Definitions

  • the invention relates to a winder for winding wire or ribbon-shaped piece goods, in particular optical fibers or copper conductors for winding, with a winding body rotatable about an axis and a clamp for holding an optical fiber or copper conductor end.
  • Optical fibers and copper conductors are now wound up on packages for the purpose of transport, sales, assembly, storage, etc., similar to how it is done with steel wire and steel cables.
  • the optical fibers are very sensitive and can easily be damaged. Therefore, they remain wound on the packages until they are laid.
  • these pieces are unwound from the large winding body of production and rewound onto smaller winding bodies. With this type of storage and transport, much unnecessary space and weight is always wasted on the winding body alone.
  • Such a winding body is known for example from DE 40 24 619.
  • a particular problem here is the accessibility of the ends of the wound optical waveguide.
  • Another coil for optical fibers is known from EP-A1 -662623, which is intended to improve the accessibility of the ends of the wound optical fiber.
  • the outer face of the coil is provided with an annular groove into which the ends of the optical cable are inserted.
  • the annular groove is connected to the base of the winding chamber via an elongated hole.
  • US-A1-2002 / 0009354 shows a cable end assembly plant with several processing stations linked together.
  • the cables wound on drums are transported from one processing station to the other on pallets.
  • the drums are manually clamped onto the pallets from below in a loading and unloading station.
  • the free ends of the cables to be processed must also be inserted manually into guides or brackets. A fully automated process is not possible with this system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide optical fibers or copper conductors or the like. to be wound in such a way that the transfer of the reel can be automated and manual operation of a reel can be omitted.
  • the basic idea is to manufacture coils of optical fibers or copper conductors without a winding body remaining with the optical fiber.
  • the step according to the invention consists in the free ends of the windings being produced taking up a position which is clearly defined for the transfer and / or gravity pulling the windings out of the winder into a further automatically functioning transport device, such as pallets with clamps or grippers or the like. to hand over.
  • a further automatically functioning transport device such as pallets with clamps or grippers or the like.
  • a spooler for winding optical fibers or copper conductors for winding generally does not include a fixed and exchangeable winding body that comes with a winding and on which a certain length is wound by an optical fiber; according to the invention, the function of the winding body is only performed during the actual winding of the optical fiber is required.
  • the invention is not necessarily restricted to this.
  • a spool could be provided in addition to the winding arms, bobbins or plates, onto which the piece goods are wound and can then be transferred according to the invention, taking the bobbin with them.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a winder according to the invention in side view
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a winder according to the invention in the starting position
  • the winding body is formed by a rotating body 10a which can be driven about a drive axis 5a and which has winding arms 111a at an angle thereto.
  • Each winding arm 111a has an end plate 112a at its free end. These end plates prevent any windings of the winding 7 generated from falling during the winding process.
  • By holding the winding arms 111a at a special angle a holding effect can also be achieved.
  • inflatable barrel-shaped holding bodies or the like are also. included by the invention.
  • the rotating body 10a consists of a plurality of spokes 11, a winding arm 111a being movably attached to each spoke 11 at a uniform distance from the drive axis 5a by means of a joint 113a.
  • the winding arm 111a is thus at a variable angle to the spokes 11.
  • a return spring 114a in the region of the joint 113a tilts the winding arm 111a radially inward with its free end.
  • a tilting stop 115 limits the tilting movement radially outward so that the winding arms 111a are in the winding position eg at right angles to the rotating body 10a.
  • These spokes 11, together with the winding arms 111a serve as the winding body 1a during the winding process.
  • the shape of the winding arms and other components is to be understood only as an example and schematically.
  • a control disk 3 is arranged directly below the rotating body 10a.
  • the control disk 3 has control cams 31 that extend outward in a spiral pattern, corresponding to the number of winding arms 111 a and also distributed.
  • the control disk 3 is arranged concentrically with the rotating body 10 and can be rotated relative to the latter.
  • the control disk 3 is rotated relative to the rotating body 10a.
  • the winding arms 111a lie against the control cams 31 and are tilted radially outwards by them until they strike the tilting stops 115.
  • An actuator 32 is arranged on a spoke 11 for rotating the control disk 3 relative to the rotating body 10a.
  • a pneumatic, electrical, electromagnetic or similar actuator can be used as the actuator, for example.
  • Electrical control lines and pneumatic actuation lines are advantageously guided axially through the drive axis 5a.
  • the contacts for electrical lines are made, for example, using slip rings 52.
  • ring grooves and adapters 53 are attached to the drive shaft 5a, which themselves create the operative connection in connection with correspondingly arranged air channels in the drive shaft 5a.
  • the transmission from the actuator 32 to the control disc 3 can be carried out by means of a lever, a gear or belt transmission or the like.
  • a gripper 2a with a clamp 21a is located in the area of a winding arm 111a, attached radially somewhat further to the outside of the rotating body 10a.
  • a receptacle 211a for receiving a start or end of an optical waveguide is arranged in the clamp 21a.
  • the receptacle is located in the area of one of the winding arms 111a above its end plate 112a.
  • the gripper 2a with the clamp 21a holds the end of the optical fiber during the winding process. It rotates together with the rotating body 10a. Since the transfer of the first end is controlled and automatic, the computer or the control of the winder knows the location of this cable end.
  • a feed unit 4a for feeding an optical waveguide is attached to a common chassis outside the rotating body.
  • the feed unit 4a has a belt drive 4a1 of a known type for feeding an optical waveguide without tension.
  • a measuring roller 43a In the transport direction, following the belt drive 41a, there is a measuring roller 43a for precise length measurement of the optical waveguide to be wound up.
  • the feed unit could also be the output of a conventional cable processing device. It is also conceivable to dispense with a separate measurement of the cable length if the belt drive is equipped accordingly.
  • the optical waveguide is guided after the measuring rollers 43a through a channel 44a which is provided with a separating device 42a for cutting the optical waveguide to length.
  • the channel 44a can be replaced by other known cable holding devices.
  • the separating device 42a comprises, for example, a milling cutter.
  • the milling cutter is brought up to the optical waveguide from one side and cuts it with a circular saw blade or the like in the area of a separating slot as soon as a desired length of the optical waveguide has been wound onto the winding body 1a.
  • a binding device 9a is also arranged on the chassis. As soon as a fiber optic coil is completely wound, the binding device 9a comes into action. An arm with a binding unit is brought up to the winding, whereupon the turns of the Optical fiber are tied together at one point. The winding is then rotated further by a certain angle, whereupon a second binding is carried out. This can be repeated several times.
  • the binding device 9a can enclose the winding, for example by means of adhesive strips. Wire or rubber ties of a known type can also be used. It is advantageous that the smallest possible forces act on the optical waveguide itself so that it is not damaged. After removing the binder, no residues or other traces should remain on the optical fibers. The bindings should be detachable without tools.
  • the binding device can be moved radially or tangentially to the winding in order to carry out the binding and can then be moved back into a rest position.
  • the binding device 9 is arranged to be displaceable parallel to the optical waveguide or copper conductor in the area between the feed unit 4a and the position of the start of the winding.
  • a transfer line with at least one pallet 8a is located on the chassis next to the winding unit.
  • the pallet 8 has two brackets 81a. Their distance from each other corresponds approximately to the diameter of an optical fiber coil.
  • the brackets 81a are in the open state.
  • the control disk 3 is turned back with respect to the rotating body 10a, as a result of which the winding arms 111a tilt inwards due to the pressure of the return springs 114a.
  • the finished winding is now released and falls down due to gravity. It is gripped and held in position by the clamps 81a of the pallet 8a and thus transferred in a defined manner.
  • the Pallet 8a now moves the winding away and transports it to the next processing station or to a warehouse, for example. There the clips 81a are opened again and the reel can be delivered to the next processing station or the cable ends can be further processed there even in the clamped state.
  • the process of producing a coil is now as follows: An optical fiber is delivered continuously, for example on a large production spool or from a cable processing machine. The end on the outside of the spool is pulled off by hand or by means of a feed and inserted as the beginning in the belt drive 41a. From now on, the optical waveguide is only conveyed or transported by the belt drive 41a. The beginning of the optical waveguide is guided without tension past the measuring rollers 43a into the channel 44a and pushed further until it is received and held in the receptacle 211a of the clamps 21a of the gripper 2a.
  • the winding arms 111a are brought into the winding position by the control disk 3.
  • the winding body 1a is now rotated clockwise and the winding process begins.
  • the binding device 9a comes into operation.
  • the winding body 1a is rotated further by a partial rotation after each binding process, after which a further binding process is carried out.
  • a pallet 8 is moved up on the transfer line and the beginning and end of the winding 7 are each transferred to a clamp 81a of the pallet 8a.
  • the separating device 42a consisting of a milling disk or a circular saw blade, moves into a groove in the guide channel 44a and separates the optical waveguide to the desired length.
  • the control disk 3 is then rotated, the winding arms 111a being tilted radially inward by the return springs.
  • the finished cut, wound and bound roll is only held by the clamps 81a of the pallet 8a of the transfer line and is transported on to the next processing position. There it is handed over to the next processing station or, for example, delivered to storage containers. The process is now repeated for the next winding.
  • the transfer line 8 can, for example, also forward the winding to an automatic placement machine in which the ends of the wound optical fibers are processed, for example automatically provided with ferrules.
  • the winder shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 has a winding body 1b which can be rotated about an essentially vertical axis A.
  • the winding body 1b essentially consists of a rotating body 10b and winding arms 111b connected to it.
  • the winding arms 111b can be rigidly connected to the rotating body 10b or, for example, be radially displaceable relative to the latter.
  • end plates 112b are pivotally connected via joints 113b.
  • the end plates are held in the position shown by means of return springs 114b.
  • Alternative resetting or holding devices for the end plates e.g. Cable pulls are conceivable.
  • the end plates can also be firmly connected to the winding arms, so that the windings can only release the winding 7 after a certain pivoting movement by sliding past the end plates.
  • a cable 6 is fed through a feed unit 4b to a gripper 2b likewise fastened to the rotating body 10b.
