- the device for engaging the textile material strand with the wire to be coated is a belt unit which guides the textile material strand circumferentially one or more times around the wire to be treated, so that during the execution of a relative movement between the wire to be treated and the textile strand of material engages at least once each surface portion of the wire to be treated in both the longitudinal and circumferential directions.
- the metering device for introducing a liquid extractant for the active substance into the textile material strand is a combination of a reservoir for the liquid extractant, a feed line and a pump, preferably a gear pump, which delivers the extractant metered to the textile material strand.
- the device according to the invention has a control which determines the speed of the textile material strand and the speed of the To be treated wire controls as well as the dosage of the introduced into the textile material strand liquid extractant.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows an apparatus for treating a wire with a method according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows the course of the textile strand of material T and the wire to be treated in the illustrated embodiment of a welding wire D.
- Garnabzug 4 of the textile strand is withdrawn from one or more supply coils 4.1 and guided via the brake 4.2 to the drive block 2 for controlling the strand bias.
- the strand T is passed over a pulley 2.7 on the drive roller 2.2 and placed to avoid slippage several times to this and the other roll package 2.3.
- the drive roller 2.2 and the roller package 2.3 form a mechanical unit in the form of a dancer acting against a spring 2.5. Its deflection is detected by a sensor 2.6 as a strand bias. The actual phase bias voltage is compared with a user-settable desired value. If the actual value is too high or too low, the rotational speed of the drive motor 2.1 is increased or decreased. Subsequently, the strand T is deflected via the stranding pulley 3.2 at a shallow angle parallel to the wire D into the looping or processing zone 3. The wire D runs between two pairs of guide rollers 3.4 and 3.5 of the movement of the textile material strand T opposite. Between the stranding pulley 3.2 and a strand deflection roller 3.3, the two strands T, D are guided substantially parallel to one another, wherein the textile strand T wraps around the wire strand D.
- the textile strand T is guided around strand deflection rollers 3.1.1, which are arranged on a belt unit 3.1.
- the belt unit 3.1 with the strand deflection rollers 3.1.1 is rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis of the wire D (indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1 ), so that when setting up the machine by turning the Umschlingungsech 3.1 around the longitudinal axis of the wire D, the wrap can be achieved.
- the textile strand T between the stranding pulley 3.2 and the strand deflection roller 3.3 runs so that it wraps around the wire in this area.
- the spent strand is again deflected away from the wire at a shallow angle and guided to a drive unit 1 for controlling the strand speed.
- the strand T is again laid several times around a drive roller 1.2 and a roller package 1.3 to avoid slippage.
- the drive roller 1.2 and the roller package 1.3 form a mechanical unit in the form of acting against a spring 1.5 dancer. Its deflection is detected by a sensor 1.6 as a strand tension behind the belt 3. This strand voltage behind the belt 3 is compared in the main unit 5 with a user-adjustable target value and evaluated for a fault alarm.
- the strand passes through another deflection roller 1.7 the dancer unit for the winding 5.1, which turns on and off the motor 5.8 of the waste coil 5.9 to maintain a nearly constant strand voltage.
- the strand T is distributed uniformly over the width of the waste coil 5.9.
- the textile material strand T is a band mesh having a substantially rectangular cross section.
- the braid itself is braided from 13 monofilaments, of which 6 threads are preimpregnated with a drug of a mixture of a (methyl 12) hydroxystearate and a paraffin having a melting range of between 50 ° C and 60 ° C.
- This active ingredient when applied to the welding wire D to be treated, serves as a lubricant for the same.
- the mixture is provided with additives as corrosion protection for the welding wire D, an additive for arc stabilization of the welding wire D and a metal-organic additive as a wear protection agent for the guidance of the welding wire D.
- the active substance is extracted or extracted from the textile strand T with the aid of an extractant in the process zone 3.
- the second end 19 of a fluid connection 18, in this case a hose, is provided in the looping zone 3 between the stranding pulley 3.2 and the strand deflection pulley 3.3, more precisely in the embodiment shown here between the pulley 3.2 and the strand deflection unit 3.1.
- This tube 18 serves to supply the extractant from the dosage unit 20 to the textile strand T.
- the extractant is taken up by the textile strand T and extracts the pre-impregnated active substance out of this, so that it is transferred to the wire D to be treated.
- the extractant is liquid paraffin with a large hexane content. This triggers the mixture of the active ingredient described above well out of the textile strand T.
- the second end 19 of the fluid connection 18 introduces the extractant directly into the process zone 3.
- the extraction agent is supplied to the textile strand T in a region in which it is already engaged with the wire D and wraps around it.

Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Behandeln eines Drahtes mit mindestens einem Wirkstoff mit einer Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen eines zumindest teilweise mit einem ersten Wirkstoff imprägnierten textilen Materialstangs, einer Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen eines mit dem Wirkstoff zu behandelnden Drahtes, einer Prozesszone mit einer Einrichtung zum Ineingriffbringen des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem zu behandelnden Draht und einer Antriebseinrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Relativbewegung zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem zu behandelnden Draht in der Prozesszone.Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device for treating a wire with at least one active substance with a feed device for feeding a textile material strand impregnated at least partially with a first active substance, a feed device for feeding a wire to be treated with the active substance, a process zone with a device for Engaging the textile material strand with the wire to be treated and a drive device for generating a relative movement between the textile material strand and the wire to be treated in the process zone.
Drähte für ganz unterschiedliche Anwendungen werden häufig nach ihrer Herstellung, d.h. nach dem Formen des Drahtes aus Metall oder einem anderen Werkstoff, nachbearbeitet, indem sie beispielsweise an ihrer Oberfläche gereinigt und/oder beschichtet werden, um die Oberflächeneigenschaften des Drahtes gezielt zu verändern und zu verbessern.Wires for very different applications are often made after their manufacture, i. after forming the wire of metal or other material, reworked, for example, by being cleaned and / or coated on its surface in order to modify and improve the surface properties of the wire in a targeted manner.
Um die Drähte zu reinigen oder zu beschichten, sind Verfahren bekannt, bei denen der Draht mit einem textilen Materialstrang in Eingriff gebracht wird, wobei in der Regel der textile Materialstrang den Draht an zumindest einer Stelle umschlingt, und dann der Draht und der textile Materialstrang relativ zueinander bewegt werden. Die Relativbewegung zwischen Draht und textilem Materialstrang bewirkt, dass Wirkstoffe von dem textilen Materialstrang auf den Draht übertragen werden können und dass im Bereich der Umschlingung immer ein frischer Abschnitt des textilen Materialstrangs ohne Verunreinigungen und/oder mit frischem Wirkstoff bereitsteht.To clean or coat the wires, methods are known in which the wire is brought into engagement with a textile strand of material, usually the textile strand of material wraps around the wire at at least one location, and then the wire and the textile strand of material relative be moved to each other. The relative movement between the wire and the textile material strand has the effect that active substances can be transferred from the textile material strand onto the wire and that a fresh section of the textile material strand is always available in the region of the loop without contaminants and / or with fresh active substance.
Eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen eines Drahtes auf solche Weise ist beispielsweise aus der
Um eine Beschichtung auf einen Draht aufzutragen oder auch die Reinigungswirkung des textilen Materialstrangs zu erhöhen, werden textile Materialstränge verwendet, welche vollständig mit einem Wirkstoff imprägniert sind. Beispiele für solche Wirkstoffe sind beispielsweise Öle als Gleitmittel oder Detergenzien und Abrasiva zum Reinigen des Drahtes. Der Übergang der Wirkstoffe aus dem textilen Materialstrang auf die Drahtoberfläche erfolgt in der Prozesszone entweder durch die Reibung zwischen dem Draht und dem textilen Materialstrang oder durch ein zusätzliches Erwärmen der Prozesszone.In order to apply a coating to a wire or to increase the cleaning effect of the textile material strand, textile material strands are used, which are completely impregnated with an active ingredient. Examples of such agents are, for example, oils as lubricants or detergents and abrasives for cleaning the wire. The transition of the active ingredients from the textile material strand to the wire surface takes place in the process zone either by the friction between the wire and the textile material strand or by an additional heating of the process zone.
Gegenüber diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Behandeln eines Drahtes mit mindestens einem Wirkstoff bereitzustellen, welche eine verbesserte Einwirkung des Wirkstoffs auf den Draht in der Prozesszone ermöglichen.Compared to this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus for treating a wire with at least one active ingredient, which allow an improved action of the active ingredient on the wire in the process zone.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Behandeln eines Drahtes mit mindestens einem Wirkstoff gelöst, das die folgenden Schritte aufweist: Bereitstellen eines zumindest teilweise mit einem ersten Wirkstoff imprägnierten textilen Materialstrangs, Bereitstellen eines mit dem Wirkstoff zu behandelnden Drahtes, Ineingriffbringen des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem zu behandelnden Draht, sodass eine Prozesszone ausgebildet wird, in welcher der textile Materialstrang und der zu behandelnde Draht miteinander in Eingriff sind, Ausführen einer Relativbewegung zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem zu behandelnden Draht in der Prozesszone und Einbringen eines flüssigen Extraktionsmittels in den textilen Materialstrang in oder vor der Prozesszone, welches derart ausgestaltet ist, dass es den Wirkstoff aus dem textilen Materialstrang extrahiert, sodass dieser auf den zu behandelnden Draht übertragen wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method for treating a wire with at least one active substance, which comprises the following steps: providing a textile material strand impregnated at least partially with a first active substance, providing a wire to be treated with the active substance, engaging the textile material strand with the to be treated wire, so that a process zone is formed, in which the textile strand of material and the wire to be treated are engaged, performing a relative movement between the textile strand of material and the wire to be treated in the process zone and introducing a liquid extractant into the textile strand of material in or before the process zone, which is designed such that it extracts the active substance from the textile material strand, so that it is transferred to the wire to be treated.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ermöglicht es, den Wirkstoff, mit welchem der textile Materialstrang imprägniert ist, aus diesem herauszulösen und diesen auf die Oberfläche des Drahtes aufzutragen. Der Übergang des Wirkstoffes von dem textilen Materialstrang auf den zu behandelnden Draht wird damit gegenüber einem Übertrag, welcher alleine durch die Reibung zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem Draht verursacht ist, verbessert und stellt eine einfachere und effektivere Realisierung bereit als der zusätzliche Eintrag von Wärme in die Prozesszone. Allerdings wird in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung die Extraktion des Wirkstoffs aus dem textilen Materialstrang durch die Reibungswärme zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem zu behandelnden Draht unterstützt und der gleichmäßige Übergang der Wirkstoffe aus dem textilen Materialstrang auf die Drahtoberfläche gefördert. Zusätzlich kann in einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung gegebenenfalls die Prozesszone durch eine weitere Wärmequelle erwärmt werden.The method according to the invention makes it possible to dissolve out the active substance with which the textile material strand is impregnated and to apply this to the surface of the wire. The transfer of the active substance from the textile material strand to the wire to be treated is thus improved over a carry which is caused solely by the friction between the textile material strand and the wire, and provides a simpler and more effective realization than the additional input of heat in the process zone. However, in one embodiment of the invention, the extraction of the active substance from the textile material strand is supported by the frictional heat between the textile material strand and the wire to be treated, and the uniform transfer of the active substances from the textile material strand to the wire surface is promoted. In addition, in one embodiment of the invention, if appropriate, the process zone can be heated by a further heat source.
Unter einem Draht im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung wird insbesondere ein biegsam geformtes Materialstück, vorzugsweise aus Metall oder Kunststoff, verstanden, dessen Durchmesser klein gegenüber seiner Länge ist. Solche Drähte werden vorzugsweise auf Rollen, Spulen, Haspeln oder Spindeln gewickelt. Unter Drähten im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung versteht man auch solche, welche röhrenartig sind, sodass sie in ihrem Inneren einen sich über die gesamte Länge des Drahtes erstreckenden Hohlraum aufweisen.For the purposes of the present invention, a wire is understood in particular to mean a flexibly shaped piece of material, preferably of metal or plastic, whose diameter is small in relation to its length. Such wires are preferably wound on rolls, spools, reels or spindles. For the purposes of the present invention, wires are also understood to be tubular, so that they have a cavity extending over the entire length of the wire in their interior.
Mit einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sowie der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können Drähte für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen und aus einer Vielzahl von Materialien behandelt werden. Beispiele für solche Drähte sind Drähte und Litzen aus Stahl, Aluminium und Kupfer. Diese können insbesondere als Schweißdrähte verwendet werden oder zum Fertigen von isolierten elektrischen Leitungen oder ähnlichem. Ausführungsformen der Erfindung eignen sich insbesondere für höherwertige Drahtprodukte, welche ggf. höhere Kosten für die Herstellung des Drahts rechtfertigen.With one embodiment of the method according to the invention and of the device according to the invention, wires can be treated for a multiplicity of applications and of a multiplicity of materials. Examples of such wires are wires and strands of steel, aluminum and copper. These can be used in particular as welding wires or for the manufacture of insulated electrical lines or the like. Embodiments of the invention are particularly suitable for higher quality wire products, which may justify higher costs for the production of the wire.
Wenn in Verbindung mit der vorliegenden Erfindung davon die Rede ist, dass ein textiler Materialstrang verwendet werden soll, so hat der Begriff des textilen Materialstrangs die breitest mögliche Bedeutung, die sich für den Fachmann aus dem Begriff "textil" ergibt. Insbesondere umfasst er textilartige Materialien. Textile Materialstränge sind beispielsweise Fäden, Garne, Bänder, gewebte, gewirkte, gestrickte, gehäkelte und nach anderen Textilerzeugungsverfahren gewonnene Materialstränge. Darüber hinaus umfasst der Begriff des textilen Materialstrangs auch Vliesmaterialien, bei denen Einzelfasern, beispielsweise durch Wärme, Feuchtigkeit oder mechanische Einwirkung, miteinander verbunden werden. Auch Einzelfasern oder Einzelfäden können einen textilen Materialstrang im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung bilden.When it is mentioned in connection with the present invention that a textile material strand is to be used, the term of the textile material strand has the broadest possible meaning, which results for the skilled person from the term "textile". In particular, it comprises textile-like materials. Textile strands of material are, for example, threads, yarns, tapes, woven, knitted, knitted, crocheted strands of material obtained by other textile-producing processes. In addition, the term of the textile material strand also includes nonwoven materials in which individual fibers, for example by heat, moisture or mechanical action, are joined together. Individual fibers or monofilaments can also form a textile material strand within the meaning of the present invention.
Damit fallen unter den Begriff des textilen Materialstrangs auch mit Bindemitteln untereinander verbundene Naturfasern, Kunststofffasern, Metallfasern, Glasfasern, Keramikfasern, Stapelfasern (Kurzfasern), Kunststofffolien und ähnliche Materialien, die für den erfindungsgemäßen Verwendungszweck die erforderlichen Eigenschaften besitzen, wie beispielsweise Reißfestigkeit, Durchreibfestigkeit, Saugfähigkeit, Flusenbildung und andere Eigenschaften.Thus, the term "textile material strand" also includes natural fibers which are interconnected with binders, plastic fibers, metal fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, staple fibers (short fibers), plastic films and similar materials which have the required properties for the intended use according to the invention, such as, for example, tear strength, resistance to rubbing through, absorbency , Linting and other properties.
Aufgrund der Kenntnis der benötigten Eigenschaften und der Eigenschaften, die bestimmte Stoffe oder Stoffkombinationen haben, ist der Fachmann in der Lage, Werkstoffe für den erfindungsgemäß verwendeten textilen Materialstrang herzustellen und zu erwerben.On the basis of the knowledge of the required properties and of the properties which certain substances or substance combinations have, the person skilled in the art is able to produce and acquire materials for the textile material strand used in accordance with the invention.
Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, zu welchem Zweck das Verfahren im Einzelnen dienen soll, da in bestimmten Fällen der textile Materialstrang aufnahmefähig oder saugfähig sein muss, um einen flüssigen oder festen Wirkstoff, wie ein Gleitmittel, Poliermittel, Schleifmittel oder Reinigungsmittel, aufzunehmen und in der Prozesszone an den Draht abzugeben. In anderen Fällen kann das Material des textilen Materialstrangs selbst die erwünschten Eigenschaften besitzen und braucht dann keine Aufnahmefähigkeit zu haben, um beispielsweise ein abrasives Mittel aufzunehmen und zu binden.It is important to consider the purpose of the process in detail, since in certain cases the textile material strand must be receptive or absorbent to produce a liquid or solid active substance such as a lubricant, polish, abrasive or cleaning agent, to pick up and deliver to the wire in the process zone. In other cases, the material of the textile material strand itself may have the desired properties and then need not have a capacity to receive and bind, for example, an abrasive agent.
Als Material für die dem textilen Materialstrang zu Grunde liegenden Einzelfasern bietet sich insbesondere Viskose oder Baumwolle an.Viscose or cotton are particularly suitable as material for the individual fibers underlying the textile material strand.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der textile Materialstrang ein Geflecht, insbesondere ein Geflecht mit einem rechteckigen Querschnitt, d.h. ein Bandgeflecht.In one embodiment of the invention, the textile strand of material is a braid, in particular a braid having a rectangular cross section, i. a band braid.
Während in einer Ausführungsform die Imprägnierung des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem Wirkstoff unmittelbar vor der Prozesszone beispielsweise durch Eintauchen des textilen Materialstrangs in den Wirkstoff erfolgen kann, werden in einer alternativen Ausführungsform vorimprägnierte oder ausgerüstete textile Materialstränge verwendet, die in einer Ausführungsform bereits imprägniert auf einer Vorratsspule bereitgestellt werden können.While in one embodiment the impregnation of the textile material strand with the active substance can take place immediately before the process zone, for example by immersing the textile material strand in the active ingredient, in an alternative embodiment preimpregnated or finished textile material strands are used, which in one embodiment already provided impregnated on a supply reel can be.
Bei der Verwendung eines textilen Materialstrangs, welcher sich aus einer Mehrzahl von Einzelfasern oder einer Mehrzahl von Fäden zusammensetzt, ist eine Ausführungsform möglich, bei welcher der textile Materialstrang aus Bestandteilen, beispielsweise Fasern oder Garnen, besteht, die vor dem Weben oder Verflechten mit dem Wirkstoff imprägniert oder ausgerüstet wurden.When using a textile material strand which is composed of a plurality of individual fibers or a plurality of threads, an embodiment is possible in which the textile material strand consists of constituents, for example fibers or yarns, prior to weaving or intertwining with the active ingredient impregnated or equipped.
Auf diese Weise ergibt sich die Möglichkeit für eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher ein einziger textiler Materialstrang eine Mehrzahl von voneinander verschiedenen Wirkstoffen aufweist, wobei eine erste Faser oder ein erster Faden mit dem ersten Wirkstoff imprägniert ist und eine zweite Faser oder ein zweiter Faden mit dem zweiten Wirkstoff imprägniert ist und der Materialstrang zumindest die erste Faser und die zweite Faser bzw. den ersten Faden und den zweiten Faden umfasst. Durch ein vorab erfolgendes Imprägnieren der ersten und zweiten Fasern bzw. Fäden und nachfolgendes Verbinden dieser zu dem textilen Materialstrang können insbesondere textile Materialstränge gefertigt werden, welche zwei oder mehr voneinander verschiedene Wirkstoffe tragen, die nicht miteinander mischbar oder in Lösung zu bringen sind.In this way, there is the possibility for an embodiment in which a single textile material strand has a plurality of different active ingredients, wherein a first fiber or a first thread is impregnated with the first active ingredient and a second fiber or a second thread with the second Active substance is impregnated and the material strand comprises at least the first fiber and the second fiber or the first thread and the second thread. By a prior impregnation of the first and second fibers or threads and then connecting them to the textile strand of material, in particular textile strands of material can be made, which carry two or more different active ingredients that are not miscible or to bring in solution.
Wirkstoffe im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind beispielsweise Gleitmittel (z.B. organische Gleitmittel wie Paraffine, Wachse, Öle, Fette sowie stabile Lösungen oder Gemische daraus), Seifen, Korrosionsschutzmittel, Oxidationsschutzmittel, Antihaftmittel, Haftvermittler, Lichtbogenstabilisatoren, Reinigungsmittel oder Verschleißschutzmittel.Active substances for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, lubricants (for example organic lubricants such as paraffins, waxes, oils, fats and stable solutions or mixtures thereof), soaps, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, anti-adhesion agents, adhesion promoters, arc stabilizers, cleaning agents or wear protection agents.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung enthält der Wirkstoff ein Gemisch aus einem (Methyl-12-) Hydroxystearat und einem Paraffin.In one embodiment of the invention, the active ingredient contains a mixture of a (methyl 12-) hydroxystearate and a paraffin.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Wirkstoff mit einem Zuschlagstoff als Korrosionsschutz für den zu behandelnden Draht versehen.In a further embodiment, the active ingredient is provided with an additive as corrosion protection for the wire to be treated.
In einer anderen Ausführungsform weist der Wirkstoff zusätzlich oder alternativ einen Zuschlagstoff als Lichtbogenstabilisierung für einen Schweißdraht auf. Zur Lichtbogenstabilisierung erweisen sich insbesondere Seifen der ersten und zweiten Hauptgruppen des Periodensystems der Elemente sowie schwefelhaltige Verbindungen als Zuschlagstoffe als vorteilhaft.In another embodiment, the active ingredient additionally or alternatively to an additive as an arc stabilization for a welding wire. For arc stabilization, particularly soaps of the first and second main groups of the periodic table of the elements and sulfur-containing compounds prove to be advantageous as additives.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform enthält der Wirkstoff zusätzlich oder alternativ einen metall-organischen Zuschlagstoff als Verschleißschutzmittel. Als vorteilhaft haben sich dabei beispielsweise organische Molybdänverbindungen erwiesen.In a further embodiment, the active ingredient additionally or alternatively contains a metal-organic additive as a wear protection agent. For example, organic molybdenum compounds have proved to be advantageous.
Als Verschleißschutzmittel eignen sich insbesondere solche Wirkstoffe welche sich als Motoröladditive für den Verschleißschutz von Verbrennungsmotoren bewährt haben.Particularly suitable as wear protection agents are those active substances which have proven useful as motor oil additives for the wear protection of internal combustion engines.
Es versteht sich, dass gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung zumindest einer der Wirkstoffe, mit welchen der textile Materialstrang imprägniert ist, mit Hilfe des in die Prozesszone einzubringenden flüssigen Extraktionsmittels extrahierbar sein muss.It is understood that according to the present invention at least one of the active ingredients with which the textile material strand is impregnated must be extractable with the aid of the liquid extractant to be introduced into the process zone.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung werden daher als Extraktionsmittel ein Lösungsbenzin oder ein verzweigter aliphatischer Kohlenwasserstoff, wie z.B. Isododekan verwendet.Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, the extractant used is a mineral spirit or a branched aliphatic hydrocarbon, e.g. Isododecane used.
In einer Ausführungsform muss das verwendete Extraktionsmittel in der Lage sein, unter den in bzw. vor der Prozesszone herrschenden Bedingungen bei erhöhter Temperatur durch Reibung zwischen den Strängen, die Wirkstoffe aus dem textilen Strang herauszulösen und auf den Draht zu übertragen. Durch die erhöhte Temperatur können dann Lösungen entstehen, die unter normalen (kalten) Bedingungen nicht stabil wären.In one embodiment, the extractant used must be able to dissolve the active ingredients out of the textile strand and transfer them to the wire under conditions prevailing in the process zone at elevated temperature by friction between the strands. The increased temperature can then create solutions that would not be stable under normal (cold) conditions.
Wenn im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung davon die Rede ist, dass ein flüssiges Extraktionsmittel in oder vor der Prozesszone in den textilen Materialstrang eingebracht wird, so bedeutet dies dass das flüssige Extraktionsmittel und der textile Materialstrang der Prozesszone auf getrennten Wegen zugeführt werden und ein Benetzen oder Tränken des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem flüssigen Extraktionsmittel in Bewegungsrichtung des textilen Materialsstrangs erst unmittelbar vor oder in der Prozesszone erfolgt.If, for the purposes of the present invention, it is mentioned that a liquid extractant is introduced into or in front of the process zone in the textile material strand, this means that the liquid extractant and the textile material strand are fed to the process zone in separate ways and wetting or soaking of the textile material strand with the liquid extraction agent takes place in the direction of movement of the textile material strand only immediately before or in the process zone.
Insbesondere wird das flüssige Extraktionsmittel mit Hilfe eines Schlauchs der Prozesszone zugeführt.In particular, the liquid extractant is fed by means of a hose to the process zone.
Das Ineingriffbringen des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem zu behandelnden Draht im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt in einer Ausführungsform dadurch, dass in der Prozesszone, d.h. im Bereich einer Berührung zwischen dem zu behandelnden Draht und dem textilen Materialstrang, mindestens eine Schlinge des textilen Materialstrangs um den zu behandelnden Draht ausgebildet wird.The engagement of the textile material strand with the wire to be treated in the context of the present invention takes place in one embodiment in that in the process zone, i. in the region of contact between the wire to be treated and the textile material strand, at least one loop of the textile material strand is formed around the wire to be treated.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Bewegungsrichtung des textilen Materialstrangs in der Prozesszone der Bewegungsrichtung des Drahtes entgegengesetzt.In one embodiment of the invention, the direction of movement of the textile material strand in the process zone is opposite to the direction of movement of the wire.
Dabei ist die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem Draht in der Prozesszone in einer Ausführungsform konstant.In this case, the relative speed between the textile material strand and the wire in the process zone is constant in one embodiment.
Die relative Bewegung zwischen dem Draht und dem textilen Materialstrang in der Prozesszone wird insbesondere dadurch realisiert, dass sowohl der Draht als auch der textile Materialstrang bewegt werden. Dabei ist in einer Ausführungsform die Absolutgeschwindigkeit des textilen Materialstrangs in der Prozesszone geringer als die Absolutgeschwindigkeit des Drahtes in der Prozesszone.The relative movement between the wire and the textile material strand in the process zone is realized in particular by moving both the wire and the textile material strand. In one embodiment, the absolute speed of the textile material strand in the process zone is less than the absolute velocity of the wire in the process zone.
In einer Ausführungsform wird der Wirkstoff auf den Draht aufgetragen, d.h. der Draht wird mit dem Wirkstoff beschichtet. Ein Beispiel dafür ist, dass ein Gleitmittel auf den Draht aufgetragen wird.In one embodiment, the active agent is applied to the wire, i. the wire is coated with the drug. An example of this is that a lubricant is applied to the wire.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Wirkstoff so gewählt, dass er den Draht reinigt. Dabei ist hervorzuheben, dass auch der textile Materialstrang selbst unabhängig von dem gewählten Wirkstoff eine Reinigung des Drahtes bewirken kann.In another embodiment, the active ingredient is selected to clean the wire. It should be emphasized that even the textile material strand itself can cause a cleaning of the wire regardless of the chosen active ingredient.
Eine solche reinigende Wirkung des textilen Materialstrangs erfolgt insbesondere bei einer gegenläufigen Bewegung des textilen Materialstrangs und des Drahtes in der Prozesszone.Such a cleaning action of the textile material strand takes place in particular in the case of an opposite movement of the textile material strand and of the wire in the process zone.
Gleichfalls wird die oben genannte Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass eine Vorrichtung zum Behandeln eines Drahtes mit mindestens einem Wirkstoff gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren bereitgestellt wird, die eine Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen eines zumindest teilweise mit einem ersten Wirkstoff imprägnierten textilen Materialstrangs, eine Zuführeinrichtung zum Zuführen eines mit dem Wirkstoff zu behandelnden Drahtes, eine Prozesszone mit einer Einrichtung zum Ineingriffbringen des textilen Materialstangs mit dem zu behandelnden Draht, eine Antriebseinrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Relativbewegung zwischen dem textilen Materialstrang und dem zu behandelnden Draht in der Prozesszone und eine Dosiereinrichtung zum Einbringen eines flüssigen Extraktionsmittels für den Wirkstoff in den textilen Materialstrang in oder vor der Prozesszone aufweist.Likewise, the above-mentioned object is achieved by providing a device for treating a wire with at least one active substance according to the method of the invention, which comprises a feed device for feeding a textile material strand impregnated at least partially with a first active substance, a feed device for feeding one with the Active substance to be treated wire, a process zone with a device for engaging the textile material strand with the wire to be treated, a drive device for generating a relative movement between the textile material strand and the wire to be treated in the process zone and a metering device for introducing a liquid extractant for the active ingredient in the textile material strand in or before the process zone.
Die Antriebseinrichtung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung bewirkt eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem zu behandelnden Draht und dem Textilienmaterialstrang, wobei diese Relativbewegung durch eine Bewegung des zu behandelnden Drahtes oder des textilen Materialstrangs sowie durch eine gleichzeitige Bewegung des zu behandelnden Drahtes und des textilen Materialstrangs, jedoch mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit oder mit unterschiedlichen Bewegungsrichtungen bewirkt werden kann.The drive device of the device according to the invention causes a relative movement between the wire to be treated and the textile material strand, said relative movement by a movement of the wire to be treated or the textile strand of material and by a simultaneous movement of the wire to be treated and the textile strand of material, but with different speed or can be effected with different directions of movement.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Antriebseinrichtung im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung beispielsweise einen in der Drehrichtung umkehrbaren, insbesondere drehzahlveränderlichen Motor auf oder auch einen Schrittmotor.In one embodiment of the invention, the drive means in the context of the present invention, for example, a reversible in the direction of rotation, in particular variable-speed motor or a stepper motor.
Die Zuführeinrichtungen für den zu behandelnden Draht und für den textilen Materialstrang können in einer Ausführungsform Führungen, insbesondere Führungsrollen, umfassen. Jedoch sind auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, in denen eine Zuführeinrichtung, insbesondere für den zu behandelnden Draht, lediglich von entsprechenden Ausnehmungen in der Vorrichtung gebildet wird, wobei die Vorrichtung mit dem jeweiligen Strang unter Umständen gar nicht in Eingriff tritt.The feed devices for the wire to be treated and for the textile material strand may in one embodiment comprise guides, in particular guide rollers. However, embodiments are also conceivable in which a feed device, in particular for the wire to be treated, is merely formed by corresponding recesses in the device, wherein the device may not even engage with the respective strand under certain circumstances.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Einrichtung zum Ineingriffbringen des textilen Materialstrangs mit dem zu beschichtenden Draht eine Umschlingungseinheit, welche den textilen Materialstrang in Umfangsrichtung ein- oder mehrfach um den zu behandelnden Draht herumführt, sodass dieser während der Ausführung einer Relativbewegung zwischen dem zu behandelnden Draht und dem textilen Materialstrang mit jedem Oberflächenabschnitt des zu behandelnden Drahtes sowohl in Längs- als auch in Umfangsrichtung zumindest einmal in Eingriff kommt.In one embodiment of the invention, the device for engaging the textile material strand with the wire to be coated is a belt unit which guides the textile material strand circumferentially one or more times around the wire to be treated, so that during the execution of a relative movement between the wire to be treated and the textile strand of material engages at least once each surface portion of the wire to be treated in both the longitudinal and circumferential directions.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Dosiereinrichtung zum Einbringen eines flüssigen Extraktionsmittels für den Wirkstoff in den textilen Materialstrang eine Kombination aus einem Reservoir für das flüssige Extraktionsmittel, einer Zuführleitung sowie einer Pumpe, vorzugsweise einer Zahnradpumpe, welche das Extraktionsmittel dosiert zu dem textilen Materialstrang fördert.In one embodiment of the invention, the metering device for introducing a liquid extractant for the active substance into the textile material strand is a combination of a reservoir for the liquid extractant, a feed line and a pump, preferably a gear pump, which delivers the extractant metered to the textile material strand.
Dabei ist es insbesondere zweckmäßig, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung eine Steuerung aufweist, welche die Geschwindigkeit des textilen Materialstrangs und die Geschwindigkeit des zu behandelnden Drahtes ebenso regelt, wie die Dosierung des in den textilen Materialstrang einzubringenden flüssigen Extraktionsmittels.It is particularly expedient if the device according to the invention has a control which determines the speed of the textile material strand and the speed of the To be treated wire controls as well as the dosage of the introduced into the textile material strand liquid extractant.
Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der vorliegenden Erfindung werden anhand der folgenden Beschreibung einer Ausführungsform und der dazugehörigen Figuren deutlich.Further advantages, features and applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment and the associated figures.
Die Darstellung in
Die Antriebsrolle 2.2 und das Rollenpaket 2.3 bilden eine mechanische Einheit in Form eines gegen eine Feder 2.5 wirkenden Tänzers. Dessen Auslenkung wird von einem Sensor 2.6 als Strangvorspannung erfasst. Die Ist-Strangvorspannung wird mit einem von dem Bediener einstellbaren Soll-Wert verglichen. Ist der Ist-Wert zu hoch bzw. zu niedrig, wird die Drehzahl des Antriebsmotors 2.1 erhöht bzw. verringert. Anschließend wird der Strang T über die Strangeinlenkrolle 3.2 unter einem flachen Winkel parallel zum Draht D in die Umschlingungs- bzw. Prozesszone 3 eingelenkt. Der Draht D läuft zwischen zwei Paaren von Führungsrollen 3.4 bzw. 3.5 der Bewegung des textilen Materialstrangs T entgegen. Zwischen der Strangeinlenkrolle 3.2 und einer Strangauslenkrolle 3.3 werden die beiden Stränge T, D im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander geführt, wobei der textile Strang T den Drahtstrang D umschlingt.The drive roller 2.2 and the roller package 2.3 form a mechanical unit in the form of a dancer acting against a spring 2.5. Its deflection is detected by a sensor 2.6 as a strand bias. The actual phase bias voltage is compared with a user-settable desired value. If the actual value is too high or too low, the rotational speed of the drive motor 2.1 is increased or decreased. Subsequently, the strand T is deflected via the stranding pulley 3.2 at a shallow angle parallel to the wire D into the looping or
Um die Umschlingung des Drahtes D durch den textilen Strang T zu gewährleisten, wird der textile Strang T um Strangumlenkrollen 3.1.1 geführt, welche auf einer Umschlingungseinheit 3.1 angeordnet sind. Die Umschlingungseinheit 3.1 mit den Strangumlenkrollen 3.1.1 ist drehbar um die Längsachse des Drahts D gelagert (angedeutet durch den Pfeil in
Anschließend passiert der Strang über eine weitere Umlenkrolle 1.7 die Tänzereinheit für die Aufwicklung 5.1, die den Motor 5.8 der Abfallspule 5.9 zur Aufrechterhaltung einer nahezu konstanten Strangspannung ein- und ausschaltet. Mit einer motorischen Verlegungseinheit 5.5 bzw. 5.7 wird der Strang T gleichmäßig über die Breite der Abfallspule 5.9 verteilt.Subsequently, the strand passes through another deflection roller 1.7 the dancer unit for the winding 5.1, which turns on and off the motor 5.8 of the waste coil 5.9 to maintain a nearly constant strand voltage. With a motorized laying unit 5.5 or 5.7, the strand T is distributed uniformly over the width of the waste coil 5.9.
Bei dem textilen Materialstrang T handelt es sich in der dargestellten Ausführungsform um ein Bandgeflecht mit einem im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt. Das Geflecht selbst ist aus 13 Einzelfäden geflochten, von denen 6 Fäden mit einem Wirkstoff aus einem Gemisch aus einem (Methyl-12-) Hydroxystearat und einem Paraffin mit einem Schmelzbereich von zwischen 50 °C und 60 °C vorimprägniert sind. Dieser Wirkstoff dient, wenn er auf den zu behandelnden Schweißdraht D aufgetragen ist, als Gleitmittel für diesen. Zudem ist das Gemisch mit Zuschlagstoffen als Korrosionsschutz für den Schweißdraht D, einem Zuschlagstoff für eine Lichtbogenstabilisierung des Schweißdrahtes D und einem metall-organischen Zuschlagstoff als Verschleißschutzmittel für die Führung des Schweißdrahtes D versehen.In the illustrated embodiment, the textile material strand T is a band mesh having a substantially rectangular cross section. The braid itself is braided from 13 monofilaments, of which 6 threads are preimpregnated with a drug of a mixture of a (methyl 12) hydroxystearate and a paraffin having a melting range of between 50 ° C and 60 ° C. This active ingredient, when applied to the welding wire D to be treated, serves as a lubricant for the same. In addition, the mixture is provided with additives as corrosion protection for the welding wire D, an additive for arc stabilization of the welding wire D and a metal-organic additive as a wear protection agent for the guidance of the welding wire D.
Um den Wirkstoff entsprechend der vorliegenden Erfindung aus dem textilen Materialstrang T auf den Schweißdraht D zu übertragen, wird der Wirkstoff mit Hilfe eines Extraktionsmittels in der Prozesszone 3 aus dem textilen Strang T herausgelöst bzw. extrahiert.In order to transfer the active substance according to the present invention from the textile material strand T to the welding wire D, the active substance is extracted or extracted from the textile strand T with the aid of an extractant in the
