Abstract
Fiber webs are wound into partial web rolls (15) in a winding device having at least two winding stations (20) and rider roll units (30) that load a pair of rider rolls (31,32) against the partial web roll (15) being wound. The partial webs (W1, W2) are guided to be wound to partial web rolls (15) around cores (14) via a nip between a winding roll (10) and the partial web rolls (15). The winding position of the partial web rolls (15) is on the upper circumferential half of the winding roll (10). The rider rolls (31, 32) are moved substantially linearly in the direction of the radius of the partial web rolls (15) and co-linear with a movement path of winding chucks (25) on which the partial web rolls are supported at the two ends of a core (14).
Claims15
A method for winding partial paper or board webs into partial web rolls on a winding roll, wherein the winding roll defines an upper circumferential half of the winding roll, in winding stations of a winding device, the method comprising the steps of:
- winding a plurality of partial webs on to partial web rolls on the upper circumferential half of the winding roll in the winding stations;
- wherein each of the plurality of partial web rolls is engaged with only one winding roll;
- wherein each partial web roll has a roll center and is wound about a core having two ends and is supported at the two ends by a pair of winding chucks or winding heads;
- wherein during winding of the partial webs on to the partial web rolls, using a plurality of rider roll units each having a pair of driven rider rolls which are spaced apart in a direction along which the partial webs travel so as to hold the core between each of the air of rider rolls and the winding roll to prevent the core from bending;
- loading each partial web roll with the pair of rider rolls of each rider roll unit;
- guiding the partial webs to the partial web rolls and around the cores via nips between the winding roll and the partial web rolls;
- wherein the partial web rolls are loaded and supported by the rider rolls in a direction toward the roll center of the partial web rolls from initiating of the winding on the partial winding rolls until winding of the partial web rolls is completed;
- applying a circumferential force to the partial web rolls with the driven rider rolls;
- moving the winding chucks or winding heads along a linear movement path as the partial web rolls are wound from initiating of the winding of the partial webs until the partial web rolls are completed;
- and
- moving the rider rolls linearly in a direction along a radius of the partial web rolls and co-linear with the movement path of the winding chucks or winding heads on which the partial web rolls are supported at the two ends of the core from initiating of the winding of the partial webs until the partial web rolls are completed.
A device for winding partial paper and board webs into partial web rolls on to cores, the device comprising:
- at least one winding roll, the winding roll defining an upper circumferential half of said winding roll;
- at least two winding stations, wherein the winding stations are arranged to position partial web rolls on the at least one winding roll upper circumferential half;
- wherein each of the partial web rolls is engaged with only one winding roll;
- each winding station further comprising:
- two winding carriages, wherein each carriage has a winding chuck or winding head supported by a winding arm, and wherein the winding chucks or winding heads are mounted for movement along linear guides of the carriages so as to move along a linear movement path as the arms move on the linear guides as winding proceeds around a winding core;
- a rider roll unit having a pair of rider rolls which are spaced apart in a direction along which the partial webs travel so as to hold the core between each of the pair of rider rolls and the winding roll to prevent the core from bending, the rider roll unit being mounted on a linear guide for linear movement in a direction of a partial web roll center as it engages with the at least one winding roll;
- a loading device connected to load the pair of rider rolls against a partial web roll in the direction of a partial web roll center as it engages with the at least one winding roll;
- a drive motor connected to the rider roll unit and connected to rotatably drive the pair of rider rolls for engagement with the surface of the partial web rolls to be wound to load said partial web rolls with circumferential force to provide surface traction;
- wherein the winding carriages are arranged to support and load a partial web roll with the winding chucks or winding heads at two ends formed by a core about which a partial web roll is formed, the winding chucks or winding heads being movable along the linear movement path in the direction of a partial web roll center as it engages with the at least one winding roll;
- and
- wherein the rider rolls are movable only linearly in the direction of a partial web roll center as the partial web roll center engages with the at least one winding roll and co-linear with the linear movement path of the winding chucks.
