Method and Device for Swiveling a Bobbin in a Winding Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for swiveling a bobbin (2) in a winding device during an interruption of a winding operation. The bobbin (2) rests on a backing roller (3) and is formed on a bobbin tube (5) onto which a thread (4) is wound. The bobbin tube (5) is rotatably held between two retaining arms (6, 7) via a holder (8, 9) in each case. The two retaining arms (6, 7) are mounted on a shared swivel arm (10) having a swivel axis (11). A force effect that acts on at least one retaining arm (6) due to contact of the bobbin (2) with the backing roller (3) or the intrinsic weight of the bobbin (2) is measured by a force measurement unit (12). A force (G, H) is introduced into this retaining arm (6) by a manual transmission of force, wherein a force direction of the manually introduced force (G, H) is determined by evaluating the force measurement, and by means of a drive (13) the swivel arm (10) is swiveled corresponding to the force direction.
