BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portal type automatic aligning and winding apparatus for automatically aligning and winding a wire while traversing a drum on which the wire is wound.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There have been developed various automatic aligning and winding apparatuses for automatically winding a fed wire rod in a tightly wound alignment state around a drum. In this automatic aligning and winding device, the drum side on which the cable is wound is fixed without moving to the left and right, and the side from which the cable is sent is moved to the left and right by the width of the drum. There is known a cable traverse type which has a configuration in which is automatically aligned and wound. Conversely, this automatic aligning and winding device has a gantry-type drum traverse system that always sends the cable from a fixed position and moves the drum side to the left and right along the guide rail by the winding width of the cable. Are known. That is, the conventional drum traverse system generally has a simple configuration in which the drum is simply slid mechanically at a constant speed.

[0003]

However, in such a drum traverse method, when the cable is wound, a calculated drum position that theoretically determines a winding point of the cable and an actual drum position are determined. There is a case where the winding write position of the cable does not match well, the results or a gap between the neighboring cable, to cause inconvenience such as would be wound around and layered on one reel before the cable There is. Also, with such a configuration, even if a turbulent state occurs, it is impossible to automatically correct the turbulent state, and the generated turbulent part remains as it is. There is also a possibility that the upper part may newly cause turbulence. Therefore, this invention is Rutotomoni can in accordance with the position where the cable on the drum actually wound appropriately controlling the lateral position location of the drum, water drum when turbulent winding occurs
It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic aligning and winding device which can easily be automatically corrected by appropriately rotating in a horizontal direction, and which is convenient for automatic mounting of a drum.

[0004]

That is, the present invention comprises a traverse block having a gantry-shaped main body and a moving mechanism that moves horizontally in the horizontal direction for traverse and position adjustment. A portal type automatic aligning and winding apparatus for automatically aligning and winding a cable around a drum provided on a block, wherein the drum is mounted on the traverse block
Together are suspended by retaining constantly horizontal state, in which a rotating mechanism to modify the turbulent winding generated in the drum by the rotation movement <br/> operation in the horizontal direction of the drum provided in the traverse blocks .

[0005]

In the present invention, the winding section of the wire wound on the drum is sequentially imaged by the imaging section, and the control section determines from the captured image whether or not the wires are aligned by predetermined image processing. When it is determined that the turbulent state has occurred, the rotating mechanism and / or the moving mechanism are controlled by a control signal from the control unit to automatically correct the rotating operation and / or the moving operation of the drum in a direction to correct the turbulent winding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a portal type automatic aligning and winding apparatus according to the present invention. The portal type automatic aligning and winding apparatus includes a main body 1, an imaging camera 2, a control unit 3, a rotating mechanism 4, , A moving mechanism 5 and a drum traverse method for moving the drum 6 left and right. The main body 1 includes a pair of left and right legs 11 as shown in FIG. 2, and a ball screw 12 and a slide shaft 13 (see FIG. 3) which constitute a part of the moving mechanism 5 provided between the legs 11. And is formed in a gantry shape. The main body 1 includes a traverse block 1 erected movably right and left over a ball screw 12 and a slide shaft 13.
4, the drum 6 is suspended in a rotatable state while maintaining a horizontal posture . Imaging camera 2, the cable 7 wound area odor near the winding point of the cable 7 to be wound on the drum 6
As are those the winding state will sequentially imaged, in this embodiment is fixed to the mounting member 15 that is installed between the pair of left and right legs 11 as shown in FIG. 4 Te. The imaging camera 2 is connected to an input of the control unit 3 in order to store the captured image and sequentially perform predetermined image processing.

The control unit 3 performs predetermined image processing on images sequentially captured by the imaging camera 2, and constantly checks whether or not the currently wound cable 7 is in an aligned state. CPU is used. That is, the control unit 3 moves and rotates the drum 6 to the set position calculated theoretically sequentially when the turbulent winding state is not generated and the winding is correctly aligned, A predetermined signal is output to the rotating mechanism 4 and the moving mechanism 5. Also, this control unit 3 is one unit smaller than the current winding part.
If it is determined that turbulent winding has occurred in the winding portion before winding, the winding point of the cable 7 and the position and rotation posture of the drum 6 are set to the optimum state based on the turbulent image data. , Calculate the appropriate movement amount and rotation amount of the drum 6,
A control signal is output corresponding to this to control the rotation mechanism 4 and the movement mechanism 5. Rotation mechanism 4
Is fixed to a support 16 for rotatably supporting the drum 6.
The rotatably mounted on the traverse blocks 14 1
A gear 40 and a drive gear 41 meshing with the first gear 40
And a drive motor 42 for rotating the drive gear 41. The drum 6 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the traverse block 14 while maintaining the drum 6 in a horizontal posture .

The moving mechanism 5 is for moving the traverse block 14 for suspending and supporting the drum 6 to the left and right along the slide shaft 13, and includes a female screw portion 14A formed on one side of the traverse block 14, and the female screw portion 14A. A ball screw 12 cut with a male screw to be screwed with the female screw of
A drive motor 52 is provided for rotating and driving the ball screw 12 via babel gears 50 and 51. The moving mechanism 5 is configured to move in the left and right horizontal direction substantially in the same manner as the winding width of the drum 6 in accordance with the movement of the winding point of the cable 7 separately from the rotating operation of the rotating mechanism 4.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, for example, FIG.
In the case where there is a possibility that the gap between the cable 7A of the previous winding and the cable 7B to be currently wound is too wide to be tightly wound, the control unit 3 immediately determines this and sets a predetermined control signal. Is output to the motors 42 and 52. Thus, the first gear 40 is rotated in the clockwise direction by an amount appropriate, the traverse block 14 horizontal figure
The cable 7A is moved to the left by an appropriate amount while maintaining the force, and the cable 7A is slightly shifted to the right to prevent the cable 7A from becoming turbulent. Also, when the controller 3 detects the occurrence of the turbulent winding (for example, the sparse winding) in the already wound cable 7 near the winding point, the same applies. The direction and position of the drum 6 are corrected, and the coarsely wound portion can be corrected to a tightly wound state by the torsional force when the cable 7 is wound. In addition, the automatic aligning and winding apparatus according to the present invention may include a function of visually correcting the winding state instead of automatically rotating the drum, if necessary.

[0010]

As described above, according to the automatic aligning and winding apparatus according to the present invention, the imaging section sequentially captures the winding state of the wire on the drum, and the wire rod is subjected to predetermined image processing from the captured image. The control unit determines whether or not are aligned. If it is determined that the drum is not in the aligned state but in the turbulent state, the rotating mechanism and / or the moving mechanism are controlled by the control signal from the control unit to adjust the rotational posture and / or the moving position of the drum to the optimum state. Since a force such as a torsion force is applied to the winding wire in a direction to correct the turbulently wound wire, the turbulent winding can be automatically corrected. Thus, an automatic aligning and winding device having an automatic correcting function can be realized. Further, according to the present invention, since the drum is suspended from the traverse block, a large space can be ensured immediately below the traverse block, and operations such as drum replacement can be easily performed. .
