Abstract

The invention relates to a winding device ( 1 ) for winding up and unwinding goods ( 2 ) in web form, in particular a conveyor belt, whereby the wound goods ( 3 ) are supported on a substructure ( 4 ). The substructure has at least two support rollers ( 5, 6 ), which are disposed at a distance (A 1 , A 2 , A 3 ) from one another, whereby the support rollers are adjustable, changing the distance, in order to adapt themselves to any winding diameter (D 1 , D 2 ), whereby the movement sequence of the support rollers takes place in such a manner that the wound goods are furthermore securely supported. It is practical if the winding device ( 1 ) is provided with lateral supports ( 7 ), which have a wheel that is adjustable in height, which is set to the center (M 1 , M 2 ) of the wound goods ( 3 ). Lateral migration is prevented in this manner, for the purpose of optimizing a secured position.

Claims (7)

1. A winding device for winding and unwinding a product in web form comprising a substructure for supporting a wound product comprising at least first and second supporting rollers that are placed at a distance from one another, the distance between the first and second supporting rollers being adjustable as the winding diameter of the product changes corresponding to the winding and unwinding of the product, the first and second supporting rollers configured to be vertically and horizontally displaceable in order to adapt to each winding diameter, wherein the supporting rollers have a course of motion such that the wound product is held securely.

2. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein exclusively two supporting rollers are present.

3. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein a first row of at least two supporting rollers as well as a second row of also at least two supporting rollers are present, the two rows of supporting rollers being disposed at a distance from one another.

4. The winding device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of lateral supports having a height-adjustable wheel placed in a middle portion of the wound product.

5. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one supporting roller is provided with at least one of a drive motor and a brake, in order to accelerate or delay winding, respectively.

6. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting rollers are vertically displaceable by way of a height regulation of the substructure.

7. The winding device according to claim 1 , further comprising a horizontal and vertical guide rail within a supporting roller region, wherein the supporting rollers are disposed in the supporting roller region and are horizontally and vertically displaceable along the guide rail.
