Abstract
The inventive winding device has a winding core (14) and a band spool (16), which are rotationally mounted on a frame (12). A supply (24) of the winding band (18) is wound onto the band spool (16). At the other end, the winding band is attached to the winding core (14). The winding core (14) is driven by its frictionally engaged interaction with a driving belt (32), which is driven by the drive motor (26). The drive motor (26) also drives the band spool (16).
Description




The present invention relates to a winding apparatus for flexible sheet-like arrangements, in particular printed products such as newspapers, periodicals and parts thereof, according to the preamble of claim 1.




A winding apparatus of this type is disclosed in EP-A-0 652 176 and in the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 5,622,027. It has a winding core, which is mounted rotatably in a framework and can be driven by a drive shaft, and a winding band, which directs the flexible sheet-like arrangements essentially tangentially onto the winding core and is wound up onto the winding core together with the sheet-like arrangement. A drive train comprising a driving pulley, a drive belt and a drive belt pulley makes it possible for the rotary shaft, on which the winding core is mounted in a rotatable manner, to be rotated by the same drive motor as a band reel, from which the winding band is unwound during the winding up onto the winding core. Located between the winding core and the rotary shaft is a helical spring which is fastened, at one end, to the winding core and, at its other end, to the rotary shaft. The arrangement is such that the ends of the spring can move relative to one another in order to change the stressing state of the spring. The apparatus thus makes it possible for the torque to which the winding core is subjected to be adapted to the increasing roll diameter as the winding band is wound up onto the winding core together with the sheet-like arrangements, regulation not being necessary.




In a further winding apparatus for flexible sheet-like arrangements which is disclosed in EP-A-0 719 720 and in the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 5,673,869, the roll rests circumferentially on endless supporting belts which can be driven by means of a drive motor. The band reel is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive wheel. During operation, said band reel has a drive belt engaging around it, the drive belt, for its part, being driven by the drive motor. The drive belt and the drive wheel form a friction or slip clutch.




In a further winding apparatus known from CH-A-652 699 and the corresponding U.S. Pat. No. 4,587,790, the winding core and the band reel are arranged on a mobile framework. The latter can be attached alternately to a stationary winding-up station and unwinding station. The framework has a jaw brake in each case for the winding core and for the band reel. On the winding-up station, the winding core is connected to a drive motor of the winding-up station via an angular gear mechanism. During the winding up of the sheet-like arrangements onto the winding core, the jaw brake assigned to the band reel remains active in order to produce the necessary tensile stressing in the winding band. In the unwinding station, on the other hand, the band reel is driven by the drive motor via an angular gear mechanism, in which case the jaw brake assigned to the winding core remains active.




EP-A-0 243 837 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,768,768 and 4,928,899 disclose a winding apparatus in which the roll and the band reel are driven by the same drive motor. The latter drives frictional wheels which interact with the winding band on the circumference of the roll and on the circumference of the band reel.




It is an object of the present invention to provide a winding apparatus of the generic type which is of particularly straightforward construction.




This object is achieved by a winding apparatus which has the features of claim


1


.




Frictionally locking connections are of particularly straightforward construction and allow coupling between the driving and the driven parts in an extremely straightforward manner. As the winding band is wound up onto the winding core together with the sheet-like arrangements, the drive part of the frictionally locking connection runs more quickly than the winding-core part, as a result of which the winding core, on account of the frictional locking, is subjected to a certain torque in the winding-up direction and, at the same time, the winding band is retained under tensile stressing. The same applies to the unwinding of the winding band from the unwinding core together with the sheet-like arrangements. In this case, the band reel is driven at a greater circumferential speed than the winding core. Both during the winding-up operation and during the unwinding operation, the winding core slips in relation to the part driving it.




Further preferred embodiments of the winding apparatus are specified in the dependent claims.











The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawing, in which, purely schematically:





FIG. 1

shows, in elevation, a winding apparatus with a stationary winding station and a mobile framework which is attached thereto and has a winding core and a band reel;





FIG. 2

shows, likewise in elevation, the stationary winding station and the framework which is detached therefrom and has a roll of sheet-like arrangements on the winding core and the band reel;





FIG. 3

shows, likewise in elevation and on a larger scale than

FIG. 1

, part of the winding station and the mobile framework during attachment, in chain-dotted lines, and in the attached state, in solid lines; and





FIG. 4

shows the mobile framework in side view, and partially in section, a roll of sheet-like arrangements having been wound up onto the winding core.











The winding apparatus shown in the figures has a stationary winding station


10


and a framework


12


which can be attached to the winding station in the direction of attachment A and on which a winding core


14


and a band reel


16


are mounted in a freely rotatable manner. A winding band


18


is fastened, at one end, on the winding core


14


and, at the other end, on the band reel


16


. In order to accommodate flexible sheet-like arrangements


20


arriving, for example, in an imbricated formation, in particular printed products such as newspapers, periodicals and parts thereof, the winding core


14


is intended for being driven about its axis of rotation


14


′ in winding-up direction W, the sheet-like arrangements


20


being wound up onto the winding core


14


together with the winding band


18


, subjected to tensile stressing, to form a roll


22


. In this case, the winding band


18


is unwound—counter to the arrow direction X—from a supply


24


wound up onto the band reel


16


.




A single drive motor


26


, both for driving the winding core


14


and for driving the band reel


16


, is located in the stationary winding station


10


. The output shaft


26


′ of the reversible drive motor


26


is connected rigidly to a drive roller


30


via a two-stage gear mechanism


28


. Guided around said drive roller is an endless drive belt


32


for driving said gear mechanism. It should be mentioned that it is possible to dispense with the two-stage gear mechanism


28


if the winding station


10


is intended either just for winding-up purposes or just for unwinding purposes. From the drive roller


30


, the drive belt


32


runs in the upward direction to a first deflecting roller


34


, which is mounted in the stationary manner, and loops around the latter through approximately 180°. The drive belt


32


is then guided around a tensioning roller


36


which is mounted in a freely rotatable manner at the free end of a tensioning lever


38


, which is mounted pivotably on the machine framework


10


′ of the winding station


10


. From the tensioning roller


36


, the drive belt


32


runs, once again, in the upward direction to a second deflecting roller


34


′, which is likewise mounted in a freely rotatable manner on the machine framework


10


′. From said second deflecting roller, the drive belt


32


runs to a third deflecting roller


40


, which is mounted on the machine framework


10


′ and is spaced apart from the second deflecting roller


34


′ counter to the direction of attachment A. Located vertically beneath the third deflecting roller


40


is a fourth deflecting roller


40


′, from which the drive belt


32


runs back to the drive roller


30


. In the state in which the framework


12


is attached to the winding station


10


—see FIGS.


1


and


3


—the winding core


14


is located between the third and fourth deflecting rollers


40


,


40


′, in which case the section


32


′ of the drive belt


32


, said section being located between said drive rollers, butts against the lateral surface of the winding core


14


and encloses the latter through approximately 180°.




As can be seen, in particular, from

FIG. 4

, the winding core


14


is designed to be wider, as seen in the direction of the axis of rotation


14


′, than the sheet-like arrangements


20


which are to be wound up onto it, with the result that it projects, by way of a lateral border region


42


or


42


′, beyond each side of the roll


22


. In the border region


42


, the drive belt


32


interacts in a frictionally locking manner with the winding core


14


.




As can be gathered from

FIG. 2

, the section


32


′ of the drive belt


32


between the third and fourth deflecting rollers


40


,


40


′ runs—with the framework


12


removed from the winding station


10


—rectilinearly at least approximately in the vertical direction and thus transversely, if appropriate at right angles, to the direction of attachment A. For a length compensation, use is made of the tensioning roller


36


which, during detachment of the framework


12


, moves in the downward direction and, during attachment, moves in the upward direction. The friction between the drive belt


32


and the winding core


14


is also determined by the force by which the tensioning roller


36


tensions the drive belt


32


.




A toothed driven roller


44


is keyed onto the output shaft


26


′ of the drive motor


26


, and guided around said driven roller is a continuous drive element in the form of a toothed belt


46


which, with its side which is directed away from the toothing, runs around two deflecting wheels


48


adjacent to the drive motor


26


. From the top deflecting wheel


48


of these deflecting wheels, the toothed belt


46


runs, counter to the direction of attachment A, to a deflecting wheel of a pair of deflecting wheels


50


arranged one beside the other. Arranged between this pair of deflecting wheels


50


is a tensioning wheel


52


around which the toothed belt


46


is guided in a loop-like manner and which is mounted in a freely rotatable manner at the free end of a second tensioning lever


54


. The latter, for its part, is mounted pivotably on the machine framework


10


′, by way of its end which is remote from the tensioning wheel


52


, and is prestressed in the downward direction by means of a stressing spring


56


, of which the fixed end is fastened on the machine framework


10


′. From the pair of deflecting wheels


50


, the toothed belt


46


continues, counter to the direction of attachment A, to a fourth deflecting wheel


58


, beneath which a fifth deflecting wheel


58


′ is arranged. From the latter, the toothed belt


46


runs back to the bottom of the two deflecting wheels


48


. In the state in which the framework


12


is attached to the winding station


10


, the section


46


′ of the toothed belt


46


, said section being provided between the fourth deflecting wheel


58


and the fifth deflecting wheel


58


′, runs approximately through 180° around a toothed reel drive wheel


60


, with which the toothed belt


46


interacts in a positively locking manner.




As can be gathered, in particular, from

FIG. 2

, the section


46


′ of the toothed belt


46


, with the framework


12


removed from the winding station


10


, runs at least approximately in a vertical direction and thus transversely, if appropriate at right angles, to the direction of attachment A. As the framework


12


is detached from the winding station


10


counter to the direction A, the tensioning wheel


52


moves in the downward direction under the force of the stressing spring


56


, as a result of which compensation for the change in length of the section


46


′ takes place. Conversely, during attachment, the tensioning wheel


52


is drawn in the upward direction.




The framework


12


has a base frame


64


which is provided with feet


62


and from which, in an upstream end region—as seen in the direction of attachment A bearing panels


66


from vertically upward, the top half of said panels running obliquely upward in the manner of extension arms in the direction of attachment A. In the free end region of the bearing panels


66


, the winding core


14


is mounted such that it can be rotated freely about its axis of rotation


14


′. Mounted in a freely rotatable manner on the bearing panels


66


, in the bottom region of the same, is a rotary shaft


68


on which on the one hand—on the outside of the corresponding bearing panel


66


—the reel drive wheel


60


is seated in a rotationally fixed manner and on which on the other hand—centrally between the bearing panels


60


—the winding band reel


16


is mounted in a freely rotatable manner. See, in this respect,

FIG. 4

in particular. The connection between the reel drive wheel


60


and the band reel


16


is described below.




A pair of bearing panels


70


of C-shaped design projects vertically upward from the downstream end region of the base frame


64


, as seen in the direction of attachment A. Band-deflecting rollers


72


are mounted in a freely rotatable manner at the two leg ends. The winding band


18


runs in the attachment direction A, coming from the band reel


16


, to the bottom of these band-deflecting rollers


72


, a pair of rollers


74


which form a guide nip for the winding band


18


being arranged, such that they can be rotated freely about vertical axes, between said direction of attachment and the band reel


16


. The pair of rollers


74


serves for the lateral guidance of the lateral band


18


, the latter being twisted through 90° in each case between the band reel


16


and the pair of rollers


74


, on the one hand, and between the pair of rollers


74


and the band-deflecting roller


72


, on the other hand. In the state in which the framework


12


is attached to the winding station


10


, there is located between the two band-deflecting rollers


72


a drive pulley


76


which is mounted in a freely rotatable manner on the machine framework


10


′ and which has the section


18


′ of the winding band


18


, said section extending between the band-deflecting rollers


72


, engaging around it. As can be gathered from

FIG. 2

, said section


18


′, with a framework


12


detached from the winding station


10


, runs at least approximately in the vertical direction and thus transversely, if appropriate at right angles, to the direction of attachment A.




A belt conveyor


80


which is designed in the manner of a rocker is mounted on the machine framework


10


′ by way of one end such that it can be pivoted about a horizontal axis


80


′. In order to drive the conveying belt


82


of said belt conveyor


80


, the drive pulley


76


is connected rigidly for drive action to said conveying belt as is indicated with reference to the chain-dotted line


84


. This drive connection


84


is designed such that the conveying belt


82


circulates at the same speed as the winding band


18


is moved. By means of a pneumatic compression spring


86


articulated on the machine framework


10


′, the belt conveyor


80


can be pivoted in the upward direction from a bottom rest position


88


, which is indicated by dashed lines in FIG.


2


and by solid lines in

FIG. 3

, into an operating position


88


′, in which the conveying belt


82


butts from beneath, by way of a predetermined force, against the winding core


14


or against the roll


22


wound up onto the same, this obviously presupposing that framework


12


is attached to the winding station


10


, see FIG.


1


.




Fastened approximately centrally on the belt conveyor


80


is one end of a tension spring


90


which, at the other end, is articulated approximately centrally on the tensioning lever


38


. This tension spring


90


serves for tensioning the drive belt


32


to a greater or lesser extent as the diameter of the roll


22


increases or decreases. This spring arrangement straightforwardly ensures that the tensile stressing in the winding band


18


remains approximately constant, irrespective of the diameter of the roll


22


.




As can be gathered from

FIG. 4

, a blocking pulley


92


is keyed onto the rotary shaft


68


. A helical spring


94


, through which the rotary shaft


68


passes, is fastened, at one end, on the blocking pulley


92


and, at the other end, on the band reel


16


. It is prestressed such that the band reel


16


is subjected to a torque acting in the winding-up direction X of the winding band


18


. Projecting in the direction of the band reel


16


from the blocking pulley


92


is a first stop pin


96


, which is intended for interacting with a mating stop pin


96


′ which projects in the direction of the blocking pulley


92


from the band reel


16


. As can be gathered from

FIG. 1

, with the framework attached to the winding station


10


, the stop pin


96


and mating stop pin


96


′ are in mutual abutment, it being the case that, as seen in the direction X in which the winding band


18


is wound up onto the band reel


60


, the stop pin


96


trails in relation to the mating stop pin


96


′. This ensures that the unwinding from, or the winding up onto, the band reel


16


of the winding band


18


takes place in accordance with the rotation of the drive motor


26


and thus in a drive-dominant manner. The helical spring


94


ensures that, with the blocking pulley


92


blocked, as the framework


12


is detached from the winding station


10


, tensile stressing in the winding band


18


is maintained in that, as a result of the spring prestressing, the winding band


18


is wound up onto the band reel


16


in accordance with the shortening of the section


18


′, in which case the mating stop pin


96


′ moves away from the stop pin


96


. Correspondingly, as the framework


12


is attached to the winding station


10


, the winding band


18


—with simultaneous stressing of a helical spring


94


—is unwound from the band reel


16


, the mating stop pin


96


′ coming into abutment against the stop pin again.




In order to block the blocking pulley


92


, on the one hand, and the winding core


14


, on the other hand, a braking arrangement


98


is arranged on the framework


12


. As can be gathered from

FIGS. 2 and 4

, the braking arrangement


98


has a reversing lever


100


which is arranged on the framework


12


and on which two blocking belts


102


,


102


′ are fastened by one end. One blocking belt


102


runs around the blocking pulley


92


and is fastened, at the other end, on the framework. Between the blocking pulley


92


and the reversing lever


100


, the blocking belt


102


has a tension spring


104


. The other blocking belt


102


′ runs from the reversing lever


100


to a deflecting roller


106


and, from the latter, around the winding core


14


to a fastening on the framework


12


. This blocking belt


102


′ is intended for interacting with the border region


42


′ of the winding core


14


. The blocking belt


102


′ likewise has a tension spring


104


′ between the deflecting roller


106


and the winding core


14


. In the braking position of the reversing lever


100


shown in

FIG. 2

, the blocking belts


102


,


102


′ are tensioned and block the winding core


14


and the blocking pulley


92


against rotation. Once the framework


12


has been attached to the winding station


10


, the reversing lever


100


is pivoted into the release position in each case, as a result of which the tensile stressing in the blocking belt


100


,


102


′, and thus the braking action thereof, is eliminated. Before the framework


12


is detached from the winding station


10


, the reversing lever


100


is pivoted back into the braking position in each case.




The framework


12


is intended, in order to attach it to, and detach it from, the winding station


10


, for being raised by means of a fork-lift truck


108


which is known in general terms—and of which only the fork and wheels are indicated in FIG.


4


—and then for being moved respectively in and counter to the direction of attachment A, and set down on the ground again, by means of said fork-lift truck.

FIG. 3

uses solid lines to show the framework


12


in the attached state, set down on the ground, and the chain-dotted lines indicate the raised framework


12


.




The departure point for the description of the functioning of the winding station


10


is the attached state, with empty winding core


14


, shown in FIG.


1


. The belt conveyor


80


has been advanced up to the winding core


14


from beneath by means of the pneumatic compression spring


86


. In order to wind up the sheet-like arrangements


20


arriving, for example, in an imbricated formation, the drive motor


26


is set in motion in the clockwise direction. As a result, the winding core


14


is driven in the winding-up direction W, in the counterclockwise direction, and the band reel


16


is driven in the unwinding direction, counter to the arrow X. The speed of the drive belt


32


is greater here than the circumferential speed of the supply


24


wound up onto the band reel


16


, with the result that the drive belt


32


slips in relation to the winding core


14


. Furthermore, the torque to which the winding core


14


is subjected by the drive belt


32


is greater than the torque of the helical spring


94


, with the result that the stop pin


96


and the mating stop pin


96


′ butt against one another. As a result, the band reel


16


is driven in a winding-dominant manner and the necessary tensile stressing in the winding band


18


is ensured.




The movement of the winding band


18


means that the conveying belt


82


is also driven, with the result that the arriving sheet-like arrangements


20


, resting on said conveying belt, are fed to the winding core


14


beneath the latter. Since the winding band


18


runs tangentially onto the winding core


14


in the region of contact between the conveying belt


82


and the winding core


14


, or adjacent to this region in the downstream direction, the sheet-like arrangements


20


are wound up onto the winding core


14


together with the winding band


18


, subjected to tensile stressing, to form a roll


22


. As a result of the increase in the diameter of the roll


22


, the belt conveyor


80


is pivoted in the downward direction with its conveying belt


82


butting against the roll


22


, which, as a result of the action of the tension spring


90


, leads to a larger frictional force between the drive belt


32


and the winding core


14


. This ensures that, even with the diameter of the roll


22


increasing, the tensile stressing in the winding band


18


remains at least approximately constant. Furthermore, the slippage also increases as the roll diameter increases.




As soon as the desired number of sheet-like arrangements


20


have been wound up onto the winding core


14


, the drive motor


26


is brought to a standstill and the reversing lever


100


is reversed into the braking position. The blocking belts


102


and


102


′ are thus positioned, under tensile stressing, against the reel drive wheel


60


and the winding core


14


, as a result of which the latter are blocked. Furthermore, the belt conveyor


80


is lowered into the rest position


88


by means of the pneumatic compression spring


86


.




A fork-lift truck


108


is then used to raise the framework


12


off the ground, from the position shown by solid lines in

FIG. 3

, into the position shown by chain-dotted lines in FIG.


3


and then to move it away from the winding station


10


counter to the direction of attachment A. In this case, the section


32


′ of the drive belt


32


, the section


46


′ of the toothed belt


46


and the section


18


′ of the winding band


18


are straightened out. This takes place by the winding band


18


being wound up further onto the band reel


16


as a result of the prestressing of the helical spring


94


. In this case, the mating stop pin


96


′ moves away from the stop pin


96


. The change in length of the sections


32


′ and


46


′ is absorbed by a movement of the tensioning roller


36


and of the tensioning wheel


52


in the downward direction.




The framework


12


, with the roll


22


, may then be set down in an intermediate store to await further use of the sheet-like arrangements


20


.




The winding station


10


is then ready for the attachment of a further framework


12


with empty winding core


14


. This framework


12


is moved to the winding station


10


, in the direction of attachment A, by means of a fork-lift truck. In this case, the winding core


14


is positioned against the section


32


′, the reel wheel


60


is positioned against the section


46


′ and the section


18


′ of the winding band


18


is positioned against the drive pulley


76


. As a result of the winding band


18


then looping around the drive pulley


76


, winding band


18


is unwound from the supply


24


, as a result of which the band reel


16


is rotated in the unwinding direction, counter to the force of the helical spring


94


. In this case, the mating stop pin


96


′ rotates towards the stop pin


96


. The lengthening of the sections


32


′ and


461


is compensated for by the movement of the tensioning roller


36


and of the tensioning wheel


52


. Once the reversing lever


100


has been moved into the release position, the drive motor


26


, as has been described above, can then be set in motion in order to form a new roll


22


.




The winding station


10


shown in the figures is also suitable for being used as an unwinding station. -For this purpose, the two-stage gear mechanism


28


can be reversed such that the drive belt


32


is driven at a speed which is lower than the circumferential speed of the band reel


16


. The attachment of a framework


12


to a winding core


14


bearing a roll


22


takes place in precisely the same manner as the attachment of a framework


12


with an empty winding core


14


. Once the belt conveyor


80


has been moved into the operating position


88


′, for the purpose of unwinding the sheet-like arrangements


20


, the drive motor


26


is operated in the direction of rotation counter to that used for the winding-up operation. Since it is also the case here that the torque to which the winding core


14


is subjected by the drive belt


32


—this torque acting as a braking torque during the unwinding operation—is greater than the torque exerted by the helical spring


94


, the stop pin


96


and the mating stop pin


96


′ butt against one another, as a result of which, once again, the band reel


16


is driven in a winding-dominant manner. The sheet-like arrangements


20


are unwound from the roll


22


together with the winding band


18


and are conveyed away by means of the belt conveyor


88


. The framework


12


, with the empty winding core


14


, can then be detached from the winding station


10


, which is ready for accommodating a new framework


12


with a roll


22


on the winding core


14


.




It is also conceivable to dispense with the stop pin


96


and mating stop pin


96


′. In this case, an equilibrium is established between the torque of the helical spring


94


and the torque to which the winding core


14


is subjected by the drive belt


32


.




Of course, it is also conceivable for the reel drive wheel


60


to be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the band reel


16


. In this case, the winding band


18


may be guided by way of a length-compensating apparatus which is constructed, for example, in the same way as, or similarly to, the length-compensating devices for the drive belt


32


and the toothed belt


46


.




It is possible to dispense with a length-compensating apparatus for the winding band


18


if the belt conveyor


80


is driven directly by the drive motor


26


.




Of course, it is also conceivable for the winding core


14


to be designed to be smaller, as seen in the direction of the axis of rotation


14


′, than the sheet-like arrangements


20


which are to be wound up. In this case, the winding core


14


is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a pulley


110


which interacts with the drive belt


32


.




Finally, it is also conceivable for the winding core


14


and the band reel


16


to be arranged in the stationary winding station


10


. In this case, the


35


machine framework


10


′ serves for storing the winding core


14


and the band reel


16


.
