Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

In Bandbeschichtungsanlagen wird eine Kunststofffolien-Rolle abgewickelt, die abgewickelte Folie beschichtet und die beschichtete Folie wieder aufgewickelt.In strip coating systems, a plastic film roll is unwound, coated the unwound film and rewound the coated film.

Ist die Folien-Rolle ganz abgewickelt, muss sie durch eine neue und volle Folien-Rolle ersetzt werden. Andererseits muss auch die vollständig aufgewickelte Folie entfernt und durch einen leeren Wickelkern ersetzt werden.If the film roll is completely unwound, it must be replaced by a new and full film roll. On the other hand, the completely wound film must be removed and replaced by an empty hub.

Um diese bandförmigen Kunststofffolien an einer Beschichtungsstelle, z. B. einer Sputterkathode oder einem Verdampfer, vorbeiführen zu können, sind Auf- und Abwickelvorrichtungen für diese Folien erforderlich. Derartige Auf- und Abwickelvorrichtungen befinden sich in der Regel in einer Kammer, die von der eigentlichen Beschichtungskammer getrennt ist (DE 42 23 568 C1, DE 195 27 604 A1, CH 345 215). Die Rolle mit neuer und aufgewickelter Kunststofffolie sowie die Rolle mit der beschichteten Kunststofffolie werden dabei üblicherweise von oben mit einem Kran aus der Anlage herausgehoben bzw. in die Anlage eingebracht.To this band-shaped plastic films at a coating site, for. As a sputtering cathode or an evaporator to be able to pass, up and unwinding devices for these films are required. Such winding and unwinding devices are usually in a chamber which is separated from the actual coating chamber (DE 42 23 568 C1, DE 195 27 604 A1, CH 345 215). The role with new and wound plastic film and the role with the coated plastic film are usually lifted from above with a crane from the plant or introduced into the system.

Es ist indessen auch eine Vorrichtung zum Beschichten von Bändern im Vakuum bekannt, die eine quer zu den Laufschienen bewegbare Transportvorrichtung aufweist (DE 37 26 113 A1). An dieser Transportvorrichtung sind Armpaare schwenkbar gelagert, deren Schwenkachse parallel zu den Laufschienen angeordnet ist, wobei die freien Enden der Armpaare mit Lageraugen zur Halterung von je einem Rohwickel und einem Aufwickel ausgestattet sind.However, it is also known a device for coating strips in vacuum, which has a transverse to the rails movable transport device (DE 37 26 113 A1). At this transport device arm pairs are pivotally mounted, the pivot axis is arranged parallel to the rails, wherein the free ends of the pairs of arms are equipped with bearing eyes for holding a respective Rohwickel and a take-up.

Weiterhin ist eine Vorrichtung zum Austauschen eines mit Wickelgut bewickelten Wickelkerns gegen einen unbewickelten Wickelkern ohne Unterbrechung der Zuführung des Wickelguts bekannt, die eine Vorrichtung für den horizontalen Transport des Wickelkerns aufweist (EP 0 093 301 B1). Diese Vorrichtung für den horizontalen Transport weist mindestens eine Schleife auf, deren horizontale Bewegung der Wickelkern mitmacht. Dabei erfolgt die Freigabe des Wickelkerns in einer ersten Position und die Aufnahme des Wickelkerns in einer zweiten Position des durch die Schleife transportierten Wickelkerns.Furthermore, a device for exchanging a winding core wound with winding material against an unwound winding core without interrupting the supply of the winding material is known, which has a device for the horizontal transport of the winding core (EP 0 093 301 B1). This device for horizontal transport has at least one loop, the horizontal movement of the winding core participates. In this case, the release of the winding core takes place in a first position and the reception of the winding core in a second position of the transported through the loop winding core.

Es ist auch eine Vorrichtung zum Heben schwerer Papierrollen aus einer Presse oder zum Einbringen in eine Presse bekannt (US 1 538 397). Ein seitliches Einbringen der Papierrolle ist mit dieser Vorrichtung nicht möglich.There is also known a device for lifting heavy paper rolls from a press or for introduction into a press (US 1 538 397). A lateral introduction of the paper roll is not possible with this device.

Ferner ist ein Zuführungs- und Schneidesystem für Stoffe bekannt, bei dem die Stoffrollen über einen Schneidetisch gehoben oder gesenkt werden (US 3 982 745).Further, a fabric feeding and cutting system is known in which the fabric rolls are raised or lowered via a cutting table (US 3 982 745).

Aus der GB 2 018 727 A ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, welche eine Wickelrolle heben kann, auf der sich Bandmaterial befindet.From GB 2 018 727 A a device is known which can lift a winding roll on which strip material is located.

Schließlich ist auch noch eine Vorrichtung für die Bearbeitung einer Wickelrolle bekannt, die zwei Führungsschienen für die Aufnahme von Lagern der Wickelrolle aufweist (US 2 706 092). Die Führungsschienen sind hierbei jeweils in zwei Teilschienen unterteilt, von denen jeweils eine Teilschiene gegenüber der anderen Teilschiene verschwenkbar ist.Finally, a device for the processing of a winding roll is also known, which has two guide rails for receiving bearings of the winding roll (US 2,706,092). The guide rails are in each case divided into two sub-rails, of which in each case one sub-rail can be pivoted relative to the other sub-rail.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung für den Wechsel einer Welle oder einer Wickeldrum in einer Vakuumbandbeschichtungsanlage zu schaffen, bei welcher die Welle oder die Wickeldrum nicht von oben in die Beschichtungsanlage eingebracht wird.The invention has for its object to provide a device for changing a shaft or a Wickeldrum in a vacuum belt coater, in which the shaft or the Wickeldrum is not introduced from above into the coating plant.

Die Erfindung betrifft somit eine Vorrichtung zum Wechseln einer Wickelrolle in einer Auf- oder Abwickelkammer einer Beschichtungsanlage für bandförmiges Material. Jeweils eine solche Vorrichtung kann zu beiden Seiten einer Beschichtungskammer vorgesehen sein, wobei die eine Vorrichtung als Aufwickelrolle und die andere Vorrichtung als Abwickelrolle dient. Die Vorrichtung weist zwei Schienen für die Aufnahme von Endlagern einer Wickelrolle auf, wobei die Schienen aus zwei Teilen bestehen, von denen der eine Teil ortsfest und der andere Teil schwenkbar ist. Die Vorrichtung befindet sich in einem Gehäuse mit einer Tür. Soll die Wickelrolle ausgetauscht werden, wird die Tür geöffnet und die schwenkbaren Teile der Schienen werden nach außen geklappt, sodass sie aus dem Gehäuse ragen. Auf die nun herausragenden Schienenteile kann eine Wickelrolle gelegt, nach innen verschoben und dann arretiert werden.The invention thus relates to a device for changing a winding roll in a winding or unwinding of a coating system for strip-shaped material. In each case such a device can be provided on both sides of a coating chamber, wherein one device serves as a take-up roll and the other device as a take-off roll. The device has two rails for receiving end bearings of a winding roll, wherein the rails consist of two parts, of which one part is stationary and the other part is pivotable. The device is located in a housing with a door. If the winding roll to be replaced, the door is opened and the pivoting parts of the rails are folded outward so that they protrude from the housing. On the now outstanding rail parts a winding roll can be placed, moved inwards and then locked.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht insbesondere darin, dass die Folienwickel seitlich in die Abwickelkammer einer Bandbeschichtungsanlage eingebracht werden können. Damit muss eine Halle, in welcher eine Bandbeschichtungsanlage steht, keine große Bauhöhe für die Aufnahme eines Hallenkrans aufweisen. Das Raumvolumen für Produktionshallen ist insbesondere dann eine Investitionsfrage, wenn die Produktionsanlage in Sauber- oder Reinräumen untergebracht werden soll.The advantage achieved by the invention is, in particular, that the film rolls can be introduced laterally into the unwinding chamber of a strip coater. As a result, a hall in which a strip coater stands must not have a large overall height for receiving a hall crane. The volume of space for production halls is particularly an investment issue if the production plant is to be housed in clean or clean rooms.

The rails 44, 45 are together with the carrier 71, 72; 73, 74 formed foldable. They have a fixed part 46, 47 and a pivotable part 48, 49 on. In the illustration of Fig. 3, the pivotable parts 48, 49 are folded out and fixed by a rod 50 in position. The sub-rails 46, 48 rest on the carriers 73, 74, which are also pivotable. The same applies to the sub-rails 47, 49, which rest on the carriers 71, 72. By folding out the pivotable parts 48, 49 protrude out of the chamber 4, so that the winding core 19 can be easily inserted or removed.

Während des Betriebs der Beschichtungsanlage 1, d. h. wenn die Tür 25 geschlossen ist, wird die Stange 50 nicht benötigt; sie ruht dann in Haken 51, 52, die unterhalb der Aufwickelkammer 4 angebracht sind.During operation of the coating system 1, d. H. when the door 25 is closed, the rod 50 is not needed; it then rests in hooks 51, 52 which are mounted below the winding chamber 4.

Die Aufwickelwalze 19 ist in ihrer in der Fig. 3 dargestellten Position arretiert, weil die Lager 42, 43 von jeweils einer Klaue 53, 54 umfasst sind. Diese Klauen 53, 54 bilden das Ende eines Arms 55,56, der durch einen Pneumatikzylinder 62, 65 (Fig. 4) betätigt werden kann.The winding roller 19 is locked in its position shown in FIG. 3, because the bearings 42, 43 are each comprised of a claw 53, 54. These jaws 53, 54 form the end of an arm 55, 56 which can be actuated by a pneumatic cylinder 62, 65 (Figure 4).

Beim Einbringen bzw. Entfernen der Wickelwalze 19 werden die Arme 55, 56 durch die Pneumatikzylinder 62, 65 (Fig. 4) entgegen einer Kraft angehoben und damit die Lager 42, 43 freigegeben. Die Wickelwalze 19 kann nun entlang der Schienen 46, 48; 47, 49 nach vorne rollen und außerhalb der Kammer 4 abgenommen werden.When introducing or removing the winding roller 19, the arms 55, 56 are lifted by the pneumatic cylinders 62, 65 (FIG. 4) against a force and thus the bearings 42, 43 are released. The winding roller 19 can now along the rails 46, 48; 47, 49 roll forward and removed outside the chamber 4.

In entsprechender Weise wird dann eine neue, d. h. leere Wickelrolle in die Kammer 4 eingebracht und durch die Klauen 53, 54 festgehalten.In a corresponding manner, a new, d. H. empty winding roll introduced into the chamber 4 and held by the claws 53, 54.

In der Fig. 4 ist die Vorrichtung gemäß Fig. 3 noch einmal in einer perspektivischen Rückansicht dargestellt. Man erkennt hierbei die Wickelwalze 19 mit ihrem Lager 42, das in der Schiene 44 gelagert ist. Der schwenkbare Teil 49 der Schiene 44 ist dabei gegenüber der in der Fig. 3 gezeigten Position um 90 Grad nach innen geschwenkt. Der Arm 55 mit der Klaue 53 ist an seinem hinteren Ende mit einem Kolben 60 verbunden, der durch eine Feder 61 in einen Pneumatikzylinder 62 eingreift. Auf entsprechende Weise ist der Arm 56 mit seinem hinteren Ende mit einem Kolben 63 verbunden, der durch eine Feder 64 in einen Pneumatikzylinder 65 eingreift. Die Federn 61, 64 bewirken die Schließkraft der Arme 55, 56. Die Zylinder 62, 65 müssen dieser Schließkraft entgegen wirken, damit die Klauen 53, 54 die Lager 42, 43 zum Entnehmen oder Einsetzen der Walzen 19, 26 freigeben bzw. aufnehmen können.FIG. 4 again shows the device according to FIG. 3 in a perspective rear view. It can be seen here the winding roller 19 with its bearing 42, which is mounted in the rail 44. The pivotable part 49 of the rail 44 is pivoted in relation to the position shown in FIG. 3 by 90 degrees inwards. The arm 55 with the claw 53 is connected at its rear end with a piston 60 which engages by a spring 61 in a pneumatic cylinder 62. In a corresponding manner, the arm 56 is connected at its rear end to a piston 63, which engages by a spring 64 in a pneumatic cylinder 65. The springs 61, 64 cause the closing force of the arms 55, 56. The cylinders 62, 65 must counteract this closing force so that the claws 53, 54 can release the bearings 42, 43 for removing or inserting the rollers 19, 26 ,

An die Wickelwalze 19 ist ein Antrieb 66 angeflanscht. Um die Drehung der Wickelwalze 19 zu gewährleisten, wird ein Kupplungshebel 67 betätigt, welcher die Wickelwalze 19 mit dem außen liegenden Antrieb 66 verbindet.To the winding roller 19, a drive 66 is flanged. In order to ensure the rotation of the winding roller 19, a clutch lever 67 is actuated, which connects the winding roller 19 with the outer drive 66.

In der Fig. 5 ist die Vorrichtung der Fig. 4 noch einmal in einer um etwa 180 Grad gedrehten Position dargestellt. Bei dieser Darstellung sind die vorderen Teile 48, 49 der Schienen nach innen umgeklappt. Der Antrieb 66 ist weggenommen, sodass man die Antriebskupplung 70 erkennen kann. Diese Antriebskupplung 70 ist mittels eines Hebels 67 schaltbar.5, the device of FIG. 4 is shown again in a rotated by about 180 degrees position. In this illustration, the front parts 48, 49 of the rails are folded inwards. The drive 66 is removed, so that the Drive coupling 70 can recognize. This drive clutch 70 is switchable by means of a lever 67.
