Aus den Patentschriften DE-C2-29 34 439 bzw. DE-C2-29 54 521 sind Vorrichtungen zur Aufnahme und zum Abtransport von in einer Bundbildekammer gebildeten Drahtbunden bekannt. Jede dieser Vorrichtungen weist ein Drehgestell mit zur Senkrechten geneigter Drehachse auf, das mehrere in gleichem Umfangsabstand und im spitzen Winkel zur Drehachse angeordnete Aufnahmedorne so hält, daß sie in der Ladestation unterhalb der Bundbildekammer vertikal und im Bereich einer Übergabevorrichtung zu dieser hin schräg ausgerichtet sind. Die Übergabevorrichtung übernimmt jeweils einen Bund von einem Aufnahmedorn und übergibt diesen einer Fördervorrichtung, die mit Elementen zum Verschieben der Bundanlagenfläche der Dorne ausgestattet ist. Das Drehgestell ist für jeweils mehrere Aufnahmedorne als Draht- und Verlagerungsscheibe ausgebildet, deren Achse mit der Senkrechten einen Winkel kleiner 45 Grad und mit jeder Achse eines Aufnahmedorns einen spitzen Winkel bildet. Die Aufnahmedorne sind an der Drahtbund-Verlagerungsscheibe mit Hubeinrichtungen heb- und senkbar gelagert. Bei der Ausführung gemäß DE-C2-29 34 439 ist jeder Aufnahmedorn zusätzlich mit einer Aufspreizeinrichtung und mit jeweils einem diese betätigenden Einzelantrieb ausgebildet.From the patents DE-C2-29 34 439 and DE-C2-29 54 521 devices for receiving and transporting wire bundles formed in a bundle forming chamber are known. Each of these devices has a bogie with an axis of rotation inclined to the vertical, which holds several mandrels arranged at the same circumferential distance and at an acute angle to the axis of rotation so that they are aligned vertically in the charging station below the bundle forming chamber and in the area of a transfer device towards it. The transfer device takes over each a bundle of a mandrel and passes this to a conveyor, which is equipped with elements for moving the surface of the mandrel collar. The bogie is designed for each of several mandrels as a wire and displacement disc, the axis of which forms an angle of less than 45 degrees with the vertical and an acute angle with each axis of a mandrel. The mandrels are mounted on the wire collar shifting disc with lifting devices that can be raised and lowered. In the version according to DE-C2-29 34 439, each mandrel is additionally formed with a spreading device and each with an individual drive actuating it.

Die bekannten Vorrichtungen weisen eine Reihe von Nachteilen auf; so beanspruchen sie insbesondere eine große Bauhöhe mit Anordnung von Anlagenteilen in zwei Ebenen und benötigen hierfür umfangreiche Fundamente, zum großen Teil unter Hüttenflur in einer Fundamentgrube. Zum Abtransport der Bunde ist ein Gestell aus Stahlträgern in einer Ebene über Hüttenflur vorgesehen. Sowohl der Bundkippstuhl bzw. das Drehgestell mit der Bundübergabeeinrichtung und dem Transportsystem, als auch die zugehörigen Dreh-, Hub- und Fahreinrichtungen verursachen äußerst hohe Investitions- und Betriebskosten, insbesondere Energiekosten, sowie umfangreiche Wartungsdienste.The known devices have a number of disadvantages; For example, they require a large overall height with the arrangement of system parts on two levels and require extensive foundations for this, mostly under the hut floor in a foundation pit. A frame made of steel girders is provided on one level above the hut floor to remove the bundles. Both the coil tipping chair or the bogie with the coil transfer device and the transport system, as well as the associated rotating, lifting and driving devices cause extremely high investment and operating costs, in particular energy costs, as well as extensive maintenance services.

Der Erfindung liegt ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anlage mit einem Bundbilde- und Transportsystem der im Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruchs genannten Art signifikant zu vereinfachen und zu verbessern, um ohne Inanspruchnahme großer Bauhöhen bzw. mehrerer Arbeitsebenen sowie ohne umfangreiche Fundamente die Übergabe von Draht- oder Feinstahlbunden von einer Bundbildestation an eine Übergabestation und von dieser an Mittel zur überahme und zum Weitertransport in einer besonders wirtschaftlichen, übersichtlichen und flexiblen Art zu ermöglichen.Based on this prior art, the invention has for its object a system with a bundle forming and transport system which in the preamble of Significantly simplify and improve the type mentioned in the first claim, in order to transfer wire or fine steel coils from a coil forming station to a transfer station and from there to means for transfer and further transport in a particular way without using large construction heights or several working levels and without extensive foundations economic, clear and flexible way.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe gelingt mit der Erfindung dadurch, daß die Bundbildestation und die Übergabestation eine Einheit bilden und die Übergabestation einen an die Bundbildestation anschließbaren, vergleichsweise langgestreckten C-förmigen Haken mit einem Auffädeldorn und diesem zugeordnete Mittel zum Auffädeln und Verdichten der von der Bundbildestation dem Auffädeldorn aufgegebenen Draht- bzw. Feinstahlwindungen bzw. -bunde aufweist und der Haken mit Fahrmittein von der Übergabe- bzw. Beladestation zur Entladestation fahrbar ausgebildet ist.The object is achieved with the invention in that the bundle forming station and the transfer station form a unit and the transfer station has a comparatively elongated C-shaped hook which can be connected to the bundle forming station and has a threading mandrel and means associated therewith for threading and compacting that of the bundle forming station Has thread or fine steel coils or coils placed on the threading mandrel and the hook with the center of travel is designed to be movable from the transfer or loading station to the unloading station.

Gegenüber herkömmlichen Anlagen und Vorrichtungen der vorerwähnten Art ergeben sich mit der Erfindung wesentliche Vorteile; insbesondere die niedrige Bauhöhe und der Wegfall umfangreicher Fundamentbauten sowie einer unter Flur anzulegenden Fundamentgrube und die signifikante Vereinfachung des technischen Anlagenumfanges erbringen vorteilhaft eine drastische Reduzierung sowohl der Investitions- als auch der Betriebskosten. Der beim Stand der Technik erforderliche hohe maschinelle Aufwand entfällt, insbesondere der technisch aufwendige Bundkippstuhl mit dem nachgeordneten Transport- und Bundübergabesystem mit Transportmittein von einer tieferen Arbeitsebene auf eine höhere Arbeitsebene. Dadurch wird die Anlage nach der Erfindung übersichtlich, flexibel und erfordert kaum Wartungsdienste.Compared to conventional systems and devices of the aforementioned type, the invention offers significant advantages; In particular, the low overall height and the omission of extensive foundation structures, as well as a foundation pit to be built under the floor, and the significant simplification of the technical scope of the plant advantageously bring about a drastic reduction in both investment and operating costs. The state of the art The high level of mechanical effort required is eliminated, in particular the technically complex bundle tilting chair with the downstream transport and bundle transfer system with the center of transport from a lower working level to a higher working level. As a result, the system according to the invention is clear, flexible and requires hardly any maintenance services.

In Figur 1 ist eine Teilansicht einer Anlage mit einem Bundbilde- und Transportsystem für Draht und Feinstahl dargestellt, wobei das Ende einer Transporteinrichtung (1) für Drahtwindungen (20) mit einer Bundbildestation (3) und einer Übergabe- und Beladestation (4) gezeigt ist . Die Transporteinrichtung (1), beispielsweise eine Stelmor-Anlage, fördert Drahtwindungen (20) von einer nicht dargestellten Draht-Fertigstraße zu einem Bundbildeschacht (6), in dessen Innenraum sich ein Bundaufnahmedorn (7) befindet, der von Tragarmen (28) in seiner Position im Bundbildeschacht (6) gehalten ist.FIG. 1 shows a partial view of a plant with a coil forming and transport system for wire and fine steel, the end of a transport device (1) for wire windings (20) with a coil forming station (3) and a transfer and loading station (4) being shown . The transport device (1), for example a Stelmor system, conveys wire windings (20) from a wire finishing train (not shown) to a bundle forming shaft (6), in the interior of which there is a bundle mandrel (7) which is supported by support arms (28) in it Position in the bundle slot (6) is held.

Die Funktion dieser Tragarme (28) gestattet es, daß beispielsweise bei zurückgezogenen Tragarmen entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 1 Drahtwindungen (20) vom Bundaufnahmedorn (7) aufgenommen werden. Dabei fallen die Drahtwindungen auf die Spitze (22) des Auffädeldornes (11) des C-förmigen Hakens (10) im Bereich der Übergabestation (4). Wenn die Drahtwindungen einer Walzlänge vollständig vom C-Haken (10) aufgenommen sind, werden die Tragarme (28) eingeschwenkt, um den Bundaufnahmedorn (7) zu halten. Die Windungen der neuen Walzlänge können nun schon oberhalb der Tragarme (28) gesammelt werden, und zwar so lange, wie der beladene C-Haken (10) durch einen unbeladenen C-Haken (10) ersetzt wird. Dann werden die Tragarme (28) zurückgezogen, wobei sich der Bundaufnahmedorn (7) auf die Spitze (22) des Auffädeldornes (11) setzt. Die gesamte Walzlänge kann nun wieder von dem C-Haken (10) aufgenommen werden.The function of these support arms (28) allows wire windings (20) to be absorbed by the collar holding mandrel (7), for example when the support arms are retracted, as shown in FIG. 1. The wire turns fall on the tip (22) of the threading mandrel (11) of the C-shaped hook (10) in the area of the transfer station (4). When the wire windings of one roll length are completely absorbed by the C-hook (10), the support arms (28) are swiveled in to hold the mandrel (7). The turns of the new roll length can now be collected above the support arms (28), and for as long as the loaded C-hook (10) is replaced by an unloaded C-hook (10). Then the support arms (28) are withdrawn, the collar receiving mandrel (7) being seated on the tip (22) of the threading mandrel (11). The entire rolling length can now be taken up again by the C-hook (10).

Die Bundbildestation (3) und die mit dieser zusammenwirkende Übergabe- und Beladestation (4) bilden eine Einheit, wobei sich der vergleichsweise langgestreckte C-förmige Haken (10) mit seinem Auffädeldorn (11) und das diesem zugeordnete Mittel (13) zum Auffädeln und Verdichten der Draht- bzw. Feinstahlwindungen zu Bunden (20) unmittelbar an die Bundbildestation (3) anschließen bzw. in diese eingreifen.The bundle forming station (3) and the transfer and loading station (4) interacting with it form a unit, the comparatively elongated C-shaped hook (10) with its threading mandrel (11) and the means (13) associated with it for threading and Compress the wire or fine steel coils into bundles (20) and connect directly to the coil forming station (3).

Der Haken (10) ist mit Fahrmitteln (12) von der Übergabe- bzw. Beladestation (4) zu einer Entladestation (vgl. Ziffer 2, Fig. 4 und Fig. 5) in einer Ebene des Hüttenflurs (25) fahrbar ausgebildet und angeordnet. Zweckmäßigerweise hängt der Haken (10) mit einem Fahrwerk (12) an Schienen (14) und (15) gemäß Fig. 4 und 5. Diese Fahranordnung ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Anlagen deshalb vorteilhaft und problemlos zu verwirklichen, weil die Übergabe- bzw. Beladestation (3, 4) und die Entladestation (vgl. Ziffer 2, Fig. 4 und 5) in der gleichen Betriebsebene des Hüttenflurs (25) liegen.The hook (10) is designed and arranged to be movable with the means of travel (12) from the transfer or loading station (4) to an unloading station (cf. number 2, FIGS. 4 and 5) in one level of the hut hallway (25) . Appropriately, the hook (10) hangs with a chassis (12) on rails (14) and (15) according to FIGS. 4 and 5. This driving arrangement is advantageous and easy to implement in the system according to the invention, in contrast to conventional systems, because the Transfer or loading station (3, 4) and the unloading station (see section 2, Fig. 4 and 5) are in the same operating level of the hut hallway (25).

Eine Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 und 2 zeigt, daß die Mittel (13) zum Auffädeln und/oder Verdichten von Draht- oder Feinstahlwindungen (20) radial um den Auffädeldorn (11) sowie in Richtung entlang des Auffädeldorns (11) verlaufend angeordnete Stütz- und Transportbahnen (13a, 13b) mit endlos um je eine Antriebs- (18) und Umlenkrolle (19) umlaufenden Ketten (16) sind.A synopsis of Figures 1 and 2 shows that the means (13) for threading and / or compacting wire or fine steel windings (20) radially around the threading mandrel (11) and in the direction along the threading mandrel (11) arranged supporting and Transport tracks (13a, 13b) with chains endlessly rotating around one drive (18) and one deflection roller (19) (16) are.

Figur 2 zeigt weiter, daß dem Haken (10) bzw. dessen Auffädeldorn (11) im Bereich der Übergabe- bzw. Beladestation (3) vorzugsweise zwei in radialer Position unterhalb des Hakens (10) angeordnete absenkbare Stütz- und Transportbahnen (13a) und (13b) zugeordnet sind, wobei allerdings auch weitere Transportbahnen, gegebenenfalls auch seitlich des Hakens (10) in Wirkungsverbindung mit den Drahtwindungen (20), vorgesehen sein können.Figure 2 further shows that the hook (10) or its threading mandrel (11) in the area of the transfer or loading station (3) preferably two in the radial position below the hook (10) arranged lowerable support and transport tracks (13a) and (13b) are assigned, although further transport paths, if appropriate also to the side of the hook (10) in operative connection with the wire windings (20), can also be provided.

Ein in der Figur 3 dargestelltes Detail eines Fördermittels (13) zum Auffädeln von Drahtbunden (20) zeigt, daß die Kette (16) mit losen Rollen (24) bestückt ist, durch die die Drahtbunde (20) schonend auf den Dorn (11) des Hakens (10) aufgeschoben und verdichtet werden, ohne daß sich die Kette (16) mit den Drahtbunden (20) verhaken kann, wodurch eine verschleißfreie und schonende Arbeitsweise der Ketten (13) gewährleistet ist.A detail of a conveying means (13) for threading wire bundles (20) shown in FIG. 3 shows that the chain (16) is equipped with loose rollers (24), by means of which the wire bundles (20) are gently on the mandrel (11). of the hook (10) can be pushed on and compressed without the chain (16) catching on the wire bundles (20), which ensures wear-free and gentle operation of the chains (13).

In Figur 4 ist ein Lay-Out einer Anlage mit einem Bundbilde- und Transportsystem für Draht und Feinstahl in schematischer Draufsicht dargestellt. Die Anlage zeigt die Bundbildestation (3) mit integrierter Übergabe- bzw. Beladestation (4) in einem geschlossenen Schienenweg (14, 15, 14a, 15a) mit darin fahrbar angeordneten Haken (10). Dabei sind die Streckenabschnitte (14, 14a) für den Quertransport des Hakens (10) und die Streckenabschnitte (15, 15a) für den Längstransport vorgesehen. Die Anlage weist innerhalb des Schienenweges (14, 15; 14a, 15a) weiterhin eine Bundpresse (5) und eine Entladestation (2) auf. Zwischen der Übergabestation (4) und der Entladestation (2) bzw. Bundpresse (5) kann zweckmäßigerweise eine Pufferstrecke (9) für beladene Haken (10a) vorgesehen sein. Weiterhin gibt es eine Vorratsstrecke (8) für leere C-Haken (10). Der Schienenweg bildet mit den aneinander anschließenden Streckenteilen (14, 14a) für Quertransport und (15, 15a) für Längstransport einen in sich ringförmig geschlossenen Transportweg.FIG. 4 shows a layout of a system with a coil forming and transport system for wire and fine steel in a schematic plan view. The system shows the bundle forming station (3) with an integrated transfer station or loading station (4) in a closed rail path (14, 15, 14a, 15a) with hooks (10) which can be moved therein. The route sections (14, 14a) are provided for the transverse transport of the hook (10) and the route sections (15, 15a) for the longitudinal transport. The facility points within the rail track (14, 15; 14a, 15a) also a collar press (5) and an unloading station (2). A buffer section (9) for loaded hooks (10a) can expediently be provided between the transfer station (4) and the unloading station (2) or bundle press (5). There is also a supply section (8) for empty C-hooks (10). The rail track forms with the adjoining track parts (14, 14a) for transverse transport and (15, 15a) for longitudinal transport a self-contained transport path.

In der Figur 5 ist eine besonders platzgünstige Ausführung einer Anlage mit einem Bundbilde- und Transportsystem für Draht und Feinstahl gezeigt. Dem Streckenteil (14) für Quertransport sind dabei zwei oder mehrere Bundbildestationen (3, 3a) sowie Übergabe- und Beladestationen (4 bzw. 4a) zugeordnet. Zum Anschluß der fallweise versetzt angeordneten Stationen (3, 3a; 4, 4a) sind (nicht gezeigte) Längsverschiebemittel für die C-förmigen Aufnahmehaken (10, 10a) sowie für die mit diesen zusammenwirkenden Mittel (13) zum Auffädeln bzw. Verdichten der Windungen zu Bunden vorgesehen. Bei einer so ausgebildeten Anlage kann beispielsweise eine Bundbildestation (3) mit einer Beladestation (4) für Draht und fallweise eine andere Bundbildestation (3a) mit einer Beladestation (4a) für Feinstahl, wie beispielsweise Rundstahl etc. vorgesehen sein. Dadurch, daß die Bundpresse- (5) und Entladestation (2) seitlich versetzt neben den Schienenwegen (14, 15, 14a, 15a) angeordnet sind, ergibt sich bei kleinstem Platzbedarf der gesamten Anlage ein äußerst wirtschaftlicher Betrieb zwischen Beladung und Entladung der C-förmigen Haken (10) mit vergleichsweise hohen Durchsatzraten. Damit wird eine betriebliche Flexibilität erreicht, die sich sehr vorteilhaft von den erheblich begrenzteren betrieblichen Möglichkeiten herkömmlicher Anlagen unterscheidet. Aus der Beschreibung sowie aus den Zeichnungen geht hervor, daß die für den Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage benötigten technischen Mittel nur einen geringen Teil derjenigen Mittel beanspruchen, die z. B. bei den vorerwähnten herkömmlichen Anlagen im Einsatz erforderlich sind.FIG. 5 shows a particularly space-saving design of a system with a coil forming and transport system for wire and fine steel. Two or more bundle forming stations (3, 3a) and transfer and loading stations (4 and 4a) are assigned to the section (14) for transverse transport. For the connection of the stations (3, 3a; 4, 4a), which are occasionally staggered, are longitudinal displacement means (not shown) for the C-shaped receiving hooks (10, 10a) and for the means (13) interacting with them for threading or compacting the turns provided to bundles. In a system designed in this way, for example, a coil forming station (3) with a loading station (4) for wire and occasionally another coil forming station (3a) with a loading station (4a) for fine steel, such as round steel etc., can be provided. The fact that the collar press (5) and unloading station (2) are laterally offset next to the rail tracks (14, 15, 14a, 15a), results in the smallest Space requirement of the entire system is an extremely economical operation between loading and unloading the C-shaped hooks (10) with comparatively high throughput rates. This achieves operational flexibility that differs very advantageously from the considerably more limited operational possibilities of conventional systems. From the description and from the drawings it can be seen that the technical means required for the operation of the system according to the invention only require a small part of those means which, for. B. are required in use in the aforementioned conventional systems.
