Definitions

  • a web winding apparatus utilizing a drive system and a web winder, including means for effecting a programmed web speed increase from start-up to and not exceeding the rated web winder speed whereby the speed of the traveling web is increased to the maximum desired speed after the roll diameter of the winding web has attained a surface speed equal to the maximum speed of the drive system.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic representation in perspective of the functioning parts of the salient portions of the winding apparatus together with the electrical control system;
  • FIGURE 2 is a block diagram of the drive system of the apparatus of the present invention.
  • the apparatus herein disclosed in illustration of the invention includes a mandrel 16 axially driven by a suitable motor 17 through adjustable magnetic clutch 18 operatively connected between the motor'17 and mandrel 16.
  • moving web material 11 is advanced toward roll 12 at a controlled speed by web advancing roller set 13 which includes a driven roll 14 and a non-driven roll 15 that rotates at the same speed as roll 14.
  • Roll 14 is driven by a suitable motor 41 through adjustable magnetic clutch 38 operatively connected between motor 41 and roll 14.
  • the speed of roll 14 is controlled by magnetic clutch 38, through controller 39, and feed-back from tachometer-generator 19. Power is delivered to magnetic clutch 38 upon actuation of relay 40 and start switch 37.
  • Motor 41 operates at constant speed and is energized from the power line as depicted in-FIGURE 1 which is connected to a main power switch, not shown.
  • Roller set 13 is located ahead of mandrel 16 and advances web material 11 to mandrel 16 where it is wound.
  • a tachometer-generator 19 is operatively connected to roll 14, and a tachometer-generator 20 is operatively connected to mandrel 16; each tachometer-generator generates an electrical signal and each such signal is fed through suitable electrical conductors to inverse speed "ice generator 21.
  • Tachometer-generator 19 is characterized preferably by a voltage level proportional to the rotational speed of roll 14 and a direct current output adapted to charge a capacitor unit in the inverse speed generator 21; and tachometer-generator 20 is characterized by an alternating current output.
  • the inverse speed generator 21 receives the current output signal from each of tachometer-generators 19 and 20 and, in turn, itself provides a voltage output signal that is a function of the ratio of the rotational speed of roll 14 and mandrel 16.
  • the inverse speed generator 21 is a conventional unit known to the trade such as, for example, Inverse Speed Board No. 45800345-0010 available from the Louis Allis Company, Milwaukee, Wis.
  • the voltage output signal, commonly referred to as a control signal, from inverse speed generator 21 is fed through suitable electrical conductors to tension adjustor 32 which is a voltage divider adapted to select and transmit to clutch voltage controller 22 a portion of the control signal.
  • inverse speed board or generator 21 The function of inverse speed board or generator 21 is to provide a control signal to clutch voltage controller 22 that is inversely proportional to the ratio of the angular speed of mandrel 16 to the angular speed of roller 14; as the radius of roll 12 increases, the speed of mandrel 16 decreases, and to maintain uniform web tension, the signal from inverse speed board 21 increases or becomes greater resulting in greater output from clutch voltage controller 22 to increase the torque of roll 12 accordingly. It is understood, of course, that as the diameter of roll 12 increases, the torque also must be increased in order to maintain uniform or constant tension on the web material. Thus, inverse speed board 21 provides a signal which accomplishes the purpose of increasing torque with web roll radius.
  • the clutch voltage controller 22 is a conventional unit known to the trade such as, for example, Voltage Controller No. 45500798-0000 available from the Louis Allis Company, Milwaukee, Wis.
  • the clutch voltage controller 22 is electrically connected between the power source (not shown) and magnetic clutch 18 and controls in a continuous manner the line voltage or power fed to magnetic clutch 18 in direct response to the control signal received from tension adjustor 32 and thereby controls the torque characteristic of roll 12; i.e., magnetic clutch 18 controls the rotation of mandrel 16 and ensures that the torque of roll 12 is only that which is necessary to maintain uniform tension on the web material during the winding operation.
  • the change in torque requirement associated with acceleration and deceleration of roll 12 is controlled by acceleration-deceleration compensator 31.
  • the acceleration-deceleration compensator 31 is a detector-amplifier electrically connected, as depicted in FIGURE 1, between tachometer-generator 19 and clutch voltage controller 22, and is adapted to detect and transmit to clutch voltage controller 22 a signal proportional to the rate of increase or decrease of the output signal of tachometer-generator 19.
  • the accelerationdeceleration compensator 31 responsive to a constant voltage signal from tachometer-generator 19, transmits zero or no bias signal, but provides a signal of sufficient magnitude to clutch voltage controller 22 during acceleration or deceleration of roll 12 adequate either to increase or decrease the torque output from magnetic clutch 18 or roll 12 for maintaining the required degree of tension on the web material 11.
  • the acceleration-deceleration compensator 31 is a conventional unit known to the trade such as, for example, Acceleration-Deceleration Controller No. 45500575-0000 available from the Louis Allis Company, Milwaukee, Wis. This element functions essentially by monitoring the magnitude of a capacitor therein charging or discharging current as the voltage that it senses changes with changing speed of the winding roll.
  • the rising voltage from tachometer-generator 19 causes acceleration-deceleration compensator 31 to produce an output voltage which serves as a bias signal to ratus features depicted in FIGURE 1 adapted to linearly 5 controller 22 to provide for the additional torque required accelerate the web material 11 to an original web travelfor accelerating roll 12.
