Rotary braiding machine

Abstract

A rotary braiding machine, in particular for producing wire mesh, includes a plurality of braiding spools, a braiding rotor, a braiding head, a draw-off disk, a machine frame. The braiding rotor rotates about an axis which coincides or nearly coincides with the draw-off direction of the braiding material. The draw-off direction of the braiding material runs obliquely in space, i.e. neither horizontally nor vertically. In this manner, advantages of the conventional horizontal and vertical design of such a rotary braiding machine are combined such that only one product variant must be produced and distributed.

1 . A rotary braiding machine, in particular for producing wire mesh, comprising:
 a plurality of braiding spools, in particular for wires, and spool carriers;   a braiding rotor on which the braiding spools are arranged in the spool carriers;   a braiding head defining a braiding point;   a draw-off disc;   a machine frame;   the braiding rotor rotating around an axis which is identical or approximately identical to the draw-off direction of the braided material; and   the draw-off direction of the braided material is oriented obliquely in space, i. e. neither horizontally nor vertically.   
     
     
         2 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the draw-off direction of the braided material is inclined by between 20 and 70 degrees to the vertical.   
     
     
         3 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the draw-off direction of the braided material is inclined by about 30 degrees to the vertical.   
     
     
         4 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the draw-off direction of the braided material is inclined by about 45 degrees to the vertical.   
     
     
         5 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the draw-off disc is not fixed to the machine frame.   
     
     
         6 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 5 ,
 characterized in that   the draw-off disc is fixed to a separate stand.   
     
     
         7 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 5 ,
 characterized in that   the rotary braiding machine has a noise reduction hood which substantially encloses the braiding rotor.   
     
     
         8 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 , further including at least one of a supply roller and a take-off spool for a strand material. 
     
     
         9 . The rotary braiding machine according to  claim 1 , further including a noise reduction hood.
