Bead ring winding device
View Patent ↗A bead ring winding device includes a traverse mechanism ( 12 ) formed of a rotary body ( 21 ), a traverse roller ( 35 ), and an air cylinder ( 44 ). The rotary body ( 21 ) is rotatable about a rotary shaft and has an outer circumferential surface provided with an annular winding unit ( 23 ) for wire winding. The traverse roller ( 35 ) makes a fit to a wire (W) wound by the winding unit ( 23 ) to align turns of the wire (W) in juxtaposition in a direction in which the rotary shaft extends. The air cylinder ( 44 ) applies biasing force to the traverse roller ( 35 ) in a direction in which the wire (W) is pressed. The winding unit ( 23 ) has a bottom surface of a tapered shape. The traverse mechanism ( 12 ) includes a cam member ( 63 ) having a sloping cam surface ( 63 a ). The sloping cam surface ( 63 a ) guides the traverse roller ( 35 ) such that the traverse roller ( 35 ) traverses parallel to a tapered surface ( 24 a ) of the winding unit ( 23 ).
1. A bead ring winding device, comprising a rotary body rotatable about a rotary shaft and a traverse mechanism that makes a traverse roller and a biasing member traverse, the rotary body having an outer circumferential surface provided with an annular winding unit for wire winding, the traverse roller making a fit to a wire wound by the winding unit to align turns of the wire in juxtaposition in a direction in which the rotary shaft extends, the biasing member applying biasing force to the traverse roller acting in a direction in which the wire is pressed,
wherein the winding unit has a tapered bottom surface,
the tapered bottom surface is tapered at an angle relative to the rotary shaft of the rotary body, and
a shaft of the traverse roller is parallel to the tapered bottom surface of the winding unit,
wherein the traverse roller is supported on one end portion of a stay and a roller to move on a sloping surface parallel to the tapered bottom surface is provided to the other end portion of the stay.
2. The bead ring winding device according to claim 1 , wherein the traverse mechanism includes a guiding unit that guides the traverse roller such that the traverse roller traverses parallel to the tapered bottom surface of the winding unit.
3. The bead ring winding device according to claim 1 , comprising a supporting table and an actuator, the supporting table having the sloping surface as an upper surface, the actuator being provided to move up and down the supporting table.
4. The bead ring winding device according to claim 1 , wherein alignment grooves for alignment of turns of the wire are provided in a bottom of the winding unit.
5. The bead ring winding device according to claim 1 , wherein the stay includes an adjusting unit to adjust the position of the traverse roller in the direction in which the rotary shaft of the rotary body extends.
