Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing equipment technology, specifically a loading mechanism and handling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In battery production, handling equipment is needed to move electrode rolls, thereby enabling the loading or transfer of electrode rolls, such as loading electrode rolls onto winding equipment. Handling equipment typically includes a loading shaft, which is used to load the electrode rolls.
[0003] The loading shaft needs to be moved to axially align with the preparation shaft in order to push the material roll on the loading shaft onto the preparation shaft. However, in actual use, there are cases where the loading shaft and the preparation shaft are not aligned, requiring multiple alignment operations, which seriously affects the material roll transfer efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a loading mechanism and handling equipment that can improve docking accuracy and thus improve the efficiency of material roll transfer, in order to address the above problems.
[0005] A loading mechanism, comprising:
[0006] The loading shaft has a mounting end and an inlet / outlet end as opposite ends of the loading shaft;
[0007] An end cap assembly includes an end cap, a positioning pin, and a cursor transmitter. The end cap covers the end face of the inlet / outlet end, and the positioning pin and the cursor transmitter are both mounted on the end cap.
[0008] A feeding assembly, mounted on the feeding shaft, is used to push the material roll on the feeding shaft axially toward the inlet / outlet end.
[0009] In some embodiments, the cursor transmitter is used to emit a crosshair cursor.
[0010] In some embodiments, the end cap assembly further includes an elastic element disposed within the end cap, the end cap having a first mounting hole, the locating pin passing through the first mounting hole, and one end of the locating pin located on the inner side of the end cap abutting against the elastic element, the elastic element being used to provide elastic force that causes the locating pin to have a tendency to move outward of the end cap.
[0011] In some embodiments, the end cap assembly further includes an obstacle sensor mounted on the end cap.
[0012] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a blocking drive and a blocking pin, and a second mounting hole is provided on the peripheral surface of the feeding shaft, the second mounting hole being located at the inlet and outlet ends;
[0013] The blocking drive is installed inside the loading shaft, and the blocking pin is connected to the driving end of the blocking drive and passes through the second mounting hole; the blocking drive is used to drive the blocking pin to pass out of the second mounting hole or retract into the second mounting hole.
[0014] In some embodiments, the loading mechanism further includes a mounting base and a lidar, the mounting end of the loading shaft is connected to the mounting base, the top of the mounting base is used to connect to the drive end of the motion device, and the lidar is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base.
[0015] In some embodiments, the loading mechanism further includes a tilt sensor installed inside the loading shaft, the tilt sensor being used to detect the tilt angle of the loading shaft.
[0016] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes a plurality of roll sensors, each mounted on the feeding shaft, with each roll sensor spaced apart along the axial direction of the feeding shaft, and used to detect whether there is a roll in a corresponding area on the feeding shaft.
[0017] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly includes a feeding block, a belt drive unit, and a feeding drive component. The feeding block is movably connected to the loading shaft along the axial direction of the loading shaft. The feeding drive component and the belt drive unit are both mounted on the loading shaft, and the belt drive unit is drively connected between the feeding drive component and the feeding block.
[0018] In some embodiments, the belt drive unit includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a drive belt. The driving pulley is mounted on the output shaft of the feeding drive unit. The driven pulley is rotatably connected to the loading shaft and is spaced apart from the driving pulley along the axial direction of the loading shaft. The drive belt is tensioned and sleeved between the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The feeding block is fixedly connected to the drive belt.
[0019] In some embodiments, the loading shaft is a hollow shaft, the first portion of the transmission belt located on the same side as the driving pulley and the driven pulley is located inside the cavity of the loading shaft, the second portion of the transmission belt located on the other side of the driving pulley and the driven pulley is located outside the loading shaft, and the second portion of the transmission belt is connected to the feeding block.
[0020] A handling device includes a loading mechanism as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0021] In actual use, the aforementioned loading mechanism and handling equipment firstly load the material roll onto the loading shaft using a feeding mechanism or manually. Then, a motion device drives the loading mechanism to move towards the preparation shaft until the inlet / outlet end of the loading shaft axially aligns with the preparation shaft. During this alignment process, a cursor emitted by a cursor transmitter adjusts the position of the loading mechanism until the cursor directly illuminates the designated position on the preparation shaft. As the loading shaft continues to move closer to the preparation shaft, a positioning pin gradually inserts into the positioning hole on the preparation shaft, further positioning the loading shaft and ensuring accurate axial alignment. After the loading shaft and preparation shaft are axially aligned, the feeding assembly pushes the material roll on the loading shaft towards the inlet / outlet end until some or all of the material roll leaves the loading shaft and moves onto the preparation shaft, thus transferring the material roll from the loading shaft to the preparation shaft. Optionally, the cursor transmitter can be a crosshair cursor transmitter, i.e., the cursor transmitter emits a crosshair.
[0022] Thus, when the loading shaft and the preparation shaft are far apart, the cursor emitted by the cursor transmitter is used to position the loading shaft (i.e., cursor positioning), thereby ensuring that the positioning pin can be inserted into the positioning hole on the preparation shaft; when the loading shaft and the preparation shaft are close together, the cooperation between the positioning pin and the positioning hole is used to achieve precise positioning of the loading shaft (i.e., positioning pin positioning), thereby ensuring that the loading shaft can quickly and accurately axially align with the preparation shaft, avoiding misalignment and improving the transfer efficiency of the material roll.

[0036] This application provides a material handling device, including a motion device and a loading mechanism mounted on the drive end of the motion device. The loading mechanism is used to load one or more rolls of material, and the motion device is used to drive the loading mechanism to move towards a preparation shaft, so as to transfer the rolls of material on the loading mechanism to the preparation shaft, thereby realizing the transfer of the rolls of material. It should be noted that the motion device can adopt relatively mature existing technology, as long as it can drive the loading mechanism to perform lifting, rotation and / or translation movements, and is not limited thereto.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The loading mechanism includes a loading shaft 10, an end cap assembly 70, and a feeding assembly 30. The loading shaft 10 has a mounting end a1 and an inlet / outlet end a2 as its two opposite ends. The end cap assembly 70 includes an end cap 71, a positioning pin 72, and a cursor transmitter 73. The end cap 71 covers the end face of the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10. The positioning pin 72 and the cursor transmitter 73 are both mounted on the end cap 71. Correspondingly, the loading shaft has a positioning hole for positioning and engaging with the positioning pin 72. The feeding assembly 30 is disposed on the loading shaft 10 and is used to push the material roll on the loading shaft 10 axially towards the inlet / outlet end a2.
[0038] In actual use, the aforementioned loading mechanism first loads the material roll onto the loading shaft 10 using a feeding mechanism or manually. Then, a motion device drives the loading mechanism to move towards the preparation shaft until the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 axially aligns with the preparation shaft. During the alignment process, a cursor emitted by a cursor transmitter 73 adjusts the position of the loading mechanism until the cursor emitted by the cursor transmitter 73 directly illuminates the designated position on the preparation shaft. As the loading shaft 10 continues to move closer to the preparation shaft, the positioning pin 72 gradually inserts into the positioning hole on the preparation shaft, further positioning the loading shaft 10 and ensuring that the loading shaft 10 is accurately aligned axially with the preparation shaft. After the loading shaft 10 is aligned axially with the preparation shaft, the feeding assembly 30 pushes the material roll on the loading shaft 10 towards the inlet / outlet end a2 until part or all of the material roll leaves the loading shaft 10 and moves onto the preparation shaft, thus transferring the material roll from the loading shaft 10 to the preparation shaft. Optionally, the cursor transmitter 73 can be a crosshair cursor transmitter, that is, the cursor transmitter 73 is used to emit a crosshair cursor.
[0039] Thus, when the loading shaft 10 and the preparation shaft are far apart, the cursor emitted by the cursor transmitter 73 is used to position the loading shaft 10 (i.e., cursor positioning), thereby ensuring that the positioning pin 72 can be inserted into the positioning hole on the preparation shaft; when the loading shaft 10 and the preparation shaft are close together, the cooperation between the positioning pin 72 and the positioning hole is used to achieve precise positioning of the loading shaft 10 (i.e., positioning pin 72 positioning), thereby ensuring that the loading shaft 10 can quickly and accurately axially align with the preparation shaft, avoiding misalignment and improving the transfer efficiency of the material roll.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the end cap assembly 70 further includes an elastic element disposed within the end cap 71. The end cap 71 has a first mounting hole, preferably with its central axis parallel to the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. A locating pin 72 passes through the first mounting hole on the end cap 71, with one end of the locating pin 72 located inside the end cap 71 abutting against the elastic element. This elastic element provides a spring force that causes the locating pin 72 to tend to move outward from the end cap 71. Thus, under external force, the locating pin 72 can overcome the spring force provided by the elastic element and move inward from the end cap 71 (i.e., retract into the first mounting hole). When the external force disappears, the locating pin 72 can move outward from the end cap 71 under the action of the elastic element (i.e., pop out of the first mounting hole). During the docking process, if there is a deviation between the locating pin 72 and the locating hole, the locating pin 72 can move inward from the end cap 71 under the pressure of the loading shaft, thereby preventing damage from a hard collision between the locating pin 72 and the loading shaft. Optionally, the elastic element can be a spring.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, the end cap assembly 70 further includes an obstacle sensor 74 mounted on the end cap 71. This obstacle sensor 74 is used to detect whether there is an obstacle near the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 during the movement of the loading mechanism. Thus, if the obstacle sensor 74 detects an obstacle during the movement of the loading mechanism by the motion device, the motion device stops driving the loading mechanism, thereby preventing the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 from colliding with the obstacle.
[0042] Understandably, obstacle sensor 74 can detect obstacles within a certain range, which is called the detection range. When obstacle sensor 74 detects an obstacle within the detection range, the motion device stops driving the loading mechanism to avoid collision between the inlet / outlet end a2 of loading shaft 10 and the obstacle.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the loading mechanism also includes a mounting base 20 (see...). Figure 1 ) and lidar 24 (see Figure 1 The mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10 is connected to the mounting base 20, and the top of the mounting base 20 is connected to the drive end of the motion device, thereby enabling the motion device to drive the loading shaft 10 to move. A lidar 24 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 20 to detect whether there are obstacles at the bottom of the loading mechanism during its movement. Thus, if the lidar 24 detects an obstacle while the motion device is driving the loading mechanism, the motion device stops driving the loading mechanism, thereby preventing the loading shaft 10 or the mounting base 20 from colliding with the obstacle.
[0044] Understandably, the lidar 24 can detect obstacles within a certain range, which is called the detection range. When the lidar 24 detects an obstacle within the detection range, the motion device stops driving the loading mechanism to avoid collision between the loading shaft 10 or the mounting base 20 and the obstacle.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, the loading mechanism also includes a tilt sensor 84 installed inside the loading shaft 10 (see Figure 7 The tilt sensor 84 is used to detect the tilt angle of the loading shaft 10. If the tilt sensor 84 detects that the tilt angle of the loading shaft 10 relative to the horizontal plane is greater than a preset angle, the loading shaft 10 needs to be adjusted or replaced to ensure that the docking accuracy between the loading shaft 10 and the preparation shaft meets the requirements.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism also includes multiple roll sensors 86, all mounted on the feeding shaft (see...). Figure 7The various roll sensors 86 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. Each roll sensor 86 is used to detect whether there is a roll of material in a corresponding area on the loading shaft 10. In this way, the presence of a roll of material on the loading shaft 10 is detected by the roll sensors 86 so that the roll of material can be loaded onto the loading shaft 10 in a timely manner.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a blocking drive (not shown) and a blocking pin 82. A second mounting hole is formed on the peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10, and the second mounting hole is located at the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10. The blocking drive is installed inside the loading shaft 10. The blocking pin 82 is connected to the driving end of the blocking drive and passes through the second mounting hole. The blocking drive is used to drive the blocking pin 82 to move radially along the loading shaft 10, so that the blocking pin 82 can pass through or retract into the second mounting hole. Optionally, the blocking drive can be a cylinder.
[0048] Thus, when feeding is not required, the blocking drive unit drives the blocking pin 82 to extend from the second mounting hole, preventing the material roll on the feeding shaft 10 from detaching from the feeding end a2. When feeding is required, the blocking drive unit drives the blocking pin 82 to retract into the second mounting hole, preventing the blocking pin 82 from preventing the material roll on the feeding shaft 10 from detaching from the feeding end a2. At this time, the feeding assembly 30 can be used to push the material roll on the feeding shaft 10 toward the feeding end a2 until it detaches from the feeding shaft 10 and moves to the preparation shaft.
[0049] Please see Figures 4 to 7 In the embodiments of this application, the feeding assembly 30 includes a feeding block 31, a belt drive unit 33, and a feeding drive member 35. The feeding block 31 is movably connected to the loading shaft 10 along the axial direction, thereby enabling the feeding block 31 to push each roll of material on the loading shaft 10 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10, and thus pushing each roll of material on the loading shaft 10 away from the loading shaft 10 one by one. The feeding drive member 35 and the belt drive unit 33 are both mounted on the loading shaft 10, and the belt drive unit 33 is drively connected between the feeding drive member 35 and the feeding block 31, so that the feeding drive member 35 can drive the feeding block 31 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10 through the belt drive unit 33, that is, the belt drive unit 33 transmits the power provided by the feeding drive member 35 to the feeding block 31.
[0050] In actual use, firstly, the material roll is loaded onto the loading shaft 10 by the feeding mechanism or manually; then, the motion device drives the loading mechanism to move until the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 is axially aligned with the preparation shaft; then, the feeding drive 35 drives the feeding block 31 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10 toward the preparation shaft through the belt drive unit 33, until part or all of the material roll on the loading shaft 10 is pushed onto the preparation shaft, thus realizing the transfer of the material roll on the loading shaft 10 to the preparation shaft.
[0051] Thus, the transmission between the feeding drive 35 and the feeding block 31 is realized by the belt drive unit 33 installed on the feeding shaft 10. The belt drive unit 33 has the characteristics of simple assembly and small space occupation. It is not necessary to install the belt drive unit 33 inside the feeding shaft 10, thereby avoiding the need to use a modular feeding shaft (i.e. a feeding shaft assembled from at least two parts). An integrated feeding shaft 10 can be used, which is beneficial to improve the strength of the feeding shaft 10 and thus enhance the load-bearing capacity of the feeding shaft 10.
[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the belt drive unit 33 includes a driving pulley 331, a driven pulley 333, and a drive belt 335. The driving pulley 331 is mounted on the output shaft of the feeding drive member 35, thereby enabling the feeding drive member 35 to drive the driving pulley 331 to rotate. The driven pulley 333 is rotatably connected to the loading shaft 10 and is spaced apart from the driving pulley 331 along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. The drive belt 335 is tensioned and sleeved between the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333, so that the driving pulley 331 can drive the drive belt 335 to move between the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333. The feeding block 31 is fixedly connected to the drive belt 335, thereby enabling the drive belt 335 to drive the feeding block 31 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. Thus, when material needs to be pushed, the material feeding drive 35 drives the drive pulley 331 to rotate, and the drive pulley 331 drives the transmission belt 335 to move between the drive pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333, that is, to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. The transmission belt 335 then drives the material feeding block 31 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10 until the material feeding block 31 pushes the material roll on the loading shaft 10 away from the loading shaft 10 along the axial direction.
[0053] Optionally, the feeding drive 35 can be a motor, the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333 can be synchronous pulleys, and the transmission belt 335 can be a synchronous belt.
[0054] Furthermore, the loading mechanism also includes a mounting base 20, and the loading shaft 10 has a mounting end a1 and an inlet / outlet end a2 as its two axial ends. The mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 20, and the inlet / outlet end a2 is used to feed the material roll through, that is, the material roll is loaded onto the loading shaft 10 through the inlet / outlet end a2, or the material roll on the loading shaft 10 leaves the loading shaft 10 from the inlet / outlet end a2 under the pushing action of the feeding block 31. Thus, in actual use, firstly, the loading shaft 10 is controlled to move until the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 is axially aligned with the preparation shaft; then, the feeding drive 35 drives the drive pulley 331 to rotate, the drive pulley 331 drives the transmission belt 335 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10, and the transmission belt 335 drives the feeding block 31 to move along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10 toward the preparation shaft, thereby pushing each roll of material on the loading shaft 10 toward the inlet / outlet end a2 until some or all of the rolls of material on the loading shaft 10 are pushed onto the preparation shaft, thus realizing the transfer of the rolls of material on the loading shaft 10 to the preparation shaft.
[0055] Furthermore, the driving pulley 331 is located at the mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10, and the driven pulley 333 is located at the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10. This allows the transmission belt 335, which is tensioned between the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333, to extend from the mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10 to the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10. Consequently, the transmission belt 335 can drive the material feeding block 31 to move between the mounting end a1 and the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10. Since the driving pulley 331 is located at the mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10, the material feeding drive 35 is also located at the mounting end a1 of the loading shaft 10, thereby avoiding interference from the material feeding drive 35 with the axial movement of the coil along the loading shaft 10.
[0056] Please continue reading Figures 4 to 7 Furthermore, the loading shaft 10 is a hollow shaft, and the first portion 3351 of the drive belt 335, located on the same side as the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333, is located inside the cavity of the loading shaft 10. The second portion 3352 of the drive belt 335, located on the other side of the driving pulley 331 and the driven pulley 333, is located outside the loading shaft 10. The second portion 3352 of the drive belt 335 is connected to the feeding block 31. In this way, by utilizing the cavity of the loading shaft 10 to accommodate the first portion 3351 of the drive belt 335, the radial space of the loading shaft 10 is further saved, making the structure more compact.
[0057] Furthermore, the peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10 has a first notch b1 and a second notch b2 connecting the inner cavity of the loading shaft 10 to the outer side. The driving pulley 331 is mounted on the output shaft of the feeding drive 35 and is located at the first notch b1. The driven pulley 333 is rotatably connected at the second notch b2. Thus, the portion of the drive belt 335 that wraps around the side of the driving pulley 331 facing the inner cavity of the loading shaft 10 and the side of the driven pulley 333 facing the inner cavity of the loading shaft 10 is the first portion 3351, which is located inside the inner cavity of the loading shaft 10; the portion of the drive belt 335 that wraps around the side of the driving pulley 331 facing the outer side of the loading shaft 10 and the side of the driven pulley 333 facing the outer side of the loading shaft 10 is the second portion 3352, which is located outside the loading shaft 10 and connected to the feeding block 31.
[0058] In the embodiments of this application, the feeding assembly 30 further includes a protective cover 37, which is fixedly connected to the peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10. The second portion 3352 of the transmission belt 335 is located inside the protective cover 37, thereby protecting the second portion 3352 of the transmission belt 335 from adverse effects on the operation of the transmission belt 335 by the protective cover 37. The protective cover 37 has a clearance groove 371 extending axially along the loading shaft 10. A portion of the feeding block 31 passes through the clearance groove 371 into the protective cover 37 and connects with the second portion 3352 of the transmission belt 335 located inside the protective cover 37, thereby enabling the transmission belt 335 to drive the feeding block 31 to move axially along the loading shaft 10.
[0059] Furthermore, the feeding block 31 is slidably engaged with the relief groove 371, thereby using the relief groove 371 to guide the axial movement of the feeding block 31 along the loading shaft 10, ensuring that the feeding action of the feeding block 31 is stable and reliable.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, there are two feeding components 30, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the loading shaft 10 in the radial direction. In this way, the feeding blocks 31 of the two feeding components 30 simultaneously push each roll of material on the loading shaft 10, making the feeding action more stable and reliable, and avoiding jamming of the rolls due to uneven force.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a plurality of support wheels 40, each of which is rotatably connected to the loading shaft 10. At least a portion of each support wheel 40 protrudes from the circumferential upper surface of the loading shaft 10. Thus, the material roll moving from the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10 to the loading shaft 10 is supported on the support wheels 40, ensuring that the material roll can move more easily along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10 and avoiding direct contact between the material roll and the circumferential surface of the loading shaft 10, which would cause greater wear.
[0062] Optionally, the support wheels 40 on the loading shaft 10 are divided into multiple groups, each group including multiple support wheels 40. The support wheels 40 in each group are arranged at circumferential intervals along the loading shaft 10, and the support wheels 40 in the same group are arranged in a row at axial intervals along the loading shaft 10. Specifically... Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the loading shaft 10 is provided with 3 sets of support wheels 40, each set including 5 support wheels 40.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, the loading mechanism further includes a tensioning drive 50 and a tensioning block 60. A receiving groove 101 is formed on the peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10. The tensioning drive 50 is installed within the receiving groove 101, and the tensioning block 60 is connected to the driving end of the tensioning drive 50. The tensioning drive 50 is used to drive the tensioning block 60 to extend out of or retract into the receiving groove 101. Optionally, the tensioning drive 50 can be a cylinder.
[0064] Thus, when the pusher block 31 is not needed to push the roll, the tensioning drive 50 drives the tensioning block 60 to extend outside the receiving groove 101, so that the tensioning block 60 abuts against the inner ring of the roll, thereby tensioning the roll on the loading shaft 10 and preventing the roll from falling due to axial movement along the loading shaft 10. When the pusher block 31 needs to push the roll, firstly, the tensioning drive 50 drives the tensioning block 60 to retract into the receiving groove 101, so that the tensioning block 60 separates from the roll; then, the pusher block 31 moves along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10, thereby pushing the roll on the loading shaft 10 toward the inlet / outlet end a2 of the loading shaft 10, until all or part of the roll on the loading shaft 10 is pushed away from the loading shaft 10 and moved to the preparation shaft.
[0065] Preferably, the receiving groove 101 is formed on the lower peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10. Thus, when the tensioning drive 50 drives the tensioning block 60 to move downward, the tensioning block 60 extends out of the receiving groove 101 and abuts against the inner ring of the material roll, thereby tensioning the material roll on the loading shaft 10; when the tensioning drive 50 drives the tensioning block 60 to move upward, the tensioning block 60 retracts into the receiving groove 101 and separates from the material roll, thereby allowing the material roll to move axially along the loading shaft 10 under the pushing action of the feeding block 31.
[0066] Preferably, a plurality of receiving grooves 101 are formed on the peripheral surface of the loading shaft 10, and the receiving grooves 101 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the loading shaft 10. Multiple tensioning drive members 50 are provided, and each tensioning drive member 50 is installed in a corresponding receiving groove 101. Each tensioning drive member 50 has a tensioning block 60 connected to its driving end. Thus, by simultaneously driving each tensioning block 60 out of the receiving groove 101 using each tensioning drive member 50, until each tensioning block 60 abuts against the inner ring of its corresponding material roll, thereby tensioning and fixing each material roll on the loading shaft 10.
