Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement in an automatic winding machine for winding and unwinding a cable, thread or other similar product on and from a flanged drum, respectively, the winding machine comprising
  • a winding machine of this type is used especially in the cable industry for winding a cable on a drum or for unwinding a cable from a drum, but it is equally applicable for winding other similar products, such as threads and ropes.
  • the winding machine operates in such a manner that the drum is gripped by means of the gripping pins of the winding machine and lifted up from the floor plane to a fixed winding position, whereafter the drum is rotated by means of a rotation apparatus which is pressed against one flange of the drum.
  • a rotation apparatus which is pressed against one flange of the drum.
  • Winding drums used in such winding machines vary in size, that is, their flanges differ in diameter. Therefore it is necessary that the rotation apparatus is displaceable by adjusting means to an appropriate operating position in which the drive wheels of the rotation apparatus contact the periphery of one flange of the drum.
  • winding drums used in such winding machines are made of different materials, such as metal, plastic and wood, wherefore it is necessary that the pressure by which the drive wheel of the rotation apparatus is pressed against the flange of the drum is adjustable to an appropriate value.
  • Large drums normally require a high pressure on account of the thick cable to be wound, whereas small drums normally require a low pressure.
  • An excessive pressure exposes the drive wheel to wear, while an inadequate pressure causes slippage as well as wear.
  • Maximum pressure causes a risk that the drive wheel breaks the drum, especially small drums with flanges made of a weaker material.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide an arrangement which enables the adjustment of the drive wheel and the regulation of the pressure fully automatically in accordance with the diameter of the flange of the drum to be used in each particular case. This is achieved by means of an arrangement according to the invention which is characterized in
  • the invention is based on the idea that the vertical displacing movement of the gripping pins down to the gripping position is utilized to determine the size of the flange of the drum to be used next, and the obtained information is utilized both to adjust the rotation apparatus to an appropriate operating position in view of the size of the drum flange, and to regulate the pressure in the press means to an appropriate value in view of the diameter and material of the drum flange.
  • the invention is especially applicable in winding machines used in the production of cables, where the continuous cable production processes require that the exchange of the drum and the adjustment and regulation operations required for restarting the winding process take place with a minimum of time delay and in such a manner that the size and kind of the drum are taken into account as accurately as possible.
  • the service life of the drive wheel can be increased to a maximum as the pressure of the drive wheel is regulated automatically in accordance with the diameter and material of the drum flange.
  • the invention eliminates all manual adjustment and regulation errors.
  • the drawing shows a winding machine of the type disclosed in Finnish Patent Application 892889.
  • the winding machine comprises a support frame 1 and two carriers 3 supported vertically stationary by the columns 2 of the support frame.
  • Each carrier is provided with a lifting device 4 having a gripping pin 5 mounted vertically displaceably on an adjusting screw 6 mounted vertically stationary but rotatably on the carrier.
  • the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to a motor 7.
  • Each gripping pin is vertically displaceable by means of the adjusting screw between a fixed upper winding position A and a lower gripping position B in which the gripping pins are inserted into the central openings of the drum 8.
  • the position for gripping the smallest drum 8′ is indicated with B′ while the position for gripping the largest drum 8 ⁇ is indicated with B ⁇ .
  • the largest drum In the winding position the largest drum is positioned at a distance C above a floor plane 9.
  • the gripping pin is positioned at a distance D′ above the floor plane and in the position B ⁇ for gripping the largest drum at a distance D ⁇ above the floor plane.
  • the support frame of the winding machine supports vertically displaceably a rotation apparatus 10 for the drum.
  • the rotation apparatus comprises a motor-operated drive wheel 11 arranged to be pressed against the peripheral edge of the drum flange.
  • the rotation apparatus will be described in greater detail in connection with Figure 2, in which it is shown as detached from the rest of the winding machine for the sake of clarity.
  • a pulse generator 12 is positioned in one of the carriers in the vicinity of the vertical adjusting screw of the gripping pin.
  • the pulse generator 12 detects each revolution of the adjusting screw when the gripping pin is adjusted to the gripping position.
  • the pulse generator is connected by means of a conductor 13 to a calculator 14 which receives the pulses from the pulse generator.
  • the calculator in turn is connected to a programmable control device 15.
  • the drive wheel 11 of the rotation apparatus and a motor 16 are mounted on a base 17 mounted vertically movably on a carriage 18 which is supported by the support frame of the winding machine.
  • the carriage is connected to an adjusting screw 19 operated by a motor 20 supported stationary by the support frame of the winding machine.
  • a compressed-air bellows 21 is mounted between the base of the drive wheel and a shoulder formed in the carriage, and the bellows in turn is connected by means of a conductor 22 to a source of compressed air 23.
  • An air pressure regulator 24 connected by means of a conductor 25 to the control device 15 is coupled to the conductor 22.
  • the motor of the adjusting screw is also connected by means of a conductor 26 to the control device 15.
  • the winding machine operates in the following way.
  • the adjusting screw motor 7 of each gripping pin receives a pulse from the actuating system of the winding machine to rotate the adjusting screws, so that the gripping pins are displaced downwards from the upper winding position A.
  • the motors of the adjusting screws stop and the gripping pins are inserted into the central openings.
  • the pulse generator 12 applies a number of electronic pulses to the calculator 14, the number of the pulses corresponding to the number of revolutions accomplished by each adjusting screw.
  • the number of revolutions of the adjusting screw corresponds to the distance over which the gripping pin has moved downwards from the winding position, that is, to which height above the floor plane the gripping pin has been displaced.
  • the distance D above the floor plane 9 in the gripping position of the gripping pins gives accurate information on the radius of the flange of the cable drum.
  • the calculator sends a signal corresponding to the total number of pulses from the pulse generator to the programmable control device 15.
  • the control device calculates a first control signal for the adjusting screw motor 20 of the drive wheel, and a second control signal for the air pressure regulator 24 of the drive wheel.
  • the first control signal is sent through the conductor 26 to the adjusting screw motor so as to rotate the adjusting screw 19 by means of the motor to such an extent that the distance between the periphery of the drive wheel and the winding position A of the gripping pins equals to the radius of the flange of the drum.
  • the drive wheel is thus positioned against the peripheral edge of the drum flange when the drum is lifted to the winding position.
  • the second control signal is sent through the conductor 25 to the air pressure regulator 24 so as to regulate the air pressure to a value such that the pressure in the bellows 21 presses the drive wheel with a predetermined force programmed in the control device for each particular drum size and material.
  • the first control signal enables a rough adjustment of the drive wheel to a desired operating position
  • the second control signal enables a fine adjustment of the pressure of the drive wheel in the operating position.
  • One suitable air pressure regulator is a FESTO regulator, type MPP3
  • a suitable compressed-air bellows is a FIRESTONE AIRSTROKE bellows, type 1909
  • a suitable programmable analog control device is a SIEMENS SIMATIC apparatus S115 including an analog output and calculator.
  • the size of the flange of the winding drum can be detected reliably, and the operating position of the drive wheel as well as the pressing force of the drive wheel can be adjusted correspondingly on the basis of the detected drum size.
  • the power means of the gripping pins can equally well be operated by pressure fluid, e.g. a pneumatic cylinder with a reading device for the movement of the piston rod (FESTO double-acting cylinder, type DKE-PPV-A) or a hydraulic cylinder can be used, whereby a suitable detecting means in both cases is a linear pulse generator.
  • pressure fluid e.g. a pneumatic cylinder with a reading device for the movement of the piston rod (FESTO double-acting cylinder, type DKE-PPV-A) or a hydraulic cylinder can be used, whereby a suitable detecting means in both cases is a linear pulse generator.
