No. 32,909 Claims priority, application Japan June 3, 1959 8 Claims. (Cl. 226-113) This invention relates to a transfer mechanism and particularly to a transfer mechanism capable of changing the velocity of transfer in winding and reeling apparatus operating at uniform velocity.
The apparatus for coiling at uniform velocity such Web-like materials as aluminum foil, cellophane, foil, paper, polyethylene, cloth, etc. which are continuously fed are frequently used in the machines for manufacturing or processing these materials and particularly in rotary printing presses which print on these materials. It is very convenient to be able to inspect the material being manufactured or processed without stopping the entire machine. However, in case the travel of the web is at a high velocity, it is extremely difficult to inspect it.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a novel mechanism which is operable to temporarily reduce, or stop, the movement of a portion only of the moving web, so that this portion may be inspected without stopping the entire machine or the processing of the material. In accordance with this invention, there is provided a novel mechanism in the reel apparatus which feeds a Web-like material continuously at a uniform velocity and rolls up said material continuously at the same uniform velocity, whereby the transfer velocity of the web material rolled by rollers and forwarded by driving rollers is periodically reduced, then increased; or periodically stopped then started again, by causing two rollers or a multiple number of rollers, each two of which constitute a pair, to perform a reciprocating motion at a uniform velocity in one direction of the stroke and at a different velocity in the other direction of the stroke.
In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention; FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the invention; and FIG. 3 is a wiring diagram of the instrument.
The web, which is not shown, has a path, indicated by the dot-dash line. Starting at X, FIGURE 1, the web first passes upwardly over and in contact with roller 1, thence, still upwardly and outwardly, to and about roller 2. From 2 the web passes horizontally inwardly to and about roller 3, thence horizontally outwardly to and about roller 4, thence in a straight horizontal pass to and about roller 5. From roller the web passes horizontally inwardly to and about roller 6, thence horizontally outwardly to and about roller 7, then downwardly and inwardly to contact roller 8 at Y, fromwhence it passes 55 to a gathering roll, not shown. While the passes of the web between rollers 2, 3; 3, 4; 4, 5'; 5, 6; and 6, 7, are horizontal and thus parallel, this is for compactness and to facilitate construction, and is not a necessity. The sprockets 2., 3', 4', 5', 6 and 7 are fixed with the roller-s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively. The roller-s 2, 4, 5 and 7 are journaled in bearings carried by stationary frame 16, and rollers 3 and 6 are journaled upon respective shafts '13 and 13 by means of ball or other antifriction bearings.
Gears 11 and 11 are fixed to the respective ends of shaft 13. Likewise, gears 12 and 12' are fixed to the respective ends of shaft 13. Gears 1 1 and 12 mesh with a rack :18 fixed with the frame of the machine. Likewise, gears 11 and 12' mesh with a second rack 18 likewise fixed with the machine in parallelism with rack 18. By this construction, shafts 13 and 13, together with rollers 3 and 6 may be translated as a unit along the aforesaid racks. The sprockets 2', 3', 4, 5', 6' and 7' are interconnected for synchronous rotation by chain which is driven by sprocket 34 which is driven by the main shaft through bevel gears 31 and 32, and drive shaft 33. Sprockets 9 and 10 are spaced in the direction of travel of the web passing from roller 4 to roller 5 and are journaled for rotation on fixed vertical axes. These sprockets are connected for synchronous rotation by chain 14 whose passes are, of course, parallel with racks 18, 18'. Drive is effected by a pole change motor 37 connected to drive a variable speed drive 36, preferably of the stepless type. The output of drive 36 operates, in a manner obvious from inspection of FIGURE 1, a shaft which, in turn, is direct-connected by bevel gearing, to drive sprocket 9. The speed ratio of the motor may be, for example, 1:2. Frame 16 is provided with limit switches 38 and 39, which convert the number of poles of the motor 37 through a contactor which is not shown in the drawings. In other words, the wiring is arranged in such a way that if the r.p.m. of the motor is N when switch 38 is closed, the rpm. will be N/2 when limit switch 39 is closed. Variable speed device 36 is adjusted so that in case the r.p.m. of motor 37 is N, the speed of chain 14 will be V/2, and when the motor rotates at N/2 r.p.m., the corresponding speed of chain 14- is V/ 4. Chain 14 is provided with a pin 20 which is carried by bar '19 fixed at its ends to and extending between the movable plates 17 and 17 and forming therewith a slide.
Thus rollers 3 and 6 may be reciprocated as a unit in a plane parallel with the passes of chain 14. It is within the purview and scope of the invention to provide multiple sets of these rollers wherein each two rollers are made a pair, to effect the conversion of velocity.
In describing the operation of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 and the principle shown in FIG. 2, the diameters of rollers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the same and will be designated as r. As shown upon FIGURE 2, the vertical spacing between the axes of rollers 2, 4 and 5, 7 is 2r. The axes of rollers 4 and 5 determine a first plane. Likewise the axes of rollers 2 and 7 determine a second plane. The plane determined by the axes of rollers 3 and 6 lies midway between the aforesaid first and second planes. Thus the horizontal and parallel passes of the Web are effected, in the manner previously described. When the machine is set in motion main shaft 36 rotates to drive all rollers synchronously through chain 15. Letthe linear speed of chain 15 be V. The web of material then travels at the same linear speed and after passing roller '8, is collected upon a roller or drurn, not shown. When motor 37 is energized, chain 14 is driven 60 thereby to translate rollers 3 and 6 as a unit along racks 18, 18. As previously described the assembly comprising rollers 3, 6, shafts 13, 13, plates 17, 17 and abutment 40 are translated as a unit.
Thus, in case V=2 meter/second and S=l meter, the following values are obtained:
t =1/3 second Therefore, the belt-like material will stop its movement for one second between the rollers 4- and 5, and then moves forward for /s second, and it will repeat the alternate action of stop and movement in this manner.
Referring to FIG. 3 showing the wiring of the instrument, relay coil 3ST is constantly energized from one phase of the three-phase source St to thereby maintain closed, relay contacts 3%(1. Switch 39 is normally open, and switch 38 is normally closed. Both switches are also shown upon FIG. =1 and have been previously described. Assuming the frame including plates 17 and 17, FIG. 1, is moving to the right as seen in that figure, when abutment 40 strikes switch 39, the latter is closed toestablish a circuit through relay coil 391. Energization of coil 391" closes relay contacts 39C to thereby reverse the direction of rotation of motor 37 at increased speed. At the same time relay contacts 39 are closed to establish a holding circuit for coil 39T so that, despite opening of switch 39, the coil remains energized during travel of the frame to the left as viewed upon FIG. 1. As the frame moves into its leftward limiting position and abutment 44) engages switch 33, the latter is momentarily opened thus breaking the holding circuit through coil 39f. Contacts 39C and 39' then open and motor 37 is thus reversed to drive the frame to the right at slower speed.
As explained notwithstanding the fact that the web material is fed at a uniform velocity and is continuously rolled up at the same velocity, it is possible to stop or reduce the speed of the material passing between rollers 4 and 5 for a certain period of time while the machine is in operation, thereby making it possible to inspect the material during the said period of time. Furthermore, it is possible to change at will the ratio between the time in which the stoppage or the slower movement takes place and the time in which the linear rate at which the material is wound, and consequently the present invention achieves the result in that an inspection of the material can be made while the material advances at the most efficient linear rate of travel.
In the claims, the term horizontal, is for convenience in clearly defining the relative positions of the parts as shown upon FIGURE 1 and is not to be taken as limiting the machine to any particular position in use.
