Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tape winding device according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for fixing a portion of a tape that can be melted by the application of heat at least on one surface to a part of the tape that has already been wound around a spool.
  • a tape winding device for winding a tape on a spool is for example from the document WO 2004/101415 A1 known.
  • the tape winding device comprises a traversing device, by means of which the tape can be wound evenly onto the spool.
  • the object is achieved by developing a tape winding device mentioned at the outset in accordance with the characterizing features of claim 1 and by developing a tape winding method mentioned at the outset according to the characterizing features of claim 13.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.
  • the tape winding device comprises a tape fastening device which is designed to introduce thermal energy into a heating section of the tape.
  • This heating section of the tape lies in a part of the tape fed to the spool which has not yet been wound around the spool or is just being wound on the spool, or already in part, e.g. over an angle of 30 degrees, is wound on the spool.
  • ribbon also includes fibers, filaments or threads.
  • the thermal energy introduced into the tape by the tape fastening device heats the tape in the above-mentioned heating section at least partially on the surface to such an extent that the tape melts on its surface and sticks to a part of the tape that has already been wound around the spool.
  • the heating section of the strip into which the thermal energy is introduced is preferably set such that the spool is filled to the fullest possible before the strip is subjected to thermal energy in said heating section and is fixed to the part of the strip already wound around the spool. This has the advantage that the heating section of the tape can be attached to the part of the tape that is already wrapped around the spool without further adhesive and without manual labor, and the spool is thus easier to handle for further use. Since the tape in the heating section is preferably only melted on the surface, the tape in said heating section can easily be detached from the part of the tape that has already been wound around the spool if necessary.
  • the strap fastening device is advantageously formed by a heating element or by electrodes for generating at least electrical sparks.
  • Thermal energy is advantageously introduced into the tape by means of the tape fastening device, if this is formed by a heating element, at a distance from the spool.
  • the spool is rotated further during or after the introduction of thermal energy into the tape by the spool drive, as a result of which the heating section of the tape, which is acted upon and thereby melted, comes into contact with and adheres to the part of the tape already wound on the spool. If the spool continues to rotate during the supply of thermal energy, the length of the melted heating section can be changed depending on how long the thermal energy is applied to the strip.
  • This has the advantage that the tape end over an adjustable length with the top on the spool tape layer can be connected, whereby the strength of the connection can be varied.
  • the said heating section of the strip end into which the thermal energy is introduced is preferably selected to be very short in order to be able to easily detach the strip end again.
  • the heating section of the tape is advantageously located during the introduction of thermal energy by the tape fastening device in a working area in which the tape fed to the spool is just being wound onto the spool or up to a certain wrap area, e.g. of 30 degrees related to the end of the tape, is already wound on the spool.
  • the thermal energy can be precisely metered into the work area, which ensures precise welding without damaging the strip. This has the advantage that reproducible spools with high quality can be produced without damage to the tape and with exactly the same amount of tape.
  • coils of high quality can also be produced in the case of a tape fastening device comprising a heating element, the introduction of the thermal energy being not as precisely controllable as in the case of a tape fastening device comprising an electrode.
  • the tape winding device advantageously has a tape cutting device with which the tape fed to the spool can be severed.
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a tape winding device 1 according to the invention in a simplified perspective view.
  • the tape winding device 1 is designed to wind a tape 3 onto a reel 3, in particular a single-layer or multi-layer plastic tape or a composite material tape, at least one layer of the plastic tape or a material of the composite material tape comprising a thermoplastic plastic.
  • the spool 3 is essentially formed only by a cylindrical spool core, on which a large number of layers of tape are wound.
  • the tape winding device 1 has a motorized spool drive 4, which drives the spool 3 in a rotating manner in order to wind the tape 2 onto the spool 3.
  • the coil drive 4 is formed by an electric or pneumatic motor, the coil drive 4 and the coil 3 being coupled directly or via an intermediate gear.
  • the tape winding device 1 has a tape fastening device formed by a heating element 5.
  • the heating element 5 is designed to introduce thermal energy into the band 2 by bringing the heating element 5 into or out of contact with the band 2 fed to the coil 3.
  • the heating element 5 is preferably an electrical heating element, e.g. an electrically heated heating cartridge. However, there is also the option of heating the heating cartridge with a flame.
  • the heating element 5 can also be designed as a wire that can be heated electrically or by means of a flame.
  • the heating element 5 is positioned in a working area 9, which is spaced from the coil 3 in this embodiment.
  • the distance of the working area 9 from the coil 3 is chosen, but the working area 9 should preferably be as close as possible to the coil 3.
  • the heating element 5 is expediently positioned in relation to the coil 3 in such a way that the band 2 in the working area 9 automatically comes into contact with the heating element 5 when the coil 3 is full due to the coil diameter changing depending on the filling state of the coil 3, and thus thermal energy introduces a heating section 11 of the band 2.
  • This has the advantage that the tape winding device 1 can be constructed in a very simple and cost-effective manner and that coils 3 with the same filling state can be produced in a recurring manner.
  • the heating element 5 is brought into contact with or out of contact with the band 2 in the work area 9 manually or driven by an actuator in order to introduce thermal energy into the heating section 11 of the band 2 within a defined period of time.
  • the actuator can be formed, for example, by an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic linear drive or a rotary drive.
  • the actuator and / or the heating element 5 is advantageously controlled by a control computer, such as a microcontroller or a PLC.
  • the coil 3 is driven further by the coil drive 4, while the heating element 5 is in contact with the strip 2 in the working area 9.
  • This provides the advantage that the heating section 11 can be selected to be of any length, regardless of a movement of the heating element 5. The longer the surface-melted heating section 11 is, the greater is the adhesive length with which the strips 2 lying next to one another adhere to one another.
  • the coil 3 is stationary or is driven only very slowly in relation to a movement of the heating element 5, as long as the heating element 5 is in contact with the band 2 in the working area 9.
  • the heating section 11 is very short.
  • the reel 3 is at a standstill, after the heating section 11 has melted, it is rotated again by the heating element 5 in order to further wind the tape 2 onto the reel 3, as a result of which the heating section 11 comes into contact with parts 10 of the tape 2 which have already been wound onto the reel 3 and attached to it.
  • the heating element 5 cuts the strip 2 in the heating section 11.
  • An end of the strip 2 that is created in this way is fixed to the part 10 of the strip 2 wound at least once around the coil 3 by rotating the coil 3 or by gravity.
  • the heating element 5 when the spool 3 is driven, in a first step the heating element 5 is only slightly pressed onto the band 2 in the working area 9 in order to melt a heating section 11 of the band superficially over a certain length, and then the heating element 5 is firmer is pressed against the band 2 in order to cut the band 2 by means of melting.
  • FIG 2 shows a second embodiment of the tape winding device 6 according to the invention in a simplified perspective view.
  • Elements corresponding to the elements of the tape winder 1 Figure 1 same, are provided with the same reference numerals; for an explanation, reference is made to the above description.
  • the tape winding device 6 comprises a tape fastening device formed by electrodes 7.
  • the electrodes 7 are arranged at a distance from one another, an insulator 14 being arranged between the electrodes 7 and consisting of a non-conductive material.
  • the electrodes 7 are designed to generate electrical sparks 8.
  • the insulator 14 prevents an electrical spark 8 generated from taking the shortest path between the electrodes 7.
  • the isolator 14 forces the spark 8 to take the second best route around the isolator 14.
  • the thermal energy generated by the spark 8 can be introduced directly into the band 2 in a working area 9, the insulator 14 in the working area 9 having to be brought very close to the band 2, as a result of which the spark 8 penetrates through the band 2 and the thermal energy is precisely entered in volume 2.
  • the band 2 is fixed in a heating section 11, which in this case is only the size of a welding spot, to a part 10 of the band 2 wound around the spool 3. See also in particular Figure 3 ,
  • the introduction of the thermal energy by means of the spark 8 has the advantage that the thermal energy can be introduced into the strip 2 in a very dosed, efficient and precise manner without the strip 2 being damaged.
  • the electrodes 7 are advantageously fastened in relation to the coil 3 in such a way that the band 2 in the working area 9 when the coil 3 is full automatically comes within range of the electrodes 7 due to the coil diameter which changes as a function of a filling state of the coil 3, and by means of the spark 8 thermal energy into the heating section 11 of the band 2 and to fasten the heating section 11 of the band to the part 10 of the band 2 which has already been wound onto the spool 3 by means of the welding spot which arises.
  • This has the advantage that an actuator for moving the electrodes 8 can be dispensed with.
  • the electrodes 7 are positioned manually or driven by an actuator in relation to the heating section 11 in such a way that sufficient thermal energy can be applied by means of the spark 8 in order to heat the heating section 11 of the band 2 by means of a welding spot on the surface To fasten coil 3 wound part 10 of tape 2.
  • the actuator can be formed, for example, by an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic linear drive or a rotary drive.
  • the tape winding device preferably has a control computer, in particular a PLC or a microcontroller, which is connected to the electrodes 7 and controls the formation of the electrical sparks 8 and the introduction of the thermal energy produced in the tape 2.
  • the control computer advantageously selects the heating section 11, into which the spark 8 is introduced, as a function of at least one of the above parameters.
  • the heating section 11 is advantageously fixed simply by determining a point in time when the spark is introduced into the strip 2.
  • the tape winding device 6 has a tape cutting device 15, which is designed to cut the tape 2 after or before attaching the heating section 11 of the tape 2 to the part 10 of the tape 2 which has already been wound around the reel 3.
  • the band 2 is advantageously severed at a distance from the heating section 11.
  • a protrusion 13 is formed between the heating section 11 and an end 12 of the band 2 that arises during cutting. This has the advantage that the end 12 is immediately visible and that the tape 2 can be easily gripped on the protrusion 13.
  • the protrusion 13 is advantageous in this way chosen that this can be easily gripped, but there is still no risk that the protrusion 13 gets caught on other elements when handling or transporting the coil 3.
  • the protrusion 13 can be used to easily detach the heating section 11 of the strip 2 from the part 10 of the strip 2 that has already been wound around the spool 3.
  • the protrusion is advantageously about 3cm long.
  • the coil 3 advantageously stands still during the introduction of thermal energy by means of the spark 8 into the band 2 in the heating section 11. But there is also the possibility that the coil 3 rotates at least slowly.
  • Figure 3 shows the second embodiment of the tape winding device 6 according to the invention Figure 2 in a side view during the introduction of thermal energy by means of a spark 8 in the working area 9 in the band 2.
