Definitions

  • My invention relates to device for unloading a transfer case containing textile coils, and more particularly to such a device which includes a conveyor located below a discharge opening formed in the transfer case, and provided with troughs for receiving the coils.
  • German Patent 1,174,662 there has been described a device for unloading transfer cases containing textile coils which comprises a conveyor band, provided with troughs for receiving the coils, that is passed lengthwise below the discharge opening of each transfer case.
  • An other type of movable conveying apparatus provided with troughs for receiving the coils and located below the discharge opening of the transfer case is disclosed for example, in the Swiss Patent 367,420, wherein the conveying apparatus comprises so-called divider or distributing discs.
  • I provide 1n accordance with my invention device for unloading a transfer case having an opening through which textile coils contained therein are removed therefrom, comprising a conveyor having a travel direction substantially along a side of the transfer case past the opening thereof, the conveyor being provided with a plurality of coilreceiving troughs periodically disposed in the transfer case as the conveyor travels, the conveyor and the transfer case being mounted so as to be yieldable relative to one another in a direction transverse to the travel direction of the conveyor.
  • the coil-receiving troughs travel in a direction along and spaced from a side of the transfer case past the opening thereof, the conveyor and the transfer case being mounted so as to be yieldable toward one another in the space therebetween.
  • either the transfer case or the conveyor or both can yield so that the spacing therebetween is temporarily increased. The jam is thereby loosened and the original spacing between transfer case and conveyor is automatically restored.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device of my invention taken along the line I--I in FIG. 2 in the direction of the arrows;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along the line 11-11 in the direction of the arrows;
  • FIG. 3 is a modified form of the embodiment of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view comparable to that of FIG. 1 of another embodiment of the invention.
  • a transfer case 1 containing textile coils or cops, as it is being delivered, for example, from a spinning machine to a coil winding machine.
  • the textile coils are removed from the transfer case 1 by means of an endless conveyor band or belt 2 driven by a motor 5 over a chain or belt transmission 6, the conveyor belt or band being moved about the reversing rollers 20 and 2d in the direction of the arrow 2e along a side of the transfer case 1 below the dis charge opening thereof.
  • the textile coils then drop into the conveyor troughs 2a formed by projections or extensions 2b of the conveyor belt 2 and are delivered by the conveyor belt 2, for example to a non-illustrated intermediate magazine.
  • the transfer case and the conveyor apparatus shown in FIG. 1 are mounted so as to be yieldable toward on another in the space therebetween.
  • the transfer case is mounted so that it is slidable or movable on a plane 21 that is inclined with respect to the conveyor apparatus and forms an angle of between 10 and 45 with a horizontal plane.
  • the extensions 2b of the conveyor band 2 extend with clearance into the discharge opening of the transfer case 1. It is therefore advantageous to provide a support rod 24 for stabilizing the transfer case 1. It is accordingly desirable to locate the support rod as close as possible to the conveyor apparatus 2 for reasons of stability. If a so-called cop or coil bridge is then formed between the support rod 24 and the conveyor device, i.e.
  • the spring 2 is a tension spring which biases the upper reversing roller 20 so that it tends to pivot clockwise about the shaft of the lower reversing roller 2b until it comes into engagement with the right-hand edge of the slot 2g as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the conveyor belt 2 can then yield so that the shaft of the upper reversing roller 20 moves toward the left-hand edge of the slot 29 as viewed in FIG. 3 against the action of the spring, so that the jam is thereby loosened.
  • the conveyor belt is not disposed parallel to the discharge opening of the transfer case 1, but rather is guided in a direction inclined thereto, and more particularly from the bottom left-hand to the upper right-hand side of FIG. 4 instead of from the lower right-hand side to the upper left-hand side as shown in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the upper reversing roller 2c of the embodiment of FIG. 4 is also guided in a slot 2g. Due to gravity force, the shaft of the upper reversing roller 20 of the embodiment of FIG. 4 also is located at the right-hand edge of the slot 2g. When a jam occurs, the reversing roller 2c and the entire conveyor belt therewith can pivot toward the left'hand side, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • a slide or chute 2k is provided which is mounted by means of support arms 2! and 2m on the shafts of the upper and lower reversing rollers 20 and 2d respectively, and can therefore pivot with the conveyor belt.
  • jamming of the textile coils which obstruct the movement of the conveyor belt is automatically corrected by the adjusting motion of the transfer case or the conveyor device or both without requiring contact by hand or the production of a relative movement between the transfer case and the conveyor apparatus opposite in direction to the conveying motion of the conveyor belt.
  • Device for unloading a transfer case having an opening through which textile coils contained therein are removed therefrom comprising conveyor means having a travel direction substantially along a side of the transfer case past the opening thereof, said conveyor means being provided with a plurality of coil-receiving troughs period ically disposed in the transfer case as said conveyor means travels, and means for mounting said conveyor means and the transfer case so that they are yieldably movable relative to one another in a direction transverse to said travel direction of said conveyor means.
  • Device according to claim 1 including spring means for yieldably urging said conveyor means toward the transfer case.
  • said conveyor means comprises an endless band supported on end reversing rollers and pivotable about the shaft of one of said rollers.
  • Device including a support frame for said endless conveyor band, said support frame being formed with a slot in which the shaft of the other of said rollers is slidable as said conveyor band pivots about the shaft of said one roller.
