Definitions
- the present invention concerns an apparatus for overturning coils.
- coils are transported to the building sites, or in sites anyway prearranged for their manufacturing, in suitable transport vehicles, on which they are arranged with their winding/unwinding axis oriented in horizontal way.
- the coils are usually unwound for making semi-processed products required by production needs, for example bars or similar products.
- Apparatuses for unwinding coils, arranged upstream to further apparatuses for example for cutting and folding the unwound metal wires, are currently known as well.
- Unwinding apparatuses usually comprise a control pin vertically arranged, around which each coil is inserted for performing its unwinding. Handling of coils, in particular handling performed in different zones of the production line, as well as the overturning from the horizontal axis configuration, for transport, to the vertical configuration, for unwinding, is really dangerous, because of the weight of the same coil, as well as because of the space required by the overturning operation and inserting operation in the correspondent unwinding apparatus of the production line.
- Patent application no. WO-A-90/15675 discloses a method and arrangement for handling a coil of metal packing wire, whereby a heavy coil of metal wire is transported in a horizontal attitude with the help of a lifting arrangement to an arrangement which has a central upright capable of being pivoted between a horizontal and a vertical end position. The coil is placed on the horizontal upright, and a reeling-off crown is also pushed onto the upright, whereupon the upright is pivoted up into its vertical working position for the reeling off of the wire from the coil. Nevertheless, the mentioned solution is not able to effectively overcome the aforesaid drawbacks.
- the task of the present invention is that of solving the cited problems, devising an apparatus which allows to efficiently overturning coils for example of metallic wire.
- a further scope of the invention is that of providing an apparatus which can be placed on already existing production lines.

- the apparatus is suitable to perform the overturning of coils already inserted in respective bell-shaped reel supports, which are therefore already oriented and prearranged for the unwinding.
- the apparatus carries the insertion pin of a bell-shaped reel support in a removable way.

- the apparatus can be made self-sufficient from the energetic point of view.
- the overturning of the tilting structure can occur as a consequence of the same weight of the bell-shaped support reel and of the coil to be overturned, while the return stroke can be actuated by actuator members, elastic or pneumatic means suitably preset, previously loaded by the overturning active stroke.
- the carrying framework is provided for each working apparatus of the plant and, providing the use of coupling means rotatable between the centering means of the bell-shaped support and the tilting structure, it also provides the function of unwinding.
- the apparatus can be displaced for reaching different operative sites placed in the production plant, through suitable transport means.

Description
- The present invention concerns an apparatus for overturning coils.
- It has been known that apparatuses for handling coils, for example of metal wire wound in rolls, for being worked and making in such way and in particular metallic structures of reinforcement for building industry, are currently used.
- Usually some kinds of coils are transported to the building sites, or in sites anyway prearranged for their manufacturing, in suitable transport vehicles, on which they are arranged with their winding/unwinding axis oriented in horizontal way. On the contrary in the building sites the coils are usually unwound for making semi-processed products required by production needs, for example bars or similar products. Apparatuses for unwinding coils, arranged upstream to further apparatuses for example for cutting and folding the unwound metal wires, are currently known as well.
- Unwinding apparatuses usually comprise a control pin vertically arranged, around which each coil is inserted for performing its unwinding. Handling of coils, in particular handling performed in different zones of the production line, as well as the overturning from the horizontal axis configuration, for transport, to the vertical configuration, for unwinding, is really dangerous, because of the weight of the same coil, as well as because of the space required by the overturning operation and inserting operation in the correspondent unwinding apparatus of the production line.
- Known solutions, such as racks and hooks or vehicles equipped with mobile planes do not solve the cited problems in a satisfying way.
- Patent application no.
WO-A-90/15675 - The task of the present invention is that of solving the cited problems, devising an apparatus which allows to efficiently overturning coils for example of metallic wire.
- Within such task, is a further scope of the present invention that of providing an apparatus which allows to perform the overturning of coils in a manner so as to optimize the production cycle.
- A further scope of the invention is that of providing an apparatus which can be placed on already existing production lines.
- A further scope of the invention is that of providing an apparatus for overturning coils of simple conception, with a securely reliable functioning and versatile use, as well as relatively economic cost.
- Cited scopes are attained, according to the present invention, by the apparatus for overturning coils according to
claim 1. - According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a carrying framework and a support structure articulated to the carrying framework according to a tilting axis substantially horizontal, the support structure comprising a first support plane and a second support plane substantially reciprocally orthogonal. The tilting structure comprises as well centering means, for example a pin substantially orthogonal to the cited first support plane, for centering and inserting inside a hollow pin of a bell-shaped reel support.
- Thanks to the presence of such centering pin, the apparatus is suitable to perform the overturning of coils already inserted in respective bell-shaped reel supports, which are therefore already oriented and prearranged for the unwinding.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the apparatus carries the insertion pin of a bell-shaped reel support in a removable way. Such solution makes the embodiment particularly versatile because it combines the possibility of overturning on the tilting support also coils without reel support.
- Moreover it is important to notice that the apparatus can be made self-sufficient from the energetic point of view. As a matter of facts the overturning of the tilting structure can occur as a consequence of the same weight of the bell-shaped support reel and of the coil to be overturned, while the return stroke can be actuated by actuator members, elastic or pneumatic means suitably preset, previously loaded by the overturning active stroke.
- Finally, a solution is particularly advantageous according which the carrying framework is provided for each working apparatus of the plant and, providing the use of coupling means rotatable between the centering means of the bell-shaped support and the tilting structure, it also provides the function of unwinding.
- As an alternative, the apparatus can be displaced for reaching different operative sites placed in the production plant, through suitable transport means.
- An important feature of the apparatus according to the invention consists in the fact that the tilting structure is preferably articulated to the top of the carrying framework. It allows the overturning of the bell-shaped reel supports and/or of the coils inside the space of the same apparatus, minimizing in such way the required manoeuvring distance. In particular, providing to articulate the tilting structure at the second support surface suitable to abut the lateral surface of the coil to be overturned, the loading of the overturning apparatus, with the second support surface substantially horizontal, can be made by placing the transport vehicle of the coil at the side of the uprights of the framework, instead of frontally to the base of the framework. It allows to place the apparatus at a minimum distance from the surrounding walls and therefore to optimize the production spaces. Moreover the arrangement of the articulation at the top of the carrying framework allows to place the wires unwound by the coils at a height sufficient for a possible immediate use, without interfering with other parts of the apparatus.
- The details of the invention shall be more apparent from the detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the apparatus for unwinding coils, illustrated for indicative purposes in the attached drawings, wherein:

figures 3 and4 show respectively a front and lateral view of the same apparatus equipped with the cited device. - With particular reference to
figures 1 to 4 , the apparatus for overturning coils according to the invention is indicated in its entirety with 1. Theapparatus 1 comprises a carryingframework 2, atilting support structure 3, centering means 4 for a bell-shaped reel support 5.Actuator members 6 can be usefully provided as well, suitable to positively operate at least one stroke of the tilting motion of the tiltingsupport structure 3, as better described hereafter. - The bell-
shaped reel support 5 comprises aplatform 50 preferably shaped by a plurality of rods arranged radially and orthogonally to acentral pin 51 constrained to them through a plurality ofarms 52. A coil to be unwound is suitable to be inserted around thecentral pin 51 of the bell-shaped reel support 5, supported by the plane shaped by the rods of theplatform 50.

framework 2, which can be constrained to the floor in fixed way or in removable way, for being for example lifted, comprises abase 20, for example made by a couple of horizontal supports, and awall 21, for example made by one or more vertically arrangeduprights 21. On the top of the vertical uprights 21 ashaft 22 is rotatably constrained suitable to define the tilting axis of thetilting structure 3. - The
tilting structure 3 shapes a structure at right angles suitable to define through respective shelves afirst support surface 30 and asecond support surface 31 for a coil to be overturned or for a bell-shaped reel support 5. Preferably thefirst support surface 30 of thetilting structure 3 comprises a couple of mobile arms, while thesecond support surface 31 preferably comprises a curved wall, with its concave surface turned towards thefirst support surface 30. Thefirst support surface 30 is suitable to receive in support or in abutment the base of a coil to be overturned or theplatform 50 of a bell-shaped reel support 5. - The
second support surface 31 preferably comprises a curved wall suitable to receive in support or in abutment a correspondent curved wall of a coil to be overturned or thecontainment enclosure 53 of the bell-shaped reel support 5. - The
tilting structure 3 is constrained rotatable about theshaft 22 preferably on the back of thesecond support surface 31, so that thetilting structure 3 is mobile alternatively between a loading configuration in which thefirst support surface 30 is substantially vertical abutting the base of a coil or of the platform base of a bell-shaped reel support 5 and an overturned configuration in which thefirst support surface 30 is substantially horizontal and receives in support the above mentioned base or the above mentionedplatform 50. - The
tilting structure 3 comprises as well centering means 4 for a bell-shaped reel support 5. Preferably the centering means 4 shapes a centering pin interposed between themobile arms 31 and orthogonally oriented to them. The centering pin 4 is constrained to the tiltingstructure 3 preferably in removable manner. The centering pin 4 allows to insert inside thehollow pin 51 of the bell-shaped reel support 5, for the firm positioning of the reel supports 5 on theapparatus 1. In particular the centering means 4 can be constrained to thetilting structure 3 through the interposition of bearing coupling means, of the type of rolling bearings or fifth wheel, for enabling theapparatus 1 to provide the function of unwinding apparatus, as well as that of overturning of the coils. - Finally, the apparatus comprises
actuator members 6 comprising for example a pneumatic or hydraulic storage actuator member, suitable to store the actuator fluid during the overturning stroke, operated by the force of gravity, and to positively operate the back stroke towards the load configuration of the coil or of the bell-shaped reel support 5. Theactuator member 6 is articulated in suitable way between theframework 2 and thetilting structure 3. - The functioning of the apparatus for overturning coils is easy to understand from the preceding description.
- In an initial step, the
reel support 5 is centred on theapparatus 1 through the centering caused by the insertion of the same reel support around the pin 4 integral with thetilting structure 3, thefirst surface 30 being in substantially horizontal position. - Subsequently, the
tilting structure 3 is operated preferably by the force of gravity, overturning thereel support 5 in an overturned configuration in which thecentral pin 51 is horizontally arranged. - The coil to be unwound is transported, with its axis horizontal, to the loading position in which the
apparatus 1 is arranged, and loaded on the bell-shaped reel support 5 overturned in horizontal position, for inserting around thefixing arms 52 which surround thecentral pin 51, and with the curved lateral surface of the coil substantially supported by thefirst support surface 31, preferably thickened according to the size of the coil. - Finally, the
tilting structure 3 in overturned configuration, with the firstoperative surface 30 substantially vertical, is again turned, preferably by force of gravity, for returning to the initial position, in which thefirst support surface 30 receives in support the bell-shaped reel support 5 and the coil inserted in its inside. - In such final configuration the coil is oriented with vertical axis, therefore it is correctly prearranged for being drawn with suitable lifting means and inserted on the rotating base of an unwinding reel of an operative machine.
- As an alternative to a fixed loading station for the coils of the reel supports 5, it is possible to provide, as mentioned before, that the provided overturning apparatuses are a plurality, arranged at the place of each unwinding reel provided in the production line, in which overturning and discharging suitably the coils already prearranged for the next manufacturing. In such case the centering means 4 are constrained to the tilting structure through the interposition of rolling means, for example of the type of the fifth wheel.
- Finally, as an alternative, it is possible to provide for loading, overturning and discharging only the coils directly supported on the tilting
structure 3, removing the pin 4 before starting the correspondent operative cycle. - The described apparatus attains the scope of performing the overturning of the coils in an efficient way, in particular coils of metallic wire.
- The apparatus, together with the previous disclosed advantages, has the further advantage of reducing the amount of space required for loading and discharging the coils, therefore allowing an overturning of the coils which minimizes the spaces required by the apparatus. More precisely the articulation of the tilting structure to the top of the uprights of the carrying framework allows an overturning rotation of the coil which occurs substantially inside the space of the apparatus. Moreover, the articulation of the tilting structure at the second support surface, suitable to abut the lateral surface of the coil, allows to access the apparatus, for the loading, from the uprights side, decreasing the minimum distance from the walls required for the installation of the apparatus.
