Pivotable Lap Roll Receptacle for Variable Height Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for transferring lap rolls from a lap-forming machine to a transport vehicle are either expensive or complex, particularly when dealing with height differences between the delivery and take-up points, which can vary across different combing machines.
Innovation Solution
A pivotably mounted receptacle with an adjustable boundary wall and sloping guide surface allows for the precise positioning and transfer of lap rolls to transport vehicles with varying receiving heights, ensuring the rolls are not compressed and are guided laterally during pivoting, using gravity and adjustable mounting to maintain the roll's position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If lifting cylinders and swivel cylinders are used to transfer laps at different heights, then height difference compensation is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is made pivotable about a horizontal axis, allowing dynamic adjustment of the delivery height to match different receiving heights on combing machines. This dynamic positioning eliminates the need for complex lifting cylinders and height adjustment mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support frame is raised and swiveled to transfer laps, then different receiving heights are accommodated, but the structure becomes more expensive and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The pivotable support frame provides a simple mechanical solution for accommodating different receiving heights, replacing expensive and complex lifting and positioning systems. The pivot mechanism allows easy adjustment while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transport carriages with different receiving heights are used, then adaptability to various combing machines is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using multiple static transport carriages with different fixed receiving heights, the invention employs a single pivotable support frame that can dynamically adjust its delivery height. This eliminates the need for multiple specialized carriages, reducing device complexity while maintaining full adaptability to various combing machines.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution enables a simple and cost-effective method to load transport carriages with different receiving heights, ensuring efficient and gentle handling of rolls across various combing machine configurations without compressing the outer winding layer.
Implementation Method 1
The ejected roll is rolled on the guide surface in the direction of the boundary wall by its gravity and under the action of the ejection force on the guide surface

AI summary
The device has a receiver (14) supported to pivot around a fixed horizontal axis (15) over a adjustment unit (Z1). A unit (18) is adjustably supported in the receiver and remains in connection with an adjusting unit, over which the position of the unit is adjusted and defined to the pivot axis of the receiver.
