Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating method and a device for transferring, on the one hand, individual coils or coil groups attached to a coil adapter from, for example, a winding machine to a bobbin transport device and, on the other hand, empty bobbin tubes from Transport device to the winding machine.
  • the bobbin transport device can be assigned to a further processing textile machine, for example a winding or specialist machine or a double-wire twisting machine, or it can be part of such a further processing textile machine.
  • a transfer device described in EP-A-0 026 160 is used to combine two axially aligned individual coils lying one behind the other by means of a coil adapter to form a coil group which is then dropped under the influence of gravity into a storage device or a collecting trolley.
  • the individual coil adapters are previously removed from a coil magazine.
  • the coil units stored in the memory or collecting trolley must be detected again, with practically only manual removal being suitable for the gentle removal of these coil units from the coil magazine.
  • DE-A-38 02 900 deals with a bobbin transfer or bobbin transfer device for connecting an automatic winder to a double-wire twisting machine. It is in particular a device in which the bobbins are removed from a conveyor belt assigned to the winding machine by means of a gripper and, after changing the axial position of the bobbins, are delivered to bobbins of a conveyor belt rotating around the double-wire twisting machine.
  • DE-A-32 40 822 deals with a ring spinning machine assigned transfer device, by means of which roving bobbins are removed from a bobbin transport carriage and plugged onto a transport device running along the bobbin creel of the ring twisting machine.
  • the invention is intended to achieve the object of coupling a winding machine to a subsequent further processing textile machine, for example double-wire twisting machine, in such a way that, with little effort, fully wound bobbins are transferred from the winding machine to the subsequent machine, while on the other hand from this subsequent machine returned empty tubes are fed back to the winding machine.
  • the operating method according to the invention results from the following description of the coil transfer device according to the invention.
  • the mechanical and structural details of the bobbin transfer device are described below essentially in connection with the working and functioning of the individual units.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the bobbin transfer device 1 according to the invention as a connecting or coupling member between schematically shown winding machines 2 or specialist or spinning machines and also schematically shown further processing textile machines 3, which can be, for example, double-wire twisting machines. Both the winding machines 2 and the textile machines 3 are so-called multi-position machines.
  • the winding machines 2 are assigned a conveyor belt 2.1, with which fully wound yarn packages 9 are fed to the transfer device 1.
  • These bobbins 9 are transferred from the transfer device 1 to a hanging conveyor 4, by means of which the bobbins 9 plugged onto the bobbin adapter 5 are transferred to the hanging conveyor 4 rotating around the textile machines 3.
  • the bobbins are processed in the area of the individual workstations of the textile machines, so that the empty sleeves 6 placed on the bobbin adapter 5 must then be conveyed away again. This conveying away also takes place by means of the overhead conveyor 4, from which the coil adapters 5 with the empty sleeves 6 placed thereon are removed again by means of the transfer device 1.
  • the empty tubes are then removed in the area of this transfer device from the bobbin adapters 5, optionally cleaned of remaining yarn residues and then transferred to a conveyor 2.2, from which the cleaned empty tubes 6 'are distributed to the individual workstations of the winding machine 2.
  • the direction of movement of the individual conveying devices is indicated in FIG. 1 by the arrows f1-f6.
  • the overhead conveyor 4 comprises a top rail in which a conveyor chain or a conveyor belt is guided, on which bobbin hangers 8 are attached at regular intervals.
  • the bobbin adapter 5 and the bobbin hanging holder 8 are designed in a known manner so that the bobbin adapter is released from the bobbin hanging holder 8 on the one hand and gripped by the latter by sufficient raising.
  • the coil transfer device 1 essentially contains the following functionally essential individual parts: Two deflecting wheels 10 and 11 rotating around vertical axes for an endless transport member in the form of a conveyor belt 12, one deflecting wheel 11 being driven by a drive unit 13; a guide rail 14 in the form of a T-profile which surrounds the transport member 12 and is arranged parallel to it, this guide rail 14 containing an elongated, outwardly pivotable rail section 14.1 and a vertically adjustable rail section 14.2 (see FIG.
  • Carriers guided on the guide rail 14 in the form of slides 15 (in the present case four slides), which carry coil carriers in the form of plug-in pins 15.1 for plugging on the coil adapter 5 and have rollers 15.2 with which the slides 15 carry the T-legs of the T-profile the guide rail 14 are guided behind the guide rail; on the one hand on the transport member 12 attached coupling members 12.1 and on the other hand on the carriage 15 attached coupling members 15.3, which can cooperate with the coupling members 12.1 to couple the carriage 15 to the transport member 12 such that the carriage along the guide rail 14 in the direction of the arrows f2 can be moved forward; an adjustment system 16 to be described in detail in order to pivot the pivotable rail section 14.1 on the one hand in the direction of the arrow f7 (see FIG.
  • a lifting unit in the form of a lifting cylinder 17 in order to adjust the rail section 14.2 movable up and down in the direction of the arrows or double arrows f4 in the vertical direction.
  • Fig. 2 shows the coil transfer device 1 partially in section.
  • the oval-shaped guide rail 14 with the cyclically drivable transport member 12 can be seen in order to feed the slides 15 to the individual workstations in cycles with the coil or sleeve groups attached to the plug-in mandrels 15.1.
  • the overhead conveyor 4 is shown above the transfer device 1.
  • the work stations along the guide rail 14 are described clockwise as follows:
  • a coil adapter 5 with the empty sleeves 6 placed thereon is removed from a coil hanging holder 8 of the overhead conveyor 4.
  • a disk-shaped unwinding aid 7 This serves to improve the unwinding behavior of the threads from the two single-wound bobbins in the area of the further processing textile machine.
  • the second work station II is located at the input end of the pivotable rail section 14.1, while the third work station III is arranged in the region of the output end of this rail section 14.1.
  • the empty sleeves 6 are optionally stripped together with the drain aid 7 by the coil adapter 5. This process is described in detail.
  • the bobbins 9 transferred from the conveyor belt 2.1 to a lifting table 18 are taken over by the empty bobbin adapter 5.
  • the pivotable rail section 14.1 is pivoted in the direction of arrow f8 in a horizontal direction, namely driven by the adjustment system 16.
  • the bobbin adapter 5 equipped with full bobbins 9 can be adjusted together with the carriage 15 into the work station IV.
  • this work station IV is assigned a suction device 19 which can be moved to the bobbin circumference and with which the thread ends of the two bobbins 9 are sought and gripped in order to fix these thread ends in a suitable manner, for example on the upper edge of the bobbin adapter 5.
  • this prepared coil group is moved into the working position I, around this coil group by raising the rail section 14.2 to be transferred to a free bobbin hanging holder 8 of the overhead conveyor 4.
  • the carriage 15 After the transfer of a new group of coils to the overhead conveyor, the carriage 15 remains at a height just below the overhead conveyor. This then clocks a division further, so that a following coil adapter 5 with empty sleeves attached to it can be removed by raising the slide 15 in order to transfer this coil holder equipped with empty sleeves into the circuit after the slide 15 or the rail section 14.2 has been shut down, so that the working cycle described in working positions II to IV can be carried out again.
  • Fig. 3 shows a state in which in the working positions I and II, the bobbin adapter 5 partially bobbin sleeves 6 wound with thread remnants, while the bobbin adapter 5 in the working position III is empty and thus ready to take over fully wound bobbins 9.
  • the rail section 14.1 is shown in the position pivoted out of the guide rail 14.
  • the coil adapter 5 with the on it is in the working position II inserted empty sleeves 6 and the drain aid 7 in the area of the sleeve removal device 22 moves.
  • This device 22 contains horizontally adjustable clamping jaws 23, between which the coil adapter 5 with the empty sleeves 6 is inserted, in such a way that the lower sleeve 6 itself is held in place by moving the two clamping jaws 23 together.
  • a gripper 25 which can be pivoted by means of a lifting cylinder 24 is pivoted into a position below the drainage aid 7 which is still attached to the adapter 5.
  • This gripper has the shape of an open, arched insertion groove. Thereafter, by moving back the rail section 14.1, the coil adapter 5 held by the insertion pin 15.1 of the slide 15 can be pulled out of the two empty sleeves 6.
  • the unwinding aid 7 held by the gripper 25 can then be inserted by swiveling the gripper 25 in the direction of arrow f10 between two full bobbins 9 deposited on the lifting table 18.
  • the lifting table 18 is provided with an entry slot 18.1 for inserting the gripper 25.
  • the empty bobbin adapter 5 When the rail section 14.1 is extended, the empty bobbin adapter 5 is simultaneously inserted into the sleeves of the two yarn bobbins 9 in the working position III, and if necessary also into the drain aid 7 which has a central opening. After the two bobbins 9 in the region of the working position 3 of Coil adapter 5 have been adopted, the lifting table 18th lowered in order to be able to take over again a coil group consisting of two coils 9 from the conveyor belt 2.1.
  • the schematically shown cutting device 29 is activated, which has a rotating cutting knife.
  • the cleaned sleeve 6 ' is laterally transferred from the lifting table to the conveyor belt 2.2 by opening a side flap 31, so that the cleaned sleeves 6' are then again shown in FIG. 1 can be fed to the individual winding units of the winding machine 2.
  • Fully wound yarn spools 9 are conveyed onto the lifting table 18 parallel to the tube cleaning and, after the lifting table 18 has been raised, are brought into a position in which they can be picked up again by a subsequent empty bobbin adapter 15. After depositing two yarn packages 9 on the lifting table 18, a new drain aid 7 is inserted between the two yarn packages 9, as described.
  • FIG. 4 shows the adjustment system 16 for pivoting the rail section 14.1 out of the conveyor track formed by the guide rail 14 and for horizontally displacing this guide section in the direction of the arrow f8.
  • This adjustment system consists of slides which can be displaced between guide rollers 32 in the form of two horizontal rails 33 (only one of these horizontal rails is shown in FIG. 4) and a crossbar 34 fastened between these horizontal rails 33.
  • a pivotably mounted lifting cylinder 35 engages at the rear end of this crossbar 34 at.
  • a crank mechanism 36 for a connecting rod 37 is also mounted.
  • This connecting rod 37 engages with its front end on the one lever arm of a pivotable about the horizontal axis 38 lever system 39, on the second lever arm of the rail section 14.1 is attached.
  • the rail section 14.1 By activating the crank mechanism 36, the rail section 14.1 can be pivoted about the horizontal axis 38 out of the conveyor track formed by the guide rail 14. By activating the lifting cylinder 35, this rail section 14.1 can be extended in the direction of the arrow f8 in the horizontal direction in order to be able to carry out the working steps in the working positions II and III.
  • the adjustment mechanism 10 is shown again schematically in FIG. 5.
  • the peculiarity of the operating method according to the invention and the device according to the invention lies in particular in the fact that the individual work steps are distributed over four work positions or work cycles.
  • the performance of the transfer device can thus be increased considerably in that a bobbin preparation station can supply several bobbin preparation machines as well as several further processing textile machines, for example double-wire twisting machines.
