have one reel 8 bear from the winding devices are removed and winding stand 3 with empty winding cores 7 are used there. If the empty winding stands transverse to the winding axis (i.e. in the transverse transport direction) have a smaller extent than loaded winding stands, as is the case for the winding stands shown in all figures, the transport lane 10 must be wider for the case shown in FIG. 7 than for the case in the other cases shown.

Ein Vergleich der Figuren 5 und 7 zeigt auch, dass es ohne weiteres möglich ist, in einer Reihe von Wickelvorrichtungen, an denen nach dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren und mit der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung Wickelständer gewechselt werden, sowohl Wickel-verarbeitende als auch Wickel-produzierende Wickelvorrichtungen vorhanden sein können. In einem solchen Falle ist es nicht mehr unabdingbar, dass alle von Wickelvorrichtungen entfernten Wickelständer für einen Wegtransport in der dritten Wickelständerreihe C positioniert werden. Stattdessen können ausgewählte Wickelständer auch von einer Wickel-produzierenden Wickelvorrichtung durch einen Quertransportschritt von der Wickelvorrichtung entfernt, in einem Längstransportschritt in den Bereich einer weiteren Wickelvorrichtung gebracht und durch einen weiteren Quertransportschritt für diese Wickelvorrichtung bereitgestellt werden. Da das Längstransportmittel vorteilhafterweise nur in einer Transportrichtung arbeitet, gilt dies nur für zwei Wickelvorrichtungen, die entsprechend in der Reihe angeordnet sind. Für eine umgekehrte Anordnung der betroffenen zwei Wickelvorrichtungen muss der entfernte Wickelständer in der dritten Wickelständerreihe C positioniert und von dort mittels weiterer geeigneter Transportmittel am entsprechenden Platz in der zweiten Wikkelständerreihe B bereitgestellt werden.A comparison of Figures 5 and 7 also shows that it is easily possible in one Series of winding devices on which according to the inventive method and with the device according to the invention changing stand, both Winding-processing as well as winding-producing winding devices are available could be. In such a case it is no longer essential that all of Winding devices removed winding stand for transport away in the third Winding stand row C can be positioned. Instead, you can use selected changing stands also from a winding-producing winding device by means of a transverse transport step away from the winding device in a longitudinal transport step in brought the area of another winding device and by another Cross transport step can be provided for this winding device. Since that Longitudinal transport means advantageously works only in one transport direction, this applies only for two winding devices, which are arranged accordingly in the row. For a reverse arrangement of the two winding devices concerned must be the removed Winding stand positioned in the third winding stand row C and from there by means of other suitable means of transport at the appropriate place in the second row of winding stands B are provided.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren und die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung haben gegenüber bekannten Installationen den Vorteil, dass sie besonders einfach realisierbar sind, dass die weiter notwendigen Transportmittel für die Ein- und Auslagerung der Wickelständer von der Wechseleinrichtung vollständig unabhängig sind, dass Wickelwechsel an verschiedenen Wickelstationen gleichzeitig oder einander zeitlich überlappend durchführbar sind und dass Wickelwechsel dank der mindestens teilweise möglichen Gleichzeitigkeit des Entfernens des Wickelständers von der Wickelvorrichtung und des Positionierens des neuen Wickelständers in der Wickelvorrichtung sehr schnell durchführbar sind.The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention have known installations have the advantage that they are particularly easy to implement are that the further necessary means of transport for the storage and retrieval of the Winding stands are completely independent of the changing device, that winding change at different winding stations simultaneously or overlapping one another in time are feasible and that winding changes thanks to the at least partially possible Simultaneous removal of the winding stand from the winding device and the positioning of the new winding stand in the winding device very quickly are feasible.
