Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for spinning on an open-end spinning device with a sliver feed device and an opening roller arranged in a housing, from which the fibers are fed in an air flow generated by the spinning negative pressure through a feed channel to a fiber collecting surface and in which a thread end is spun onto the spinning device Fiber collection surface is returned, from which the previously returned thread is then pulled off again with continuous incorporation of fibers, the feed device being switched on to remove the fibers unsuitable for piecing, and the fiber stream being fed via a feed channel mouth to a suction device arranged behind the feed channel mouth in the opening roller housing and only then at the beginning of the actual piecing process, the fiber stream is fed to the fiber collecting surface, and a device for carrying out this method.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that for the introduction of the thread end into the spinning device the spinning vacuum is effective, that the thread end is only inserted into the spinning device to such an extent that it does not touch the fiber collecting surface, and that the spinning vacuum is then switched off is while the suction arranged in the opening roller housing is effective, so that when the feed device is switched on, the fiber stream is led over the feed channel mouth and sucked off until the end of the thread is returned to the fiber collecting surface at the start of the actual piecing process, this suction is switched off again and the spinning vacuum is switched on again , so that the fiber stream is fed to the fiber collecting surface. Because the spinning vacuum initially remains switched on, the thread end is certainly stretched and inserted into the thread take-off tube and brought into the ready position.
  • the spinning vacuum is advantageously switched off and on again between a suction air source and the fiber collecting surface.
  • the procedure is such that, in order to remove the fibers that are undesirable for spinning, the fiber stream is first led over the mouth of the feed channel, that the fiber stream is then briefly fed to the fiber collecting surface, then again led over the mouth of the feed channel, and only then is fed back to the fiber collecting surface after the thread end has reached the fiber collecting surface and the thread has started to be drawn off.
  • opening roller is followed by a fiber transport roller
  • a negative pressure outside the fiber transport path relative to the periphery of a fiber transport roller connected downstream of the opening roller is brought into effect to remove the fibers that are undesirable for spinning.
  • an opening roller housing with an opening roller, a fiber collecting surface rotating in a housing, a feed channel leading from the opening roller housing to the fiber collecting surface, a vacuum source for generating the vacuum underpressure and a suction opening in the peripheral wall of the opening roller housing a switching device between the vacuum source and the fiber collecting surface for switching the spinning vacuum on and off and a switching device for switching the vacuum on and off are provided at the suction opening.
  • a thread return device for returning the thread end to a standby position within the thread take-off tube, a discharge device for releasing the thread end for its return delivery to the fiber collecting surface and a control device for controlling the piecing process and of the switching devices provided.
  • the switching devices are expediently designed as part of a switching device by means of which the negative pressure source can alternately be connected to the fiber collecting surface as spinning negative pressure or to the suction opening for suctioning off the fibers.
  • the switching device according to the invention has two control bores, one of which can be brought into alignment with a first vacuum line to the fiber collecting surface and the other can be brought into alignment with the second vacuum line to the suction opening.
  • the stationary edges as well as the movable edges of the switching device that can be brought into alignment with them are designed as cutting devices.
  • the switching of the vacuum ratios can in principle be carried out in any customary manner, for example with the aid of electromechanical or hydro- or pneumo-mechanical means.
  • the switchover is carried out mechanically, the switchover device being actuated in one direction of movement by a control drive, while a spring element is provided for the resetting.
  • a maintenance trolley which can optionally be delivered to any number of spinning positions, then according to the invention a second vacuum source is provided on this maintenance trolley, the switching device being used to alternately switch on the vacuum source to generate the spinning vacuum and the vacuum source to remove the fibers which are undesirable for piecing .
  • the switching device can advantageously be controlled by the connecting movement of a suction air line emanating from the maintenance vehicle to the switching device and / or by the negative pressure in this suction line.
  • the device for controlling the vacuum can be different, e.g. be designed as a fan controllable from the maintenance device; however, it advantageously contains a valve, in particular a check valve.
  • the suction opening can be arranged in the peripheral wall surrounding the opening roller instead of in the peripheral wall surrounding the opening roller.
  • the present invention makes it possible, with the aid of a simple device, to control the fiber feed into the spinning chamber in such a way that only perfect fibers enter the spinning chamber for piecing, since all control and switching devices for the fiber stream outside the critical fiber transport path between the opening roller and the fiber collecting surface are arranged so that an effective deflection of the fiber flow past the fiber collecting surface into a suction for piecing is achieved without affecting the subsequent spinning process.
  • the invention even enables quantitative control of the fiber flow, so that not only the piecing takes place, but also the appearance of the piecing is improved to a considerable extent without additional devices for the controlled drive of the feed device being required for this.

  • the switching device 64 assumes its spinning position, in which, via the first vacuum line 50, the one generated by the vacuum source 5 Spinning vacuum is present on the housing 31 and to a reduced extent on the mouth 130 and the connection of the second vacuum line 51 to the vacuum source 5 is interrupted.
  • the spinning process is interrupted in a known manner via a thread monitor, not shown, and the spinning station is switched off.

  • the correspondingly configured switching device (compare 64, 6 or 8) connects the pipeline 153 to the atmosphere or the compressed air source, while the suction opening 52 from the vacuum source 5 is separated and a vacuum is applied to the friction rollers 34 via the vacuum line 50.
  • the switching rollers separate the friction rollers 34 from the vacuum source 5 and the suction opening 52 following the fiber discharge opening 160 via the vacuum line 51 to the Vacuum source 5 connected.
  • the pipeline 153 is simultaneously connected to the vacuum line 51 mentioned. In this way, whenever the suction opening 52 is under vacuum, the sector II of this roller 15 is also under vacuum.
  • FIG. 5 A further modification of the device for performing the described method is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the vacuum line 51 ends in a switching device 512 designed as a check valve, with the aid of which the vacuum in the vacuum line 51 can be controlled.
  • the check valve is located in the version shown in a chamber 513, which in turn is arranged at the end of the vacuum line 51, which faces the maintenance carriage 70 which can be moved along the spinning machine 36.
  • An axial guide 514 for the valve cone 515 is located centrally in the chamber 513.
  • the valve cone 515 is acted upon by a spring element 516 which is supported at its other end on spokes 517, with the aid of which the guide 514 is rigid with the peripheral wall of the chamber 513 connected is.
  • the chamber 513 On its side facing the maintenance carriage 70, the chamber 513 has an opening 519 which is surrounded by a valve seat 518 and which can be closed or opened by the valve cone 515.
  • a telescopic suction air line 74 extends in the direction of the spinning machine 36.
  • the suction air line 74 is assigned a drive device 75, through which the mouth 740 of the suction air line 74 is brought into a sealing arrangement against the wall of the chamber 513 facing the maintenance car 70 or from this can be withdrawn.
  • a pin 742 is held with the aid of spokes 741, which axially projects beyond the mouth 740 in the direction of the spinning machine 36 and, when the mouth 740 abuts the chamber 513, holds the valve cone 515 at a distance from its valve seat 518 and thus the valve opens.
  • the fiber feed into the feed channel 13 is released, while the switching device 512 designed as a check valve assumes its closed position.
  • the fibers 47 thus pass through the mouth 130 of the feed channel 13 onto the fiber collecting surface 33 of the spinning rotor 30 or of the friction rollers 34, where they are bound into the end of the thread 4.
  • the spinning rotor 30 is stopped via a thread monitor (not shown) and the fiber feed to the opening roller 11 is prevented, the spinning vacuum in the spinning rotor 30 being maintained further.
  • the spinning rotor 30 After reaching the spinning position concerned, the spinning rotor 30 is cleaned in a known manner by control from the maintenance carriage 70, and the thread end is prepared so that it has a favorable piecing shape. The spinning rotor 30 is then released again. This runs up. While the rotor is ramping up or after the rotor operating speed has been reached, the thread end is returned in a customary manner, forming a thread reserve, to a standby position in the thread take-off tube 32 (FIG. 1), where the negative pressure applied to the housing 31 is still effective.
  • the fibers 47 which were previously damaged by the running opening roller 11 when the feed device 2 is shut off, are removed so that they do not get into the spinning rotor.
  • the connecting movement of the suction air line 74 emanating from the vacuum source 73 to the switching device 512 switches it over, so that the vacuum generated in the vacuum source 73 is now present at the suction opening 52.
  • the fibers 47 fed to the opening roller 11 after switching on the feed device 2 are thus conveyed over the mouth 130 to the suction opening 52 and from there via the vacuum line 51, the chamber 513 and the suction air line 74 to the vacuum source 73 of the service vehicle 70.
  • the fiber feed into the spinning rotor 30 is released again, where the fibers connect to the end of the thread that has now reached the spinning rotor 30 by releasing the thread reserve.
  • the thread 4 is then drawn off again from the spinning rotor 30 in a known manner with the aid of the take-off rollers 41, 42 and the bobbin 44 (FIG. 1), the fibers 47 newly arriving on the fiber collecting surface 33 being integrated.
  • the suction air stream acting in the suction opening 52 is meaningless. It no longer has any influence on fiber transport.
  • the negative pressure behind the mouth 130 ie. H. in the vacuum line 51, turned off.
  • the opening 519 is closed, so that air cannot flow through the opening 519 in either direction. Thus, no air that could otherwise interfere with the fiber transport and the spinning process gets into the opening roller housing 10.
  • the switching device can also be designed differently than shown.
  • it is designed as a slide valve, which is acted upon by a spring element in the closed position and can be brought into the release position by the connecting movement of the suction air nozzle 74 (FIG. 5) arranged on the maintenance car 70 to the vacuum line 51.
  • FIG. 6 Another embodiment of a switching device 86 is shown in FIG. 6.
  • a flap 860 is provided, which is articulated above the mouth 861 of the vacuum line 51 facing the maintenance car 70.
  • the mouth 861 forms a valve seat, which is inclined obliquely in such a way that the flap 860 seals against the valve seat due to its own weight.
  • the flap 860 is located together with its mouth 861 of the vacuum line 51 in a chamber 862, which is open on its side facing the maintenance car 70. From the maintenance carriage 70, the mouth 740 of the suction air line 74 can be sealingly brought into contact with the open side of the chamber 862, as is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 6.
  • the flap 860 assumes the position shown in full lines, the sealing abutment of the flap 860 on the Mouth 861 is supported by the negative pressure prevailing in the opening roller housing 10. If, after the mouth 740 of the suction air line 74 is applied to the chamber 862, negative pressure is applied to the suction air line 74, the flap 860 lifts off from the mouth 861 (dashed position 860 '), and the fiber stream can get into the suction air line 74.
  • a switching device 512 or 86 designed as a check valve for controlling the negative pressure in the negative pressure line 51 has been described above. However, it is also conceivable to provide a shut-off valve on the spinning machine 36 which is actuated from the maintenance carriage 70 and the vacuum line 51 with a vacuum source provided on the spinning machine 36 itself connects or not, which is independent of the vacuum source 5. It is also conceivable to actuate a switch from the maintenance carriage 70, via which a fan is switched on or off. Likewise, the suction air line 74 (FIG. 5) can also be connected via the maintenance carriage 70 to a vacuum source provided on the spinning machine 36.
