Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for winding thin metal ribbon continuously on a spool (DE-A-25 23 318).
  • Thin metal foil made by continuous casting of metal requires collection of the foil by winding on spools continuously.
  • the machine according to the invention is used with a continuous casting machine for producing metal foil in the form of a ribbon.
  • the continuous casting machine with a machine for winding thin metal ribbon is developed for collecting amorphous magnetic cast material in the form of ribbon on spools.
  • the invention provides a machine for winding thin metal ribbon continuously on spools comprising a fixed entry chute to receive the ribbon, a pair of support rollers with a dancing roller between them to support and guide the ribbon delivered through said fixed entry chute, a thickness measuring gauge in the path of the ribbon for continuously monitoring the thickness of the ribbon, a snubber roller assembly for pressing the ribbon, a brush assembly for catching the ribbon and providing better tension control, a detachable entry chute through which the metal ribbon is passed to a ribbon attaching station, a spool changing platform having a first position (P 1 ), a second position (P 2 ), a third position (P 3 ), and a fourth position (P 4 ), the first position (P 1 ) being said ribbon attaching station with an empty spool on a winding mandril, the second position (P 2 ) being a ribbon winding station with the winding spool on a winding mandril, the third position (P 3 ) being a station for unloading the wound
  • the cast metal ribbon enters through a fixed entry chute (1).
  • the ribbon is dragged through the chute with the help of a suction provided in the chute by means of a blower (2).
  • the ribbon is passed through a pair of support rollers (3, 3') and a dancing roller (4) located between the support rollers (3, 3').
  • a thickness measuring gauge (6) is located in the path of the metal ribbon for monitoring the thickness of the ribbon.
  • a snubber roller assembly (30) is provided for pressing the ribbon till it touches the spool.
  • a brush assembly (31) is provided to catch the ribbon and maintain a required tension in the ribbon.
  • a detachable entry chute (7) is provided through which the metal ribbon is passed to a ribbon attaching station (15) at a first position (P 1 ) provided with an empty spool on a winding mandril (19).
  • a hitting rod mechanism (9) is provided aligned to the ribbon attaching station (15) to hit on the ribbon against the empty spool on the winding mandril (19) so that the ribbon gets attached to the spool and the extended portion of the ribbon is cut out from the spool.
  • the surface of spool is provided with an adhesive tape so that the ribbon is properly stuck to the spool when the hitting rod mechanism hit on the ribbon against the spool.
  • the winding mandril start rotating and the rotation of the spool is synchronized with the linear speed at which the ribbon is advanced. Necessary loop correction is achieved with the dancing roller (4) by means of a pneumatic cylinder (5) to keep the ribbon at appropriate tension. Then the mandril with the ribbon attached to the winding spool is moved to the winding station (16) at the second position (P 2 ) and the empty spool on a winding mandril (21) is moved to the first position (P 1 ).
  • Support roller (10) is located between the first position (P 1 ) and second position (P 2 ) to support the ribbon.
  • the cut portion from the ribbon after the operation of the hitting mechanism is sucked out through a delivery chute (11) provided with a suction created by a blower (2').
  • the delivery chute (11) is provided with a pneumatic cylinder (12) for its operation and the cut pieces are collected and may be recycled.
  • the mechanism for wound spool unloading and empty spool loading comprises a pusher plate (18.1) with a hydraulic pushing cylinder (18.3) to push the wound spool from the mandril to a turn style (25) with operating means (26) for receiving the wound spool, a hydraulic lifting cylinder (18.2) for lifting the pusher plate and a base stand (18.4).
  • Hydraulic cylinders (14, 22, 23, 24) are provided on the spool changing platform for moving the spool on the winding mandrils from the first position (P 1 ) to second position (P 2 ), then to the third position (P 3 ) and to the fourth positions (P 4 ).
  • the empty spool at the first position (P 1 ) is moved to the second position (P 2 ) after the ribbon is attached to the spool.
  • the ribbon is wound on the spool at the second position (P 2 ) and moved to the third position (P 3 ).
  • the wound spool at the third position (P 3 ) is unloaded from the mandril and an empty spool is loaded on the mandril and moved to the fourth position (P 4 ) where it remains till the spool in the second position (P 2 ) is fully wound and the hitting rod mechanism (9) is operated to cut the ribbon from the spool in the second position (P 2 ) and to attach ribbon to the spool in the first position (P 1 ).
  • the mandril with wound spool in the second position (P 2 ) is moved to the third position (P 3 ) and the mandril with the empty spool and attached to the ribbon is moved to the second position (P 2 ).
  • the mandril with the empty spool in the fourth position (P 4 ) is now moved to the first position (P 1 ) till the spool in the second position is fully wound. Meanwhile the mandril with the wound spool in the third position (P 3 ) is unloaded, an empty spool is loaded on the mandril and moved to the fourth position (P 4 ) as a stand by mandril with spool.
  • the tips of the mandrils (19, 20, 21) are preferably collapsible in order to make loading and unloading of spools easy.
  • the hitting rod mechanism (9) comprises a hitting rod operating lever (9.1), a lever actuating rod (9.2) and an electromagnet (9.3) for operating the lever actuating rod (9.2).
  • Movable guides (27) and fixed guides (28) are provided on the spool changing platform for smooth movement of the winding mandrils with spools, along the prescribed paths.
  • the movable guides (29, 29') are operated by hydraulic cylinders (13, 13') and the spooling mechanism is provided with a hydraulic cylinder (14) for moving the mandril (19) to the second position (P 2 ) after catching the ribbon at first position (P 1 ).
  • the pneumatic cylinder with ribbon support roller (10) brings the ribbon down for attaching the ribbon, when the winding is completed at the second position (P 2 ).
  • the sequential operation of the motion of the winding mandrils with spools and operation of the hitting mechanism are controlled by a programmed processor.
  • the timings of the operation of the pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders are decided by the program.
  • the machine according to the invention can be used for coiling ribbon material of any type wherein the ribbon is produced continuously and is required to be made in the form of coil.
  • the machine has been effectively tried in the production of coils of amorphous magnetic ribbon used in making electrical transformers and rotating machinery.
