Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a process and to a device for feeding pirns to the individual reeling points of a textile machine, e.g., an automatic coner machine, by using a tray conveyor means suitable for feeding a plurality of reeling points of various winding sectors prearranged to reel different threads; thus, the simultaneous processing of taking up of a plurality of thread batches along one single winding front becomes possible.
- The pirn, which is formed by a spinning frame, in particular a ring spinning frame, is subsequently unwound, and the thread is rewound on a rigid cone, to produce a cone having suitable shape and dimensions for the following processing steps, such as: knitting, loom feeding, warping, dyeing, or the like.
- An automatic coner machine prearranged for the rewinding operation shows a working front constituted by a considerable number of taking up stations positioned closely approached side-by-side to each other.
- The thread drawn from a full pirn in feeding step, and fed to a corresponding taking up unit is wound in cross-turns mode on a cone made revolve at a high speed by a drive drum, and during such transfer, possible faulty portions of the thread are removed.
- When all of the thread of the pirn has been wound on the cone, the subsequent pirn is fed again, and the end of the thread on the cone side, as well as the thread end on the side of sad new pirn are knotted to each other, to continue the taking up, so that a cone is formed, which is completely filled with threads coming from a large number of pirns filled with the same thread type.
- On such an automatic coning machine, the whole taking-up front normally winds one type of thread. Thus, in this case, only one type of pirn is used, and the pirns, belonging to one single thread batch, can be randomly red, without any need for establishing a whatsoever relationship between the taking-up units and the pirns to be fed to them. However, when different thread types are taken up by an individual taking up front of the individual automatic coning machine, specific threads have to be respectively fed to specific taking-up positions, without mixing the fed pirns.
- The purpose of the present invention is to cause the production to be easily adjusted, according to the need for a plurality of different batches of thread being simultaneously taken up, in order to be flexible as a function of the various market areas, and to meet all of the users' needs.
- In this case, coner machines are prepared, each taking up one or more thread types. This makes it possible the usage rate of the taking up units to be optimized, with said taking up units being advantageously grouped in sectors, whose extensions are related to the amounts, and to the characteristics of the individual thread batches which are simultaneously processed. It is advantageous as well to be able to operate by taking up two different thread types at the batch-end-change time.
- For example, for a long time, coner machines have been known in the art, which are equipped with a set of frontally predisposed storage units, a storage unit per each taking up station, to contain the pirns which must be processed. The filling of the storage units is carried out by an attending workman. In order to eliminate such a manual operation, arrangements have already become known, wherein the pirns are fed and charged to the storage units by means of a conveyor tape. From said storage units, the pirns are transferred to the unwinding stations. Conveyance arrangements are also known, wherein the pirns are received inside the trays fastened onto a conveyor belt which runs along a closed-loop path, along the whole working front.
- In such structural solutions, the working front of an individual automatic coner machine usually winds one thread type. Thus, in this case, only one type of pirn is fed to the individual coner machine, which can take up, on all of its winding positions, one type of pirn thread each time.
- In order to re-wind a plurality of pirn thread types, which are different in count, colour or composition, a plurality of coner machines have to be used, wherein each of said coner machines takes up one thread type, or, when on an individual coner machine a plurality of thread pirn types have to be wound, a different thread type will be taken up after the end of the taking up of a particular, previously fed thread type. In other words, said above described systems are not suitable for simultaneously supplying and feeding different types of threads, which are generally in the form of small-size batches, along an individual taking up front.
- On the other hand, it is also known, in some structural solutions, and, e.g., from published Japan patent application No. 143,565/83, to equip the automatic coner machine with conveyance routes which occupy a rather large surface area of the floor in the nearby of the coner machine. In such a structural solution, the conveyance routes extend on a floor surface area which is often larger than the surface area of the base of the same coner machine. Furthermore, such a solution is also disadvantageous from the view point of the increase in complexity of the base structure which becomes, due to its location at the floor lever, an area wherein the building up occurs of the dust, large amounts of which are always present in a textile factory.
- The build-up of dust causes the damaging to start of the drive mechanisms moving the pirn-holder plates and of the various running components of the machinery, due to the effect of an excess of dirt which is generated by the continuous building-up of said dust. All the above is furthermore a factor which considerably increases the contamination of the threads of the pirns, which are moved without being protected by any protecting trays.
- On considering the above, as well as analogous drawbacks and disadvantes affecting the presently applied solutions known from the prior art, the present invention aimed at the purpose of providing a solution capable of overcoming such drawbacks.
- A purpose of the present invention is to provide a device wherein an individual automatic coner machine can simultaneously take up a plurality of different thread types belonging to batches different in count, colour and composition. More particularly, the present invention consists in a conveyor device equipped with conveyor trays, which are different from one another in the position on them of a witness element, having a lever shape, or a pin shape, or similar shapes, which certifies the type of thread taken up on the pirn carried by the tray. Each tray houses the individual pirn coming from the preparation station. Said preparation station makes it possible to search for, extract and position, in the desired form, the end of the thread contained on the pirns. These latter, after being prepared for undergoing the unwinding, are transferred into their respective housing trays, which are conveyed, in continuous, along the working front, to the taking-up points. Incidentally, it is known in the art to prepare the thread end, e.g., on the top of the pirn tube, or inside the hole of the tube of the same pirn; the device, or the station, for the timed search for the end of the thread of the pirns, in order to prepare them for the subsequent unwinding is known as well, and also known are the lever systems for transferring from said pirn end search station to one of the various devices and processes for the conveyance of the pirns along the taking-up front for the automatic feed of the coner machine.
- The device of the invention in no way alters the operating system and the equipment pieces composing the automatic coner machine, so that the traditional winding machine will be not described, but only reference to those parts thereof, which concern and clarify the use of the present invention, will be made, and precisely reference will be made to the continuous belt or chain conveyor system, on which the trays housing the pirns are fastened, as well as to the chutes along which said pirns move from up downwards by gravity, in order to prepare them on their corresponding receiving pins.
- Furthermore, the station for the search for, and the charging, of the pirns to be unwound, will not be described: it is in fact already per se known in many structural forms, and a detailed description thereof is not necessary, all the more that it is not an object of the present invention. To the end of the present invention, it is important that such station for pirn searching for, and charging should be equipped with lever systems, also already known from the prior art, to carry out the transfer of the prepared pirns into the trays of the conveyor system which makes it possible them to be automatically fed to the taking up points.
- A valuable characteristic of the device of the present invention is its suitability for being applied both on the working fronts of the already existing machines, and on the working fronts of the machines under way of assemblage.
- Futhermore, in no way operators attending the device, which operates in a completely automatic way, are necessary.
- Another valuable characteristic of the present device is its operating way, which is prevailingly mechanical, in that, besides the drive unit driving the conveyor belt or chain, no electrical, electromechanical or electronic components enslaved to the device exist.

- The containers inside which the pirns of A type, of B type or of C type are stored in bulk, feed the automatic charging devices suitable for collecting and conveying the spinning pirns of A type, or of B type, or of C type.
- At the upper end of the
belt conveyor 14, the individually conveyed pirns are collected by thebelt conveyor 10 which transfers said pirns to the station 8, suitable for orienting the pirn and finding out the end of the thread. - In a similar way, the automatic charging device for the C type of spools, will be equipped with advantageously prearranged conveyor belts, to convey said pirns to the station 8.
- For the sake of simpleness in the drawing, said belt conveyors are not shown. The pirns of A type, coming from the
conveyor belt 12 are directly transferred to the station 8 suitable for orienting the pirns and finding out the end of the thread on thepirns 16. - During the taking-up operation of the operative winding front of the
automatic coner machine 1, theautomatic charging devices respective pirns suitable conveyance trays 2. - The charging on the station 8 of a spinning pirn of A type, or of B type, or of C type takes place following a request signal coming from a taking up
sector pirn 16, memorizes the type of pirn, and the position wherein said pirn is charged, such that, moment by moment, the operation of the same station, which is also a transfer device, is determined in its progressing by the knowledge of the location of the various pirn types it conveys. - Once that it has found out the end of the thread of the
pirn 16, the station 8 predisposes it and charges it, by a technique known in the prior art, into theproper conveyance tray 2 and simultaneously, by detecting and memorizing the type of pirn, A or B or C, which it is charging, predisposes the operative block of thediscriminator lever 47 in the A or B or C position, which witnesses the type of thread wound on the conveyed pirn. The tray-holder conveyor belt 26 continuously transfers the spinningpirns 16 along the winding front of the automatic coner machine. - The automatic coner machine is subdivided into winding
sectors movable striker element 72 A or 72B or 72C, located in height (see Figure 2) in accordance with the type of pirn to be drawn 16A or 16B or 16C. - Normally, the
mechanical striker element 72 is in its rearwards-moved position. When a winding unit ends the unwinding of a spinningpirn 16, the pirn-holder plate 28 revolves through one step, putting under unwinding the pirn previously charged in reserve position on areceiver pin 30, and makes themechanical striker element 72A or 72B or 72C come out, with a substantially horizontal shifting, to reach its position of mechanical interference with the correspondingrelease lever 52 in A or B or C position. - Said
release lever 52, running together with the conveyance tray housing thepirn 16, yields by rotating during the interference step, around the central hinge of thediscriminator lever 68, simultaneously causing the shifting, from its locking position, of thewing 50 which in its turn releases themovable bottom plate 36 of theconveyance tray 2. The spinningpirn 16, of the type as determined by the position of the above-said interference elements, by being free from itsbottom support 36, starts sliding by gravity along therigid chute 34, running along the direction indicated by thearrow 35, to come to slip, after running along the self-centeringguide chute 32, on thereceiver pin 30. Said spinningpirn 16 goes to constitute the reserve in the pirn-holder plate 28. Themechanical striker element 72 of the taking up unit is made re-enter through a substantially horizontal shifting by using means known from the prior art, and therelease lever 52 places itself, or remains placed, in a position of non-interference with possiblesubsequent striker elements 72A or 72B or 72C, placed in an interference position by the taking-up units which require a spinningpirn 16. The conveyance tray returns empty back to the station 8 wherein the search for the pirn thread end is carried out. - Along the path length preceding the area wherein the spinning
pirns 16 are charged to theconveyance trays 2, themovable bottom plate 36 of the tray comes back to its closed position, so driven by suitable driving means, not shown in the Figures, because they are per se known. The operative block of thediscriminator lever 47 during the step of pirn charging to the tray, by rotatably actuating thediscriminator element 56 bearing, at its end, the contact roller 64, will cause therelease lever 52 to assume an A or B or C position, corresponding to the type of pirn supplied to its own tray. The rotation of thediscrimnator element 56 around thehinge 66 will position thesphere 58 inside a hollow 62A or 62B or 62C, with a stable and safe position of thediscriminator element 56 and of therelease lever 52 during their movement being obtained thanks to the urging by thespring 60. Said spinning pirn, delivered to, and housed inside, theconveyance tray 2, runs along the winding front, ready to be conveyed on areceiver pin 30, to feed a pirn-holder plate 28 of a whatever winding unit belonging to a taking upsector automatic coner machine 1 is subdivided. - In case from the
conveyance trays 2 the pirn is not drawn, when this latter runs before the station 8, suitable optical detecting means or sensors, already known from the prior art, provided in the area which precedes the area concerned by the pirn charging operation, recognize the presence of thepirn 16 in theconveyance tray 2, and inhibit the actuation of the cycle of spool charging to the above saidtray 2. The charging cycle will be actuated in correspondence of the passage of a subsequentempty tray 2 running before the pirn preparation station 8. - One should observe that although the invention has been disclosed by referring to the practical embodiment wherein the automatic coner machine is subdivided into three winding sectors, i.e., the A, B, C sectors, the number of such winding sectors can anyway be increased to four or more, by positioning the discriminator and detector elements in a plurality of positions, subtantially a position per each individual winding sector.
- A preferred solution has been herein disclosed with some variants thereof, but other solutions are anyway possible.
- Thus, positions of the operative lever systems can be varied; a tray-holder conveyor belt can be envisaged, which is enabled in its running function at each drawing signal, and hence provided with an intermittent motion; shapes and dimensions of the discriminator element can be varied, together with the release lever and with the mechanical striker element made integral, in a prearranged position, with the structure of the taking up unit. These and still further variants are therefore possible within the scope of the invention.
