Abstract
The structure disclosed aims to provide a band plate winding system capable of high speed winding at a low cost. The band plate winding system comprises a carrousel type winder having a plurality of individually driven mandrels on a circular support frame provided so as to be rotationally drivable in a vertical plane, and a roll type wrapping device for supporting a plurality of unit rolls each provided so as to be moveable forward and backward between a position surrounding the mandrel located at a winding start position of the winder and a retreat position.
Claims22
A band plate winding system comprising:
- a carrousel winder having a plurality of individually driven mandrels on a circular support frame, said circular support frame being rotationally drivable in a vertical plane;
- a roll wrapping device for supporting a plurality of unit rolls each provided so as to be movable forward and backward between a position surrounding the mandrel located at a winding start position of a winder and a position that does not surround the mandrel,
- a pressure plate located adjacent to each one of the unit rolls,
- the pressure plate and each one of the unit rolls are spaced apart along different portions of the circumference of the mandrel,
- the pressure plate applies pressure directly to the mandrel by direct physical contact,
- wherein a unit roll driving device for rotationally driving each of the plurality of unit rolls comprises transmission means which transmits a rotational force of a driving motor in a direction nearly perpendicular to an axis of the unit roll and which pivots integrally with a frame for supporting the unit roll;
- one connector portion of the transmission means is connected by a transmission shaft to an end of the unit roll opposed to the one connector portion;
- and
- the driving motor is connected to another connector portion of the transmission means.
A bend plate winding system comprising:
- a carrousel winder having a plurality of individually driven mandrels on a circular support frame, said circular support frame being rotationally drivable in a vertical plane;
- a roll wrapping device for supporting a plurality of unit rolls each provided so as to be movable forward and backward between a position surrounding the mandrel located at a winding start position of a winder and a position that does not surround the mandrel,
- a pressure plate located adjacent to each one of the unit rolls,
- the pressure plate and each one of the unit rolls are spaced apart along different portions of the circumference of the mandrel,
- are effective to apply direct pressure to the mandrel,
- wherein each unit roll and each pressure plate have a face facing the mandrel and the distance between the center of the mandrel and each of the faces is equal.
