Es wird auf die Figuren 1 und 2 Bezug genommen. Die Wickelvorrichtung 6 weist einen Kasten 51, der mit Abstand am Gehäuse 3 befestigt ist, eine Wickeleinheit 52 für den Polsterstrang, einen Riemenantrieb 53, der mit der Antriebswelle 47 verbunden ist und die elektromagnetische Kupplung 54 auf, die den Riemenantrieb 53 mit der Wickeleinheit 52 verbindet.Reference is made to FIGS. 1 and 2. The winding device 6 has a box 51, which is fixed at a distance to the housing 3, a winding unit 52 for the upholstery, a belt drive 53 which is connected to the drive shaft 47 and the electromagnetic clutch 54, the belt drive 53 with the winding unit 52nd combines.

Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, umfasst die Wickeleinheit 52 einen Flansch 55 und ein Rohr 56, das mit dem Flansch verbunden ist und einen kleineren Außendurchmesser als der Flansch 55 aufweist. Ein Schlitz 57 zum Einführen des Polsterstrangs ist in der Rohrwand ausgebildet. Der Schlitz erweitert sich zur Außenseite des Rohres hin konisch, um ein Einführen des Polsterstranges zu erleichtern.As shown in FIG. 3, the winding unit 52 comprises a flange 55 and a pipe 56 which is connected to the flange and has a smaller outer diameter than the flange 55. A slot 57 for insertion the upholstery strand is formed in the pipe wall. The slot widens conically towards the outside of the tube to facilitate insertion of the pad string.

Wie die Fig. 4 zeigt, ist bei einer anderen Ausführung die Wickelvorrichtung 6 an einem Wagen 71 montiert, der mit Rollen 72 versehen ist, um die Wickelvorrichtung 6 zu verfahren. Am Wagen 71 ist ein Halter 73 für die Wickelvorrichtung 6 und ein Lager 74 für den Riemenantrieb 53 vorgesehen. Die Wickelvorrichtung 6 und das Lager 74 sind an einer Platte 75 befestigt, die mit dem Halter 73 verbunden ist.As shown in Fig. 4, in another embodiment, the winding device 6 is mounted on a carriage 71 which is provided with rollers 72 to move the winding device 6. On the carriage 71, a holder 73 for the winding device 6 and a bearing 74 for the belt drive 53 is provided. The winding device 6 and the bearing 74 are fixed to a plate 75 which is connected to the holder 73.

Wie die Fig. 4 ferner zeigt, ist eine Anordnung 81 zum Ausrichten von Wagen 71 und Gestell 1 der Maschine vorgesehen. Die Anordnung umfasst eine Stange 82, die am Tisch 9 des Gestells 1 mittels Halter 83 befestigt ist und ein Führungsorgan 84, das am Halter 83 des Wagens befestigt ist.

The assembly comprises a rod 82 which is fixed to the table 9 of the frame 1 by means of a holder 83 and a guide member 84 which is fixed to the holder 83 of the carriage. The car is locked by means not shown on the machine.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform einer Steuerung, die als Halbautomat ausgebildet ist. Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Steuerung 10 weist in ihrem Inneren eine mit Hilfe eines Mikroprozessors ausgebildete und nicht näher dargestellte Steuereinheit mit einem Speicher auf, die sowohl den Antriebsmotor wie auch die Schneideinrichtung der Maschine steuert.Fig. 5 shows a first embodiment of a controller, which is designed as a semi-automatic machine. The controller 10 shown in Fig. 5 has in its interior a trained by means of a microprocessor and not shown control unit with a memory which controls both the drive motor as well as the cutting device of the machine.

Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Steuerung 10 weist einen Hauptschalter 12 sowie einen Notausschalter 14 auf. Ferner ist ein Starttaster 16 vorgesehen, mit dem nach Betätigen des Hauptschalters 12 eine Initialisierung der Steuerung 10 vorgenommen werden kann, so dass diese betriebsbereit ist. Demgegenüber wird mit dem Hauptschalter 12 wie auch mit dem Notausschalter 14 die gesamte Maschine stromlos gemacht. Zusätzlich ist ein erster Wahlschalter 17 vorgesehen, der drei Schaltstellungen O, CONT und Wickeln aufweist.The controller 10 shown in FIG. 5 has a main switch 12 and an emergency stop switch 14. Furthermore, a start button 16 is provided, with which after actuation of the main switch 12, an initialization of the controller 10 can be made so that it is ready for operation. In contrast, the entire machine is de-energized with the main switch 12 as well as the emergency stop switch 14. In addition, one is first selector switch 17 is provided, which has three switching positions O, CONT and winding.

Das Bezugszeichen 18 bezeichnet einen Taster mit insbesondere vergrößerter Tastfläche, der in der Schaltstellung 0 des ersten Wahlschalters 17 als Eingabemittel für die Steuerung 10 dient, um eine gewünschte Polsterlänge einzugeben. Bei Aktivieren des Tasters 18 wird auf bekannte Weise der Antriebsmotor gestartet und es beginnt die Herstellung eines Papierpolsters. Nach Loslassen des Tasters 18 wird ein Schneidvorgang ausgelöst und der Antriebsmotor wird gestoppt, so dass die Zeitdauer der Aktivierung des Tasters 18 einer bestimmten Polsterlänge entspricht.The reference numeral 18 designates a button with a particular enlarged touch surface, which is used in the switching position 0 of the first selector switch 17 as an input means for the controller 10 to enter a desired cushion length. When activating the button 18, the drive motor is started in a known manner and it begins the production of a paper pad. After releasing the button 18, a cutting operation is triggered and the drive motor is stopped, so that the time duration of the activation of the button 18 corresponds to a specific pad length.

Die Steuerung 10 ist so ausgebildet, dass die durch Betätigen und Loslassen des Tasters 18 produzierte Polsterlänge automatisch, d.h. selbsttätig und ohne weiteren Tastendruck in dem Speicher der Steuerung abgespeichert und für einen weiteren Abruf zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Hierbei kann entweder die Zeit ermittelt werden, während der Taster 18 gedrückt gehalten wurde. Alternativ können die während dieser Zeit erfolgten Umdrehungen des Antriebsmotors oder dergleichen von der Steuerung ermittelt werden, da diese auch mit der produzierten Polsterlänge korrelieren.The controller 10 is configured such that the pad length produced by actuation and release of the stylus 18 is automatically, i. automatically stored and without further keystroke in the memory of the controller and made available for further retrieval. Here, either the time can be determined while the button 18 was kept pressed. Alternatively, the revolutions of the drive motor or the like during this time can be determined by the controller, since these also correlate with the produced cushion length.

Wenn der Bediener wünscht, dass ein weiteres Polster in der soeben produzierten Länge hergestellt wird, genügt ein kurzzeitige Antippen des Tasters 18, worauf die Steuerung den im Speicher abgespeicherten Wert, welcher der soeben produzierten Polsterlänge entspricht, abruft und ein weiteres Polster in dieser Länge produziert.If the operator wishes to make another cushion in the just-produced length, a momentary tap on the button 18 will suffice, whereupon the controller retrieves the value stored in memory corresponding to the pad length just produced and produces another pad of that length ,

Zur weiteren Erhöhung des Bedienungskomforts weist die Steuerung 10 einen zweiten Wahlschalter 20 auf, mit dem mehrere Speicherplätze in dem Speicher der Steuerung 10 ausgewählt werden können. In diesen Speicherplätzen ist jeweils eine produzierte Polsterlänge automatisch abspeicherbar, d.h. je nach Stellung des zweiten Wahlschalters 20 wird die von der Steuerung 10 automatisch abgespeicherte Länge entweder in einem Speicherplatz I, in einem Speicherplatz II oder in einem Speicherplatz III abgespeichert. Zum Abrufen dieser drei Polsterlängen muss der erste Wahlschalter 17 in der Schaltstellung 0 stehen und lediglich der zweite Wahlschalter 20 auf die gewünschte Speicherposition gesetzt werden. Anschließend genügt wiederum ein kurzzeitiges Antippen des Tasters 18, so dass das Polster in der gewünschten Länge produziert wird.To further increase the ease of operation, the controller 10 has a second selector switch 20, with which a plurality of memory locations in the memory of the controller 10 can be selected. In these Each stored storage space is automatically stored, that is, depending on the position of the second selector switch 20, the automatically stored by the controller 10 length is stored either in a memory location I, in a storage space II or in a storage space III. To retrieve these three pad lengths of the first selector switch 17 must be in the switching position 0 and only the second selector switch 20 can be set to the desired storage position. Subsequently, a brief tap of the button 18 is sufficient, so that the pad is produced in the desired length.

Um einen kontinuierlichen Betrieb von Polstern in Polsterlängen zu erreichen, die den abgespeicherten Längen I, II oder III entsprechen, ist der erste Wahlschalter 17 in die Schaltstellung CONT und der zweite Wahlschalter 20 in die jeweils abgespeicherte Polsterlänge I, II oder III zustellen, um eine kontinuierliche Herstellung von Polstern zu ermöglichen. Bei einem Verstellen des ersten Wahlschalters 17 in die Schaltstellung 0 wird die kontinuierliche Produktion angehalten.In order to achieve a continuous operation of upholstery in upholstery lengths corresponding to the stored lengths I, II or III, the first selector switch 17 in the switching position CONT and the second selector switch 20 in each stored cushion length I, II or III deliver to a allow continuous production of upholstery. When adjusting the first selector switch 17 in the switching position 0, the continuous production is stopped.

Es versteht sich, dass die Anzahl der Speicherplätze bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 5 rein beispielhaft ist und dass auch mehr oder weniger als zwei Speicherplätze vorgesehen werden können.It is understood that the number of memory locations in the embodiment of FIG. 5 is purely exemplary and that more or less than two memory locations can be provided.

Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Steuerung 10 weist ferner einen Sensor auf, der das bevorstehende Ende der Papierbahn detektiert, wobei die Steuerung 10 in Ansprechen auf den Sensor ein Signal erzeugt, das einen weiteren Betrieb der Maschine vorübergehend unterbricht, so dass früh genug eine neue Papierbahn in die Maschine eingelegt werden kann. Um diesen Sensor zu deaktivieren, ist an der Steuerung 10 ein weiterer Schalter 28 vorgesehen, mit dem der Sensor abgeschaltet werden kann.The controller 10 shown in FIG. 5 further includes a sensor which detects the impending end of the paper web, the controller 10, in response to the sensor, generating a signal which temporarily suspends further operation of the machine, such that a new one arrives soon enough Paper web can be inserted into the machine. To deactivate this sensor, a further switch 28 is provided on the controller 10, with which the sensor can be switched off.

Schließlich ist die Steuerung 10 mit einem weiteren (nicht dargestellten) Sensor versehen, der zwischen dem Antriebsrad der Maschine und der Schneideinrichtung vorgesehen ist, und der das produzierte Papierpolster in diesem Bereich direkt abtastet. Sofern in diesem Bereich ein Papierstau entstehen sollte, stoppt die Steuerung den Antriebsmotor, so dass der Papierstau rechtzeitig entfernt werden kann, bevor sich das Papier in der Maschine verkeilt.Finally, the controller 10 is provided with another sensor (not shown) provided between the drive wheel of the machine and the cutter, which directly scans the paper pad produced in this area. If a paper jam occurs in this area, the controller stops the drive motor so that the paper jam can be removed in a timely manner before the paper wedges in the machine.

Zur Herstellung von Wickeln wird mit dem zweiten Wahlschalter 20 eine vorher abgespeicherte Wickellänge I, II oder III ausgewählt. Nachfolgend wird mit Verstellen des ersten Wahlschalters 17 in die Schaltstellung WICKELN die elektromagnetische Kupplung 54 aktiviert und gleichzeitig der Betriebsablauf der Maschine wie folgt festgelegt: Durch Betätigen des Tasters 18 wird automatisch eine vorbestimmte Polsterlänge erzeugt und die Antriebseinrichtung 46 wird abgeschaltet, so dass das freie Ende des Polsterstrangs von Hand in die Wickeleinheit 52 eingeführt und in dem Schlitz 57 verklemmt werden kann. Danach werden durch eine zweite Betätigung des Tasters 18 die Kupplung 54 und die Antriebseinrichtung 46 aktiviert, wodurch automatisch die ausgewählte und vorher abgespeicherte Wickellänge erzeugt und der erzeugte Polsterstrang auf die Wickeleinheit 52 aufgewickelt wird. Erst danach wird die Schneidvorrichtung 45 aktiviert und gleichzeitig werden die elektromagnetische Kupplung 54 und die Antriebseinrichtung 46 deaktiviert. Nachfolgend kann der Wickel von der Wickeleinheit 52 seitlich abgezogen werden.For the production of windings, a previously stored winding length I, II or III is selected with the second selector switch 20. Subsequently, with adjustment of the first selector switch 17 in the switching position WRAP, the electromagnetic clutch 54 is activated and at the same time set the operation of the machine as follows: By pressing the button 18, a predetermined cushion length is automatically generated and the drive device 46 is turned off, so that the free end of the upholstery strand can be manually inserted into the winding unit 52 and clamped in the slot 57. Thereafter, the coupling 54 and the drive means 46 are activated by a second actuation of the button 18, whereby automatically generates the selected and previously stored winding length and the padding produced is wound on the winding unit 52. Only then is the cutting device 45 activated and at the same time the electromagnetic clutch 54 and the drive device 46 are deactivated. Subsequently, the winding can be withdrawn laterally from the winding unit 52.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die in ihren Grundfunktionen der Ausführungsform von Fig. 5 entspricht, die jedoch als Vollautomat ausgebildet ist. Aus diesem Grund sind in der Beschreibung für gleich wirkende Bauteile gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet.Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of the invention, which corresponds in its basic functions of the embodiment of Fig. 5, but which is designed as a fully automatic machine. For this reason, the same reference numerals are used in the description for equivalent components.

Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Steuerung 40 weist wiederum einen Hauptschalter 12, einen Notaustaster 14 und einen Starttaster 16 auf. Als Eingabemittel zum Starten und Anhalten der Maschine ist wiederum ein Taster 18 vorgesehen. Insofern unterscheiden sich die Ausbildung und der Betrieb der Steuerung 40 nicht von der Steuerung 10. Ferner ist ein Wahlschalter 17 vorgesehen, der drei Schaltstellungen 0, CONT und WICKELN aufweist. Zusätzlich ist in der Steuerung 40 jedoch eine Eingabetastatur 45 und eine Anzeige 90 vorgesehen mit denen, in der Schaltstellung 0 des Wahlschalters 17, weitere Steuerungsfunktionen abgerufen werden können. Beispielsweise lassen sich mit Hilfe der Eingabetastatur 45 verschiedene Betriebsmodi programmieren.The controller 40 shown in FIG. 6 in turn has a main switch 12, an emergency stop button 14 and a start button 16. As input means for starting and stopping the machine, a button 18 is again provided. In this respect, the training and the operation of the controller 40 are not different from the controller 10. Further, a selector switch 17 is provided which has three switch positions 0, CONT and WRAP. In addition, however, an input keyboard 45 and a display 90 are provided in the controller 40 with which, in the switching position 0 of the selector switch 17, further control functions can be retrieved. For example, 45 different operating modes can be programmed using the input keyboard.

Man erkennt in Fig. 6 weiterhin vier Funktionstasten 91, 92, 93, 94, mit welchen verschiedene Betriebsmodi programmiert werden können. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Funktionstasten 91, 92, 93 mit verschiedenen Programmen zu belegen, die jeweils eine bestimmte Anzahl von Papier-Polstern einer bestimmten Länge produzieren, sobald die Auslösetaste 95 betätigt worden ist. Beispielsweise kann jede Funktionstaste mit bis zu acht verschiedenen Kombinationen von Anzahl und Länge der herzustellenden Papier-Polster belegt werden also z.B.
f1 = a1 × 11 +a2 × 12 + a3 × 13 + a4 × 14 + a5 × 15 + a6 × 16 + a7 × 17 + a8 × 18, wobei a1-a8 jeweils die Anzahl der Papier-Polster und 11-18 jeweils die Länge der Papier-Polster bezeichnet. Jede der Funktionstasten 91, 92, 93 kann mit einem derartigen Programm belegt werden.It can be seen in Fig. 6 further four function keys 91, 92, 93, 94, with which various operating modes can be programmed. Thus, it is possible, for example, to assign the function keys 91, 92, 93 with different programs which each produce a certain number of paper pads of a certain length as soon as the release button 95 has been actuated. For example, each function key can be populated with up to eight different combinations of number and length of paper pad to be produced, eg
f1 = a1 × 11 + a2 × 12 + a3 × 13 + a4 × 14 + a5 × 15 + a6 × 16 + a7 × 17 + a8 × 18, where a1-a8 are respectively the number of paper pads and 11-18 respectively denotes the length of the paper pad. Each of the function keys 91, 92, 93 can be assigned to such a program.

Die Tasten 96, 97 und 98 sind Bestätigungs- bzw. Korrektur- bzw. Löschtasten, welche beim Programmieren eine Eingabe bestätigen, korrigieren oder löschen können. Die übrigen Tasten des in Fig. 3 gezeigten Bedienungsfelds sind dezimale Zahlentasten sowie eine Dezimalpunkttaste und eine Minustaste für ein negatives Vorzeichen.Keys 96, 97 and 98 are confirmation and clear keys, respectively, which can confirm, correct or erase an input during programming. The remaining keys of the control panel shown in Fig. 3 are decimal number keys as well as a decimal point key and a minus key for a negative sign.

Neben den im Bereich der Eingabetastatur 45 vorgesehenen Funktionstasten 91, 92 und 93 sind zusätzlich neben der Eingabetastatur 45 drei weitere Taster 46, 48 und 50 vorgesehen, die zu den Tasten 91, 92 und 93 der Eingabetastatur 45 parallel geschaltet sind. Hierdurch lässt sich der Bedienungskomfort weiter erhöhen, da die baulich größer ausgestalteten Taster 46 bis 50 wesentlich leichter und schneller zu bedienen sind als die relativ kleinen Tasten 91 bis 93 der Eingabetastatur 45.In addition to the function keys 91, 92 and 93 provided in the area of the input keyboard 45, three further keys 46, 48 and 50 are additionally provided in addition to the input keyboard 45, which are connected in parallel to the keys 91, 92 and 93 of the input keyboard 45. This makes it possible to increase the ease of use, since the structurally larger designed buttons 46 to 50 are much easier and faster to use than the relatively small buttons 91 to 93 of the input keyboard 45th

In der Schaltstellung CONT des Wahlschalters 17 ist eine kontinuierliche Produktion der automatisch abgespeicherten Polsterlänge möglich.In the switching position CONT of the selector switch 17, a continuous production of the automatically stored cushion length is possible.

Bei der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Steuerung 40 sind der Taster 18 für die Herstellung eines einzelnen Polsters sowie die Tasten 91 bis 93 der Eingabetastatur 45 und auch die Taster 46, 48 und 50 gleichberechtigt, d.h. jeder dieser Taster bzw. Tasten kann aufeinander folgend betätigt werden, ohne dass dazwischen eine weitere Taste der Steuerung betätigt werden muss oder ein Programmwechselschalter aktiviert werden muss. Mit Hilfe der Eingabetastatur 45 können verschiedene vorprogrammierte Polsterlängen oder Sortimente von Polstern, d.h. verschiedene Polsterlänge in einer bestimmten Stückzahl, abgerufen werden. Auch ist es möglich, mit Hilfe der Eingabetastatur 45 die Steuerung zu programmieren. Bei Einschalten der Steuerung durch Betätigen des Starttasters 16 wird in der Anzeige 90 eine voreingestellte Standardpolsterlänge angezeigt, die dann durch Betätigen der Taste 91 der Eingabetastatur 45 oder durch Betätigen des Tasters 46 abgerufen werden kann.In the controller 40 shown in Fig. 6, the single pad making key 18 and the keys 91 to 93 of the input keyboard 45 and also the keys 46, 48 and 50 are equal, i. Each of these buttons or keys can be operated consecutively, without the need to press another button of the controller in between or a program change switch must be activated. By means of the input keyboard 45, various pre-programmed cushion lengths or assortments of pads, i. different padding length in a certain number, be retrieved. It is also possible to program the control with the aid of the input keyboard 45. When switching on the control by pressing the start button 16, a preset standard cushion length is displayed in the display 90, which can then be accessed by pressing the key 91 of the input keyboard 45 or by pressing the button 46.

Wie aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung ersichtlich ist, sind bei der Steuerung 40 neben der Eingabetastatur 45 zusätzlich großflächige mechanische Taster 18 und 46 - 50 vorgesehen, die teilweise redundant sind, um eine schnelle und sichere Betätigung der Maschine zu ermöglichen.As can be seen from the above description, in the controller 40 in addition to the input keyboard 45 in addition large-area mechanical Buttons 18 and 46 - 50 are provided, which are partially redundant, to allow a quick and safe operation of the machine.

Ist in der Steuerung 40 beispielsweise ein Programm zur Herstellung bestimmter Polsterlängen ausgeführt worden, so ist es ohne weiteres möglich, ohne Umschalten eines Moduswahlschalters in den manuellen Betriebsmodus zu wechseln. Umgekehrt ist es auch möglich, aus dem manuellen oder halbautomatischen Betriebsmodus in den vollautomatischen Betriebsmodus zu wechseln, in welchem das gespeicherte Programm ausgeführt wird. Auch dies ist ohne ein Umschalten eines Moduswahlschalters möglich, im Unterschied zu Maschinen gemäß dem Stand der Technik, wo ein separater Moduswahlschalter bedient werden muss, um von einem Betriebsmodus in einen anderen zu wechseln.If, for example, a program for the production of certain cushion lengths has been carried out in the controller 40, then it is easily possible to switch to the manual operating mode without switching over a mode selector switch. Conversely, it is also possible to change from the manual or semi-automatic operating mode to the fully automatic operating mode in which the stored program is executed. Again, this is possible without switching a mode selector, unlike prior art machines where a separate mode selector switch must be operated to switch from one mode of operation to another.

Zur Herstellung von Wickeln werden mit Hilfe der Eingabetastatur Polsterlängen abgespeichert, die durch Betätigen der Taster abgerufen werden können. Durch Verstellen des ersten Wahlschalters 17 in die Schaltstellung WICKELN wird die elektromagnetische Kupplung aktiviert und gleichzeitig der gleiche Betriebsablauf wie bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 5 festgelegt.For the production of coils, pad lengths are stored with the aid of the input keyboard, which can be called up by pressing the buttons. By adjusting the first selector switch 17 in the switching position WRAP the electromagnetic clutch is activated and at the same time the same operation as in the embodiment of FIG. 5 set.
