[0001] [001] The present invention relates to methods and machines for producing rolls of canvas material, in particular, but not exclusively paper rolls, such as tissue paper, for example, rolls of hygenic paper, paper towel or the like. Background Technique
[0002] [002] In the paper industry, in particular for the production of rolls of toilet paper, paper towels or the like, large reels (parent spools) of tissue coming directly from the continuous production machine are rolled up. These large spools are then rolled out and rewound to produce smaller diameter rolls, corresponding to the diameter of the finished product intended for sale. These rollers have an axial length equal to a multiple of the finished roll intended for distribution and sale and, therefore, are cut by cutting machines to obtain the finished product for packaging and subsequent sale. For the production of rolls of web material, modern rewinding machines are supplied with winding rollers which, combined and arranged in various ways, and properly controlled, allow automatic rapid production of rolls by continuously feeding the web material . After a roll has been rolled up, it must be moved away from the winding area, cutting (by cutting, tearing or other method) the web material so that the next roll can be rolled up. Usually the winding is carried out around the winding cores, typically, but not exclusively made of cardboard, plastic or other similar suitable material. In some cases, the winding is done around recyclable passable extraction axes, which are removed from the finished roll and reinserted in the rewinding machine in order to wind the next roll.
[0003] [003] In more modern rewinding machines, the rolling motion is given to the rollers being formed by the contact of two or more cylinders rotating at a controlled speed. Such rewinding machines are called peripheral or surface rewinding machines since the rewinding movement is imparted peripherally by contact between the surface of the reeling rollers and the surface of the rollers being formed. Examples of such continuous and automatic surface rewinding machines are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,979,818 and other patents in the same family, and in the patent literature cited in that patent.
[0004] [004] These machines are also called continuous and automatic, since the various phases of the winding cycle of each roll follow each other automatically, passing from the production of one roll to the next, without interrupting the feeding of the screen material and in approximately constant or substantially constant speed.
[0005] [005] In some known modalities, peripheral rewinding machines are also supplied with central winding control systems in order to obtain higher quality products. Central control is achieved by means of an axis or a pair of motorized tailstocks engaged with the winding core. Examples of such machines are described in U.S. Patent No. 7,775,476 and in publication US-A-2007/0176039, the content of which is incorporated in the present description and which can be referred to for additional details regarding these types of devices.
[0006] [006] In these machines the core around which the roll is formed is kept in rotation and controlled in its movement by the combined effect of peripheral winding cylinders and motorized tailstocks that engage the winding core for at least part of the winding cycle. formation of each roll.
[0007] [007] One of the critical phases in the peripheral, continuous and automatic rewinding machines of the type described above is the so-called exchange phase, that is, the cutting of the web material, the unloading of the completed roll and the beginning of winding a new one. roll around a new winding core inserted in the winding nip.
[0008] [008] Various solutions have been studied to carry out these operations automatically, quickly and efficiently, for example, through the use of winding cylinders rotating at a controlled speed that accelerate and / or decelerate in a synchronized manner in order to favor correct movement completed rollers and new cores. In some cases, tear systems are provided, where the screen material is separated after winding by means of speed difference. In other cases, pressurized air or suction systems, mechanical systems or the like are used to cut the screen material.
[0009] [009] The control of the winding cylinders and means of separating or cutting the screen material is one of the critical aspects of the exchange phase of the finished roll and its replacement by a new winding core for the formation of the next roll. Summary of the Invention
[0010] [0010] According to the invention, a new winding method is suggested, which completely or partially overcomes one or more of the disadvantages of continuous peripheral rewinding machines of the known type. More specifically, according to some aspects, the invention suggests a winding method that allows the simple, efficient and controlled performance of the exchange phase at the end of the winding of each roll and at the beginning of the winding of each subsequent new roll.
[0011] [0011] Substantially, according to the invention, in a method for the production of rolls of web material, the web material is cut after winding a roll (to create a free back edge of the completed roll and a front edge free from a new roll from which the winding of a new core is initiated) by lengthening the path of the web material between two points of the web material that advance at a controlled speed, preferably the same for both points, when the screen material comes into contact with a new winding core. Said two points are, for example, the points of contact of the screen material with mechanical parts at controlled speed, where the screen material is oriented. The term dot should not be understood in the geometric sense, but as a limited area of the canvas material at a given position in its longitudinal development. The two points can be defined by two cylinders around which the screen material is oriented, said core being moved against one of said two cylinders, squeezing the screen material between said core and said cylinder.
[0012] - enrolar uma quantidade predeterminada de material de tela em torno de um primeiro núcleo de enrolamento para formar um primeiro rolo; - depois do enrolamento do dito primeiro rolo, cortar o mate-rial de tela pelo alongamento do percurso do material de tela entre dois cilindros substancialmente paralelos, em torno dos quais o dito material de tela é orientado. [0012] According to some embodiments, the invention provides a method for wrapping a web material around a wrapping core and producing a roll of web material, comprising the steps of: - winding a predetermined amount of web material around a first winding core to form a first roll; - after winding said first roll, cut the web material by stretching the web material path between two substantially parallel cylinders, around which said web material is oriented.
[0013] [0013] The elongation can be obtained by spacing said two cylinders substantially parallel. In order to maintain the correct control of the web material, a winding core is placed in contact with the web material entwined around one of said cylinders, squeezing the web material between the cylinder and the winding core. More specifically, the core is placed in contact with the cylinder further up with respect to the direction of advancement of the web material. The lengthening of the web material path is advantageously carried out preferably only after the web material is tightened between the core and the cylinder, thus obtaining the ideal control of the web material.
[0014] [0014] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the path of the web material between the two cylinders is lengthened by forcing the web material between the two winding cylinders by means of a new winding core and around which the winding of the next roll starts. In this case the winding core is placed in contact with the screen material and squeezes the screen material between the core and the cylinder and then, winding around the cylinder, pushes the screen material towards the inside of the narrowing between the two cylinders around which the mesh material is oriented, causing it to elongate and cut, that is, interruption along a perforation line, for example. This modality of the invention avoids the need for spacing two cylinders with an alternating spacing movement that would have to be very fast and accurate, thus resulting in a method that is simpler to control and more reliable and also reduces wear on parts mechanical.
[0015] [0015] In some possible modalities, before the elongation of the screen material path, the last one is tensioned to facilitate the cut.
[0016] [0016] According to these modalities, the cutting of the canvas material does not require cutting or cutting elements with parts subject to wear. The web material is subjected to limited tension and is handled in order to reduce the formation of folds or irregularities in the initial winding phase around the winding core.
[0017] [0017] By properly controlling the movement of the parts of the rewinding machine, it is also possible to effectively reduce the length of the screen material between the cut line and the line of adhesion to the winding core.
[0018] [0018] All of this helps to obtain a better quality product.
[0019] [0019] In a manner known per se, the canvas material can be perforated along substantially transverse perforated lines with respect to the longitudinal development of the canvas material in order to divide the latter into a plurality of parts or sheets that can be detached at the time of use along tear lines defined by perforations. In this case, the web material is preferably cut along a perforation line, synchronizing the path elongation phase with the position of the perforation line along the web material. In some embodiments, the winding core is provided with at least one glue line to ensure the adherence of the front edge of the web material obtained by cutting the web material after winding a roll. In this case, advantageously, the angular position of the glue line during insertion of the winding core into the machine and in contact with the screen material is such that it minimizes the length of the screen material between the material cutting line and the cutting line. Glue. In this way, an even better quality of the finished product is obtained.
[0020] [0020] In the preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention, the web material is fed at a substantially constant speed during the various steps of the winding cycle so that the subsequent roll winding and the exchange phase, that is, cutting of the web material, unloading the completed roll, starting the winding of the next roll, are carried out with a substantially constant feed of the web material.

[0021] In some modalities, the method comprises the following steps: - providing a first winding cylinder and a second winding cylinder defining a winding narrowing through which said winding cores and said web material pass; - supply, downstream of said winding narrowing, of a third winding cylinder, defining a winding support with the first winding cylinder and the second winding cylinder; - supplying, upstream of said winding narrowing, a fourth winding cylinder, defining with the first winding cylinder a support for cutting the web material; - feeding the web material around the fourth winding cylinder and the first winding cylinder, through said winding narrowing in the direction of the winding support and winding said web material around the first winding core in said web support winding to form said first roll; - inserting said second winding core in the direction of the fourth winding cylinder; - elongation of the web material path between the fourth and the first winding roller causing the web material to be cut at a point between the second winding core and the first roll.
[0022] [0022] Preferably, the elongation is obtained by inserting the second winding core towards the inside of a cutting support defined between the fourth and the first winding cylinder.
[0023] - alimentação do material em torno do quarto cilindro de enrolamento e o primeiro cilindro de enrolamento, através do dito estreitamento de enrolamento na direção do suporte de enrolamento e enrolando pelo menos uma parte do dito material de tela em torno do primeiro núcleo de enrolamento no dito suporte de enrolamento para formar o dito primeiro rolo; - inserção de um segundo núcleo de enrolamento no suporte de corte entre o quarto cilindro de enrolamento e o primeiro cilindro de enrolamento, alongando o percurso do material de tela e causando o corte do material de tela em um ponto entre o segundo núcleo de enrolamento e o primeiro rolo; - manutenção do segundo núcleo de enrolamento entre o primeiro cilindro de enrolamento, o segundo cilindro de enrolamento e o quarto cilindro de enrolamento para enrolar uma primeira quantidade de material de tela no dito segundo núcleo de enrolamento; - deslocamento gradual do segundo núcleo de enrolamento e o segundo rolo que é formado em torno do mesmo através do estreitamento de enrolamento e para dentro do suporte de enrolamento definido pelo primeiro cilindro de enrolamento, o segundo cilindro de enrolamento e o terceiro cilindro de enrolamento, continuando a enrolar o dito material de tela em torno do dito segundo núcleo de enrolamento; - finalização do enrolamento do dito material de tela em tor-no do dito segundo núcleo de enrolamento. [0023] In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the method comprises the following steps: - feeding the material around the fourth winding cylinder and the first winding cylinder, through said winding narrowing in the direction of the winding support and winding at least a part of said web material around the first winding core in said winding support to form said first roll; - insertion of a second winding core in the cutting support between the fourth winding cylinder and the first winding cylinder, lengthening the path of the web material and causing the web material to be cut at a point between the second winding core and the first roll; - maintaining the second winding core between the first winding cylinder, the second winding cylinder and the fourth winding cylinder for winding a first amount of web material onto said second winding core; - gradual displacement of the second winding core and the second roll that is formed around it by winding narrowing and into the winding support defined by the first winding cylinder, the second winding cylinder and the third winding cylinder, continuing to wrap said web material around said second wrapping core; - completing the winding of said web material around said second winding core.
[0024] [0024] Preferably, in the first part of the winding cycle of each roll, the roll that begins to be formed around the new winding core is kept in contact with the fourth winding cylinder for at least part of the advance movement through winding narrowing. In order to obtain optimal control of the roll during each phase of the winding cycle and, therefore, to improve the quality of the finished product, the fourth winding cylinder can be moved away from the roll and is formed only when the third winding cylinder begins to act. on the roll. This way, at each moment of the winding cycle, the roller is always controlled by three winding cylinders. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the count between the roll and the fourth winding cylinder stops after the roll has completed a plurality of rotations around the geometric axis of the same (and therefore, an amount of canvas material has been wound on it) keeping the roller in contact with all four winding cylinders. This intermediate phase of the winding cycle can also constitute the substantial part of the winding cycle, that is, a part during which a preponderant length of the web material is wound on the roll, typically, for example, half or more than half the length total of the screen material wrapped around each individual roll.
[0025] [0025] In some embodiments, additional winding control can be obtained by inserting the end ends of the winding core of the respective tailstocks, preferably motorized and driven at a speed controlled in a manner coordinated with the rotation speed of the winding cylinders. Said tailstocks can be inserted after the front edge of the web material has been adhered to the winding core, and if necessary after fabrication of a loop, or a loop or even more than one loop of web material has been wrapped around the core. The tailstocks can remain engaged on the winding core until winding is almost completed. Preferably, the time during which the tailstocks remain engaged with the winding core is such as to allow the tailstocks to be released from a nearly formed roll and to reconfigure them in the position in which the next roll begins to be rolled up, thus making it possible to use only one pair of tailstocks. The possibility of using two pairs of tailstocks, which operate alternatively on consecutive rolls, is not excluded.
[0026] [0026] To facilitate the winding phase that follows the formation of the first loops of canvas material, according to some modalities of the method according to the invention, the first winding cylinder and the second winding cylinder are moved away one on the other hand as the new winding core passes through the winding nip while a portion of the web material roll being wound is formed around it. This alternating spacing movement can be achieved by maintaining one of the two winding cylinders (the first and second winding cylinders) defining the winding narrowing, stopped, for example, the first winding cylinder around which the screen material is oriented, and moving the geometric axis of the second winding cylinder only or, conversely, keeping the geometric axis of rotation of the second winding cylinder fixed and moving the geometric axis of the first winding cylinder. The movement condition or immobility condition of the cylinder geometric axes refers to a static support structure of the machine parts. The alternating spacing or distance of the winding cylinders allows the roll being formed in the narrow to be kept between the cylinders for a long time, defining an intermediate phase of the winding cycle. During this time, the diameter of the roll being formed increases considerably and the alternating spacing of the first and second winding cylinders provides space for the roll which is increasing in diameter. Preferably, both winding cylinders are moved in a substantially symmetrical manner with respect to a plane of symmetry in which the winding core geometric axis meets and moves; said winding core advancing, therefore, according to a path which is preferably at least partially straight. This allows for more uniform winding and simplifies the movement of any auxiliary tailstocks used in combination with the winding cylinders.
[0027] [0027] Generally, the first winding cylinder, the second winding cylinder, the third winding cylinder and the fourth winding cylinder rotate at substantially the same peripheral speed through a preponderant part of the winding cycle of each roller. The preponderant part of the winding cycle generally means the winding cycle excluding the transient exchange phase, during which a differential speed is determined between the cylinders of at least one pair of winding cylinders to cause, promote or control the forward movement new winding core and / or completed roll.
[0028] [0028] Preferably, the first to fourth winding cylinders are always maintained at a substantially constant speed, since the forward movement of the winding cores and the unloading of the formed rollers can be printed and controlled by the action only at the speed of the second cylinder winding, or, if necessary, in combination with the speed of the second winding cylinder and third winding cylinder, as will be clarified with reference to the detailed description of the illustrative embodiments of the invention.
[0029] [0029] In order to accelerate angled each new core inserted in the rewinding machine, according to the preferred modalities of the invention, the new winding core is forced between the fourth winding cylinder and a stationary plate positioned at a distance from said fourth winding cylinder so as to cause the web material to narrow between said fourth winding cylinder and the new winding core when the latter is forced between said stationary plate and said fourth winding cylinder. The stationary plate advantageously defines an advance channel almost concentric with the fourth winding cylinder, along which the winding core advances the winding in the stationary plate due to the effect of contact with the web material entwined around the fourth winding cylinder , which, therefore, prints the advance movement to the core. In this phase, the geometric axis of the winding core advances along the channel at a speed that is almost equal to half the advance speed of the web material.
[0030] [0030] In accordance with a different aspect, the invention provides a peripheral rewinding machine for the production of rolls of fabric material wrapped in winding cores comprising a defined support between two cylinders around which the fabric material is oriented, and a winding core insertion element arranged and controlled to insert the winding cores towards said support. The machine is also provided with elements to lengthen the advance path of the web material until it causes the cut to start winding a new roll on a new winding core.
[0031] [0031] According to the preferred embodiments of the invention, the rewinding machine comprises:
[0032] [0032] a first winding cylinder and a second winding cylinder defining a winding narrowing through which said winding core passes;
[0033] [0033] an insertion element for inserting the winding cores in the direction of said winding nip, said winding cores crossing said winding nip;
[0034] [0034] a third winding cylinder positioning downstream of said winding narrowing, said first winding cylinder, said second winding cylinder and said third winding cylinder defining a winding support;
[0035] [0035] a feeding path for said web material extending through said winding narrowing;
[0036] [0036] upstream of said winding narrowing, a fourth winding cylinder spaced from said first winding cylinder and forming with it a cutting area of the web material;
[0037] [0037] the path of the web material extending around said fourth winding cylinder and around said first winding cylinder.
[0038] [0038] In some embodiments, the first winding cylinder and the fourth winding cylinder are arranged and controlled so that the winding core is moved by the insertion element towards the fourth winding cylinder to squeeze the screen material between said fourth winding cylinder and said winding core.
[0039] [0039] In advantageous embodiments, the rewinding machine comprises an element for elongating the web material until it cuts off said web material between the first winding roll and the fourth winding roll after the winding of each roll.
[0040] [0040] Preferably, the first winding cylinder, the second winding cylinder and the fourth winding cylinder and the insertion element are arranged and controlled to at least partially insert the winding core in a support for cutting the screen material, defined between the first winding cylinder and the fourth winding cylinder, thereby causing the web material to elongate and cutting the web material between said winding core and a roll being formed on the winding support.
[0041] [0041] In other embodiments the fourth winding cylinder and the first winding cylinder are movable with respect to each other in a controlled manner to increase the distance between the centers of said first winding cylinder and said fourth winding cylinder after winding of a roll of web material, causing an elongation of the web material path between said first winding roll and fourth winding roll until the web material is cut.
[0042] [0042] According to another embodiment, the invention relates to a method for the production of rolls of fabric material, where the fabric material is oriented around two cylinders and where the fabric material is cut after the winding of a roll by elongating a web material path between the two cylinders. Preferably, the path is lengthened by pushing the web material through a new winding core in the direction of a narrowing between the two cylinders.
[0043] [0043] According to an additional embodiment, the present invention relates to a peripheral rewinding machine for the production of rolls of fabric material wrapped around the winding cores, comprising two cylinders around which the fabric material is oriented and an arrangement to lengthen the feed path of the web material between the two cylinders until it is cut to start winding a new roll on a new winding core. This arrangement may comprise a winding core insertion element positioned and controlled to insert winding cores in the direction of a support defined between said two cylinders around which the web material is oriented, the insertion of a winding core in the said support causing the fabric material to stretch and cut.
[0044] [0044] According to an additional embodiment, the invention relates to a peripheral, continuous and automatic rewinding machine for the production of rolls of fabric material wrapped around the winding cores, comprising four winding rollers defining a space of winding through which the winding cores are gradually advanced to form respective rolls of canvas material around said cores. The winding cylinders are controlled so that during the winding cycle the roll being formed is in contact with at least three cylinders and preferably with four cylinders during the central phase of the winding cycle. The rewinding machine is continuous and automatic, as the web material is fed continuously and at a substantially constant speed and the winding cores are inserted into the winding area defined by four cylinders in a continuous sequence, so that a new core is inserted when the roll wound on the previous core is discharged from the winding area defined by the winding rollers. By substantially constant speed it is meant that it varies for the sole purpose of maintaining the required tension of the screen material, and that, for example, it does not vary by more than 2% with respect to a nominal speed and preferably not more than 1% with respect to at rated speed.
[0045] [0045] The canvas material is cut to generate a free leading edge and a free trailing edge without interrupting the advancement of the canvas material, for example, causing localized stretching of a part of the canvas material when a roll has been completed and a new core is in contact with the mesh material to engage with it the free front edge formed by the tearing or cutting of the mesh material, for example, by means of a glue line. Elongation can be achieved by tensioning the web material by means of a new winding core on a support defined between two of the four winding rollers.
[0046] [0046] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the rewinding machine comprises four winding cylinders defining a first winding support between a first winding roller, a second winding roller and a third winding roller, and a second winding support between said first winding cylinder, said second winding cylinder and a fourth winding cylinder; said first winding cylinder and said second winding cylinder defining a narrowing through which the winding cores pass, around which said web material is wound and through which the web material is fed in the direction of a roll being formed on the first winding support; wherein said winding cylinders are positioned and controlled to realize a first part of the winding of a winding cylinder, said second winding cylinder and said fourth winding cylinder and a last part of the winding of a roller between said first cylinder of winding, said second winding cylinder and said third winding cylinder, said third winding cylinder being positioned downstream of said narrowing and said fourth winding cylinder being positioned upstream of said narrowing with respect to the forward direction of the winding cores.

[0055] [0055] Figures 1 to 8 illustrate a first embodiment of a peripheral and continuous rewinding machine according to the invention and an operational sequence, which illustrates in particular the exchange phase, that is, the unloading of a roll, the winding from which it was completed, and the insertion of a new winding core to initiate the formation of a subsequent roll.
[0056] [0056] Figures 1 to 8 illustrate the main elements of the rewinding machine according to the invention, limited to what is necessary to understand the concepts underlying the invention and operation of the machine. Construction details, auxiliary units and additional components known per se and / or which can be designated according to the known technique, are not illustrated in the drawings or described in more detail; those skilled in the art can design these additional components based on their experience and knowledge in the field of paper converting machines.
[0057] [0057] In short, in the mode illustrated in figures 1 to 8, the machine, indicated as a whole by 2, comprises a first winding cylinder 1 with a rotation axis 1A, arranged along a second winding cylinder 3 having a geometric axis of rotation 3A. The geometry axes 1A and 3A are parallel to each other. Between the two winding rollers 1 and 3 a winding nip 5 is defined, through which a web material N is fed to be wound around a winding core A1 around which a first roll L1 is formed. As will become clear from the description below, the winding cores also cross the winding nip 5, as they are inserted into the machine downstream of the nip 5 and terminate the receipt of the N-web material wrapped around them when they are in the winding support defined not only by cylinders 1 and 3, but also by a third winding cylinder 7, downstream of winding narrowing 5. 7A indicates the geometric axis of rotation of the third winding cylinder 7, parallel to geometrical axes 1A and 3A of the first winding cylinder 1 and the third winding cylinder 3, respectively.
[0058] [0058] In the present description and appended claims, the definition of "upstream" and "downstream" refers to the direction of advance of the web material and geometric axis of the winding core, unless otherwise specified.
[0059] [0059] The third winding cylinder 7 is provided with a movement in the direction of and away from the winding narrowing 5. For said purpose, in some embodiments, the third winding cylinder 7 is supported by a pair of articulated arms 9 around a geometric axis 9A to articulate according to the double arrow f9.
[0060] [0060] Upstream of the winding narrowing 5, the first winding cylinder 1 and the second winding cylinder 3, a core feeding device 11 is arranged, which can be designed in any suitable way.
[0061] [0061] The winding cores can come from a core winder, combined with the processing line N of web material where the rewinding machine 2 is inserted.
[0062] [0062] The winding core feeder 11 is configured in this mode in order to define a PA core feeding path, which closes close to the first winding cylinder 1 and the second winding cylinder 3 upstream of the winding narrowing 5. In this area, means for the temporary retention of the winding cores can be provided. In some embodiments, these retaining means may comprise a bar or cylinder 13 opposite a blade or a series of elastic blades 15. The feed path of the winding core PA extends between the cylinder or bar 13 and the blades 15.
[0063] [0063] The winding core feeder 11 is combined with an insert 17 to insert the winding cores towards the roll forming area. In some embodiments, the insertion element 17 is a driver. In the example of the illustrated embodiment, the insertion element 17 comprises one or more articulating arms articulated around a geometric axis of articulation 17A and defining a driving element 17B that cooperates with the cores to insert them into the winding area, i.e. that is, in the rewinding machine 2 winding head as will be described in greater detail below with reference to the operational sequence illustrated in figures 1 to 8.
[0064] [0064] In some embodiments, between the terminal area of the feeder 11 and the second winding cylinder 3 a stationary plate 19 is positioned provided with a shaped surface 19A, 19B, the function of which will be described in greater detail below.
[0065] [0065] Upstream of the winding narrowing 5 defined between the first winding cylinder 1 and the second winding cylinder 3 a fourth winding cylinder 21 is positioned, with a rotational axis 21A substantially parallel to the geometric axes 1A, 3A and 7A of the first winding cylinder 1, the second winding cylinder 3 to the third winding cylinder 7, respectively. In some embodiments, the fourth winding cylinder 21 is supported by a pair of hinge arms 23 hinged around the hinge axis 23A. In some embodiments, the articulation arms 23 supporting the fourth winding cylinder 21 have an arcuate shape as illustrated in the drawing.
[0066] [0066] Between the first winding roller 1 and the fourth roller 21 an area for cutting the web material is defined, that is, an area in which the web material is cut to generate a free rear edge of the L1 roll during finishing phase and a free front edge to start winding the next L2 roll. In practice, said cutting area can be defined by (or comprise) a narrowing or support 25 for cutting the web material. As will be explained below, the screen material is cut by inserting the new winding core in this cutting narrowing or support 25.
[0067] [0067] As illustrated in figure 1, during the winding of a first roll L1 around a first winding core A1 the web material N is fed, according to the arrow fN, around the fourth winding cylinder 21, around the first winding cylinder 1 and winding on the roll L1 being formed which is retained, at this stage of the winding cycle, in the winding support defined by the three winding cylinders 1, 3 and 7. Reference number 27 indicates a cylinder guide for the screen material N positioned upstream of the winding head defined by winding cylinders 1, 3, 7 and 21.
[0068] [0068] Preferably, the feed speed of the screen material N is substantially constant. By substantially constant a speed is understood to vary slowly with respect to the winding speed and as a result of factors that are independent of the operations carried out by the winding head components described above, which are controlled so that the winding cycle, the unloading of the formed roll, the insertion of the new core and the beginning of the winding of a new roll can be carried out at constant feed speed of the web material in the direction of the winding roller unit and in particular in the direction of the fourth winding roller 21.
[0069] [0069] During the winding phase of the L1 cylinder, outside the so-called exchange phase, which is a transient phase during the operation of the machine, the peripheral speed of the winding cylinders 1, 3, 7 and 21 is substantially the same and the various winding cylinders all rotate in the same direction, as indicated by the arrows in the drawing. By substantially the same in this case, it is desired to mean a speed, which can vary within the limit of need to control the winding compactness and the tension of the web material N between the winding cylinder 21 and the winding cylinder 7, for example, for compensate for the variation in tension that can be caused by the displacement of the center of the roll being formed along the path between the winding rollers. In some embodiments, this difference between the peripheral speed of the cylinders can typically be between 0.1 and 1% and preferably between 0.15 and 0.5%, for example, between 0.2 and 0.3%, with the understanding that said values are indicative and not limiting.
[0070] [0070] In figure 1 the roll L1 in the winding support 1, 3, 7 has been practically completed with the winding of the desired amount of canvas material around the first winding core A1. A second winding core A2 has been provided in the terminal area of the core feeder 11. Reference letter C indicates a line or series of glue dots applied to the outer surface of the second winding core A2. In some embodiments, the adhesive C is positioned so that it does not come into contact with the driving element 17B of the insertion element 17 when the second winding core A2 is inserted in the direction of the winding support. Preferably, glue C is applied along a continuous or discontinuous line, substantially parallel to the geometric axis of the winding core.
[0071] [0071] Figure 2 illustrates the beginning of the subsequent exchange phase. The second core A2 is engaged by the insertion element 17 and gradually advances in the direction of an insertion channel 31, defined between the fourth winding cylinder 21 and the stationary plate 19 and more precisely the surface 19A of the latter. This surface 19A preferably has a concave shape, substantially parallel to the surface of the winding cylinder 21. As shown in particular in Figure 2, in this phase the new winding core A2 is pressed against the fourth winding cylinder 21, tightening the web material N between the second winding core A2 and the cylindrical surface of the fourth winding cylinder 21. The distance between the surface 19A of the stationary plate 19 and the cylindrical surface of the fourth winding cylinder 21 is preferably less than the diameter of the winding core , at least in the initial section of channel 31, so that the winding core is forcibly inserted into channel 31. This is possible due to the nature of the material used to manufacture the winding core, typically cardboard, which allows a substantially elastic diametrical deformation. The pressure with which the winding core A2 is pushed against the web material N and the cylindrical surface of the winding cylinder 21 arranged opposite it generates a frictional force between the core and the surfaces with which it comes into contact ( surface 19A and web material N supported by the winding cylinder 21), which causes angular acceleration of the second winding core A2 due to the difference in speed between the 19A (fixed) surface and the web material N advancing at the feed speed . As a result, the second winding core A2 begins to roll on the surface 19A of the stationary plate 19 at a speed so that the geometric axis of the winding core advances at a speed equal to half the feed speed of the web material. During this movement, the core remains in contact with the fixed surface 19A of the stationary plate 19 and with the web material N pressed against the cylindrical surface of the fourth winding cylinder 21. The surface part 19B upstream of the surface part 19A serves as a guide for entering the winding core into channel 31.
[0072] [0072] Figure 3 illustrates the immediately following step in which the second winding core A2, rolling on the second part of the surface 19A of the stationary plate 19, came into contact with the cylindrical surface of the second winding cylinder 3. The alternating distance between the fourth winding cylinder 21 and the second winding cylinder 3 are variable and in this plane it is slightly smaller than the diameter of the winding core A2, thus remaining pressed against the two winding cylinders 21 and 3 in order to maintain correctly core control. The configuration and position of the stationary plate 19 and winding cylinders 3 and 21 can be chosen and adjusted so that the geometric axis of the fourth winding cylinder 21 does not need to move when switching from the condition shown in figure 1 to the condition in figure 3 .
[0073] [0073] The surface part 19A of the stationary plate 19 is preferably concave and has a shape and position so that the space available for transit of the winding core is sufficiently limited to maintain light interference between the core and the parts 21, 19 of the machine.
[0074] [0074] As a result of the advance movement by the core bearing on the stationary plate 19 to the position of figure 3, the winding core A2 begins to roll towards the inside of the support 25 defined between the fourth winding cylinder 21 and the first winding cylinder 1. As a result of interference between the winding core A2 and the cylinder 21 on one side, and the surface 19A of the stationary plate 19 on the other, the forward movement by the bearing of the core A2 remains controlled.
[0075] [0075] The advance of the second winding core A2 in the direction and into the cutting support defined between the winding rollers 1 and 21 causes a deformation of the path of the web material N. In figures 1 and 2, in fact, the The path of the web material N is straight and tangent to the winding rollers 1 and 21. As a result of the advance of the second winding core A2, however, the web material is pushed into the cutting support 25, with a consequent increase in the length of the web material's path between the web material's narrowing point through the core A2 against the fourth winding cylinder 21 and the web material's tangency point N in the first winding cylinder 1. This elongation of the path causes a elastic stretching of the web material, since the speed of the winding rollers 1 and 21 remains substantially constant and equal to the feed and feed speed of the web material N.
[0076] [0076] Continuing with the winding core bearing A2 and therefore the lengthening of the web material N, the latter can reach the condition of maximum elongation and will tear, forming an LC rear edge of the first completed L1 roll around of the first winding core A1 and a leading edge LT of the start of winding a second roll L2 around the second winding core A2. As a result of rolling and advancing the second winding core A2, the glue line C applied to the outer surface of the second winding core A2 is at this stage in the area where the web material N is clamped between the second winding core A2 and the fourth winding cylinder 21. In this way, the termination of the initial part at the front edge LT of the newly cut fabric material N due to the elongation described above is anchored to the second winding core A2.
[0077] [0077] In the subsequent figure 4, the second winding core A2 continues its advance movement, losing contact with the stationary plate 19 and coming into contact with the first winding cylinder 1. In this phase, therefore, the second winding core. A2 is on a winding support defined by three cylinders 1, 3, 21. Since in this phase the three cylinders rotate at substantially the same angular speed, the A2 core remains in that position rotating about its own geometric axis so that a or more handles of the canvas material form around it. The dwell time of the second winding core A2 in the position of figure 4 can be controlled simply by adjusting the peripheral speed of the winding cylinders 1, 3, 21. The second winding core A2 will remain substantially in that position, without advancing further, as long as the peripheral speed of the winding cylinders 1, 3 and 21 remains the same. The next advance is achieved, for example, by decelerating the second winding cylinder 3 as described below. It is, therefore, possible to configure as necessary the amount of web material N that wraps around the winding core A2 by retaining the last one and the second roll L2 forming around it in the winding support 1, 3, 21 by desired time.
[0078] [0078] Figure 5 illustrates the next phase in the winding cycle. The second winding core A2 on which the second roll L2 is formed must be transferred from the area upstream of the narrowing 5 to the area downstream of said narrowing, that is, from the winding support defined by the first winding cylinder 1, by the second winding cylinder 3 and the fourth winding cylinder 21, towards and into the winding support defined by the first winding cylinder 1, the second winding cylinder 3 and the third winding cylinder 7.
[0079] [0079] For this purpose, as can be seen in figure 5, the first winding cylinder and the second winding cylinder 3 move away from each other, in a controlled manner according to the advance speed of the winding core A2 and the feed speed of the web material N. This is because the higher the feed speed of the web material, the greater the speed at which the diameter of the second roll L2 forming around the second winding core A2 increases. Additionally, the lower the feed speed of the A2 core, the greater the increase in diameter of the second L2 roll. As mentioned, the forward movement of the core A2 and the roll L2 during winding around it is obtained by changing the peripheral speed of the winding cylinders. More specifically, in the illustrated example, the second winding cylinder 3 has its speed reduced so that the second winding core A2 begins to roll through the winding narrowing 5 with the advance speed of the geometric axis of the core A2 equal to half of the difference between the peripheral speeds of the first winding cylinder 1 and the second winding cylinder 3.
[0080] [0080] In view of the fact that the winding core has received a certain amount of web material N and therefore the roll L2 is already partially formed around it, the distance between the winding rollers 1, 3 is increased to allow the passage of the new L2 roll being formed.
[0081] [0081] In some preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated, the spacing changing, i.e. movable away from each other, the geometrical axes 1A and 3A of the first winding cylinder 1 and second winding cylinder 3, is carried out by the movement of the two winding cylinders 1 and 3 symmetrically and synchronously. For the said purpose, the winding cylinders 1 and 3 are each supported by a pair of arms indicated respectively by 1B and 3B in the drawings. The arms 1B and 3B are articulated around the articulation axes 1C and 3C. Suitable actuators, not shown, for example, in the form of electronically controlled electric motors, trigger the movement of cylinders away from each other and then back. Similar drivers can also be used to control the movements of the geometrical axes 7A and 21A of other winding cylinders 7 and 21.
[0082] [0082] While the core A2 with the second roll L2 being formed around it advances through the winding narrowing 5 due to the difference in peripheral speed of the first winding cylinder 1 and the second winding cylinder 3, the fourth winding cylinder 21 is moved forward by the articulation of the pair of arms 23 around the geometric axis of articulation 23A to accompany the core A2 and the roller L2 in movement through the winding narrowing 5. Thus, during this entire phase of the winding cycle, the new roll L2 being formed around the second winding core A2 remains constantly in contact with the three cylinders 1, 3, 21.
[0083] [0083] The gradual advance movement of the second winding core A2 and the second roll L2 through the winding narrowing 5 (figure 6) puts the second roll L2 in contact with the cylindrical surface of the third winding cylinder 7, which meanwhile moves closer to the winding nip 5 after the first roll L1 has been unloaded from the winding support defined by the winding rollers 1, 3 and 7, as can be seen in the sequence of figures 3 and 4. This unloading movement it is obtained in a manner known per se by adjusting the peripheral speeds of the winding cylinder 3 and / or the winding cylinder 7, so that the peripheral speed of the winding cylinder 7 is temporarily greater than the peripheral speed of the winding cylinder 3.
[0084] [0084] Since the latter is in any case decelerated to allow the advance of the second winding cylinder A2 through the winding narrowing 5, the third winding cylinder 7 can be maintained at a constant peripheral speed. However, in order to accelerate the loading of the L1 roll formed during the previous cycle, it may be advantageous to also accelerate the winding cylinder 7, obtaining a greater difference between the peripheral speed of the winding cylinder 7 and the peripheral speed of the winding cylinder. winding 3. The acceleration of the third winding cylinder 7 also provides the additional advantage of tensioning the web material N before the tearing or cutting phase (figure 3) if said acceleration starts slightly before the insertion phase of the second winding core A2 on the cutting support 25.
[0085] [0085] Returning to figure 6, it is observed that at that moment the second winding core A2 with the roller L2 being formed around it is instantly in contact with all four winding cylinders 1, 3, 7 and 21 .
[0086] [0086] The winding cycle continues to maintain the difference in peripheral speed between the winding cylinder 1 and the winding cylinder 3, until the new core A2 is completely positioned in the winding support defined by the cylinders 1, 3, 7 as illustrated in figure 7. This additional transition phase of the second winding core A2 of the intermediate line of the winding nip 5 within the winding support 1, 3, 7 is carried out after moving the second roll L2 being formed by the fourth cylinder away winding 21, which can be reconfigured to its initial position corresponding to that of figure 1, as can be seen in figure 7, where a third winding core A3 is also illustrated being positioned in the feeder 11 to start the next exchange cycle.
[0087] [0087] Figure 8 illustrates the final winding phase of the second roll L2 around the second core A2, a phase in which the machine is in the same position as that illustrated in figure 1.
[0088] [0088] The configuration of the parts of the rewinding machine illustrated in figures 1 to 8 is such that the path followed by the center of the winding cores A1, A2 from the moment they come into contact with the two cylinders 1, 3 until the moment when the roll begins to be discharged between cylinders 3 and 7, losing contact with cylinder 1, is substantially straight. This allows for more regular winding and facilitates the use of tailstocks that can be inserted at the opposite ends of the winding cores in order to improve control of the rotation and advance movement of the core and cylinder during the winding cycle, combining the winding technique. peripheral winding with an axial or central winding, as described, for example, in US patent no. 7,775,476 and publication US-A-2007/0176039.
[0089] [0089] Figures 9 to 16 illustrate a modified mode of the rewinding machine according to the invention. The same numerical references indicate parts that are identical or equivalent to those described with reference to figures 1 to 8 and will not be described again. In this embodiment, the geometric axis 21A of the fourth winding cylinder 21 is kept in a substantially fixed position, so that the new winding core A2 performs part of its movement (figures 13 and 14) maintaining contact with only the first and second winding cylinders 1 and 3, instead of with the three winding cylinders. This constitutes substantially the only difference between the mode of figures 9 to 16 and the mode of figures 1 to 8, while the method with which the screen material is cut in both cases remains substantially the same.
[0090] [0090] The modality of figures 9 to 16 has a greater simplicity of construction and control, since it does not necessarily perform a cyclic articulated movement of the fourth winding cylinder 21 around the geometric articulation axis 23A of the arms 23, the which results in a simpler and more economical setup. The initial part of the winding is carried out in contact with only two winding cylinders, that is, cylinders 1 and 3, as in traditional machines.
[0091] [0091] Figure 17 illustrates an additional embodiment of a rewinding machine according to the invention, the operation of which is illustrated in the sequence of successive figures 18 to 25. In figures 17 to 25 identical numbers indicate parts that are identical or corresponding to those in figures 1 to 16.
[0092] [0092] The rewinding machine 2 of figures 17 to 25 differs from the rewinding machine of figures 1 to 8 basically due to the different structure of the feeder and winding core insertion element 17 and due to the different shape of the stationary plate 19. The operating method of the machine can be substantially the same as that described with reference to figures 1 to 8 or that described with reference to figures 9 to 16. The sequence of figures 18 to 25 illustrates an operating method corresponding to that of figures 1 to 8 , that is, where the fourth winding roll 21 is cyclically movable during the formation of each roll of web material, thus keeping roll L1, L2 always in contact with at least three winding rollers.
[0093] [0093] Figure 17 illustrates some components of the rewinding machine not shown in figures 1 to 16 and in particular: the transport system of the winding cores in the direction of the winding head, the core gluing unit and a perforator to perforate the N-screen material according to substantially equidistant transverse perforation lines, which divide the material into detachable sheets at the time of use by the tear along the perforation line.
[0094] [0094] In the illustrated example, the winding cores are carried downwardly by gravity along a downward channel 41 by a conveyor belt 42 on which the winding cores A arrive, for example, from a core winder, not shown. A rotary distributor 43 individually collects cores A from the downward channel 41 and transfers them to a conveyor 45 that transfers individual winding cores A, A1, A2 through a gluing unit 47. Cores A, A1, A2 can be transported towards the bonding unit in any suitable way.
[0095] [0095] In this embodiment, the gluing unit 47 comprises a movable element 49 for lifting the glue from a container below 51. The glue is applied while the winding core A is advanced by the conveyor 45 along a defined path between the branch upper part of the conveyor 45 and a counter surface 52, the final part 52A of which is moved by a driver 50 to allow the collection of individual cores by the intersecting element 17. To obtain greater precision in the application of glue, the conveyor 45 is controlled in order to temporarily interrupt the winding core A in a position above the movable element 49, which is raised to apply a line of glue to the cylindrical surface of the temporarily stopped winding core. The line can be a continuous or discontinuous line, for example, consisting of an alignment of glue points arranged approximately parallel to the geometric axis of the winding core. Once the moving element loses contact with the surface of the winding core, the latter begins to advance towards the winding support.
[0096] [0096] The structure of this type of bonding unit is known per se and will not be described in more detail. Glue C can also be applied with other types of gluing unit known to those skilled in the art. It should also be noted that in the illustrated example, the gluing unit is mounted on a sliding element 47A, the position of which can be adjusted according to the double arrow f47 along guides 47B. This adjustment is useful to ensure that the glue line applied to the winding cores is at the most appropriate angular position when the winding core comes into contact with the N screen material.
[0097] [0097] The winding cores supplied with glue C are collected individually by the insertion element 17, which in this embodiment comprises a grip 18 supported by an element 20 rotating or articulating around the geometric axis 17A. A driver 22 opens and closes the grip to collect the individual cores of the bonding unit and insert them into the channel 31 defined between the stationary plate 19 and the fourth winding cylinder 21. To allow the collection of individual cores A by the grip 18 of the insert 17, the driver 50 raises the movable part of the terminal 52A from the counter surface 52.
[0098] [0098] In the embodiment of figures 17 to 25, the stationary plate 19 has a concave surface 19A that is longer than that illustrated in the embodiments of figures 1 to 16. Furthermore, in that case, the surface 19A preferably has a shape substantially cylindrical, approximately coaxial to the fourth winding cylinder 21 with the latter being in the position of figure 18. Thus, a channel 31 is defined with a substantially constant cross section and is preferably slightly smaller than the diameter of the winding cores A. A initial position of the winding cylinder 21 and / or stationary plate 19 can be modified according to the diameter of the winding cores used.
[0099] [0099] Figure 17 further illustrates the drilling unit 53 for producing the transverse perforated lines in the web material N. The drilling unit 53 can comprise a beam 54 with a fixed counter blade 55 cooperating with a cylinder 56 provided with a plurality of drill blades 57. The drilling unit is known per se and will therefore not be described in more detail.
[0100] [00100] The sequence of figures 18 to 25 illustrates, similarly to the sequence of figures 1 to 8, the operation of the rewinding machine in the mode of figure 17. Since several elements and components of the machine are equivalent and operate in a similar way to the modality of figures 1 to 8, the winding cycle will not be described again and will be self-explanatory from the previous description and figures 18 to 25. It should be noted that the different shape of surface 19A of stationary plate 19 provides (figures 19, 20) the same function described with reference to figures 2 and 3. The second core A2 inserted by the insertion element 17 in the channel 31 formed by the surface 19A and the fourth winding cylinder 21 is pressed against the winding cylinder 21 so that the web material N is squeezed between the core A2 and the fourth winding cylinder 21. The core is accelerated due to the frictional force generated at the point of contact with the web material N and with the surface 19A of the stationary plate 19 and begins to roll at a feed speed equal to half the feed speed of the web material N, moving into the cutting support 25 (figure 20). In this phase, glue C causes the web material N to adhere to the new core A2 and the lengthening of the web material path that is pushed by the core A2 into the cutting support 25 causes the interlacing material N to rupture, preferably along a perforation line generated by the perforator 53, between the clamping area P1 (between the winding cylinder 21 and the core A2) and the contact area P2 between the web material N and the first winding cylinder 1.
[0101] [00101] To facilitate the cutting of the mesh material, the outer cylindrical surface of the first winding cylinder 1 can be provided with a coating (continuous or discontinuous, for example, in annular bands) of the material with a high coefficient of friction, called "grip" to increase the coefficient of friction between the web material N and the take-up roll 1. A similar coating can be provided on the other winding rollers 3, 7 and 21 to favor the grip on the web material N and, therefore, it more efficiently transmits the force to keep the cylinder L1, L2 being rolled in rotation. In addition, the surface 19A, 19B of the stationary plate may have a continuous or partial coating of material with a high coefficient of friction. In other embodiments, one or more mechanical parts (cylinders and stationary plate) that come into contact with the screen material may have contact surfaces with the screen material machined to obtain a high coefficient of friction, for example, using a processing that increases its roughness. A coating or similar treatment can be provided in the modalities of figures 1 to 16.
[0102] [00102] The LT front edge for the new L2 roll and the LC rear edge for the L1 roll are thus generated similarly to what has already been described.
[0103] [00103] The machine of figure 17 can also be designed with a winding cylinder 21 that is kept fixed during the winding cycle, which will be carried out in said case in a similar way to that illustrated in figures 9 to 16.
[0104] [00104] Figure 26 illustrates a modified mode of the rewinding machine according to the invention. In this embodiment, a blowing system 100 is arranged between cylinders 1 and 21. In some embodiments, the blowing system 100 comprises a plurality of nozzles preferably aligned in a direction substantially parallel to the geometric axes of cylinders 1 and 21. The nozzles Blowing blowers generate a series of air jets on the surface of the N web material facing cylinders 1 and 21. The air jet can facilitate the cutting of the web material. A similar blowing system can be provided in the manner illustrated in figures 1 to 16.
[0105] [00105] The nozzles of the blowing system 100 can be controlled to generate an air jet synchronized with the movement of the winding core towards the interior of the cutting support 25.
[0106] [00106] In the modalities of figures 1 to 26, the cutting or rupture of the web material N upon completion of the winding is obtained by the lengthening of the path of the web material N between cylinders 1 and 21 caused by the movement of the winding core in the direction of the cutting support 25. Figures 27 and 28 illustrate, limited to the cutting phase of the canvas material, a different method of lengthening the material path in the section between cylinders 21 and 1. In this modality the distance between the centers of the cylinders 1 and 21 is variable. Preferably, cylinder 1 has a fixed axis of rotation 1A, while cylinder 21 has a axis of mobile rotation 21A to move away from the axis 1A of cylinder 1. When the winding core A2 comes into contact with the material of screen N, pressing it between the core and the surface of the cylinder 21, the distance between the centers of the two cylinders 1 and 21 can be readily and temporally increased, causing an elongation of the section of the screen material between the two cylinders and, therefore, cutting it. Subsequently, the two cylinders can be moved close to each other again and the cylinder 21 can, if necessary, make a movement to accompany the new winding core A2 in the direction of the narrowing 5 as previously described.
[0107] [00107] In all embodiments, glue C is applied to the winding cores A1, A2 so that it is in the most favorable angular position for adhesion of the free front edge of the fabric material to the winding core. In practice, the angular position of the glue line C is controlled to be as close as possible to the perforated line that breaks due to the lengthening of the web material path between cylinders 1 and 21.
[0108] [00108] The winding cores A1, A2 can consist of tubes made of cardboard, paper, plastic or other material that is subsequently cut when the respective roll is divided into small rolls. In other embodiments, the winding cores are formed from shafts that can be extracted from the completed rollers and then recycled to wind the subsequent rollers.
[0109] [00109] It is understood that the drawings illustrate only one example provided only by means of a practical demonstration of the invention, which can vary in its forms and dispositions without departing from the scope of the concept underlying the invention. Any reference numbers in the attached claims are provided to facilitate the reading of the claims with reference to the description and drawings, and do not limit the scope of protection of the claims.
