No. 591,876 Claims priority, application Czechoslovakia, Nov. 12, 1965, 6,759/65 Int. Cl. B65h 81/04 U.S. Cl. 242-4 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A shuttleless machine for providing a toroidal core winding. A plurality of conductor loops which initially extend through the toroidal core are released to be pulled onto the core by an electric drive mechanism. The conductor is guided between a pair of jaws one of which is pressed toward the other so that by way of these guide jaws the conductor is maintained under tension while being applied to the toroidal core. In addition, in the electric drive mechanism there is an electric driving motor connected into a circuit which includes a resistor and a switch for connecting the resistor into and out of the motor circuit, the motor running at a slower speed when the resistor is connected into the circuit. The switch is cam-controlled by a cam means which closes the switch when a loose conductor loop is released so that in this way the conductor loops are gently and continuously applied to the toroidal core.
The invention relates to a depositing device for a conductor to be wound by a shuttleless winding machine on a microtoroid core.
A microtoroid coil winding machine has already been disclosed operating in the following manner: A conductor which is to be wound on a toroidal ring-shaped core is prewound in several turns on two rollers in the re quired length and it is carried by these rollers so that it passes also through the toroidal core on which a coil is being wound. Between the first prewound turn and the supply of the conductor there is created a gap which permits to separate and to lift the wound conductor in such a manner that a carrier in the form of a roller catches the free end of the wound conductor, lifts it from a driven roller and a driving roller and directs it in the direction from the driven roller to the toroid whereby a new turn is always formed on the toroid held in a holder of common construction and the conductor is directed to its place on the toroid by a discriminating device comprising two strings. The winding device is driven by an electromotor over an adjustable friction coupling. A construction of this general type is disclosed in British Patent 911,622, the complete specification of which was published Nov. 28, 1962.
When the known discriminating device comprising two strings is used, the conductor is easily broken on the edge of the toroid core. This is due to the fact that while lifting the conductor from a carrier, the carrier forms a loose loop which cannot be introduced by the discriminating device accurately to such a degree that the conductor is placed uniformly on the toroid core. This device does not permit braking of the free conductor.
It is a general object of the invention to eliminate the above mentioned drawbacks of the known state of art and to create for the conductor a depositing device which prevents the conductor which has been lifted from the carrier to form a loose loop which causes interruption of the conductor after the latter has been tensioned again.
In accordance with the invention the depositing device for a conductor to he wound by a shuttleless winding machine on a microtoroid core is characterized by the fact 3,451,632 Patented June 24, 1969 that it comprises two jaws pressed against each other by an adjustable force and provided with a guiding surface for the conductor guided therebetween, and that it further comprises a braking device for slowing down the conductor to be wound on the core, the braking device being set into operation as soon as the guided conductor is released by the carrier. The braking device comprises a resistor in the circuit of the electric driving motor of the winding machine, the position of the resistor in the circuit being controlled by a cam controlled switch. The angular position of the cam is derived from the angular position of the carrier.
The invention will be best understood from the following specification to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred example of embodiment. In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of the device in accordance with the invention,
FIG. 2 is a plan view, and
FIG. 3 explains in more detail the braking device.
Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the depositing device in accordance with the invention comprises two conveniently shaped jaws 1 and 2 each having a straight portion pressed against the straight portion of the other jaw by a spring 3. The shape of the jaws 1 and 2 is such that they form almost on their entire circumference a guiding surface 4 for the conductor 5 which is guided :between these jaws before completion of each turn. The conductor 5 to be wound on the toroid core 6 is reliably guided between the two jaws which are elastic-ally pressed one to the other and which are arranged in the close vicinity of the conductor 5 and it is also braked by a suitably adjusted pressure derived from the adjustable spring 3.
FIG. 2 shows a conductor supply 7 and a part 8 of the conductor 5 which has just been wound on the toroid core 6.
When the conductor 5 passes between the jaws 1, 2 and when it becomes tensioned on the toroid core 6 a resistor 12, for example of the variable type, is switched into the circuit of the electric driving motor 11 by means of a switch 10 controlled by a cam 9. The driving motor 11 drives the mechanism which moves the carrier from which the conductor loops are released to be drawn also by way of a drive from the motor 11 onto the core 6. The carrier moves along a predetermined path and will release the conductor loops at a given moment corresponding to the moment when the cam means 9 has an angular position bringing about the closing of the switch 10 so as to connect the variable resistor 12 into the circuit driving motor 11. This reduces the speed of the electric motor in the period of control and tensioning of the conductor. Thus the conductor is tensioned on the toroidal core continually and softly. The cam 9 is mounted so that its angular position at any moment is controlled by the angular position of the carrier of the conductor. At the moment when the carrier releases the conductor 5 for winding on the toroid core 6, the cam switches in the contact 10.
The pair of jaws 1 and 2 form a friction means for frictionally engaging and guiding the conductor loops as they are drawn onto the core 6. The supply 7 of conductor loops initially extends through the core 6 so that as these loops are released to be drawn onto the core in response to the operation of the motor 11, the friction means 1, 2 will act to maintain the loops under tension. The force of the friction means is adjusted by way of the adjustable spring means 3 which urges the jaw 2 toward the jaw 1. The electric driving motor 11 is connected into the electrical circuit, shown in FIG. 3, which includes the variable resistor 12 capable of being connected into and disconnected from the circuit of the motor 11 by the switch 10. The cam 9 forms a cam means for controlling the switch 10 to connect the resistor 12 into the circuit of the driving motor 11 in response to the winding of the loose loops onto the core 6, so that in this way the speed of the motor 11 is reduced when the loose loops are applied to the core, thus achieving a continuous gentle application of the conductor windings to the core.
What we claim is:
1. In a machine for the shuttleless winding of toroidal cores, an electric driving motor, friction means for frictionally engaging and guiding conductor loops as they are drawn onto a toroidal core in response to the action of said driving motor, an electric circuit in which said motor is located, said circuit including a resistor and a switch for connecting said resistor into and out of the circuit of the motor to reduce the speed of the latter when the resister is connected into the circuit, and cam means coacting with said switch for controlling the latter to connect said resistor into said circuit when loose conductor loops are drawn onto the toroidal core by the action of said motor, whereby the speed of said motor is reduced to achieve with said friction means a continuous, gentle depositing of the loops on the core.
