Definitions

  • This invention concerns a device suitable for the piecing-up of rovings of textile fibres.
  • the device is satisfactorily employed in piecing-up rovings on spinning machines and, in particular, on machines equipped with automatic devices to change rolls or packages or rovings being fed.
  • Such spinning machines can process roving of carded or combed yarns.
  • the heads or tails of the rovings are positioned on an aspiration grill and the fibres of the two ends of the rovings are intermingled by the aspiration action, the bonding and piecing-up of the rovings being thus created.
  • This cited embodiment obtains a splice which often possesses not enough strength, thus leading to breakage of the roving and interruption of the spinning process.
  • DE-A-3 247 687 discloses the piecing-up of two superimposed rovings by means two concurrent jets of air which intermingle the fibres of the two. rovings. This embodiment creates a weak bond between the rovings and a thickened zone, and this bond will be satisfactory only in cooperation with further processing by drawing and tearing machines but will not be satisfactory on spinning machines and even less satisfactory on spinning machines comprising an automatic change of the rolls of roving.
  • DE-A-3.004.721 discloses a splicer device for textile yarns working with air pressure.
  • This device consists of two twin turbulence chambers cooperating with intermediate mechanical clamping means.
  • the splicer device provides mechanical means for gripping the tail ends of the yarns and mechanical means for clamping together the textile yarns.
  • This system is excellent when applied to textile yarns but cannot be used to splice rovings owing to the dimensions and weakness, namely lack of consistency, of the rovings.
  • the present invention eliminates these shortcomings and enables a stronger and more stable splice of the rovings in the feed of the roving to be obtained, at the same time improving the application of automatic systems to change the rolls and/or packages of roving being fed to the spinning machine.
  • the invention therefore tends to make the operations of the spinning machine more reliable.
  • a grill device subjected to an aspiration action is subjected to the action of a nozzle fed with fluid under pressure that substantially acts tangentially with respect to the roving.
  • two nozzles are provided and fed with fluid under pressure, the fluid emitted by the nozzles acting in a rotary manner.
  • V-shaped conformation of the grill is advantageous for the invention since the ejector nozzles provide a tangentially stream of fluid to the opposed surfaces of the grill.
  • the device comprises more than two nozzles.
  • the invention therefore concerns a device for piecing-up the roving of textile fibres which are fed to spinning machines, the ends of the rovings to be pieced-up being positioned, by hand or automatically, superimposed on each other or side by side on the aspiration grill of the device.
  • the rovings are pieced-up by twisting together the end of the rovings being fed with the ends of the rovings, coming from a replacement roll or from full package; such twisting in conjunction with the intermingling of the fibres provides the piecing-up action of the rovings.
  • a perforated grill 10 of suitable dimensions is provided in cooperation with a conduit 16 subject to an aspiration action 13.
  • the diameter of the holes in the grill may range from 0.4 to 1.5 mm., but the present applicant has found that a diameter of 0.6-0.7 mm. of the holes is best.
  • the grill will advantageously have an elongated V-shaped conformation.
  • the angle "alpha” of the "V” may vary between 160° and 60°. The present applicant has found that an angle between 75° and 120° is the best.
  • two nozzles 11 and 12 respectively cooperate with the grill 10 and are fed by fluid under pressure 19 through conduits 17 and 18 respectively.
  • the fluid under pressure 19 may be fed at a temperature deemed most suitable and may contain treatment substances.
  • nozzles 11-12 deliver the fluid under pressure 19 to the grill 10 near the upper surface of the grill and in cooperation with the corresponding sloped, perforated surfaces 20-21.
  • the fluid 19 runs along the corresponding sloped surface and ascends, if the pressure is sufficient, the opposite surface, its action and rate of flow diminishing progressively owing to the aspiration action 13.
  • One single nozzle 11 or 12 may be provided instead of the two nozzles 11, 12.
  • a plurality of nozzles may alternatively be included and be arranged in a systematic manner on the grill 10; all of the nozzles may have the same capacity, or else the nozzles may have differentiated capacities.
  • the action of the nozzles may be simultaneous or partially overlapping or may take place at different times.
  • the pressure of the fluid 19 may be constant, pulsating or variable during the piecing-up operation on the grill 10.
  • the aspirating action 13, too may be constant or variable or pulsating or may be lacking during a part or the whole of the piecing-up operation on the grill 10.
  • the aspirating section 13 xay be restricted to a precise area of the grill 10, whereas the remaining area may undergo either a different aspiration action or no aspiration action at all.
  • the tail of the roving 14 being currently fed is stationary on the perforated grill 10 in relation to the grill and is kept adhering thereto by aerodynamic actions created by aspiration.
  • the head 15 of the new roving to be pieced-up is positioned by hand or automatically on the same grill 10 and, being drawn by aspiration, is superimposed on or positioned at the side of the previously positioned roving 14.
  • the jets of fluid 19 created by the nozzles 11, 12 provide the required actions, which in conjunction with the actions generated by aspiration 13 acting on the perforated grill 10 determine the forces which set in rotation the ends 14-15 of the rovings, thus causing the twisting of the ends 14-15 of the rovings and the intermingling of their fibres.
  • the nozzle or nozzles is/are fed from an outside source the pressure of which may be regulated as required.
  • Feed rollers located downstream of the grill 10 may be actuated or not during the action of the fluid so as to draw onto the grill 10 the tail of the roving being fed and therewith the splice which is being produced.
  • the feed rollers are not shown in the figures.
  • the final piecing-up takes place at the moment when the spindle applies the twist to the fibres, since the piecing-up carried out on the grill 10 is only a provisional splice, which however is enough to provide the roving with continuity.
  • suitable known means are provided to arrange the replacement of the exhausted roll with a full roll and the shearing of the previous roving 14 at a position immediately upstream of the grill 10 of the device so as to leave only a few millimetres of roving upstream of the first nozzle 11; in the same way the head of the new roving 15 has to extend by a few millimetres beyond the second nozzle 12. In this way the ends of the rovings 14,15 are twisted around each other in an adequate manner.
  • the perforated grill 10 may have a variable radius of its rounded union at its centre, the radius depending on the specific application.
  • the geometry of the union may be circular or curved.
  • the grill may be perforated with holes having various diameters; the distribution of the holes in the grill may be differentiated.
  • the nozzles to feed compressed air may be one, two or more in number and may be located in diverse positions; they may also lie tangentially with respect to the surfaces of the grill or at any angle thereto.
  • the dimensions of the grill may be varied to obtain the best piecing-up results in account of the roving in question and in account of the type of material of the fibres.
