Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for winding a metallic strip according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 3, and a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 11.
- reel devices In order to prepare for the transport of steel strips, reel devices are known in the prior art, in which a respective band is guided from a driver device to a reel mandrel rotatably mounted about an axis and is then wound onto the reel mandrel. Between the driver device and the reel mandrel there is a guide shaft through which the tape to be wound is traversed. A belt switch is arranged adjacent to an opening in the guide shaft, with which the belt experiences a change in direction and is thus guided into the guide shaft.
- the head of a tape to be wound hits the tape switch or other components that, viewed in the transport direction of the tape, after or after passing the driver device with a relatively high impulse, due to the speed and rigidity of the tape are arranged downstream of the belt switch.
- the mechanical guiding or diversion of the belt which takes place essentially through contact with the belt switch, disadvantageously leads to a frictional resistance between the moving belt and the contact surfaces of the belt switch. In particular with thin strip material, this can cause a transport inhibition. which leads to a build-up and an unfavorable directional reversal of the strip material.
- This disadvantage also exists in the event that a fluid or water is sprayed onto the belt in the area of the belt switch, but insufficient forces are generated on the belt for the purpose of deflecting it into the guide shaft.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a technology for winding a metallic strip with which an improved winding quality for the strip and, with regard to the spray water used for this purpose, an improved energy efficiency is achieved.
- a method according to the present invention is used for winding a metallic strip, in particular a steel strip.
- This method provides that the tape is moved in one transport direction, guided through a tape switch into a guide shaft and then wound onto a reel mandrel that is rotatably mounted about an axis.
- a fluid is applied to the belt in the direction of the guide shaft in order to optimize the threading of the belt into the guide shaft.
- at least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water is sprayed under pressure onto the belt.
- water under pressure is used as the fluid, the water pressure being set such that a width-specific force between 0.1 N / [mm bandwidth] and 10 N / [mm bandwidth] is exerted on the band.
- the water only hits the belt in the area of the belt switch is applied until the tape head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns.
- An alternative method according to the present invention is also used for winding a metallic tape. It is provided that the tape is moved in one transport direction, guided into a guide shaft through a tape switch and then wound onto a reel mandrel rotatably mounted around an axis, a fluid being applied to the tape in the direction of the guide slot in the area of the tape switch.
- the belt switch there is at least one opening through which the water is sprayed onto the belt under pressure. Water under pressure is used as the fluid, with the water being applied to the strip in the area of the strip switch only until the strip head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns.
- the water pressure is set such that a width-specific force of between 0.1 N / [mm bandwidth] and 10 N / [mm bandwidth] is exerted on the band.
- the invention is based on the essential knowledge that with the help of the water that is sprayed onto the belt in the area of the belt switch and leads to a width-specific force between 0.1 N / [mm belt width] and 10 N / [mm belt width] a pressure or a force is exerted on the tape which is sufficiently great that the tape is effectively deflected in direction into the guide shaft.
- the deflection or guidance of the tape and its tape head is achieved essentially solely by the water sprayed onto the tape under pressure. This ensures that the mechanical contact of the tape head with the tape switch is advantageously minimized.
- the belt switch thus only forms a "safety position", mechanical contact of the tape head with the belt switch then actually or at the latest causing the belt to be deflected or guided into the guide shaft.
- Another essential aspect of the present invention is that when the tape is wound up, the energy efficiency with regard to the spraying of the water that is applied to the tape in the area of the tape switch is optimized by such an application or spraying of water the tape for the purpose of deflecting it into the guide shaft only takes place as long as the tape head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns.
- this nozzle or nozzles are designed in such a way that the water is applied to the belt over its entire length Width can be applied. This ensures that a force is exerted on the belt over its entire width by the water sprayed on it, in order to achieve a uniform change in direction or reversal in the direction of the guide shaft.
- the water under pressure is applied to the belt in the area of the belt switch through at least one nozzle or a row of nozzles is deployed which, viewed in the direction of transport of the belt, is arranged upstream of a pivot point of the belt switch.
- a nozzle or row of nozzles can also be arranged upstream of a tip of the belt switch, viewed in the direction of transport of the belt.
- At least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water is sprayed onto the belt under pressure.
- an opening can be designed in the form of a slot opening and extend over the width of the belt switch.
- the water can be sprayed onto the belt under pressure in such a way that it has a directional component in the direction of transport of the belt. This avoids any artificial additional resistance which would otherwise arise from the spraying of water onto the surfaces of the belt.
- the said directional component which is generated with or in the water sprayed onto the strip, optimizes the movement or guidance of the strip in the direction of the reel mandrel.
- a transport fluid can be directed onto the belt within the guide shaft. It is useful here that this transport fluid has a directional component in the direction of the reel mandrel, which promotes the movement of the strip in the direction of the reel mandrel becomes.
- This transport fluid can be compressed air and / or water under pressure. In any case, this transport fluid has the advantage that the strip is transported within the guide shaft in the direction of the reel mandrel with reduced frictional contacts that would otherwise arise with the boundary areas of the guide shaft.
- the transport fluid is preferably applied or sprayed onto the surfaces thereof from both sides of the belt.
- the water in the area of the belt switch and / or the transport fluid within the guide shaft are discharged as soon as the tape head of the tape is a predetermined distance from a driver device that is arranged upstream of the belt switch in the transport direction of the belt and comes into contact therewith for driving the belt in the transport direction, falls below upstream thereof.
- the spraying of water under pressure in the area of the belt switch and / or the application of the transport fluid to the belt within the guide shaft is started shortly before the head of the moving belt reaches the driver device.
- This "timing" in relation to the start of the application of the water under pressure or the transport fluid is implemented by defining the predetermined distance upstream of the driving device and can be monitored with the aid of a sensor which is arranged at the location of this predetermined distance. As soon as the head of the moving belt passes the sensor, a corresponding control signal is generated by the sensor and the application of the water under pressure in the area of the belt switch or the transport fluid within the guide shaft is initiated. It is accordingly ensured that the desired influencing or deflection of the direction of the tape actually starts immediately when the tape head of the tape reaches the tape switch.
- the invention also provides a device for winding a metallic strip, in particular a steel strip, and comprises a reel mandrel for winding the band, a guide shaft which is arranged upstream of the reel mandrel, as seen in the transport direction of the band, a band switch, by means of which the strip is introduced into the guide shaft, at least one nozzle or row of nozzles arranged in the area of the strip switch, through which water can be applied to the strip under pressure, and a control device, by means of which the application of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can be controlled or regulated. At least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water can be sprayed onto the belt under pressure.
- the control device is programmed in such a way that in the area of the strip switch the water is only applied under pressure to the strip until the strip with its strip head hits the reel mandrel with at least one turn, preferably with at least two turns, more preferably with up to three Turns has been wound.
- the aforementioned device can have a first sensor which is arranged at a predetermined distance upstream of the driver device and is in signal connection with the control device.
- the above-mentioned device can have a second sensor which is arranged adjacent to the reel mandrel and is in signal connection with the control device.
- a signal from the second sensor it is possible to detect at what point in time the tape has been wound on the reel mandrel, to what extent or with what number of turns, in order, depending on this, to dispense or spray water onto the tape in the area turn off the belt switch.
- the device according to the invention leads to the advantage of improved energy efficiency with regard to the spraying of water under pressure onto the belt in the area of the belt switch.
- the spraying of water onto the tape is carried out only at the beginning of the winding process when the tape head of the tape is moved past the strip switch for the first time, this ejection being stopped as soon as the strip has been wound on the reel mandrel with at least one turn, preferably with up to three turns.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufwickeln eines metallischen Bandes nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bzw. von Anspruch 3, und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 11.The invention relates to a method for winding a metallic strip according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 3, and a corresponding device according to the preamble of
Zur Vorbereitung eines Transports von Stahlbändern sind nach dem Stand der Technik Haspelvorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen ein jeweiliges Band von einer Treibereinrichtung bis zu einem um eine Achse drehbar gelagerten Haspeldorn geführt und anschließend auf den Haspeldorn aufgewickelt wird. Zwischen der Treibereinrichtung und dem Haspeldorn befindet sich ein Führungsschacht, der von dem aufzuwickelnden Band durchlaufen wird. Angrenzend zu einer Öffnung des Führungsschachts ist eine Bandweiche angeordnet, mit der das Band eine Richtungsänderung erfährt und damit in den Führungsschacht hineingeleitet wird.In order to prepare for the transport of steel strips, reel devices are known in the prior art, in which a respective band is guided from a driver device to a reel mandrel rotatably mounted about an axis and is then wound onto the reel mandrel. Between the driver device and the reel mandrel there is a guide shaft through which the tape to be wound is traversed. A belt switch is arranged adjacent to an opening in the guide shaft, with which the belt experiences a change in direction and is thus guided into the guide shaft.
Nach dem Stand der Technik ist aus
Bei dem vorstehend genannten Stand der Technik trifft der Kopf eines aufzuwickelnden Bandes nach dem Passieren der Treibereinrichtung mit einem relativ hohen Impuls, bedingt durch die Geschwindigkeit und die Steifigkeit des Bandes, gegen die Bandweiche oder andere Bauteile, die in der Transportrichtung des Bandes gesehen nach bzw. stromabwärts der Bandweiche angeordnet sind. Die mechanische Führung bzw. Umleitung des Bandes, die im Wesentlichen durch einen Kontakt mit der Bandweiche erfolgt, führt in nachteiliger Weise dazu, dass ein Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem bewegten Band und den Kontaktflächen der Bandweiche besteht. Insbesondere bei dünnem Bandmaterial kann dies eine Transporthemmung verursachen, die zu einem Aufstau und ungünstiger Richtungsumlenkung des Bandmaterials führt. Dieser Nachteil besteht auch für den Fall, dass im Bereich der Bandweiche ein Fluid bzw. Wasser auf das Band gespritzt wird, dabei jedoch nicht ausreichende Kräfte auf das Band zwecks dessen Umlenkung hinein in den Führungsschacht erzeugt werden.In the above-mentioned prior art, the head of a tape to be wound hits the tape switch or other components that, viewed in the transport direction of the tape, after or after passing the driver device with a relatively high impulse, due to the speed and rigidity of the tape are arranged downstream of the belt switch. The mechanical guiding or diversion of the belt, which takes place essentially through contact with the belt switch, disadvantageously leads to a frictional resistance between the moving belt and the contact surfaces of the belt switch. In particular with thin strip material, this can cause a transport inhibition. which leads to a build-up and an unfavorable directional reversal of the strip material. This disadvantage also exists in the event that a fluid or water is sprayed onto the belt in the area of the belt switch, but insufficient forces are generated on the belt for the purpose of deflecting it into the guide shaft.

Ein Verfahren nach der vorliegenden Erfindung dient zum Aufwickeln eines metallischen Bandes, insbesondere eines Stahlbands. Dieses Verfahren sieht vor, dass das Band in einer Transportrichtung bewegt, durch eine Bandweiche in einen Führungsschacht hineingeführt und anschließend auf einen um eine Achse drehbar gelagerten Haspeldorn aufgewickelt wird. Im Bereich der Bandweiche wird ein Fluid auf das Band in Richtung des Führungsschachts aufgebracht, um das Einfädeln des Bandes in den Führungsschacht zu optimieren. Hierzu ist in der Bandweiche zumindest eine Öffnung ausgebildet ist, durch die das Wasser unter Druck auf das Band gespritzt wird. Hierbei wird als Fluid Wasser unter Druck verwendet, wobei der Wasserdruck derart eingestellt ist, dass auf das Band eine breitenspezifische Kraft zwischen 0,1 N/[mm Bandbreite] und 10 N/[mm Bandbreite] ausgeübt wird.A method according to the present invention is used for winding a metallic strip, in particular a steel strip. This method provides that the tape is moved in one transport direction, guided through a tape switch into a guide shaft and then wound onto a reel mandrel that is rotatably mounted about an axis. In the area of the belt switch, a fluid is applied to the belt in the direction of the guide shaft in order to optimize the threading of the belt into the guide shaft. For this purpose, at least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water is sprayed under pressure onto the belt. Here, water under pressure is used as the fluid, the water pressure being set such that a width-specific force between 0.1 N / [mm bandwidth] and 10 N / [mm bandwidth] is exerted on the band.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung kann für das vorstehend genannte Verfahren vorgesehen sein, dass im Bereich der Bandweiche das Wasser nur solange auf das Band aufgebracht wird, bis das Band mit seinem Bandkopf auf den Haspeldorn mit bis zu drei Windungen aufgewickelt worden ist. Gegebenenfalls kann das Spritzen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche bereits dann eingestellt werden, wenn das Band mit zumindest einer Windung, oder mit zwei Windungen, auf den Haspeldorn aufgewickelt worden ist.In an advantageous further development, it can be provided for the aforementioned method that the water only hits the belt in the area of the belt switch is applied until the tape head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns.
Ein alternatives Verfahren nach der vorliegenden Erfindung dient ebenfalls zum Aufwickeln eines metallischen Bandes. Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass das Band in einer Transportrichtung bewegt, durch eine Bandweiche in einen Führungsschacht hineingeführt und anschließend auf einen um eine Achse drehbar gelagerten Haspeldorn aufgewickelt wird, wobei im Bereich der Bandweiche ein Fluid auf das Band in Richtung des Führungsschachts aufgebracht wird.

Als Fluid wird Wasser unter Druck verwendet, wobei im Bereich der Bandweiche das Wasser nur solange auf das Band aufgebracht wird, bis das Band mit seinem Bandkopf auf den Haspeldorn mit bis zu drei Windungen aufgewickelt worden ist. Gegebenenfalls kann das Spritzen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche bereits dann eingestellt werden, wenn das Band mit zumindest einer Windung, oder mit zwei Windungen, auf den Haspeldorn aufgewickelt worden ist.An alternative method according to the present invention is also used for winding a metallic tape. It is provided that the tape is moved in one transport direction, guided into a guide shaft through a tape switch and then wound onto a reel mandrel rotatably mounted around an axis, a fluid being applied to the tape in the direction of the guide slot in the area of the tape switch. In the belt switch there is at least one opening through which the water is sprayed onto the belt under pressure. Water under pressure is used as the fluid, with the water being applied to the strip in the area of the strip switch only until the strip head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung kann für das vorstehend genannte Verfahren vorgesehen sein, dass der Wasserdruck derart eingestellt ist, dass auf das Band eine breitenspezifische Kraft zwischen 0,1 N/[mm Bandbreite] und 10 N/[mm Bandbreite] ausgeübt wird.In an advantageous further development, it can be provided for the above-mentioned method that the water pressure is set such that a width-specific force of between 0.1 N / [mm bandwidth] and 10 N / [mm bandwidth] is exerted on the band.
Der Erfindung liegt die wesentliche Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass mit Hilfe des Wassers, das im Bereich der Bandweiche auf das Band gespritzt wird und zu einer breitenspezifischen Kraft zwischen 0,1 N/[mm Bandbreite] und 10 N/[mm Bandbreite] führt, auf das Band ein Druck bzw. eine Kraft ausgeübt wird, der bzw. die ausreichend groß ist, dass damit das Band eine wirkungsvolle Richtungsumlenkung hinein in den Führungsschacht erfährt. Anders ausgedrückt, wird die Richtungsumlenkung bzw. Führung des Bandes und seines Bandkopfes im Wesentlichen allein durch das unter Druck auf das Band gespritzte Wasser erzielt. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass der mechanische Kontakt des Bandkopfes mit der Bandweiche vorteilhaft minimiert wird. Die Bandweiche bildet damit lediglich eine "Sicherheitsposition", wobei ein mechanischer Kontakt des Bandkopfes mit der Bandweiche dann tatsächlich bzw. spätestens ein Umlenken bzw. Führen des Bandes hinein in den Führungsschacht bewirkt.The invention is based on the essential knowledge that with the help of the water that is sprayed onto the belt in the area of the belt switch and leads to a width-specific force between 0.1 N / [mm belt width] and 10 N / [mm belt width] a pressure or a force is exerted on the tape which is sufficiently great that the tape is effectively deflected in direction into the guide shaft. In other words, the deflection or guidance of the tape and its tape head is achieved essentially solely by the water sprayed onto the tape under pressure. This ensures that the mechanical contact of the tape head with the tape switch is advantageously minimized. The belt switch thus only forms a "safety position", mechanical contact of the tape head with the belt switch then actually or at the latest causing the belt to be deflected or guided into the guide shaft.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass beim Aufwickeln des Bandes die Energieeffizienz in Bezug auf das Ausspritzen des Wassers, das im Bereich der Bandweiche auf das Band aufgebracht wird, dadurch optimiert wird, dass ein solches Ausbringen bzw. Spritzen von Wasser auf das Band zwecks dessen Umlenkung hinein in den Führungsschacht nur solange erfolgt, wie das Band mit seinem Bandkopf auf den Haspeldorn mit bis zu drei Windungen aufgewickelt worden ist. Gegebenenfalls kann das Spritzen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche bereits dann eingestellt werden, wenn das Band mit zumindest einer Windung, oder mit zwei Windungen, auf den Haspeldorn aufgewickelt worden ist. Anders ausgedrückt, wird spätestens ab dem Zeitpunkt, zu dem das Band auf dem Haspeldorn mit zumindest einer vollständigen Windung, oder alternativ hierzu mit zwei oder drei vollständigen Windungen, aufgewickelt worden ist, das Ausbringen bzw. Spritzen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche gestoppt bzw. eingestellt. Dies ist deshalb möglich, weil ein Nachführen des Bandes hinein in den Führungsschacht durch das bereits auf dem Haspeldorn aufgewickelte Band sichergestellt ist, so dass hierzu eine Richtungsumlenkung mittels Wasserdruck weggelassen werden kann.Another essential aspect of the present invention is that when the tape is wound up, the energy efficiency with regard to the spraying of the water that is applied to the tape in the area of the tape switch is optimized by such an application or spraying of water the tape for the purpose of deflecting it into the guide shaft only takes place as long as the tape head has been wound onto the reel mandrel with up to three turns. If necessary, the spraying of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can already be stopped when the strip has been wound onto the reel mandrel with at least one turn or with two turns. In other words, at the latest from the point in time at which the tape has been wound on the reel mandrel with at least one complete turn, or alternatively with two or three complete turns, water is applied or sprayed onto the tape in the area of the tape switch stopped or set. This is possible because tracking of the strip into the guide shaft is ensured by the strip already wound on the reel mandrel, so that for this purpose a directional change by means of water pressure can be omitted.
In Bezug auf die zumindest eine Düse bzw. Düsenreihe, aus der im Bereich der Bandweiche das Wasser unter Druck auf das Band gespritzt wird, versteht sich, dass diese Düse bzw. Düsen derart ausgebildet sind, dass damit das Wasser auf das Band über dessen vollständige Breite aufgebracht werden kann. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass auf das Band in seiner gesamten Breite durch das darauf gespritzte Wasser eine Kraft ausgeübt wird, um eine gleichmäßige Richtungsänderung bzw. -umkehrung in Richtung des Führungsschachts zu erzielen.With regard to the at least one nozzle or row of nozzles, from which the water is sprayed under pressure onto the belt in the area of the belt switch, it goes without saying that this nozzle or nozzles are designed in such a way that the water is applied to the belt over its entire length Width can be applied. This ensures that a force is exerted on the belt over its entire width by the water sprayed on it, in order to achieve a uniform change in direction or reversal in the direction of the guide shaft.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Wasser unter Druck auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche durch zumindest eine Düse oder eine Düsenreihe ausgebracht wird, die in der Transportrichtung des Bandes gesehen stromaufwärts von einem Drehpunkt der Bandweiche angeordnet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise kann eine solche Düse bzw. Düsenreihe in der Transportrichtung des Bandes gesehen auch stromaufwärts einer Spitze der Bandweiche angeordnet sein. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass der Bandkopf eines aufzuwickelnden Bandes nach dem Passieren einer Treibereinrichtung, die in der Transportrichtung des Bandes gesehen stromaufwärts der Bandweiche angeordnet ist, bereits vor einem Kontakt mit der Bandweiche durch das ausgespritzte Wasser eine Kraft bzw. Führung in Richtung des Führungsschachtes erfährt, und dadurch der mechanische Kontakt zur Bandweiche entweder minimiert wird oder gar nicht stattfindet.In an advantageous development of the invention, it can be provided that the water under pressure is applied to the belt in the area of the belt switch through at least one nozzle or a row of nozzles is deployed which, viewed in the direction of transport of the belt, is arranged upstream of a pivot point of the belt switch. Appropriately, such a nozzle or row of nozzles can also be arranged upstream of a tip of the belt switch, viewed in the direction of transport of the belt. This ensures that the tape head of a tape to be wound, after passing a driver device, which is located upstream of the tape switch in the transport direction of the tape, already experiences a force or guidance in the direction of the guide shaft before contact with the tape switch by the sprayed water , and thereby the mechanical contact with the belt switch is either minimized or does not take place at all.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass in der Bandweiche zumindest eine Öffnung ausgebildet ist, durch die das Wasser unter Druck auf das Band gespritzt wird. Zweckmäßigerweise kann eine solche Öffnung in Form einer Schlitzöffnung ausgebildet sein und sich über die Breite der Bandweiche erstrecken. Eine solche integrierte Ausbildung der Öffnung in der Bandweiche führt zu dem Vorteil eines verminderten Bauraums in Bezug auf die für das Ausspritzen des Wassers erforderliche Düsentechnik und zu einer Verminderung der beteiligten Bauteile, was Kosteneinsparungen ermöglicht.According to the invention it is provided that at least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water is sprayed onto the belt under pressure. Appropriately, such an opening can be designed in the form of a slot opening and extend over the width of the belt switch. Such an integrated design of the opening in the belt switch leads to the advantage of reduced installation space with regard to the nozzle technology required for spraying out the water and to a reduction in the number of components involved, which enables cost savings.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann das Wasser derart unter Druck auf das Band gespritzt werden, dass es eine Richtungskomponente in der Transportrichtung des Bandes aufweist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass ein künstlicher zusätzlicher Widerstand, der ansonsten durch das Aufspritzen von Wasser auf die Oberflächen des Bandes entstehen würde, vermieden wird. Anders ausgedrückt, wird durch die besagte Richtungskomponente, die mit bzw. in dem auf das Band ausgespritzten Wasser erzeugt wird, die Bewegung bzw. Führung des Bandes in Richtung des Haspeldorns optimiert.In an advantageous development of the invention, the water can be sprayed onto the belt under pressure in such a way that it has a directional component in the direction of transport of the belt. This avoids any artificial additional resistance which would otherwise arise from the spraying of water onto the surfaces of the belt. In other words, the said directional component, which is generated with or in the water sprayed onto the strip, optimizes the movement or guidance of the strip in the direction of the reel mandrel.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann innerhalb des Führungsschachts ein Transportfluid auf das Band gerichtet werden. Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, dass dieses Transportfluid eine Richtungskomponente in Richtung des Haspeldorns aufweist, wodurch die Bewegung des Bandes in Richtung des Haspeldorns gefördert wird. Bei diesem Transportfluid kann es sich um Druckluft und/oder um Wasser unter Druck handeln. Jedenfalls wird durch dieses Transportfluid der Vorteil erreicht, dass das Band innerhalb des Führungsschachtes mit verringerten Reibungskontakten, die ansonsten mit den Begrenzungsbereichen des Führungsschachtes entstehen, in Richtung des Haspeldorns transportiert wird. Vorzugsweise wird das Transportfluid von beiden Seiten des Bandes her auf die Oberflächen davon ausgebracht bzw. gespritzt.In an advantageous further development of the invention, a transport fluid can be directed onto the belt within the guide shaft. It is useful here that this transport fluid has a directional component in the direction of the reel mandrel, which promotes the movement of the strip in the direction of the reel mandrel becomes. This transport fluid can be compressed air and / or water under pressure. In any case, this transport fluid has the advantage that the strip is transported within the guide shaft in the direction of the reel mandrel with reduced frictional contacts that would otherwise arise with the boundary areas of the guide shaft. The transport fluid is preferably applied or sprayed onto the surfaces thereof from both sides of the belt.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Wasser im Bereich der Bandweiche und/oder das Transportfluid innerhalb des Führungsschachts ausgebracht werden, sobald der Bandkopf des Bandes einen vorbestimmten Abstand zu einer Treibereinrichtung, die in der Transportrichtung des Bandes stromaufwärts der Bandweiche angeordnet ist und zum Antreiben des Bandes in der Transportrichtung in Kontakt damit gelangt, stromaufwärts hiervon unterschreitet. Anders ausgedrückt, wird das Ausspritzen von Wasser unter Druck im Bereich der Bandweiche und/oder das Aufbringen des Transportfluids auf das Band innerhalb des Führungsschachtes dann gestartet, kurz bevor der Bandkopf des bewegten Bandes die Treibereinrichtung erreicht. Dieses "Timing" in Bezug auf den Beginn des Ausbringens des Wassers unter Druck bzw. des Transportfluids wird durch die Festlegung des vorbestimmten Abstands stromaufwärts der Treibereinrichtung realisiert und kann mithilfe eines Sensors überwacht werden, der an der Stelle dieses vorbestimmten Abstands angeordnet ist. Sobald der Bandkopf des bewegten Bandes an den Sensor vorbeitritt, wird durch den Sensor ein entsprechendes Steuersignal erzeugt und damit das Ausbringen des Wassers unter Druck im Bereich der Bandweiche bzw. des Transportfluids innerhalb des Führungsschachts eingeleitet. Entsprechend ist damit sichergestellt, dass die gewünschte Richtungsbeeinflussung bzw. -umlenkung des Bandes tatsächlich umgehend einsetzt, wenn der Bandkopf des Bandes die Bandweiche erreicht.In an advantageous development of the invention, it can be provided that the water in the area of the belt switch and / or the transport fluid within the guide shaft are discharged as soon as the tape head of the tape is a predetermined distance from a driver device that is arranged upstream of the belt switch in the transport direction of the belt and comes into contact therewith for driving the belt in the transport direction, falls below upstream thereof. In other words, the spraying of water under pressure in the area of the belt switch and / or the application of the transport fluid to the belt within the guide shaft is started shortly before the head of the moving belt reaches the driver device. This "timing" in relation to the start of the application of the water under pressure or the transport fluid is implemented by defining the predetermined distance upstream of the driving device and can be monitored with the aid of a sensor which is arranged at the location of this predetermined distance. As soon as the head of the moving belt passes the sensor, a corresponding control signal is generated by the sensor and the application of the water under pressure in the area of the belt switch or the transport fluid within the guide shaft is initiated. It is accordingly ensured that the desired influencing or deflection of the direction of the tape actually starts immediately when the tape head of the tape reaches the tape switch.
Die Erfindung sieht ebenfalls eine Vorrichtung zum Aufwickeln eines metallischen Bandes, insbesondere eines Stahlbands, vor und umfasst einen Haspeldorn zum Aufwickeln des Bandes, einen Führungsschacht, der in Transportrichtung des Bandes gesehen stromaufwärts des Haspeldorns angeordnet ist, eine Bandweiche, mittels der ein Hineinführen des Bandes in den Führungsschacht erfolgt, zumindest eine im Bereich der Bandweiche angeordnete Düse oder Düsenreihe, durch die Wasser unter Druck auf das Band ausbringbar ist, und eine Steuereinrichtung, mittels der das Ausbringen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche gesteuert bzw. geregelt werden kann. In der Bandweiche ist zumindest eine Öffnung ausgebildet ist, durch die das Wasser unter Druck auf das Band gespritzt werden kann. Die Steuereinrichtung ist programmtechnisch derart eingerichtet, dass im Bereich der Bandweiche das Wasser unter Druck nur solange auf das Band ausgebracht wird, bis das Band mit seinem Bandkopf auf den Haspeldorn mit zumindest einer Windung, vorzugsweise mit zumindest zwei Windungen, weiter vorzugsweise mit bis zu drei Windungen aufgewickelt worden ist.The invention also provides a device for winding a metallic strip, in particular a steel strip, and comprises a reel mandrel for winding the band, a guide shaft which is arranged upstream of the reel mandrel, as seen in the transport direction of the band, a band switch, by means of which the strip is introduced into the guide shaft, at least one nozzle or row of nozzles arranged in the area of the strip switch, through which water can be applied to the strip under pressure, and a control device, by means of which the application of water onto the strip in the area of the strip switch can be controlled or regulated. At least one opening is formed in the belt switch through which the water can be sprayed onto the belt under pressure. The control device is programmed in such a way that in the area of the strip switch the water is only applied under pressure to the strip until the strip with its strip head hits the reel mandrel with at least one turn, preferably with at least two turns, more preferably with up to three Turns has been wound.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die vorstehend genannte Vorrichtung einen ersten Sensor aufweisen, der in einem vorbestimmten Abstand stromaufwärts der Treibereinrichtung angeordnet ist und mit der Steuereinrichtung signaltechnisch in Verbindung steht. Mittels dieses ersten Sensors ist es möglich zu erkennen, wann der Bandkopf des Bandes im Bereich der Bandweiche eintrifft, um dann in Abhängigkeit hiervon das Ausbringen von Wasser auf das Band entsprechend zu steuern.In an advantageous further development of the invention, the aforementioned device can have a first sensor which is arranged at a predetermined distance upstream of the driver device and is in signal connection with the control device. By means of this first sensor it is possible to recognize when the tape head of the tape arrives in the area of the tape switch in order to then control the application of water on the tape as a function thereof.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die vorstehend genannte Vorrichtung einen zweiten Sensor aufweisen, der angrenzend zum Haspeldorn angeordnet ist und mit der Steuereinrichtung signaltechnisch in Verbindung steht. Durch ein Signal des zweiten Sensors ist es möglich zu detektieren, zu welchem Zeitpunkt das Band in welchem Maß bzw. mit welcher Anzahl von Windungen auf dem Haspeldorn aufgewickelt worden ist, um in Abhängigkeit hiervon das Ausbringen bzw. Ausspritzen von Wasser auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche abzustellen.In an advantageous development of the invention, the above-mentioned device can have a second sensor which is arranged adjacent to the reel mandrel and is in signal connection with the control device. By means of a signal from the second sensor, it is possible to detect at what point in time the tape has been wound on the reel mandrel, to what extent or with what number of turns, in order, depending on this, to dispense or spray water onto the tape in the area turn off the belt switch.
In gleicher Weise wie bereits zu dem entsprechenden obigen Verfahren erläutert, führt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zu dem Vorteil einer verbesserten Energieeffizienz in Bezug auf das Ausspritzen von Wasser unter Druck auf das Band im Bereich der Bandweiche. Das Ausspritzen von Wasser auf das Band wird nämlich nur zu Beginn des Wickelvorgangs durchgeführt, wenn der Bandkopf des Bandes erstmalig an der Bandweiche vorbeibewegt wird, wobei dieses Ausspritzen gestoppt wird, sobald das Band auf dem Haspeldorn mit zumindest einer Windung, vorzugsweise mit bis zu drei Windungen aufgewickelt worden ist.In the same way as already explained for the corresponding above method, the device according to the invention leads to the advantage of improved energy efficiency with regard to the spraying of water under pressure onto the belt in the area of the belt switch. The spraying of water onto the tape is carried out only at the beginning of the winding process when the tape head of the tape is moved past the strip switch for the first time, this ejection being stopped as soon as the strip has been wound on the reel mandrel with at least one turn, preferably with up to three turns.
Nachstehend ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand einer schematisch vereinfachten Zeichnung im Detail beschrieben. Die hierzu gehörende
Die Vorrichtung 10 erfüllt die Funktion einer Haspeleinrichtung und dient dazu, ein metallisches Band 11, welches in einer Transportrichtung T bewegt bzw. gefördert wird, aufzuwickeln. Hierzu umfasst die Vorrichtung 10 einen Haspeldorn 12, der um eine Achse 13 drehbar gelagert ist, wobei das Band 11 in Richtung des Haspeldorns 12 bewegt wird. Des Weiteren umfasst die Vorrichtung 10 einen Führungsschacht 14 und eine Bandweiche15, die - in der Transportrichtung T des Bandes 11 gesehen - stromaufwärts des Führungsschachtes 14 angeordnet ist. Die Bandweiche 15 ist um einen stationären Drehpunkt 16 gelagert, und kann entsprechend um diesen Drehpunkt 16 verschwenkt werden.The device 10 fulfills the function of a reel device and serves to wind up a
Im Bereich der Bandweiche 15 sind Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen 18 vorgesehen, die jeweils - in der Transportrichtung T des Bandes 11 gesehen - stromaufwärts von dem Drehpunkt 16 der Bandweiche 15 angeordnet sind. Diese Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen 18 können in Form von separaten Düsen ausgebildet sein, und/oder in Form von zumindest einer Öffnung vorgesehen sein, die als Schlitzdüse in einer Fläche an der Unterseite der Bandweiche 15, die dem Band 11 zugewandt ist, ausgebildet ist. Die zumindest eine Düse bzw. Düsenreihe 18 dient dazu, Wasser unter Druck auf das Band 11 zu spritzen, was nachfolgend noch gesondert erläutert ist.In the area of the

Die Vorrichtung 10 umfasst eine Treibereinrichtung 19, die - in der Transportrichtung T des Bandes 11 gesehen ist - stromaufwärts der Bandweiche 15 angeordnet ist. Die Treibereinrichtung 19 weist zumindest eine angetriebene Walze auf, die bei ihrer Rotation in Kontakt mit dem Band 11 gelangt und dieses damit in die Transportrichtung T bewegt bzw. fördert.The device 10 comprises a
Der Führungsschacht 14 wird gebildet aus einem Leittisch 20 und einer gegenüberliegend hierzu angeordneten Schachtklappe 21. An einem Ende der Schachtklappe 21, angrenzend zum Haspeldorn 12, ist eine Schachtklappenrolle 22 vorgesehen, mit der eine Führung des Bandes 11 zum Haspeldorn 12 sichergestellt ist.The
Innerhalb des Führungsschachts 14 sind weitere Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen vorgesehen, nämlich Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen 23a, die auf eine Unterseite des Bands 11 gerichtet sind, und Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen 23b, die auf eine Oberseite des Bands 11 gerichtet sind. Durch diese Düsen bzw. Düsenreihen 23a, 23b wird während des Aufwickelns des Bands 11 auf dem Haspeldorn 12 ein Transportfluid auf die Oberflächen des Bands 11 ausgebracht, was nachstehend noch gesondert erläutert ist.Further nozzles or rows of nozzles are provided within the
Um den Umfang des Haspeldorns 12 herum sind mehrere Wickelrollen mit zugeordneten Umlenkschilden, die ein Aufwickeln des Bands 11 auf dem Haspeldorn 12 gewährleisten, wenn ein Bandkopf 11K nach einem Hindurchtreten durch den Führungsschacht 14 den Haspeldorn 12 erreicht. Im Einzelnen sind dies die Wickelrollen 24, 26 und 28, mit den jeweils zugeordneten Umlenkschilden 25, 27 und 29.Around the circumference of the

Die Erfindung funktioniert nun wie folgt:
Das Band 11, welches mittels der Vorrichtung 10 auf deren Haspeldorn 12 aufzuwickeln ist, erreicht die Treibereinrichtung 19 - bezogen auf die Darstellung von
The
Sobald ein Bandkopf 11K des Bandes 11 den ersten Sensor 32 passiert hat, wird ein entsprechendes Signal an die Steuereinrichtung 30 übermittelt, wobei anschließend mittels der Steuereinrichtung 30 ein Ausspritzen von Wasser unter Druck durch die Düsenreihen 18 in Richtung des Führungsschachts 14 in Gang gesetzt bzw. eingeleitet wird. In Folge dessen wird das Band 11, wenn dessen Bandkopf 11K die Düsenreihen 18 erreicht, unmittelbar bzw. sofort von seiner Oberseite her mit dem Wasserdruck beaufschlagt. Der Druck für das aus den Düsenreihen 18 ausgespritzte Wasser ist derart gewählt, dass auf das Band 11 eine breitenspezifische Kraft ausgeübt wird, die zwischen 0,1 N/[mm Bandbreite] und 10 N/[mm Bandbreite] liegt, je nach Beschaffenheit und Dicke des Bands 11. Jedenfalls ist der Druck für das durch die Düsenreihe(n) 18 ausgespritzte Wasser und die daraus resultierende breitenspezifische Kraft, die auf das Band 11 wirkt, ausreichend hoch gewählt, dass mit dieser Kraft das Band 11 in Richtung des Führungsschachts 14 umgelenkt wird. Bei einer solchen Umlenkung bzw. Richtungsänderung für das Band 11 wird das Ziel verfolgt, dass ein mechanischer Kontakt zwischen dem Bandkopf 11K und der Bandweiche 15 zumindest minimiert wird oder gar nicht mehr stattfindet. Letzterenfalls bedeutet dies, dass ein Führen bzw. Umlenken des Bandkopfes 11K des Bandes 11 hinein in den Führungsschacht 14 allein durch die Kraft des durch die Düsenreihe(n) 18 ausgespritzten Wassers erfolgt.As soon as a
In der
Nachdem das Band 11 mit seinem Bandkopf 11K in den Führungsschacht 14 eingetreten ist, wird die Führung des Bands 11 durch den Führungsschacht 14 hindurch in Richtung des Haspeldorns 12 mittels des Transportfluids unterstützt, welches aus den Düsenreihen 23a, 23b von beiden Seiten her auf die Oberflächen des Bands 11 gerichtet wird. Bei dem Transportfluid kann es sich um Druckluft und/oder um Wasser unter Druck handeln.After the

Die Anzahl der Windungen, mit denen das Band 11 auf den Haspeldorn 12 aufgewickelt worden ist, kann mithilfe des Sensors 34 detektiert werden.The number of turns with which the
Sobald mittels des Sensors 34 detektiert wird, dass das Band 11 auf dem Haspeldorn 12 mit bis zu drei vollständigen Windungen, oder ggf. bereits mit einer Windung oder mit zwei Windungen, aufgewickelt worden ist, wird ein entsprechendes Signal von den Sensor 34 an die Steuereinrichtung 30 ausgegeben, wonach dann von der Steuereinrichtung 30 die Wasserzufuhr an die Düsenreihe(n) 18 gestoppt wird. Dies hat zur Folge, dass dann ein weiteres Aufwickeln des Bandes 11 auf den Haspeldorn 12 durchgeführt wird, ohne dass dabei Wasser unter Druck im Bereich der Bandweiche 15 auf das Band 11 gespritzt wird. Dies führt zu einer Einsparung von druckbeaufschlagtem Wasser und damit vorteilhaft zu verminderten Kosten beim Aufwickeln des Bandes 11.As soon as it is detected by means of the
