Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic reel mounting device for a continuous winding machine, and more particularly to an automatic reel mounting device for such a continuous winding machine that continuously takes up on reels an insulated conductor immediately after a conductor is extruded with an insulating covering over it e.g. by an extrusion covering machine.
  • the automatic reel mounting device of the present invention is preferably composed of a pair of inclined rails for rolling reels thereon by their own weight.
  • the rails are provided with two sections along their longitudinal direction which are made movable orthogonally to the rails for stopping or receiving a reel at these sections, and there is further provided a reel-lift at each of these sections to support the reel thereon.
  • the reel-lifts are made to be actuated to raise an empty reel to the taking up position of the winding machine disposed directly above the reellift or to lower the fully taken up reel from the taking up position of the machine onto the inclined rails.
  • the reel-lift When the empty reel is stopped at a movable section, the reel-lift is adapted to be moved upwards to raise the empty reel to the taking up position of the continuous winding machine, and the other reel-lift is adapted to be moved downward from the taking up position to lower the fully taken up reel onto the inclined rails and the reel is rolled down on the inclined rails to a storing area near the end of the rails. And these operations can be done automatically and sequentially by the provision of appropriate means such as limit switches at desired positions in the courses of the movements of the reels and the reel-lifts etc.
  • the mounting and dismounting of the reels are carried out automatically, securely and yet with a higher speed.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatical view of a continuous winding machine providing an embodiment of an automatic reel mounting device according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatical view of an embodiment of an automatic reel mounting device according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial cross sectional view of the device shown in FIG. 2 taken along the line IIIIII thereof.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings there is diagrammatically shown a continuous winding machine providing an automatic reel mounting device according to the present invention.
  • a pair of inclined rails 4 are disposed underneath a continuous winding machine M.
  • a fully wound reel 2 rolls down along the inclined rails 4 and actuates a limit switch 3 to indicate that it has just passed through the switch, one of the empty reels 1 stored at the top of the inclined rails 4 is allowed to be rolled down along the inclined rails 4 by a reel supplying device of any known type (not shown).
  • a movable rail section A formed in the inclined rails 4 at a position directly below one of the two taking up positions (A) of the continuous winding machine M is actuated to arrest the reel 1 as shown at position A, then the empty reel 1 is raised to the taking up position A by a reel-lift disposed below the rail section (to be described in more detail below) and after the reel is held at the taking up position A by a reel holding device, as shown by 1' the reel-lift alone is lowered to the initial positon.
  • a wire 6 which is fed through a guide 7 and guided by a traverser 8 moving back and forth along the axial direction of the reels.
  • the winding of the wire 6 is switched to the reel 1' by any known means.
  • the reel 5 stops rotating, it is received on another reel-lift previously raised from another movable rail section formed in inclined rails 4 directly below the taking up position B and then lowered toward the inclined rails 4 to the position B.
  • this other reel-lift is lowered below the inclined rails 4, the reel 5 is placed on the inclined rails 4 and rolled downwardly thereon.
  • actuating the limit switch 3 it is received on the storing area near the end of the rails (not shown).
  • the following empty reel 1 stored on the inclined rails is caused to be rolled down to the position B to be raised to the taking up position B of the machine M by the reel-lift.
  • the winding is switched to the empty reel 5 located at the winding position B and at the same time the fully wound reel 1' is lowered onto the rails 4 by the reel-lift.

  • b, d show stationary inclined rail sections and c is a movable inclined rail section adapted to be moved back and forth by an air cylinder 9.
  • 10 shows one of the reellifts having bifurcated arms to support a full or empty reel thereon.
  • the reel-lift 10 is movable orthogonally the direction of the rails by an air cylinder 12 carried by a bracket 11, which is in turn movable up and down along an upright mast 30 of the continuous winding machine M through a chain 15 engaging gears 31 and 32, gear 31 being driven by a motor 13, through a reduction gear 14, a gear 33, and a chain 34.
  • a reel holding device for holding the reel under compressive force which comprises, for example, a driving shaft 16, a driving disc 17, a driven disc 18 and a sleeve 20 shiftable by an air cylinder 19 mounted to the frame of the winding machine M.
  • 21 and 22 show limit switches for stopping the motor 13 respectively at the predetermined lower and uper limited positions; 23 and 24 show limit switches for indicating the holding and releasing states of the reel holding device respectively.
  • one of the empty reels 1 on the inclined rails 4 outside the continuous winding machine M is forced to be rolled down along the inclined rails 4 by the reel feeding device (not shown). Simultaneously one of the movable rail sections c is moved by the air cylinder 9 at a right angle to the inclined rails 4, that is, in the direction that the movable rail section 0 is moved out of alignment with the statlonary rail sections b and d so that the empty reel (1 falls down onto the respective reel-lift 10 and is thereby stopped.
  • the reel-lift 10 begins to be raised by the chain 15 driven by the motor 13 through the reduction gear 14, whereby its bifurcated arms pass through the gaps formed between the stationary rail section b, d and the movable rail section c.
  • the reel-lift 10 reaches the position of the upper limit switch 22, it is stopped due to the resultant stopping of the motor 13.
  • both the air cylinder 19 for holding the reel and the air cylinder 12 for moving the reel-lift 10 are actuated, and the empty reel a is held under a compressive force between the driving disc 17 and the driven disc 18.
  • the reel-lift 10 When the limit switch 24 for indicating that the reel is in the held state is actuated, the reel-lift 10 is lowered and the movable rail section 0 is moved to the initial or normal position aligning with the stationary inclined rail sections b and (1.
