Device for producing a rope lap

Abstract

Device and method for producing a rope lap. The device includes a rope-forming device structured and arranged to combine threads drawn off from a plurality of thread bobbins in a creel to form a rope, and a bobbin carriage having a warp beam with side disks and a traversing device with a rope guide arranged adjacent to the warp beam. The rope is guided through the rope guided.

1 . A device for producing a rope lap, comprising:
 a rope-forming device structured and arranged to combine threads drawn off from a plurality of thread bobbins in a creel to form a rope;   a bobbin carriage having a warp beam with side disks and a traversing device with a rope guide arranged adjacent to the warp beam,   wherein the rope is guided through the rope guide.   
     
     
         2 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a rotary actuator arranged in positive engagement with the warp beam. 
     
     
         3 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the bobbin carriage is embodied as a center wind device. 
     
     
         4 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a braking device coupled to the warp beam in a non-slip manner. 
     
     
         5 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the traversing device comprises a drive control structured and arranged to displace the rope guide parallel to an axis of the warp beam by a maximum of five times a thickness of the rope for each revolution of the warp beam. 
     
     
         6 . The device in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the warp beam comprises a diameter detection device connected to the rotary actuator. 
     
     
         7 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising at least one pressure roller structured and arranged to bear a predetermined pressure on a circumference of a rope lap forming on the warp beam. 
     
     
         8 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a rope braking device arranged upstream of the bobbin carriage. 
     
     
         9 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein a winding area of the bobbin carriage is encapsulated. 
     
     
         10 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the threads from the creel through the rope forming device and from the rope forming device to the rope guide form a first thread path, and a second thread path is arranged to circumvent the rope-forming device and the rope guide, whereby the threads from the creel to the warp beam are selectively guided along one of the first and second thread path. 
     
     
         11 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a preparation device structured and arranged to suction off a thread sheet formed between the creel and the bobbin carriage. 
     
     
         12 . The device in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a fan reed positioned between the creel and the bobbin carriage. 
     
     
         13 . A method of producing a rope lap, comprising:
 drawing off threads from a plurality of bobbins in a creel;   forming a rope from the drawn off threads; and   guiding the rope to a warp beam with side disks through a guide of a traversing device.   
     
     
         14 . The method in accordance with  claim 13 , further comprising displacing the guide parallel to an axis of the warp beam by a maximum of five times a thickness of the rope for each revolution of the warp beam. 
     
     
         15 . The method in accordance with  claim 14 , further comprising detecting a diameter of the rope lap. 
     
     
         16 . The method in accordance with  claim 13 , further comprising exerting a predetermined pressure on a circumference of a rope lap forming on the warp beam. 
     
     
         17 . The method in accordance with  claim 13 , further comprising braking progression of the rope upstream of the bobbin carriage. 
     
     
         18 . The method in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the threads from the creel through the rope forming device and from the rope forming device to the rope guide form a first thread path, and a second thread path is arranged to circumvent the rope-forming device and the rope guide, and the method further comprises selecting one of the first and second thread paths along which the threads from the creel to the warp beam will be guided.
