Device for Uninterrupted Winding of a Continuously-Fed Textile Material Web

Abstract

A device ( 1 ) for uninterrupted winding of a continuously-fed textile material web ( 3 ) is provided, which includes four transport mechanisms ( 11, 21, 25, 27 ), which form a cage at a beginning of the winding process. The third and fourth transport mechanisms ( 25, 27 ) are moved radially away from the winding center as the diameter of the roll ( 17 ) increases, and the second transport mechanism ( 21 ) is removed.

1 . A device ( 1 ) for an uninterrupted winding of a continuously fed textile material web ( 3 ), comprising a first transport device ( 11 ) supporting a material web ( 3 ), that feeds to the device ( 1 ), and a cutting device ( 7 ) operating perpendicularly in reference to a traveling direction (T) of the web for cutting the material web ( 3 ),
 a second transport device ( 21 ) is arranged at an output of the first transport device and includes a belt ( 21 ′) extending at an essentially obtuse angle in reference to the traveling direction (T),   a third transport device ( 25 ) is arranged in vertically shiftable position above the second transport device ( 21 ), and includes a belt ( 25 ′) located parallel to the traveling direction (T), and   a fourth transport means ( 27 ) is mounted above the first transport means ( 11 ), a belt ( 27 ′) of the fourth transport device ( 27 ) is located adjacent to the third transport device ( 25 ), and is pivotal between a vertical position and a position tilted in reference to the vertical.   
   
   
       2 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein endless transportation belts are used as the transport devices ( 11 ,  21 ,  25 ,  27 ) which each travel around at least two deflection rollers that are spaced apart from each other. 
   
   
       3 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein a first guiding device ( 23 ), having a u-shaped cross-section, is arranged laterally outside each of the first ( 11 ) and the third transport device ( 21 ) for guiding a roll core ( 19 ) at end faces thereof. 
   
   
       4 . A device according to  claim 3 , wherein the first guiding rail ( 23 ) extends generally perpendicular to a surface of an upper belt run ( 11 ′) of the first transport device ( 11 ). 
   
   
       5 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein outside of lateral edges of an upper belt run ( 11 ′) of the first transport device ( 11 ), unshaped second guiding rails ( 33 ) are arranged for feeding empty cores ( 19 ). 
   
   
       6 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first guiding rails ( 23 ) at the end of the winding process are supported such that they can be moved upwards so that ends of the core ( 19 ) carrying the completed roll ( 17 ) are without lateral guidance and the roll ( 17 ) can be expelled from the device ( 1 ) by pivoting the fourth transport device ( 27 ).
