  • rolled wire is processed using a Coil layer in loops with a defined diameter Put the conveyor belt down, convey it on and cool it down. At the end of the transport route are the wire windings in a bundle forming chamber collected and bundled. If the turns without manipulation devices such as grippers, hooks, rotating devices for Definition of the storage position of the turns, e.g. rotating mandrel, fall into the bundle chamber, then bundles arise with a height determined by randomness of the storage, the Windings essentially approximately centered around an inner mandrel the Bundsentecro.
  • the bundle height of turns in a bundle chamber can be orderly filing of the turns can be significantly influenced.
  • the result is a more even bundle structure than with freely falling ones Coils.
  • an orderly filing leads to a better unwindability and higher stability of the wire bundles.
  • Document EP 0 768 126 A1 discloses a method for minimization the amount of by successively collecting a variety of Wire coils in a bundle forming bundles.
  • the aim of the known method is to show a possibility which minimizes the height of wire bundles and at the same time the densest possible pack of the contained on them Causes wire twists.
  • the wire turns during their essentially vertical drop movement of an additional horizontal spin movement exposed.
  • the effects on the individual wire turns Spin movements have the consequence that the wire turns on a larger than the diameter determined by the inlet housing shifted outwards and consequently either against the Inner circumference of the bundle chamber or offset against each other. It is created in a simple manner in the Bundnduehunt densely packed, reduced in height and stabilized in itself Winding packages or wire bundles.
  • a device for performing this method closes to a wire winding transport device via a vertically aligned one Inlet housing for successive wire turns one the bundle chamber below. It is essentially like this built that in a between the inlet housing and the A wire guide housing in addition to the height range located in the bundle chamber is located on a vertical longitudinal axis of Inlet housing and bundle chamber surrounding horizontal trajectory is movably drivable.
  • DE-AS 1 586 287 describes a device for collecting, pressing and tying fan-wound wire turns.
  • the transfer of wire windings collected in the ring from the collecting station to a pressing and binding device is designed so that the compact position reached when collecting the wire turns up to Tying is not changed.
  • the centering and Guiding effect of the dome for the falling wire is improved to avoid damage to the wire windings and to ensure trouble-free collection.

Means to minimize the fret height by collecting a variety of wire turns Bundles of wire formed in the bundling chamber are not provided.
  • EP 0 583 099 B1 describes a device for picking up loops, falling from a vertical path of a dispenser as well as for collecting the loops in a ring Wire bundle, with a device for the horizontal distribution of the Loops when they fall.
  • the device comprises: Means for defining a circular path that surrounds the vertical path.
  • a rotatable guide member having a curved guide surface with an upper edge that extends around a segment of the circular path from a front end to a rear end with a trailing edge and from the rear edge to a lower end and with a guide edge from the lower end extends at an angle to the front end of a trailing edge, the guide surface extending into the vertical path, is arranged such that it comes into contact with the falling loops and horizontally deflects them from the circular path.
  • the device further includes means for driving the guide member around the circular path to distribute the deflected loops around the axis of the toroid.
  • the guide element is arranged centrally in the bundle forming chamber. Other means of compacting the packing layer of the individual wire turns into a compact waistband that is minimized in height Device not to be removed.
  • EP 0 442 835 B1 discloses a method for forming bundles made of metal wire, according to which one preformed wire turns in drops a shaft which is essentially cylindrical Wall with a vertical axis, in which the turns are below Layering a covenant.
  • the procedure is at a metal wire is used, which is attracted by a magnet can be, during the free fall of the turns on this an attraction directed towards the wall of the shaft exercises.
  • This force is generated by a rotating magnetic field generated, which penetrates the inside of the shaft to a depth, which is at least equal to the difference between the inner diameter of the shaft and the diameter of the turns.
  • the direction of this force is determined by rotary movements around the axis of the Well determined.
  • the magnetic field is generated by electromagnets which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the shaft and are fed cyclically with direct current.
  • the process is comparatively complex and beyond depending on the susceptibility of the respective wire material.
  • the object of the present invention is a method and to show a device by which a minimization the fret height by collecting a variety of wire turns reach bundles of wire formed in a bundle formation chamber and at the same time the tightest possible packing of the wire turns in the bundle can be realized, with as simple as possible as well variable means.
  • the laying principle described can be used with rotating distribution systems, where the wire turns out of their centric Fall lines are placed eccentrically in the bundle chamber as also by rotating the bundle forming chamber for eccentrically falling ones Turns are generated.
  • the winding layer in front of the conveyor belt generates the winding repetition frequency f W from the ratio of the rolling speed V walz , the winding circumference D wind and its speed.
  • the number of wire turns N w which are placed in the circumference of the bundle forming chamber, results from the winding repetition frequency f w and the distribution frequency f V , for example the speed of the distribution system or the speed of the bundle forming chamber.
  • An embodiment of this method provides that the rotational speed the Bundsenthunt prefers periodic changes is subjected.
  • Another embodiment of the method provides that the speed profiles adjusted according to sine or sawtooth functions become. For example, there are also sawtooth-like courses variable slope steepness applicable.
  • Another embodiment of the method provides that the filing the wire turns in the bundle chamber or on a receiving element can be centric or eccentric.
  • eccentric Storage is a combination of different laying principles according to the invention.
  • the diameters of the individual turns can also be between one minimum and maximum value can be varied.
  • the limits result from the dimensions of the bundle chamber according to the Information according to claim 9.
  • An embodiment of the device provides that the drive of the Has internal mandrel means for changing the speed of rotation.
  • the speed can be changed both constantly and periodically his.

  • Friction between wire and wall can be avoided.
  • the speed as well the offset of the fret chamber to the fall line of the turns can be adjustable.
  • the wire windings are deposited here contactless, depending on the bundle formation speed and its Eccentricity. As a result, the bundle chamber occurs at higher speeds no problems, for example due to touch and / or flying sparks due to friction between the distribution system and the wire turns on.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a bundle forming chamber 2 with an internal mandrel 1 and an approximately radially oriented guide 3 arranged thereon. This causes the individual windings 5 to be eccentrically deposited in the bundling chamber 2 with an angular offset to one another.
  • eccentricity and angular misalignment ⁇ can be varied in accordance with the speed of rotation of the inner mandrel 1 in relation to the rolling speed of the wire or the number of turns 5 per second for an optimal bundle.

  • the diameter variation can advantageously take place by varying the rotational speed of the bundle forming chamber 2. Different speed profiles can be used. Periodic changes in speed are advantageous in order to obtain an evenly repeating winding deposit between two desired winding diameters, as is shown in a typical winding pattern in a top view of FIG. 6.
