Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and machines for producing logs of web material, in particular but not exclusively logs of paper, in particular tissue paper, for example rolls of toilet tissue, kitchen towels or the like.
  • winding rollers that, in various combinations and arrangements, and with suitably controlled rotation, allow logs to be produced automatically in rapid sequence through continuous feed of the web material.
  • the log At the end of winding of a log, the log must be moved away from the winding area and the web material must be severed (by cutting, tearing or the like), to allow winding of a subsequent log to start.
  • winding takes place around winding cores, typically but not exclusively made of cardboard, plastic or another similar suitable material.
  • winding takes place around extractable and recyclable mandrels, i.e. which are extracted from the completed log after winding has been completed, to be reinserted into the rewinding machine in order to wind a subsequent log.
  • severing of the web material is performed by means of a severing, tearing or cutting member, which cooperates with a fixed axis winding roller, around which the web material is fed, and which defines, together with a second winding roller, a nip for inserting the winding cores into a winding cradle.
  • One of the critical steps in automatic continuous peripheral rewinding machines of the type described above consists in the change-over step, i.e. the step of severing the web material, discharging the completed log and starting to wind a new log around a new winding core inserted into the winding cradle.
  • WO-A-2012/042549 describes a peripheral automatic rewinding machine with four rollers.
  • the use of four rollers, all or at least some with movable axes, allows two winding cradles to be defined and more efficient control of the log being formed.
  • the log being formed is always in contact with at least three winding rollers and in some cases it can be temporarily in contact with four winding rollers. This allows particularly efficient control of the winding cycle, of the shape of the log and of the winding density to be obtained.
  • the web material is severed by lengthening the path of the web material between two winding rollers.
  • Lengthening causes the web material to break, forming the free trailing edge of a complete log and a free leading edge to start winding the subsequent log on a new core.
  • this machine achieves particularly appreciable results in terms of winding accuracy and operating reliability, there are some aspects that could be further improved.
  • correct operation and reproducibility of the winding cycle in some cases can depend on the properties of the material being processed, i.e. of the web material and/or of the winding cores.
  • a rewinding machine with four rollers, of automatic continuous peripheral type in which logs of web material are wound in rapid sequence around winding cores, without interrupting the feed of the web material, i.e. feeding the web material continuously or substantially continuously to a winding head, which comprises, in addition to the winding rollers, also a mechanism for severing of the web material at the end of each winding cycle.
  • continuous or substantially continuous feed it is intended here that the web material has a feed speed that is substantially independent from the winding cycle, it being understood that other factors can, even substantially, modify the feed speed of the web material. For example, when a parent reel from which the web material is dispensed, must be replaced, or when the web material breaks, it may be necessary to slow or even stop feed of the web material to the winding head. However, this variation of speed or stop is not correlated to the winding cycle of the single logs.
  • the first winding roller and the second winding roller define a nip through which the winding cores with the web material wound around them pass.
  • the rewinding machine can also comprise a winding cores feed path that extends between the first winding roller and the third winding roller.
  • a second winding cradle is also provided, formed between the first winding roller, the second winding roller and a fourth winding roller.
  • the third winding roller is positioned upstream of the nip and the fourth winding roller is positioned downstream of the nip, with respect to the direction of feed of the winding cores through the nip.
  • the rewinding machine can comprise a rolling surface for the winding cores, extending partially around the first winding roller toward the third winding roller. Between the rolling surface and the first winding roller an insertion, i.e. feed, channel for the winding cores is defined. In the rewinding machine there can be defined a feed path for the web material which extends between the first winding roller and the third winding roller and between the first winding roller and the second winding roller.
  • the rolling surface is configured and arranged with respect to the first winding roller so that the cores are fed by rolling in contact with the rolling surface and with the web material driven around the first winding roller.
  • winding roller is intended as a motorized roller, i.e. a roller which is rotated positively by means of a motor, to transmit the winding movement to the log being formed by friction between the surface of the winding roller and the log, which contacts said winding roller.
  • the arrangement of the winding rollers is such as to allow, for example, winding of the logs of web material by co-action always of three winding rollers in contact with the log being formed.
  • the particular arrangement of the third winding roller with respect to the insertion path of the cores and of the web material, which extends between the third winding roller and the first winding roller, as well as through the nip between the first winding roller and the second winding roller, which separates the first winding cradle with respect to the second winding cradle can allow the winding rollers to be suitably dimensioned, to process also winding cores of small diameter.
  • the rewinding machine comprises a web material severing member configured and controlled to sever the web material at the end of winding of a log in the second winding cradle.
  • the severing member can be configured and controlled to cooperate with the first winding roller.
  • the severing member is configured and controlled to pinch the web material against the first winding roller and sever the web material by generating in the web material a tension greater than the breaking point of the web material.
  • the rolling surface extends from an inlet of winding cores feed channel to the third winding roller.
  • the winding cores are inserted in the channel, fed by rolling along said channel and around the first winding roller, with the web material between the first winding roller and the winding core being fed in the channel.
  • the path of the winding cores then continues, beyond the insertion channel, between the first winding roller and the third winding roller, to reach the first winding cradle.
  • the rolling surface has interruptions through which a severing member can penetrate the winding cores feed channel to pinch the web material against the first winding roller.
  • the rolling surface can be formed by a comb structure, comprising a plurality of shaped laminar elements, spaced from one another. The shaped edges of the laminar elements form the rolling surface for the cores. The space between adjacent elements allows the passage of the severing member.
  • the severing member can comprise one or more pressers that are interposed between laminar elements of the comb structure forming the rolling surface.
  • the rolling surface can be divided into two portions.
  • a first portion can be stationary with respect to a load-bearing structure.
  • a second portion positioned downstream of the first portion with respect to the direction of feed of the winding cores along the insertion channel, can be movable together with the third winding roller.
  • At least one of said first winding roller and second winding roller has a movable axis, to control the distance between the first winding roller and the second winding roller and the dimension of the nip between the first winding roller and the second winding roller.
  • both the first winding roller and the second winding roller have a movable axis.
  • the first winding roller and the second winding roller can have axes that move symmetrically with respect to a centerline plane passing through the nip formed between the first winding roller and the second winding roller.

  • the diameters of the four winding rollers could be different from one another.
  • the movement of the first, second, third and fourth winding rollers during forming of the log is controlled so that: a first part of winding of the log takes place with the log in contact with the first winding roller, the second winding roller and the third winding roller; a second part of winding of the log takes place with the log in contact with the first winding roller, the second winding roller, the third winding roller and the fourth winding roller; a third part of winding of the log takes place with the log in contact with the first winding roller, the second winding roller and the fourth winding roller.

  • the axes 1A and 3A are substantially parallel to each other.
  • a nip 5 through which there is fed (at least during a part of the winding cycle of each log) a web material N to be wound around winding cores A1, A2 around which logs L1, L2 are formed.
  • the path of the web material N extends around the first winding roller 1, wrapping it partially, so that the web material N is in contact with the cylindrical surface of the winding roller 1 for a certain arc of contact, which can vary during the winding cycle, as will be apparent from the description of the winding process.
  • the winding cores also pass through the winding nip 5 during an intermediate step of the winding cycle.
  • the winding cores A1, A2 are inserted into the machine upstream of the nip 5, into a first winding cradle 6, formed by the first winding roller 1, by the second winding roller 3 and by a third winding roller 7.
  • the reference 7A indicates the rotation axis of the third winding roller 7, substantially parallel to the axes 1A and 3A of the first winding roller 1 and of the second winding roller 3, respectively.
  • Winding of web material N around the winding cores ends when the winding cores are located in a second winding cradle 10 positioned downstream of the nip 5 with respect to the direction of feed of the winding cores in the winding head formed by the winding rollers.
  • the second winding cradle is formed by the first winding roller 1, by the second winding roller 3, and by a fourth winding roller 8.
  • the reference 8A indicates the rotation axis of the fourth winding roller 8, which is substantially parallel to the axes of the winding rollers 1, 3, 7.
  • the reference 12 indicates a pair of arms pivoted in 12A, which support the fourth winding roller 8.
  • the double arrow f12 indicates the pivoting movement, i.e. the reciprocating rotation movement of the arm 12 and consequently of the fourth winding roller 8.
  • the fourth winding roller 8 can be carried by a system of slides moving on linear guides, instead of by arms pivoted around a pivoting axis . Also in this case, the translation movement along the linear guides allows the winding roller 8 to move toward and away from the nip 5.
  • upstream and downstream in relation to the position of the winding rollers refers to the direction of feed of the web material and of the axis of the winding cores, unless otherwise specified.
  • the third winding roller 7 is provided with a movement toward and away from the winding nip 5.

  • the third winding roller 7 can be supported by slides moving on linear guides, so as to follow, for example, a trajectory of rectilinear motion.
  • a core feeder or inserter 11 is arranged, which can be made in any suitable manner and inserts single winding cores A1, A2 toward the first winding cradle, as will be described in greater detail with reference to the sequence of Figs. 1 to 5 .

  • a “corewinder” i.e. from a machine for forming winding cores, associated with the converting line of the web material N in which the rewinding machine 2 is inserted, and not shown.
  • the rewinding machine comprises a rolling surface 19 for the winding cores.
  • the rolling surface 19 can have a roughly cylindrical shape, approximately coaxial to the first winding roller 1 with movable axis, when this is in the position of Fig.1 .
  • the rolling surface 19 can have a step 19G in an intermediate position of its extension.
  • the rolling surface 19 can be divided into a first portion 19A and into a second portion 19B, the first positioned upstream of the second, with respect to the direction of feed of the web material N.
  • the rolling surface 19 and the cylindrical surface of the first winding roller 1 form a feed channel 21 for the winding cores A1, A2.
  • the height of the feed channel 21 for the winding cores can be smaller in the first portion of the feed channel and larger in the second portion of the feed channel 21.
  • the purpose of this variation of the height of the feed channel 21 is to facilitate the start of a rolling motion of each new winding core A1, A2, inserted in the feed channel 21 by the inserter or feeder 11, as will be explained herein below.
  • the height of the feed channel i.e. the distance between winding roller 1 and rolling surface 19, can be smaller than the diameter of the winding cores A1, A2.
  • the rolling surface 19 is formed by a comb structure, with a plurality of arched plates arranged side-by-side with one another, between which free spaces are formed. Through these free spaces between adjacent plates forming the rolling surface 19 there can be inserted a severing member of the web material N, indicated as a whole with 23.

  • the elements 19C can also be plates forming a comb structure.
  • the surface 19B can be formed by a single arched plate, which extends transversely with respect to the feed movement of the web material, i.e. parallel to the axes of the winding rollers 1, 3, 7.
  • the severing member 23 comprises a presser, for example including a plurality of presser members 24.
  • the severing member 23 can be provided with a reciprocating rotational movement, about an axis 23A, approximately parallel to the axes of the winding rollers 1, 3.
  • Reference f23 indicates the movement of the severing member 23.
  • Each presser member can have a pressing pad 24A.
  • the pressing pad 24A can be made, for example, of elastically yielding material preferably with a high coefficient of friction, for example rubber.
  • the severing member 23 is pressed against the first winding roller 1 to pinch the web material N between the pads 24A of the presser members 24 and the surface of the first winding roller 1.
  • This latter can have a surface with annular bands having a high coefficient of friction and annular bands having a low coefficient of friction.
  • the terms "high” and "low” are intended to indicate a relative value of the coefficients of friction of the two series of alternating annular bands.
  • the bands with low coefficient of friction can advantageously be arranged in the areas in which the pads 24A of the presser members 24 press. In this way, when the web material N is pinched against the first winding roller 1 by the presser members 24, it tends to be stopped by the pads 24A and to slide on the annular bands with low coefficient of friction of the first winding roller 1.
  • Fig.1 shows a final step of the winding cycle of a first log L1.
  • the log L1 is located in the second winding cradle 10, in contact with the first winding roller 1, the second winding roller 3 and the fourth winding roller 8.

  • Reference 27 indicates a guide roller for the web material N positioned upstream of the winding head defined by the winding rollers 1, 3, 7 and 8.
  • the feed speed of the web material N is substantially constant.
  • Substantially constant is intended as a speed that varies slowly with respect to the winding speed and as a consequence of factors that are independent from the operations performed by the members of the winding head described above, which are controlled so as to perform the winding cycle, discharge the formed log, insert the new core and start winding a new log at a constant feed speed of the web material toward the cluster of winding rollers and in particular toward the first winding roller 1.
  • the peripheral speeds of the winding rollers 1, 3, 7 and 8 are substantially the same as one another and the various winding rollers all rotate in the same direction, as indicated by the arrows in the drawing.
  • substantially the same means that the speed can vary limited to the needs to control the compactness of winding and the tension of the web material N between the winding roller 7 and the winding roller 8, for example to offset the variation in tension that could be caused by the movement of the center of the log being formed along the path between the winding rollers.
  • this difference between peripheral speeds of the winding rollers can typically be comprised between 0.1 and 1% and preferably between 0.15 and 0.5%, for example between 0.2 and 0.3%, it being understood that these values are examples and are not limiting.
  • peripheral speeds can vary slightly to cause the advancing movement of the log being formed, as clarified below, in order for it to pass from the first winding cradle 6 to the second winding cradle 10.
  • the winding cycle of the logs is as follows.
  • Fig.1 the log L1 in the winding cradle 10 formed by the rollers 1, 3, 8 has practically been completed, with winding of the required amount of web material N around the first winding core A1.
  • the quantity of wound web material can be determined by a winding length.
  • a second winding core A2 has been brought by the winding cores feeder or inserter 11 at the inlet of the feed channel 21.
  • the reference C indicates a continuous line or a series of dots of glue applied to the outer surface of the second winding core A2.
  • Fig.2 shows the start of the change-over step, i.e. of discharge of the completed log L1 and insertion of the new winding core A2 into the winding head formed by the rollers 1, 3, 7, 8.
  • the second winding core A2 is inserted by the winding cores feeder or inserter 11 into the inlet of the feed channel 21 defined between the first winding roller 1 and the rolling surface 19.
  • the position of the first winding roller 1 in this step of the winding cycle is such that it is about coaxial to the generally and approximately cylindrical rolling surface 19.
  • the distance between the portion 19A of the rolling surface 19 and the cylindrical surface of the first winding roller 1 is slightly less than the diameter of the winding core A2. In this way, the winding core A2 entering the feed channel 21 is pressed against the rolling surface 19 and against the web material N driven around the first winding roller 1.
  • This pressure generates a friction force between the surface of the winding core A2 and the rolling surface 19, and between the surface of the winding core A2 and the web material N entrained around the cylindrical surface of the first winding roller 1. This ensures that, as a result of the rotation movement of the first winding roller 1 and of feed of the web material N, the winding core A2 accelerates angularly, starting to roll along the rolling surface 19, pushed by the web material N and by the first winding roller 1 against which the web material N is pressed.
  • the radial dimension of the feed channel 21 can increase gradually, thus reducing deformation of the diameter of the winding core A2 and allowing winding of the web material N around it to start, with consequent formation of turns of a new log.
  • the step 19G can facilitate the initial angular acceleration phase of the winding core A2.
  • the line of glue C applied to the winding core A2 comes into contact with the web material N, causing adhesion of the web material N to the winding core.

  • the third winding roller 7 can be provided with a series of annular grooves 7S , into which the ends of the plates that form the terminal part 19B of the rolling surface 19 are inserted. In this way, the winding core A2 is gently transferred from the rolling surface 19 to the surface of the third winding roller 7.
  • the severing member 23 is rotated around the axis 23A until it exits from the feed channel 21.
  • the glue C (or another means or member for starting winding) has caused adhesion of the web material N to the winding core A2, so that the web material starts to wind on the winding core A2 starting the formation of a second log L2 while the core is fed by rolling along the channel 21.
  • the first log L1 starts the movement of ejection from the second winding cradle 10, for example as a result of a variation of the peripheral speeds of the rollers 1, 3 and 8.

  • the feed movement of the axis of the log L2 can be suitably obtained with a control of the movement of the winding rollers, which by modifying the mutual position of their axes, move the log L2 into the, and through the, area of minimum distance between the rollers 1 and 3.
  • movement can be obtained by pushing the log with the third winding roller 7.
  • the movement of the log can be facilitated, supported or influenced through temporary variation of the peripheral speeds of the winding rollers, for example by decreasing the peripheral speed of the second winding roller 3 for a short time.
  • Fig.5 includes a step in which the log L2 is in contact with the four winding rollers 1, 3, 7 and 8
  • the third winding roller 7 could lose contact with the log L2 before it passes through the nip 5, beyond the point of minimum distance between the winding rollers 1 and 3, and comes into contact with the fourth winding roller 8.

  • This allows more regular winding and facilitates the use of centers that can be inserted into the opposed ends of the winding cores in order to improve control of the rotation and feed movement of the core and of the log during the winding cycle, combining the peripheral winding technique with an axial or central winding, as described, for example, in the US patent no. 7,775,476 and in the publication US-A-2007/0176039 .

Control of the winding cores of small diameter is nonetheless guaranteed also with winding rollers 1, 3 of relatively large diameter, as the third winding roller 7 can be provided with a smaller diameter.
  • the lower flexural rigidity of the third winding roller 7 due to the smaller diameter of this roller can be offset using one or more intermediate supports.

In this way, the number of actuators required for movement of the various members of the rewinder is reduced and the law for controlling the motion of the winding rollers is simplified. If the two winding rollers 1 and 3 have different diameters, it is advantageous for the winding roller of larger diameter, for example the winding roller 1, to have a fixed axis, while the winding roller of smaller diameter has a movable axis. In this configuration the winding sequence of the web material around the winding core does not change.
