Description

PEFFECTIONNEMENT APPORTE A UN DISPOSITIF D' ENCFiOISUFE AMOVIBLE PAIRING WITH A REMOVABLE INSERT DEVICE
La présente invention est relative à un perfectionnement apporté à un dispositif permettant d' assurer l' étirage et l' enroulement de fil en matière organique ou mi nérale, notamment de verre.The present invention relates to an improvement made to a device for ensuring the stretching and winding of yarn organic or inorganic material, especially glass.
BIe vise plus particulièrement un perfectionnement apporté à un dispositif d' encroisure amovible.BIe is more particularly an improvement to a removable crimp device.
On rappelle que la fabrication de fils de verre de renforcement résulte d' un processus industriel complexe qui consiste à obtenir des fi ls à partir de filets de verre fondu s' écoulant au travers des orifices de filières. Ces filets sont étirés sous forme de fi laments continus, puis ces fi laments sont rassemblés en fi ls de base, lesquels fils sont ensuite collectés sous forme de bobine. Au sens de l' i nvention, les bobines se présentent sous forme d' enroulements à f lancs droits, ou sous la forme d' enroulements cyli ndriques. La mise sous forme de bobine est réalisée à l' aide de bobinoi rs, qui comme leur nom l' i ndique, sont chargés d' enrouler à très haute vitesse (environ 10 à 50 mètres par seconde) les fi ls de verre qui ont été préalablement ensimés.It is recalled that the manufacture of reinforcing glass strands is the result of a complex industrial process which consists in obtaining threads from molten glass threads flowing through the spinneret orifices. These fillets are drawn as continuous filaments, and then these filaments are gathered into base yarns, which yarns are then collected as a spool. In the sense of the invention, the coils are in the form of windings with straight fudges, or in the form of cylindrical windings. The coiling is carried out by means of coils which, as their name suggests, are responsible for winding at very high speed (approximately 10 to 50 meters per second) the glass wires which have previously sized.
Ces bobinoi rs assurent l' étirage et l' enroulement de ces fils et les paramètres de fonctionnement de ces bobinoirs conditionnent avec ceux de la filière les caractéristiques dimensionnelles du fil, notamment le titre expri mé en tex (le tex étant le poids en grammes de 1000 mètres de fibres ou fils). Ai nsi, pour garanti r un titre constant du fil durant toute la phase d' élaboration de la bobi ne malgré l' augmentation de son diamètre, la vitesse de l' organe d' enroulement du bobi noir est asservie de manière à assurer une vitesse linéaire d' enroulement du fil constante bien que sa vitesse angulai re varie, cet asservissement de vitesse étant réalisé en faisant diminuer la vitesse de rotation de la broche qui supporte la bobi ne en fonction de I ' augment at i on de son di amèt re. Un autre paramètre important qui conditionne l' obtention d' une bobi ne de qualité optimale consiste dans son aptitude à être facilement déroulé, sans présence de boucles, de nœuds parasites, avec limitation des f rottements.These coils ensure the drawing and winding of these yarns and the operating parameters of these winders condition with those of the die the dimensional characteristics of the yarn, in particular the title given in tex (the tex being the weight in grams of yarn). 1000 meters of fibers or threads). In order to guarantee a constant yarn count during the entire bobi development phase, despite the increase of its diameter, the speed of the black bobi winding member is enslaved so as to ensure a speed. linear winding of the constant wire although its angular velocity varies, this speed control being achieved by decreasing the speed of rotation of the spindle which supports the boom as a function of the increase in its di ameter . Another important parameter which determines the obtaining of an optimum quality package is its ability to be easily unrolled, without the presence of loops, parasitic nodes, with limitation of furrings.
Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire que la répartition axiale des fils bobinés en direct sur la broche rotative soit opti male. A cette fin, le bobinoir est pourvu d' un ou plusieurs guides fils qui assurent la répartition axiale et le positionnement des fi ls le long d' une ou de plusieurs bobines par un mouvement de va et vient synchronisé avec la rotation de la broche, ce guide fil ou ces guides fils font partie d' un sous-ensemble du bobinoir que l' on appelle généralement dispositif d' encroisure.To do this, it is necessary that the axial distribution of the son wound live on the rotating spindle is optimal. For this purpose, the winder is provided with one or more wire guides which provide the axial distribution and the positioning of the wires along one or more coils by a reciprocating movement synchronized with the rotation of the spindle, this wire guide or these son guides are part of a subset of the winder which is generally called crimping device.
Ce dispositif d' encroisure est monté sur un support mobile permettant son repositionnement permanent au cours du bobinage, parallèlement à l' axe de broche, pour lui permettre de conserver une certai ne distance entre le ou les guides fils et la surface cylindrique externe de la ou des bobi nes dont le diamètre évolue tout au long de sa ou de leur construction.This crimping device is mounted on a movable support allowing its permanent repositioning during winding, parallel to the spindle axis, to allow it to maintain a certain distance between the wire guide (s) and the outer cylindrical surface of the spindle. or bobi nes whose diameter changes throughout its or their construction.
Les bobi noirs connus sont essentiellement constitués d' un châssis généralement positionné en dessous d' une filière, ce châssis supportant le dispositif d' encroisure et au moins une broche mobile en rotation, cette broche étant adaptée d' une part, pour générer la bobine et d' autre part, pour supporter cette dernière.The known black bobi consist essentially of a frame generally positioned below a die, this frame supporting the crisscrossing device and at least one spindle movable in rotation, this spindle being adapted on the one hand to generate the spool. and on the other hand, to support the latter.
Classiquement un dispositif d' encroisure comprend principalement au moins une came cylindrique rainurée qui assure la fonction de va et vient du ou des guides fils, ces derniers étant guidés en translation entre 2 réglettes parallèles à l'axe de la came. La came est entraînée en rotation par un moteur par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission mécanique et arrosée en permanence par des buses de pulvérisation qui assure son nettoyage permanent garant d'un non encrassement du fait de l'ambiance du procédé.Conventionally a crimping device comprises mainly at least one grooved cylindrical cam which provides the function of back and forth of the son guides or guides, the latter being guided in translation between two strips parallel to the axis of the cam. The cam is rotated by a motor through a mechanical transmission and continuously sprayed by spray nozzles which ensures its permanent cleaning ensuring a non-fouling due to the environment of the process.
Pour obteni r la capacité totale d' enroulement, il est nécessaire que le dispositif d' encroisure tel que précédemment décrit ou tout autre dispositif équivalent, puisse décrire la longueur de la bobi ne. A cette fin, dans les bobinoirs connus, le curseur est monté mobile selon un mouvement de va et vient en translation sur un arbre solidaire du châssis et parallèle à l' axe de la broche, ce deuxième mouvement de translation permettant ainsi de couvri r la longueur de l' enroulement.To obtain the total winding capacity, it is necessary that the creasing device as previously described or any other equivalent device, can describe the length of the bobi ne. To this end, in the known winders, the slider is movably mounted in a reciprocating motion on a shaft integral with the frame and parallel to the axis of the pin, this second translation movement thus making it possible to cover the length of the winding.
Afin que le bobinage de la bobine se réalise de manière optimale, il est nécessaire que le fonctionnement du dispositif d' encroisure le soit également, on conçoit alors que l' on procède à i ntervalles réguliers à une phase de maintenance au niveau du dispositif d' encroisure, cette phase de maintenance entraînant de ce fait à une interruption de la production que l' on cherche bien entendu à en li miter la f réquence et la durée.In order for the coil winding to be carried out optimally, it is necessary that the operation of the crimping device is also smooth, it is then conceivable that a maintenance phase is carried out at regular intervals at the level of the device. This phase of maintenance therefore leads to an interruption of production, which is of course sought to limit the frequency and duration.
La présente invention vise donc à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif d' encroisure qui optimise les phases de maintenance sur le dispositif d' encroisure.The present invention therefore aims to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a crimping device that optimizes the maintenance phases on the crimping device.
A cet effet, le dispositif d' encroisure selon l' i nvention, se caractérise en ce qu' il comprend au moins une première partie reliée à un élément de châssis d' un bobi noir et au moins une seconde partie comportant des moyens de dépose et de guidage d' au moins un fil, lesdites première partie et seconde partie étant reliées entre-elles de telle sorte que la seconde partie occupe une première position dite de travai l dans laquelle le fil peut être déposé sous la forme d' une bobine et une seconde position dans laquelle la seconde partie est séparée de la première partie correspondant à une phase de maintenance de la seconde partie, la seconde partie étant interchangeable.For this purpose, the crimping device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least a first part connected to a frame element of a black bobi and at least a second part comprising removal means. and guiding at least one wire, said first portion and second portion being interconnected so that the second portion occupies a first work position in which the wire can be deposited as a coil. and a second position in which the second portion is separated from the first portion corresponding to a maintenance phase of the second portion, the second portion being interchangeable.
Grâce à ces dispositions et notamment à la présence d' un dispositif d' encroisure en deux parties séparables (cassette séparable), i l est possible de procéder à des phases de mai ntenance pratiquement en temps masqué. La réalisation d' une cassette en deux parties, l' une d' elle restant solidai re du bâti , l' autre étant démontable et interchangeable, permet de constituer pour cette dernière une pièce de rechange, qui peut être rapidement remplacée par une pièce simi laire, sans quasi ment, aucune interruption de production.Thanks to these arrangements and in particular to the presence of a crisscross device in two separable parts (separable cassette), it is possible to carry out maintenance phases practically in masked time. The realization of a cassette in two parts, one of which remains solid with the frame, the other being removable and interchangeable, makes it possible to constitute for it a spare part, which can be quickly replaced by a similar part. almost without interruption of production.
Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, on peut éventuellement avoir recours en outre à l'une et/ ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes :In preferred embodiments of the invention, one or more of the following may also be used:
- La première partie et la seconde partie comportent des moyens de guidage complémentaires qui permettent un mouvement relatif entre la première position et la seconde position de la seconde partie,- The first part and the second part comprise complementary guide means that allow relative movement between the first position and the second position of the second part,

- les première et seconde parties comportent des moyens de verrouillage adaptés pour libérer les moyens de guidage lorsque la seconde partie du dispositif d' encroisure est en position de travail, - La seconde partie comporte au moins une came cyli ndrique rai nurée qui assure la fonction de va et vient du ou des guides fils, ces derniers étant guidés en translation entre deux réglettes parallèles à l' axe de la came,the first and second parts comprise locking means adapted to release the guide means when the second part of the crisscrossing device is in the working position, the second part comprises at least one radial cam which is provided with the function back and forth of the son guide or guides, the latter being guided in translation between two strips parallel to the axis of the cam,
- La première partie et la seconde partie comportent chacun des moyens d' accouplement mécanique permettant d' assurer la mise en mouvement de ladite came et des moyens de connexion d' un f luide de nettoyage de ladite came et du ou des guides fi Is, Les moyens de connexion du f luide de nettoyage sont obturables lorsque la seconde partie du dispositif d' encroisure est séparée de la première partie.- The first part and the second part each comprise mechanical coupling means for ensuring the setting in motion of said cam and connection means of a cleaning fluid of said cam and fî guides, The connection means of the cleaning fluid are closable when the second part of the crimping device is separated from the first part.
Dautres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description suivante d'une de ses formes de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif , en regard des dessins j oints.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of one of its embodiments, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
SUr les dessi ns : - La figure 1 est une vue schématique de face d' un bobinoi r incorporant un dispositif d' encroisure selon l' invention,In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view of a winder incorporating a crimping device according to the invention,
- La figure 2 est une vue de face d' un dispositif d' encroisure selon l' invention,FIG. 2 is a front view of a creasing device according to the invention,
- La figure 3 est une vue de côté de la figure 2, - La figure 4 est une vue de côté du dispositif d' encroisure en position de travai l,FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a side view of the crimping device in working position;
- La figure 5 est simi laire à la figure 4 mais avec le dispositif d' encroisure en position de maintenance, Selon un mode préféré de réalisation d' un bobinoi r 1 selon l' invention illustré en figure 1 , celui-ci comporte un châssis métallique obtenu par une technique de mécano soudages d' éléments métalliques préalablement usi nés ou disponibles en standard dans le commerce. Ce châssis comporte essentiellement une embase sensiblement rectangulaire reposant sur des pieds j udicieusement placés de manière à correspondre au gabarit ou à l' écartement des fourches d' un transpalette ou d' un dispositif de manutention analogue afin de faciliter l' implantation de ce bobinoir dans une position de fibrage. Sur cette embase est assemblée une structure fermée qui est destinée à recevoir tous les composants nécessaires au fonctionnement du bobi noir 1. A ce titre, et de manière non limitative, cette structure fermée conformée en armoi re est pourvue des dispositifs de contrôle et de commande nécessaires aux pi lotages des différents organes qui seront décrits plus loi n dans la présente description (réseaux, hydrauliques, électriques, d' air comprimé, et d' autres f luides nécessai res au fonctionnement desdits organes).FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4 but with the creasing device in the maintenance position, According to a preferred embodiment of a winding r 1 according to the invention illustrated in Figure 1, it comprises a metal frame obtained by a technique of mechanically welded metal elements previously usi ned or available as standard commercially. This frame essentially comprises a substantially rectangular base resting on j udiciously placed feet so as to correspond to the jig or the spacing of the forks of a pallet truck or a similar handling device in order to facilitate the installation of this winder in a fibering position. On this base is assembled a closed structure which is intended to receive all the components necessary for the operation of the black bobi 1. As such, and in a nonlimiting manner, this closed structure shaped armature is provided with control devices and control necessary for the pi lotages of the various organs which will be described more law n in the present description (networks, hydraulic, electrical, compressed air, and other fluids necessary to the functioning of said organs).
Sur la structure fermée coopère un barillet qui est monté mobi le en rotation autour d' un axe de rotation et est maintenu au sein d' une des parois de la structure fermée par l' intermédiaire d' un organe rotatif de guidage (couronne à billes).On the closed structure cooperates a cylinder which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and is held within one of the walls of the closed structure by means of a rotary guide member (ball ring ).
En effet ce barillet constitue un ensemble support de broche 6. Sur la figure 1 , on remarque que le barillet comporte une broche 6 (on pourrait concevoir un barillet disposant de plusieurs broches selon des positions diamétralement opposées ou un bari llet comportant au moins trois, quatre broches, voi re plus, suivant l' encombrement dont on dispose et les capacités de la filière positionnée en amont). Au sei n du bobinoir, le barillet permet de transférer une broche 6 préalablement déchargée et munie d' au moins une manchette vierge (au sens de l' invention, une manchette est un support par exemple en matière plastique ou en carton qui est destinée à recevoir la bobine 8 de fils) en position de bobinage et de transférer si multanément une autre broche disposant de ses manchettes pleines vers une position de déchargement par des rotations de 180°, bien entendu si le barillet comporte deux broches. La broche 6 solidai re du barillet constitue un ensemble tournant adapté pour bobi ner le fil sur une manchette préalablement introduite sur une broche 6. Ce bobinage s' effectue selon un premier axe de rotation sensiblement parallèle à l' axe de rotation du bari llet . SUr la figure 1 , il apparaît un autre élément qui est essentiel pour la réalisation de l' enroulement. Il s' agit du dispositif de positionnement et de guidage du fil sur la broche ou plus généralement appelé « dispositif d' encroisure » repéré 5.Indeed, this barrel constitutes a spindle support assembly 6. In FIG. 1, it can be seen that the barrel comprises a spindle 6 (it is possible to design a barrel with several spindles in diametrically opposite positions or a baryllet comprising at least three spindles). four pins, see more, depending on the space available and the capacities of the die positioned upstream). At the end of the winder, the barrel makes it possible to transfer a spindle 6 previously unloaded and provided with at least one blank sleeve (in the sense of the invention, a sleeve is a support, for example made of plastic or cardboard, which is intended for receive the coil 8 of son) in the winding position and simultaneously transfer another pin having its full cuffs to an unloading position by rotations of 180 °, of course if the barrel has two pins. The pin 6 solidai re cylinder is a rotating assembly adapted to bobi ner the wire on a sleeve previously introduced on a spindle 6. This winding is performed along a first axis of rotation substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the bari llet. In FIG. 1, there is another element which is essential for the realization of the winding. It is the device for positioning and guiding the wire on the spindle or more generally called "creasing device" marked 5.
Dans cet exemple représenté en détails au niveau des figures 2 et 3, ce dispositif d' encroisure 5 comporte au moins une came 9 cyli ndrique rainurée qui assure la fonction de va et vient du ou des guides fi Is 4, ces derniers étant guidés en translation entre 2 réglettes 2 parallèles à l' axe de la came 9. La came 9 est entraînée en rotation par un moteur 11 par l' intermédiaire d' une transmission mécanique 17 et arrosée en permanence par des buses de pulvérisation 3 qui assure son nettoyage.In this example, shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, this crimping device 5 comprises at least one grooved cylindrical cam 9 which provides the function of back and forth of the guides 4 and 4, the latter being guided by translation between 2 strips 2 parallel to the axis of the cam 9. The cam 9 is rotated by a motor 11 by means of a mechanical transmission 17 and continuously sprayed with spray nozzles 3 which ensures its cleaning .
En variante représentée sur les figures, il peut s' agir d' un curseur mobile au sei n d' une gorge, le curseur se déplaçant li néairement suivant un deuxième axe sensiblement parallèle à l' axe de rotation de la broche 6.As a variant shown in the figures, it may be a movable cursor at one end of a groove, the slider moving longitudinally along a second axis substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the spindle 6.
Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, le dispositif d' encroisure 5 peut se rapprocher ou s' écarter de la surface périphérique externe de la bobi ne au cours du bobinage de cette dernière, notamment par rotation autour d' un axe d' articulation, cet axe d' articulation servant de point de liaison entre le châssis du bobinoir et le dispositif d' encroisure.Whatever the embodiment, the crimping device 5 can move closer to or away from the outer peripheral surface of the bobi during the winding thereof, in particular by rotation about a hinge axis, this axis of articulation serving as connection point between the winding frame and the crimping device.
Sur les figures 4 et 5, on a représenté schématiquement le dispositif d' encroisure 5 selon l' i nvention. Celui-ci est en deux parties (une première 12 et une seconde 13), ces deux parties 12, 13 coopèrent entre-elles par l' intermédiaire de moyens de guidage de forme complémentaire. Dans l' exemple représenté, les moyens de guidage sont réalisés sous la forme d' au moins un rail au niveau de la première partie 12 du dispositif d' encroisure 5 et coulissent au sein d' au moi ns une rainure pratiquée au niveau de la seconde partie 13 du dispositif d' encroisure.Figures 4 and 5 schematically shows the crimping device 5 according 1'invention. It is in two parts (a first 12 and a second 13), these two parts 12, 13 cooperate with each other through guide means of complementary shape. In the example shown, the guiding means are made in the form of at least one rail at the first part 12 of the crisscrossing device 5 and slide in the middle of a groove in the groove. second part 13 of the creasing device.
On comprend aisément que l' on peut intervertir le type de moyens de guidage entre la première et la seconde partie du dispositif d' encroisure, voire même concevoi r d' autres types de moyens de guidage équivalents entre ces deux parties de sorte que la seconde partie puisse avoir un mouvement relatif par rapport à la première partie du dispositif d' encroisure. Dans cet exemple, il s' agit d' un mouvement de translation qui permet de désolidariser la seconde partie de la première partie.It is easy to understand that the type of guide means can be reversed between the first and the second part of the creasing device, or even conceive of other types of equivalent guiding means between these two parts so that the second part can have a relative movement with respect to the first part of the crimping device. In this example, it is a translation movement that allows to separate the second part of the first part.
En figure 4, les 2 parties sont solidaires et le dispositif d' encroisure est en position de travail correspondant en fait à une phase de bobinage d' au moins un fil en surface périphérique d' une bobi ne. Au sens de l' invention, en position de travail, les moyens de guidage sont « libérés ». Dans cette position les moyens de guidage ne portent pas, les deux parties du dispositif d' encroisure reposent en leur extrémité par des surfaces de verrouillage qui constituent des portées au travers desquelles les efforts sont reportés.In FIG. 4, the two parts are integral and the creasing device is in the working position corresponding in fact to a winding phase of at least one wire at the peripheral surface of a bobiole. In the sense of the invention, in the working position, the guide means are "released". In this position the guide means do not bear, the two parts of the crisscross device rest at their end by locking surfaces which constitute staves through which the efforts are reported.
En figure 5, les 2 parties coulissent l' une par rapport à l' autre, le dispositif d' encroisure est en phase de démontage en vue de son changement ou de sa maintenance. Dans cette position, les moyens de guidage sont actifs et supportent le poids de la seconde partie durant toute la phase de démontage (de mouvement relatif entre les deux parties du dispositif d' encroisure).In Figure 5, the two parts slide relative to each other, the crimping device is in disassembly phase for its change or maintenance. In this position, the guiding means are active and support the weight of the second part during the entire disassembly phase (relative movement between the two parts of the crimping device).
Cette phase de maintenance peut concerner notamment les guides fi ls 4 qui s' usent rapidement, les buses de pulvérisation 3 qui peuvent venir à se boucher, les organes de transmission 16, 17 se détériorer, ai nsi que la came 9 et ses enroulements qui peut s' encrasser ou s' user malgré le lavage, et plus rarement le moteur 11 qui peut tomber en panne.This maintenance phase may concern in particular the wire guides 4 which wear quickly, the spray nozzles 3 which can become clogged, the transmission members 16, 17 to deteriorate, and the cam 9 and its windings which may become dirty or wear despite the washing, and more rarely the engine 11 which may fail.
La seconde partie 12 du dispositif d'encroisure conforme une cassette amovible interchangeable et éventuellement différente d'une application produit à une autre.The second portion 12 of the crimping device conforms to an interchangeable removable cassette and possibly different from one product application to another.
Pour facilité les manœuvres de montage et démontage, cette cassette est par ailleurs d'un poids total inférieur à la limite fixée par la réglementation en vigueur concernant le port de charge par un opérateur, elle s'affranchie du raccordement en eau 15 et de l'accouplement 16 de transmission mécanique du mouvement de rotation du le moteur, par une jonction automatique assurée d'une part par un connecteur automatique obturable pour l'eau et d'autre part par un système de prise direct à crabot pour la jonction mécanique. L' invention telle que précédemment décrite off re de multiples avantages :For ease of assembly and disassembly maneuvers, this cassette is also of a total weight less than the limit fixed by the regulations in force concerning the load port by an operator, it is freed from the water connection 15 and the coupling 16 mechanical transmission of the rotational movement of the engine, by an automatic connection provided on the one hand by a closable automatic connector for water and on the other hand by a direct gripping system clutch for mechanical joining. The invention as previously described offers many advantages:
Elle permet de réduire le temps d'intervention de maintenance sur le sous- ensemble encroisure en le rendant très facilement interchangeable, à un seul homme, sans avoir à bouger le bobinoir de sa position de production et avec un outillage simple. It makes it possible to reduce the time of maintenance intervention on the sub-assembly encroisure by rendering it very easily interchangeable, to a single man, without having to move the winder of its position of production and with a simple tooling.
