  • the winding method consists mainly in maintaining continuously the wire under tension, between the spool being wound and the supply spool or between this latter and the clamping device.
  • This method comprises particularly the following operations:
  • the winding itself has a rotation of the spindle and of the counter-spindle together with the reciprocal displacement of the wire-guide which is controlled by the rotation of the spindle. Then the spindle is constituted on a core of the counter-spindle between the cheeks of the spindle and of the counterspindle. The number of turns of the spindle corresponds to the number of turns of the spool.
  • the winding machine comprises a base 1 on which are mounted different elements of the machine.
  • a spindle 2 is driven in rotation by an electrical step by step motor.
  • a counter-spindle 4 is also rotative, but driven in rotation by the spindle 2.
  • This counter-spindle comprises a core 5 emerging from a cheek 6. This core 5 as well as this cheek 6 are displacable linearly axially of the counter-spindle either together or separately.
  • the winding machine comprises further a wire-guide 7 able to be displaced parallel to the axes of the spindle and of the counter-spindle as well as perpendicularly to this direction.
  • the reciprocal displacements parallel to the axis of the spindle of the wire-guide 7 are controlled by the rotation of the spindle in order to distribute adequately the turns of this spool.
  • the machine comprises further a supply spool for the wire 8, a tension device for this wire as well as an electronic digital control causing according to a determinated sequence the different operations of the winding cycle.
  • the spindle is terminated by a cheek 9 the central bore 10 of which is intended to receive the core 5 of the counter-spindle.
  • the cheek 9 of the spindel comprises further a groove 13 for the introduction of the wire permitting one to lead the wire to be wound up to the core 5 to constitute the first wire without being in the way thereafter of the formation of the spool and particularly without hindering the flatness of the flank which is in contact with the cheek 9 of the spindle.
  • the cheek 9 is fastened with a cam 14 for the introduction of the wire into a clamping device of this wire.
  • This cam has the shape of a plate of circular shape provided with a cut out 15 forming a beak 16.
  • a sleeve 17 sliding axially on the spindle is guided by pins l8, 19, 20 and subjected to the action of a spring tending to displace it against the rear face of the cam 14.
  • the frontal face of this sleeve 17 defines with the rear face of the cam 14 a slot of varying thickness.
  • the frontal face of this sliding sleeve 17 comprises, located between the pins 19 and 20 a clamping pad 21 intended to enter in contact with the rear face of the cam 14 and to clamp the wire to be wound.
  • This frontal face of the sleeve 17 carries further a knife 22, located between the pins 18 and 19, intended to cut the wire which comes to rest against the rear face of the cam 14.
  • this knife 22 is however retracted with respect to the frontal face of the pad 21, which is of resilient material, when this pad is not compressed.
  • the wire is first clamped by the pad 21 before it is cut by the knife 22.
  • the pins 18, 19 and 20 define resting surfaces for the wire which comes to be wound around them.
  • the last pin 20 is provided with a helicoidal slot 23 one to guide the wire through a notch 24 of the cam 14 to have this wire come out between this cam and the sleeve.
  • This new winding may be made once the extraction of the terminated spool has been made.
  • the counter-spindle is displaced towards the right (FIG. 5) separating the first spool from the check 9 of the spindle, then the core 5 is retracted within the counter-spindle and finally an ejection lever 26 ejects the spool which may eventually stick against the cheek 6 of the counter-spindle.
  • These movements of the counter-spindle are controlled by the numerical con trol pneumatically, mechanically or hydraulicly.
  • the distance between the two beaks of the wire-guide must be determinated with great precision. In fact to insure a good winding it is necessary that the wire is guided with the smallest clearance in its guide however with wires of a few microns in diameter it is necessary to avoid any clamping which would cause rupture of this wire.
  • FIGS. 9 The embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and is an improvement of the embodiment described and concerns mainly the realization of the spindle of the winding machine described.
  • the winding machine comprises thus a rotative spindle 31 the front end of which comprises a cheek 32 defining with the cheek 33 of the counter-spindle 34.
  • the counter-spindle 34 is axially displacable with respect to the winding machine while the core is axially displacable with respect to the counter-spindle to allow the evacuation of a terminated spool 37.
  • the cheek 32 is fastened on the hollow axis 31 of the spindle by means of a screw 38 and can thus be easily exchanged when one has to change from one type of fabrication of this spool to another. Tightened between the shoulder 39 of the core of the cheek 32 and the end of the hollow axis 31 is a cam 40 which is fixedly secured to the cheek 32 and to the hollow axis 31 and revolves thus together with these two elements.
  • This cam 40 presents two radial notches 41, and 41a and its hub comprises a turning 42 and a cutting surface 43.
  • An 0- ring 44 is located on the turning 42.
  • the cutting device of the wire comprises a sleeve 45 sliding without play on the hollow axis to which it is keyed in order to insure its driving rotation by means ofa pin 46 the inside end of which is located in a longitudinal groove 47 provided in the periphery of the hollow shaft 31.
  • This sleeve is terminated at its rear end by a flange 48 and at its front end by a cutting edge 49 which is circular intended to cooperate with the cutting surface 43 carried by the hub of the cam 40.
  • This sleeve 45 is submitted to the action of the spring 50 tending to displace it in direction of the cutting surface 43.
  • the clamping device of the wire comprises a second sleeve 51, sliding axially on the sleeve 45 and subjected to a spring 52 tending to displace it towards the O-ring 44.
  • This sleeve 51 presents a longitudinal slot 53 in which is the outside end of the pin 46.
  • This pin is coupled to the sleeve 45 for its driving in rotation but is able to effectuate axial displacement with respect to the hollow shaft 31.
  • the spring 52 is stronger than the spring 50 so that in the rest position shown, the fore end of the sleeve 51 is applied in its clamping position of the wire against the O-ring 44 while the sleeve 45 is maintained in rear inoperative position.
  • the machine comprises further a control member of the axial displacements of the sleeves 45, 51 between themselves and with respect to the hollow shaft 31.
  • This control member is constituted by a support 54 displacable parallel to the spindle 31 under the action of a control device of the machine.
  • the support comprises an actuating finger 55 located rearwardly from the flange 48 and roller bearing 56 located forwardly of the flange 48, this finger and this roller bearing being adapted to enter in contact with the said flange 48.
  • the machine comprises further an extractor of the wire constituted by the finger 57 radially displacable with respect to the spindle and which may come to place itself in active position within a groove of the cheek 32.
  • the core 36 After ejection of a terminated spool, the core 36 is displaced towards the left with respect to the counterspindle in order to emerge from the check 33 and the counter-spindle is displaced towards the spindle up to its illustrated position in which the space located between the two cheeks 32 and 33 corresponds to the width of the spool to be realized.
  • the core 36 penetrates into the central opening of the check 32.
  • the wire-guide (not shown) is placed in winding starting position in such a manner that the wire present itself as indicated on the drawing, the end of this wire being firmly maintained by the clamping device of the wire.
  • the extractor is then withdrawn radially towards the outside up to its inoperative position.
  • the spindle and the counter-spindle are then rotated a number of turns corresponding to the number of turns of the spool to be manufactured less one and are then again stopped.
  • the support 54 is displaced towards the left which causes the entering in contact of the roller bearing 56 with the flange 48 and the displacement of the sleeve 45 and thus of the second sleeve 51 against the action of the spring 50. This causes the liberation of the starting wire of the spool clamped between the frontal face of the sleeve 51 and the O-ring 44.
  • the spindle makes the last turn during which the extractor 57 is set in active position within the groove of the cheek 32 and causes the extraction of the starting wire of the spool out of the clamping device of this wire.
  • the wire guide is then displaced towards the left, that is in direction of the clamping device of the wire, and the spindle makes one additional revolution, outside of the spool, in the space formed by the displacement towards the left in the position shown in the drawing, and the sleeves 45 and 51 come back into the position illustrated which permits the clamping of the wire which will be used for the next spool in the device 44, 51.
  • the wire-guide is displaced towards the right, the wire passing through the cam through the notch 41 to come in winding starting position.
  • the support 54 is displaced towards the fore end of the spindle and the finger 55 enters in contact with the flange 48 causing the advance of the sleeve 51 against the action of the spring 52, the pin 48 displacing in its groove 53.
  • the cutting edge 49 enters in contact with the cutting surface 43 and the wire is cut.
  • the support 54 comes thereafter back to its middle position which is a rest position shown as well as the sleeve 51.
  • the counter-spindle is taken away from the spindle and the core 36 is retracted within the counter-spindle 34 causing thus the evacuation of the spool which is terminated.
  • the cutting position is not opposed with respect to the wire-guide, to give a different length to the output wires of the lower layer than the input wire of the immediately superposed layer which permits one to differentiate them. Therefore it suffices that the cutting edge 49 of the sleeve 45 be interrupted on a portion of its p'eriphery, the remaining portion being not diametrally opposed to the wire-guide.
