Description

1 TARIFF AUTOMATIC BELLOWS WINDING MACHINE TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates to an automated system used in the production of rubber-based air suspension bellows. It relates to a bellows winding machine that functions as such. The invention specifically relates to automation systems for the production of cord and rubber material in cylindrical form. The machine automatically cuts the cord and rubber after it is attached. the layers are automatically wound on top of each other at the desired angle and the wiring process Automatic bellows winding machine that enables the production of ready-made cylindrical semi-finished products. It is related to. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE The production of an air bellows consists of the following stages: The bellows are mixed in a mixer. A suitable rubber mixture is formed. As a result of the mixing, plates are extracted from the mixer. The rubber produced is sent to the calender unit, which is the next process. 20 A calender is a process where rubber plates are drawn to the desired thickness by passing them through rollers. It also provides double-sided coating of cord fabric with rubber. This happens through this means. After the calendering process, the winding (fabrication) process is carried out. The inner 25 that forms the bellows. rubber, two cord fabrics and outer rubber layers respectively belong to the movable part of the garment table. They are placed at appropriate angles on the conveyor. Then the conveyor moves. and the layers on the conveyor, a cylindrical section located at the end of the garment table It is wound onto the mandrel. After this process, the cylindrical semi-finished bellows are wired. It is subjected to processing. 30 In the previous technique, the angled cut of the cord fabric and the cutting of the rubber were done by the operator. This is done manually. This process prevents standardization and increases the margin of error. It increases. If the length cutting process is done incorrectly, there will not be enough overlap. Because this is not possible, the quality of the product is negatively affected. And there is even a possibility of it being scrapped. It is high. It also increases the cost of the operator at the machine, because each operation... 2 A different operator must be assigned to the machine. Multiple operators on one machine Because they have to work, there is a need to find trained, skilled operators. Finally, the cycle time varies in a machine operated by a human. Production times vary due to operator-related reasons. This results in a production delay of 5. This causes disruptions in planning. The patent search revealed that the invention is similar to an automatic bellows winding machine. No patent has been found. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The main purpose of the invention is to automate the process of rolling cord and rubber material into cylinders using automated systems. The machine automatically cuts the cord and rubber after it is attached. The layers are automatically wrapped around each other at the desired angle and the wiring process begins in 15 minutes. Automatic bellows winding machine that enables the production of ready-made cylindrical semi-finished products. To improve. Thanks to this invention, cord and rubber material can be processed in cylindrical form using automation systems. Once attached to the machine, it is automatically cut, providing a standard product and a fixed cycle time of 20 minutes. It has been ensured that it is obtained. The advantages obtained with the automatic bellows winding machine, which is the subject of this invention, are listed below. It is given in this form. a) A standard product has been obtained. b) A standard and easily calculable cycle time has been obtained. c) Operator costs have been reduced. d) The number of scrapped items has been minimized. e) The problem of finding trained, experienced operators has been reduced. 30 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1 shows a general perspective view of the automatic bellows winding machine, which is the subject of the invention. 35 3 REFERENCE NUMBERS A.

It automatically cuts after being attached, and the cut cord and rubber layers are 20 The cylindrical shape automatically coils around itself at the desired angle and is ready for the wiring process. It relates to the automatic bellows winding machine (A) which enables the production of the semi-finished product. As shown in Figure 1, the automatic bellows winding machine (A) winds the rubber material into a cylinder. an internal rubber supply unit 25 which is attached from the rear of the unit with the help of an operator. (1) and includes an external rubber feed unit (2). Rubber conveyor belt (6), internal It is fed from the rubber feeding unit (1) and the outer rubber feeding unit (2). and preferably one inner and one outer rubber feeding unit for the outer rubber layers (1, 2) It is used. Cord glands are placed in the 1st and 2nd cord gland feeding units (3) in cylindrical form. Cord The fabrics are fed onto the cord conveyor belts (7) by cord fabric feeding units (3). Rubber material from the inner and outer rubber feeding units (1, 2) is cut into rubber cutting The units (4) cut the material to the desired size automatically. 35 4 Similarly, cords coming from cord feeding units (3) are automatically cord cutting units designed specifically for cutting at the desired angle (5) It is used. Rubber conveyor belt (6) 5 to make the rubber suitable for the cutting length. It is used. Similarly, cord fabrics are brought to the cutting length. conveyor belt (7) is used. When it is time to cut the inner and outer rubber in the rubber cutting unit (4), one rubber a rubber winding conveyor belt 10 without changing its direction and angle with transfer system (8). (10) is transferred to it. Taking the cut cord fabric from the cord cutting unit (5) and adjusting its angle, the cord winding A cord transfer system (9) is used to place it on the conveyor belt (11). The layers of rubber and cord fabric cut in the rubber and cord cutting units (4, 5) are formed into a rubber winding conveyor belt (10) and cord winding conveyor for winding onto mandrel (12). The conveyor belt (11) is brought onto the rubber and cord winding conveyor belts (10, 11). After the product angles are checked one last time, if they are not at the correct angle, the rubber and cord will be replaced. The winding conveyor belts (10, 11) move angularly to bring the products to the correct angles and 20 Prepares it for winding. Mandrel (12), cut rubber and cord fabric layers, rubber winding conveyor belt (10) and After the cord winding is transferred onto the conveyor belt (11), it is conveyed on the linear system. By making linear movement along the bands (10, 11), the layers are wrapped and the final 25 It enables the creation of the product. Machine Working Principle: Inner rubber from the inner rubber feeding unit (1), rubber The material is brought to the length to be cut by conveyor belt (6). At the same time, overlapping occurs during winding. The nylon strips that correspond to the parts peel off the rubber. The painted inner 30 The rubber is cut by the rubber cutting unit (4). Similarly, the outer rubber feed The outer rubber from unit (2) is brought to the size where it will be cut by the rubber conveyor belt (6). Simultaneously, nylon, in the form of strips of rubber, overlaps the sections during winding. It peels off. The painted outer rubber is cut with the rubber cutting unit (4). Rubber Inner rubber and outer rubber, made ready with transfer system (8), rubber winding conveyor 35 The band (10) is placed on it. The movable mandrel (12) assembly wraps the inner rubber around the mandrel (12) while simultaneously wrapping the cord fabric. Cord fabrics fed by feeding units (3) will be cut by means of cord conveyor belt (7). The dye is brought in. Using a special cutting technique unique to our company, the cord fabrics are cut at an angle. With the transfer system (9), the cord winding is taken onto the conveyor belt (11). Inner rubber mandrel (12) After wrapping, the mandrel (12) comes into position to wrap the cord glands. Cord wrapping 5 The conveyor belts (11) move and drive the cord fabrics toward the mandrel (12). Two cords While the fabric is wrapped around the mandrel (12), the rubber cutting unit (4) cuts the outer rubber and makes it ready. It brings. After the outer rubber is cut, the outer rubber is wrapped with the rubber transfer system (8) 10 The cord fabrics are placed on the conveyor belt (10). The mandrel (12) that wraps the cord fabrics around it is finally placed on the outside. They wrap the rubber fabric around it and take the finished product to the product exit point.
