  • This invention relates to a roving chip collecting system for a roving bobbin replacing apparatus. More particularly, it relates to a chip collecting system for a bobbin replacing apparatus that performs the operation of replacing the bobbins under delivery using suction pipes.
  • rovings are drawn from bobbins suspended from the creel and fed to drafting parts locating below the creel.
  • these bobbins must be replaced with new roving bobbins.
  • the tail ends of the rovings of new bobbins must be spliced with those of the bobbins under delivery, or the rovings of the new bobbins must be inserted into the drafting parts of the spinning frame.

  • the tail ends of the rovings are trimmed so that the length of the rovings protruding from the holders of the splicer may be equal, and the chips of the rovings are collected in a roving chip collecting box or chamber provided in the bobbin replacing apparatus.
  • the chip collecting box is full, the roving chips are designed to be removed therefrom manually by an operator.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide a chip collecting system for a roving bobbin replacing apparatus, which can perform fully automatically recovery of roving chips from the chip collecting chamber provided in the bobbin replacing apparatus.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a chip collecting system for a bobbin replacing apparatus, which requires less frequent removal of the roving chips even when the roving chips accumulated in the chip collecting chamber must be recovered manually.

  • the amount of the roving chips 101 to be temporarily accommodated in the chip collecting chamber 17 after a single bobbin replacing operation for one spinning frame 1 depends on the number of yarns to be spun. When a large number of yarns are to be spun, the chip collecting box 17 will be full after only one or two runs of bobbin replacing operation. In contrast when fewer yarns are to be spun, it will fill only after several runs. Accordingly, when a small number of yarns are to be spun, it is not necessary to remove the roving chips from the chip collecting chamber 17 after completion of one or two runs of the bobbin replacing operation. Rather, removal of chips may be carried out whenever the bobbin replacing apparatuses 12 reach the position where they oppose to the suction removal station 38.

  • the counter gives a signal whenever the run number of the bobbin replacing operation reach a predetermined value indicating the necessity of chip removal. In this case, the number of the suction removal stations 38 can further be reduced. Since the value depends on the spinning condition, a variable counter should be used so that the set value can be varied.

However, the time required for one chip removing operation will be somewhat longer. Nevertheless, it may not affect the operation of the bobbin replacing apparatuses 12 since recovery of the chips from the chip collecting chamber 41 can be carried out while the apparatuses 12 are under operation.
  • Suction removal pipes 29 may be disposed at one or two positions to carry out chip removal if the transporter 13 is adapted to travel to such positions during its stand-by period while the apparatuses 12 are performing bobbin replacing operation.

  • the exhaust pipe 21 is connected to the chip collecting box 51 when the bobbin replacing apparatus 12 stops at the out end side of the spinning frame 1, whereupon the suction fan 16 in the chip collecting box 17 is driven reverse to urge the roving chips in the chip collecting box 17 into the chip collecting box 51.
  • the chip collecting box 51 constitutes a part of the chip removing system in this embodiment.
  • the transferring means constituting a part of the chip removing system comprises a reversely driven suction fan and the exhaust pipe 21 also serving as a communicating means.
  • the roving chips accumulated in the chip collecting box 51 may be recovered occasionally by an operator or by the central collecting system.
  • a suction device may be disposed in the chip collecting box 51 to suck away and recover the roving chips in the chip collecting box 17.
  • a ninth embodiment of this invention will be described referring to Fig. 19.
  • a constitution similar to the second embodiment is employed in this embodiment except that a first air blow pipe 53 and a second air blow pipe 54 are disposed on the chip collecting box 17 of the bobbin replacing apparatus 12.
  • the first air blow pipe 53 is for sweeping away the chips and fleece deposited on a screening net 52.
  • the second air blow pipe 54 assists the central collecting duct 23 to recover the chips and fleece accumulated in the chip collecting box 17.
  • the sucking static pressure of the suction pipe 18 will be lowered.
  • the roving chips sucked through the suction nozzle 19 will not be opened and remain in the form of chips and carried to the central collecting duct 23 through the chip collecting box 17. Accordingly, it happens that the roving chips are caught at the joint of the central collecting duct 23 or involved by a fan (not shown) disposed in the central collecting duct 23.
  • this invention is not limited to the above Examples, and it is also possible, for example in the fifth embodiment, to use an extensible connecting suction pipe 43 or exhaust pipe 44, or to use a driving means other than the air cylinder as a means for moving the suction removal pipe 29 and the like, or to dispose the central collecting duct 23 at a place other than the ceiling.
  • the chip collecting box 17 may have a closable outlet as a communicating means instead of the exhaust pipe 21, while the suction removal pipes 26 or 29 constituting the chip removing system may be elongated.
  • the sensor outputs a command signal that the roving chips should be removed when the amount thereof is more than a predetermined set value and a command signal indicating completion of chip removal when the chip collecting box 17 is empty, respectively.
  • a chip collecting system for a bobbin replacing apparatus Disclosed is a chip collecting system for a bobbin replacing apparatus.
