Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for rotating textile material containers about the longitudinal axis, wherein the textile material container is placed on a turntable provided with a drive and the turntable is a parking space for a single textile material container, see e.g. GB-A-1725 2.
  • turntables for moving textile material containers, e.g. Sliver cans to use.
  • a turntable is arranged on a spinning machine, on which four sliver cans are placed.
  • This turntable is used here to bring the sliver cans into a changing position, where they can be removed from the turntable by means of a handling device or placed on it.
  • the textile material container has to be brought into certain working positions by additional devices, since the turntable is only suitable for the alternating movement.
  • the turntable is supported on the underside in the axial direction on bearing rollers, these bearing rollers being designed so that the turntable remains movable in the direction of the axial support.
  • the turntable can be supported on weight or movement measuring elements or sensors, and as a result of the movements or loads on the turntable, it is possible to determine whether a textile material container is arranged on the turntable and whether it is full or empty .
  • the guide element on the top of the turntable and the form-fitting counterpart on the bottom of the textile material container cause the textile material container to be positioned precisely on the turntable during the parking movement.
  • the guide element also prevents the container from moving transversely to the longitudinal axis.
  • the turntable can be driven by known rotary drives or advantageously by a friction wheel drive arranged under the turntable, the friction wheel being pressed against the lower surface of the turntable and in pressing direction is displaceable.
  • a friction wheel drive arranged under the turntable, the friction wheel being pressed against the lower surface of the turntable and in pressing direction is displaceable.
  • the arrangement of an opening in the center of the turntable and the bottom of the container enables the arrangement of a measuring sensor below the turntable, with which the position of the spring plate in the textile material container can be determined. This makes it easy to determine on the parked container, 0b and how much textile material is in the container.
  • the spring plate is designed in a known manner and moves along the longitudinal axis of the container, depending on the weight of the existing textile material.
  • the arrangement of the turntable according to the invention on a transport vehicle for textile material containers enables the container to be precisely positioned during the transport process between different textile machines or parking spaces. In the case of filled textile material containers, it is thus possible to bring the end of the belt, which hangs over the upper edge of the can, into a suitable transfer or takeover position.
  • the arrangement of the device according to the invention on a textile machine also brings about the considerable advantages described. Since all movements of the turntable, the textile material container and the spring plate in the container can be measured and determined by sensors, corresponding known control devices can be operated by means of the measurement signals, whereby these control devices and the associated drives can be operated fully automatically. This will significantly improve the transport and movement of textile material containers in textile plants and textile machine systems and increases the degree of automation.
  • the textile material container 1 shows a textile material container 1 with a container base 13 and a spring plate 25.
  • the springs which keep the spring plate 25 in equilibrium with the textile material contained in the container 1 are designed in a known manner and are not shown in the example described.
  • the textile material container 1 has a circular cross section and is placed on a turntable 2.
  • This turntable 2 is installed in a transport vehicle 26, this transport vehicle being used for transporting textile material containers 1 between different textile machines and parking and / or repair stations.
  • the transport vehicle 26 is equipped with an automatic drive control and has additional means, not shown, which serve to handle the textile material container 1.
  • the turntable 2 rests on bearing rollers 5, 6 in the outer region, these bearing rollers 5, 6 forming axial bearings.
  • the edge 27 of the container bottom 13 also lies in the area of these bearing rollers 5, 6.
  • the bearing rollers 5, 6 are rotatable about the horizontal axes 28, 29 and mounted on the support elements 30, 31.
  • the support element 31 is movable in the direction of the arrows 32 and rests on a spring element 33.
  • a sensor 15 is arranged below the support element 31, by means of which the position of the support element 31, and thus the turntable 2, is determined in this area. If no textile material container 1 is placed on the turntable 2, the spring element 33 presses the support element 31, and thus the bearing roller 6 and the turntable 2, upwards in this area. This is possible because the turntable 2 is displaceable in the direction of the axial support or the longitudinal axis 11.
  • the mobility of the turntable 2 is ensured by the fact that the underside 4 of the turntable 2 lies loosely on the bearing rollers 5, 6 and is positioned with respect to the rotary movements about the longitudinal axis 11 by a radial guide 7.
  • This radial guide 7 consists of a guide ring 10 connected to the turntable 2 and radial rollers 8, 9 which rest on the inside of this guide ring 10.
  • These radial rollers 8, 9 are rotatable about the axes 34, 35 and are also mounted on support elements 30.
  • the running surfaces of the radial rollers 7, 8 are arched, so that even tilting the turntable 2 does not lead to jamming and the rotary movements are not hindered.
  • a guide element 12 is arranged on the top 3, which consists of the jacket of a truncated cone.
  • a corresponding counterpart 14 which cooperates with the guide element 12 in a form-fitting manner when the container 1 is turned off.
  • This counterpart 14 consists of a conical Jacket ring with the guide element 12 corresponding dimensions.
  • the guide element 12 which interacts positively with the counterpart 14, prevents the container 1 from being displaced transversely to the longitudinal axis 11.
  • the conical surfaces of the guide element 12 and the counterpart 14 also produce a sufficient static friction surface around the container 1 without slipping relative to the turntable 2 relatively high accelerations.
  • 13 openings 23 are arranged in the center of the turntable 2 and the container bottom through which the ultrasonic beams can pass.
  • a known drive not shown, which generates the rotary movements of the turntable 2 and thus of the material container 1 about the longitudinal axis 11.
  • This drive not shown, can act on the radial rollers 8 or 9, or directly on the turntable 2 or the guide ring 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows the drive of the turntable 2 by means of a friction wheel drive 16.
  • the turntable 2 and its mounting on the bearing rollers 5, 6 and on the radial rollers 8, 9 corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
  • the bearing roller 6 is not movable and fixed like the bearing roller 5.
  • the turntable 2 is expediently supported on three bearing rollers 5 or 6.
  • a rocker 19, which can be pivoted about a pivot point 20, is arranged below the turntable 2.
  • the friction wheel drive 16, which consists of a friction wheel 17 and the corresponding drive motor 18, is mounted at one end of this rocker 19.
  • the friction wheel 17 rests on the underside 4 of the turntable 2 and generates the rotary movements of the turntable 2.
  • a spring element 21 is installed, which generates the necessary contact pressure for the friction wheel 17 and also the empty turntable 2 in the direction the axial support is able to raise.
  • This spring element 21 causes movements of this end of the rocker 19 in the direction of the arrows 36 and opposite movements at the other end of the rocker 19, since it can be pivoted about the pivot point 20.
  • a position measuring element 22 is provided in the area of the rocker 19. This position measuring element 22 has a position sensor 37 which transmits the movements of the rocker 19 to the position measuring element 22.
  • the position measuring element 22 generates corresponding measured values and control signals in a known manner, which in turn serve to determine whether a textile material container is present on the turntable 2 and, if this is desired, whether it is full or empty. In addition, the position measuring element 22 serves to put the friction wheel drive 16 into operation only when a textile material container 1 is also placed on the turntable 2.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are installed in a transport vehicle 26 for textile material containers 1.
  • the same device for rotating textile material containers 1 about the longitudinal axis 11 can, however, also be installed in textile machines or in other auxiliary devices in textile systems. It brings considerable advantages wherever textile material containers 1 automatically move around Longitudinal axis 11 must be rotated and should also be recognized automatically whether a textile material container 1 is present on a particular turntable 2 or not. A further considerable advantage results from the fact that when the textile material container 1 is placed on the turntable 2, it can be determined at what level the spring plate 25 is located within the container 1, ie how much material is still contained in the container 1. All of these measured values can be processed automatically and used for the automatic control of a corresponding textile system. Furthermore, the device is simple and insensitive to interference.
