Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Detektieren von Nissen in Karden- oder Streckenbändern. In diesen Bändern findet man neben Verunreinigungen durch Fremdkörper auch sog. Nissen. Dies sind Faserverschlingungen und -verknotungen unterschiedlicher Größe. Die Ursachen ihrer Entstehung sind vielfältig. Sie können u.A. auch in einer ungeeigneten, defekten oder abgenutzten Garnitur der Karde liegen. Eine überwachung der Häufigkeit der Nissen im Kardenband erlaubt damit sowohl Rückschlüsse auf das Rohmaterial als auch auf den Zustand der Garnitur. Insbesondere kann der Zeitpunkt des Nachschleifens der Garnitur bestimmt werden.The invention relates to a device for detecting nits in carding or draw frame bands. In addition to contamination from foreign bodies, these tapes also contain so-called nits. These are fiber entanglements and knots of different sizes. The causes of their emergence are diverse. You can also lie in an unsuitable, defective or worn card clothing. Monitoring the frequency of the nits in the card sliver allows both conclusions to be drawn about the raw material and the condition of the clothing. In particular, the time of regrinding the set can be determined.
Bisher wurde die Nissenzahl so bestimmt, daß ein Stück Kardenband entnommen und in einem Streckwerk auseinandergezogen wurde. Danach konnten mittels einer Lupe die in der Durchsicht als dunklere Stellen erscheinenden Nissen bzw. Verunreinigungen visuell bzw. manuell gezählt werden. Dabei unterliegt die Beurteilung der Proben einem gewissen Ermessen der Beurteilungsperson. Es besteht also kein allgemeingültiger Maßstab.So far, the number of nits has been determined so that a piece of card sliver has been removed and pulled apart in a drafting system. Afterwards, the nits or impurities that appeared in the view as darker areas could be counted visually or manually using a magnifying glass. The assessment of the samples is subject to a certain discretion of the assessor. So there is no general standard.
Es ist auch eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen worden, die die Nissen bereits im Vlies der Karde erkennen kann. Dies hat u.A. den Vorteil, daß es kontinuierlich erfolgen kann und keine Unterbrechung zur Bandentnahme erforderlich ist. Die konstruktiven Besonderheiten einer Karde bzw. der unzu gängliche Anbringungsort verunmöglichen es aber, diese Vorrichtung von Karde zu Karde zu tranferieren. Die Einheit muß vielmehr fest an einer Karde montiert sein und bleiben. Bei der Herstellung oder Installation neuer Karden ist dies von der Kostenseite kein Problem. Anders ist die Situation, wenn eine Putzerei mit einigen -zig alten Karden nachzurüsten ist. Hier ist der Aufwand, auch in Relation zum Wert der alten Karden nicht vertretbar.A device has also been proposed which can already recognize the nits in the fleece of the card. This has the advantage, among other things, that it can take place continuously and no interruption is required to remove the tape. The special design features of a card or the unzu Common mounting locations make it impossible to transfer this device from card to card. The unit must rather be and remain firmly attached to a card. This is not a problem from the cost side when producing or installing new cards. The situation is different when a blow room has to be retrofitted with a few tens of old cards. The effort here, even in relation to the value of the old cards, is not justifiable.
Es besteht daher ein Bedarf an einer objektiv bewertenden Einrichtung, die zwar den Nachteil der diskontinuierlichen Messung aufweist, dafür aber nur einmal in einer Putzerei erforderlich ist.There is therefore a need for an objectively evaluating device which has the disadvantage of discontinuous measurement, but is only required once in a blow room.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist durch Automatisierung der oben beschriebenen Anordnung nicht zu realisieren. Ein mit einem Streckwerk auseinandergezogenes Kardenband weist in seiner Dichte so extreme Unterschiede auf, daß die Nissen, sofern sie überhaupt sichtbar sind, zum Teil nur durch zweidimensionales Sehen, Stoppen der Bewegung des Bandes und Variieren der Betrachtungsrichtung erkannt werden können.The solution to this problem cannot be achieved by automating the arrangement described above. A carding tape pulled apart with a drafting system exhibits such extreme differences in density that the nits, if they are visible at all, can only be partially recognized by two-dimensional vision, stopping the movement of the tape and varying the viewing direction.
Die Erfindung, deren wesentliche Merkmale in Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführt sind, verwendet deshalb anstelle des Streckwerkes eine Vorrichtung zur Auflösung des Bandes wie sie bei sog. Open-End-Spinnmaschinen benutzt wird. Dort wird das Kardenband weitgehend in Einzelfasern aufgelöst, die dann mit Hilfe eines Luftstromes durch einen sich verengenden Kanal gesogen, dadurch weitgehend parallelisiert werden und schließlich in einen schnellaufenden Rotor gelangen.The invention, the essential features of which are set out in
Bei der Erfindung ist anstelle des Rotors ein Meßfeld angeordnet, durch das die in Bewegungsrichtung ausferichteten Fasern hindurchfliegen. Da die geschilderte Anordnung vollkommen ungeeignet ist, Nissen aufzulösen, fliegen diese unverändert ebenfalls durch das Meßfeld. Sie bewirken so, verglichen mit dem Faserstrom, eine markante momentane Massenzunahme und sind durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Methoden von den Fasern zu unterscheiden.In the invention, a measuring field is arranged instead of the rotor, through which the fibers aligned in the direction of movement fly. Since the arrangement described is completely unsuitable for dissolving nits, they also fly unchanged through the measuring field. Compared to the fiber flow, they cause a significant instantaneous mass increase and can be distinguished from the fibers by a variety of different methods.
Nachfolgend wird die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Vorrichtung an Hand der Abb.1 näher erläutert.The device on which the invention is based is explained in more detail below with the aid of FIG. 1.
Das Kardenband 1 wird durch die Förderwalze 2 in das Gerät gezogen. Die Auflösewalze 3 reißt die Fasern bereits überwiegend einzeln aus dem Band. Die Fasern umschlingen dabei die Garniturzähne der Auflösewalze und haften dadurch an diesen. Sobald sie durch die Drehung der Auflösewalze in den Bereich der Luftzufuhr 4 und des Kanals 5 gelangen, werden sie durch einen Luftstrom von der Garnitur gelöst und fliegen in den Kanal 5. Der Kanal 5 verengt sich, was die Luftgeschwindigkeit stark erhöht. dadurch werden die fasern in Richtung der Luftbewegung ausgerichtet. In diesem Zustand durchfliegen sie nun die Meßeinrichtung 6. Die Faserdichte beträgt dabei nur weinige Fasern pro mm .The
Diese Faserdichte ist nicht konstant, jedoch erfolgen Dichteänderungen infolge der statistischen Verteilung und der Länge der Fasern mit niedrigen Gradienten.This fiber density is not constant, but density changes occur due to the statistical distribution and the length of the fibers with low gradients.
Die Nissen durchfliegen ebenfalls den Kanal 5 und die Meßeinrichtung 6. Sie bewirken eine starke spontane Zu- und Abnahme der Faserdichte und erzeugen dadurch ein markantes elektrisches Signal in der Meßeinrichtung.The nits also fly through channel 5 and the measuring device 6. They cause a strong spontaneous increase and decrease in the fiber density and thereby generate a striking electrical signal in the measuring device.
Zur Erzeugung dieses Signals gibt es diverse an sich bekannte Methoden. Es kann z.B. die Kapazität eines Kondensators gemessen werden, dessen Dielektrikum zum Teil von dem Luftstrom mit den Fasern gebildet wird. Man kann auch den Faserstrom beleuchten und das durchdringende Licht messen, wie es bei einem sog. Garnreiniger geschieht. Eine solche Anordnung zeigt die Abb.2. Der Sensor 13 erfaßt das durch den Faserstrom 11 reduzierte Licht der Lichtquelle 12. Wenn man die Lichtquellen 14 u.14′ statt 12 verwendet, empfängt er das von den Fasern reflektierte Licht. Mit einer Optik 16 kann ggf. auch eine Abbildung der Fasern auf einem zeilenförmigen Sensor 13, der aus den Elementen 15 besteht, geschehen, wie es in Abb.3 dargestellt ist. Der Faserstrom 11 verläuft hier senkrecht zur Ebene der Zeichnung.There are various methods known per se for generating this signal. For example, the capacitance of a capacitor can be measured, the dielectric of which is partly formed by the air flow with the fibers. You can also illuminate the fiber stream and measure the penetrating light, as happens with a so-called yarn cleaner. Such an arrangement is shown in Fig.2. The
Die optimale Methode ergibt sich aus dem notwendigen Aufwand einerseits und der Sicherheit gegen Fehlinterpretationen andererseits. Es werden nämlich auch Verunreinigungen und Schalenteile durch die Meßeinrichtung 6 gesogen. Der größte Teil dieser Partikel wird jedoch schon von der Auflösewalze ausgeschieden und sammelt sich im Trash-Behälter 7.The optimal method results from the necessary effort on the one hand and security against misinterpretation on the other. This is because impurities and shell parts are sucked through the measuring device 6. However, most of these particles are already excreted by the opening roller and collect in the
Die Fasern durchfliegen nach der Meßeinrichtung den Diffusor 8 und sammeln sich im Filter 9, während die Luft von dem Gebläse 10 aus dem Gerät herausgeblasen wird.The fibers fly through the
