Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to novel method and apparatus for coiling rod or wire and is particularly useful for handling rod from gauge (.20'7" diameter) to /2" diameter when coiled into bundles of any desired size including continuous coils weighing 3,000 pounds or more.
  • this invention relates to an arrangement for assembling a continuously coiled rod into bundles or coils of any desired size with each coil being in the form of a compact stack containing many rings of the coiled rod and having provision for transporting the coils so formed to be deposited on a transfer arm where the coils can be engaged by a hook carrier for further transport.
  • Coiling rod in a conventional laying reel has many disadvantages especially where large bundles are to be assembled since such large bundles tend to be unstable after discharge from the laying reel and the large mass of material prevents rapid and uniform cooling of the rod. Furthermore, where the rod is delivered coiled to a running conveyor upon which it appears as a continuous series of overlapping rings, which is Well adapted to rapid and uniform cooling, means not previously available are required for collecting the successive rings into a compact coil.
  • Another feature of the invention is the provision of a movable separator and shear assembly which can be introduced to cut the rod and provide coil bundles of predetermined weight while permitting the oncoming rings of rod to accumulate during the cutting operation.
  • a similar feature provides for the discharge and disposal of groups of coils at the end of the conveyor without regard to the arrival of subsequent coils.
  • FIG. 1 is a view from above in perspective of a coil forming transport system in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the conveyor system showing a turnstile lateral support therefor;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the lines 33 of FIG. 2 showing the turnstile lateral support in elevation;
  • FIG. 4 is a view taken in the direction indicated by the line 44 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 4;
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are detailed views in side elevation of the shear which is mounted on the separator shown in FIGS. 4 and 5;
  • FIG. 8 is a side elevation detail of the portion of the conveyor which receives the continuous looped rod from the belt conveyor.
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional detail of the conveyor track as it is constructed to allow entrance and exit of the supporting truck at each end thereof.
  • the system is adapted to receive rod or wire product 11 delivered in the form of continuous overlapped rings at the end of a suitable belt conveyor 12 or other delivery means.
  • the delivery end of the conveyor 12 is preferably elevated to a point above floor level which will permit the product 11 to fall upon a bifurcated stem 13 which is inclined upwardly to terminate at approximately the level of the conveyor 12.
  • the bifurcated stem 13 extends downwardly beyond the position of a separator and shear mechanism 14 where the stem 13 is attached to an upwardly inclined extension 15 of a tubular track 16.
  • a disappearing stop 10 is located below the junction of the stem 13 and the extension 15.
  • the stop 10 is adapted to move transverse to the extension 15 to a ring restraining position for the accumulation of any desired number of rings into a coil 17.
  • One suitable form for the stop 10 comprises a U-shaped plate having spaced parallel members straddling the extension 15.
  • the tubular track 16, as well as the rod coils 17 carried thereby, is supported from above solely by means of trolley rods 18 which have a pair of flanged rollers 19 at the lower end thereof and a wheeled truck 21 at the upper end thereof.
  • the rollers 19 support the tubular track 16 by rolling engagement with an interior track 22 more specifically shown in FIG. 3 while the truck 21 is supported from the flanges of an H-beam 23 which is supported above the tubular track 16.
  • the H-beam 23 follows a path which is directly above the tubular track 16 and is generally parallel thereto and a fixed distance therefrom over the entire length of the track 16 except for an initial portion 24 which slopes upwardly at a greater angle than the corresponding upwardly inclined section 15.
  • a chain conveyor 25 which is driven over a series of guide sheaves 26, 27 adapted to engage the links of the chain and apply driving force to the chain to power the conveyor system.
  • the chain 25 is discharged from the last guide pulley 27 which is slightly elevated with respect to the preceding pulley 26 in order that the trucks 21 can be discharged into running engagement with the flanges of the H-beam 23 at the upward end of the extension 24.
  • the rapid descent of the portion 24 permits the rollers 19 at the lower end of the rod 18 to drop through a cut away portion 23 in the section 15 thereby permitting the rollers 19 to enter the interior of the tubular track 16.
  • the coils 17 are pushed along the track 16 in sliding engagement therewith and supported thereon by means of a plate 29 which is carried by each of the rods 18.
  • the entire assembly is stabilized with respect to displacement in the horizontal plane by means of a series of bends or turns in the path of the track 16 and a cooperating series of turnstiles which engage the bottom and side walls of the track 16 Without interfering with the passage of the coils 17.
  • the tubular track 16 is formed with a first bend 31 followed by a straight run 32 and a second 180 bend 33. P01- lowing the bend 33, a straight run 34 proceeds to the vicinity of a discharge point where the tubular track terminates in a downwardly sloping stem 35.
  • the stem 35 has an enlarged opening 36 to permit the exit of the wheel supports 19 and terminates aligned with an inclined bifurcated support 37.
  • the support 37 extends from a post 38 which is adapted to be revolved toa position where a hook carrier can engage the coils 17 thereon by passing through the central opening in the support 37.
  • a disappearing stop 39 is positioned at the end of the discharge stem 35.
  • the stop 39 may be moved vertically into and out of bundle restraining position by means of a suitable actuator 41. In FIG. 1 the stop 39 is shown in coil restraining position.
  • turnstiles 42 While the entire weight of the tubular track 16 is supported from above by means of the travelling rods 18, lateral constraint in all directions in the horizontal plane is achieved by means of a pair of turnstiles 42 which are driven in synchronism with the speed of the conveyor chain 25 and arranged to engage the side and bottom wall of the tubular track 16 between adjacent coils 17.
  • the turnstiles 42 provide horizontally extending arms 43, at least two of which are always in engagement with the track 16 at each of the 1.80 bends 31 and 33. The entire assembly is therefore stabilized with respect to two perpendicular directions in the horizontal plane corresponding to the directions of the rotatable arms 43 then in contact with the track 16.
  • the turnstile 42 has four horizontal arms 43 on the end of which are secured roller brackets 44.
  • the roller backets 44 have journaled thereon a vertical roller 45 and a horizontal roller 46 positioned to engage side and bottom extensions of the tubular track body 16.
  • the tubular track 16 may be fabricated from mating halves 47 and 48 which are joined at their lower flange extensions 49 and successive longitudinal sections are connected by means of bolting flanges 51.
  • the two halves 47 and 48 have upwardly extending inclined walls 52 and 53 which terminate in opposed edges 54 which define a slot 55 in which the rod 18 freely passes.
  • the internal track 22 is formed by two parallel flats which may be secured in a corner recess in each of the half sections 47 and 48.
  • the track 22 may be made of a hand steel strip which is capable of withstanding the traverse of the rollers 19 without excessive Wear.
  • the rollers 19 are supported by suitable bearings on a transverse shaft 56 secured to the bottom end of the rod 18.
  • the push plate 29 is connected to the rod 18 for the purpose of pushing the bundle 17 in sliding contact with the upper surface of the inclined walls 52 and 53.
  • the turnstile assembly 42 is supported for rotation on a vertical shaft 58 which is driven by means of a set of bevel gears contained in gear box 59 at a speed and position synchronized with the moving trucks 21 on the chain drive 25.
  • a suitable power coupling 61 is provided for driving the turnstiles 42 from the main drive for the chain conveyor 25.
  • FIGS. 4-7 Whenever a billet of material is formed into the sequence of overlapped rings 11 in greater number than is desired to be assembled into the individual coils 17, the separator assembly 14 and its associated rod shear may be used to subdivide the product into coils of desired weight.
  • the details of this mechanism are shown in FIGS. 4-7, with FIG. 4 being a view in the nature of an elevation in the plane of operation of the separator assembly.
  • the assembly comprises a plate 62 slid-able in parallel guide-ways 63 which engage the edges thereof, the guide-Ways being supported by any suitable means from the floor 57.
  • the plate 62 has secured thereto a pair of spaced shield prongs 64 which in the extended position of the mechanism straddle the collecting stem 13.
