摘要:
A coil is formed by winding a conductive wire around a winding frame that is being rotated about a rotational axis of the winding frame. Guide members contact the conductive wire being wound around the winding frame to define the winding position of the conductive wire. The guide members are supported by a link mechanism that is provided coaxially with the rotational axis so as to rotate synchronously with the winding frame. As a third actuator moves a driving link in the direction of the rotational axis, the guide members are moved in directions of a diameter of the winding frame. As a first actuator moves a holding link in the direction of the rotational axis, the guide members are moved in the direction of the rotational axis together with the holding link. As a second actuator extends or contracts an arm, one of the guide members is moved independently of another one of the guide members. The first, second and third actuators do not need to rotate together with the winding frame. Because the actuators do not need to be mounted on a rotating mechanism, the apparatus construction becomes more simple and the load on a winding frame-rotating motor can be reduced.

A laying head for a rapidly movable wire rod and including a carrying sleeve located in the support housing of the laying head for receiving a wire entrance section of a laying pipe and supported by two, spaced from each other bearings, a pipe holder projecting past an end surface of the carrying sleeve remote from a carrying sleeve section that receives the wire entrance section of the laying pipe for supporting a wire laying section of the laying pipe; and a pressing device located in the support housing for applying a radial pressure to a section of the carrying sleeve located between the two bearings.

A method and an apparatus for minimizing the coil height of wire coils formed in a coil forming chamber, wherein individual wire windings are conveyed on a horizontal conveyor, the wire windings are allowed to drop at the end of the conveyor in an approximately vertically dropping movement, and the wire windings drop into the coil forming chamber so as to form the coil. The method includes the steps of placing the wire windings Nw from their drop line eccentrically relative to the axis of symmetry of the coil forming chamber, and adjusting an angle offset &Dgr;&phgr; between two successive windings in accordance with the number of wire windings which are placed per 360° in the coil forming chamber, wherein the adjustment is constant or variable, and wherein &Dgr;&phgr;=360°/Nw.
摘要:
A densely packed storage drum containing wire, and a method and apparatus for producing the same. The storage drum having an interior storage cavity into which wire is fed. The drum is supported on a turn table adapted to rotate and index the storage drum relative to a rotatable laying head which guides the wire into the drum. A capstan turning at a set rotational velocity pulls the wire and delivers the wire into the rotating laying head. As the laying head feeds the wire into the storage drum the difference in the rotational velocities of the capstan and laying head causes the formation of loops of wire in the storage drum. By varying the relative velocities of the capstan and the laying head, and rotating and indexing the storage drum relative to the laying head the wire can be deposited into the drum in layers, with each layer having a plurality of loops of a specified diameter circumferentially and eccentrically positioned about the interior cavity of the drum. Adjacent layers having different loop diameters and circumferential positions, producing a densely packed storage drum filled with wire having a uniform radial density.
