Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Liefervorrichtung für laufende Fäden, mit einem Speicherkörper, welchem der Faden in Umfangsrichtung zuläuft und von dem der Faden über Kopf abgezogen wird und auf welchem eine bestimmte einstellbare Anzahl von Fadenwindungen als Vorratsmenge zwischen Zulaufstelle und Abzugsende gespeichert ist, wobei zur Bestimmung der Anzahl der Fadenwindungen eine die Speicherkörper-Mantelfläche abtastende, den Drehantrieb für den Fadenzulauf steuernde Lichtschranke vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a delivery device for running threads, with a storage body, to which the thread runs in the circumferential direction and from which the thread is withdrawn overhead and on which a certain adjustable number of thread turns is stored as a supply quantity between the feed point and the end of withdrawal, for determining the Number of thread turns a light barrier is provided which scans the surface of the storage body and controls the rotary drive for the thread feed.

Derartige Ausgestaltungen sind auf dem Markt bekannt. Die Lichtschranke setzt sich aus einem Sender und einem Empfänger zusammen derart, daß das vom Sender ausgestrahlte Licht auf einen Spiegel des Speicherkörpers auftrifft, von diesem Spiegel reflektiert und zum Empfänger geleitet wird. Anstelle eines eingesetzten Spiegels bzw. einer Reflektorplatine kann auch die Mantelfläche selbst reflektierend gestaltet sein. Nachteilig an dieser Ausgestaltung ist die Tatsache, daß auch eine Beeinflussung der Lichtschranke durch Störeffekte aus dem Tageslicht oder dergleichen erfolgen kann, was dann zu Fehlschaltungen des Drehantriebs führt.Such designs are known on the market. The light barrier is composed of a transmitter and a receiver in such a way that the light emitted by the transmitter strikes a mirror of the storage body, is reflected by this mirror and is directed to the receiver. Instead of an inserted mirror or a reflector plate, the outer surface itself can also be designed to be reflective. A disadvantage of this configuration is the fact that the light barrier can also be influenced by interference from daylight or the like, which then leads to incorrect switching of the rotary drive.

Dem Gegenstand der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Liefervorrichtung mit einer solchen Lichtschranke auszustatten, die weitgehend nur auf das vom Sender ausgestrahlte Licht anspricht.The object of the invention is to provide a delivery device with such a light barrier, which largely responds only to the light emitted by the transmitter.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruches angegebene Erfindung.This object is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.

Zufolge derartiger Ausgestaltung ist eine gattungsgemäße Liefervorrichtung von leistungsstarkem und störungsunanfälligem Aufbau angegeben. Das Reflexionsprinzip ist ersetzt durch das Lichtleiterprinzip von einer Stelle des Umfanges zu einer benachbarten Stelle. Die Querschnittsfläche des Lichtleiters kann erheblich geringer sein als die Reflexionsfläche beim Stand der Technik. Störeffekte durch Fremdlicht, Spiegelungen etc. sind demgemäß weitgehend ausgeschlossen. Der Lichtleiter kann aus einem Monoblock, z. B. aus Plexiglas oder Glas bestehen oder auch mehrteilig zusammengesetzt sein.As a result of such a configuration, a generic delivery device with a powerful and failure-prone structure is specified. The reflection principle is replaced by the light guide principle from one point on the circumference to an adjacent point. The cross-sectional area of the light guide can be considerably smaller than the reflection area in the prior art. Interference caused by extraneous light, reflections etc. are therefore largely excluded. The light guide can be made from a monoblock, e.g. B. consist of plexiglass or glass or be composed of several parts.

Eine in dieser Beziehung vorteilhafte Lösung ist die Verwendung von entsprechenden Lichtleiterfasern in einem Tragstück. Das Tragstück kann dabei so gestaltet sein, daß es konstruktiv günstig in den Speicherkörper einbaubar ist. Der Einsatz eines solchen Tragstücks ist vor allem bei stehenden Speicherkörper, welchem eine umlaufende Fadenöse zugeordnet ist, günstig.An advantageous solution in this regard is the use of appropriate optical fibers in a support piece. The support piece can be designed so that it can be installed in the storage body in a structurally advantageous manner. The use of such a support piece is particularly advantageous when the storage body is standing, to which a circumferential thread eyelet is assigned.

Ein weiteres vorteilhaftes Merkmal ist dabei darin zu sehen, daß das Tragstück als Bogenstück gestaltet ist. Die Formgebung des Bogenstücks ist dabei derart, daß die Stirnflächen der Lichtleiterfasern benachbart angeordnet sind. Dies bringt den Vorteil, daß sowohl Sender als auch Empfänger der Lichtschranke in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse unterbringbar sind verbunden mit einem vereinfachten Aufbau.Another advantageous feature can be seen in the fact that the support piece is designed as a curved piece. The shape of the arch piece is such that the end faces of the optical fibers are arranged adjacent. This has the advantage that both transmitter and receiver of the light barrier can be accommodated in a common housing combined with a simplified structure.

Weiterhin erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß die Stirnflächen der Lichtleiterfasern in zwei benachbarten, dem Speicherkörper verstellbar zugeordneten Stäben zur Variation der Speicherkörper-Mantelfläche im Bereich der Fadenaufwickelstelle liegen. Die Stäbe erfüllen dadurch eine Doppelfunktion. Einerseits dienen sie zur Variation der Aufwickeibedingungen. Andererseits sind sie noch Träger der Lichtleiterfasern. Sie bringen eine genügend große Befestigungsfläche für die Enden der Lichtleiterfasern. Ferner bewegen sich bei der Verstellung der Stäbe die Stirnflächen cer Lichtleiterfasern mit.Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous that the end faces of the optical fibers lie in two adjacent rods adjustably assigned to the storage body in order to vary the outer surface of the storage body in the region of the thread winding point. The bars therefore have a double function. On the one hand, they serve to vary the winding conditions. On the other hand, they are still carriers of the optical fibers. They provide a sufficiently large fastening area for the ends of the optical fibers. Furthermore, the end faces of the light guide fibers move with the adjustment of the rods.

Handelt es sich bezüglich des Speicherkörpers um einen drehbaren, so sind mehrere Bogenstücke in Umfangsrichtung des Speicherkörpers hintereinanderliegend vorgesehen derart, daß ihr Abstand zueinander kleiner ist als der dem Lichtschrankensender und -empfänger zukommende Öffnungskegel. Das bedeutet, daß nach Stillstand des Speicherkörpers in einer x-beliebigen Winkelstellung das vom Sender ausgestrahlte Licht stets über ein Bogenstück zum Empfänger geleitet wird.If the storage body is a rotatable one, a plurality of arc pieces are provided one behind the other in the circumferential direction of the storage body in such a way that their distance from one another is smaller than the opening cone coming to the light barrier transmitter and receiver. This means that after the storage body has come to a standstill in an arbitrary angular position, the light emitted by the transmitter is always conducted to the receiver via an arc.

Schließlich ist es fertigungstechnisch noch von Vorteil, daß das Tragstück aus zwei konzentrisch zueinander liegenden und die Lichtleiterfasern zwischen sich aufnehmenden Platinen besteht. Vorzugsweise wird für die Platinen Aluminium verwendet. Die Lichtleiterfasern liegen zwischen diesen Platinen geschützt ein, was zur Stabilitätserhöhung beiträgt.Finally, it is also advantageous in terms of production technology that the support piece consists of two concentrically arranged boards and the light guide fibers between the receiving boards. Aluminum is preferably used for the boards. The optical fibers are protected between these boards, which contributes to an increase in stability.

Nachstehend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Fig. 1 bis 4 erläutert. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 eine Ansicht einer entsprechend ausgestalteten, mit einer Lichtschranke ausgestatteten Liefervorrichtung,
  • Fig. 2 eine Stirnansicht der Liefervorrichtung, wobei die ballige Ring-Kopffläche des Speicherkörpers fortgelassen ist,
  • Fig. 3 in vergrößerter Darstellung einen Längsschnitt durch den Speicherkörper im Bereich der Fadenzulaufstelle und der Lichtschranke und
  • Fig. 4 einen Querschnitt durch den in Fig. 3 veranschaulichten Speicherkörper.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. It shows
  • 1 is a view of a correspondingly designed delivery device equipped with a light barrier,
  • 2 shows an end view of the delivery device, the spherical ring head surface of the storage body being omitted,
  • Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a longitudinal section through the storage body in the area of the thread feed point and the light barrier and
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the storage body illustrated in FIG. 3.

Die Liefervorrichtung besitzt einen an ein Gehäuse 1 angeflanschten, den Drehantrieb bildenden Elektromotor 2. Es könnte auch ein anderer mittelbarer Antrieb vorgesehen sein. Dessen im einzelnen nicht dargestellte Motorwelle ist mit einem Fadenösenträger 3 drehfest verbunden. Der zulaufende Faden F gelangt in einen zentrischen Kanal der Motorwelle und von dort aus zur Fadenöse 4 des Fadenösenträgers 3, welcher in der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Pfeilrichtung x umläuft. Dem Drehantrieb ist eine nicht näher veranschaulichte, jedoch bei solchen Liefervorrichtungen bekannte Bremseinrichtung zugeordnet.The delivery device has an electric motor 2 which is flanged to a housing 1 and forms the rotary drive. Another could be indirect drive can be provided. Whose motor shaft, not shown in detail, is rotatably connected to a thread eyelet carrier 3. The incoming thread F enters a central channel of the motor shaft and from there to the thread eyelet 4 of the thread eyelet carrier 3, which rotates in the direction of the arrow x shown in FIG. 2. The rotary drive is associated with a braking device, which is not illustrated in detail, but is known in such delivery devices.

Die Motorwelle des Elektromotors 2 ist Träger eines Speicherkörpers 5. Es handelt sich diesbezüglich um einen stehenden Speicherkörper. Im einzelnen besitzt er eine als Trommel ausgebildete Mantelwand 6, welche am abzugsseitigen Ende der Liefervorrichtung in eine Stirnwand 7 übergeht. Überfangen wird das abzugsseitige Ende der Mantelwand 6 von einer balligen Ring-Kopffläche 8. Letzterem ist ein mit Borsten 9 bestückter Bremsring 10 zugeordnet, der seinerseits an einem Ausleger 11 sitzt. Befestigt ist dieser mittels eines Ringflansches 12 am Gehäuse 1.The motor shaft of the electric motor 2 is the carrier of a storage body 5. In this regard, it is a standing storage body. In particular, it has a jacket wall 6 designed as a drum, which merges into an end wall 7 at the end of the delivery device on the discharge side. The trigger-side end of the jacket wall 6 is overlapped by a spherical ring head surface 8. The latter is assigned a brake ring 10 equipped with bristles 9, which in turn is seated on a bracket 11. It is attached to the housing 1 by means of an annular flange 12.

Das der Ring-Kopffläche 8 zugekehrte Ende des Auslegers 11 trägt an einer Abwinkfung 13 eine Fadenabzugsöse 14, die koaxial zur Achse des Speicherkörpers 5 liegt und mit Abstand vor der Ring-Kopffläche 8 angeordnet ist.The end of the arm 11 facing the ring head surface 8 has a thread withdrawal eye 14 at a bend 13, which is coaxial to the axis of the storage body 5 and is arranged at a distance in front of the ring head surface 8.

Das dem Fadenösenträger 3 zugekehrte Ende der Mantelwand 6 geht über eine Ringkehle 15 in eine konische Erweiterung 16 über. Der Steigungswinkel dieser konischen Erweiterung beträgt ca. 45°. An die konische Erweiterung 16 schließt sich ein parallel verlaufender Abschnitt 17 an, der vom Fadenösenträger 3 übergriffen ist.The end of the jacket wall 6 facing the thread eyelet carrier 3 merges into a conical widening 16 via an annular groove 15. The pitch angle of this conical extension is approx. 45 °. A parallel section 17 adjoins the conical extension 16 and is overlapped by the thread eyelet carrier 3.

Dem Speicherkörper 5 sind in gleicher Winkelverteilung angeordnete Stäbe 18 zugeordnet, die teilweise in Rinnen 19 der Mantelwand 6 einliegen und diese überragen. Die sich etwa über die ganze Achslänge des Speicherkörpers 5 erstreckenden Stäbe 18 bilden an ihren der Winkel kehle 15 zugekehrten Enden ihrerseits eigene Winkelkehlen 20. Deren Kehlenwinkel liegt etwas unter 180°. Die sich an die Winkelkehle 20 anschließenden Enden 22 der Stäbe 18 greifen in von den Rinnen 19 ausgehende Schlitze 21 der konischen Erweiterung 16 ein. Die Stäbe stützen sich mit diesen Enden 22 an radial gerichteten Fingern 23 einer Verstellscheibe 24 ab.The storage body 5 is assigned rods 18 arranged in the same angular distribution, which partly lie in grooves 19 of the jacket wall 6 and protrude beyond them. The approximately 18 over the entire length of the axis of the storage body 5 rods 18 form at their the angle throat 15 facing ends turn their own angle fillets 20. Their throat angle is slightly below 180 °. The ends 22 of the rods 18 adjoining the angular groove 20 engage in slots 21 of the conical widening 16 extending from the grooves 19. The rods are supported with these ends 22 on radially directed fingers 23 of an adjusting disk 24.

Mittels einer zentralen, von der Ring-Kopffläche 8 zugänglichen Handhabe 25 lassen sich die Stäbe 18 mit Scheibe 24 und Fingern 23 gleichzeitig in die in Fig. 3 veranschaulichte Pfeilrichtung verlagern. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, ausschließlich die Verstellscheibe 24 über eine Einstellschraube 26 zu bewegen. Letztere ist ebenfalls von der Ring-Kopffläche 8 her zugänglich. Eine Verstellung der Scheibe 24 in Pfeilrichtung führt zu einem Verschwenken der Stäbe 18 um einen nahe der Ring-Kopffläche befindlichen Schwenkpunkt. In beiden Fällen werden die Aufwickelverhältnisse im Bereich der Fadenzulaufstelle variiert.By means of a central handle 25 accessible from the ring head surface 8, the rods 18 with the disk 24 and fingers 23 can be displaced simultaneously in the direction of the arrow illustrated in FIG. 3. However, it is also possible to move the adjusting disk 24 exclusively via an adjusting screw 26. The latter is also accessible from the ring head surface 8. An adjustment of the disc 24 in the direction of the arrow leads to a pivoting of the rods 18 about a pivot point located near the ring head surface. In both cases, the winding conditions in the area of the thread feed point are varied.

An dem Ausleger 11 befindet sich ferner eine über die ganze Speicherlänge des Speicherkörpers 5 ersteckende Lichtschranke 27. Die Speicherlänge beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist dabei geringer als die Länge des Speicherkörpers 5 selbst.On the cantilever 11 there is also a light barrier 27 which extends over the entire storage length of the storage body 5. The storage length in the exemplary embodiment is less than the length of the storage body 5 itself.

Die Lichtschranke 27 weist ein Gehäuse 28 auf. Dieses ist Träger eines Senders 29 und Empfängers 30 der Lichtschranke. Sowohl Sender 29 als auch Empfänger 30 erstrecken sich achsparallel zum Speicherkörper 5. Der Lichtschrankensender 29 weist reihenförmig nebeneinander angeordnete, moduliertes Licht aussendende, in ihrer Lichtstärke einstellbare Leuchtdioden 31 auf. Jeder Leuchtdiode 31 ist ein eigener Sensor 32 des Lichtschranken-Empfängers 30 zugeordnet.The light barrier 27 has a housing 28. This is the carrier of a transmitter 29 and receiver 30 of the light barrier. Both the transmitter 29 and the receiver 30 extend axially parallel to the storage body 5. The light barrier transmitter 29 has light-emitting diodes 31 which are arranged in rows next to one another and emit modulated light which can be adjusted in terms of their light intensity. Each light-emitting diode 31 is assigned its own sensor 32 of the light barrier receiver 30.

In Gegenüberlage zur Lichtschranke 27 ist am Speicherkörper 5 ein Tragstück 34 vorgesehen. Letzteres ist als Bogenstück gestaltet und besteht aus zwei konzentrisch zueinander liegenden, Lichtleiterfasern 35 zwischen sich aufnehmenden Platinen 36 und 37. Als Material für die Platinen 36, 37 kann bspw. Aluminium dienen. Die Lichtleiterfasern 35 sind derart angeordnet, daß ihre reihenförmig nebeneinander liegenden Stirnflächen 35', 35" zur Speicherkörper-Mantelfläche freiliegen. Jeweils die eine Stirnfläche 35' jeder Lichtfeiterfaser 35 ist dem Lichtschrankensender 29 und die andere Stirnfläche 35" in Umfangsrichtung des Speicherkörpers 5 versetzt dem Lichtschrankenempfänger 30 zugekehrt. Die Endabschnitte des Bogenstücks sind dabei in Schlitze 18' zweier benachbarter Stäbe 18 eingelassen derart, daß die Stirnflächen 35', 35" mit der Mantelfläche der Stäbe 18 abschließen. Dementsprechend verlagern sich mit einer Verstellung der Stäbe auch die Stirnflächen 35', 35" der Lichtleiterfasern 35.In opposition to the light barrier 27, a support piece 34 is provided on the storage body 5. The latter is designed as a curved piece and consists of two optical fibers 35 lying concentrically to one another between receiving boards 36 and 37. As material for the boards 36, 37 can serve, for example, aluminum. The light guide fibers 35 are arranged in such a way that their end faces 35 ', 35 "lying next to one another in rows are exposed to the surface of the storage body. One end face 35' of each optical fiber 35 is offset from the light barrier transmitter 29 and the other end face 35" in the circumferential direction of the storage body 5 Photoelectric switch receiver 30 facing. The end sections of the curved piece are embedded in slots 18 'of two adjacent rods 18 in such a way that the end faces 35', 35 "end with the lateral surface of the rods 18. Accordingly, the end faces 35 ', 35" of the rods are displaced when the rods are adjusted Optical fibers 35.

Wird der Faden F auf den Speicherkörper 5 gebracht und die Liefervorrichtung eingeschaltet, so ist vorerst die vom Lichtschrankenempfänger 30 gemessene Lichtstärke relativ groß, so daß der Drehantrieb mit erhöhter Drehzahl arbeitet. Mit zunehmender Fadenvorratsmenge V nimmt die vom Lichtschrankenempfänger 30 gemessene Lichtintensität ab einhergehend mit einer Verringerung der Drehzahl des Drehantriebes. Durch den ständigen Fadenabzug vergrößert sich jedoch wiederum die Lichtstärke mit erneuter Drehzahlerhöhung des Fadenösenträgers 3. Es braucht daher nicht der Drehantrieb vollständig stillgesetzt zu werden. Zu Fadenbruch führende Spannungsspitzen werden dadurch vermieden.If the thread F is brought onto the storage body 5 and the delivery device is switched on, the light intensity measured by the light barrier receiver 30 is initially relatively large, so that the rotary drive operates at an increased speed. As the thread supply quantity V increases, the light intensity measured by the light barrier receiver 30 decreases along with a reduction in the rotational speed of the rotary drive. Due to the constant thread draw-off, however, the light intensity increases again with a renewed increase in the speed of the thread eyelet carrier 3. It is therefore not necessary to stop the rotary drive completely. This prevents tension peaks that lead to thread breakage.

Wird die Lichtintensität des Lichtschrankensenders 29 erhöht, so verlagert sich einhergehend die Lichtansprechschwelle. Hierdurch findet eine Erhöhung der Drehzahl statt verbunden mit einer Zunahme des Fadenvorrates auf dem Speicherkörper.If the light intensity of the light barrier transmitter 29 is increased, the light response threshold is shifted along with it. This results in an increase in the speed associated with an increase in the thread supply on the storage body.

Bei Einsatz eines drehenden Speicherkörpers wären dann mehrere solcher Bogenstücke in Umfangsrichtung des Speicherkörpers hintereinanderliegend anzuordnen. Der Abstand zueinander ist dann kleiner zu halten als der dem Lichtschrankensender und -empfänger zukommende Öffnungskegel. Somit befindet sich in jeder Drehstellung des Speicherkörpers die Lichtschranke in funktionsbereiter Stellung. Auch ist eine Lichtschranke einsetzbar, die sich nicht über die ganze Speicherlänge zu erstrecken braucht. Die Lichtschranke ist dann verstellbar zum Speicherkörper auszugestalten. In einem solchen Fall arbeitet die Liefervorrichtung nach dem Start/Stop-Prinzip.When using a rotating storage body, several such arc pieces would then have to be arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction of the storage body. The distance from each other is then to be kept smaller than the opening cone coming to the light barrier transmitter and receiver. The light barrier is thus in a ready-to-operate position in every rotational position of the storage body. A light barrier can also be used, which does not have to extend over the entire length of the memory. The light barrier can then be designed to be adjustable relative to the storage body. In such a case, the delivery device works according to the start / stop principle.

Alle in der Beschreibung erwähnten und in der Zeichnung dargestellten neuen Merkmale sind erfindungswesentlich, auch soweit sie in den Ansprüchen nicht ausdrücklich beansprucht sind.All the new features mentioned in the description and shown in the drawing are essential to the invention, even if they are not expressly claimed in the claims.
