Winding Roll Transport Carriage with Circumferential Rollers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing winding and binding devices for elongate products like hoses and pipes often cause damage and entanglement during processing, leading to quality issues and instability in the wound rolls, particularly for delicate materials like drip irrigation pipes.
Innovation Solution
A device with a carriage equipped with rollers distributed over the circumference of the winding roll, which moves along a slideway plane to maintain constant contact and support the roll from the winding station to the binding station, ensuring uninterrupted and uniform handling to prevent crushing or tangling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the winding roll is transported without special support, then the device complexity is reduced, but the winding roll loses its shape and may become entangled or crushed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary support structure consisting of a carriage with multiple rollers that temporarily supports the winding roll during transport. These rollers act as mediators between the winding station and binding station, preventing direct contact with the ground or transport surface that could cause deformation. The rollers are positioned to contact the winding roll at multiple points, distributing support forces and maintaining structural integrity throughout the transport process.
2Productivity
If the winding roll is handled roughly to facilitate transport, then the productivity is improved, but the elongate product is damaged or crushed
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into multiple independent rollers distributed around the circumference of the winding roll. Each roller contacts a different section of the roll, allowing the system to support the entire structure without requiring rough handling. The segmentation enables distributed load bearing, preventing localized stress concentrations that could cause crushing while maintaining efficient transport through multiple contact points.
Solution Approach 2:
The rollers are positioned beforehand to contact the winding roll at optimal points before transport begins. This pre-positioning creates a cushioning support system that prevents damage during the transport process. The rollers act as protective intermediaries that absorb and distribute mechanical stresses, preventing direct crushing or tangling of the delicate elongate product while maintaining transport efficiency.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the winding roll is held firmly during transport, then the shape stability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional support mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The carriage structure serves multiple functions: it provides support during transport, maintains the winding roll shape, and facilitates the transition between winding station and binding station. The rollers themselves serve dual purposes by both supporting the roll and enabling its movement. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving stable shape maintenance.

AI summary
The winding and setting device has a carriage that is movable between a winding station and a setting station for transfer of wound web roll (1). Several rollers are arranged on circumference of the wound web roll. The wound web roll is moved with the rollers by the carriage along a slideway plane for displacing into the setting station, and the rollers are not moved during setting of the wound web roll.
