Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verschwenken eines Drehrahmens, der mindestens eine Umlenkwalze für eine laufende Bahn trägt, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for pivoting a rotating frame, the at least one guide roller for a running web carries, according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Aus der DE 31 25 852 C1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Führung von laufenden Materialbahnen bekannt, die von einem Drehrahmen gebildet ist, an dem zwei Walzen drehbar abgestützt sind. Der Drehrahmen weist hierzu bogenförmige Führungsbahnen auf, die mit Rollen zusammenwirken, die in einem stationären Rahmen gehalten sind. Die bogenförmigen Führungsbahnen weisen dabei einen gemeinsamen Krümmungsmittelpunkt auf, der die Drehachse des Drehrahmens bildet. Damit läßt sich durch eine entsprechende Ausrichtung der Führungsbahnen die Drehachse des Drehrahmens in weiten Grenzen verschieben. Insbesondere ist es mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung möglich, die Drehachse des Drehrahmens an den Auflaufpunkt der Warenbahn auf die erste Walze zu verlagern, wodurch sich eine besonders günstige Bahnlaufbeeinflussung ergibt. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung hat sich zwar in der Praxis bewährt, sie hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß die Führungsbahnen zur Bildung einer klemmfreien Drehbewegung sehr genau aufeinander ausgerichtet werden müssen, was insbesondere bei großen Drehrahmen schwierig durchzuführen ist.From DE 31 25 852 C1 is a device for guiding known by running webs of material from a Rotating frame is formed, rotatably supported on the two rollers are. The rotating frame has arcuate for this purpose Guideways interacting with rollers in a stationary frame are held. The arcuate Guideways have a common center of curvature on, which forms the axis of rotation of the rotary frame. This can be achieved by an appropriate orientation the guideways the axis of rotation of the rotating frame in wide Move boundaries. In particular, it is with this known device possible, the axis of rotation of the rotary frame at the feed point of the web on the first roller to relocate, resulting in a particularly favorable Web guiding influence results. This known device has proven itself in practice, but it has the Disadvantage that the guideways to form a jam-free Rotational motion aligned very precisely need to be, especially for large swivel frames difficult to perform.

Aus der DE-A-32 12 176 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Verschwenken eines Drehrahmens mit mehreren Umlenkwalzen für eine laufende Warenbahn bekannt. Dieser Drehrahmen ist über ein Drehlager schwenkbar in einem Gestell abgestützt, wobei die Warenbahn nahe der Schwenkachse des Drehlagers geführt ist.From DE-A-32 12 176 is a device for pivoting a rotating frame with several guide rollers for a running web known. This rotating frame is supported by a pivot bearing in a frame, the web near the pivot axis of the Swivel bearing is guided.

Aus der DE-A-38 35 315 ist ein Segmentlager für Schwenkbewegungen bekannt, das von zwei Lagerschalen gebildet ist. Zwischen beiden Lagerschalen sind Wälzkörper gehalten, über die die Lagerkräfte reibungsarm übertragen werden.From DE-A-38 35 315 is a segment bearing for pivotal movements known, formed by two bearing shells is. Rolling elements are held between the two bearing shells, over which the bearing forces are transmitted with low friction.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei ungehindertem Bahnlauf ein Verschwenken des Drehrahmens gestattet und einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The invention is based on the object, a device of the type mentioned above, the unhindered Web run a pivoting of the rotating frame allowed and easy and inexpensive to produce.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. This object is achieved according to the invention with the features of Patent claim 1 solved.

Die Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 weist einen Drehrahmen auf, der mindestens eine Umlenkwalze für eine laufende Bahn trägt. Je nach Lage der Schwenkachse des Drehrahmens zur laufenden Warenbahn führt die Umlenkwalze zu einer seitlichen Verlagerung oder zu einer Spannungsänderung der Warenbahn. Um eine möglichst einfache und schnell reagierende Bahnlauf- oder Bahnspannungsregelung zu erzielen, wird angestrebt, daß die Schwenkachse des Drehlagers möglichst nahe am Auflaufpunkt der Warenbahn zur Umlenkwalze liegt. Um zu verhindern, daß der Bahnlauf durch das Drehlager des Drehrahmens behindert wird, ist dieses als segmentartig zugeschnittenes Wälzlager ausgebildet, welches gegeneinander drehbare Lagerschalen aufweist. Die Lage des Schnittes durch das Wälzlager wird vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß die Warenbahn dicht über der durch das Wälzlager verlaufenden Schnittfläche geführt ist. Das Wälzlager bietet außerdem den Vorteil einer besonders reibungsarmen Drehlagerung, da lediglich Rollreibung zwischen den Wälzelementen und den Laufbahnen der gegeneinander drehbaren Lagerschalen auftritt. Grundsätzlich kann jedes bekannte Wälzlager eingesetzt werden, wobei insbesondere an Kugel-, Zylinder-, Nadel-, Kegel- und Tonnenlager gedacht ist. Vorzugsweise wird ein in großen Stückzahlen und damit kostengünstig hergestelltes Standard-Wälzlager eingesetzt, welches segmentartig zugeschnitten ist, um den Bahnlauf nicht zu behindern. The device according to claim 1 has a rotating frame on, the at least one guide roller for a running Railway carries. Depending on the position of the pivot axis of the rotating frame to the running web, the guide roller leads to a lateral displacement or to a voltage change the web. To get as simple and fast to achieve a responsive web or web tension control, is sought that the pivot axis of the pivot bearing as close as possible to the feed point of the web to the guide roller lies. To prevent the web through the pivot bearing of the revolving frame is obstructed, this is designed as a segment-like cut rolling bearing, which has mutually rotatable bearing shells. The location of the section through the rolling bearing is preferably chosen so that the web closely above the through the rolling bearing extending cutting surface is guided. The Rolling also offers the advantage of a special low-friction pivot bearing, since only rolling friction between the rolling elements and the raceways of each other rotatable bearing shells occurs. Basically Each known rolling bearing can be used, in particular at ball, cylinder, needle, cone and barrel bearings thought is. Preferably one is in large numbers and thus inexpensively manufactured standard bearings used, which cut segmentally is not to hinder the web course.

Die Lagerschalen des Wälzlagers sind durch mindestens ein Haltemittel gehalten. Um das Haltemittel präzise gegenüber dem Wälzlager ausrichten zu können, ist dieses an einem Exzenter verstellbar gehalten. Damit läßt sich durch einfaches Verdrehen des Exzenters eine sehr präzise Ausrichtung des Haltemittels zum Wälzlager erzielen. Insbesondere kann das Haltemittel in Form eines Gleitteils oder einer drehbaren Rolle auch sehr einfach nachgestellt werden, falls dies durch Abnutzungserscheinungen während des Betriebs erforderlich sein sollte.The bearing shells the rolling bearing are held by at least one holding means. To the holding means precisely against the rolling bearing to align, this is an eccentric kept adjustable. This can be done by simple Turning the eccentric a very precise alignment achieve the holding means to the rolling bearing. Especially The holding means in the form of a sliding part or a rotatable roller also very easy be readjusted if this is due to wear and tear should be required during operation.

Soll die Vorrichtung zur seitlichen Verlagerung der Warenbahn eingesetzt werden, so läuft die Warenbahn im allgemeinen in Richtung der Schwenkachse des Drehrahmens auf die Umlenkwalze auf. In diesem Fall ist es gemäß Anspruch 2 vorteilhaft, wenn das Wälzlager des Drehrahmens durch einen in etwa axialen Schnitt zugeschnitten ist. Damit ist die Schnittfläche durch das Wälzlager in etwa parallel zur laufenden Warenbahn ausgerichtet, so daß ein den Einbauverhältnissen entsprechend größtmöglicher Anteil des Wälzlagers zur Abstützung radialer Lagerkräfte zur Verfügung steht.If the device for lateral displacement of the web are used, the web runs in general in the direction of the pivot axis of the rotating frame the guide roller on. In this case, it is according to claim 2 advantageous if the rolling bearing of the rotary frame through is cut in an approximately axial section. In order to the cutting surface is approximately parallel through the rolling bearing aligned to the running web, so that a Installation conditions according to the largest possible proportion of the rolling bearing for supporting radial bearing forces for Available.

Oft ist es gewünscht, die Schwenkachse des Drehrahmens möglichst genau in die auf die Umlenkwalze auflaufende Warenbahn zu legen. Damit auch in diesem Fall das Drehlager den Bahnlauf in keiner Weise behindert, ist es gemäß Anspruch 3 derart zugeschnitten, daß sich seine Lagerschalen über einen Winkel von weniger als 180° erstrecken. Demnach liegt die Schwenkachse des Drehrahmens bereits außerhalb des Wälzlagers, so daß die durch die Schwenkachse geführte Warenbahn vom Wälzlager beabstandet geführt ist. Außerdem ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß aus einem herkömmlichen Wälzlager auf diese Weise zwei zugeschnittene Wälzlager gewonnen werden können, die jeweils etwas weniger als 180° umfassen.Often it is desired, the pivot axis of the rotating frame as accurately as possible in the run on the guide roller To lay web. So also in this case, the pivot bearing it does not obstruct the course of the track in any way Claim 3 tailored so that its bearings extend over an angle of less than 180 °. Accordingly, the pivot axis of the rotating frame is already outside of the rolling bearing, so that by the Pivot axis guided web spaced from the bearing is guided. In addition, there is the further advantage that from a conventional rolling bearing in this way Two tailored rolling bearings can be obtained, the each slightly less than 180 °.

Das Wälzlager weist üblicherweise Wälzelemente in Form von Kugeln, Nadeln oder Rollen auf, die in einem Käfig zueinander beabstandet gehalten sind. Dieser Käfig führt beim Verschwenken der Lagerschalen des Wälzlagers gegeneinander eine Relativbewegung zu diesen aus. Um zu verhindern, daß der Käfig bei dieser Relativbewegung den Bahnlauf behindert, ist es gemäß Anspruch 4 günstig, wenn sich der Käfig über einen kleineren Winkel als die Lagerschalen erstreckt. Wie weit der Käfig zuzuschneiden ist, hängt dabei von der Lage der Warenbahn und vom erforderlichen Schwenkwinkelbereich des Drehrahmens ab, wobei der Käfig um so kürzer auszubilden ist, je näher die Warenbahn am Wälzlager läuft und je größer der Schwenkwinkelbereich des Drehrahmens ist. Insbesondere bei Schwenkwinkeln, die größer als 5° sind, ist es vorteilhaft, zusätzlich die fest mit dem Gestell verbundene Lagerschale sekanten- oder segmentartig zuzuschneiden.The rolling bearing usually has rolling elements in the form of bullets, needles or rolls on that in a cage are kept at a distance from each other. This cage leads when pivoting the bearing shells of the bearing against each other a relative movement to these. To prevent, that the cage in this relative movement the Web course impeded, it is favorable according to claim 4, when The cage is at a smaller angle than the bearing shells extends. How far the cage is to be cut depends on the position of the web and the required Swivel angle range of the rotary frame from, wherein the To make the cage shorter, the closer the web is runs on the roller bearing and the larger the swivel angle range of the rotating frame is. Especially with swivel angles, which are greater than 5 °, it is advantageous in addition the bearing shell firmly connected to the frame secant or to cut segmentally.

Gemäß Anspruch 5 ist es vorteilhaft, das Haltemittel als Gleitteil oder drehbare Rolle auszubilden. Dieses Haltemittel ist dabei mit einer der Lagerschalen fest verbunden und drückt an der den Wälzelementen gegenüberliegenden Seite gegen die andere Lagerschale. Bei Einbaulagen des Drehrahmens, in denen das Haltemittel nur eine geringe Druckkraft ausüben muß, reicht die Ausbildung des Haltemittels in Form eines Gleitteils völlig aus, da hierdurch nur geringe Reibungskräfte entstehen. Bei höheren Druckkräften ist jedoch die Ausbildung des Haltemittels als drehbare, ggf. kugelgelagerte Rolle zur Reduktion der dabei entstehenden Reibungskräfte vorzuziehen.According to claim 5, it is advantageous, the retaining means as Form sliding part or rotatable roller. This holding means is firmly connected to one of the bearing shells and presses on the rolling elements opposite Side against the other bearing shell. For mounting positions of the rotating frame, in which the retaining means only one must exert low compressive force, the training of the Haltemittels in the form of a sliding completely out because This causes only low frictional forces. At higher Compressive forces, however, is the formation of the holding means as a rotatable, possibly ball-bearing roller for reduction to prefer the resulting friction forces.

Insbesondere bei großen Drehrahmen ist es nicht zweckmäßig, dessen gesamte Gewichtskraft in einem einzigen Drehlager abzustützen, da in diesem Fall das Drehlager und der Drehrahmen sehr massiv ausgebildet sein müßten, was sich wiederum negativ auf die zu bewegenden Massen auswirkt. Um auch einen großen Drehrahmen rasch verschwenken zu können, ist es daher gemäß Anspruch 6 vorteilhaft, diesen zusätzlich über mindestens ein Gleitteil oder mindestens eine Stützrolle an einer Stützplatte abzustützen, so daß der Drehrahmen relativ leicht ausgebildet werden kann. Das Gleitteil oder die Rolle sind dabei von der Schwenkachse beabstandet, so daß eine gute Lagerung des Drehrahmens gegeben ist. Vorzugsweise sind zwei Gleitteile oder zwei Rollen vorgesehen, wodurch sich zusammen mit dem Drehlager eine sehr stabile Drei-Punkt-Auflage des Drehrahmens ergibt. Die Gleitteile oder Rollen stützen dabei ausschließlich axial zur Schwenkachse gerichtete Kräfte ab, so daß an der Stützplatte keinerlei Bogenführungen vorgesehen sein müssen. Damit entfällt insbesondere die Notwendigkeit, die Stützplatte genau auf die Drehachse auszurichten, so daß sich die Montage der Vorrichtung trotz des Vorsehens der Gleitteile oder Rollen sehr einfach gestaltet. Schließlich ist es gemäß Anspruch 7 vorteilhaft, wenn dem Gleitteil oder der Stützrolle ein weiteres Gleitteil oder eine weitere drehbare Stützrolle zur Abstützung des Drehrahmens gegenüberliegt, die an der Gegenseite der Stützplatte abgestützt ist. Damit können neben axialen Druck- auch axiale Zugkräfte von den Gleitteilen oder Rollen aufgenommen werden, so daß diese Vorrichtung problemlos auch über Kopf eingebaut und betrieben werden kann. Especially with large swivel frames, it is not appropriate its entire weight in a single pivot support, since in this case the pivot bearing and the rotating frame would have to be very solid, which in turn has a negative effect on the masses to be moved. To quickly swivel a large rotating frame it is therefore advantageous according to claim 6, this additionally via at least one sliding part or at least to support a support roller on a support plate, so that the rotating frame are relatively easily formed can. The sliding part or the roller are of the Spaced pivot axis, so that a good storage of the Rotary frame is given. Preferably, two sliding parts or two rollers provided, which coincides with the pivot bearing a very stable three-point edition of the Revolving frame results. Support the sliding parts or rollers while exclusively directed axially to the pivot axis Forces off, so that no bow guides on the support plate must be provided. This eliminates in particular the need to place the support plate exactly on the axis of rotation align so that the assembly of the device despite the provision of the sliding parts or roles very simply designed. Finally, it is advantageous according to claim 7, when the Sliding part or the support roller another sliding part or a another rotatable support roller opposite to the support of the rotating frame, supported on the opposite side of the support plate is. Thus, in addition to axial pressure and axial Tensile forces absorbed by the sliding parts or rollers be, so that this device easily over Head can be installed and operated.

Die Stützrollen 9 sind jeweils paarweise in je einer Gabel 11 drehbar und gegeneinander verstellbar gehalten, wobei sie die Stützplatte 10 zwischen sich einschließen. Beim Verschwenken des Drehrahmens 1 um die Schwenkachse 12 wälzen sich die Stützrollen 9 an der Stützplatte 10 ab, so daß axial zur Schwenkachse 12 gerichtete Kräfte von den Stützrollen 9 reibungsarm aufgenommen werden.The pivoting device 6 for the rotating frame 1 is of a pivot bearing 8 and support rollers 9 formed on the one hand held on the rotating frame 1 and on the other hand to a supported on the frame 7 support plate 10 are supported. The support rollers 9 are each pairwise in a fork 11 rotatably and mutually adjustable, enclosing the support plate 10 between them. When pivoting the rotating frame 1 about the pivot axis 12, the support rollers 9 roll on the support plate 10th from, so that axially directed to the pivot axis 12 forces be absorbed by the support rollers 9 friction.

In einem Bereich 13 ist die Stützplatte 10 bogenförmig ausgebildet, wobei der Krümmungsmittelpunkt dieses Bogens auf der Schwenkachse 12 liegt. Dadurch ist die Stützplatte 10 in allen vorgesehenen Schwenklagen etwa gleich weit von den beiden Gabeln 11 beabstandet. Damit können die Gabeln 11 kurzschenkelig ausgebildet werden, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Stützrollen 9 den Kontakt zur Stützplatte 10 verlieren.In a region 13, the support plate 10 is arcuate formed, wherein the center of curvature of this arc lies on the pivot axis 12. This is the support plate 10 in all intended pivotal positions about the same distance spaced from the two forks 11. So that can Forks 11 are short-legged, without the There is a risk that the support rollers 9 contact with the Lose support plate 10.

Da die Stützrollen 9 keinerlei radialen Kräfte aufnehmen müssen, können an die Genauigkeit und die Ausrichtung des bogenförmigen Bereichs 13 der Stützplatte 10 sehr geringe Anforderungen gestellt werden. Insbesondere ist eine genaue Ausrichtung des bogenförmigen Bereichs 13 auf die Schwenkachse 12 nicht erforderlich. Vorzugsweise ist wenigstens eine der Rollen 9 in jeder Gabel 11 in Richtung der Schwenkachse 12 verstellbar gehalten, so daß deren Spiel ausgeglichen werden kann. Since the support rollers 9 do not absorb any radial forces need to know the accuracy and the orientation of the arcuate portion 13 of the support plate 10 very small Requirements are made. In particular, an accurate Alignment of the arcuate portion 13 on the Swivel axle 12 not required. Preferably, at least one of the rollers 9 in each fork 11 in the direction the pivot axis 12 held adjustable, so that their Game can be compensated.

Um den Drehrahmen 1 um die Schwenkachse 12 aktiv verschwenken zu können, ist am Gestell 7 ein Hydraulikzylinder 14 abgestützt, dessen Kolbenstange 15 innenseitig am Drehrahmen 1 angreift. Alternativ zu einem Hydraulikzylinder 14 kann auch ein Pneumatikzylinder oder ein Elektroantrieb eingesetzt werden.To actively pivot around the pivot frame 1 about the pivot axis 12 to be able to frame 7 is a hydraulic cylinder 14 supported, the piston rod 15 inside on Turn frame 1 attacks. Alternative to a hydraulic cylinder 14 may also be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric drive be used.

Aufbau und Funktionsweise des Drehlagers 8 werden im folgenden anhand der räumlichen Darstellung gemäß Figur 2 erläutert. Das Drehlager 8 ist fest auf der Stützplatte 10 des Gestells 7 gehalten. Dabei ist eine innere Lagerschale 21 des Drehlagers 8 über nicht dargestellte Haltemittel, vorzugsweise in Form von Schrauben, drehfest mit der Stützplatte 10 des Gestells 7 verbunden. An dieser inneren Lagerschale 21 ist vorzugsweise eine nicht dargestellte, gehärtete Lauffläche gehalten, an der sich Wälzelemente 23 in Form von Kugeln abwälzen. Diese Wälzelemente 23 werden durch einen Käfig 24 zueinander auf Abstand gehalten, so daß die Wälzelemente 23 ausschließlich Rollreibung vollführen. Außenseitig wälzen sich die Wälzelemente 23 an einer vorzugsweise gehärteten Laufbahn einer äußeren Lagerschale 25 ab, die gegenüber der inneren Lagerschale 21 um die Schwenkachse 12 verdrehbar gehalten ist.Structure and operation of the pivot bearing 8 will be in the following based on the spatial representation of Figure 2 explained. The pivot bearing 8 is fixed on the support plate 10 of the frame 7 held. This is an inner bearing shell 21 of the pivot bearing 8 via holding means, not shown, preferably in the form of screws, rotatably connected to the support plate 10 of the frame 7. At this inner bearing shell 21 is preferably not one illustrated, hardened tread held at the Roll rolling elements 23 in the form of balls. These rolling elements 23 are spaced by a cage 24 to each other held so that the rolling elements 23 exclusively Perform rolling friction. On the outside, the rolling elements roll 23 on a preferably hardened track an outer bearing shell 25 from the opposite to the inner Bearing cup 21 is held rotatably about the pivot axis 12 is.

Die innere 21 und äußere Lagerschale 25 sind entlang einer Schnittfläche 26 zugeschnitten, wobei die Drehachse 12 im Bereich des weggeschnittenen Teils der Lagerschalen 21, 25 vorgesehen ist. Zusätzlich ist die fest mit der Stützplatte 10 verbundene innere Lagerschale 21 segmentartig zugeschnitten, damit sie bei der Verschwenkung des Drehrahmens 1 den Bahnlauf nicht behindert. Die Lagerschalen 21, 25 umfassen daher weniger als die Hälfte eines vollen Kreises, so daß das Drehlager 8 den Lauf der durch die Schwenkachse 12 verlaufenden Warenbahn 4 in keiner Weise behindert. Der Drehrahmen 1 ist an der äußeren Lagerschale 25 durch nicht dargestellte Haltemittel, vorzugsweise in Form von Schrauben, festgelegt, so daß dieser um die Schwenkachse 12 verschwenkbar gehalten ist.The inner 21 and outer bearing shell 25 are along a Cut surface 26 tailored, with the axis of rotation 12 in the region of the cut-away part of the bearing shells 21, 25 is provided. In addition, the firm with the Support plate 10 connected inner bearing shell 21 segment-like tailored to help you pivot of the rotating frame 1 does not hinder the web run. The bearing shells 21, 25 therefore comprise less than half a full circle, so that the pivot bearing 8 the course of through the pivot axis 12 extending web 4 in no way disabled. The rotating frame 1 is at the outer Bearing shell 25 by holding means, not shown, preferably in the form of screws, set so that this is held pivotable about the pivot axis 12.

Um die Lagerschalen 21, 25 des Drehlagers 8 trotz des Zuschnitts auf weniger als 180° sicher aneinander zu halten, sind auf der Stützplatte 10 des Gestells 7 Rollen 27 drehbar gehalten. Diese Rollen 27 sind auf Exzentern 28 abgestützt, bei deren Verdrehung sich der Abstand der Rollen 27 von der äußeren Lagerschale 25 entsprechend verändert. Damit kann die Andruckkraft der Rollen 27 den Erfordernissen gemäß eingestellt und auch nachträglich angepaßt werden. To the bearings 21, 25 of the pivot bearing 8 despite the blank to hold together less than 180 °, are on the support plate 10 of the frame 7 rollers 27th rotatably held. These rollers 27 are on eccentrics 28th supported, in their rotation, the distance of the Rollers 27 of the outer bearing shell 25 accordingly changed. Thus, the pressing force of the rollers 27 the According to requirements set and also subsequently be adjusted.
