Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] The present invention relates to a device and a method for wrapping cables, in particular cable bundles, using adhesive tape, preferably in automated cable forming of cable forming apparatuses. BACKGROUND
[0003] In cable production, cables which are at least sectionally run parallel and / or form cable bundles are fixed to one another using adhesive tape at certain sections. Various wrapping devices for wrapping are mentioned in the prior art.
[0004] In the prior art, in the wrapping devices, at least partially, the disadvantages of a manual (supply step) process step, a large space requirement, a long processing cycle time and / or a high complexity of the wrapping device are derived. SUMMARY
[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device and a method, wherein the device should be compact and the method should be simple in application and a predetermined cycle time should not be exceeded.
[0006] The above object is achieved by a device for wrapping cables using adhesive tape according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 10. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims, the description and the figures.
[0007] In particular, the above object is achieved by a device for wrapping cables using adhesive tape, having a base with at least one storage device for adhesive tape and a clamping and separating unit for clamping the adhesive tape and separating an adhesive tape section from the adhesive tape, having a wrapping unit for wrapping the adhesive tape section around a cable, wherein the wrapping unit is arranged on the base via a pushing facility and can be moved at least between a first position and a second position and has at least a first roller and a second roller which are fixed on the wrapping unit for temporarily receiving the adhesive tape section in the wrapping unit, wherein the first roller and the second roller receive the adhesive tape section from the clamping and separating unit in the first position and deliver it to the cable in the second position, wherein the cable is wrapped by the wrapping unit using the adhesive tape section.
[0008] The device has the advantage that all components are mounted directly or indirectly on the base, whereby a very compact construction is achieved. In this case, the compact device is particularly arranged for winding cables at discontinuous locations of a cable or cable bundle. In particular, the device is able to wind cable bundles consisting of cables or cable bundles of different diameters with a predetermined number of coils in position using (paper) tape. In particular, it is possible to achieve a total cycle time (i.e. including tape preparation and winding process) of less than 20 seconds, preferably less than 15 seconds and most preferably less than 10 seconds using the device. Furthermore, in the device, the winding unit is moved to the cable in order to wind the cable, so that additional movement of the cable or cable bundle to the winding unit is omitted in the cable production plant. The winding unit also only carries as much tape (tape section) as is required for the current winding. Thus, the construction of the device can be kept small. Furthermore, without additional components such as reversing rollers, the tape is received at the winding unit, unwound at the cable and the winding unit is reused with the tape assembly again. Thus, a low complexity of the device can be maintained.
[0009] Preferably, the pushing facility comprises a linear actuator. The linear movement of the linear actuator is fast, precise and space-saving. The linear actuator enables a very fast pushing of the winding unit between the first position and the second position to be possible, so that a short cycle time can be achieved.
[0010] Preferably, the winding unit comprises a rotating element having a receiving portion for the cable, wherein the rotating element is able to rotate around the cable in the receiving portion in order to wind the rotating element, and the first roller and the second roller are preferably arranged at the rotating element. The rotating element is a simple way of winding the cable by arranging the cable in a position-fixed manner via the receiving portion in the center point of the rotating element and rotating the rotating element around the cable. By arranging the first roller and the second roller with the tape section at the rotating element, the rollers rotate with the rotating element and wind the cable using the tape section.
[0011] Preferably, the device furthermore has a brush device having at least one brush for pressing the tape section against the cable when winding, wherein the brush device is arranged at the base and the at least one brush is pushable relative to the brush device. The brush has the advantageous effect that the tape section is flattened and slightly pressed against the cable when winding, which case improves the adhesion of the tape section to the cable. The pushability of the brush has the advantage that it can always be brought into the right position, close to the receiving portion facing the brush or far away from the unobstructed receiving / rolling onto the receiving portion or rotating element facing the tape.
[0012] Preferably, the at least one brush can be pushed between the brush device and the winding unit if the winding unit is in the first position, and the at least one brush is arranged at the winding unit if the winding unit is in the second position. Winding takes place in the second position, so that it is desirable to use the brush there. The receiving of the adhesive tape at the first rod and the second rod takes place in the first position, wherein the rotating element rotates. If the brush is arranged at the winding unit during the rotation of the rotating element at the first position, the brush can be disturbed, since the adhesive tape inevitably also winds around the brush, which is undesirable. It is therefore advantageous if the brush is arranged at the first rod and the second rod at least during the receiving of the adhesive tape, not at the winding unit but at the brush device.
[0013] Preferably, the at least one brush is pushed at the brush device by means of a gas device. Furthermore, it is preferable that the at least one brush is locked at the winding unit by means of a locking element. The gas device is simple and fast, so that a fast pushing of the brush is possible.
[0014] Preferably, if the at least one brush is arranged in the brush device, the at least one brush does not touch the first roller and / or the second roller in the first position in the case of a rotation of the rotating element. Thereby, the adhesive tape can be received without obstacles from the first roller and the second roller. Furthermore, no components rub against the brush during the rotation of the rotating element in the first position, so that the brush is protected for its original application, to brush the adhesive tape in the case of a winding cable in the second position.
[0015] Preferably, if the at least one brush is arranged at the winding unit, the at least one brush is arranged at the height of the bottom of the receiving portion in the first position and in the second position. Preferably, if one looks at the rotating element from the side (in the second direction), the brush protrudes slightly from the area of the receiving. The arrangement of the brush means that, in this case, there are bristles at the height of the bottom of the receiving portion, which are used to brush the adhesive tape in the winding. The brushing leads to a smoothing of the adhesive tape and a close fit at the cable to be wound, whereby the adhesion of the adhesive tape on the cable is improved.
[0016] Preferably, the first roller can be rotated independently in order to wind the adhesive tape to the first roller, and the second roller can be rotated passively together in order to tension the adhesive tape section at the rotating element at least partially via the receiving portion. The active rotation of the first roller makes it possible to receive a predetermined length of adhesive tape precisely at the first rod. The second roller can only be supported in a rotational manner and is thus manufactured in a simpler manner, however, it is sufficient for the tensioning of the adhesive tape or the adhesive tape section, so that the cable introduced into the receiving portion automatically comes into contact with the adhesive tape or the adhesive tape section, and a pre-fixing of the adhesive tape takes place at the position of the cable.
[0017] Furthermore, the above object is achieved by a method for wrapping a cable with a tape, by means of a device having at least a storage device for the tape, a clamping and separating unit for clamping and separating the tape and a wrapping unit for wrapping the tape around the cable, wherein the wrapping unit can be pushed at least between a first position and a second position and has a first roller and a second roller which are fixed at the wrapping unit for temporarily receiving the tape, wherein the method has the following steps: providing the wrapping unit in the first position, temporarily receiving the tape on at least the first roller and the second roller at the wrapping unit from the clamping and separating unit and separating the tape segment on the wrapping unit from the tape in the storage device by the clamping and separating unit, pushing the wrapping unit from the first position to the second position, providing the cable at the second position and wrapping the cable by transferring the tape segment from the first roller and the second roller of the wrapping unit.
[0018] The method has the advantage that it is very fast. The process essentially comprises only linear and rotational movements which can be carried out very quickly and precisely. In particular, the process can be synchronized with the process flow of the cable shaping device to optimally use the time. Thus, the receiving process of the tape on the first roller and the second roller has already been carried out while the cable or the cable bundle is being wound in the further cable shaping model. Then, the time required for the wrapping process itself, i.e. including stopping the cable bundle within the working area of the device, is very short and can lie in the range of about 3 seconds.
[0019] Preferably, the method has the further steps of pushing at least one brush from the brush device to the wrapping unit and fixing the at least one brush on the wrapping unit if the wrapping unit is in the first position and after separating the tape segment from the tape, pressing the tape segment against the cable during wrapping by the at least one brush in the second position and pushing the at least one brush from the wrapping unit to the brush device if the wrapping unit is in the first position and before the tape is temporarily received at the wrapping unit by the first roller and the second roller.
[0020] Preferably, in the step of temporarily receiving the tape segment, the rotating element is rotated in the first position relative to the wrapping unit such that the first roller and the second roller come into contact with the tape. Thereby, the first roller and the second roller are in contact with the tape, the tape or the tape segment is tensioned between the first roller and the second roller and the cable is introduced into the receiving portion in the (second position) which is in automatic contact with the tensioned tape segment and the tape segment can be reliably fixed on the cable.

[0023] Figure 2 a side view of an embodiment of a device with a winding unit in a first position is shown; Figure 1 a side view of an embodiment of a device with a winding unit in a first position is shown;
[0024] Figure 3 a perspective view of an embodiment of a device with a winding unit in a first position is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In the following, preferred embodiments are described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0026] Figure 1 An embodiment of a device 1 for winding a cable 2 with adhesive tape 4 is shown. The cable 2 can comprise one or more cables 2, which are preferably arranged as a cable bundle. The shown device 1 is position- fixed and designed as a compact unit. The device 1 can be powered and controlled via a control block 10. The device 1 is preferably part of a cable shaping apparatus. The cable 2 is wound with the help of the adhesive tape 4. In alternative embodiments, equivalent means for winding and fixing the cable 2 can also be used.
[0027] The shown device 1 has a base 13. On the base 13 at least a storage device 14 for the adhesive tape 4 is arranged. In alternative embodiments, multiple storage devices 14 can also be arranged. Furthermore, on the base 13 a clamping and separating unit 16 is arranged in addition. This clamping and separating unit 16 is arranged for clamping the adhesive tape 4 and separating a tape segment from the adhesive tape 4. As shown for example in Figure 3 the clamping and separating unit 16 clamps the adhesive tape 4 in particular with the help of a clamping element 18 and separates a tape segment from the adhesive tape 4 with the help of a separating element 19. The clamping element 18 comprises in a preferred embodiment at least two opposing jaw parts, which are moved towards each other to clamp and away from each other to release. The clamping element 18 preferably holds the adhesive tape 4 from the storage device 14 with slight pre-tension. The separating element 19 preferably comprises a blade, a knife or the like.
[0028] Furthermore, the shown device 1 comprises a winding unit 20 for winding a tape segment around the cable 2. The winding unit 20 is arranged at the base 13 via a pushing facility 12. The pushing facility 12 has to perform only a linear movement or straight line movement in the shown device 1. In a preferred embodiment, the movement facility 12 comprises a linear actuator. With the help of the pushing facility 12, the winding unit 20 can be pushed relative to the base 13 at least between a first position PI and a second position P2 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
[0029] The shown winding unit 20 comprises at least a first roller 25 and a second roller 26, which are fixed at the winding unit 20. The first roller 25 and the second roller 26 are rotatably fixed at the winding unit 20. The first roller 25 and the second roller 26 are oppositely arranged in the same orientation. The first roller 25 and the second roller 26 are arranged for temporarily receiving a tape segment in the winding unit 20. The first roller 25 is arranged to be wound with a predetermined amount of tape 4, which is needed for winding a cable 2 or cable bundle of a predetermined diameter with a predetermined number of layers. In particular, the first roller 25 and the second roller 26 are able to receive a tape segment from the clamping and separating unit 16 in a first position PI and to deliver to the cable 2 in a second position P2. When delivering the tape segment to the cable 2, the cable 2 is wound with the tape segment by the winding unit 20. Receiving the tape 4 to the winding unit 20 takes place outside the working area A of the device 1, so that the movement of the cable 2 in and from the device 1 can take place unhindered. In the cable forming apparatus, processes can take place in parallel in time, such as for example the movement and / or the provision of the cable 2 in the working area 1 and the receiving of the tape segment 4 at the winding unit 20.
[0030] For the winding, the winding unit 20 has a rotating element 22, which has a receiving portion 24 for the cable 2. The receiving portion 24 is preferably designed so that a cable 2 with a (overall diameter) diameter of up to 20 mm can be wound. In a preferred embodiment, the (overall diameter) diameter or circumference of the cable 2 or cable bundle is known. Thus, the number / length of the tape segment needed for a predetermined number of windings can be calculated and prepared. The rotating element 22 can be rotated in the receiving portion 24 to wind around the cable 2. In a preferred embodiment, the first roller 25 and the second roller 26 are arranged at the rotating element 20. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the first roller 25 can be rotated independently to wind the tape 4 to the first roller 25. Furthermore, the second roller 26 can be rotated passively together to at least partially pass the tape segment at the rotating element 22 via the receiving portion 24 and later to deliver the tape segment to the cable 2.
[0031] Furthermore, the shown device 1 has a brush device 30 with at least one brush 32. The brush 32 is arranged for pressing the tape segment on the cable 2 when winding. The shown brush device 30 is arranged on the base 13. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one brush 32 is pushable relative to the brush device 30. Preferably, the at least one brush 32 is pushed by means of a pneumatic device 36 on the brush device 30. In an alternative embodiment, other drive devices, like actuators or the like, are also feasible. If the at least one brush 32, such as for example the brush 32, is pushed, the brush 32 is pressed against the cable 2, so that the tape segment is pressed against the cable 2. In a preferred embodiment, the brush device 30 is arranged at the winding unit 20. In a preferred embodiment, the brush device 30 is arranged at the rotating element 22. In a preferred embodiment, the brush device 30 is arranged at the first roller 25 and / or the second roller 26. Figure 2 and Figure 3The at least one brush 32 is arranged on the brush device 30 in the first position PI in such a way that it does not touch the first roller 25 and / or the second roller 26 in the case of a rotation of the rotating element 22. Preferably, the at least one brush 32 can be pushed between the brush device 30 and the winding unit 20 if the winding unit 20 is located in the first position PI. For the pushing, furthermore, the rotating element 22 has to be aligned in such a way that the at least one brush 32 can be pushed from the brush device 30 into the guide 34 on the rotating element 22. For the alignment, the rotating element 22 has to be rotated, if necessary, until the guide 34 allows the brush 32 to be pushed from the brush device 30 onto the rotating element 22 or the winding unit 20. If the winding unit 20 (such as shown) is located in the second position P2, the at least one brush 32 is arranged on the winding unit 20 to brush the tape segment at the cable 2 when winding. In particular, the at least one brush 32 is arranged at the first position PI and the second position P2 at the height H of the bottom of the receiving portion 24 if the at least one brush 32 is arranged on the winding unit 20. Figure 1 If the winding unit 20 (such as shown) is located in the second position P2, the at least one brush 32 is arranged on the winding unit 20 to brush the tape segment at the cable 2 when winding. In particular, the at least one brush 32 is arranged at the first position PI and the second position P2 at the height H of the bottom of the receiving portion 24 if the at least one brush 32 is arranged on the winding unit 20.
[0032] In the following, a preferred embodiment of a method for winding a cable 2 using a tape 4 will be described. The method is suitable to be carried out using the device 1 having at least a storage device 14 for the tape 4, a clamping and separating unit 16 for clamping the tape 4 and separating a tape segment, a winding unit 20 for winding the tape segment around the cable 2, wherein the winding unit 20 can be pushed between a first position PI and a second position P2, and having a first roller 25 and a second roller 26 for temporarily receiving the tape segment fixed on the winding unit 20. The method has the following steps.
[0033] In a first step, the provision of the winding unit 20 takes place in the first position P1. Subsequently, the temporary receiving of the adhesive tape 4 onto at least the first roller 25 and the second roller 26 on the winding unit 20 takes place. The receiving of the adhesive tape 4 comes from the clamping and separating unit 16. In particular, in the step of temporarily receiving the adhesive tape section onto the winding unit 20, the rotating element 22 is rotated relative to the winding unit 20 in the first position P1, so that the first roller 25 and the second roller 26 come into contact with the adhesive tape 4. Preferably, in this case, first the first roller 25 is brought d into the vicinity of the clamping element 18 and there comes into contact with a piece of adhesive tape 4 that protrudes from the clamping element 18. This piece of adhesive tape 4 then adheres to the first roller 25. The first roller 25 can then rotate independently, for example, by means of an electric motor, and unwind the adhesive tape 4 from the storage device 14 and wind it onto itself. Thereafter, if a predetermined amount or length of adhesive tape 4 has been received onto the first roller 25, the rotating element 22 can be rotated so that the second roller 26 comes into contact with the adhesive tape 4 and adheres thereto. The winding unit 20 is then moved to this position by means of the pushing device 12, i.e. the clamping element 18 can grasp the adhesive tape 4 behind the second roller 26. If a predetermined amount or length of adhesive tape 4 has been received onto the first roller 25 or entirely on the winding unit 20 and the second roller 26 is in contact with the adhesive tape 4, the adhesive tape section on the winding unit 20 is separated from the adhesive tape 4 in the storage device 14 by means of the clamping and separating unit 16. In the embodiment shown, the separating element 19, for example a blade, cuts through the adhesive tape 4 between the clamping element 18 and the rotating element 22, wherein, after the separation, preferably still a small piece of adhesive tape 4 protrudes from the clamping element 18 so that this piece of adhesive tape 4 adheres at the first roller 25 in the next cycle.
[0034] If the winding unit 20 is located in the first position P1 and the adhesive tape section has been separated from the adhesive tape 4, in the preferred embodiment at least one brush 32 is pushed from the brush device 30 to the winding unit 20. If the brush 32 is completely arranged at the winding unit 20, in particular in the guide 34 at the rotating element 22, the at least one brush 32 is fixed at the winding unit 20. Preferably, the fixing is effected by means of a spring-tensioned blocking pin.
[0035] If the predetermined adhesive tape section is temporarily received at the winding unit 20 and preferably at least one brush 32 is fixed at the winding unit 20, the winding unit 20 is pushed from the first position Pi to a second position P2 at which the cable 2 is provided. The pushing of the winding unit 20 is in the preferred embodiment performed in the first direction X. The distance D between the first position Pi and the second position P2 is variably adjustable. The second position P2 corresponds to a position in the working area A of the device 1. In the preferred embodiment the cable 2 is transported in the cable shaping apparatus in the second direction Y through the apparatus. If the cable 2 is arranged in the working area A, the shown device 1 moves the winding unit 20 to the working area A so that the cable 2 is received in the receiving portion 24 of the rotating element 22. The receiving of the cable 2 is preferably transversal, in particular perpendicular, to the second direction Y, from the first direction X. Then, in the preferred embodiment, first the rotating element 22 is rotated clockwise by about 90°, whereby the free end of the adhesive tape section is loosened from the second roller 26. Subsequently, the cable 2 is wound by releasing the adhesive tape section from the first roller 25 of the winding unit 20. In the released state, the rotating element 22 rotates around the cable 2 and in this way winds the cable 2. In particular, the rotating element 22 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined number of turns and completely unwinds the adhesive tape section from the first roller 25. During the winding, the adhesive tape section is pressed at the cable 2 in the second position P2 by the at least one brush 32. Preferably, the rotating element 22 is stopped in such an orientation that the rotating element 22 has to be pushed only by means of the pushing device 12 to the first position Pi and the brush 32 can be immediately moved to the brush device 30.
[0036] If the adhesive tape section is completely transferred from the winding unit 20 onto the cable 2 and the winding unit 20 is arranged in a way to return to the first position Pi and before the adhesive tape 4 is temporarily received at the first and second rollers 25, 26 of the winding unit 20, preferably the at least one brush 32 is pushed from the winding unit 20 to the brush device 30. The pushing of the brush 32 in the first position Pi is in the preferred embodiment performed in the third direction Z. In particular, in the Figure 1 and Figure 3 the receiving portion 24 is rotated from the orientation in the first direction X to the orientation in the third direction Z in order to push the brush 32 from the winding unit 20 to the brush device 30. Then, the process cycle is completed and a new cycle can be started by receiving the adhesive tape 4 to the winding unit 20 and arranging the cable 2 in the working area A of the device 1.
