Devices made largely of metal are from the DE 10 2005 028 069 A1 and the DE 10 2013 104 049 A1 known. The coil accommodated in a container can be fixed within the container during transport. In a raised position, it can be rotated within the container and the elastomer strand can be unwound from it. The above-mentioned production plant has stub shafts that can be moved into the container and coil core from the outside for rotating the coil.
When the spool is unwound, the container with the emptied spool is exchanged for a container with a wound spool and the container with the emptied spool is transported back to the manufacturer of the elastomer strand.

Vorrichtungen mit den eingangs erwähnten Merkmalen gehen aus der ES 2 103 160 A1 sowie US 3 521 833 A hervor, bei denen das für die Verbindung zwischen einem Stirnwandteil und dem Spulenkern maßgebende Teil durch ein Ringelement gebildet ist. Beim Gegenstand der US 3 521 833 A bestehen die Ringelemente zudem aus einem festeren Material als die übrigen aus Karton hergestellten Teile der Spule.Devices with the features mentioned at the outset ES 2 103 160 A1 such as US 3,521,833 A in which the part determining the connection between an end wall part and the coil core is formed by a ring element. With the subject of US 3,521,833 A the ring elements also consist of a stronger material than the other parts of the coil made of cardboard.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird eine neue Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art geschaffen, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass das als Ringelement ausgebildete Teil mit dem Stirnwandteil durch Formschluss und mit dem Spulenkern durch Kraftschluss verbunden ist, wobei das Stirnwandteil zwei zueinander im Abstand angeordnete, am Rand miteinander verbundene Lagenabschnitte aufweist und aus einem in der Art einer Schachtel gefalteten Ausschnitt besteht.The present invention provides a new device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the part designed as a ring element is connected to the end wall part by positive locking and to the coil core by non-positive connection, the end wall part being arranged at a distance from one another at the edge connected Has layer sections and consists of a cutout folded in the manner of a box.

Das gesamte Materialvolumen schließt zur Materialoberfläche hin offene Porenräume oder dergleichen mit ein.The entire material volume includes pore spaces or the like which are open towards the material surface.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass dies sowohl zum Transport als auch vorübergehend als funktioneller Bestandteil der Fertigungseinrichtung benutzte Spule bei ausreichender Transport- und Fertigungssicherheit aus leichteren und damit weniger stabilen Materialien als nach dem Stand der Technik bestehen kann. Insbesondere kommen hierfür Schaumstoff-, Papp- und andere Fasermaterialien in Betracht, durch die sich bei einem gegenüber dem Stand der Technik etwa gleichbleibenden Transportvolumen der bewickelten Spule ein wesentlich verbessertes Verhältnis zwischen der Transportnutzlast und der Gesamttransportlast der bewickelten Spule ergibt, was eine verbesserte Auslastung des Volumens in ihrer Belastbarkeit beschränkter Transporträume von Transportfahrzeugen ermöglicht. Eine noch wesentlich weitergehende Verringerung des Transportaufwandes ergibt sich durch die vorliegende Erfindung dadurch, dass die verwendeten leichten Materialien eine problemlose Entsorgung der Spule am Verarbeitungsort des Elastomerstrangs gestatten, wodurch sich der Aufwand für den Rücktransport der Spule zum Hersteller des Elastomerstrangs vermeiden lässt. Durch den Verzicht auf die Rückführung der Spule ergibt sich umgekehrt die Möglichkeit zum Einsatz leichterer, weniger fester Materialien, da Anforderungen an die Dauerhaltbarkeit der Spule entfallen. Trotz Entsorgung der Spule verringert sich insgesamt der Aufwand für Transport und Verarbeitung des Elastomerstrangs.The invention is based on the knowledge that this coil, which is used both for transport and also temporarily as a functional component of the production device, can be made of lighter and thus less stable materials than in the prior art, with sufficient transport and production safety. Foam, cardboard and other fiber materials are particularly suitable for this purpose, which results in a substantially improved ratio between the transport payload and the total transport load of the wound bobbin, with the transport volume of the wound bobbin being approximately the same as in the prior art, which results in improved utilization of the Volume in their resilience allows limited transport spaces of transport vehicles. An even further reduction in the transport effort results from the present invention in that the light materials used permit problem-free disposal of the spool at the processing location of the elastomer strand, thereby avoiding the expense of returning the spool to the manufacturer of the elastomer strand. By doing without the return of the coil, there is the opposite possibility of using lighter, less strong materials, since there are no requirements regarding the durability of the coil. Despite disposal of the coil, the overall effort for transporting and processing the elastomer strand is reduced.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Spule bezogen auf ihre Masse zumindest überwiegend aus Material mit einer Dichte < 2,0g/cm3, vorzugsweise einer Dichte < 1,5g/cm3, insbesondere < 1g/cm3.In a preferred embodiment, the coil, based on its mass, consists at least predominantly of material with a density <2.0 g / cm 3 , preferably a density <1.5 g / cm 3 , in particular <1 g / cm 3 .

Der Masseanteil des Materials liegt vorzugsweise bei über 60%, insbesondere über 70%.The mass fraction of the material is preferably over 60%, in particular over 70%.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist zumindest ein durch die Einbeziehung in die Fertigungsanlage unmittelbar durch Berührung beanspruchtes Teil ein Material mit höherer Festigkeit als die übrigen Teile der Spule auf.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one part that is directly stressed by contact with the manufacturing system has a material with higher strength than the other parts of the coil.

Dieses zumindest eine Teil ist durch ein Ringelement gebildet, über das ein Spulenkern und ein Stirnteil der Spule miteinander verbunden sind.This at least one part is formed by a ring element, via which a coil core and an end part of the coil are connected to one another.

Vorteilhaft lässt sich eine solche Konstruktion mit geringem Bauaufwand und Aufwand an Materialkosten herstellen, indem z.B. lediglich das Ringelement aus einem höherwertigen Material hergestellt zu werden braucht, das stärker beanspruchbar als das Material des Spulenkerns und der Stirnteile ist.Such a construction can advantageously be produced with little construction and material costs, for example by only the ring element needs to be made of a higher quality material that is stronger than the material of the coil core and the end parts.

Insbesondere kann das Ringelement aus einem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise Recyclingkunststoff bestehen, während der Spulenkern und die Stirnteile aus Papp- oder/und Schaumstoffmaterial hergestellt sind. Vorteilhaft lassen sich solche Spulen am Verarbeitungsort nach vorübergehendem Einbau in die Fertigungsanlage mit geringem Aufwand entsorgen, wobei vorzugsweise eine materialsortenreine Entsorgung der Teile erfolgt, die ein problemloses Recycling der Materialien ermöglicht.In particular, the ring element can consist of a plastic, preferably recycled plastic, while the coil core and the end parts are made of cardboard and / or foam material. Such coils can advantageously be disposed of at the processing site after a temporary installation in the production system with little effort, the parts preferably being disposed of in a material-specific manner, which enables problem-free recycling of the materials.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Spulenkern wenigstens teilweise hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet und insbesondere axial auf eine äußere Umfangsfläche des Ringelements aufsteckbar.In one embodiment of the invention, the coil core is at least partially hollow cylindrical and in particular axially attachable to an outer circumferential surface of the ring element.

In einer solchen Konstruktion kann das Stirnteil zwischen einem Flansch des Ringelements und dem Endrand des aufgesteckten Spulenkerns eingeschlossen sein.In such a construction, the end part can be enclosed between a flange of the ring element and the end edge of the attached coil core.

Zweckmäßig ist zur Sicherung der Verbindung zwischen dem Spulenkern und dem Ringelement eine lösbare Verrastung herstellbar, wobei die Rastverbindung insbesondere eine in die Umfangsfläche hinein abbiegbare Rastzunge zum Einrasten in einer Öffnung in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns aufweist.In order to secure the connection between the coil core and the ring element, a releasable latching can expediently be produced, the latching connection in particular having a latching tongue that can be bent into the peripheral surface for latching into an opening in the cylinder wall of the coil core.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Rastzunge eine zu der Öffnung an der Zylinderwand ausgerichtete Öffnung für den Durchgang eines Endabschnitts des Elastomerstrangs auf. Vorteilhaft kann so die in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns vorgesehene Öffnung sowohl zur Einrastung als auch zur Durchführung des Elastomerstrangendes genutzt werden, um das Elastomerstrang ende auf der Innenseite der Wicklung zu fixieren.In a further embodiment of the invention, the latching tongue has an opening aligned with the opening on the cylinder wall for the passage of an end section of the elastomer strand. In this way, the opening provided in the cylinder wall of the coil core can advantageously be used both for latching and for carrying out the end of the elastomer strand in order to fix the end of the elastomer strand on the inside of the winding.

Entlang dem Rand der Öffnung in der Rastzunge kann ein Steg gebildet sein, der eine Rampe bildet, durch welche die Rastzunge beim Aufschieben des hohlzylindrischen Spulenkerns auf das Ringelement abbiegbar ist.A web can be formed along the edge of the opening in the latching tongue, which web forms a ramp through which the latching tongue can be bent when the hollow cylindrical coil core is pushed onto the ring element.

In einer Umfangsrichtung vor und hinter der Rastzunge und im Abstand dazu können sich von der Umfangsfläche ein oder mehrere Vorsprünge zum Eingriff in Endeinschlitzungen in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns erstrecken. Vorteilhaft ist durch solche eine Führung bildende Vorsprünge gesichert, dass die Öffnung in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns stets zur Deckung mit der Rastzunge bzw. der darin gebildeten Öffnung kommt.In a circumferential direction in front of and behind the latching tongue and at a distance from it, one or more projections can extend from the circumferential surface for engagement in end slots in the cylinder wall of the coil core. It is advantageously ensured by such projections forming a guide that the opening in the cylinder wall of the coil core always comes to coincide with the latching tongue or the opening formed therein.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind über die Umfangsfläche des Ringelements verteilt auf der Umfangsfläche Vorsprünge zur innenseitigen Verkrallung mit der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns vorgesehen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, projections for internal clawing with the cylinder wall of the coil core are provided on the circumferential surface, distributed over the circumferential surface.

Das Ringelement kann innenseitig zum drehfesten Eingriff eines Wellenstumpfs einer Halte- und ggf. Drehantriebseinrichtung der genannten Fertigungsanlage abweichend von einem Kreisformquerschnitt ausgebildet sein, wobei es möglich ist, dass der Eingriff nur in einer einzigen korrekten Stellung erfolgen kann, in welcher der Wellenstumpf Platz für das zur Innenseite des Ringelements vorstehende Ende des Elastomerstrangs bietet.The ring element can be formed on the inside for the rotationally fixed engagement of a stub shaft of a holding and, if necessary, rotary drive device of the production plant mentioned, deviating from a circular cross-section, it being possible that the engagement can only take place in a single correct position in which the stub shaft has space for the offers protruding end of the elastomer strand to the inside of the ring element.

Das Ringelement kann innenseitig eine Zahnung für den Antrieb durch den Wellenstumpf und ggf. einen axialen Anschlag für den Wellenstumpf aufweisen.The inside of the ring element can have a toothing for the drive through the stub shaft and possibly an axial stop for the stub shaft.

Es versteht sich, dass das Ringelement eine zu der Rastzunge bzw. Öffnung in der Rastzunge ausgerichtete Ausnehmung, die die Einbiegung der Rastzunge in die Umfangsfläche ermöglicht und Platz für das Elastomerstrangende schafft, aufweist.It goes without saying that the ring element has a recess aligned with the latching tongue or opening in the latching tongue, which enables the latching tongue to be bent into the peripheral surface and creates space for the end of the elastomer strand.

Vorzugsweise besteht ein die bewickelte Spule aufnehmender Verpackungsbehälter vollständig aus Material mit einer Dichte < 2,5g/cm3, vorzugsweise aus Schaumstoff, Papp- oder anderem Fasermaterial, wobei auch der Verpackungsbehälter zur Entsorgung am Verarbeitungsort vorgesehen ist.A packaging container which receives the wound bobbin preferably consists entirely of material with a density of <2.5 g / cm 3 , preferably of foam, cardboard or other fiber material, the packaging container also being provided for disposal at the processing location.

Zum Beispiel weist der Verpackungsbehälter vertikale Stützen auf, insbesondere vier vertikale Eckenstützen, um Verstärkungen für eine Stapelung der Verpackungsbehälter übereinander sowie die Stirnteile der Spule im Abstand zu der betreffenden Seitenwand haltende Abstandhalter zu bilden.For example, the packaging container has vertical supports, in particular four vertical corner supports, in order to form reinforcements for stacking the packaging containers on top of one another and to form spacers which keep the end parts of the coil at a distance from the relevant side wall.

Der Verpackungsbehälter kann mit oder ohne Bodenwand ausgebildet sein. Im letzteren Fall lässt er sich zwecks Verpackung von oben über die Spule stülpen.The packaging container can be designed with or without a bottom wall. In the latter case, it can be put over the coil from above for packaging.

Der Verpackungsbehälter kann zu dem Ringelement ausgerichtete Öffnungen aufweisen, die eine Entstapelung der Behälter durch einen Haltebügel ermöglichen.The packaging container can have openings aligned with the ring element, which enable the containers to be unstacked by means of a holding bracket.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Spulenkern zur Verbindung mit dem Ringelement axial in eine Ringtasche des Ringelements einsteckbar. Vorteilhaft lässt sich das Stirnende des wenigstens teilweise hohlzylindrischen Spulenkerns in der Ringtasche verklemmen. Vorteilhaft kann im Unterschied zu dem vorangehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel einer Spule die Last des Spulenkerns durch das Ringelement nicht nur auf der oberen Halbseite sondern auch der unteren Halbseite des Spulenkerns abgetragen werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the coil core can be inserted axially into a ring pocket of the ring element for connection to the ring element. The front end of the at least partially hollow cylindrical coil core can advantageously be clamped in the ring pocket. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment of a coil described above, the load of the coil core can be removed by the ring element not only on the upper half side but also on the lower half side of the coil core.

Zur Verklemmung kann die Ringtasche insbesondere über den Ringumfang verteilt radial nach innen vorstehende Klemmelemente aufweisen, wobei vorzugsweise voneinander gegenüberliegenden Innenwänden der Ringtasche vorstehende Klemmelemente in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind.For the clamping, the ring pocket can have clamping elements projecting radially inwards, in particular distributed over the ring circumference, wherein preferably opposite inner walls of the ring pocket projecting clamping elements are arranged offset in the circumferential direction to one another.

Das Ringelement kann zur Verbindung mit dem Stirnwandteil in eine Öffnung des Stirnwandteils bis zum Anschlag des Stirnwandteils gegen einen Flansch oder/und einen Stufenabsatz einsetzbar sein.The ring element can be used for connection to the end wall part in an opening of the end wall part up to the stop of the end wall part against a flange and / or a step shoulder.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Stirnwandteil zwei zueinander im Abstand angeordnete, am Rand miteinander verbundene Lagenabschnitte auf und besteht aus einem in der Art einer Schachtel gefaltetem Ausschnitt, vorzugsweise Ausschnitt aus Pappe.According to the invention, the end wall part has two layer sections arranged at a distance from one another and connected to one another at the edge and consists of a cutout, preferably a cutout made of cardboard, folded in the manner of a box.

In dieser Ausführungsform kann der äußere Lagenabschnitt des Stirnteils zum Anschlag gegen den Flansch und der innere Lagenabschnitt des Stirnteils zum Anschlag gegen den Stufenabsatz des Ringelements vorgesehen sein.In this embodiment, the outer layer section of the end part can be provided for abutment against the flange and the inner layer section of the end part for abutment against the step shoulder of the ring element.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die genannte Öffnung des Stirnwandteils in Bezug auf das Stirnwandteil exzentrisch angeordnet. Durch diese Maßnahme lässt sich verhindern, dass der auf die Spule aufgewickelte Elastomerstrang infolge Eigengewicht nach unten, über die Stirnwandteile der Spule hinausragt oder auf einem die Spule tragenden Boden aufliegt. Letzteres könnte nur durch geringere Bewicklung der Spule verhindert werden. Durch obengenannte Maßnahme lässt sich die Aufnahmekapazität der Spule voll ausnutzen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, said opening of the end wall part is arranged eccentrically with respect to the end wall part. This measure makes it possible to prevent the elastomer strand wound onto the spool from projecting downwards, beyond the end wall parts of the spool, or resting on a base carrying the spool. The latter could only can be prevented by less winding of the coil. The above-mentioned measure allows the coil's absorption capacity to be fully utilized.

In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Ringelement in einer Drehstellung zum Stirnwandteil die Lagenabschnitte des Stirnwandteils hintergreifende Anschlagelemente auf. Durch diese Anschlagelemente kann der Ring in der Art eines Bajonettverschlusses mit dem Stirnwandteil verbunden werden. Vorzugsweise weist das Ringelement ferner Einrichtungen zur Verrastung des Stirnwandteils mit dem Ringelement in der Drehstellung auf.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the ring element has, in a rotational position relative to the end wall part, stop elements engaging behind the layer sections of the end wall part. Through these stop elements, the ring be connected to the end wall part in the manner of a bayonet catch. The ring element preferably also has devices for latching the end wall part to the ring element in the rotational position.

Zum Antrieb der Spule ist an dem Ringelement vorzugsweise eine zur Ringachse koaxiale Zahnung zum Eingriff eines entsprechend gezahnten Antriebselements zum Drehantrieb der Spule vorgesehen, wobei die Zahnung eine Winkeleinteilung < 2° aufweist. Vorteilhaft kann durch eine derart enge Zahnung auf eine gesonderte Ausrichtung der Spule zu dem Antriebselement vor dem Eingriff verzichtet werden. Geringe Fehlstellungen in der Größenordnung von maximal 1° lassen sich problemlos selbsttätig ausgleichen.To drive the coil, a toothing coaxial with the ring axis for engaging a correspondingly toothed drive element for rotating the coil is preferably provided on the ring element, wherein the toothing has an angular division <2 °. With such a tight toothing, it is advantageously possible to dispense with a separate alignment of the coil with the drive element before the engagement. Small misalignments of the order of magnitude of 1 ° can easily be compensated for automatically.

Mit den vorangehend beschriebenen Spulen lässt sich ein Verfahren durchführen, bei dem ein auf eine Spule gewickelter Elastomerstrang an einen Verarbeitungsort transportiert und die bewickelte Spulung vorübergehend in eine Fertigungsanlage einbezogen wird, welche den Elastomerstrang fortlaufend unter Drehung der Spule zu Dichtungen an Türen oder Kofferräumen von Fahrzeugkarosserien verarbeitet, wobei die Spule nach Abwicklung des Elastomerstrangs aus der Fertigungsanlage entfernt, in Einzelteile zerlegt und entsorgt wird.The spools described above can be used to carry out a method in which an elastomer strand wound onto a spool is transported to a processing location and the wound spool is temporarily incorporated into a production system which continuously rotates the spool to seal seals on doors or trunk areas of vehicle bodies by rotating the spool processed, the bobbin being removed from the production system after the elastomer strand has been unwound, broken down into individual parts and disposed of.

Eine zur Aufnahme einer Wicklung aus einem Elastomerstrang 1 für die Bildung von Dichtungen an Fahrzeugkarosserien vorgesehene Spule 2 umfasst einen hohlzylindrischen Spulenkern 3 sowie zwei übereinstimmend ausgebildete Stirnwandteile 4,4'. Der Spulenkern 3 und die Stirnwandteile 4,4' bestehen aus Pappmaterial, wobei die Zylinderwand des hohlzylindrischen Spulenkerns 3 aus spiralförmig gewundenen, miteinander verbundenen Bahnen gebildet ist. Die Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns könnte auch homogen aus Fasermaterial hergestellt sein.A coil 2 provided for receiving a winding from an elastomer strand 1 for forming seals on vehicle bodies comprises a hollow cylindrical coil core 3 and two matching end wall parts 4, 4 '. The coil core 3 and the end wall parts 4, 4 'consist of cardboard material, the cylinder wall of the hollow cylindrical coil core 3 being formed from spirally wound, interconnected tracks. The cylinder wall of the coil core could also be made homogeneously from fiber material.

Der Spulenkern 3 ist an seinen Enden mit den Stirnwandteilen 4,4' jeweils über ein Ringelement 5 bzw. 5' verbunden. Die übereinstimmend ausgebildeten Ringelemente 5,5' bestehen in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem Recyclingkunststoff und sind einstückig durch Spritzgießen hergestellt.The coil core 3 is connected at its ends to the end wall parts 4, 4 'in each case via a ring element 5 or 5'. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the correspondingly formed ring elements 5, 5 'consist of a recycled plastic and are produced in one piece by injection molding.

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Spulenkern 3 und den Stirnwandteilen 4,4' durch die Ringelemente 5,5' ist dadurch hergestellt, dass die Stirnwandteile 4,4' jeweils zwischen einem Flansch 6 bzw. 6' der Ringelemente 5,5' und der betreffenden Endrandfläche des auf eine Umfangsfläche 25 der Ringelemente 5,5' aufgeschobenen hohlzylindrischen Spulenkerns 3 eingeschlossen ist. Ferner rastet zur Sicherung dieser Formschlussverbindung eine jeweils an den Ringelementen 5,5' gebildete, in die Umfangsfläche 25 einbiegbare Rastzunge 7 in eine Öffnung 8 in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns 3 ein. Die Rastzunge 7 weist selbst eine Öffnung 9 auf, die im eingerasteten Zustand zu der Öffnung 8 in der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns 3 ausgerichtet ist und zur Aufnahme und Festlegung des im Innern der Wicklung befindlichen Endes des Elastomerstrangs 1 dient.The connection between the coil core 3 and the end wall parts 4,4 'through the ring elements 5,5' is established in that the end wall parts 4,4 'each between a flange 6 or 6' of the ring elements 5,5 'and the relevant end edge surface of the hollow-cylindrical coil core 3, which is pushed onto a peripheral surface 25 of the ring elements 5, 5 '. Furthermore, in order to secure this form-fitting connection, a latching tongue 7, which is formed in each case on the ring elements 5, 5 ′ and can be bent into the peripheral surface 25, engages in an opening 8 in the cylinder wall of the coil core 3. The latching tongue 7 itself has an opening 9 which, when locked, is aligned with the opening 8 in the cylinder wall of the coil core 3 and serves to receive and fix the end of the elastomer strand 1 located inside the winding.

Auf einer Seite der Öffnung 8 weist die Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns 3 eine Endeinschlitzung 10 auf, in welche ein Stegvorsprung 11 des Ringelements 5,5' eingreift. Hierdurch ist gesichert, dass die Öffnungen 8 und 9 zur Deckung kommen.On one side of the opening 8, the cylinder wall of the coil core 3 has an end slot 10, in which a web projection 11 of the ring element 5, 5 'engages. This ensures that the openings 8 and 9 coincide.

Der Spulenkern 3 ist mit den Öffnungen 8 und Endeinschlitzungen 10 in Bezug auf eine Mittelebene symmetrisch ausgebildet.The coil core 3 is formed with the openings 8 and end slots 10 symmetrically with respect to a central plane.

Zur Sicherung der Verbindung zwischen den Ringelementen 5,5' und dem Spulenkern 3 tragen ferner über den Umfang der Ringelemente 5,5' verteilt angeordnete Vorsprünge 12 bei, durch die sich das Ringelement 5,5' im Pappmaterial der Zylinderwand des Spulenkerns 3 verkrallt.To secure the connection between the ring elements 5, 5 'and the coil core 3, protrusions 12, which are distributed over the circumference of the ring elements 5, 5' and through which the ring element 5, 5 'claws in the cardboard material of the cylinder wall of the coil core 3, also contribute.

Auf ihrer Innenseite weisen die Ringelemente 5,5' eine Zahnung bildende Taschen 13 für den Eingriff die Spule 2 drehbar halternder und ggf. antreibender Wellenstümpfe (Fig. 5c) auf, die bis zu einem Anschlag 14 in das Ringelement 5,5' einschiebbar sind.On the inside, the ring elements 5, 5 'have pockets 13 forming a toothing for the engagement of the shaft 2, which rotatably supports and possibly drives shaft stubs ( Fig. 5c ), which can be inserted into the ring element 5,5 'up to a stop 14.

Zwischen zwei der Taschen 13 ist eine zu der Rastzunge 7 mit der Öffnung 8 ausgerichtete Ausnehmung 15 gebildet, durch die Freiraum für die Unterbringung des obengenannten Elastomerstrangendes gebildet ist.Between two of the pockets 13, a recess 15 is formed which is aligned with the latching tongue 7 with the opening 8 and through which space for accommodating the above-mentioned elastomer strand end is formed.

Ein unter anderem in Fig. 4 gezeigter Behälter 16 dient zur Verpackung der mit dem Elastomerstrang 1 bewickelten Spule 2. Der Behälter 16 weist vier Seitenwände 17 aus Pappe auf. Im Inneren des Behälters befindet sich an jeder der vier vertikalen Ecken eine Vierkantstütze 18 aus Holz oder Pappmaterial.
Ein zweiflügliger Behälterdeckel ist in den Figuren nicht gezeigt.
Der Behälter 16 kann einen Boden aufweisen oder auf der Unterseite offen sein. In jedem Fall lässt er sich auf einer Palette 19 ablegen, in dem gezeigten Beispiel auf einer Holzpalette.
One among others in Fig. 4 The container 16 shown is used to package the spool 2 wound with the elastomer strand 1. The container 16 has four cardboard side walls 17. Inside the container there is a square support 18 made of wood or cardboard material at each of the four vertical corners.
A two-leaf container lid is not shown in the figures.
The container 16 can have a bottom or be open on the underside. In any case, it can be placed on a pallet 19, in the example shown on a wooden pallet.

Sofern ein Boden vorhanden ist, lässt sich die bewickelte Spule 2 an einem Haltebügel 20, der in die Ringelemente 5,5' eingreift, in den Behälter 16 absenken, wobei die Stirnwandteile 4,4' durch die Vierkantstützen im Abstand zu der betreffenden Seitenwand des Behälters 16 gehalten werden. Dadurch besteht Freiraum für die geringfügig mit ihrem Flansch 6 von den Stirnwandteilen 4,4' vorstehenden Ringelementen 5,5' sowie für die betreffenden Teile des Haltebügels 20.If there is a base, the wound coil 2 can be lowered into the container 16 on a holding bracket 20 which engages in the ring elements 5,5 ', the end wall parts 4,4' being spaced apart by the square supports from the relevant side wall of the Container 16 are held. This provides space for the flange 6 of the end wall parts 4, 4 'which is slightly projecting ring elements 5,5 'and for the relevant parts of the bracket 20.

Soweit der Behälter 16 keinen Boden enthält, kann er auf die Spule aufgesetzt werden, so dass die auf der Palette 19 aufliegende Spule mit Bezug auf den Behälter 16 die in Fig. 4b gezeigte Stellung einnimmt.If the container 16 does not contain a base, it can be placed on the spool, so that the spool resting on the pallet 19 with respect to the container 16 is the same as in FIG Fig. 4b shown position.

Gemäß Fig. 5a kann ein Haltebügel 20 auch zur Entnahme der bewickelten Spule 2 am Verarbeitungsort verwendet werden. Alternativ werden zur Freilegung der bewickelten Spule 2 die aus Pappe bestehenden Seitenwände 17 gemäß Fig. 5b einschließlich der Vierkantstützen lediglich gemäß Pfeilen 21 zur Seite hin weggerissen.According to Fig. 5a a bracket 20 can also be used to remove the wound coil 2 at the processing location. Alternatively, the cardboard side walls 17 according to FIG Fig. 5b including the square supports only torn away to the side according to arrows 21.

Die freigelegt Spule 2 wird dann gemäß Fig. 5c in eine Halte- und Drehantriebseinrichtung 22 eingebaut, welche Bestandteil einer den Elastomerstrang 1 fortlaufend zu Dichtungen an Fahrzeugkarosserien verarbeitenden Fertigungsanlage ist. Wellenstümpfe 23 greifen in die beiden Ringelemente 5,5' ein. Die Wellenstümpfe 23 sind gemäß Pfeil 24 heb- und senkbar und wenigstens einer der Wellenstümpfe bildet im angehobenen Zustand der bewickelten Spule 2 einen Drehantrieb.The exposed coil 2 is then in accordance Fig. 5c installed in a holding and rotary drive device 22, which is part of a manufacturing system that continuously processes the elastomer strand 1 to form seals on vehicle bodies. Shaft stubs 23 engage in the two ring elements 5, 5 '. The shaft ends 23 can be raised and lowered according to arrow 24 and at least one of the shaft ends forms a rotary drive when the wound coil 2 is raised.

Eine der Halte- und Drehantriebseinrichtung 22 entsprechende Einrichtung kann beim Hersteller des Elastomerstrangs 1 zum Aufwickeln des Elastomerstrangs auf die Spule 2 eingesetzt werden.A device corresponding to the holding and rotary drive device 22 can be used by the manufacturer of the elastomer strand 1 to wind the elastomer strand onto the spool 2.

Wie in Fig. 5a durch eine Strichlinie bei 27 angedeutet ist, kann der Behälter 16 an beiden den Ringelementen 5,5' gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden eine zu dem betreffenden Ringelement ausgerichtete Öffnung oder wenigstens eine Perforation zur Bildung einer solchen Öffnung aufweisen. Damit kann der Behälter durch einen dem Haltebügel 20 entsprechenden Haltebügel zwecks Stapelung oder Entstapelung angehoben bzw. abgesenkt werden.As in Fig. 5a is indicated by a dashed line at 27, the container 16 can have on both side walls opposite the ring elements 5, 5 'an opening aligned with the relevant ring element or at least one perforation to form such an opening. The container can thus be raised or lowered by a holding bracket corresponding to the holding bracket 20 for the purpose of stacking or unstacking.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine der Spule 2 von Fig. 1 ähnliche Spule 2a für die Aufnahme eines Elastomerstrangs 1a. Die Spule 2a weist einen hohlzylindrischen Spulenkern 3a auf, der wie der Spulenkern 3 der Spule 2 von Fig. 1 aus spiralförmig gewundenem Pappmaterial besteht. Ebenso aus Pappe bestehende Stirnwandteile 4a und 4a' sind jeweils über ein Ringelement 5a bzw. 5a' miteinander verbunden. Die Ringelemente 5a,5a' bestehen wie die Ringelemente 5,5' der Spule 2 von Fig. 1 aus Recylingkunststoff und sind einstückig durch Spritzgießen hergestellt. Fig. 6 shows one of the coil 2 of Fig. 1 similar coil 2a for receiving an elastomer strand 1a. The coil 2a has a hollow cylindrical coil core 3a which, like the coil core 3 of the coil 2 from Fig. 1 consists of spirally wound cardboard material. End wall parts 4a and 4a 'likewise made of cardboard are each connected to one another via a ring element 5a or 5a'. Like the ring elements 5, 5 ', the ring elements 5a, 5a' consist of the coil 2 of Fig. 1 made of recycled plastic and are made in one piece by injection molding.

Die Stirnwandteile 5a,5a', von denen eines gesondert in Fig. 7a dargestellt ist, bestehen im Unterschied zu den Spulenwandteilen 5,5' der Spule 2 von Fig. 1 nicht aus einer einzigen Pappmateriallage sondern jeweils aus einem in der Art einer Schachtel gefalteten Pappenausschnitt 28, wie er in Fig. 7b dargestellt ist.The end wall parts 5a, 5a ', one of which is separately in Fig. 7a is shown, in contrast to the coil wall parts 5,5 'of the coil 2 of Fig. 1 not from a single cardboard material layer but from a cardboard cutout 28 folded in the manner of a box, as shown in FIG Fig. 7b is shown.

Der Pappenausschnitt 28 weist achteckige Abschnitte 29 und 30 auf, die über einen durch Faltkanten begrenzten Zwischenabschnitt 31 miteinander verbunden sind. Jeder der Abschnitte 29,30 weist darüber hinaus jeweils drei umfaltbare Anhangsabschnitte 32 auf, wobei die Anhangsabschnitte 32 des Abschnitts 29 jeweils mit einer unmittelbaren Lasche 33 versehen sind und zwischen dem Abschnitt 30 und den drei Anhangsabschnitten 32 des Abschnitts 30 jeweils ein Aufnahmeschlitz 34 für eine der Laschen 33 gebildet ist. Durch Umfaltung um die jeweils gestrichelt dargestellten Faltkanten lässt sich das in Fig. 7a dargestellte achteckige Stirnwandteil 5a bzw. 5a' herstellen.The cardboard cutout 28 has octagonal sections 29 and 30 which are connected to one another via an intermediate section 31 delimited by folded edges. Each of the sections 29, 30 additionally has three foldable attachment sections 32, the attachment sections 32 of the section 29 each being provided with an immediate tab 33 and between the section 30 and the three attachment sections 32 of the section 30 in each case a receiving slot 34 for one the tabs 33 is formed. This can be done by folding around the fold edges shown in dashed lines Fig. 7a Produce the illustrated octagonal end wall part 5a or 5a '.

Wie Fig. 7 zu entnehmen ist, bilden die Abschnitte 29,30 zwei zueinander im Abstand stehende Lagen des Stirnwandteils 5a bzw. 5a' und weisen jeweils eine kreisrunde Öffnung mit verschiedenen Innendurchmessern auf, durch die eine Öffnung 35 des gefalteten Stirnwandteils gebildet ist. Wie weiter unten dargelegt ist, befindet sich der Mittelpunkt der kreisförmigen Öffnung nicht genau im Zentrum der die Lagen bildenden achteckigen Abschnitte 29,30, sondern ist exzentrisch zu diesen Abschnitten angeordnet. Vom Rand der betreffenden Öffnung des Abschnitts 30 stehen in dem gezeigten Beispiel drei Nasen 36 vor, die derart um 90° abwinkelbar sind, dass sie in dem gefalteten Stirnwandteil 5a bzw. 5a' als stabilisierender Abstandhalter gegen den anderen Abschnitt 29 anliegen.As Fig. 7 it can be seen that the sections 29, 30 form two spaced-apart layers of the end wall part 5a or 5a 'and each have a circular opening with different inner diameters, through which an opening 35 of the folded end wall part is formed. As explained below, the center of the circular opening is not exactly in the center of the octagonal sections 29, 30 forming the layers, but is arranged eccentrically to these sections. In the example shown, three lugs 36 protrude from the edge of the relevant opening of section 30, which can be angled by 90 ° in such a way that they rest in the folded end wall part 5a or 5a 'as a stabilizing spacer against the other section 29.

Neben den Nasen 36 weist die Öffnung in dem Abschnitt 30 des Ausschnittes 28 drei Randausnehmungen 37 auf, die wie die Nasen 36 im Winkelabstand von 120° zueinander angeordnet sind. Randausnehmungen 38 in gleicher Anordnung zueinander aber gegen die Randausnehmungen 37 um 60° versetzt weist auch die Öffnung in dem Abschnitt 29 auf.In addition to the lugs 36, the opening in the section 30 of the cutout 28 has three edge recesses 37 which, like the lugs 36, are arranged at an angular distance of 120 ° from one another. Edge recesses 38 in the same arrangement to one another but offset by 60 ° from the edge recesses 37 also have the opening in section 29.

Fig. 8 zeigt in drei verschiedenen Ansichten eines der beiden übereinstimmenden Ringelemente 5a,5a'. Die Ringelemente weisen eine äußere Umfangsfläche 40 auf, von der am äußeren Ringrand des Ringelements radial ein Flansch 41 nach außen vorsteht. Die äußere Umfangsfläche 40 ist ferner mit einem in Fig. 8b sichtbaren Stufenabsatz 42 versehen. Fig. 8 shows in three different views one of the two matching ring elements 5a, 5a '. The ring elements have an outer circumferential surface 40 from which a flange 41 projects radially outwards on the outer ring edge of the ring element. The outer peripheral surface 40 is also with an in Fig. 8b visible step 42 provided.

Zur inneren Stirnseite des Ringelements 5a bzw. 5a' hin öffnet eine Ringtasche 43. Von einander gegenüberliegenden Innenwänden der Ringtasche 43 stehen Klemmstege 44 vor, wobei die Klemmstege 44 über den Umfang des Ringelements verteilt sind und die Klemmstege auf der einen Innenwand zu den Klemmstegen auf der gegenüberliegenden Innenwand der Ringtasche 43 versetzt angeordnet sind.A ring pocket 43 opens toward the inner end face of the ring element 5a or 5a '. Clamping webs 44 protrude from mutually opposite inner walls of the ring pocket 43, the clamping webs 44 being distributed over the circumference of the ring element and the clamping webs on the one inner wall opening up to the clamping webs the opposite inner wall of the ring pocket 43 are arranged offset.

Angrenzend an die innere Stirnwand, zu welcher die Ringtasche 43 öffnet, ist das Ringelement durch eine radial nach innen vorstehende Ringschulter 45 verstärkt, wobei die Ringschulter einen zur Außenseite des Ringelements hin offenen Hohlraum aufweist, der durch um den Ringumfang verteilt angeordnete Stützstege 46 unterbrochen ist. Ein solcher, Materialhäufungen vermeidender Hohlraum mit um den Umfang des Ringelements verteilten Stützstegen 47 öffnet auch zur äußeren Stirnseite des Ringelements hin, wobei dieser Hohlraum zur Innenseite des Ringelements hin durch den Stufenabsatz 42 verschlossen ist.Adjacent to the inner end wall, to which the ring pocket 43 opens, the ring element is reinforced by a radially inwardly projecting ring shoulder 45, the ring shoulder having a cavity which is open to the outside of the ring element and is interrupted by support webs 46 distributed around the ring circumference . Such a cavity, which avoids material accumulations, with support webs 47 distributed around the circumference of the ring element also opens to the outer end face of the ring element, this cavity being closed off from the step element 42 on the inside of the ring element.

An der äußeren Stirnseite des Ringelements befindet sich eine zur Ringachse koaxiale Zahnung 48, wobei in dem gezeigten Beispiel 360 Zähne gebildet sind. Jeder Zahn nimmt einen Winkelbereich von 1° ein. Die Zahnung dient dem Drehantrieb der Spule 2a durch ein entsprechend gezahntes Antriebselement.On the outer end face of the ring element there is a toothing 48 coaxial with the ring axis, 360 teeth being formed in the example shown. Each tooth has an angular range of 1 °. The teeth serve to drive the coil 2a by means of a correspondingly toothed drive element.

Am inneren Rand der Umfangsfläche 40 des Ringelements 5 bzw. 5a' befinden sich im Winkelabstand von 120° drei radial nach außen vorstehende Anschlaglaschen 49.On the inner edge of the peripheral surface 40 of the ring element 5 or 5a ', there are three stop tabs 49 projecting radially outwards at an angular distance of 120 °.

An drei im Winkelabstand von 120° vorgesehenen Unterbrechungen des Flansches 41 steht von der Umfangsfläche 40 jeweils ein gewinkelter Steg 51 vor, an dessen axial verlaufender Abwinklung 52 sich ein Rastelement 53 anschließt, das um ein Filmscharnier 54 elastisch axial nach außen verschwenkbar ist. Die abgewinkelten Stege 51 sind zu den Anschlaglaschen 49 um jeweils 60° versetzt angeordnet.At three interruptions of the flange 41 provided at an angular distance of 120 °, an angled web 51 projects from the peripheral surface 40, to the axially extending bend 52 of which a locking element 53 is connected, which can be pivoted elastically axially outward about a film hinge 54. The angled webs 51 are arranged offset by 60 ° to the stop tabs 49.

Zur Montage der Spule 2a werden zunächst die Stirnwandteile 4a,4a' mit den Ringelementen 5a,5a' verbunden. Hierzu werden die Ringelemente jeweils axial von außen in die Öffnung 35 des betreffenden Stirnwandteils eingeschoben. Indem der Innendurchmesser der Öffnung in dem Abschnitt 30 größer als der Innendurchmesser der Öffnung in dem Abschnitt 29 ist, können die Anschlaglaschen 49 ungehindert durch erstere Öffnung hindurchtreten. Im Folgenden sind das Ringelement und das Stirnwandteil dann so zueinander auszurichten, dass die Anschlaglaschen 49 durch die Randausnehmungen 38 in der Öffnung in dem Abschnitt 29 hindurchtreten können.To assemble the coil 2a, the end wall parts 4a, 4a 'are first connected to the ring elements 5a, 5a'. For this purpose, the ring elements are inserted axially from the outside into the opening 35 of the relevant end wall part. Because the inside diameter of the opening in section 30 is larger than the inside diameter of the opening in section 29, the stop tabs 49 can pass through the former opening unhindered. The following are then align the ring element and the end wall part to one another such that the stop tabs 49 can pass through the edge recesses 38 in the opening in the section 29.

In der genannten Ausrichtstellung sind die Randausnehmungen 37 in dem Abschnitt 30 zu den gewinkelten Stegen 51 ausgerichtet, so dass diese Stege, wie in Fig. 10 gezeigt, durch die Randausnehmungen 37 in dem Abschnitt 30 des Stirnwandteils hindurchtreten können, wobei es zu einer Ausschwenkung der Rastelemente 53 kommt.In the alignment position mentioned, the edge recesses 37 in section 30 are aligned with the angled webs 51, so that these webs, as in FIG Fig. 10 shown, can pass through the edge recesses 37 in the section 30 of the end wall part, with the latching elements 53 being pivoted out.

Zur Herstellung einer festen Verbindung zwischen den Ringelementen und den Stirnwandteilen werden die Stirnwandteile gegen die Ringelemente abschließend verdreht, so dass die Anschlaglaschen 49 und die Stege 51 den Abschnitt 29 bzw. 30 des Stirnwandteils in der Art eines Bajonettverschlusses hintergreifen. Im verdrehten Zustand, in welchem die Stege 51 dann den Abschnitt 30 hintergreifen, können die drei Rastelemente 53 dann in die Randausnehmungen 37 hinein zurückschwenken, so dass das Stirnwandteil auf dem Ringelement in der betreffenden Drehstellung fixiert ist, indem das Rastelement 53 gegen den einen Randabschnitt 55 der Randausnehmung 37 anliegt. Axial ist der Abschnitt 29 zwischen den Anschlaglaschen 49 und dem Stufenabsatz 42, der Abschnitt 30 zwischen dem Flansch 41 und den Stegen 51 eingeschlossen.To produce a firm connection between the ring elements and the end wall parts, the end wall parts are finally rotated against the ring elements, so that the stop tabs 49 and the webs 51 engage behind the sections 29 and 30 of the end wall part in the manner of a bayonet catch. In the rotated state, in which the webs 51 then engage behind the section 30, the three latching elements 53 can then pivot back into the edge recesses 37, so that the end wall part is fixed on the ring element in the relevant rotational position by the latching element 53 against the one edge section 55 of the edge recess 37 abuts. The section 29 is axially enclosed between the stop tabs 49 and the stepped shoulder 42, the section 30 between the flange 41 and the webs 51.

Die Stirnwandteile 4a,4a' mit den eingesetzten Ringelementen 5a,5a' können dann gemäß Fig. 12 auf die Stirnenden 39 des in Fig. 11 ausschnittsweise gesondert dargestellten hohlzylindrischen Spulenkerns 3a axial aufgeschoben werden. Die vorstehenden Klemmstege 44 sorgen für eine feste Klemmverbindung.The end wall parts 4a, 4a 'with the inserted ring elements 5a, 5a' can then according to Fig. 12 on the foreheads 39 of the in Fig. 11 sections of the hollow cylindrical coil core 3a shown separately are pushed on axially. The projecting clamping webs 44 ensure a firm clamping connection.

Bei der Verbindung des Spulenkerns 3a mit den Stirnwandteilen 4a,4a' ist lediglich darauf zu achten, dass die Stirnwandteile 4a,4a' zueinander so ausgerichtet sind, dass die Zwischenabschnitte 31 sich in Längsrichtung zueinander parallel erstrecken. Zweckmäßig wird die Spule 2a auf einem Boden so gelagert, dass die Zwischenabschnitte 31 nach oben weisen. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite wird die durch Laschen und Schlitze hergestellte Verbindung zwischen den Abschnitten 29,30 dann durch die Auflage der Spule auf dem Boden zusätzlich gegen ungewolltes Lösen gesichert.When connecting the coil core 3a to the end wall parts 4a, 4a ', it is only necessary to ensure that the end wall parts 4a, 4a' are aligned with one another such that the intermediate sections 31 extend parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction. The coil 2a is expediently mounted on a floor in such a way that the intermediate sections 31 point upwards. On the opposite side, the connection between the sections 29, 30 made by tabs and slots is then additionally secured against unintentional loosening by the coil resting on the floor.

Fig. 13 zeigt die mit dem Dichtungsstrangmaterial 1a bewickelte Spule 2a, die auf einer Trägerpalette 57 mit einem nach oben vorstehenden Ringrand 58 aufliegt. Zur Verpackung wird ein oben und unten offener, Seitenwände bildender Kastenteil 56 aufgesetzt, dessen unterer Rand auf der Innenseite des Ringrands 58 auf der Trägerpalette 57 aufsitzt. Ein durch Verschlussbänder 59,60 gesicherter Deckel 61 schließt die Verpackung nach oben ab. Der Ringrand 58 könnte durch ein dem Deckel 61 entsprechendes, mit einem unteren Holzteil der Trägerpalette 57 verbundenes Teil gebildet sein, das gegenüber dem Deckel 61 um 180° gewendet ist. Fig. 13 shows the coil 2a wound with the sealing strand material 1a, which lies on a carrier pallet 57 with an upwardly projecting ring edge 58. For packaging, a box part 56 which is open at the top and bottom and forms side walls is placed, the lower edge of which rests on the inside of the ring edge 58 on the carrier pallet 57. A lid 61 secured by fastener tapes 59, 60 closes the packaging at the top. The ring edge 58 could be formed by a part corresponding to the cover 61 and connected to a lower wooden part of the carrier pallet 57, which is turned by 180 ° with respect to the cover 61.

Beim Auspacken wird nach Lösen der Verschlussbänder 59,60 und Entfernen des Deckels 61 abschließend der Kastenteil 56 nach oben abgehoben, zusammengelegt und entsorgt.When unpacking, after loosening the closure straps 59, 60 and removing the cover 61, the box part 56 is finally lifted up, folded up and disposed of.

Fig. 14 zeigt in die Ringelemente 5a,5a' eingreifende Antriebselemente 62 einer Fertigungseinrichtung, durch die die Spule 2a angehoben, gehalten und gedreht wird. Die Antriebselemente 62 weisen (nicht gezeigte) Achsstummel mit einem Stufenabsatz auf, an dem eine der Zahnung 48 entsprechende Zahnung gebildet ist. Vorteilhaft bedarf es keiner besonderen Ausrichtung der Spule zu dieser Antriebszahnung. Eine Fehlausrichtung, die in jedem Fall unterhalb eines halben Grades liegt, lässt sich problemlos durch das Spiel des die Antriebszahnung tragenden Antriebselements ausgleichen. Fig. 14 shows drive elements 62 of a production device engaging in the ring elements 5a, 5a ', by means of which the coil 2a is raised, held and rotated. The drive elements 62 have stub axles (not shown) with a step shoulder on which a toothing corresponding to the toothing 48 is formed. Advantageously, no special alignment of the coil to this drive toothing is required. A misalignment, which is in any case below half a degree, can easily be compensated for by the play of the drive element carrying the drive toothing.

Der oben beschriebene Antrieb beruht sowohl auf Formschluss als auch Kraftschluss. Es versteht sich, dass mit zunehmender Feinheit der Winkelteilung der Zahnung der Antrieb in einen rein kraftschlüssigen Antrieb übergeht.The drive described above is based on both positive and non-positive. It goes without saying that with increasing fineness of the angular division of the toothing, the drive changes into a purely non-positive drive.
