Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring cops or bobbins of thread or the like from a bobbin container to a bobbin holder of a bobbin winder.
  • Spooling machines have a whole series of spool holders arranged side by side with preferably several, for example five or six, spool holders. In this you have to insert the bobbins or cops to be rewound in the winding machine. It is then unwound one after the other, with defects or similar defects being removed from its yarn and, after the “refinement” associated therewith, the yarn is wound up again to a new bobbin, in particular cheese.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which an automatic loading of all bobbin receptacles of the winding machine is possible, so that after emptying a bobbin, the next bobbin can be transferred in a very short time.
  • the device is designed according to the preamble of claim 1 in accordance with the characterizing part of this claim.
  • a box slide not shown, assigned to the lower end of the coil container, a predetermined number of coils in the form of a row or position of coils are transferred to the two blocking slide units after appropriate actuation of the box slide, each of which supports one end of all the coils of this row of coils.
  • the coils are preferably already geoidnet in the bobbin case, so that in the case of conical bobbin sleeves, one of the locking slide units is assigned all thicker and the other all thinner bobbin sleeves.
  • each cross conveyor transports them in an approximately horizontal direction to the at the discharge end of the stand-up slide or the like. They fall, preferably due to their own weight, from the cross conveyor onto the stand-up slide, the longitudinal axis of which is inclined to the transverse feed plane. Because of this, the transfer to the set-up slide also involves a certain set-up or uprighting of the sliding cops.
  • the installation slide forms an angle with the horizontal that deviates not insignificantly from 90 °, the cops that slide off do not assume a vertical, but an oblique position. Because the drop end of the stand-up slide can be closed, the cop who has slid down can only leave the slide when the drop end is released. This is the case at the earliest when the delivery end is located above a bobbin holder of the winding machine and this bobbin holder is empty. The whole movements are coordinated in a sensible way, for example to ensure that another cop only gets into the chute when it has been cleared. In the same way, the locking slide valve units must first be completely emptied before a new row of bobbins can be passed from the bobbin case.
  • the device of the embodiment is symmetrical to the vertical plane 1 (FIGS. 1 and 4).
  • a bobbin container 2 indicated in FIG. 2 there are a large number of bobbins wound with yarn or the like, so-called copse 3.
  • copse 3 With the aid of this device, they are to be transferred to the bobbin holder 4, only indicated, of a bobbin winder, along the dishwasher 5 a whole series of such coil holders with several, in particular circularly arranged, coil holders 6 are located. If a coil is on one of these coils took 6 is passed, so you turn the preferably rotatable coil holder about an axis 7 until the next coil holder has taken its place.
  • the bobbins in the bobbin case 2 must already be inserted in an orderly manner.
  • the device is equipped with running wheels, sliding shoes or the like, not shown, by means of which it can be displaced along the winding machine perpendicular to the image plane of FIG. 2.
  • a suitable device ensures that it is assigned to each coil holder of the machine in a precisely predetermined position.
  • a predetermined number of cops 3 fall from the bobbin case onto the upper side of locking slide units 13 and 14.
  • these locking slide units After actuation of these locking slide units, which is described in more detail below, they arrive at at least one, but in the exemplary embodiment two, arranged in an extension of one another Cross conveyor 11, 12 whose conveying direction runs in the direction of arrows 16 and 17.
  • a set-up chute 10 From the discharge end 18 of each cross conveyor there is a set-up chute 10, which in the exemplary embodiment runs at an angle of approximately 45 °.
  • its discharge end 15 can each be assigned to a coil holder 4 or coil holder 6.
  • this dispensing end 15 can be adjusted at least in the sense of the double arrow 19 with the aid of a holding and adjusting device 20.
  • Each blocking slide unit 13, 14 has a slide 21, 22 which is approximately U-shaped in cross section and extends parallel to the bearing surface 23 of the conveying elements 24 of the cross conveyors 11, 12.
  • the two U-legs run, as can be seen particularly well in FIG. 2 of the drawing, approximately parallel to the bearing surface 23, the free leg ends of the two slides 21 and 22 pointing towards one another.
  • the upper U-legs of the slider 21 and 22 are provided with recesses 25 and the lower legs with recesses 26, so that side by side spaced upper support tongues 27 and lower support tongues 28 are formed (FIGS. 1 and 4).
  • the recesses are made so that the lower support tongues are each arranged in a gap to the upper and vice versa (Fig. 1).
  • the upper support tongues 27 are each located below guides 29, which are each formed by a pair of blocks 30, 31. Further pairs of blocks 32, 33 each form lower guides 34.
  • the lower support tongues 28 are located below their blocks 32 and 33 due to the offset arrangement relative to the upper support tongues 27.
  • a symbolically drawn bar 37 or the like separates the free space above the conveyor element 24 from that above the Setup slide 10 from.
  • the cops on the outer edge in each case can drop past the discharge end 18 of the cross conveyor 11 or 12 directly onto the installation slide. Only when this cops is delivered to a coil housing 6, the associated transverse conveyor 11 or 12 is driven by a clock in the direction of arrow 16, so that the next C ops can fall on the Aufstellrisone.
  • the device is designed as a double device and is symmetrical to the vertical plane 1.
  • the blocking slide units 13 and 14 are divided into two blocking slide unit halves located to the left and right of the vertical plane 1.
  • each locking slide half or pair of locking slide halves can be actuated individually, so that the copse of the left locking slide unit halves can be transferred to their cross conveyor 11 independently of those of the right locking slide unit halves and vice versa.
  • the special sense of this training is that, as already mentioned, this device first moves along the winding machine, for example from the left to the right machine end and then returns again from the right to the left end.
  • the cops are handed over, for example via the left installation slide 10 and in the other “direction of travel” via the right installation slide, not shown.
  • These types of cops can differ in terms of cops length, cops diameter and yarn. For this reason, it is particularly useful that the width 38 of the blocks 30 to 33 can be changed in a manner not shown, which of course leads to a widening or narrowing of the guides 29 and 34.
  • the intermediate space 39 between each cross conveyor 11 and 12 and the half of the blocking slide units 13 and 14 located above it can be monitored in each case by means of a monitoring device 40, 41, in particular an optical one consisting of a light source and a reflector.
  • a second, in particular likewise optical monitoring device 42, 43 is used to monitor the erection chute 10. With the aid of these monitoring devices, the presence of Copsen is checked. If none of the monitoring devices can detect a cop, the drive of the relevant pair of slides 21, 22 or pair of slider halves is released. Otherwise, the two slides or slider halves of the two blocking slide units 13, 14 or blocking slider unit halves are coupled in terms of movement or can be driven synchronously.
  • center of gravity lever 45 In the range of motion of the cops 3 leaving the discharge end 18 of the cross conveyor 11 or 12 and falling onto the erection chute 10, more precisely in the range of motion of the front cops end 44 when slipping, there is a so-called center of gravity lever 45. It is a double-armed lever with preferably angled shape Shape that is tiltable about an axis 46. Its free end protruding over the slide forms an impact member 47 and on its other lever arm on the right in FIG. 1 there is an adjustment weight 48 which can be adjusted in its longitudinal direction. For example, by screwing on or unscrewing, this center of gravity lever can be adjusted to different cops weights. The impact member 47 brakes the end of the cop 44 slightly, so that the cop does not hit the mounting slide 10 as strongly.
  • a controllable stop lever 49 is located in the area of the discharge end 15 of the erection chute 10. It can be rotated about an axis 52 in the sense of the double arrow 51 with the aid of an electromagnet, in particular a rotary magnet 50.
  • a lever 53 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the axis of rotation 55 of the rotary magnet 50.
  • the lever 53 is articulated to a further lever 54 via a joint 56, both of which form a knee joint.
  • the lever 54 is adjustable in length. In the starting position, that is, in the rest position of the magnet, the knee joint is stretched, ie the articulation points 55, 56 and 57 lie on a straight line. This leads to good fall damping.
  • the stop lever 49 consists of impact-absorbing material, in particular of a plastic with sufficient elasticity, but also strength and low wear.
  • a controllable ejector lever 60 can be placed on the upper cop end 61 of the cops 3 supported on the stop lever 49. It is only brought into the working position when the lower cop end 44 abuts the supporting end 59 of the stop lever.
  • the ejector lever 60 is pivoted synchronously with the stop lever 49 in the same direction. It supports and accelerates the pushing of the cops 3 out of the erection chute 10.
  • the axis of rotation of the ejector lever 60 is designated by 62.
  • a plate-shaped, deflectable damping element 63 projects into the range of movement of the latter. Its end 64 facing the slide 10 is designed as a centering element for the arriving cop. It has an arched, angled, trapezoidal or similar cutout.
  • a geared motor 65 drives a first toothed belt pulley 66, which via a toothed belt 67 a second toothed belt pulley 68 turns.
  • the latter sits on the drive shaft 69 for the associated e n halves of the locking slide units 13 and 14.
  • These blocking slide unit by means of two halves are also on the drive shaft 69 rotatably seated eccentric 70 and driven 71st They engage in corresponding slots 87 in the blocking slide unit halves. In this way, it is possible to push the locking slide unit halves forwards and backwards perpendicularly to the image plane of FIG. 3 without reversing the direction of rotation of the geared motor 65.
  • rollers or sliders 72 and 73 are used for a respective guide plate 74.
  • An intermediate wall 75 assigned to the left end of the drive shaft 69 in FIG. 3 can be set and locked in the direction of the double arrow 76. If it is moved to the left, starting from the position shown in FIG. 3, this also results in a displacement of the two halves of the blocking slide unit 13 in the same sense. This increases the distance between the relevant upper and lower support to the opposite, so that longer cops can now be placed. To do this, however, it is necessary that the drive shaft 69 can be telescopically extended. This is ensured by a polygon, in particular a square 77, of the short end of the drive shaft 69 on the left in FIG. 3, which positively engages in a receptacle 88 at the left end of the right long part of the drive shaft 69.
  • the drive shaft 69 performs a 360 ° rotation or two short successive 18O ° - Spins through. During the first 180 ° rotation, the upper guides 29 are released and the lower guides are closed, while with the second 180 ° rotation the locking slide units or their halves are pushed back into the starting position. These full or two half turns are achieved with the aid of a switching cam 78 which is seated on the drive shaft 69 and which interacts with a permanently installed switch 79. The speed of movement of the slide can be adjusted accordingly by changing the speed of the first toothed belt pulley 66, the size of the cops and the weight of the cops.
  • Each conveyor element of the cross conveyor 11 or 12 is also driven by means of a geared motor 80 each. Its drive shaft carries a toothed belt pulley 81 which transmits the torque to a further toothed belt pulley 83 via a toothed belt 82. If necessary, a clutch 84 can also be connected between the drive shaft of the motor and the first toothed belt pulley 81.
  • the second toothed belt pulley 83 is arranged coaxially with a front deflecting roller 85 or the like for the conveying element 24. A rear deflecting roller or the like is designated by 86.
