Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an automatic aligning and winding device for automatically aligning and winding wires while traversing a drum side around which the wires are wound.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various automatic aligning and winding devices have been developed that send out wire rods and automatically wind them on 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 or right, and the cable sending side is moved to the left or right by the width of the drum by the traverser, which causes the drum to move. A cable traverse method is known, in which the cables are automatically aligned and wound around. A known automatic traverse winding device is a drum traverse system in which the side from which the cable is sent is fixed and the drum is slid left and right to wind the cables in a tightly aligned state. That is, the conventional drum traverse system has a simple structure in which the drum is mechanically slid at a constant speed by the length corresponding to the winding width of the cable, and the position of the winding point of the drum is further increased. It has been proposed to add a turning mechanism for turning the drum according to the above.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with such a drum traverse method, when winding the cable, the theoretical drum position, which determines the winding point of the cable by calculation, and the final winding position of the actual cable match well. Without doing so, as a result, a gap may be created between the adjacent cable, and the cable may be wound and wound on the immediately preceding cable. In addition, with such a configuration, even if a turbulent winding state occurs, it is impossible to correct it, and the turbulent winding portion that has occurred remains as it is. There is also a risk that a new winding will occur. Therefore, in this invention, the left and right positions of the drum and the turning position of the drum can be appropriately controlled according to the position where the cable on the drum is actually wound up, and even when irregular winding occurs, the automatic correction is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic aligning and winding device capable of performing the above.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, the present invention is an automatic aligning and winding device for automatically aligning and winding wire rods while traversing a drum, and an image pickup unit for picking up an image of the winding state of the wire rod on the drum, and an image picked up by this image pickup unit. Control unit that sequentially checks and determines whether or not the wire rods are wound in a line around the drum, and the control unit controls the winding state of the wire rods to indicate an abnormal random winding state. If it occurs, it is provided with a turning means for turning the drum in a direction for fixing it and a moving means for moving the drum.

[0005]

[Action]

 In this invention, the winding state of the wire rod wound around the drum is sequentially captured by the image capturing unit, and the control unit determines from the captured image whether or not the wire rod is in the aligned state by the predetermined image processing, and the disorder is detected. When it is determined that the drum is in the winding state, the turning operation and / or the operation of the moving means is controlled by the control signal from the control unit to correct the turning position and / or the moving position of the drum.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an automatic aligning and winding apparatus according to the present invention. The automatic aligning and winding apparatus is of a drum traverse type, and includes an imaging camera 1, a control unit 2, a rotating mechanism 3 and a moving mechanism 4. It has and. As shown in FIG. 2, the imaging camera 1 images the winding point of the cable 6 wound around the drum 5 on the drum 5 and the area around the winding point where the cable 6 has already been wound, The capturing state is sequentially captured, and is connected to the input of the control unit 2 in order to store the captured image in the control unit 2. The control unit 2 sequentially performs a predetermined image processing on the image captured by the image capturing camera 1 and constantly confirms whether or not the winding state of the currently wound cable 6 is aligned. Yes, the CPU is being used. That is, the control unit 2 moves and rotates the drum 5 to the theoretically calculated position when the irregular winding state is not generated and the winding state is properly aligned. A predetermined control signal is output to the mobile device 4. In addition, when the control unit 2 determines that irregular winding has occurred during the previous winding, the control unit 2 should determine the winding point of the cable 6 from the image data of the irregular winding state. In other words, the optimum movement amount and turning amount of the drum 5 are calculated, and a predetermined control signal (abnormal signal) is output to the turning mechanism 3 and the moving mechanism 4 in order to move and / or turn the drum by an amount commensurate with that. Has become.

The turning mechanism 3 rotationally drives a turn table 7 to which a support 8 for rotatably supporting the drum 5 is fixed, and a gear 13 that meshes with teeth 7 A formed on the periphery of the turn table 7 to turn the turn table 7. The table 7 is turned clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the movable table 12 described later. It is composed of a motor 14 and the turning operation is controlled by a control signal from the control unit 2. The moving mechanism 4 rotationally drives a moving base 12 on which a turntable 7 is rotatably mounted and wheels 11 mounted under the floor of the moving base 12, and moves the moving base 12 on the rail 10 via the wheels 11. It is composed of a motor 15 for driving, and the movement operation is controlled by a control signal from the control unit 2.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, for example, in FIG. 3, when there is a fear that the gap between the immediately preceding cable 6A and the currently wound cable 6B is too wide, and there is a possibility that tight winding will not occur. When the control unit 2 judges this, it outputs a predetermined control signal to the motors 14 and 15. This makes it possible to prevent the turntable 7 from turning clockwise by an appropriate minute amount and at the same time prevent the movable table 12 from moving rightward by an appropriate amount by minute amount to cause irregular winding. Further, even when irregular winding (for example, rough winding) occurs in the already wound cable 6 near the winding point, when the control unit 2 detects that the irregular winding occurs, the same In this way, the direction and position of the drum 5 are corrected, and the coarse winding portion can be corrected to the close winding state by the twisting force when the cable 6 is wound.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the automatic aligning and winding device according to the present invention, the imaging unit sequentially captures the winding state of the wire on the drum, and the wire is aligned according to the predetermined image processing from the captured image. The control unit determines whether or not When it is determined that the winding state is not the aligned state but the winding state, the operation of the turning operation and / or the moving means is controlled by the control signal from the control unit to correct the turning position and / or the moving position of the drum. As a result, a force is applied to the winding wire in a direction that will correct the irregularly wound wire material, and the irregular winding can be corrected automatically. Can be provided.
