The preparation of the lap termination of a web
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus that is used for being prepared as the lap termination of the required web of road, back manufacturing procedure.
For the automatic joint of lap termination, for example in combing machine, the lap termination is prepared respectively, in the joint location zone of the lap termination of pulling out thin or thick position appear so that avoid in follow-up joint process.This joint of the lap of a new supply also can be applied in the combing preparation.The lap termination of Zhun Beiing is seen on the length direction of debatching direction and should be shown the cut-out limit one like this, and it is positioned on the approximate line of cut-out uniformly, and the lap termination should be pulled out in about most advanced and sophisticated mode here.In other words the lap termination than web slightly attenuation some.
From EP-A1-482 475 is known a kind of device arranged, wherein prepare to be positioned at lap termination on the take up roll by being located at two preparation devices between the take up roll.In the case, still be positioned at termination on the lap by an aspirator sucking-off and transfer to the zone of a fixing device.Lap keeps rotation in this process, till the existing enough length in the lap termination of determining institute's sucking-off by a sensor is positioned at the fixing device zone.In case after reaching this state, just being further rotated of lap stops by stopping take up roll, and makes the fixing device closure.And then Bi He fixing device is after on the whole width clamping web, and the reverse drive by take up roll is rotated lap round about.Therefore because the result of clamping action, the lap termination is broken between clamped position and lap supporting-point in the take up roll back or is separated.
Be positioned at the termination of the cut-out below the clamped position, mat one aspirator siphons away and throws away after fixing device unclamps.
With this device, in most of the cases can obtain one prepare good lap termination, it can be applicable to the automatic joint process in road, back.
But this situation once took place, and particularly in the time must processing the lamination coating that has than chopped fiber (short fiber), promptly the distance between the lap supporting-point on the clamped position of fixing device and the back take up roll is too big and can not obtain a cut-out limit that limits.
This means and cut off line or cut off the limit may appear on any position and be not on the accurate preposition between the supporting-point of lap on described clamping lines and back take up roll, because web has different structures and obvolvent length for its debatching length.
This may cause in the follow-up joint process that the lap termination is connected on the lap termination of pulling out, and two lap terminations superimposed is difficult to accurately control, causes in the joint process two lap terminations overlapping sometimes too much, and sometimes very little.
Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method and a kind of device, can realize the accurate off-position of lap on the web length direction by it.
Advise a kind of method, wherein web is clamped on its width for this reason, and and then the free end of giving prominence to outside clamped position is being cut off after the clamped position with flowing in the pressurized air that is produced on the web width.
Also suggestion in addition: the web termination that is cut off by pressurized air stream siphons away from the clamped position zone by at least one other air-flow.
Can obtain the exact location that a lap termination cuts off line in the downstream of clamped position with this device.Therefore no longer as original cutting-off method the counter-rotating by take up roll realize, but only cut off by applying compressed air.Before the take up roll counter-rotating, fixing device unclamps again so that ready lap termination is placed on the lap again.
The length direction that the direct vicinity that pressurized air is preferably in the web clamped position is sentenced with clamped web transversely or at angle blows on the lap termination to direction.
The present invention can realize by another kind of device equally, a fixing device and a pressurized air nozzle that extends at the web Width have wherein been adopted, here the pressurized air nozzle is arranged on the outgoing side near fixing device, and its spout is the lap termination of giving prominence to facing to from fixing device.For the purpose of taking away the lap termination of being separated by the pressurized air nozzle, suggestion is provided with a suction channel at the outgoing side of fixing device.
For the purpose of the design and an in check air-flow that obtain a compactness, also advise fixing device is fixed on the suction channel, and the pressurized air nozzle is given prominence in suction channel with its spout at least.
The pressurized air nozzle can design like this, makes it that the spout of independent adjacent arrangement can be set.
It is as follows by the following examples other advantages to be elaborated, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the diagrammatic side view that has by the web inlet of combing head in the combing machine of air plant of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the diagrammatic sketch of the fixing device among Fig. 1 when opening.
Fig. 1 represents that wherein a lap W is positioned on driven take up roll 3,4 by a cross-sectional plane of the inlet of the web on the combing head 1 of a combing machine.Be provided with one in the middle of below take up roll 3 and 4 and prepare the termination E that device 6 is used for preparing web B.Preparation device 6 is made up of a suction tube 8 and a suction channel 9 that imports in the pipe 8.So just be provided with 8 such passages 9 under the situation of 8 combing heads, they all import in the pipe 8.Be connected with a vacuum source of not representing in detail on the pipe 8, produce an air-flow from each passage 9 inflow pipes 8 by its, as shown by arrows.
Being provided with one in the upper area of passage 8 can be round axle 10 and the side wall member 11 of rotating, it within it side have an elastomeric clamping element 12.Clamping element 12 for example can be made by rubber.As shown in FIG., be hinged on cylinder 14 on the passage 9 with axle 15, clamping element 12 is pressed to web B that stretches in passage 9 and fixed sidewall parts 16 that are positioned at the opposite by one.Thereby form a K of clamping lines when appearing on the width of web B.
Cylinder 14 is connected with the side wall member 11 that can rotate with clamping plate 19 by axle 18.Cylinder 14 links to each other with compressed air source by valve 20 and by circuit 21 or 22.Valve 20 is controlled by control unit S, and control unit S can also determine the feeding direction by compressed air source 24 air supplied.In order to monitor the position of clamping element 12 or axle 18, be provided with a sensor 26, it is connected with control unit S by lead 27.In order to monitor the position of lap termination E, in passage 9, be provided with another sensor 29, it is connected with control unit S by lead 30.Clamped position K directly below be provided with a nozzle 32, its spout 33 is the inside of pointing to passage 9.Spout 33 can be made up of the independent spout of adjacent setting, and they are distributed on the width of web.Spout 33 also can be designed to the slit that extends on the web width, and by pipeline 35 from compressed air source 27 to its feeding pressurized air.The control of compressed air delivery is realized that by valve 36 valve 36 is controlled by control unit S by control element 38.Here control unit S is connected with control element 38 by circuit 39.Be provided with one and take device 42 away in the rotating shaft 5 of take up roll 3, it produces an air-flow that blows to the tangential direction of lap W by a nozzle element that schematically illustrates 43, is used for taking away ready lap termination E.Specifying of this device can be known from EP-A1-482 475, also can know other details of the enforcement of relevant preparation device 6 from it.
Also schematically express a nipper unit Z and a feeding roller SW in addition.The web 8 that rolls out from lap W is supplied to nipper unit Z by a pair of pressure roller 44.
On the position shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the driving of a pair of pressure roller 44 and nipper Z is out-of-action, have only when by take away device 42 a new ready lap termination E when pulling out lap termination E1 joint, it just works again.Pull out the preparation of lap termination E1 and for example can carry out, wherein this process is had detailed explanation according to preceding European patent No.455 171.
The piston of cylinder 14 indentation in Fig. 2 makes clamping element 12 lift from passage 9 opposite side walls 16, that is to say, side wall member 11 is made anti-clockwise owing to the indentation of cylinder 14 by axle 10 and rotated.So passage 9 is opened again near and suck a new lap termination E.
Be elaborated as follows according to Fig. 1 and 2 to the set up procedure of lap termination E:
At the lap termination E1 that pulls out web B after being ready to and being positioned at position shown in Figure 2 described in the EP-A1-455 171, a new lap W who reels is placed on take up roll 3 and 4, lap W is by take up roll 3,4 drive and rotate by the direction of arrow P 1, simultaneously in suction tube 8 and passage 9, apply a negative pressure, make and in passage 9, produce an air-flow, as shown by arrows, after in case the termination E of the outer web B on the lap W is caught by the suction of passage 9, mention and be drawn in the passage 9 from the periphery of lap immediately owing to the continuation of lap W rotation makes the termination, when sensor 29 is found out termination E, thereby the rotation of the driving of wireline reel 3 and 4 and lap W just stops.This is to work after receiving the signal of sensor 29 by path 30 by control unit S.Control unit S switches to corresponding position to valve 20 now, makes a side of the piston of cylinder 14 be compressed the effect of air by pipeline 22.The piston of cylinder 14 outwards stretches and side wall element 11 is moved in the direction of the clock round axle 10 together with clamping element 12 as a result.This rotational motion is monitored by sensor 26.When reaching home the position, just stop cylinder 14 supply pressurized airs.On this final position, clamping element 12 rests in web B and upward and it presses to fixed sidewall 16, as shown in Figure 1.After arriving this clamped position, by control unit S valve 36 is worked, the pressurized air that compressed air source 37 is produced is delivered to the spout 33 of nozzle 32.Pulse of compressed air is to set like this, and it is cut off lap termination E immediately in a fixed manner in the back of clamped position K.This means that cutting off line is accurately to be positioned on the line of spout 33.So the lap termination E that cuts off is aspirated downwards and is emitted.After cutting-off process finished, valve 20 triggered by control unit S again, made pressurized air pass through pipeline 21 and supply cylinder 41.In the case, the piston rod of cylinder 14 indentation and make side wall member 11 rotate back into position shown in Figure 2 inwards.
Be lifted by clamping element 12 clamp after soon, take up roll 3 and 4 is by being driven by direction shown in Figure 1, the result makes lap W rotate with the direction of arrow P 2 (Fig. 1).This hand of rotation lasts till that new ready lap termination E arrives till the supporting-point between take up roll 4 and the lap W, places so that it is placed on the outer of lap W.After the lap termination E that cuts off by nozzle 32 was siphoned away by aspirator (9,8), suction airflow just was closed heavily again.
So take up roll is reverse again, lap is rotated by the direction of arrow P 1, make the new lap termination E that is positioned on the periphery arrive the zone of taking unit 42 away, the termination is taken and transferred to away pressure roller 44 and pull out lap termination E1 by it.New lap termination E controls like this with the joint of pulling out lap termination E1 and coordinates in time, and a joint location that does not have thin point or thick point is promptly arranged in pressure roller 44 zones.Just can carry out now the normal debatching process of web from lap W, so that cylinder (Rundkamm) (not shown) combines and realizes combing process in the middle of nipper unit Z.
The preparation of passing through the lap termination of being advised can obtain one and prepare and fixing off-position, thus can carry out exactly the back with same overlapping process of pulling out lap termination E1 and the preparation of new lap termination E.
