Method and device for applying a load to a reel in a reel-up of a paper web

A method for applying a load to a reel in a reel-up of a paper web, in which a reel is wound around a reel spool from the paper web in a machine direction, comprising the steps of:

• loading the reel spool and the reel against a web guiding means with a loading force;
• supporting the loading force by a supporting point located in a carriage movable at least in the machine direction along with the reel spool and bearing at least partly the weight of the reel;
• positioning the carriage with respect to a fixed supporting point in accordance with the growth of the reel by means of a transfer device located between the carriage and the fixed supporting point;
• moving a full reel away from the reel-up with the same carriage which has supported the
• reel spool and the reel during reeling;
• and
• during a reel change, transferring an empty carriage under the paper web running towards an old reel such that the carriage moves supported by conveying means resting directly or indirectly on a supporting base.

• positioning the carriage with respect to a fixed supporting point in accordance with the growth of the reel by means of a transfer device located between the carriage and the fixed supporting point;
• and
• transferring the fill reel away from the reel-up by moving the carriage in a transverse direction with respect to the incoming direction of the paper web.

A device for applying a load to a reel in a reel-up of a paper web, comprising:

• a reel spool arranged to receive the paper web to form a reel of paper therearound having a radius showing a direction of growth caused by the paper web accumulating on the reel, the reel-up including web guiding means for guiding the web onto the reel spools,
• a movable construction arranged to contact the reel spool and for movement in the growth direction of the radius of the reel in order to move the reel spool in the growth direction;
• loading means for loading the reel against the web guiding means, said loading means being structured and arranged in connection with said construction;
• positioning and transfer means separate from said loading means for moving and positioning said construction in the growth direction of the radius of the reel,
• wherein said construction comprises a carriage and arms pivotably mounted to said carriage and contacting ends of the reel spool, said pivotal arms being coupled to said loading mean;
• and
• wherein said loading means and said pivotal arms are arranged such that a point of action of said loading means on said pivotal arms is adjustable in a longitudinal direction of said pivotal arms.

• a reel spool arranged to receive the paper web to form a reel of paper therearound having a radius showing a direction of growth caused by the paper web accumulating on the reel the reel-up including web guiding means for guiding the web onto the reel spools,
• a carriage partially bearing the weight of the reel and being movable in the growth direction of the radius of the reel in order to move the reel spool in the growth direction;
• loading means for loading the reel against the web guiding means, said loading means being structured and arranged in connection with said carriage;
• positioning and transfer means separate from said loading means for moving and positioning said carriage in the growth direction of the radius of the reel;
• wherein said carriage comprises conveying means for supporting said carriage directly or indirectly against a supporting base when the carriage is moved;
• wherein said conveying means of said carriage are arranged to travel in two directions transverse to each other.
