Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in the suction system provided for removing dust, fibre web and broken yarns in spinning machines, in particular ring spinning machines, which produce yarn for depositing on rod-shaped tubes in order to form wound yarn packages.
  • Said ring spinning machines comprise a plurality of working positions, normally on two opposing faces, and are therefore of considerable length.
  • Textile machines comprise suction ducts used for the most varying purposes, such as to clean determined parts of the machine, to remove fibre dust and to draw in excess yarn ends or cut-off yarn pieces and the like. It is well known that in drafting systems on spinning machines, a fibre sliver consisting of an assembly of fibres of a certain length is subjected to considerable traction with the result that a certain quantity of fibres, particularly the short fibres, separate to form dust. It is therefore necessary to clean the drafting components and to remove the spinning fly and dust from the various machine parts and from the yarn under formation. Any pieces of broken yarn also have to be drawn off. To achieve this, the suction action must be efficient and uniform along the entire spinning face. In addition, the spinning faces of ring spinning machines are known to extend horizontally for a considerable length, namely for several tens of metres, given that the number of spinning spindles can be of the order of one thousand, one following another.
  • the cross-section of the suction air duct and the power of the pneumatic system must therefore be relatively large, with a consequently high system and operating cost for this service.
  • the draw-off of dust, fibres. broken yarns etc. in known systems is insufficiently continuous in those regions furthest from the suction fan or other motorized device which provides the suction action.
  • the air throughput in a centralized suction system in which a suction duct extending along the entire spinning face serves all the spinning spindles via suction nozzles or slots is equal to the total air quantity required to provide energetic suction action at all the spinning spindles.
  • the air velocity in the ducts and through the suction slots must be sufficiently high, and the vacuum produced must take account of the overall and localized pressure drops.
  • Fibres, dust and broken yarns which have not been properly drawn in by the suction tubes often trigger a build-up which obstructs the suction action required for continuous cleaning of the spindles, which then suffer from a progressive deposition of fibre dust on their various parts and on the yarn under formation.
  • the result is that irregularities and defects appear in the yarn to the detriment of quality, such irregularities leading in the limit to yarn breakage either during its formation or during the subsequent yarn working stages.
  • the reasons for all this are the provision of only one suction duct from which all the suction tubes extend, there being more than one for each spinning spindle, and the provision of only one suction fan, located only at the headstock end of the spinning machine.
  • the provision of only one suction duct and suction fan do not sufficiently guarantee a substantially uniform suction along the entire spinning face, with the consequence that the fibrils and dust which deposit on the various spinning machine members are not effectively removed, so compromising proper spinning.
  • the slots in the suction tubes which are of narrow cross-section, easily and frequently clog due to the fact that the suction action is weak, so that the suction efficiency is considerably reduced after a few hours of operation, making frequent maintenance and cleaning of the suction slots necessary.
  • the said maintenance and cleaning of the suction slots requires considerable care by the service personnel, who are required to operate without any preprogrammed timing. It is a known fact that such random unprogrammed work results in low labour efficiency.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic system for removing fibre dust and broken yarn pieces in spinning machines which is free of the aforesaid drawbacks and is able to function with greater effectiveness and for a longer time, without requiring frequent maintenance.
  • a further object of the present invention is to rationalize the construction of the pneumatic system of a ring spinning machine, both in terms of its capacity and in terms of its suction efficiency in effectively removing the fibrils and flying yarn pieces from the spinning spindles.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic suction system which is of new conception while at the same time being simple, and offering the facility for applying suction to further additional regions which complete the entire suction requirement in terms of any further functions required by the particular application under way.
  • the manifold duct in the upper position is put under vacuum by a suction unit positioned at one end of the spinning machine and is used to clean the drafting rollers
  • the manifold duct in the lower position is put under vacuum by the central works suction system and is used to clean the spindles at the ring bench by means of suction tubes which are flexible and extendable to allow their suction ports to follow the reciprocating movement of the ring bench.
  • Said manifold duct in the lower position comprises at least two vertical conduits which connect it directly to the ducting of the works suction system.
  • the ends of a plurality of flexible extendable suction tubes are fixed to said manifold duct in the lower position, their other ends being fixed to the ring bench so that their suction slot moves to rigidly follow the continuous upward and downward reciprocating movement of the ring bench.
  • the suction slot of any flexible extendable tube is arranged to operate in a frontal direction to clean several spinning positions, said slot therefore extending frontally along any number of spinning spindles lying one after the other.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal frontal view of the suction system of a ring spinning machine according to the present invention, showing in particular the motor-driven suction fan which maintains vacuum in the manifold duct in the upper position extending along the entire spinning face, and also showing the manifold duct in the lower position with the vertical conduits which directly connect it to the ducting of the works suction system.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic frontal section of Figure 1 taken on the line A-A, said section showing the two suction manifold ducts; the upper manifold duct is shown with its suction tubes operating in proximity to the drafting units and the lower manifold duct is shown with its flexible extendable suction tubes operating in proximity to the spinning spindles, the figure also including a schematic front section through one of the vertical conduits which directly connect the lower manifold duct to one of the ducts of the works suction system.
  • Figure 3 is a partial schematic plan view of the lower suction manifold duct with its flexible extendable suction tubes arranged to operate in a frontal direction via their suction slots to clean several spinning positions or spindles of the spinning machine.
  • corresponding parts or parts with identical functions are indicated for simplicity by the same reference numerals.
  • 1 schematically indicates the ring spinning machine which operates on two opposing faces comprising a large plurality of working positions and is hence of considerable length
  • 2 is the upper suction manifold duct in which vacuum is created by the motor-driven fan 3, this latter being located and fixed at the end 5 of the spinning machine 1.
  • Said manifold duct 2 is arranged to apply suction for cleaning the drafting units 19 positioned one following another along the entire opposing spinning faces on both longitudinal sides of the machine 1
  • 4 is the lower suction manifold duct in which vacuum is created by the works central suction system via vertical conduits 6 which directly connect it to the ducting 10 of said works suction system.
  • Said manifold duct 4 is arranged to apply suction in proximity to the known spinning spindles 18; 7 is the other end of the spinning machine 1, opposite said end 5; 14 and 16 are flexible extendable suction tubes extending from the machine 4, said tubes 14 and 16 applying suction on both the opposing spinning faces in proximity to the spindles 18, and being fixed to the ring bench 9 so that their suction slot 8 can move to rigidly follow the upward and downward continuous reciprocating movement of the ring bench 9.
  • Said suction tubes 14 and 16 enter the manifold duct 4 in a direction advantageously inclined both to a plane perpendicular to and to a plane parallel to the axis of the manifold duct 4.
  • the angles of inclination to said planes of the direction in which the suction tubes 14 and 16 enter the manifold duct 4 are such that the air in entering the manifold duct 4 does not undergo a sharp direction change, hence considerably reducing localized pressure drops.
  • the entry slots 8 in the suction tubes 14 and 16 are positioned and fixed in front of the ring bench 9 by means of any flat element 12 so that the suction acts prevalently in proximity to the known ring of the spinning spindle 18, where a certain quantity of especially short fibres is present, together with the formation of dust and broken yarn pieces and the like.
  • the entry slots 8 in said suction tubes 14 and 16 can take varied geometrical forms, for instance a substantially circular or oval geometrical form, or the form of an actual thin rectangular slit extending frontally in a vertical direction, or in a horizontal direction along one or more spinning spindles, or other forms; 11 and 15 are suction tubes flowing into the manifold duct 2, said tubes 11 and 15 each operating on one spinning face opposite the other.
  • suction tubes enter the suction manifold duct 2 advantageously inclined thereto in virtually the same manner as described for the suction tubes 14 and 16.
  • the entry slots in said suction tubes 11 and 15 can take varied geometrical forms, for instance a substantially circular geometrical form, or the form of a horizontally or vertically extending thin rectangular slit, or other thin forms.
  • the housing 3 houses the suction fan which creates vacuum in the duct 2, and the filter elements.
  • the fibre dust and broken yarn pieces around the drafting unit 19 are drawn through the slots in the tubes 11 and 15 and conveyed into the manifold duct 2 which entrains them with its air flow to the housing 3 where they are retained by the filter surfaces.
  • the fibre dust and broken yarn pieces in proximity to the spinning spindle 18 are drawn in via the suction ports 8 of the tubes 14 and 16 and are entrained by the air flow in the suction manifold duct 4 to the ducting 10 of the works suction system via the vertical conduits 6. More than one of these latter are present to provide effective connection between said duct 4 and said ducting 10.
