Definitions

  • This invention relates to an arrangement for the processing of wire coils, for example for blast-cleaning or straightening wire.
  • a known arrangement consists in conducting the wire through a descaling chamber on a grooved roller which is fitted with concentrically disposed axially spaced discs for the reception between each two adjacent discs of one turn of the wire coil.
  • the particular difficulty which arises in the practical operation .of such a Wire descaling machine is that of disentangling the turns of the closely reeled coil and of pulling the wire out of the coil, turn by turn, in order to expand the coil axially to permit the blasting agent to reach every part of the wire. After having run through the blasting chamber the turns of wire must then be reclosed to reconstitute the coil.
  • the arrangement according to the invention provides a solution to such difficulties, in which means are provided for retaining one side of the turns of a wire coil which hangs on a feed shaft before the wire enters the associated processing machine, thereby the wire may be extracted from the coil continuously turn for turn, and damage to the processing machine is obviated.
  • the invention consists of a machine for processing wire coils of the type in which a Wire coil to be processed is suspended on a feed shaft and separated turns of the wire pass through a processing chamber on a grooved roller on which are fitted concentrically disposed axially spaced discs, each one turn of the said separated turns being situated between adjacent discs; in which a bar is provided at a point preceding the point of entry of wire into the processing chamber, the said bar being disposed obliquely in the path of turns of wire between a suspended coil of wire and the said point of entry.
  • Further bar or bars may be provided after the point of exit from' the treating chamber obliquely disposed in the path of treated wire between the said point of exit and a suspended coil undergoing reconstitution.
  • the said bar may be a roller bar, or may have one or more roller cylinders mounted thereon, or may itself be a roller.
  • the bar has the effect of allowing only one turn of wire from the coil to slide past at a time, and of retaining turns between the coil and the said bar. Since the turns of the coil that have been wound on the reel have a certain pitch the coil has a tendency to travel on the feed shaft, but is forced by the obliquely-disposed bar to travel in the direction contrary to that into the treating chamber. This permits the turns of wire to be disengaged and to be extracted one by one from the coil.
  • control means are provided for independently controlling the rotation of the grooved roller and of the feed or delivery shaft of the machine, whereby the speed of rotation there of may be altered or stopped.
  • control means may comprise drive means which rotate independently at controllable speed the feed shaft, the delivery shaft and the grooved roller.
  • the feed shaft and/or the delivery shaft may be releasably coupled to one end of the grooved roller.
  • the feed and delivery shafts may either be driven at the same speed as the grooved roller, or at a higher or lower speed, or be stopped.
  • the clutches may be engageable or disengageable during operation by remote control electromagnetically, pneumatically or hydraulically.
  • the feed and delivery shafts may be driven separately from the grooved roller, whereby the feeding of the individual turns from the wire coil into the treating chamber may be further controllable.
  • the bar(s) may be provided with at least one sleeve which concentrically and rotatably embraces the bar.
  • Preferably two axially adjacent sleeves may be provided, so that one can rotate on the bar in one direction and the other in the opposite direction, according to the relative movements of the wire against the said bar(s).
  • FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal elevation of the machine
  • FIGURE 2 is an end elevation of FIGURE 1, on a larger scale
  • FIGURE 3 is a portion of a longitudinal elevation of a similar but modified machine to FIGURE 1, and
  • FIGURE 4 is a portion of a longitudinal elevation of a similar machine having a different modification.
  • a grooved roller 3 fitted with concentrically disposed axial- I spaced discs 2 rotates in a blasting chamber 1 which i provided in conventional manner with means for the dmission of a blasting agent.
  • One turn 4 of an expanded fire coil 9 is received into the gap between each two djacent discs 2.
  • the grooved roller 3 is otatably mounted in bearings 12, whereas bearings 13 re provided for the said rotating countershaft 5.
  • Shafts 6 and 7 which project from the blasting chamer I, serve for the reception and delivery of the wire oils 9.
  • the shafts 6 and 7 are firmly connected to the rooved roller 3 and rotation is imparted thereto by drive means not shown in the drawing.
  • an obliquely disposed bar 8 reains one side of the turns 4 of the coil 9. The wire coil is thus forcibly expanded and the individual turns 4 onsecutively run into the blasting chamber without being lastically deformed.
  • the bar 8 For the purpose of reducing friction between the wire tIld the bar 8 the latter may be fitted with a sleeve 10 dapted to revolve about the longitudinal axis thereof.
  • a further and similar bar 8 is provided after the point If exit from the processing chamber, where the wire turns close up and re-form a coil 9 on the delivery shaft 7.
  • 11 wire straightening machines the provision of the second blique bar after the point of exit of the processing chamer is of course not required because the wire leaving a traightening machine is not recombined into a coil.
  • FIGURE 3 A further embodiment of the feeding device in wirerocessing machines is illustrated in FIGURE 3, which hows only one half of the machine, the other half, as vill be understood from FIGURE 1, being a mirror image f the first half, with the exception of the drive means as lereinafter described.
  • the grooved roller 3 in the machine tccording to FIGURE 3 is rotated by a motor 14 through transmission comprising a chain wheel 23, a chain 27 .nd a second chain wheel 26.
  • the ;rooved roller 3 is coaxially extended to form the feed haft 6, and at the delivery end which is not shown here is a corresponding extension forming the delivery haft.
  • a releasable clutch between the grooved roller 3 and the feed and delivery shafts 6 and 7 respectively or of separate drive means for the grooved roller 3 and the feed and delivery shafts 6 and 7, permits the feed and delivery shafts 6 and 7 to be rotated together with, and at the same speed as, the grooved roller 3, or at a higher or lower speed or in a completely stopped position.
  • the purpose of independent rotation of the grooved roller and of the feed and delivery shafts is to ensure a uniform withdrawal from the coil 9 and delivery of the wire turns into and from the treating chamber 1.
  • the arrangement according to the invention permits wire processing machines to be substantially automatically and continuously supplied with wire by an orderly withdrawal of the wire, turn for turn, from a wire coil and in the same way the wire leaving the machine can be reconstituted turn for turn to reform the coil.
  • the obliquely disposed bar 8 may be provided with a single concentric rotatable sleeve 10'.
  • the sleeve 10 may be divided and consist of two independently rotatable sleeve portions 20 and 21, so that the sleeve can rotate in one direction, and the sleeve 21 in the other direction.
  • a machine for processing wire coils of the type in which a wire coil to be processed is suspended on a feed shaft and separated turns of the wire coil pass to a processing chamber, in which a bar is provided at a point preceding the point of entry of wire into the processing chamber, the said bar being disposed obliquely in the path of turns of wire between the suspended coil of wire and the said point of entry in such sense as to urge said wire coil, propelled into contact therewith by said feed shaft, away from said bar in a direction contrary to that into the processing chamber whereby said turns of said wire coil become separated and are consecutively run into the processing chamber.
