Definitions

  • a winding and transfer means having a pair of grasping lingers mounted on an arm which is vertically reciprocable and angularly rotatable between a winding turntable and a wrapping station.
  • a ⁇ device for winding and transferring particularly a hanked cord-like member that comprises a pick-up member that is movable between a first winding station and a second wrapping station and which at each station reciprocates so that in the downward position will grasp the article and/ or release it as the case might be.
  • the transfer mechanism is basically mounted on platforms and 12 which are held in spaced relationship. For convenience of illustration there is shown 'mounted on the platform 12 a winding turntable 40 (FIG. 1) which is driven through a right angular drive means 50 that in turn is coupled back to motor 13 via a shaft 21 and drive means 18, shaft 21 having included along its length a clutch engaging means 22 and a brake 52.
  • Motive power for operating the transfer mechanism is taken from the motor 13 by way of a belt 14 to the input shaft 15 of a combined clutch and brake unit 16.
  • Within -the unit 16 there is contained an electromagnetic brake and an electromagnetic clutch which performnormal functions attributable to these devices.
  • the output of the clutch brake unit as at 186 is coupled by a right angular drive (not shown) -to shaft 184 which has mounted thereon a cam 182 that provides all of the motions necessary for the operation of the transfer mechanism.
  • the transfer mechanism of this invention briefly consists of grasping lingers which will pick up an article at a rst station, such as on a turntable 40 and move it to another or second station such as wrapping station 220 (FIG. 6) that is angularly related to the lirst station.
  • a rst station such as on a turntable 40
  • wrapping station 220 FIG. 6
  • an outer tubular shaft is received for rotative support in a bearing 121 that is mounted on the platform 12 and this shaft extends downwardly through a second bearing support 122 on platform 10 and terminates with a spur gear 123.
  • this tubular shaft 120 On the upper end of this tubular shaft 120, there is lixedly attached a block-like member 125 which has a pair of rollerfollowers 126 aixed thereto and internally of the tubular shaft 120 there is slidab'ly received in suitable bushings not shown a post 128.
  • the post 128 has an arm 129 affixed to the upper end thereof as by a mounting block 130 land immediately below the mounting block there is also affixed an L-shaped camming bracket 132 which has a T-shaped section 133 and an upper flat surface 134.
  • the pair of roller followers 126 straddle the T-shaped section 133 and in this fashion the post 128 and the shaft 120 are coupled together for rotary movement but are adapted for relative reciprocation.
  • a pair of brackets 136 which ⁇ carry mounting plates 137.
  • a pair of scissor-like arms 139 are mounted, arms 139 having operating rods 141 coupled thereto while arms 140 have operating rods 142 coupled thereto.
  • the two operating rods 141 and 142 are connected to a cross head 145 which is provided with reduced ends such as 146 that ride in slots 147 against the pressure of compression springs 148 in the containers 136.
  • the cross head 145 is coupled through a post 149 (FIG.
  • the arm assembly 152 is pivoted by a pin 154 to an extension of the block 130.
  • the portion 155 of assembly 152 carries at its end a roller 156 and is provided intermediate thereof with a latching pin 157.
  • a latch means is pivoted Vas at 161 to the bracket 132 and has a latching surface 163 upon which normally rests the latch pin 157.
  • the latching arm 160 is normally springbiased by a spring 165 in the position as shown in FIG.
  • crank arm assembly 152 is held in a counterclockwise position which in turn holds the cross head 145 downwardly relative to the arm 129 so that the grasping lingers 139, 140 are in an open position as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • This mechanism that has been described so far is adapted to pick up an object and then rotate through an arc depositing it at a wrapping station for further processing. While by no means limited to an angular variation of 90 the apparatus, however, has been illustrated and will be described with that particular angular rotation in mind.
  • the lower end of the post 128 (FIG. 3) is provided with a slotted collar which is conveniently held on the en-d of the post 128 by a pair of locking nuts 171. Extending radially into the slot 173 in the collar 170 are pins 172 attached to the yoke end 174 of lever 175 that is iixedly pivoted to the main platform 10 of the machine by a bracket 177.
  • a cam follower is mounted on the arm 175 as at 178, and this cam follower is adapted to ride in the cam groove of the cam 182 which cam is adapted to rotate in the direction of the arrow 183.
  • Cam 182 is mounted on a shaft 184 which is driven through a series of gears to provide ⁇ a right-angular drive in a manner Well known to those versed in the machine art and is effectively coupled to the output shaft 186 of the combined clutch brake unit generally designated 16.
  • Cam 182 is a double faced cam and on the reverse side thereof as shown in dotted lines is another cam groove designated 188, and in this groove a cam follower 189 is received which follower is positioned on the end of a bell crank 190 that is pivoted to a support bracket 191 as at 192.
  • the other end of the bell crank has coupled thereto a rack 194 which rack is slidably guided in blocks 195 so as to engage the pinion 123 on shaft 120.
  • a brake 206 of an electromagnetic type is mounted on the tubular shaft 120 and the cam slot 188 is designed in such a way that the cam follower 189 will be following in a circular path during the initial rotary movement.
  • Lever 175 is brought downwardly by the action of the cam follower 178 being brought close to the rotative center of the cam, and this pulls the post 128 downwardly and all of the arms that are mounted thereon.
  • the bell crank latching arm 160 will be engaged by a fixed pin or tripping means 207 (FIGS. 1 and 2) which is mounted on a post 212.
  • Protrusion 211 on the cam 182 disengages from switch 210 closing the switch and engaging the brake preferably a few degrees ahead of the desired stopping point so as to provide rotational inertia braking and again the cam follower 178 is in a position to bring the post 128 downwardly as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the roller 156 on the portion 155 of assembly 152 engages a fixed post 212, rocking the arm 152 counterclockwise and in turn moving the grasping lingers 139, 140 to an open position as the cross head 145 moves downwardly against the pressure of compression springs 148.
  • the article grasped is thus released into Wrapping station 220 (FIG. 6).
  • Tension spring 165 places the latching edge under pin 157 so that the parts are now reset into the position that is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the cam 182 is still rotating, and at the proper point in its operation, the cam 214 re-engages the switch contactor 210 and releases the brake 206, and the cam follower 189 will now move radially outward of the cam 182 following in its cam slot 188 sliding the rack 194 to the left as viewed in FIG. 3 and rotate the shaft 120 back to its original angular position as illustrated in FIG. 1, the pin 214 disengaging the switch ⁇ Contact 210v la few degrees before the stop position is reached to again absorb the inertia of rotation.
  • the main start switch 200 is disengaged and the entire cycle is stopped with the contactor 203 energizing the brake coil 202 of the clutch brake unit 16, while at the same time declutching by removal of power from the clutch coil 205.
