Definitions

• the invention relates to a method and a device according to the preambles of the corresponding independent claims.
• the method and device are used to produce coils from a large number of flat objects, in particular printed products.
• Printed products are often wound up in coils for transport and intermediate storage in shingled formation.
• Such coils can also represent advantageous transport and / or storage formations for other flat, at least limitedly flexible objects, for example for textile objects.
• the mentioned windings have an essentially cylindrical winding core and at least one winding band, the winding band being wound in a tensioned state together with the flaky formation of the flat objects on the winding core and holding it together.
• the end of the winding tape can be closed around the finished winding or fixed in some other suitable way.
• the wrapping tape usually has a width that is significantly smaller than the width of the wound objects.
• Print products are mostly in Scale formation wound up; however, it is also conceivable to arrange them one behind the other, that is, not to wind them overlapping each other.
• Coils of this type that are common in the printing industry have diameters of up to over two meters and can weigh over a ton.
• the wound products are, for example, about 30 to 50 cm wide and scaled in such a way that the product distance is about 10 cm or less.
• Usual winding tapes are about 5 to 10 cm wide.
• Winding devices are used to produce the windings, the essential components of which are the following: means for holding a winding core (usually with a horizontal winding axis), means for feeding the scale formation of the flat objects to a winding point on the periphery of the winding core or an emerging winding , Means for the orderly supply of the tensioned winding tape to the winding point and a drive for a rotation of the winding core or the resulting winding with an essentially constant peripheral speed.
• Such winding devices are described, for example, in the publications EP-0243838 (or US-4775111) or EP-0281790 (or US-4898336).
• the means for feeding the scale formation have, for example, a pair of conveyor belts which lead essentially tangentially to the winding point (for example the area of the lower vertex of the winding core or the resulting winding) and on which the flaky formation of the objects is conveyed in a loosely lying manner.
• the winding tape is fed, for example, between the two feed conveyor belts in such a way that the scale formation between the winding tape and the resulting winding is guided into the winding point.
• the tensioned winding band takes over the radial pressing of the objects in the winding, if necessary, somewhat supported by a corresponding pressing force, for example exerted by the feed means, in the area of the winding point.
• either the feed means is pivoted accordingly or the axis of the winding core is shifted accordingly.
• the drive for winding engages, for example, on the winding core or on the periphery of the resulting winding in the area of the winding tape.
• the winding device In order to recreate the shingled formation from a winding, that is to say for unwinding, the winding device is operated essentially in the opposite direction to the winding process, the winding rotation being generated, for example, by actively pulling off the winding tape.
• the winding tape constricts in such a way that the products bend outwards around the tape at least in the outer layers of the resulting roll and the roll has a larger circumference in the area of its end faces than in the central area, where it is held together by the winding tape. If there are additional products that are thicker on one side than on the other side, there is an asymmetry in the constriction in such a way that the two end faces of the roll have different diameters.
• the phenomena mentioned can create problems by destabilizing the winding, by the objects in the winding being damaged or not being stable due to the deformation in a scale formation created from the winding and / or by the circumferential speed becoming difficult - Adapt the speed of a emerging or to be dismantled roll to the speed of feeding or leading away the scale formation.
• the problems mentioned are particularly known in the printing industry for the winding of relatively thick, twice-folded printed products, the second fold of which is aligned parallel to the winding axis in such a way that unfolded product edges (smaller thickness) on one end of the roll and on the other The first fold of the products, i.e. folded product edges (greater thickness), lie on top of one another on the end of the roll.
• Such products are, for example, double-folded newspapers or sections of newspapers.
• the object of the invention is to improve the method and device for producing coils from a large number of flat objects in such a way that the above-mentioned problems occur less, that is to say also relatively thick, relatively compressible and / or irregularly, in particular objects that are thick on one side can be wound into coils with better results, even if they are to be wound as a narrow scale formation, that is to say with small distances between adjacent objects.
• the flat objects in an emerging winding during the winding process are protected against the winding core not only by the tensioned winding band (central area) and their own rigidity (lateral areas) presses, but they are temporarily subjected to an additional pressing force.
• the additional pressing force acts locally during the winding process in a substantially stationary pressing area spaced from the winding point on the periphery of the winding being formed and has a component in the direction of the winding radius.
• the additional pressing force can be exerted, for example, over the entire winding width, but is advantageously limited to peripheral areas next to the winding tape up to the edge of the end faces of the winding.
• the pressing area is advantageously located behind the winding point in the winding direction in such a way that objects pressed by the additional pressing force soon reach the winding point and are covered by a further winding layer.
• a temporary pressing with an additional pressing force in the order of a few hundred Newtons is surprisingly effective.
• the additional pressing force is generated, for example, with the aid of a passively rotating press roller pressed against the periphery of the resulting roll, the axis of which is aligned parallel to the winding axis and which is arranged, for example, in the winding direction before the winding point and at a distance from it.
• windings wound with the additional pressing force according to the invention are wound more tightly and are therefore more stable. This can be seen, for example, from the fact that they flatten less when they are positioned on their periphery. It is also shown that windings wound in this way can be handled more easily and that products made from windings wound in this way are easier to handle and subsequent processing.
• the advantageous effect of the additional pressing force according to the invention which acts on the outermost winding layer during winding and also acts on layers located deeper in the winding, is probably an at least partially irreversible or at least not so the reversible pressing of the folded edges, in particular the second fold, and the same compression (squeezing of air) of the products, in such a way that the products of a next winding layer are less deformed when they are taken up in the winding, i.e. during the first pressing by the winding tape - than is the case without the additional pressing force.
• the additional pressing force of the method according to the invention is particularly advantageous for the production of windings, that is for winding operations. However, it can also be used for unwinding operations.

If the If winding point 3 is in the area of the lower vertex of the resulting winding 4, that is to say in the 6 o'clock position, and the winding direction is oriented clockwise, the pressing area is advantageously, as shown in FIG. 1, in a position between 4 and 5 o'clock, if necessary, 5:30 a.m., i.e. at an angle of approximately 15 to 60 ° from the winding point 3.
