Yarn position sensor 4 comprises a reflective photoelectric sensor, and this reflective photoelectric sensor comprises a luminary, an optical receiver, a signal amplifier and a comparator.
Yarn position sensor 4 is arranged to from comprising summit guides 1 and laterally steering device 10 reciprocating route B ' to the outside on the yarn movement plane of C ' the yarn emission light beam (promptly on the direction of the plane of movement that generally is parallel to yarn) to a general plane in parallel.

I/O interface 15 is connected to one by on its input yarn dimensions, yarn gait of march or other keyboard 19, then is connected to if necessary to be used on the CRT monitor 16 and chopping machine 17 of print data.
Much less, the calculating of carrying out separately in aforementioned calculation circuit 12, speed calculation circuit 13 and tension force computing circuit 14 can be carried out in single computer device.
Computer software can be used for carrying out above calculating, rather than hardware circuit.
Yarn position sensor 4 is arranged in a position of satisfying 2H/3<h<5H/6 relation, and wherein " h (m) " is the distance between traverse gear 2 and yarn position sensor 4, and " H (m) " is the distance between summit guides 1 and the traverse gear 2.
To explain the tension force detection calculations of Yarn tension detection apparatus below.
When yarn 100 was walked between summit guides 1 and traverse gear 2, thread-carrier position transduser 3 detected traverse guide 10 when laterally steering device 10 arrives transverse ends C ', and sends a signal.
And, detect yarn 100 by the yarn position sensor 4 between a C and some A, as shown in Figure 3.In Fig. 3, yarn position sensor 4 comprises a light receiving element 4b who has the luminous element 4a of lens and have lens, and the such surveyed area that defines shown in pressing.
The profile of Fig. 4 to 6 expression yarn 100 is to show the horizontal wave propagation in yarn 100.Fig. 4 represents when laterally steering device 10 shear wave propagation in yarn 100 when direction F moves.Fig. 5 represents when laterally steering device 10 propagation in yarn 100 when direction F moves.Fig. 6 be illustrated in a kind of some be different from the pattern of Fig. 4, when laterally steering device 10 shear wave propagation in yarn 100 when direction F moves.Yarn position sensor 4 is suitable for detecting the yarn 100 in Fig. 5 state.
In winding yarn 100, laterally steering device 10 generally moves with the speed of approximately constant, and laterally steering device 10 locates to put upside down its sense of motion at lateral ends B ' or C ', is attended by unexpected deceleration and acceleration.Because a kind of so unexpected variation produces a kind of shear wave, and upwards propagate to summit guide 1 as yarn 100 medium and small curvature bending part D; The shape of yarn 100 be when laterally steering device 10 with constant speed from a B ' to the corresponding first of shape of putting C ' when motion and yarn 100 and one when laterally steering device 10 with constant speed from a C ' when putting B ' and move and the corresponding second portion sum of shape of yarn 100, sweep D is formed between it.
Therefore, might arrange the yarn position sensor 4 that has luminous element 4a and light receiving element 4b in such a way, thereby when yarn position sensor 4 is positioned on the thread path that summit guides 1 is connected to sweep D, reflecting bundle is aimed at light receiving element 4b basically so that receive the amount maximum of bundle, as shown in Figure 7, and when yarn position sensor 4 is positioned on the thread path of the A ' point that sweep D is connected to laterally steering device 10 with angle φ, reflecting bundle do not aim at light receiving element 4b so that receive the bundle amount less, as shown in Figure 8.
Even between sweep D and the yarn position sensor 4 apart from the luminous and optical receiving region E of δ at luminous element 4a and light receiving element 4b in change, by detecting the variation of the signal that sends from yarn position sensor 4, might guarantee to detect the passage of sweep D, because signal is affirmed than little before the passage of sweep D after the passage of sweep D.
Angle φ be preferably in from 10 the degree to 30 the degree scopes in, and apart from δ in the scope of 10mm to 30mm.
Fig. 9 represents from the output wave shape of thread-carrier position transduser 3 with from the output wave shape of yarn position sensor 4, the relation shown in waveform has.
The time difference detecting circuit 11 in, calculate from detect by thread-carrier position transduser 3 shear wave the time be carved into the time cycle t1 that detects the moment of shear wave by yarn position sensor 4, and by its interval travel time output as shear wave.
In computing circuit 12, according to the interval travel time t1 of shear wave and the distance L (m) between traverse gear 2 and thread-carrier position transduser 3, use following relation to calculate the apparent propagation speed Vo (m/sec) of shear wave.
Vo=L/t1
Then apparent propagation speed Vo (m/sec) is outputed to computer device 6, and in speed calculation circuit 13, according to the apparent propagation speed Vo (m/sec) of shear wave and the true propagation speed V (m/sec) of the following relation calculating of yarn gait of march Va (m/sec) use shear wave.In this respect, the yarn gait of march can be yarn speed of wrap or upstream side yarn delivery speed.
If use the yarn speed of wrap, then might be by improving speed of wrap, considering that lateral angles θ presses following raising precision: Va=speed of wrap * 1/cos θ.
Va can perhaps directly import the speed of wrap that is detected by the speed sensor that is installed on the wrapping head through keyboard 19 inputs.
If thread-carrier position transduser 4 is arranged in the upstream of traverse gear 2 on the meaning of yarn direct of travel, then the true propagation speed V (m/sec) of shear wave is represented by V=L/t1+Va, if and thread-carrier position transduser 4 is arranged in the downstream of traverse gear 2 on the meaning of yarn direct of travel, then represent by V=L/t1-Va.
When the true propagation speed V of shear wave that is calculated by speed calculation circuit 13 is input to tension force computing circuit 14, use following formula to calculate yarn tension T (Kgf) according to the true propagation speed V of shear wave and yarn weight (linear density) ρ (Kg/m) of per unit length:
T=ρV 2/9.807
In this example, arrange above-mentioned Yarn tension detection apparatus like this, thereby the distance H between summit guides 1 and traverse gear 2 is 0.46m, transducer arrangements angle φ with respect to thread path is 20 degree, and between sweep D and yarn position sensor 4, be 20mm apart from δ, and detect yarn tension with respect to the polyester multifilament (75d/36f) with 0.008g/m yarn weight (thread density), this polyester multifilament twines with the speed of wrap of cross motion with 4800m/min.In the actual tension measurement range, the propagation speed of shear wave is in the scope of 30m/s to 100m/s.
When measuring propagation speed, distance between traverse gear 2 and the yarn position sensor 3 is under the situation of 0.31m therein, Measuring Time " t " is in 0.01 second to 0.0031 second scope, this means that 0.00003 second resolution is essential in order to obtain being used for the Measurement Resolution of 1m/sec propagation speed.On the contrary, if the distance h between traverse gear 2 and yarn position sensor 3 is 0.1m, then Measuring Time " t " is in 0.003 second to 0.001 second scope, this means that 0.00001 second resolution is essential for the Measurement Resolution of the propagation speed that obtains being used for 1m/sec.
In other words, under the situation that resolution is identical, if distance becomes three times, then the Measurement Resolution of speed trebles therein.
As shown in Figure 10, yarn tension when laterally steering device 10 is put upside down its sense of motion during cross motion raises, if wherein distance h is 0.1m, then measuring tension force is 15.5g, if and distance h is 0.31m, then measuring tension force is 14.2g, this means that distance h is big more, and the ratio of instantaneous tension force rising and other tension values in measuring period is more little.Therefore, might obtain rational mean tension.
Has a kind of propagation path that wherein sweep outwards expands during the yarn cross motion, as shown in Figure 11.When distance h was 0.1m and 0.31m, swell increment was about 10mm.In contrast, when distance h was 0.2m, the maximum of expansion reached about 20mm.Because but the detection range of yarn position sensor 4 is in the scope of 5mm to 15mm, as shown in Figure 12, but yarn may be run out of detection range, the inefficacy that causes yarn to detect, perhaps cause contacting with yarn position sensor 4, cause the adverse effect to yarn qualities, at this moment distance h is 0.2m.
If distance h is 0.4m, then yarn displacement is about 15mm, as shown in Figure 13, but and yarn can always remain in the detection range of yarn position sensor 4, this means that sweep is not detectable.On the other hand, if distance h is 0.38m, then yarn displacement becomes 20mm, but surpasses the detection range of yarn position sensor 4, causes the reliable Detection of sweep.
When distance h is 0.4m, is so short in sensor fwd yarn movement scope, thereby after detecting sweep D, may causes that wrong yarn detects immediately by the backward wave of sensor from summit guides 1.
In view of these problems, in the distance h between traverse gear 2 and the yarn position sensor 4 should the scope at 0.31m to 0.38m.
Secondly, suppose that the distance H (m) between summit guides 1 and traverse gear 2 is 0.3m.If the distance h between traverse gear 2 and yarn position sensor 4 is 0.2m, then, compares and double so the resolution of measuring speed and distance h wherein are the situations of 0.1m because the time that will measure doubles.And, have been found that when distance h is 0.2m, obtain the more reasonable mean tension value of 15.3g.In this respect, under latter event, the mean tension value is 16.2g.
The deflection of thread path is 8mm when distance h is 0.2m, is 15mm when distance h is 0.15m, and is 10mm when space h is 0.24m, is 16mm when h is 0.26m.When space h is 0.25m or more for a long time, have that a kind of wherein yarn does not enter measured zone and the situation that causes faulty operation.
Suppose that the space H between summit guides 1 and traverse gear 2 is 0.6.If the space h between traverse gear 2 and the yarn position sensor 4 is 0.4m, the resolution of measuring speed and space wherein are that the situation of 0.1m is compared and become about four times, because the time that will measure is four times.And, have been found that when distance h is 0.4m, obtain the more reasonable mean tension value of 14.2g.In this respect, under latter event, the mean tension value is 15.5g.
The deflection of thread path is 12mm when distance h is 0.4m, is 22mm when distance h is 0.3m, is 39mm when distance h is 0.46m, and is 16mm when distance h is 0.55m.When distance h is 0.5m or more for a long time, have that a kind of wherein yarn does not enter measured zone and the situation that causes faulty operation.
In view of these problems, yarn position sensor 4 best as close as possible summit guidess 1 are arranged, thereby rationally mean tension is detectable, and the outside distortion of thread path guarantees to enter the surveyed area of yarn position sensor 4.
As mentioned above, following formula must be satisfied in the position (position of yarn position sensor) that detects the shear wave place of the yarn of advancing,
2H/3<h<5H/6
Wherein h is the distance between traverse gear 2 and the position that detects the yarn signal place (position of Yarn senser), and H is the distance between summit guides 1 and traverse gear 2.

The 3rd sensor unit 45 also has the structure identical with first sensor unit 43, and makes luminous and light receiving element 46c and 47c are arranged in the housing 42 with angle [alpha] 1.The axis of luminous element 46c is in the axes intersect of an I3 place and light receiving element 47c.In addition, luminous element 46c and light receiving element 47c arrange with the angle [alpha] between it 2, the optical axis of the luminous element 46c of the 3rd sensor unit 45 is at the optical axis intersection of the luminous element 46b of the P place, a position and second sensor unit 44 thus, and the optical axis of the light receiving element 47c of the 3rd sensor unit 45 is at the optical axis intersection of the light receiving element 47b of the position Q place and second sensor unit 44, in the distance between position P or Q and the housing 42 greater than the distance between position I1 or I3 and housing 42.
Figure 17 shows the relation between luminous element 46a, 46b and 46c and light receiving element 47a, 47b and the 47c, wherein solid line indication optical axis.
Luminous element 46a, 46b and 46c and light receiving element 47a, 47b and 47c arrange like this, thereby the distance A between two adjacent light receiving elements is 8mm, between two adjacent light receiving elements is 8mm apart from B, and the distance between each luminous element 46a, 46b or 46c and each light receiving element 47a, 47b or 47c is 7mm.And, angle between the axis of the axis of the luminous element 46a of first sensor unit 43 and light receiving element 47a is 30 degree, and between the axis of the luminous element 46a of first and second sensor units 43 and 44 and 46b and the angle between the axis of light receiving element 47a and 47b be 5 to spend.
In this arrangement, the distance between the position I3 at the position I1 at the optical axis place of intersecting each other of luminous element in first sensor unit 43 and light receiving element and luminous element in the 3rd sensor unit 45 and the light receiving element place of intersecting each other is 14mm.
Figure 18 shows the light quantity of being sent by luminous element and measure at position I1, I2 and I3 place.Curve level axle among Figure 18 is corresponding to the X-axis of the coordinate that is included in position I1, I2 among Figure 14 and I3.The light quantity of first sensor unit 43 is by character 101 indications, and the light quantity of second sensor unit 44 is by character 102 indications, and the light quantity of the 3rd sensor unit 45 is by character 103 indications.The light summation of three sensor units is by character 104 indications.

In contrast, Figure 24 show in prior art Yarn senser (only using a pair of luminous element and light receiving element), corresponding with position I1 or I3, comprise of the distribution of the intersection location of luminous element optical axis and light receiving element optical axis along the light quantity of X-axis.
By Figure 18,21 and 23 obvious, sensor unit is many more, but detection range is wide more on perpendicular to the sense of motion of transverse guidance device.
As shown in Figure 25, Yarn senser 41 is arranged between the laterally steering device 10 of summit guides 1 and yarn wrapping head, thereby light beam is transmitted on the yarn in the direction that generally is parallel to this plane by its outside from the thread path plane that comprises motion laterally steering device 10 and summit guides 1.The polyester multifilament (75d/36f) of advancing and traversing as the speed VW that uses with 3300m/min to 4800m/min, thereby winding angle is 4 degree to 9 degree when (speed of traversing Vt=VW * tan θ), might detect yarn reliably by the Yarn senser that has two sensor units with by the Yarn senser that has three sensor units.
And, the polyester multifilament (250d/36f) of advancing and traversing as the speed VW that uses with 3300m/min to 4800m/min, thus winding angle is 4 degree when 9 spend, might be as in the above situation, detecting yarn reliably.
In Yarn senser 41, if between the axis of adjacent two luminous elements or the angle between the axis of adjacent two light receiving elements (vertical angles of angle α 2) less than 1 the degree, then optical axes crosspoint is from luminous far away excessively with optical axis intersection zone light receiving element, thereby have not detectable region is arranged in measured zone, as shown in Figure 26.Therefore, in order to eliminate not detectable region, wish luminous less with angle of cut light receiving element, to move detectable region to position P, if but the traverse measurement zone then is difficult to detect thinner yarn, because the light value that is transmitted into yarn square reducing by distance.
As shown in Figure 27, if the angle between the axis of two adjacent light emissions or receiving element is greater than 25 degree, then the position P that intersects each other at the optical axis of emission of two adjacent light or receiving element transmits and receives element than position I1, I2 and the close light of I3 at corresponding luminous element and the corresponding light receiving element place of intersecting each other, thereby detectable region is at position P place non-expansion.And the detection distance between first sensor unit 43, second sensor unit 44 and the 3rd sensor unit 45 expands widely with respect to position I1 to I3 on (+) Z-direction of principal axis, so detectable region does not occur.
In view of above problem, the angle between the axis of two adjacent luminous elements or two adjacent light receiving elements is preferably in the scope from 1 degree to 25 degree.In order to improve the yarn accuracy of detection, this angle better, is preferably in from 4 degree to the scope of 6 degree in from 3 degree to the scope of 10 degree.
The intersect each other position of indication in this article of optical axis is light-emitting zone and the surveyed area position at place that overlaps each other basically, and is not limited to accurately the intersect each other point at place of optical axis.
Certainly, Yarn senser of the present invention can be used as the yarn disconnection detector.
According to Yarn senser of the present invention, many luminous element and light receiving element are so arranged, thereby in the optical axis of a luminous element and adjacent its position at optical axis intersection place of another luminous element, a position at the optical axis intersection place of the light receiving element that is adjacent with optical axis and another at a light receiving element, position shrinking away from theshell body than the place that intersects each other at the optical axis of luminous element and light receiving element is farther, and therefore, might widen the yarn surveyed area, and detecting yarn reliably, also is like this even yarn is advanced perpendicular to the sense of motion of laterally steering device.
