In other words, the process of producing the films after winding is not yet completed. Not absolutely perfect winding can therefore happen that a roll later, during storage, negatively changed and unusable.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Wickler gemäss dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1, 8 und 12.The present invention relates to a winder according to the preamble of claims 1, 8 and 12.

Ein derartiger Wickler, der den nächstliegenden Stand der Technik bildet, wird in dem Dokument JP-H-09 315 632 A offenbart. Flexible, endlose Materialbahnen werden vorwiegend in Produktionslinien verarbeitet, bei welchem ein Extruder eine endlose Kunststoff - Folie erzeugt, die laufend und ohne Unterbrechung auf Wickelkerne zu wickeln ist.Such a winder, which forms the closest prior art, is disclosed in the document JP-H-09 315 632 A disclosed. Flexible, endless webs of material are predominantly processed in production lines, in which an extruder produces an endless plastic film which is to be wound continuously and without interruption onto winding cores.

Insbesondere Kunststoff-Folien werden in einer ausserordentlichen Vielfalt von Zusammensetzungen und entsprechend mit verschiedensten Eigenschaften hergestellt, die dann auch das Wickelverhalten beeinflussen und entsprechend bei der Wicklung berücksichtigt werden müssen. Ebenso sind die jeweilige Produktionsgeschwindigkeit sowie die in einem Produktionsdurchlauf herzustellende Anzahl an Wickeln Parameter, die für eine qualitativ genügende Produktion bei gleichzeitig vertretbaren Kosten berücksichtigt werden müssen.In particular, plastic films are produced in an extraordinary variety of compositions and correspondingly with a wide variety of properties, which then also influence the winding behavior and must be considered accordingly in the winding. Likewise, the respective production speed and the number of coils to be produced in a production run are parameters which must be taken into account for a qualitatively sufficient production with at the same time reasonable costs.

Typische Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten reichen von 2 bis 1000 m/min, während die fertigen Wickelballen einen Durchmesser von 50 bis 2000 mm bzw. eine Breite von 10 bis 6000 mm besitzen können. Die Dicken können von wenigen µm bis in den Millimeterbereich reichen. Als Beispiel genannt werden können Folien mit einer Dicke von 8 µm bis 25 µm. Bevorzugt 15 µm bis 25 µm, die mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 100 m/min und einer Breite von ca. 300 mm bis 770 mm auf einer Wickelwelle mit 4-fach Nutzen gewickelt werden (d.h. auf einer Wickelwelle werden vier Wickelhülsen aufgesteckt und so vier Wickel parallel neben einander gewickelt).Typical processing speeds range from 2 to 1000 m / min, while the finished wound bales may have a diameter of 50 to 2000 mm and a width of 10 to 6000 mm, respectively. The thicknesses can range from a few μm down to the millimeter range. As an example may be mentioned films having a thickness of 8 microns to 25 microns. Preferably 15 microns to 25 microns, which are wound at a speed of 100 m / min and a width of about 300 mm to 770 mm on a winding shaft with 4-fold benefit (ie on a winding shaft four cores are plugged and so four reels wrapped parallel next to each other).

Die Rezeptur von insbesondere Kunststofffolien aus Polyolefinen (wie PE Polyethylen oder PP Polypropylene) reicht von der monoextrudierten Folie, bestehend aus einer einzigen Schicht, bis zur coextrudierten Folie mit drei, fünf oder mehr Lagen, wobei in den Lagen beispielsweise Kleber verschiedenster Art vorgesehen werden können, so verschiedenste Mehrschichtfolien entstehen.The formulation of particular plastic films of polyolefins (such as PE polyethylene or PP polypropylene) ranges from the mono-extruded film, consisting of a single layer, to the coextruded film with three, five or more layers, wherein, for example, adhesives of various types can be provided in the layers , as many different multilayer films arise.

Heute sind im Bereich von Silage- und Stretch-Folien etwa vierzig bis fünfzig Rezepturen bekannt, die in der Anwendung die jeweils gewünschten unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften besitzen: in nördlichen Ländern etwa ist es in der Landwirtschaft erwünscht, dass die in Folie gewickelten Grasballen, die bis 500 kg wiegen können und auf dem Feld verbleiben sollen, auch schneebedeckt in Form bleiben, was eine Folie mit hoher Festigkeit voraussetzt. In anderen Ländern soll die Folie schwarz sein. Alternativ kann auch eine Folie mit einer bestimmten Farbe, z.B. aus optischen Gründen grün, bevorzugt werden.Today, in the field of silage and stretch films, about forty to fifty recipes are known, which have the respective desired different properties in the application: in northern countries, for example, it is desirable in agriculture that the foil-wrapped grass bales, which can weigh up to 500 kg and remain in the field, also remain snow-covered in shape, which requires a film with high strength. In other countries, the film should be black. Alternatively, a film with a specific color, for example, optical reasons green, are preferred.

Wird ein Grasballen gewickelt, sorgt der zwischen den Kunststofflagen der Folien enthaltene Kleber dafür, dass die einzelnen Wicklungen um den Grasballen auf einander haften, so dass der Wickel Stabilität besitzt. Wird der Grasballen gebildet, entsteht beim Abwickeln der Folie vom Wickel ein typisches, kratzendes Geräusch, das je nach Kleber lauter oder leise ist. Verschiedene Landwirtschaftsbetriebe verlangen leise zu lösende Folien, was einen entsprechenden Einfluss auf die gesamte Rezeptur der Folie hat.If a grass bale is wound, the adhesive contained between the plastic layers of the films ensures that the individual windings adhere to one another around the grass bale, so that the winding has stability. When the bale of grass is formed, when the film is unwound from the wrapping, a typical, scratching sound is produced which, depending on the adhesive, is louder or quieter. Various farms require quietly releasing films, which has a corresponding influence on the overall recipe of the film.

Ebenso im Bereich von beispielsweise Stretchfolien, die für die Verpackung von auf Palletten gestapelten Gütern, als Schutzfolien (beispielsweise in der Elektronik) oder als Lebensmittelfolien verwendet werden. So haftet die im Haushalt verwendete Lebensmittelfolie etwa am Tellerrand durch den am Ort der Umschlingung der Tellerkante aufgrund des dadurch erzeugten lokalen Drucks ausgeschieden Klebers. Auch hier sind die Rezepturen so zahlreich wie die Möglichkeiten der Verwendung der Folien und auf die jeweilige Verwendung abgestimmt.Likewise in the area of, for example, stretch films used for the packaging of goods stacked on pallets, as protective films (for example in electronics) or as food films. Thus, the food film used in the household adheres approximately at the edge of the plate by the adhesive at the place of wrap around the plate edge due to the local pressure generated by it. Again, the recipes are as numerous as the possibilities of using the slides and tailored to the particular use.

Je nach Bedarf schwankt die Produktion zwischen der Herstellung von nur einigen wenigen gleichen Wickelballen für spezielle Anwendungen bis zur Massenproduktion von gleichen Wickelballen.Depending on requirements, the production varies between the production of only a few identical wound bales for special applications up to the mass production of the same wound bales.

Durch die verschiedenen Rezepturen besitzen die Folien selbst verschiedene Eigenschaften, die wiederum bei der Wicklung zum fehlerfreien Folienwickel berücksichtigt werden müssen, was an den Wickler besondere Anforderungen betreffend der Parameter wie Bahnzug, Wickeldruck, -geschwindigkeit und Foliendicke und Elastizität der Folie stellt.Due to the various formulations, the films themselves have different properties, which in turn must be taken into account in the winding for faultless film winding, which makes special demands on the winder parameters such as web tension, winding pressure, speed and film thickness and elasticity of the film.

Fehlerfreie Wicklung unter Berücksichtigung der oben genannten Parameter ist auch darum wesentlich, weil bei verschiedenen Rezepturen die fertig gewickelte Folie (der Wickler ist in der Regel dem die Folie herstellenden Extruder unmittelbar nachgeschaltet) noch lebt, da sich die verschiedenen Kunststofflagen noch beruhigen und die zwischen den Lagen eingeschlossenen Luft oder eingebrachte Stoffe, häufig die Klebstoffe, sich verändern und auch durch die Schichten migrieren. Es ist mit anderen Worten so, dass der Herstellprozess der Folien nach der Wicklung noch nicht abgeschlossen ist. Durch nicht absolut einwandfreie Wicklung kann es deshalb geschehen, dass sich ein Wickel noch nachträglich, während der Lagerung, negativ verändert und unbrauchbar wird.Error-free winding taking into account the parameters mentioned above is also essential because with different formulations the finished wound film (the winder is usually immediately downstream of the extruder producing the film) still lives, since the different plastic layers still calm and the between the Layers of trapped air or introduced substances, often the adhesives, change and also through the layers migrate. In other words, the process of producing the films after winding is not yet completed. Not absolutely perfect winding can therefore happen that a roll later, during storage, negatively changed and unusable.

Figur 1a zeigt beispielhaft einen Wickler 1 gemäss dem Stand der Technik in einer Seitenansicht, die den Pfad der endlosen Materialbahn, hier einer Kunststofffolie 2, durch den Wickler 1 hindurch darstellt. Eine separate Wickeleinheit 3 für Ausschussfolie ist gefolgt von einer Schneideinheit 4, welche die endlose Folie 2 der Länge nach auftrennt, so dass zwei getrennte Folienbahnen bzw. Folien 5 und 5' entstehen, wobei jede der Folien 5,5' für die Wicklung in eine zugeordnete Revolvereinheit 6,6' geführt wird. Die Revolvereinheiten 6,6' sind grundsätzlich gleich aufgebaut und besitzen in der dargestellten Ausführungsform jeweils drei Wickelwellen, nämlich eine erste Wickelwelle 10,10', eine zweite Wickelwelle 11,11' und eine dritte Wickelwelle 12,12'. FIG. 1a shows by way of example a winder 1 according to the prior art in a side view, which represents the path of the endless material web, here a plastic film 2, through the winder 1 therethrough. A separate scraping unit 3 for scrap film is followed by a cutting unit 4, which separates the endless film 2 lengthwise, so that two separate film webs or films 5 and 5 'are formed, each of the films 5,5' for the winding in a associated turret unit 6,6 'is performed. The turret assemblies 6,6 'are basically the same structure and each have three winding shafts in the illustrated embodiment, namely a first winding shaft 10,10', a second winding shaft 11,11 'and a third winding shaft 12,12'.

Die Wickelwellen 10,10' bis 12,12' befinden sich in verschiedenen Arbeitsstationen, nämlich einer Ladestation 13,13', einer Wickelstation 14,14' und einer Entnahmestation 15,15'.The winding shafts 10, 10 'to 12, 12' are located in different work stations, namely a charging station 13, 13 ', a winding station 14, 14' and a removal station 15, 15 '.

Die Revolvereinheiten 6,6' sind durch einen zur Entlastung der Figur weggelassenen Antrieb entsprechend der eingezeichneten Pfeile im Gegenuhrzeigersinn um ihre Längsachsen 16,16' schrittweise verdrehbar ausgebildet, derart, dass jede der Wickelwellen 10,10' bis 12,12' bei einem weiteren Drehschritt von ihrer vorherigen in ihre nächste Arbeitsstation gebracht wird. Die Revolvereinheiten 6,6' bilden damit eine Einrichtung zur Lagerung des zu wickelnden Wickels 18,18', hier wie folgt:
Jede der Wickelwellen 10,10' bis 12,12' passiert im Zyklus die Ladestation 13,13', wo sie mit frischen Wickelhülsen beladen wird, gelangt durch einen weiteren Drehschritt der Revolvereinheiten 6,6' in die Wickelstation 14,14', wo die Wickelkerne 17 mit der Folie 2 zu einem Wickel 18 bewickelt werden und von dort in die Entnahmestation 15,15', wo die Wickel 18 aus der Revolvereinheit 6,6' entnommen werden.
The Revolvereinheiten 6,6 'are formed by a omitted to relieve the figure drive according to the arrows in the counterclockwise direction about their longitudinal axes 16,16' gradually rotatable, such that each of the winding shafts 10,10 'to 12,12' in another Rotation step is brought from their previous workstation to their next. The revolver units 6, 6 'thus form a means for supporting the reel 18, 18' to be wound, here as follows:
Each of the winding shafts 10,10 'to 12,12' passes in the cycle the charging station 13,13 ', where it is loaded with fresh cores passes through a further rotation step of the turret units 6,6' in the winding station 14,14 ', where the winding cores 17 are wound with the film 2 to a winding 18 and from there into the removal station 15,15 ', where the winding 18 are removed from the turret unit 6,6'.

Die Figur zeigt einen fertigen Wickel 18 in der Wickelstation 14 und einen gerade erst angewickelten Wickel 18' in der Wickelstation 18'.The figure shows a finished roll 18 in the winding station 14 and a just wound winding 18 'in the winding station 18'.

Eine Kontaktwalze 19,19' berührt den Wickel 18,18' und sorgt in der Wickelstation 14,14" für den der jeweiligen Rezeptur der Folie entsprechenden Anpressdruck. In der dargestellten, bewährten (aber nicht einzigen) Ausführung gemäss dem Stand der Technik ist die Kontaktwalze 19,19' an Pendelarmen 20,20' aufgehängt, was ermöglicht, die Kontaktwalze 19,19' dem Wickelfortschritt des stationär gewickelten Wickels 18,18' entsprechend zu verschieben.A contact roller 19, 19 'contacts the winding 18, 18' and ensures in the winding station 14, 14 "the contact pressure corresponding to the respective formulation of the film Contact roller 19,19 'suspended from pendulum arms 20,20', which allows the contact roller 19,19 'according to the winding progress of the stationarily wound coil 18,18' to move accordingly.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines gemäss Figur 1a ausgebildeten Wicklers beschrieben. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf solche Wickler (hier: mit Revolvereinheiten, wobei die Kontaktwalze an Pendelarmen gelagert ist) beschränkt. Die Erfindung ist anwendbar bei grossen oder kleinen Wicklern, die einen Einfach-Nutzen oder einen Mehrfach-Nutzen aufweisen,
Figur 1b zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus dem Wickler 1, nämlich die Wickelstation 14 sowie die Kontaktwalze 19 einschliesslich deren Lagerung, wiederum von der Seite her gesehen.
In the following the invention with reference to a FIG. 1a trained winder described. However, the invention is not limited to such winder (here: with Revolvereinheiten, wherein the contact roller is mounted on pendulum arms). The invention is applicable to large or small winders having a single-use or a multiple-use,
FIG. 1b shows a section of the winder 1, namely the winding station 14 and the contact roller 19 including their storage, again seen from the side.

Dargestellt ist, dass die Kontaktwalze 19 an zwei seitlich angreifenden Pendelarmen 20 aufgehängt und so um eine Verschwenkachse 21 verschwenkbar ist. Durch die Ansicht von der Seite her ist in der Figur nur der eine Pendelarm 20 sichtbar, da dieser den anderen Pendelarm (der am anderen Ende der Kontaktwalze 19 angreift) verdeckt. Die Pendelarme 20 ermöglichen der Kontaktwalze 19 eine Bewegung in Richtung der eingezeichneten Pfeile, so dass sie stets mit dem wachsenden Durchmesser des Wickels 18 mitwandern kann (in der vorliegenden Anordnung ist der Wickelkern, auf den die Folie 5 gewickelt wird, fest gelagert). Eine Anpresseinheit, hier eine Kolbenanordnung 23 sorgt für den der Rezeptur entsprechenden Anpressdruck der Kontaktwalze 19 an den Wickel 18.It is shown that the contact roller 19 is suspended from two laterally acting pendulum arms 20 and is thus pivotable about a pivot axis 21. By the view from the side, only one pendulum arm 20 is visible in the figure, as it covers the other pendulum arm (which acts on the other end of the contact roller 19). The pendulum arms 20 allow the contact roller 19 a movement in the direction of the arrows drawn so that they can always mitwandern with the growing diameter of the coil 18 (in the present arrangement, the winding core on which the film 5 is wound, fixedly mounted). A pressing unit, here a piston arrangement 23, ensures the contact pressure of the contact roller 19 corresponding to the formulation against the winding 18.

Die Folie 5 läuft im Betrieb des Wicklers 1 über eine Hilfswalze 25 und von dieser auf die Kontaktwalze 19, wo sie in der Kontaktlinie 26 an den Wickel 18 angepresst und auf diesen aufgewickelt wird. Damit wird erreicht, dass die Folie 5 zwischen der Hilfswalze 25 und der Kontaktwalze 19 nur über eine kurze Strecke 27 frei läuft, was vorteilhaft ist: die teilweise recht schnell laufende (s. oben zu den Vorschubgeschwindigkeiten) Folie 5 beruhigt sich dadurch bereits bevor sie am Ort der Kontaktlinie 28 auf die Kontaktwalze 19 aufläuft, was eine fehlerfreien Wicklung unterstützt.The film 5 runs during operation of the winder 1 via an auxiliary roll 25 and from there to the contact roller 19, where it is pressed in the contact line 26 to the winding 18 and wound on this. This ensures that the film 5 between the auxiliary roller 25 and the contact roller 19 is free only over a short distance 27, which is advantageous: the sometimes quite fast running (see above to the feed speeds) film 5 calms down even before they at the location of the contact line 28 runs on the contact roller 19, which supports a fault-free winding.

Wie bereits erwähnt zeigen die Figuren 1a und 1b eine Anordnung des Stands der Technik, die dem Fachmann bekannt ist.As already mentioned show the FIGS. 1a and 1b an arrangement of the prior art, which is known in the art.

Es ist nun die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Wickler für eine endlose Materialbahn weiter zu verbessern, um insbesondere auch schwierig wickelbare Rezepturen optimal wickeln zu können.It is now the object of the present invention to further improve a winder for an endless material web in order to be able to optimally wind especially difficult to wind recipes.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist der erfindungsgemässe Wickler die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Ansprüche 1, 8 und 12 auf.To achieve this object, the inventive winder on the characterizing features of claims 1, 8 and 12.

Dadurch, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen vorsehen, den Umschlingungswinkel der über die Kontaktwalze laufenden Materialbahn während der fortschreitenden Wicklung auf einem veränderbaren, vorbestimmten Sollwert zu halten, kann ein Verzug der gewickelten Materialbahn bzw. Folie am Ort der Kontaktlinie 26 zwischen der Kontaktwalze 19 und dem Wickel 18 unterdrückt oder verringert werden. Solch ein Verzug führt schon bei mittel empfindlichen Rezepturen zu einem optisch sichtbaren Muster in der aufgewickelten Folie, und im ungünstigen Fall zur Faltenbildung. Beides bedeutet Ausschussproduktion.Due to the fact that the devices according to the invention provide for keeping the wrap angle of the material web traveling over the contact roller at a variable, predetermined desired value during the progressive winding, a distortion of the wound material web or film at the location of the contact line 26 between the contact roller 19 and the winding 18 suppressed or reduced. Such a delay leads even with moderately sensitive formulations to an optically visible pattern in the wound film, and in the unfavorable case for wrinkling. Both means waste production.

Figur 2a zeigt eine dreidimensionale Ansicht auf die Innenseite des einen Pendelarms 20 in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei welcher die Kontaktwalze 19 an Pendelarmen 20 aufgehängt ist, wie dies anhand der Figur 1b beschrieben ist. Ersichtlich ist die Kolbenanordnung 23 zur Verschwenkung der Pendelarme 20 um die Verschwenkachse 21. Ebenfalls ersichtlich ist eine Hilfswalze 30, die jedoch nicht an den Pendelarmen 20 festgelegt, sondern ihrerseits an weiteren Pendelarmen 31 angeordnet ist. FIG. 2a shows a three-dimensional view of the inside of a pendulum arm 20 in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the contact roller 19 is suspended from pendulum arms 20, as shown in FIGS FIG. 1b is described. Also visible is an auxiliary roller 30, which is not fixed to the pendulum arms 20, but in turn is arranged on further pendulum arms 31.

Die weiteren Pendelarme 31 für die Hilfswalze 30 werden bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform über ein Zahnradgetriebe 33 verschwenkt, welches seinerseits einen zur Entlastung der Figur nicht dargestellten Antrieb besitzt. Damit kann die Verschwenkung der Pendelarme 20 und der weiteren Pendelarme 31 unabhängig voneinander erfolgen, und damit auch die Bewegung der Hilfswalze 30 unabhängig von der Bewegung der Kontaktwalze 19.The other pendulum arms 31 for the auxiliary roller 30 are pivoted in the embodiment shown via a gear transmission 33, which in turn has a not shown for relieving the figure drive. Thus, the pivoting of the pendulum arms 20 and the other pendulum arms 31 can be independent of each other, and thus the movement of the auxiliary roller 30 regardless of the movement of the contact roller 19th

Die Pendelarme 20,31 verschwenken um die ihnen gemeinsame Verschwenkachse 21. Bevorzugt sind die beiden Pendelarme 20 über ein Rohr 35 und die beiden weiteren Pendelarme 31 über ein Rohr 36 mit einander verbunden, was deren synchrone Bewegung sicherstellt. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind die Rohre 35,36 koaxial zueinander und auch zur Verschwenkachse 21 angeordnet. Zur Entlastung der Figur ebenfalls weggelassen ist eine Maschinensteuerung, welche die Antriebe für die Pendelarme für die Kontaktwalze 19 und die weiteren Pendelarme 31 für die Hilfswalze 30 betriebsfähig ansteuert.The pendulum arms 20,31 pivot about their common pivot axis 21. Preferably, the two pendulum arms 20 via a pipe 35 and the other two pendulum arms 31 via a pipe 36 connected to each other, which ensures their synchronous movement. In the embodiment shown, the tubes 35,36 are arranged coaxially with each other and also to the pivot axis 21. To relieve the figure also omitted is a machine control, which controls the drives for the pendulum arms for the contact roller 19 and the other pendulum arms 31 for the auxiliary roll 30 operable.

Figur 2b zeigt eine gegenüber der Figur 2a modifizierte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Dargestellt ist eine dreidimensionale Ansicht auf die Aussenseite des einen, in der Figur 2a dargestellten Pendelarms 20, hier mit einem Getriebe 37, das den Pendelarm 20 und den weiteren Pendelarm 31 mit einander verbindet. Beide Pendelarme 20, 31 besitzen die gemeinsame Verschwenkachse 21, wobei in der Figur das Rohr 36 dargestellt ist, welches den sichtbaren weiteren Pendelarm 31 mit dem zweiten, zur Entlastung der Figur weggelassenen und damit nicht sichtbaren weiteren Pendelarm verbindet. Das Rohr 35 gemäss Figur 2a, welches den Pendelarm 20 mit dem ihm gegenüberliegenden (in der Figur nicht ersichtlichen) Pendelarm verbindet, würde das Rohr 36 verdecken und ist deshalb ebenfalls zur Entlastung der Figur weggelassen. FIG. 2b shows one opposite the FIG. 2a modified embodiment of the present invention. Shown is a three-dimensional view on the outside of the one, in the FIG. 2a shown pendulum arm 20, here with a gear 37 which connects the pendulum arm 20 and the other pendulum arm 31 with each other. Both pendulum arms 20, 31 have the common pivot axis 21, wherein in the figure, the tube 36 is shown, which connects the visible further pendulum 31 with the second, omitted for relief of the figure and thus not visible further pendulum. The tube 35 according to FIG. 2a , which is the pendulum arm 20 connects with the opposite him (not visible in the figure) pendulum, the tube 36 would cover and is therefore also omitted to relieve the figure.

Die Kontaktwalze 19 ist zwischen dem Pendelarm 20 und dem nicht sichtbaren Pendelarm, die Hilfswalze 30 ist zwischen dem weiteren Pendelarm 31 und dem nicht sichtbaren weiteren Pendelarm gelagert.The contact roller 19 is mounted between the pendulum arm 20 and the invisible pendulum, the auxiliary roller 30 is mounted between the further pendulum arm 31 and the non-visible further pendulum.

Am Pendelarm 31 ist ein Zahnrad 38 festgelegt, das sich im Betrieb mit dem Pendelarm 31 um die Verschwenkachse 21 dreht (der Pendelarm 31 ist hier ebenfalls von einer Zylinderanordnung angetrieben, s. die Zylinderanordnung 23 von Figur 2a). Dadurch dreht auch das mit dem Zahnrad 38 im Eingriff stehende Zahnrad 38I, welches über eine Welle 38II das Zahnrad 38III antreibt, das seinerseits mit dem Zahnrad 38IV im Eingriff steht. Die Welle 38II ist in geeigneter Form am Rahmen des Wicklers gelagert, s. die schematisch in der Figur eingetragene Lagerung 39, folgt der Verschwenkung des Pendelarms 31 also nicht.On the pendulum arm 31, a gear 38 is fixed, which rotates in operation with the pendulum arm 31 about the pivot axis 21 (the pendulum arm 31 is also driven by a cylinder arrangement here, s., The cylinder assembly 23 of FIG. 2a ). As a result, the gear 38 engaged with the gear 38 rotates 38 I , which drives the gear 38 III III via a shaft 38 II , which in turn is in engagement with the gear 38 IV . The shaft 38 II is mounted in a suitable form on the frame of the winder, s. the schematically registered in the figure storage 39 follows the pivoting of the pendulum arm 31 so not.

Schliesslich ist das Zahnrad 38IV mit dem Rohr 36 verbunden, so dass sich der weitere Pendelarm 31 der Drehung des Zahrads 38IV entsprechend verschwenkt.Finally, the gear 38 IV is connected to the tube 36, so that the further pendulum arm 31 of the rotation of the gear 38 IV pivots accordingly.

Es ergibt sich, dass der Pendelarm 20 und der weitere Pendelarm 31 mit einander verbunden sind, wobei das Getriebe 37 bei einer Verschwenkung des Pendelarms 20 (beispielsweise durch die Zylinderanordnung 23 von Figur 2a) eine Verschwenkung des weiteren Pendelarms 31 erzeugt. Damit wiederum kann, je nach dem Übersetzungsverhältnis des Getriebes 37, im Betrieb die Hilfswalze laufend so positioniert werden, dass der Umschlingungswinkel α einer über die Kontaktwalze 19 laufenden Folie konstant ist oder vorbestimmt ändert, s. dazu Figur 3.It can be seen that the pendulum arm 20 and the further pendulum arm 31 are connected to each other, wherein the transmission 37 at a pivoting of the pendulum arm 20 (for example, by the cylinder assembly 23 of FIG. 2a ) generates a pivoting of the further pendulum arm 31. This in turn, depending on the transmission ratio of the transmission 37, during operation, the auxiliary roll can be continuously positioned so that the wrap angle α is constant or predetermined by a running on the contact roller 19 film, s. to FIG. 3 ,

Wird das Übersetzungsverhältnis z.B. im Bereich 1 : 1,5, rechnerisch genau 1 : 1,51, gewählt, bleibt der Umschlingungswinkel α für eine Länge des Pendelarms 20 von 600 mm , einer Länge des weiteren Pendelarms 31 von 400 mm , einem Durchmesser der Kontaktwalze 19 von 230 mm und einem Durchmesser der Hilfswalze von 150 mm, konstant.If the transmission ratio is e.g. in the range 1: 1.5, mathematically exactly 1: 1.51, chosen, the wrap angle α for a length of the pendulum arm 20 of 600 mm, a length of the further pendulum arm 31 of 400 mm, a diameter of the contact roller 19 of 230 mm and a diameter of the auxiliary roll of 150 mm, constant.

Figur 3 zeigt schematisch einen Vergleich zwischen der in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung und einer Anordnung gemäss dem Stand der Technik nach Figur 1b. FIG. 3 schematically shows a comparison between the in FIG. 3 illustrated embodiment of the present invention and an arrangement according to the prior art according to FIG. 1b ,

In der Figur ersichtlich ist ein frisch angewickelter Wickel 18, der noch einen kleinen Durchmesser besitzt. Entsprechend sind die Pendelarme 20 nach rechts ausgelenkt, wobei die Kontaktwalze 19 den Wickel 18 entlang der Kontaktlinie 26 berührt. Ebenfalls nach rechts ausgelenkt sind die erfindungsgemässen weiteren Pendelarme 31, so dass sich die Hilfswalze 30 mit nach rechts verschoben hat. Die Folie 5 läuft auf die Hilfswalze 30 auf und von dieser an der Linie 40 wieder ab, läuft weiter an der Linie 41 auf die Kontaktwalze auf, umschlingt die Kontaktwalze 19 bis zur Kontaktlinie 26, läuft dort von der Kontaktwalze 19 wieder ab und gleichzeitig auf den Wickel 18 auf.The figure shows a freshly wound winding 18, which still has a small diameter. Accordingly, the pendulum arms 20 are deflected to the right, wherein the contact roller 19 contacts the winding 18 along the contact line 26. Also deflected to the right are the inventive further pendulum arms 31, so that the auxiliary roller 30 has moved to the right. The film 5 runs on the auxiliary roller 30 and from this on the line 40 again, continue running on the line 41 on the contact roller, the contact roller 19 wraps around to the contact line 26, runs there again from the contact roller 19 and at the same time the winding 18 on.

Die Linien 41, 26 bestimmen den Umschlingungswinkel α der Folie 5 auf der Kontaktwalze 19 gemäss der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung.The lines 41, 26 determine the wrap angle α of the film 5 on the contact roller 19 according to the inventive arrangement.

In der Figur gestrichelt dargestellt ist eine fiktive Hilfswalze 30* gemäss dem Stand der Technik, d.h. angeordnet an einem fixen Ort in den Pendelarmen 20. Der Pfad 5* der dann konventionell über die Hilfswalze 30* laufenden Folie 5* ist ein anderer: eine im Pfad 5* laufende Folie läuft an der Linie 41* auf die Kontaktwalze 19 auf und natürlich an der Linie 26 von der Kontaktwalze wieder ab.Shown in phantom in the figure is a notional auxiliary roll 30 * according to the prior art, i. The path 5 * of the film 5 * then running conventionally via the auxiliary roll 30 * is different: a film running in the path 5 * runs on the line 41 * onto the contact roll 19 and naturally on the line 26 from the contact roller again.

Die Linien 41*, 26 bestimmen den Umschlingungswinkel β einer im Pfad 5* laufenden Folie auf der Kontaktwalze 19, wie dies in einer Anordnung gemäss dem Stand der Technik der Fall ist.The lines 41 *, 26 determine the angle of wrap β of a film running in the path 5 * on the contact roller 19, as is the case in an arrangement according to the prior art.

Es ergibt sich, dass der Umschlingungswinkel α gemäss der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung kleiner ist als der Umschlingungswinkel β gemäss der im Stand der Technik bekannten Anordnung.It follows that the wrap angle α according to the arrangement according to the invention is smaller than the wrap angle β according to the arrangement known in the prior art.

Nach den Erkenntnissen der Anmelderin wird während der Wicklung der Folie 5 durch deren Vorschub mitgerissene Luft in den Spalt vor der Linie 41 (bzw. der Linie 41*) eingebracht und gelangt dann in den Umschlingungsbereich. Im Umschlingungsbereich, vor allem am Ort der Kontaktlinie 26 wird diese Luft komprimiert und dadurch rückwärts (d.h. gegen die Vorschubrichtung der Folie 5) wieder ausgepresst. Damit baut sich im Bereich des Umschlingungswinkels ein Luftkissen auf, das einem Gleichgewichtszustand entspricht zwischen der ständig durch die durchlaufende Folie 5 nachgeförderten und dann vor der Kontaktlinie 26 zurückgepressten Luft. Ami Ort der Kontaktlinie 26 herrscht durch den Druck der Kontaktwalze 19 erhöhter Druck.According to the Applicant's knowledge, during the winding of the film 5, entrained air is introduced into the nip in front of the line 41 (or the line 41 *) due to the feed thereof, and then passes into the looping area. In the wrap area, especially at the location of the contact line 26, this air is compressed and thereby pressed backwards (ie against the feed direction of the film 5). This builds up in the region of the wrap angle, an air cushion, which corresponds to a state of equilibrium between the nachgeförderten constantly through the continuous film 5 and then pressed back in front of the contact line 26 air. Ami place the contact line 26 prevails by the pressure of the contact roller 19 increased pressure.

Die damit gegen die Kontaktlinie 26 hin zunehmend komprimierte Luft übt auf die Folie 5 erhebliche zusätzliche Kräfte aus.The air increasingly compressed against the contact line 26 exerts considerable additional forces on the film 5.

Diese Kräfte können die Folie lokal verziehen, zugleich kann sich die Folie durch entstehende lokale Blasen aus komprimierter Luft verwerfen, bis hin zur Bildung von kleinen Lufttaschen. Solche Verwerfungen werden dann entlang der Kontaktlinie 26 flach gepresst und bilden ein Muster oder Falten.These forces can distort the film locally, at the same time the film can discard by resulting local bubbles of compressed air, to the formation of small air pockets. Such distortions are then pressed flat along the contact line 26 and form a pattern or wrinkles.

Mit anderen Worten ist es so, dass die Folie 5 nicht glatt auf dem Wickel aufgewickelt werden kann, sondern zerknittert auf den Wickel 18 gelangt.In other words, it is such that the film 5 can not be wound smoothly on the winding, but wrinkled on the winding 18 passes.

Ein verkleinerter Umschlingungswinkel α ermöglicht nun, dass die rückwärts ausgepresste Luft leichter entweicht, so dass sich die Menge an Luft, die bis in den Kontaktbereich am Ort der Kontaktlinie 26 zwischen der Kontaktwalze 19 und dem Wickel 18 gelangt, verringert, womit die Gefahr des Knitterns abnimmt.A reduced wrap angle α now allows the back-pressed air to escape more easily, so that the amount of air that reaches into the contact area at the location of the contact line 26 between the contact roller 19 and the winding 18 is reduced, whereby the risk of wrinkling decreases.

Durch die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung lässt sich der Umschlingungswinkel α gegenüber dem konventionell auftretenden Umschlingungswinkel β verkleinern, was die verbesserte Wicklung erlaubt. An dieser Stelle sei erwähnt, dass erfindungsgemäss - d.h. unabhängig von der jeweiligen Ausführungsform der Erfindung, ein Umschlingungswinkel α von 10° oder weniger besonders vorteilhaft ist und auch erreicht werden kann.As a result of the arrangement according to the invention, the wrap angle α can be reduced in comparison to the conventionally occurring wrap angle β, which allows the improved winding. At this point it should be mentioned that according to the invention - i. regardless of the particular embodiment of the invention, a wrap angle α of 10 ° or less is particularly advantageous and can also be achieved.

Zudem lässt sich durch die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung der Umschlingungswinkel α auch anpassen, wie dies nachstehend beschrieben ist.In addition, can be adjusted by the inventive arrangement of the wrap angle α, as described below.

Der oben beschriebene Eintrag von Luft in den Bereich der Kontaktlinie 26 hängt u.a. von der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit und der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit der Folie 5 ab, d.h. auch von deren Rezeptur. Dann hängt von der Rezeptur weiter ab, welches die Auswirkungen der eingebrachten Luft sind, d.h. wie weit ein unerwünschter Verzug der Folie und das darauf beruhende Knittern auftritt.The above-described entry of air into the region of the contact line 26 depends i.a. from the feed rate and surface finish of the film 5, i. also from their recipe. Then depending on the recipe, which are the effects of the introduced air, i. how far an undesirable distortion of the film and the wrinkling based thereon occurs.

Entsprechend ist es vorteilhaft, für ganz empfindliche Folien wenigstens über einen Bereich der Wicklung einen Sollwert für den Umschlingungswinkel im Bereich von 0° vorzusehen (d.h. auch: diesen konstant zu halten), obschon dann eine weitere Beruhigung der Folie durch einen auf der Kontaktwalze aufliegenden Abschnitt der durchlaufenden Folie 5 entfällt. Bei einem Umschlingungswinkel von 0° ergibt sich ein minimaler Widerstand für die rückwärts auszupressende Luft.Accordingly, it is advantageous to provide for very sensitive films at least over a range of winding a setpoint for the wrap angle in the range of 0 ° (ie also: to keep this constant), although then a further calming of the film by one on the Contact roller resting section of the continuous film 5 is omitted. At a wrap angle of 0 ° results in a minimum resistance for the backwards to be pressed air.

Andererseits kann es vorteilhaft sein je nach der vorliegenden Rezeptur (beispielsweise bei klebrigen Folien) gewisse Mengen an Luft im Spalt zwischen der Kontaktwalze 19 und dem Wickel 18 zuzulassen und einen Umschlingungswinkel α mit einem vorbestimmten Sollwert zuzulassen. Wiederum kann dieser Sollwert konstant sein, wenigstens über einen Teilbereich der Wicklung, und/oder sich während der fortschreitenden Wicklung vorbestimmt verändern. Der entstehende Wickel 18 verhärtet dann weniger und lässt sich besser abwickeln.On the other hand, it may be advantageous depending on the present recipe (for example, in the case of sticky films) to allow certain amounts of air in the gap between the contact roller 19 and the winding 18 and allow a wrap angle α with a predetermined setpoint. Again, this set point may be constant, at least over a portion of the winding, and / or may change in a predetermined manner during the advancing winding. The resulting winding 18 then hardens less and can be better handled.

Es ergibt sich, dass der optimale Umschlingungswinkel α von verschiedenen Faktoren wie beispielsweise der Rezeptur der Folie 5, der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Folie 5, dem Anpressdruck der Kontaktwalze 19 an den Wickel 18 etc. abhängt, zu denen auch der Wickelfortschritt eines Wickels gehören kann. Der Fachmann kann beispielsweise durch einfache Versuche feststellen, wie der Umschlingungswinkel für eine gegebene Rezeptur in Verbindung mit weiteren Parametern wie die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit einzustellen ist. Eine generelle Regel lässt sich angesichts der Vielzahl an Rezepturen nicht geben.It follows that the optimum wrap angle α depends on various factors such as the formulation of the film 5, the feed rate of the film 5, the contact pressure of the contact roller 19 on the winding 18, etc., which may include the winding progress of a coil. The person skilled in the art can determine, for example by simple experiments, how to set the wrap angle for a given recipe in conjunction with other parameters such as the feed rate. A general rule can not be given in view of the variety of recipes.

Auf jeden Fall ist es erfindungsgemäss, den Sollwert des des Umschlingungswinkels (α) während der fortschreitenden Wicklung bis hin zum fertigen Wickel auf 90° oder weniger zu halten, was erlaubt, alle heute bekannten Folien optimal zu wickeln.In any case, it is according to the invention to keep the target value of the wrap angle (α) during the progressive winding up to the finished roll to 90 ° or less, which allows to wrap all known today films optimally.

Je nach der Art der Folie wird der Sollwert des Umschlingungswinkels (α) während der fortschreitenden Wicklung bis hin zum fertigen Wickel auf 45°, oder weniger, bevorzugt auf 20° oder weniger, besonders bevorzugt auf 10° oder weniger gehalten.Depending on the type of film, the desired value of the wrap angle (α) is kept at 45 ° or less, preferably at 20 ° or less, particularly preferably at 10 ° or less during the progressive winding up to the finished roll.

Nach der Erfahrung der Anmelderinnen ist ein Bereich des Sollwertes von 10° oder weniger für viele Folien optimal und deshalb von besonderer Bedeutung.According to the Applicants' experience, a range of the target value of 10 ° or less is optimal for many films and therefore of particular importance.

Natürlich können diese Sollwerte im jeweiligen Bereich jeden beliebigen Wert annehmen.Of course, these setpoints can assume any value in the respective area.

Zusammenfassend besteht das offenbarte Verfahren darin, einen Wickel aus einer Materialbahn von flexiblem Material herzustellen, bei dem das flexible Material über eine Kontaktwalze eines Wicklers geführt und in diesem zu einem Wickel aufgewickelt wird, wobei die Kontaktwalze während der Wicklung mit dem Wickel Kontakt hält, und wobei der Umschlingungswinkel der über die Kontaktwalze laufenden Materialbahn während der fortschreitenden Wicklung fortlaufend auf einem veränderbaren, für die jeweilige Wicklung vorbestimmten Sollwert gehalten wird.In summary, the disclosed method is to make a roll from a web of flexible material, in which the flexible material is passed over a contact roll of a winder and wound into a winding, wherein the contact roll during the winding keeps in contact with the winding, and wherein the wrap angle of the material traveling over the contact roller during the progressive winding is continuously maintained at a variable, predetermined for the respective winding setpoint.

Bevorzugt wird dabei der Sollwert wie oben erwähnt auf 10° oder weniger gehalten.Preferably, the target value is maintained at 10 ° or less as mentioned above.

Bei einer erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung sind Mittel vorgesehen (bei der in Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform die weiteren Pendelarme 31 mit ihrem Antrieb 33), um während der fortschreitenden Wicklung eines Wickels 18 einen veränderbaren, für die jeweilige Wicklung vorbestimmbaren Sollwert für den Umschlingungswinkel α der über die Kontaktwalze 30 laufenden Materialbahn einzuhalten.In a device according to the invention means are provided (in the in FIG. 2 In the embodiment shown, the further pendulum arms 31 with their drive 33) to adhere to a variable, predetermined for the respective winding setpoint value for the wrap angle α of the running over the contact roller 30 material web during the progressive winding of a roll 18.

Bevorzugt sind die Mittel für einen Sollwert des Umschlingungswinkels (α) über die ganze Wicklung eines Wickels bis hin zum fertigen Wickel von 90° oder weniger ausgebildet. Weiter bevorzugt sind Mittel für einen Sollwert des Umschlingungswinkels (α) über die ganze Wicklung eines Wickels bis hin zum fertigen Wickel von 45° oder weniger, bevorzugt auf 20° oder weniger, besonders bevorzugt auf 10° oder weniger ausgebildet.Preferably, the means for a desired value of the wrap angle (α) are formed over the entire winding of a roll up to the finished roll of 90 ° or less. More preferably, means for a desired value of the wrap angle (α) over the entire winding of a roll to the finished roll of 45 ° or less, preferably 20 ° or less, more preferably formed to 10 ° or less.

Dabei sind die Mittel erfindungsgemäss derart ausgebildet, dass der Sollwert in einem der genannten Bereiche frei wählbar ist, die Wahl also keiner Einschränkung durch die konkrete Ausbildung dieser Mittel unterliegt.According to the invention, the means are designed in such a way that the desired value can be freely selected in one of the named ranges, so that the choice is not subject to any restriction due to the concrete design of these means.

Dabei weisen die Mittel eine Hilfswalze auf, über die im Betrieb die Materialbahn geführt wird, wobei die Hilfswalze gegenüber der Kontaktwalze während der Wicklung relativ beweglich angeordnet ist, derart, dass im Betrieb die von der Hilfswalze ablaufende Materialbahn je nach der jeweiligen Stellung der Hilfswalze an einem anderen Ort auf die Kontaktwalze aufläuft.In this case, the means comprise an auxiliary roll, over which the material web is guided during operation, wherein the auxiliary roll is arranged relatively movable relative to the contact roller during the winding, such that in operation the running of the auxiliary roll material web depending on the respective position of the auxiliary roll another place on the contact roller runs.

Weiter bevorzugt erfolgt die Relativbewegung der Hilfswalze gegenüber der Kontaktwalze stufenlos, kann jedoch beispielsweise bei einer einfachen, kostengünstigen Ausführungsform auch schrittweise erfolgen, wenn eine gewisse Variation des Umschlingungswinkels während der Wicklung in Kauf genommen werden darf.More preferably, the relative movement of the auxiliary roller relative to the contact roller is infinitely variable, but can also, for example, in a simple, inexpensive embodiment and stepwise, if a certain variation of the wrap angle may be accepted during the winding in purchasing.

Wie oben in der Beschreibung zu Figur 2 erwähnt wird bevorzugt eine Maschinensteuerung vorgesehen, welche die Verschwenkantriebe für die Pendelarme 20 bzw. die weiteren Pendelarme 31 betriebsfähig ansteuert. In einem Speicher der Maschinensteuerung können dann Sollwerte für den Umschlingungswinkel α abgelegt werden, die wie oben beschrieben in Abhängigkeit vom Wickelfortschritt, von der Rezeptur, von anderen Parametern oder in einer Kombination davon bestimmt worden sind.As above in the description too FIG. 2 mentions a machine control is preferably provided, which controls the pivoting drives for the pendulum arms 20 and the other pendulum arms 31 operable. In a memory of the machine control can then set values for the wrap angle α are stored, which have been determined as described above depending on the winding progress, the recipe, other parameters or in a combination thereof.

Die Figuren 4a bis 4e zeigen in einer Sequenz die Wicklung eines Wickels 18 vom Beginn der Wicklung an (Fig. 4a) bis zum fertigen Wickel (Fig. 4e). Die weiteren Pendelarme 31, welche die Hilfswalze 30 tragen, sind in den Figuren der besseren Übersicht halber schematisiert als Strich dargestellt.The FIGS. 4a to 4e indicate in a sequence the winding of a coil 18 from the beginning of the winding ( Fig. 4a ) to the finished roll ( Fig. 4e ). The further pendulum arms 31, which carry the auxiliary roll 30, are shown schematically in the figures for the sake of clarity as a dash.

In den Figuren ist ersichtlich, wie zu Beginn der Wicklung die Pendelarme 20 nach rechts ausgelenkt sind, und mit zunehmendem Wickelfortschritt nach links verschwenkt werden, da der Durchmesser des Wickels 18 ansteigt. Ebenfalls ist ersichtlich, dass zu Beginn der Wicklung die schematisch durch einen Strich dargestellten weiteren Pendelarme 31 gegenüber den Pendelarmen 20 ebenfalls nach rechts verschwenkt und damit relativ zur Kontaktwalze 19 bewegt worden sind, mit der Folge, dass der Umschlingungswinkel α (Figur 3) der Folie 5 auf der Kontaktwalze 19 klein ist. Im Verlauf der Wicklung werden die weiteren Pendelarme 31 gegenüber den Pendelarmen 20 nach links verschwenkt, mit der Folge, dass hier der Umschlingungswinkel α im Wesentlichen konstant klein bleibt.In the figures it can be seen how at the beginning of the winding, the pendulum arms 20 are deflected to the right, and be pivoted with increasing winding progress to the left, since the diameter of the coil 18 increases. It can also be seen that, at the beginning of the winding, the further pendulum arms 31 shown schematically by a dash are also pivoted to the right relative to the pendulum arms 20 and thus moved relative to the contact roller 19, with the result that the wrap angle α (FIG. FIG. 3 ) of the film 5 on the contact roller 19 is small. In the course of the winding, the further pendulum arms 31 are pivoted to the pendulum arms 20 to the left, with the result that here the wrap angle α remains substantially constant small.

Aus dieser Sequenz kann auch abgeleitet werden, dass im Fall einer konventionell in den Pendelarmen 20 fest angeordneten Hilfswalze 30* (Figur 3) der Umschlingungswinkel β (Figur 3) zu Beginn der Wicklung (Figur 4a) unvermeidbar gross und am Ende der Wicklung (Figur 4e) unvermeidbar kleiner wäre. Diese Differenz kann leicht 10° oder mehr erreichen. Sie wird erfindungsgemäss nicht nur vermieden, sondern der Umschlingungswinkel α ist darüber hinaus während der ganzen Wicklung laufend für ein optimales Wickelresultat anpassbar.It can also be deduced from this sequence that, in the case of an auxiliary roll 30 * (30) fixed in conventional manner in the pendulum arms 20 (FIG. FIG. 3 ) the wrap angle β ( FIG. 3 ) at the beginning of the winding ( FIG. 4a ) unavoidably large and at the end of the winding ( Figure 4e ) would inevitably be smaller. This difference can easily reach 10 ° or more. It is according to the invention not only avoided, but the wrap angle α is also continuously adaptable throughout the winding for optimum winding result.

Figur 5a und 5b zeigen schematisch eine weitere Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Dargestellt ist eine Wickelstation 14 (Figur 1) eines Wicklers, mit einer Wickelwelle 11 und einer Kontaktwalze 19, die jedoch nicht an Pendelarmen, sondern hier an einer Mehrgelenk-Aufhängung 50 gelagert ist, die an Gelenken 51 gelagerte Hebel 52 besitzt, die ihrerseits über Gelenke 53 Tragarme 54 tragen, an welchen die Kontaktwalze 19 gelagert ist. Die dargestellte FIG. 5a and 5b show schematically a further embodiment of the present invention. Shown is a winding station 14 ( FIG. 1 ) of a winder, with a winding shaft 11 and a contact roller 19, which is not mounted on pendulum arms, but here on a multi-joint suspension 50, which has hinges 51 mounted lever 52, which in turn support arms 54 via links 53, to which the contact roller 19 is mounted. The illustrated

Anordnung erlaubt, die Kontaktwalze im Betrieb des Wicklers einer Horizontalen entlang zu verschieben, was wiederum den Verschiebeantrieb für die Hilfswalze 55, bzw. dessen Ansteuerung vereinfacht, da die Kontaktwalze 19 linear und nicht mehr auf einem Bogen läuft.Arrangement allowed to move the contact roller during operation of the winder of a horizontal along, which in turn simplifies the displacement drive for the auxiliary roll 55, and its control, since the contact roller 19 linear and no longer runs on a bow.

Die Hilfswalze 30 ist über einen Wagen 56 auf Schienen 57 horizontal verschiebbar angeordnet. Je nach der Position der Hilfswalze 19 gegenüber der Kontaktwalze 30 ergibt sich ein entsprechender Umschlingungswinkel α der Folie 5 auf der Kontaktwalze.The auxiliary roll 30 is arranged horizontally displaceable on rails 57 via a carriage 56. Depending on the position of the auxiliary roller 19 relative to the contact roller 30, a corresponding wrap angle α of the film 5 results on the contact roller.

Figur 6 zeigt schematisch eine weitere Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Wiederum ist die Kontaktwalze 19 an schematisch durch einen verdickten Strich angedeuteten Pendelarmen 60 aufgehängt, wobei die Pendelarme 60 um eine Verschwenkachse 61 verschwenkbar sind. Die Hilfswalze 30 ist einem Abschnitt 62 der Pendelarme 60 entlang verschiebbar gelagert. Die Pendelarme 60 selbst sind vorzugsweise doppelt gekröpft ausgebildet, derart, dass der Abschnitt 60 nicht in der Verbindungslinie 63 zwischen der Verschwenkachse 61 und der Achse 64 der Kontaktwalze 19 liegt, sondern geneigt zu dieser. Wird die Hilfswalze dem eingezeichneten Doppelpfeil 65 entsprechend verschoben, ändert die Lage der Kontaktlinie 41 und damit der Umschlingungswinkel a. Der Fachmann kann die Kröpfung und einen geeigneten Antrieb für die Verschiebung der Hilfswalze 30 dem Abschnitt 62 entlang bestimmen und betriebsfähig mit einer entsprechenden Maschinensteuerung verbinden, derart, dass im Betrieb ein auf den jeweiligen Wickel abgestimmter und wenn gewünscht auf den Wicklungsfortschritt abgestimmter Umschlingungswinkel α eingehalten werden kann. FIG. 6 schematically shows another embodiment of the present invention. Again, the contact roller 19 is suspended from schematically indicated by a thickened stroke pendulum arms 60, wherein the pendulum arms 60 are pivotable about a pivot axis 61. The auxiliary roll 30 is slidably mounted along a portion 62 of the pendulum arms 60. The pendulum arms 60 themselves are preferably formed double cranked, such that the portion 60 is not in the connecting line 63 between the pivot axis 61 and the axis 64 of the contact roller 19, but inclined to this. If the auxiliary roller according to the double arrow 65 is moved accordingly, changes the position of the contact line 41 and thus the wrap angle a. The person skilled in the art can determine the offset and a suitable drive for the displacement of the auxiliary roll 30 along the section 62 and operatively connect with a corresponding machine control, such that during operation a looping angle α adapted to the respective winding and, if desired, adapted to the winding progress is maintained can.

Erfindungsgemäss ist ebenfalls, die Hilfswalze gerade ausgebildeten Pendelarmen entlang zu verschieben, beispielsweise dann, wenn nur ein kleiner Betriebsbereich des Umschlingungswinkels α als notwendig erachtet wird.According to the invention is also to move the auxiliary roller along trained straight pendulum arms, for example, when only a small operating range of the wrap angle α is considered necessary.

An dieser Stelle sei angemerkt, dass der oben beschriebene Lufteintrag nicht nur im Bereich des Umschlingungswinkels α der Folie 5 auf der Kontaktwalze stattfindet, sondern grundsätzlich auch im Wickel 18 selbst. In den in den Figuren 3 bis 6 dargestellten Ausführungsformen ist der Umschlingungswinkel α auf dem Wickel 18 stets etwas grösser als 0°. Gegebenenfalls, je nach den Verhältnissen im Wickel 18, kann der Fachmann aber auch vorsehen, die Hilfswalze während der Wicklung derart zu positionieren, dass ein Umschlingungswinkel auf dem Wickel 18At this point it should be noted that the air entry described above takes place not only in the region of the wrap angle α of the film 5 on the contact roller, but in principle in the winding 18 itself. In the in the FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrated embodiments, the wrap angle α on the winding 18 is always slightly greater than 0 °. Optionally, depending on the conditions in the winding 18, the skilled person can also provide, however, to position the auxiliary roll during the winding such that a wrap on the winding 18th
