Definitions

  • This invention relates to a reel for coiling and/or uncoiling strip material and, more particularly, to such a reel having an overhung mounted mandrel including means for resisting the deflection of the overhanging end thereof.
  • Reels of this type are frequently employed to coil metallic strip material as it issues under tension from a rolling mill and includes, as already indicated, an overhung rotatable coiling mandrel upon which the strip material is wound to form a coil.
  • the mandrel is received in and supported at one end by a stationary housing which, on many occasions, contains drive gearing for rotating the mandrel.
  • the outboard end of the mandrel i.e., the end opposite the supported end, when the length of the mandrel is substantial, is usually engaged by an outboard supporting device that is quickly removable from the end to permit the axial removal of a coil formed on the mandrel.
  • an outboard supporting device that is quickly removable from the end to permit the axial removal of a coil formed on the mandrel.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a device for supporting the outboard end of a reel or the like that will overcome each and every one of the above-mentioned shortcomings of known devices.
  • a reel for coiling strip material comprising a base for slidably supporting a housing, a mandrel rotatably supported by said housing and over-hanging one side thereof, means for supporting the outboard end of said mandrel rigidly connected to said housing, said supporting means including an arm having a portion engageable with the outboard end of the mandrel, means for positioning said portion of said arm into a supporting position with the mandrel and operative to withdraw said arm clear of said mandrel.
  • FIGURE 1 is an end view of a coiling reel incorporating the features of the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan sectional view taken along lines II-II of FIGURE 1, and
  • FIGURE 3 is a sectional elevational view taken along lines IIIIII of FGURE 1.
  • FIGURES 2 and 3 there is illustrated a strip-coiling reel 10 which includes a mandrel 11 received in and supported at one end by a housing 12. While not shown in the drawings, contained within the housing 12 is suitable gearing connected to the mandrel 11 for rotating it during the coiling operation. As shown in FIGURE 1, the housing 12 is constructed with opposed horizontally extending projections 13. These projections are each slidably received in bearing-lined surfaces 14 and 15 formed in vertically arranged base members 16 and 17 which are, in turn, secured at their lower ends to the foundation,
  • a bracket 18 is formed on the bottom surface thereof to which there is connected the rod of a. piston cylinder assembly 19. Operation of this piston cylinder assembly provides axial adjustment to the housing 12 and, thus, the mandrel 11 by sliding the projections 13 over the bearing lined surfaces 14 and 15 of the base members 16 and 17. As heretofore indicated, this shifting of the mandrel by appropriate automatic controls, well known in the art, assures the formation of a straight sided coil and allowance is made should the strip wander transversely.
  • FIGURES l and 3 there is provided an elongated T-shaped bed 21 secured to the foundation and arranged below and at the right-hand side of the mandrel 11.
  • a tie arm 22 is slidably received on the bed 21 and is constructed with opposed longitudinally extending slots 23 and 24 into which there is received the upper portion of the T-shaped bed 21.
  • the tie arm 22 is employed to interconnect the housing 12 with an outboard support apparatus for the mandrel 11.
  • this support includes a bell crank arm 26 carried at its lower end on a horizontally extending shaft 27.
  • a splined or keyed interconnection is provided between the arm 26 and the shaft 27 so as to permit relative axial movement, yet, prohibit relative rotational movement.
  • the shaft 27 is rotatably mounted in spacedapart bores 28 and 29 formed in upright portions of the tie arm 22.
  • One end of the shaft 27 is constructed to extend through the bore 29 and to this end arms 31 are rigidly attached.
  • Clovis-mounted to one of these arms 31 is a piston cylinder assembly 32 having its rod connected to the bell crank arm 26.
  • the rod of a piston cylinder assembly 33 that is mounted to the tie arm 22. Operation of the piston cylinder assembly 32 effects longitudinal movement of the bell crank arm 26 on the shaft 27, while operation of the piston cylinder assembly 33 imparts rotational movement to the shaft 27 and the bell crank arm 26.
  • a circular recess 34 is formed in the upper end of the bell crank arm 26 into which is received an anti-friction bearing 35.
  • the extreme outer end of the mandrel has a cylindrical portion 36 over which the bearing 35 is positioned to support the outboard end of the reel.
  • a registering means is provided to assure accurate positioning of the 3 bell crank arm 26 with respect to the reel.
  • This means includes a stud 37 which is aflixed to the arm 26 and receivable in a bore 38 formed in an upright member 39 that is part of and projects from the tie arm 22.
  • the stud 37 will be brought into a position directly in front of the bore 38.
  • the piston cylinder assembly 32 will be operated to advance the arm 26 towards the mandrel 11 in which connection the stud 37 will first enter the bore 38 and automatically locate the anti-friction bearing 35 relative to the adjacent cylindrical portion 36 of the mandrel so that as the arm is further moved towards the mandrel and as the stud continues into the bore, the bearing 35 will be automatically placed on the cylindrical portion 36.
  • the present invention provides an arrangement whereby the anti-friction bearing 35 is quickly, accurately, consistently and automatically registered with the mandrel 11.
  • the rigid support between the reel housing 12 and the outboard support by virtue of the tie arm 22 resists any influence due to Wear and distortion of the parts from preventing the automatic registration of the outboard support with the mandrel.
  • the mandrel 11 In the operative position of the outboard support the mandrel 11 is rigidly supported by the bell crank arm 26 as previously indicated. With the elements located in this position, axial positioning of the mandrel to assure the formation of straight-sided coils may be accomplished Without the outboard support becoming disengaged from the mandrel. This is accomplished by reason of the tie arm 22 which interconnects the mandrel 11 and the housing 12 with the outboard support apparatus.
  • a reel for coiling and/or uncoiling metallic strip material incident to processing in a rolling mill comprisa housing,
  • a mandrel rotatably supported by said housing at its inboard end and having an outboard strip receiving end overhanging one side of said housing, said strip receiving end of said mandrel being subject to forces inducing deflection thereof,
  • said member carrying said support means and arranged at one side of said mandrel in a spaced parallelly extending relation below the mandrel.
  • a reel according to claim 1 further comprising:
  • a reel according to claim 1 in which said support means and said means positioning said support means includes:
