Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de traitement du mouillé de matières textiles enroulées en utilisant la force centrifuge, ainsi qu'à un dispositif appliquant ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method of treating wet rolled up textile materials using centrifugal force, as well as to a device applying this method.

Afin d'obtenir une production optimale dans les tissages et les bonneteries, il y a lieu de « paraffiner » le fil, c'est-à-dire l'égaliser. Le paraffinage se fait dans les tissages à des vitesses toujours plus grandes et dans les bonneteries pour prévenir le surchauffage et le cassage des fils lorsqu'ils sont tirés à grande vitesse au travers des aiguilles.In order to obtain optimal production in weaving and hosiery, it is necessary to “paraffinate” the yarn, that is to say to equalize it. Waxing is done in weaving at ever higher speeds and in hosiery to prevent overheating and breaking of the threads when they are pulled at high speed through the needles.

Aussi, il y a lieu d'humidifier le fil, parce qu'après le filage et le bobinage, les filés de coton n'atteignent qu'une teneur en humidité d'environ 5,5 %, en comparaison avec la teneur conventionnelle d'environ 8,5 %.Also, the yarn should be moistened, because after spinning and winding, the cotton yarns only reach a moisture content of around 5.5%, compared to the conventional content of '' about 8.5%.

Il est connu de procédé au paraffinage au bobinage des fils. Ce paraffinage peut se faire à la paraffine dure, le fil glissant entre deux plaquettes de paraffine, ou à la paraffine liquide, le fil glissant sur des rouleaux partiellement immergés dans la paraffine.It is known to wax the winding process of the wires. This waxing can be done with hard paraffin, the thread sliding between two paraffin wafers, or with liquid paraffin, the thread sliding on rollers partially immersed in the paraffin.

Les deux systèmes de paraffinage au bobinage ont les désavantages suivants.The two winding waxing systems have the following disadvantages.

L'impossibilité d'ajouté d'un pourcentage de paraffine suffisamment élevé pour les métiers à tisser, métiers à tricoter et machines à coudre, toujours plus exigeants et travaillant à des vitesses toujours accrues. La difficulté d'adaptation aux différences de % de paraffinage exigées. Enfin, la nécessité de faire subir aux bobines un deuxième traitement pour obtenir le degré d'humidité conventionnel.The impossibility of adding a sufficiently high percentage of paraffin for weaving looms, knitting looms and sewing machines, always more demanding and working at ever increasing speeds. Difficulty adapting to the differences in% of paraffin wax required. Finally, the need to subject the coils to a second treatment to obtain the conventional degree of humidity.

Il est aussi connu d'exécuter le paraffinage, et aussi l'ensimage et l'humidification de tous filés textiles sur bobines, après le bobinage.It is also known to perform waxing, and also the sizing and moistening of all textile yarns on spools, after winding.

Un appareil d'essorage centrifuge combiné à l'ensimage de bobines textiles connu, comprend une broche ou tube cylindrique et poreux dans le sens radial servant à porter des bobines, ou canettes, et qui est monté verticalement dans une chambre délimitée par un carter fixe. L'eau, ou le liquide aqueux, extrait de ces bobines est évacué de cette chambre et l'intérieur du tube est relié à un mécanisme servant à faire circuler le produit d'ensimage, et comprenant un bain d'huile, une vanne croisée servant à détourner la conduite dans ce bain d'huile, et une pompe d'alimentation servant à envoyer à force l'agent d'ensimage à l'intérieur du tube. Cet appareil est décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2 143 766.A centrifugal spinning device combined with the known size of textile spools, comprises a spindle or tube which is cylindrical and porous in the radial direction and which serves to carry spools, or cans, and which is mounted vertically in a chamber delimited by a fixed casing . The water, or aqueous liquid, extracted from these coils is evacuated from this chamber and the interior of the tube is connected to a mechanism serving to circulate the sizing product, and comprising an oil bath, a cross valve serving to divert the pipe into this oil bath, and a feed pump used to force the sizing agent inside the tube. This device is described in patent FR-A-2 143 766.

Un autre appareil connu pour le traitement de textiles avec des liquides et des gaz, comprend un récipient vertical dans lequel un tube perforé, enroulé avec les matières à traiter, est tourné par un arbre de transmission creux par lequel les liquides et les gaz sont approvisionnés. Un disque courbé est arrangé dans ledit tube perforé afin de recevoir le liquide et de le détourner dans la direction de la paroi du tube. Cet appareil centrifuge est décrit dans le US-A-1 564 503.Another known device for treating textiles with liquids and gases, comprises a vertical container in which a perforated tube, wound with the materials to be treated, is rotated by a hollow transmission shaft through which the liquids and gases are supplied . A curved disc is arranged in said perforated tube in order to receive the liquid and divert it in the direction of the wall of the tube. This centrifugal device is described in US-A-1,564,503.

La présente invention a pour objet de prévoir un procédé et un appareil de traitement de tous filés textiles embobinés, qui permet d'obtenir des pourcentages de glissement plus élevés et plus réguliers, ainsi que des humidifications plus uniformes en comparaison avec des procédés et dispositifs connus, notamment ceux connus des brevets sus-mentionnés.The object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for treating all wound textile yarns, which makes it possible to obtain higher and more regular slip percentages, as well as more uniform humidifications in comparison with known methods and devices. , especially those known from the above-mentioned patents.

Selon la présente invention, un procédé de traitement de matières textiles enroulées, dans lequel un mélange d'air et de produits chimiques pour le paraffinage, l'ensimage et l'humidification de matières textiles est alimenté, sous pression, dans la cavité d'un tube perforé d'une bobine et dans lequel, par rotation, une force centrifuge est obtenue lançant le mélange au travers de la bobine, est caractérisé en ce que le mélange est alimenté sur un cône de répartition, fixé sur un axe rotatif, et situé dans la cavité de la bobine.According to the present invention, a process for treating wound textile materials, in which a mixture of air and chemicals for waxing, sizing and humidifying textile materials is supplied, under pressure, into the cavity. a perforated tube of a coil and in which, by rotation, a centrifugal force is obtained launching the mixture through the coil, is characterized in that the mixture is fed on a distribution cone, fixed on a rotary axis, and located in the coil cavity.

L'emploi du procédé de l'invention démontre que la présence du cône de répartition permet d'obtenir un pourcentage de glissement élevé et plus régulier, et une humidification très régulière, résultant de l'homogénéité de la répartition.The use of the method of the invention demonstrates that the presence of the distribution cone makes it possible to obtain a high and more regular percentage of slip, and a very regular humidification, resulting from the homogeneity of the distribution.

L'invention comprend aussi un dispositif de traitement. Selon l'invention, un dispositif appliquant le procédé de l'invention, est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste en un conduit d'approvisionnement de produits chimiques pour le paraffinage, l'ensimage et l'humidification de matières textiles et d'un conduit d'approvisionnement d'air, ces conduits effectuant le mélange de l'air avec lesdits produits chimiques ; un tube par lequel le mélange obtenu est alimenté dans la cavité du tube perforé de la bobine, soit par au-dessus, soit par au-dessous ; un cône de répartition fixé sur un axe rotatif et situé dans la cavité du tube de la bobine et un élément pour garder en position ladite bobine.The invention also includes a processing device. According to the invention, a device applying the method of the invention, is characterized in that it consists of a supply pipe for chemicals for waxing, sizing and moistening of textile materials and a air supply duct, these ducts mixing the air with said chemicals; a tube through which the mixture obtained is fed into the cavity of the perforated tube of the coil, either from above or from below; a distribution cone fixed on a rotary axis and located in the cavity of the coil tube and an element for keeping said coil in position.

L'invention est décrite ci-après à titre d'exemple, en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une élévation schématique d'un appareil suivant l'invention ; et la figure 2 est un tableau comparatif de diagrammes glissométri- ques.
The invention is described below by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic elevation of an apparatus according to the invention; and FIG. 2 is a comparative table of sliding diagrams.

Se référant à la figure 1, des produits chimiques 1, mélangés avec de l'air 2 sont injectés, sous pression adéquate, dans la cavité du tube perforé 3 de la bobine 6, soit par au-dessus, soit par au-dessous. Par rotation on obtient une force centrifuge, lançant le produit au travers de la bobine. La rotation de la bobine est obtenue en fixant le tube 3 de la bobine 6 sur un axe rotatif 7 et en le gardant en position de l'autre côté par la pression d'un roulement à billes 8. La partie 9 est un cône de répartition fixé sur l'axe rotatif 7. L'alimentation propre des produits se fait sous pression dans l'espace entre le cône 9 et le tube 3, le cône 9 produisant une répartition homogène des produits injectés. Le procédé permet de traiter toutes bobines, sous toutes leurs formes : coniques, cylindriques, diversités en hauteur et diamètre, constituées de n'importe quel genre de filé textile : fibres naturelles, artificielles ou synthétiques, pures ou mélangées.Referring to Figure 1, chemicals 1, mixed with air 2 are injected, under adequate pressure, into the cavity of the perforated tube 3 of the coil 6, either from above or from below. By rotation a centrifugal force is obtained, launching the product through the coil. The rotation of the coil is obtained by fixing the tube 3 of the coil 6 on a rotary axis 7 and keeping it in position on the other side by the pressure of a ball bearing 8. The part 9 is a cone of distribution fixed on the rotary axis 7. The clean supply of the products is done under pressure in the space between the cone 9 and the tube 3, the cone 9 producing a homogeneous distribution of the injected products. The process makes it possible to treat all coils, in all their forms: conical, cylindrical, diversities in height and diameter, made from any kind of textile yarn: natural, artificial or synthetic fibers, pure or mixed.

La figure 2 comprend trois diagrammes glisso- métriques comparatifs démontrant la supériorité du procédé de la présente invention.Figure 2 includes three comparative flow diagrams demonstrating the superiority of the process of the present invention.

Le diagramme I se rapporte à une bobine avec du fil de fibres naturelles n'ayant subi aucun traitement, le diagramme Il se rapporte à une bobine Il avec du fil qui a subi un paraffinage sur bobinoire, tandis que le diagramme III se rapporte à une bobine III avec du fil ayant subi un ensimage sur bobine après bobinage selon le procédé de traitement de l'invention.Diagram I relates to a coil with natural fiber yarn which has not undergone any treatment, diagram II relates to a coil II with wire which has undergone waxing on a reel, while diagram III relates to a reel III with wire having undergone a sizing on reel after winding according to the treatment method of the invention.

L'axe vertical des diagrammes indique la position axiale des enroulements de fil des bobines sur leur tube 3.The vertical axis of the diagrams indicates the axial position of the wire windings of the spools on their tube 3.

La bobine III a été répartie en quatre parties, c'est-à-dire. la partie extérieure, deux parties du milieu, et la partie intérieure contre le tube.The coil III has been divided into four parts, that is to say. the outer part, two middle parts, and the inner part against the tube.

Les courbes à gauche des diagrammes représentent le pourcentage (%) de glissement des fils.The curves to the left of the diagrams represent the percentage (%) of slip of the wires.

Le diagramme I démontre clairement que le pourcentage de glissement du fil est bas (environ 45 %), et très irrégulier pour ainsi dire inutilisable.Diagram I clearly shows that the percentage of slip of the wire is low (around 45%), and very irregular, so to speak, unusable.

Le diagramme Il démontre que le pourcentage de glissement est plus élevé (environ (80 %), et aussi plus régulier. Toutefois le paraffinage sur bobine est une opération coûteuse, comportant des inconvénients majeurs.The diagram It shows that the percentage of slip is higher (approximately (80%), and also more regular.However, waxing on a coil is an expensive operation, with major drawbacks.

Le diagramme III démontre que le pourcentage de glissement est très élevé (environ 88 %, une valeur jamais obtenue auparavant) et surtout très régulier. Cette régularité résulte de l'homogénéité exceptionnelle de la répartition de l'air et des produits chimiques par le cône.Diagram III shows that the percentage of slip is very high (around 88%, a value never obtained before) and above all very regular. This regularity results from the exceptional homogeneity of the distribution of air and chemicals by the cone.

Un avantage supplémentaire pour les filatures et teintureries est que les bobines traitées selon le procédé de l'invention peuvent être emballées automatiquement et préparées à l'expédition, immédiatement après leur traitement.An additional advantage for spinning mills and dyers is that the reels treated according to the method of the invention can be automatically wrapped and prepared for dispatch, immediately after their treatment.

Finalement, le procédé de l'invention offre la possibilité de produire une meilleure qualité à un prix de revient réduit et d'obtenir ainsi un accroissement de la compétitivité.Finally, the method of the invention offers the possibility of producing better quality at a reduced cost price and thus obtaining an increase in competitiveness.
