Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for changing roles in a winding device having at least one winding position, in which a following roll is transported by means of a transport unit from a storage in the winding position.
  • the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the invention will be described below with reference to a paper web as an example of a material web. However, it is also applicable to other material webs that can be handled in a similar way. Furthermore, the winding device will be described with reference to a development in a slitter-winder. However, the invention is also applicable to other winding devices in which rollers within a winding station assume a winding position and are changed. It is therefore to be understood that the invention also encompasses methods for changing roles at take-up positions. Under an exchange role is understood in the following, that role that is still in the winding position of a winding station at the beginning of the change process and is replaced during the change process by a roller, which is referred to here as a follower role.
  • a full tambour created in the reeling at the end of the paper machine can reach large diameters today, with web widths of up to 10.5 m to be wound, depending on the type of paper. For newsprint, for example, diameters are wound around 3 m, for heavy paper or cardboard even up to 4.5 m. In contrast, only smaller roll diameters are achieved with more sensitive paper grades.
  • the paper webs are cut in so-called slitters in the longitudinal direction.
  • Two types of slitter-winder are known, the sling-roll cutting machines in which the individual, resulting finished rolls are wound in a common winding bed, and the back-up roll cutting machines, which have their own winding station for each finished roll to be produced.
  • both genera basically have the same conditions for settlement.
  • transfer or doctor scooters whose task is the rollover of full drums, and where occasionally a trim can be performed.
  • the success of the change process depends very much on the ability of the operator to coordinate the two movements properly.
  • a machine operator tries to move the newly inserted reel to the pre-position above the reeling position, while the reel to be replaced still rotates in the coiler station, he must rely on his own judgment.
  • the described movements of the paper web rolls or winding cores involved in the changing process are largely separated one after the other, which inevitably leads to a relatively long standstill of the slitter-winder.
  • the object of the invention is to shorten the change process of roles at a winding position in time and make it safer.
  • At least one agent available is that the position of the follower role, or a vulnerable portion thereof, at least temporarily recorded before reaching the winding position.
  • the position of the follower roller can be detected continuously with the method according to the invention.
  • the data thus obtained provide an ideal basis for operating the change process and allow a particularly high level of safety, since the position of the role is not only determined at significant points of the change process, but the path of the roles, at least in sections, continuously monitored.
  • a variant of the method can be of great practical importance, which detects the position of the follower roll at intervals. Such a procedure can already guarantee an absolutely sufficient degree of security. Also, the means for detecting the position of the follower roller to be provided therefor on a winding device can be easily attached at a suitable location.
  • the abovementioned method variants also make it possible for the position of the follower roller to be recorded accompanying at least one predefined route section.
  • a method according to the invention allows for design variants according to which the change process is controlled or regulated.
  • the at least one means for activating perceptible signals to the operator in particular procedures are provided which provide the electronic processing of the detected parameters and allow in particularly preferred variants, a user-free or largely operator-free operation.
  • This allows for particularly short system response times and eliminates human error.
  • a high reproducibility of the processes is guaranteed.
  • Further advantages result from the electronic links of surrounding control systems, for example, an upstream Tambour charactertician or monitoring units for the production speed before or nachoter processing stations, as well as with higher-level control systems, such as the overall monitoring of incoming or imminent business interruptions.
  • a worker can be largely exempted from the potential danger area.
  • the acquired data in particular position values, are used to avoid a collision of the roles to be changed. In this way expensive production losses can be avoided and the integrity of the rolls guaranteed. Finally, a source of danger for man and machine is eliminated.
  • a method according to the invention can be configured particularly advantageously if the acquired data, in particular position values, are used to shorten the change process in terms of time. This is especially in terms of boosting the Process performance is important and is possible because you can waive on the basis of the collected data on then redundant safety instructions, such as above-described retention periods in waiting positions outside the settlement.
  • a method according to the invention it is possible to bring the follower roller close to the winding position with still rotating in the winding position changing role. In particular, this makes it possible to spend the following role in a pre-position, which is preferably above the winding position.
  • the follower roller may already settle in case of any pendulum movements and must be lowered after ejection of the change role from the winding position only in this.
  • the at least one means can advantageously activate signals which are used to influence at least one degree of freedom and / or the transport speed of the following roller and / or its transport unit at least intermittently.
  • the signal can be used to stop the transport movement of the follower roller on its way to the winding position or at least to influence in certain directions, such as forward, backward, up, down, about to lock or release again, or to delay or accelerate.
  • the following role can be spent in the winding position, avoiding possible collision hazards in a safe and rapid manner.
  • a creeping speed can be assumed immediately before reaching the winding position, in order to introduce the follower roll particularly gently into the winding position.
  • a method according to the invention is advantageously designed if the follower roller is introduced into the winding position while maintaining previously defined safety distances.
  • the safety distances can be programmed machine-bound and leave the operator a certain choice in the determination of the set safety distances case by case.
  • safety distances against moving parts in particular against the still rotating and / or even from the winding position removing exchange roller, are greater than the safety distances against dormant components.
  • the use of defined safety distances results in an increase in collision safety and, with a suitable choice, allows a higher tolerance of other functional sequences.
  • the respective orientation of the at least one agent in space may be invariable or at least temporarily changeable.
  • invariably designed means for detecting the position or the position of the follower roll a particularly price-oriented solution, since the components required for this are in themselves inexpensive and no additional structural measures are required. In addition, no complex software is required for signal processing of such components.
  • the wishes of the operators of such winding devices, or the framework conditions, in particular the structural conditions can be such that the use of at least temporarily changeable means is required.
  • the orientation of at least two agents differs. In this way it is possible to monitor the space in more than one dimension. In particular, it is thus also possible to create security gaps and / or security rooms in any desired position in the room.
  • optical, acoustic or electromagnetic devices are used as means for detecting the position or position of the follower roll.
  • imaging devices light or laser sensors, in the acoustic devices ultrasonic, infrasound, in the electromagnetic devices radar or microwave sensors are preferred.
  • a light or laser device offers the advantages of particularly inexpensive components, simple processing software and the possibility of visible functional verification.
  • An optical device generally offers the advantage of high focusability of the objects to be monitored.
  • image-forming devices, in particular cameras offer the advantage that the detection of the object, in this case the follow-on role, is particularly meaningful, and provides a particularly well-founded basis for monitoring, and in particular an associated controlling or regulating intervention.
  • an acoustic device can be designed such that the sensor is simultaneously the receiver. This can be of great advantage under certain structural conditions. Since the sound waves propagate in space, it is also conceivable that an acoustic device is used in a suitable manner for direct distance measurement, in particular between the moving parts, in particular between the rollers involved in the change.
  • electromagnetic sensors on the other hand, the material differences of the components to be monitored, such as the wound paper web and the surrounding steel machine components, can be exploited particularly well, since in addition to their density, their electronic and magnetic conductivity also influence the resonance behavior used for the detection. Irrespective of the type of sensor, with appropriate sensor alignment and signal processing, indications are given of the movement speeds of the rollers involved in the change.
  • the winding device is a slitter-winder, since the slitter-cutting machines are of great importance with regard to maintaining the process speed of papermaking. After deducting buffer capacity, the process capacity of the slitter must be at least as high as that of the Paper machine, which is why a time saving at the roll change here is of particular importance.
  • the winding position is an unwinding position. This is particularly advantageous in a slitter-winder, since the change of bobbin, due to the high masses to be moved, generally lasts longer than the change of the partial-web rolls involved in the winding.
  • the above-described object is achieved in that means are provided which are suitable to detect a freedom of movement for the follower roller on its way to the winding position. It is understood as a freedom of movement of that area in which the follower roller on its way to the winding position is movable without collision, it is not important whether the freedom of movement is closed, or at least one side open.
  • a movement clearance can also be understood as the area located above a, for example inclined or curved, plane.
  • the freedom of movement is detected, for example, by means of an image-forming device or sensors and actuators, then it is an imaginary freedom of movement which preferably takes effect in conjunction with a suitable control unit which at least indirectly has at least one degree of freedom and / or transport speed Following role and / or their transport unit at least temporarily influence can. It can be taken into account by the provided freedom of movement already desired safety distances. In this way, the device of the underlying task is particularly well.
  • the means detecting the follower roller can be movable, displaceable, rotatable and / or pivotable for detecting the movement clearance.
  • the freedom of movement can thus be unchangeable or changeable over the period of movement of the follower roller.
  • a freedom of movement will be clearly definable on a winding device and can thus be formed unchangeable.
  • a variable range of motion is to take account of any incidents beneficial.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 a device for carrying out the method according to the invention is shown with reference to a development (1).
  • a coordinate system has been entered in the lower right-hand screen area. Its x-axis points in the machine direction, the y-direction indicates the transverse direction, ie the width of the system, while the height is in the z-direction.
  • the winding station (2) rotates an exchange roller (7) in its winding position (2a), wherein continuously web of material (9) unwound from it and the connected processing station, such as a cutting section, not shown, is supplied.
  • a first sensor (6) is mounted, which is aligned opposite to the machine direction (x) in the example shown. If the change roller (7) located in the winding position (2a) now falls below a predefined diameter due to the unwinding process described above, the sensor (6) can be optical, acoustic or electromagnetic Signal received. It is irrelevant whether the sensor (6) also acts as an actuator or receives the signal from a suitably positioned, corresponding actuator.
  • the sensor (6) now outputs an enable signal which is forwarded directly to a computer unit, not shown, which can indirectly or directly influence the transport movement of the follower roller (8) and initiates the transport of the follower roller (8) , It is not important for the inventive method, if the follower roller (8) is then taken from an upstream, not shown storage or has already been in a waiting position (10) in the machine direction (x) outside the settlement, but at least in front of a sensor (5).
  • the second sensor (5) is aligned here in the transverse direction (y), so that a kind of hurdle arises for the following roller (8) to be moved to the winding position (2a). Detects the sensor (5) the follower roller on your way to a in FIG. 3 illustrated pre-position (11) above the winding position (2a) are immediately blocked forward and downward movements.
  • the transport unit of the follower roller (8), here the crane (4) is then only able to perform backward and / or upward movements until the sensor (5) the path in the direction of winding station (2) again releases.
  • the position of the second sensor (5) is adjusted so that there is a safety distance (s) in the z-direction between the rollers (7, 8) involved in the change process.
  • this safety distance (s) can be adapted to the fact that the diameter of the interchangeable roller (7) continues to decrease from the sensor (5) to the pre-position (11) during the transport time of the follower roller (8).
  • the sensor (5) it may thus be possible for the sensor (5) to be mounted in the vertical direction (z) below the sensor (6).
  • sensors which are suitable for detecting the position of the follower roller, but at least other endangered sections of the follower rollers.
  • sensors can also be used, which are particularly suitable for determining the position with respect to the z-axis.
  • particularly inexpensive solutions can provide a tactile or sensing device here.
  • Such a device may, in cooperation with a corresponding control or regulating device, provide for a lowering of the follower roller superimposed on the forward movement until the follower roller no longer touches the tactile or sensing device.
  • the appropriate positioning of the means may also include a positioning on the transport means of the following roller.
  • the follower roller (8) in a pre-position (11), which is here occupy above the winding position (2a), guaranteed.
  • the following roller (8) can calm down.
  • the rotational movement of the change roller (7) can be delayed and the change roller (7) can be removed from the winding position (2a).
  • the follower roller (8) located in the pre-position (11), including the safety distance (s) to be bridged, only has to overcome a small path to the winding position (2a).
  • the follower roller (8) is moved downwards substantially only substantially perpendicular to the winding position (2a) and arrested there. The short path takes very little time, so that the entire change process is significantly shortened.
  • Another advantage of the short insertion path, from the pre-position (11) to the winding position (2a) is that the follower roller (8) can be introduced very slowly and therefore gently into the winding position (2a). It may be particularly advantageous if, in the immediate vicinity of the winding position (2a), a further sensor can delay the introduction speed of the follower roller (8) after its detection.
  • FIG. 4 illustrated embodiment of a device according to the invention shows in the left part of the figure, the structurally existing device with two cameras (13,14) as image-forming devices.
  • the image of a the freedom of movement defining record is shown.
  • the computer unit (15) indicated in the lower part of the figure the detected position-actual data of the following roller (8) are constantly compared with the stored movement clearance.
  • the particular advantage of such a change process is that a three-dimensional image can be generated and compared via a computer unit (15) as a result of the superposition of a plurality of cameras (13, 14).
  • additional cameras or sensors may be provided.
