Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thread texturising apparatus comprising a texturising nozzle through which the thread moves along a substantially predetermined path.
  • the thread is subjected to a treating fluid, generally a gas or vapor, while passing through the nozzle.
  • a treating fluid generally a gas or vapor
  • the invention relates to a generally known type of thread texturising nozzle for a generally known process adapted to texturise a thread by action of a treatment fluid thereon.
  • the nozzle has a texturising chamber in which the main texturising action occurs. This chamber is elongated and defines one section of a thread path extending through the nozzle.
  • the chamber has a perforated wall through which treatment fluid can leave the chamber generally transversely of the path.
  • the nozzle also has means to bring together the fluid and the thread and lead them into the chamber.
  • the fluid Prior to the texturising chamber, the fluid preferably exerts a forwarding action on the thread, urging it into the chamber, but this forwarding action is at least substantially reduced and may cease after the fluid enters the chamber due to the exit of fluid through the perforations.
  • the chamber is designed to produce severe turbulence in the fluid therein and/ or vibrations, possibly even at a resonance frequency.
  • the fluid is preferably hot, in the form of a vapor or gas; air is preferred although steam may also be used.
  • the temperature of the fluid and the residence time of the fluid and thread in the nozzle prior to entering the texturising chamber, but after being brought together, are preferably such as to heat the thread to an approximately predetermined temperature dependent on the material of the thread and preferably close to the plasticising temperature of the thread.
  • the perforations in the chamber wall are preferably in the form of slits extending along and generally evenly distributed about the thread path.
  • Thread texturising nozzles of the above general type are shown in US Patents 3'714*686, 3'908'248, 3'950'831, 4'014'084 and 4'100'659 in the name of B.A.S.F., US Patents 3'983'610 and 4'095'317 to Akzona, German Published Specifications OLS 2'632'083 to Barmag and US Patents 3'802'038 and 3'849'844 to N eumünstersche Maschinen- und Apparatebau GmbH.
  • the invention provides a thread texturising nozzle in which thread can be texturised while moving along a generally straight path through the nozzle, the nozzle comprising
  • each part 10 and 12 constitutes a carrier member for insert elements which in use lie in the open-ended elongated space provided by the through bore 14.
  • the bore contains a thread path extending generally along the axis of the bore 14 and along which a thread to be textured is drawn in a downward direction as viewed in the Figures.
  • the manner in which the thread path is defined will now be described. For convenience of description, reference will be made to "upward” and “downward” direction as viewed in the drawings, but it will be understood that the actual dispositions of the nozzle may be different in practice.
  • Each-body part 10,12 contains three insert elements in its groove 17, the elements in the two parts being complementary in the same way as the parts themselves. Since the elements are the same in both body parts, only those in the body part 10 shown in Figure 1 will be described in detail.
  • the inserts comprise an infeed element 18, a guide element 20 and a texturising chamber element 22.
  • Each element is provided with a channel forming half of a central through bore, which defines the thread path in the complete nozzle assembly, together with sealing surfaces in the same plane as the surfaces 16.
  • a first insert assembly comprising the insert elements 18 and defining a thread infeed passage 24 (Fig. 3)
  • a second insert assembly comprising the insert elements 20 and defining a guide passage 26
  • a third insert assembly comprising the insert elements 22 and defining a texturising chamber 28.
  • the infeed passage 24, guide passage 26 and texturising chamber 28 together make up the thread path through the nozzle.
  • the guide elements 20 are such that the second insert assembly surrounding passage 26 comprises a central tube (the "guide tube") of smaller external diameter than the diameter of the insert - receiving bore 14, together with a pair of end flanges 29, engaging the wall of through bore 14 and locating the guide tube therein.
  • a chamber 30 surrounds the guide tube and body part 10 is provided with a port 32 communicating with the chamber 30 so that in use )treatment fluid can be fed into the nozzle via this port 32 and chamber 30.
  • the upper end flange of the guide tube assembly is provided with openings 34 providing access for treatment fluid to a chamber 36 which provides a communication chamber connecting the thread infeed passage 24 with the guide passage 26.
  • Each element 18 carries a sub-element 38 which is a press fit in and adjustable axially of a recess 40 provided in the element 18.
  • Sub-elements 38 together provide the lower end )section of the infeed passage 24, as viewed in Figure 3.
  • the axial spacing between the end of the infeed passage 24 and the beginning of the guide passage 26 can be adjusted by adjusting the axial position of the sub-elements 38.
  • This spacing determines the amount of treatment fluid which is permitted to pass from the chamber 36 into the guide passage 26 along with the thread coming from the infeed passage 24.
  • the infeed passage 24, chamber 36 and the fluid access channel, provided by port 32, chamber 30 and openings 34 co-operate to provide means for bringing together the thread and the treatment fluid.
  • the above described means for bringing together thread and fluid is generally in accordance with the prior art.
  • Each insert element 22 comprises a wall portion 40 and flange portions 41, 43.
  • Each flange portion fits neatly into the groove 17 in its body part 10 or 12, as best seen in Figure 2, and is secured therein by screws 42.
  • the wall portions 40 together make up a texturising chamber wall of external diameter smaller than the diameter of the through bore 14 and firmly supported at both ends by the end flanges provided at one end by the co-operating flange portions 41 and at the other end by the co-aperating flange portions 43.
  • the tubular wall made up by wall portions 40 has twelve longitudinally extending slots 44. As best seen in Figure 2, each insert 22 contains five full slots and two additional slots are formed at the interface when the elements 22 are brought together in the closed nozzle.
  • Each slot 44 extends from end to end of the respective element 22, i.e. through both end flanges, and passes radially completely through the wall between the connecting end flanges. These slots enable communication in use between the texturising chamber 28 and a further chamber 46 provided around the wall 40 by the bore 14.
  • the preferred number of slots lies in the range 10 to 14.
  • the length of bore 14 between the downstream end of guide passage 26 and the downstream end of the bore itself constitutes a cavity which is divided by the wall portions 40 into a texturising chamber 28 surrounded by an exhaust chamber 46.
  • Each body part has a port 48 communicating with this chamber 46 and in use outlet passages 50 are connected to respective ports 48 to lead away treatment fluid, and any vapor produced from pretreating preparations applied to the thread, passing into the chamber 46 from the chamber 28.
  • the removal of treatment fluid and vapor from chamber 46 is effected in a controlled fashion by a suitable suction device (not shown) connected to passages 50 and drawing the treatment fluid and vapor away to a suitable exhaust location.
  • these passages 50 may pass the treatment fluid through a heat exchanger diagrammatically shown at 51 so that the waste fluid transfers at least part of its heat to the incoming fluid being fed to the port 32.
  • Each body part is also provided with studs 52 enabling it to be mounted on an appropriate support structure (not shown) of a texturising apparatus, the receiving members on the support structure being relatively movable to enable opening and closing of the nozzle.
  • a suitable system for enabling this is described in copending European Patent Application No. 80105347.1.
  • Each body part is also partially enclosed by a casing 54 of a material of low heat conductivity so as to protect operators from the hot metal of the body parts 10 and 12 in use.
  • Figure 4 shows a first modification of the embodiment of Figure 1, namely the elimination of the insert elements 20.
  • the guide passage in this embodiment is provided by two grooves 60, only one of which is of course seen in the frontal view of Figure 4.
  • These grooves are of small cross section relative to the grooves 17 shown in Figure, 1 and they are provided directly in the material of the body part 10 A (or 12A) with sealing surfaces 16A being provided to either side.
  • the larger sealing surface enables inclusion of a recess 61 to receive a guide in the other body part.
  • At each end of the groove 60 there is an enlarged groove portion forming upstream and downstream cavities when the body parts are brought together with their faces 16A in sealing contact.
  • the downstream cavity contains an insert assembly made up of inserts essentially the same as the inserts 22 of Figure 1 and forming a texturising chamber 28 and an exhaust chamber 46 as already described.
  • the means for bringing together the fluid and the thread differs from that shown in Figures 1-3 and will now be described.
  • the upstream cavity also contains an assembly of insert elements 62 co-operating to define a thread infeed passage constituted by grooves 64.
  • Each groove 64 has three widened sections 66 which help to form a labyrinth seal hindering back flow of treatment fluid along the thread infeed passage. However, these sections 66 can be omitted if desired.
  • the external surface of each element 62 has a groove 68 so that in the nozzle assembly these grooves form an annular channel surrounding the thread infeed passage.
  • One of the body parts is provided with an infeed port (not shown) enabling supply of treatment fluid to the channel thus formed.
  • the downstream end of the thread infeed passage has a frusto-conical widening 70 facing a corresponding widening 72 on the upstream end of the guide passage formed by the grooves 60.
  • a selected number of fluid infeed bores 74 extend between the channel provided by grooves 68 and the widening 70 so as to direct fluid into the widening on the guide passage.
  • the widened portions 70, 72 thus together constitute a junction chamber where the thread and treatment fluid are brought together before passing onwards into the guide passage.
  • Figure 4 illustrates two bores 74, giving a total of four assuming that the other body part 12A is the same in this respect. This is however not the preferred arrangement, one embodiment of which will now be described with reference to Figure 5.
  • Figure 5 shows a section through the infeed end of the nozzle, the section being taken at right angles to the frontal view shown in Figure 4, so that both body parts 10A and 12A, and the join line 76 between them, are visible.
  • Each groove 60 is of triangular cross section, so that the complete guide passage 26A is square in section.
  • the thread infeed passage 64 A is now provided by a simple, triangular section groove in the insert element 78 in the body part 12A only i.e. the facing surface on the insert element 80 in the body part 10A is now planar. There is no external groove in the element 78 similar to the groove 68.
  • Recess 82 opens in the complete assembly onto a fluid supply passage 88 suitably provided (in a manner not shown in detail) in the body part 10A.
  • Bore 86 leads fluid from supply passage 88 to cavity 87 the upper portion of which, above the bore 86, opens onto the end-face of element 80 and is screwthreaded to receive a closure screw 89 with a sealing washer 91.
  • This opening provided by the upper portion of the cavity, is provided simply to enable access to the lower portion now to be described and is blocked off in normal use by the screw 18 9 or any other convenient closure means.
  • the lower portion of the cavity, below bore 86, comprises a screw threaded section 90 and a further section 92 which is not screw threaded.
  • a bore 94 of relatively small cross section provides a communication passage leading from section 92 to a recess 98 formed in the bottom surface of the element 80, and facing into the widening 72 formed on the upper end of the guide passage.
  • the angle X between the axis of the bore 94 and the adjacent side surface of the element 80 is made as small as practicable.
  • the bore 94 contains a tube 100 which is secured therein by any convenient means.
  • the illustrated securing means comprises an elastomeric compressible washer 102 clamped between an annular end surface of the cavity 87 and a bush 104. The latter can be urged towards the end surface of the cavity to squeeze the washer against the outer surface of the tube 100 by means of a tubular nut 106 in the screw threaded cavity section 90. Fluid flow communication between the bore 86 and the tube 100 is provided by the interior of the nut 106. The tube is so held relative to the insert element 80 that it will just project into the widening 72.
  • positive means could be provided on a tube of definite length to ensure its location in a desired position relative to insert element 80.
  • the bore 96 of the tube 100 constitutes the only fluid infeed passage in this embodiment and the element 80 in this case performs the additional function of acting as a receiver element for the fluid infeed tube 100, the latter being releasably secured in its receiver by the securing means referred to above.
  • the latter comprises sealing means, in this case washer 102, to ensure that all infeed fluid must pass through the tube 100.
  • each nozzle preferably has an associated set of flow control tubes 100 of different bore configurations i.e. different dimensions of bore cross section and/or different tube length and/or different bore shape.
  • the bore through each tube 100, providing the passage 96, is preferably circular in cross section.
  • the illustrated tube is of uniform cross section along the full length of the tube, but this is not essential.
  • the length of the tube is preferably chosen in relation to the other operating conditions e.g. type of treatment fluid, supply pressure, etc. to give a directed flow of fluid from the downstream end of the tube with minimum turbulence.
  • a relatively short orifice- type control is unsuitable for this purpose because it creates uncontrollable flow disturbances both at the upstream side and at the downstream side of the orifice and such disturbances prejudice the achievement of uniform texturising conditions both over time and between different nozzles.
  • the tube is aligned as close as possible to the line of the guide passage i.e. angle X is chosen as small as possible and the thread infeed passage 64A is provided in the element 78 only.
  • the junction region provided by widening 72 may be in the form of a tapering chamber narrowing towards the guide passage as illustrated, although the widening in the body part 12A could be omitted as indicated by the dotted line.
  • Angle X 15°
  • the angle X is not greater than 30° and an angle K less than 20° is highly desirable. Due to production problems, it will not usually be possible to obtain an angle X much less than 10-12°.
  • the minimum length of tube 100 is 0,4 cm and the preferred length is in the range 0,6 cm to 3 cm.
  • the lower end of the tube 100 preferably comes as close as possible to the line of the thread path through the nozzle without risking contact between the tube and the thread in use.
  • the tube may be provided with means, e.g. a flange at a location spaced from both ends of the tube to ensure that the downstream end is accurately located relative to thread path e.g. bush 104 may be secured to or integral with tube 100.
  • the thread path through the nozzle is preferably straight and the fluid preferably joins the thread path from an infeed passage at a, preferably small, angle thereto.
  • the reversal of this relationship makes the division of the nozzle, for opening and closing purposes, extremely complex with the risk of very high wear on the nozzle, and disturbance in the system, at the location where the thread path bends to join the straight fluid flow path.
  • Exchangeable liner tubes such as tube 100 shown in Figure 5, could of course be used in one-piece texturising nozzles or in a texturising nozzle which is divided, for example as shown in the co-pending European Patent Application No. 80105347.1 but which does not have insert assemblies at the infeed end and/or outfeed end.
  • the exchangeable liner tubes such as tube 100 could have a slightly conical bore instead of a bore of uniform circular cross section as illustrated.
  • the bore would taper in the flow direction, i.e. narrowest cross section at downstream end, with a small half angle, i.e. angle between the axis of the bore and a straight line lying in the internal surface of the tube.
  • the maximum practical half angle would be about 5°.
  • This conical formation of the infeed tube would reduce air speed at the upstream end of the tube, giving lower losses through friction, while still giving adequate air speed at the downstream end. Further modifications will now be described with reference to Figures 6 to 11.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a modification of the embodiment shown in Figure 5.
  • the body part 12B is seen in plan view similar to the view of the body part 10A shown in Fig. 4.
  • the non-thermally-conductive cover 54 (in Fig. 4) has been omitted from Figure 6.
  • the first modification concerns the guide passage constituted in the completed nozzle by the grooves 60A.
  • the cross sectional area of this passage increases uniformly in the down-stream direction, that is from the upper end of the passage to the lower end as viewed in Figure 6.
  • the junction location, at which the thread and fluid are brought together, is now provided by the uppermost section of the guide passage but there is no enlarged "junction chamber" similar to that shown at 72 in Figure 5.
  • the widening of the guide passage in the embodiment of Figure 6 will be referred to for convenience as a "conical" widening, although each groove 60A is triangular in cross section so that the guide passage itself is square in cross section, as in the embodiment of Figure 5.
  • the "conical" formation of the guide passage enables use of a higher velocity of treatment fluid at the infeed end of the guide passage and an increased forwarding effect of the treatment fluid in the guide passage taken as a whole, that is an increased tension in the thread upstream from the nozzle. This improves the running of the thread upstream from the nozzle. However, it is found that above a certain degree of widening, which degree will be discussed further below, no further improvement in running performance is observed.
  • the guide passage is represented as a frusto-cone.
  • the cross sectional area of the upper axial surface of the frusto-cone (of smaller diameter d) is equal to the cross sectional area of the guide passage at its upstream end.
  • the cross sectional area of the lower axial surface of the frusto-cone (larger diameter D ) is equal to the cross sectional area of the guide passage at its downstream end.
  • the length L between the axial surfaces of the frusto-cone is equal to the length L of the guide passage.
  • the degree of widening of the guide passage can then be represented by a corresponding number derived from the diagram of Figure 8, as follows - where E is the required degree of widening, expressed as a % of length L.
  • the running performance of the thread improves as the degree of widening is increased from 0 to about 1,0 %.
  • the degree of widening can be increased beyond this value without detracting from the performance of the texturising chamber. Values of at least 1,2 % are achievable without so detracting from the performance of the texturising chamber.
  • the widening shown in the drawings is both smooth and uniform, and it takes place over the full length of the guide passage. Discontinuities in the surface bounding the guide passage, e.g. as produced by stepped widening, are liable to introduce flow disturbances and may therefore be found undesirable. A varying rate of smooth widening along the length of the guide passage is acceptable, but requires a relatively complex formation step and may be difficult to reproduce accurately in different nozzles. The widening could occur along part only of the length of the guide passage, but preferably extends from one end thereof to the other as this widening enables a higher average velocity of the treatment fluid taken along the guide passage as a whole.
  • the thread infeed passage 64B provided by a groove in the infeed insert element 78A only, also varies in cross-section along its length. Widening does not occur along the full length of the thread infeed passage, however, but only upstream from a point indicated by the numeral 108 in Figure 6. From the point 108 to its downstream end, the thread infeed passage is of uniform cross-section, of the minimum value consistent with infeed of the desired thread without interference. Thus, flow of treatment fluid "backwards" along the thread infeed passage is minimized. Any treatment fluid which does leak backwards along the thread infeed passage will have a "reverse forwarding" effect, i.e. an effect in opposition to the forwarding of the thread in the guide passage.
  • Figure 7 illustrates more clearly a further modification of the embodiment of Figure 6 when compared with that of Figure 5, namely that the thread infeed passage 64B is "offset" relative to the guide passage 26B made up by the two grooves 60A, that is, the thread infeed passage 64B and the guide passage 26B have no common plane of symmetry.
  • the longitudinal center line of groove 64B is displaced to the left of the longitudinal center line of groove 60A in body part 12B; the displacement, which is not clearly apparent in Figure 6, is to the right in that Figure, because the nozzle part is there viewed in under- plan when compared with Figure 7.
  • rhe texturising chamber insert element has been omitted from Figure 6, so that the downstream cavity 110 is seen as a whole in that Figure. Part of the upstream cavity 112 can also be seen in Figure 6, although the infeed insert element 78A is located in its operative position in that cavity.
  • a rebate is formed at the lower end of the cavity 112, so that the insert element 78A makes sealing contact with the body part 12B on a relatively limited sealing surface 114 surrounding the thread infeed and guide passages.
  • a similar rebate is formed at the upper end of the cavity 110.
  • the cavity 110 in Figure 6 is generally similar to the corresponding cavity in Figure 4 and could receive a similar insert element 22.
  • the design of the insert elements can also be changed from that shown in Figures 1 to 4.
  • the slots 44 may be replaced by holes extending radially through the wall-portion of each insert.
  • Such a structure is inherently more rigid than a structure comprising a plurality of slots, and it may therefore be possible to eliminate, wholly or partly, the support flange from the upstream end of the insert.
  • the insert would still make sealing contact with the body part 12B on an axial surface surrounding the guide passage and the entrance to the texturising chamber, but each insert element would be secured and supported only adjacent its downstream end. If the upstream flange is only partly eliminated, the downstream flange may still provide the only securing/supporting means, but the remaining part of the upstream flange can reinforce the structure against undesired vibration.
  • Figure 9 illustrates a modification of Figure 6 using a modified texturising insert assembly as referred to above.
  • the body part 12C has a square or rectangular section cavity 110A, and each texturising chamber insert element 22A has a correspondingly shaped flange 43A at its downstream end.
  • Insert element 22A also has a circular-section groove 116, which in the complete nozzle is aligned with a similar groove in a complementary body part 10C (not illustrated) to define a texturising chamber.
  • insert element 22A also has a wall-portion similar to wall-portion 40 of the insert element 22, but the perforations in insert element 22A are provided by holes of circular or other convenient section extending radially through the wall-portion and each of relatively small dimensions relative to the length of the insert.
  • Insert element 22A may have a reinforcing flange at its upstream end, or the sealing surface at the upstream end may be provided simply by the axial end surface of the wall-portion. In any event, insert element 22A is secured and supported in the cavity 110A only at its downstream end, by means now to be described.
  • insert 22A is supported clear of the base of the trough-like cavity 110A by means of one or more adjusting screws 118 engaging the flange 43A.
  • the screws 118 extend through suitable screw-threaded openings 120 formed in the body part 12C.
  • Insert element 22A is secured in the cavity 110A and is laterally aligned with the guide passage, by means of one or more securing screws 122.
  • the illustrated screw 122 passes through a relatively en-Ilarged opening 123 in the left hand side wall of the body part 12C (as viewed in Figure 9) and engages with a screw threaded opening in the flange 43A to draw the flange into firm contact with that left hand side wall.
  • Insert element 22A could have a flange at its upstream end similar to the flange 43A, and then similar support and securing screws could be provided to engage that upstream flange.
  • infeed grooves 64A and 64B are relatively easy to form accurately and could be provided directly in the correspondingly modified body part 12A or 12B instead of in a separate insert as t illustrated.
  • Figure 10 illustrates yet a further modification of Figure 6 at the infeed end of the nozzle.
  • the view shown in Figure 10 corresponds with that shown in Figure 5, i.e. the nozzle is shown in a closed position with the body parts 10 D and 12D engaging each other on the contact plane 76.
  • the same numerals have been used as far as possible to indicate the same parts.
  • the thread infeed passage 64B being formed directly in the body part 12D, i.e. the cavity 112 shown in Figure 6 is eliminated.
  • the control of inflow of treatment fluid is once again effected by a single, tubular flow control element 124 which is of complex construction relative to the simple tube 100 shown in Figure 5, and which will be described further below.
  • Element 124 is mounted in a cavity 87A similar to the cavity 87 of Figure 5 but provided directly in the body part 10 D .
  • Element 124 projects into a bore 94A which provides a communication passage leading from the lower end of the cavity to the groove 60A.
  • Bore 94A is of relatively small cross section relative to the cavity, so that an annular surface 126 is left at the lower end of the cavity.
  • Supply of treatment fluid to the cavity is effected via a supply passage 86A suitably formed in the body part 10D.
  • cavity 87A provides an access opening onto the end face of body part 10D, which opening is screw threaded to receive closure screw 89A.
  • the receiver element, receiving the flowcontrol element 124 is the body part 10D itself.
  • Flow control element 124 (best seen in Figure 11) comprises a tubular body portion 128 having an enlarged end portion 130 at its upstream end and a flange 132 adjacent but spaced from the end portion 130. As illustrated, the enlarged end 13 0 and flange 132 are integral with the body 128, but they could each be formed separately and secured to the body if required.
  • the external diameter of portion 130 is such that it can be inserted into one end of a spiral spring 134 (Fig. 10) so as to be gripped by the spring. Element 124 is forced into the spring until the latter engages one axial surface of flange 132.
  • Spring 134 extends along the cavity 87A to engage with a guide projection 136 on the end of screw 89A.
  • Spring 134 is longer than cavity 87A, so that the spring provides an urging means producing an axial force urging flange 132 against surface 126.
  • Contact between flange 132 and surface 126 is made by an axially projecting rim 138 formed on the flange.
  • the flexibility of flange 132 is such that it can distort in response to unevenness of surface 126 under the force applied by spring 134 so as to ensure sealing contact of rim 138 with surface 126 on an annulus completely surrounding the entrance to bore 94A.
  • the flange and spring together form a resilient securing means securing flow control element 124 in place.
  • Element 124 has a throughbore comprising a bore portion 140 of uniform circular cross-section merging with a tapering portion 142.
  • This tapering formation at least at the entrance, is preferred because it renders the flow control performance of the element less sensitive to damage or malformation of the flow control bore in the entrance region.
  • Bore portion 140 of uniform cross-section actually controls the inflow of treatment fluid.
  • the length 1 of this bore portion is preferably at least equal to and may desirably be up to three times, the diameter of that portion.
  • the requirements regarding the angle between tube 128 and thread infeed passage 64B are the same as those described above for the tube 100 and thread infeed passage 64A.
  • Flow control element 124 could of course be used in a suitably modified embodiment of Figure 5.
  • spring 134 When closure screw 89A is removed, spring 134 can be withdrawn from cavity 87A and will simultaneously withdraw flow control element 124 because of the gripping contact between the spring and end portion 130.
  • Spring 134 may also be suitably secured to closure screw 89A for removal therewith, but the securing arrangement should not cause rotation of the flow control element in the cavity in response to screwing or unscrewing of the closure 89A.
  • the design has been further substantially improved at the infeed end of the nozzle enabling both increased control over flow conditions within the nozzle, i.e. increased uniformity as between different nozzles and over time, and easier manufacture.
  • the improvement has been carried to such a degree that the infeed insert assembly, which was essential in the embodiment of Figure 3 to overcome wastage problems associated with manufacture of that design, can now be eliminated without thereby causing unacceptable wastage levels.
