Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring or threading tape catches, in particular of vapor tapes, from a tape or tape processing arrangement to or into a further processing system or decoiler.
  • Such a device is disclosed in DE 40 18 950 A1, with a band threading device being provided here, which is arranged downstream of a reel.
  • the Bandeinfädeiwage ⁇ has a pivotable clamping device which is provided with a chisel at the front end. This can be used to open the coil of a belt located on the reel and immediately afterwards the beginning of the belt is recorded hydraulically or magnetically and transferred by the longitudinally movable carriage to a subsequent belt processing or belt processing system, for example threaded there.
  • a longitudinally movable carriage is also known from DE-AS 26 04 909, which also detects and transfers the beginning of the banana running off the collar by clamping.
  • Corresponding devices are also used to transfer the tape emerging from a roll stand to a take-up reel or to thread it into the latter.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a device with which in particular the handling of vapor bands during transfer or threading is possible, preferably automatically.
  • a device for transferring or threading tape starts, in particular of steam tapes, from a tape processing or tape processing system to or into a further processing system or take-up reel, consisting of a transfer table, the width of which corresponds at least to the width of a tape to be transported, and the table surface of which has a longitudinal slot in the transport direction of the belt, which is narrower than the minimum width of a belt to be transported, through which the upper run of a conveyor belt rotating in the transport direction of the belt can be swung forward over the surface of the transfer table and can be connected non-positively to the belt to be transported is.
  • the belt is therefore not gripped, but instead engages temporarily on an endlessly rotating conveyor belt. Such an application is much gentler than the gripping previously used.
  • the width of the conveyor belt is smaller than the minimum width of the belt to be transported, so that in principle only a very narrow area of the belt is covered for transport.
  • the tapes to be handled can have different properties, namely they can be magnetic or non-magnetic.
  • magnets are arranged below the upper run of the endlessly rotating conveyor belt, which pull the beginning of the belt against the conveyor belt, namely the top of the upper run of the conveyor belt. If permanent magnets are used for this purpose, their effect only occurs as long as the conveyor belt is in the swung-out state, i.e. above the table surface. If electromagnets are used, the effect only occurs if the electromagnets are activated. It is important that the effect only occurs temporarily. After transfer and / or threading into a subsequent system, the conveyor belt is separated from the belt so that the belt then runs freely between the preceding outlet and the subsequent inlet.
  • suction nozzles are arranged below the upper run of the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt itself is provided with passages or holes.
  • the vacuum belt is temporarily placed non-positively on the top of the upper run of the conveyor belt due to the negative pressure. So that a quick conversion or change between these types of conveyance can take place, electromagnets and suction nozzles can also be installed together below the upper run of the conveyor belt.
  • the entire device is expediently pivoted, i.e. for use, the conveyor belt is moved into the transport level and swung out of it when not in use, so that it does not interfere with the subsequent movement.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the transfer table shown in simplified form and Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of the pivotable conveyor belt.
  • the transfer table which has a slot 8.
  • the maximum X and the minimum bandwidth Y are indicated in FIG. 1, so that it can be seen that the slot is narrower than the minimum bandwidth of a belt to be transported.
  • a roll stand (or a last stand of a rolling mill) is indicated by 3.
  • the dash-dotted line 4 indicates the center of the roll and also the transport plane of the emerging strip.
  • the device according to the invention for transferring or threading a vapor belt has an endlessly rotating conveyor belt, designated by 7.
  • This conveyor belt is pivotally arranged, which has been indicated by the reference numerals 2.
  • the two position representations show that in this way the conveyor belt can be moved into or out of the transport plane, that is to say it protrudes or is recessed above the surface or table surface of the transfer table 1.
