Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for winding and/or unwinding a film at a constant speed. It applies particularly, but not exclusively, to a film in an optoelectronic apparatus such as a scanning analyzer.
  • Films are usually wound or unwound with the aid of a spool or reel driven by a motor.
  • the film in the unwound state, the film is of an arched shape. This means that to wind the film onto a cylindrical surface requires a not insignificant resistive effort in order to flatten the film against the cylindrical surface of the spool. This tension therefore creates a risk of damage to the film. Moreover, as soon as the resistive force is removed, any film wound on the spool tends to bulge and work itself loose from the reel with all the inconveniences which this implies;
  • the film drive must be uniform across its entire width and must produce a constant speed of advance independently of the thickness of film currently wound on the reel. This result is found to be unobtainable using cylindrical motor-driven reels unless complicated and costly arrangements are used (varying the spool drive speed as a function of the wound thickness);
  • the invention provides a device comprising:
  • a reel comprising two coaxial annular support areas, of equal diameter, which are separated from each other by a concavity and which are spaced out from one another by a distance that is slightly smaller than the width of the film, these two support areas pivoting freely,
  • guide means which are designed so as to guide the film laterally in order to wind it onto the reel such that the lateral edges of the film bear on the two respective support areas of the reel, and
  • the support areas may be connected to each other or else may be independent of each other in rotation.
  • said belts driven by a motor, carry the film forward with a constant linear speed and wind the film onto the reel independently of the wound thickness.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation showing the locations of the various component parts of the device for guiding, driving and winding a film
  • FIG. 2 shows the cross section marked AA in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of FIG. 1.
  • the structure of the device comprises two parallel metal plates 1 a , 1 b separated by three spacers 2 a , 2 b , 2 c arranged along the top side of the plates. These various parts form a rigid unit forming the device for guiding, driving and winding the film 3 .
  • the distance between the two metal plates 1 a , 1 b is slightly greater than the width of the film 3 to be analyzed.
  • the device comprises film guiding, driving and winding means.
  • the film 3 guiding device comprises in an imaging zone two parallel coaxial spools 4 a , 4 b (of which only spool 4 a is shown) mounted rotatably via ball bearings and held in position by a pair of flat opposing elements 5 a , 5 b , 6 a , 6 b (of which only flat opposing elements 5 a and 6 a are shown).
  • Each lateral edge of the film 3 comes into contact with a respective one of these two spools around an arc of a circle in such a way that the film follows a circular path.
  • its shape is cylindrical, with a straight generatrix.
  • This position produces in the imaging area a straight transverse area, directly in front of which is a slit in a wall 7 connected to the two plates, forming a rectangular space through which the light rays passing through the film can travel.
  • the film 3 driving device comprises two belts 8 a , 8 b (of which only belt 8 a is shown) which move in a synchronized manner and which each bear on a respective lateral edge of the film 3 along the arc of the circular path. This gives a friction drive of the two lateral edges of the film which eliminates any possibility of a variation of speed between these two edges.
  • the two belts 8 a , 8 b have teeth on the non-film 3 side, the belts being driven by means of two coaxial sprockets 9 a and 9 b mounted on a spindle 10 and driven by an electric motor 11 , as well by idle sprockets (of which only sprocket 12 a is shown).
  • the two belts 8 a , 8 b are tensioned and positioned by two sets of spools, of which only set 13 a , 13 b , 13 c is shown.
  • the film 3 winding device consists of a necked reel 14 comprising an axisymetric concave form situated between its two ends.
  • the necked reel 14 is mounted rotatably on a spindle 15 parallel to the spindle of the spools 4 a , 4 b with a spring return.
  • This spindle is guided in such a way that it is able to move along an oblong drilling 16 according to the thickness of film 3 wound on the necked reel 14 .
  • the main axis of the oblong drilling 16 runs perpendicular to the tangential plane of application of the belts to the edges of the film (the force of application being colinear with the main axis of the oblong hole 16 ).
  • Two pairs of arms 17 a , 17 b , 18 a , 18 b guide the film around the necked reel 14 .
  • the arms 17 a , 17 b (of which only arm 17 a is shown) pivot on the axis O and are designed to press on the lateral edges of the film 3 , this independently of how much film 3 is wound onto the necked reel 14 .
  • the volume of the wound part of the film therefore varies as a function of the length of film wound onto the necked reel.
  • the arms 18 a , 18 b (of which only arm 18 a is shown) are for guiding the film 3 during its insertion or removal.
