.INVENTOR. John F. Rocket? Jr.
BY%LM ATTORNEY United States PatentfO ROTATION RETARDING DEVICE FOR A REEL I CARRYING SHAFT John F. Rockett, Jr., Medford, Mass, assignor to Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., Salem, Mass, a corporation of New York, doing business under the name of Hytron Radio & Electronics Co., a division Application July 5, 1952, Serial No. 297,215 3 Claims. (Cl. 188-164) This invention relates in general to devices for the control of shaft rotation and in particular to the control of tension on products wound on such a shaft.
Automatic machinery for handling wire, cable, paper, film, or other products which are dispensed or collected on reels often requires that the wire or other material be subject to a prescribed tension. In the electronic arts, especially in the manufacture of tubes where wire of very small diameter is generally used, the tension on a wire being wound or processed to form tube elements must be held very closely to insure uniformity of output. Furthermore, when it is desired to form tube elements having different characteristics, it is often necessary to vary the tension placed on the wire. A device which is capable of placing any desired amount of tension on a wire and holding that amount within narrow limits has long been recognized as a definite need by the tube industry.
Considerable efiort has been expended to overcome the tension problem. The usual approach has been to brake the shaft supporting the reels in some fashion or to exert lateral force against the wire. Much of the efforthas been directed along mechanical lines and several reasonably adequate devices have been developed. The mechanical devices for the most part depended upon suitably chosen weights bearing on pivoted reels which contain the wire, or alternatively, the wire was passed over spring-loaded pulleys. These devices were unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons. After a certain amount of use, they became unreliable because of fatigue of the spring members or because of friction built up in worn bearing surfaces. Too, they lacked flexibility when it became necessary to vary the tension being applied to the .wire, much dismantling being required to shift weights and change pulleys.
Some eifort has also been made to develop suitable electrical tension devices, the most common device being a small A. C. motor to which direct current is applied. By mounting a reel of wire to be held under tension on the motor shaft and applying a direct current to the motor, the motor tends to resist rotation at each set of poles producing a substantial amount of tension on the wire. Some disadvantages attendant upon use of this system are, first, the relatively great expense of power supplies to provide the desired direct current and, second, due to the high currents built up, the motor windings have a relatively short life compared to that which would be had in normal operation. Perhaps the greatest objection to the system is the fact that pulsations occur as each set of poles passes through the area of strongest field. These pulsations destroy the uniformity of the tension applied to the wire.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a simple inexpensive braking device for use on rotating members.
It is another object to provide a device for use on reels or spools of wire or other material which is to be placed under tension.
His a further. object ofthe present invention to providev a tension device which is capable of maintaining either steady state or dynamic control over uniform amounts of tension being applied to a wire.
It is a still further object to provide a device which consumes little power and requires no special power supply, other than conventional line voltage.
In general, the invention consists in an E-shaped core member on which a suitable coil is wound about the center leg. The coil is energized from either alternating or direct current sources. A steel shaft, rotatably mounted, completes the flux path across the open side of the E- shaped core and extends beyond the core. This shaft is displaced slightly from the core and carries a reel on its extension. Parallel to the shaft are two other steel members which extend from one outer leg of the E to the other. A rheostat is provided to vary the amount of voltage applied to the coil and hence the flux density. By varying the rheostat either manually or automatically, fine control of the variation of the resistance to rotation of the shaft is elfected. Rough control is obtained by an adjustable friction drag on the shaft. .For a better understanding of the invention, together with other and further objects, features, and advantages, reference should be made to the following description which is to be read in' connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is aperspective view, partly cut away, of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the coil and roller assembly shown in Fig. 1 taken through the plane22.
Referring now to the drawing there is shown a container which actually holds all the units shown in the drawing but which is broken away to facilitate understanding of the invention. An E-shaped laminated iron core 12 similar to a standard choke frame is mounted in the container. On the center leg of the core, a coil 13 is wound. Voltage, which may be conventional line voltage, is supplied from terminals 14 and 15. A rheostat 16 is connected serially in the line from terminal 14 with a condenser 17 and coil 13. The purpose served by condenser 17 is explained hereinbelow.
Mounted in the container adjacent the outer legs of core 12 are ball bearings 18 and 19 having their outer races aflixed thereto. A main shaft 20 passes through the inner races of bearings 18 and 19 is atfixed thereto. Main shaft 20 is so mounted in the container that his spaced from core 12 by a matter of a few thousandths of an inch. Parallel to and contacting main shaft 20 are two auxiliary shafts 21 and 22 which are in actual contact with core. 12, shaft 21 contacting only the end legs of core 12 and shaft 22 contacting only the center leg of core 12. Thus, a flux path is defined through one end of shaft 21 to main shaft 20 to the central portion of shaft 22 to the center leg of core 12 and a second flux path is defined through the second end of shaft 21 to main shaft 20 to the central portion of shaft 22 to the center leg of core 12. Such structure of main and auxiliary shafts is not neces sary to proper operation of the device but adds a measure of smoothness of control in adjusting amounts of tension and inhibits possible overheating of the device.
The other end of main shaft 20 extends beyond the container and carries a reel 29 which is keyed to shaft Patented Jan. 15, 1957 2 and rotatable therewith. Reel 29 carries a quantity of wire which is to be held under tension.
In operation, wire is drawn from reel 29 by any desired method. The-amount of tension to be placed on the wire is then determined by the amount of resistance to rotation exhibited by reel 29. Since reel 29 is fixed to shaft 20, the resistance of shaft to rotation is determinative of the tension on the wire.
Where it is desired to change the range of the fine tension control provided by adjustment of rheostat 16, thumb screw 27 may be turned to cause drag 24 to bear more lightly or heavily on the enlarged portion 25 of main shaft 20.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that automatic means such as a servo system could easily be added to the invention as shown and described to provide automatic maintenance of tension within any reasonable predetermined limits. It is also obvious that the principles disclosed are applicable to any braking device wherein it is desired to limit or control the speed of rotation of a shaft.
For example, in the manufacture of textiles or paper, the product isv carried on spools which in turn are shaft supported. Braking of the shaft is these instances using the concepts of the present invention could be accomplished by mere mechanical skill.
The invention should not be limited to the exact details disclosed but only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
