Description
System and method for controlling and programming the production of a ball of thread DESCRIPTION
This invention relates to the field of producing balls of thread-like textile material, such as for example but without limiting the invention cotton, wool, silk, yarns of mixed natural and synthetic materials.
More specifically, the invention relates to a new control and programming system for producing a ball of thread by a using a ball winding machine.
This invention also relates to a method for controlling and programming a system for producing a ball of thread.
Lastly, the invention relates to a ball winding machine comprising one or more systems for controlling and programming the production of a ball of thread.
There are currently various prior art methods for producing balls of thread-like textile material.
The term ball used hereinafter in the description and in the claims means a continuous portion of thread-like textile material wound in a multiplicity of turns or windings relative to at least one axis of rotation shared by all the turns.
The various windings may be made in turn around at least one collecting device.
If the thread to be wound to produce the ball has different colours along the longitudinal direction it is not possible, with the prior art systems, to determine precisely which is the initial colour and which is the final colour.
More specifically, it is not possible to determine and control the ball winding machine in such a way that the initial colour and the final colour are the same.
In practice, with the prior art systems there is no possibility of controlling and programming in a systematic manner the initial and final colour of a

This invention also relates to a method for controlling and programming a system for producing a ball of thread.
Lastly, the invention relates to a ball winding machine comprising one or more systems for controlling and programming the production of a ball of thread.
There are currently various prior art methods for producing balls of thread-like textile material.
The term ball used hereinafter in the description and in the claims means a continuous portion of thread-like textile material wound in a multiplicity of turns or windings relative to at least one axis of rotation shared by all the turns.
The various windings may be made in turn around at least one collecting device.
If the thread to be wound to produce the ball has different colours along the longitudinal direction it is not possible, with the prior art systems, to determine precisely which is the initial colour and which is the final colour.
More specifically, it is not possible to determine and control the ball winding machine in such a way that the initial colour and the final colour are the same.
In practice, with the prior art systems there is no possibility of controlling and programming in a systematic manner the initial and final colour of a
2 predetermined ball of thread being made.
All the systems and methods currently known therefore have major drawbacks.
More specifically, an important, but not unique, drawback is due to the fact that it is not possible to determine before completing the ball which is the final colour of the ball.
In detail, this lack of determination is rather disadvantageous for the final user of the ball since it creates uncertainty in the processing.
For example, using coloured balls made with prior art systems it is not possible to produce two textile items (for example socks) which are identical; in fact, since each ball is different, the end product will also be different.
If, on the other hand, the end user wishes to obtain two perfectly identical products from the point of view of the colours, a waste of material is inevitably generated.
An aim of this invention is, therefore, to provide a system for controlling and programming production of a ball of thread having a plurality of stretches with different colours "a", "b", "c" along the longitudinal direction which allows the drawbacks of the known methods and balls to be overcome.
More specifically, an aim of this invention is to provide a system for controlling and programming production of a ball of thread having a plurality of stretches with different colours "a", "b", "c" along the longitudinal direction so as to allow the production of a ball with a with a predetermined initial colour and a predetermined final colour, for example the same colour.
Another important aim is to provide a method for controlling and programming the production of a ball of thread having stretches of different colours along the relative longitudinal direction so as to obtain a ball with a predetermined initial colour and a predetermined final colour, for example the same colour.

More specifically, this invention relates to the production of a ball of thread
5 10 which has on its longitudinal extension a series of stretches (at least two) coloured in a different way "a", "b", "c" along a longitudinal direction.
Advantageously, but not necessarily, the series of coloured stretches "a", "b", "c" is repeated in a systematic and equal manner along the entire length of the thread 10.

In operation, a system 1 according to this invention comprises the following operating steps:
- programming the system 1 in such a way as to learn, by means of the acquisition device 2, the type of stretch of colour "a" selected as initial colour of the ball, and the interval of operation after which to activate the cutting device 4, - preparing the thread 10 in a winding head of a ball winding machine 20 located downstream of the system 1 in such a way that the colour "a" is the first to be wound on the ball, - activating the winding head, By way of an example, the interval of operation may be calculated by checking the actual length of the thread 10 already wound on the ball, the number of windings of the ball in production, a unit of time, or in any case
7 by measuring any operating parameter which allows the actual approach of the stretch of selected colour "a" to be detected, Advantageously, once the thread 10 has been cut in the position derived from the calculations described above the movement device 3 is kept actuated.
In this way, the end of the thread 10 distal from the winding head is kept stationary and extracted from the movement device 3, thus facilitating the approach towards the winding head, for example by a user or an automatic system, to start the production of a new ball.
For clarity and completeness of description, and with reference in particular to Figure 4, an example is given of the operating cycle of a system 1 according to this invention.
The following data must be known: total length of the thread 10 to be wound, length of the stretch of colour selected as initial and final colour of the ball in production "a".
It should be noted that it is not necessary to know any data relative to the length and to the type of colours between those not selected ("b" and "c" in Figure 4) as initial and final colours of the ball.
An operation interval t1 is set, corresponding, for example, to 1000 turns or 200 metres or 30 seconds.
At the initial time tO the user (or the automatic system) fixes the end of the colour "a" to the winding head.
The winding head is actuated and produces the respective ball for the time t1.

8 when reaching the selected point "X".
The ball winding machine proceeds, ending the winding of the length of thread 10 just cut by the cutting device.
At this point, the user may again fix the end of colour "a" to the winding head for producing a new ball, which is also characterised in that it starts with a stretch of colour "a" and ends with the same colour "a".
Advantageously, by suitable control of the movement device 3, it is possible to move the end of the thread 10 towards the winding head in such a way as to facilitate the work of the user.
A further aspect according to the invention, shown in Figure 3, is a ball winding machine 20 comprising a plurality of control and programming systems 1 as described previously and associated with respective winding heads, not shown because they are of known type and not significant for the purpose of this invention.
Preferably, the above-mentioned machine will be characterised by an operation as described above.
Finally, it is clear that this invention may be modified, added to or adapted in ways obvious to technicians in the field, without thereby departing from the protective scope of the appended claims.
