Technical Field

The invention relates to a wire twisting machine for producing a strand comprising a plurality of preferably metallic wires. In a stranding machine, a plurality of such wires are twisted with one another by twisting, that is to say are processed to form a strand. The wire is preferably made of a copper alloy, particularly preferably a copper-magnesium alloy or a copper-tin alloy, for example with a proportion of magnesium or tin of 0.2 or 0.3%, or also preferably a copper-silver alloy.

Background

Stranding machines of the type under investigation have a stranding apparatus for stranding wires.

The wire twisting device preferably has a rotating rotor with an elongated rotor yoke which is bent radially outward and is rotatably mounted on its two ends. A plurality of wires are fed to the rotor and guided by the rotor band, whereby twisting of the wires is effected at one or more twisting points.

The stranding machine preferably has a rotatably mounted pull-out reel for pulling out the strands from the stranding device. The pull-out reel is preferably driven in order to generate the tensile stress required for pulling out the strand.

After the strand has been pulled out of the strand-stranding device, the strand is preferably wound onto a spool by means of a suitable winding device or is directly subjected to 0 further processing. If the wire is wound onto a bobbin, the bobbin generally has a cylindrical bobbin core for winding the wire, and a disc-shaped flange at each end of the bobbin core to prevent the coil from slipping off the bobbin core. During winding of the strands, the spool is typically rotated about the longitudinal axis of the spool core (hereinafter referred to simply as the "spool axis").

In particular, in the case of a twisting machine of the above-described type with a rotor yoke, which is a double-ended twisting machine (Doppelschlag-veritzmachine), the take-off spool and, if appropriate, also the winding device and the spool for winding the twisted wire are preferably arranged in the rotational space of the rotor yoke, i.e. in the space which is enclosed by the rotor yoke during rotation. Therefore, only a limited installation space is available for the pull-out reel, the winding device and/or the spool. The spool axis can be arranged here substantially at right angles to the rotor axis, substantially parallel to the rotor axis or at other angular positions relative to the rotor axis. The strands preferably exit the rotor along the rotor axis.

The resulting strands present the following problems: the strands may have kinks. Furthermore, the strands tend to bend, "curl" and "cross-over" in the unloaded state", that is to say a nodule (Schlingnebildung).

This is problematic when further processing the cable, in particular when winding the cable onto a spool, when bundling the cable, and when crimping, i.e. clamping the plug connector on the cable.

In addition, extrusion, i.e. the wrapping of the strands with plastic insulation in the extrusion process, is therefore also difficult. In particular, said phenomena during extrusion hinder the so-called bag discharge

Instead of a rotating tangential discharge, which works discontinuously and allows only a significantly lower feed rate of the strand.

Finally, the tendency of the strands to twist and "curl" reduces the number of possible bending cycles, i.e., the number of bending cycles that can be performed without material fatigue or material failure.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is therefore: a stranding machine and method for making strands is provided such that the resulting strands have at most a small tendency to twist and "curl".

The object is achieved by a wire twisting machine and a method for manufacturing a twisted wire according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the dependent claims.

The present invention is based on the following observation (beobachung): the twisting and "curling" tendency of the strand can be reduced by the movement in the direction of the twist of the strand resulting from the twisting, hereinafter referred to as "strand twist", preferably in combination with the stretching of the strand, that is to say the stretching which leads to plastic deformation of the strand.

In the stranding machine according to the invention and in the method according to the invention for producing a stranded wire, at least one measure is therefore implemented which takes account of the observations.

The twisting machine according to the invention has at least one rotatably mounted deflecting roller for deflecting the twisted wire and at least one guide device for guiding the twisted wire, which guide device is designed such that the twisted wire can be guided in a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the twisted wire is pressed against a first side of the deflecting roller.

The deflecting roller has a general construction, wherein the active surface for the strands on the end face of the deflecting roller has a wedge-shaped recess in cross section. The wedge-shaped deep portion has a first side and a second side directed radially inward at an angle to the center plane of the deflection roller. The region close to the inner edge of the two side faces, on which the radius of the active surface is smallest, is referred to as the roller foot.

When deflected by the deflection roller, the strands move on their way from the entry point to the exit point from the first side of the deflection roller into the bottom of the pulley. Obviously, the strands here "slide" downward on the first side into the drum base. In this case, the strand is moved along with or against the strand twist. The movement of the strands following the twisting can be achieved in that the first side is selected from the two sides of the active surface of the deflecting roller, respectively, so that the tendency of the strands to "curl" is reduced.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pulling device is additionally arranged downstream of the deflecting roller in the direction of movement of the cable, which pulling device is suitable for exerting a pulling force on the cable emerging from the deflecting roller. This results in a stretching of the strand, i.e. an elongation which leads to a plastic deformation of the strand, so that the tendency of the strand to "curl" is likewise reduced.

The drawing device is preferably a winding apparatus. Many stranding machines have been provided with such winding devices to wind the finished strands. The desired tension can be applied to the strands removed from the deflecting rollers by the winding device, in particular by a driven coil shaft in the winding device.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the strand contact point on the guide device is offset with respect to the center plane of the deflecting roller, and the strand can be guided from the strand contact point to the deflecting roller in a straight line such that the strand is pressed against the first side of the deflecting roller. The cable thus runs eccentrically on the deflecting roller and is pressed in this way on itself against the first side of the deflecting roller without additional pressing devices.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the guide device is configured such that the wire can be guided in a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the wire is pressed against a second side of the deflecting roller, which is different from the first side. The wire can thus be pressed selectively against the first or second side of the deflecting roller. This selection can be made in accordance with the direction of the combing of the strands (schlagrickhtung), i.e. in accordance with the direction in which the individual wires twist with one another during twisting and the twist of the twist is also dependent on this direction. A distinction is made between so-called S-carding, in which the wires are wound around one another in a counterclockwise direction, and so-called Z-carding, in which the wires are wound around one another in a clockwise direction, wherein this characteristic is constant with respect to the direction in which the strand is observed.

The guide device is preferably movable relative to the deflecting roller, in particular substantially perpendicular to the center plane of the deflecting roller. In this way, the strand contact point on the guide device can be precisely set relative to the deflecting roller. It is further preferred that the side of the deflecting roller against which the strands are to be pressed is also selected.

In addition or alternatively, the selection of the side of the deflecting roller against which the wire is to be pressed can also be made in such a way that the wire is guided around on different sides of the guide device.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the guide device is a rotatably mounted guide roller. The friction of the strand against the guide device can thereby be reduced.

The invention also relates to a method for producing a strand comprising a plurality of preferably metallic wires, which is carried out on a stranding machine according to the invention. In the method, wires are stranded in a stranding apparatus; guiding the strand from the stranding apparatus to a guide device; guiding the strand in a straight line from the guide device to the deflecting roller in such a way that the strand is pressed against the first side of the deflecting roller; steering the stranded wire through a steering roller; and guide the strands away from the deflection roller.

In this case, the strand is preferably moved from the first side into the roller base of the deflecting roller during the deflection by the deflecting roller.

By this guiding of the strands, the tendency of the strands to twist and "curl" is reduced due to the mechanism described above.

Drawings

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown in the figures in conjunction with the following description. In the drawings:

fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a part of a stranding machine according to the invention, in which the course with the strands is shown.

Detailed Description

In fig. 1, the course of the strand 1 is shown by a stranding machine according to the invention, which in the exemplary embodiment is preferably a double-ended stranding machine. The stranding machine has a stranding apparatus in which a rotor with a rotor yoke (not shown) rotates. Inside the rotation space of the rotor yoke, the housing 2 is suspended at its left and right ends by means of two rotor shaft bearing housings on two separate rotor shaft segments (neither shown).

The strand 1 extends through an opening 3 in the housing 2 to a driven pull-out plate 4, which pulls out the strand 1 from the stranding device by applying a tensile stress. The pull-out plate 4 and the lifting roller 5 arranged above and parallel to the pull-out plate 4 each have a plurality of running grooves through which the strands 1 are alternately guided, so that the strands 1 alternately pass through the pull-out plate 4 and the lifting roller 5 a total of a plurality of times. The pull-out plate 4 and the lifting roller 5 serve here as a first twist lock.

The cable 1 then passes through the two deflecting rollers 6 and 7 and is deflected in this case by a total of 270 °. The deflecting roller 7 is adjusted slightly in such a way that the strand running off the deflecting roller 7 does not collide with the strand running onto the deflecting roller 6.

The strand 1 then runs along one side of the rotatable guide roller 8 (in the present embodiment along the left side of the rotatable guide roller), the axis of which extends substantially vertically. The guide roller 8 has the effect of deflecting the wire strand 1 slightly from its trajectory and not running into the center of the following deflection roller 9, but rather pressing against the side 9a of the deflection roller 9 (in this embodiment, to the left, as viewed in the running direction of the wire strand 1). The orientation of the guide roller 8 relative to the deflection roller 9 can be precisely adjusted by means of a cursor 12. By means of the cursor 12, the axis of the guide roller 8 can be moved back and forth substantially perpendicular to the center plane of the deflection roller 9.

The strand 1 is wound around the deflection roller 9 slightly less than 180 degrees. The strand 1 moves on its path from the entry point to the exit point on the left side 9a of the deflecting roller 9 from the side 9a into the roller bottom 9 b. The strand 1 moves with the twisting motion, whereby the "curling" tendency of the strand is reduced.

The stranding machine also has a laying device 16 with further deflecting rollers 10 and 11, which is movable on a main shaft (not shown) along a laying axis. The spindle is mounted in two bearings 13, 14 (shown in section in fig. 1) and is driven by a drive wheel 15 (also shown in section). The main axis extends parallel to the coil axis of the winding shaft of the winding device (likewise not shown).

From the deflecting roller 9, the strand 1 runs parallel to the main axis of the laying device 16 and therefore always runs at the same angle onto the deflecting roller 10 of the laying device 16, irrespective of the operating position of the laying device 16. The strands 1 are deflected again by the deflecting rollers 10 and 11 in order to be finally guided to the winding device and wound there onto the winding reel at an axial position of the latter predetermined by the operating position of the laying device 16 (neither the winding device nor the winding reel is shown).

The driven winding reel exerts a tensile force on the strand 1, as a result of which the strand 1, which preferably has a high compressive force, is pressed against the deflecting roller 9 and is therefore stretched slightly, typically by 2 to 3%, between the deflecting roller 9 and the winding reel. In this way, the helical structure of the strands obtained by stranding is further minimized or even completely eliminated. The deflecting roller 9 serves in this respect as a (second) torsion lock.
