- the present invention relates to a device for accumulating a sliver of textile fibres which is intended to be interposed between a carding unit, or in any case a unit which continuously produces the sliver of discontinuous textile fibres, and a drawing unit.

Abstract
The device includes a casing (8) defining a collecting chamber (6) with an inlet opening (10) for the sliver, the inlet opening (10) facing a deposition device (14) for feeding the sliver (4) into the collecting chamber (6) in a series of coils. The casing has an outlet opening (28) which is at a higher level than the inlet opening (10).
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for accumulating a sliver of textile fibres which is intended to be interposed between a carding unit, or in any case a unit which continuously produces the sliver of discontinuous textile fibres, and a drawing unit.
- In known drawing equipment, the sliver of textile fibres coming from a carding unit is collected in containers and is then supplied to the drawing equipment. In known equipment, the sliver cannot be supplied directly from the cards to the drawing equipment since the drawing equipment operates discontinuously with frequent programmed or accidental interruptions whereas the cards have considerable inertia and it is not convenient to slow or stop them when the drawing equipment is slowed or stopped. The object of the present invention is to provide a device for accumulating the sliver which enables the sliver coming from the cards to be supplied to the drawing equipment without a stage in which it is collected in containers.
- According to the present invention, this object is achieved by the provision of a device which includes a casing defining a collecting chamber with an inlet opening for the sliver, the inlet opening facing a deposition device for feeding the sliver into the collecting chamber in a series of coils, and the casing having an opening for the outlet of the sliver at a higher level than the inlet opening.
- By virtue of this characteristic, a stock of the sliver can be created between the cards and the drawing equipment, so that the cards can operate at a constant speed whilst the drawing equipment is slowed or temporarily stopped. It is essential for the outlet opening for the sliver to be at a higher level than the inlet opening in order to ensure that the weight of the sliver in the collecting chamber bears on the incoming fibre so as to have a compacting effect. No force acts on the sliver at the top of the collecting chamber, however, so it is free to be withdrawn for transportation to the drawing equipment.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clear in the course of the detailed description which follows with reference to the appended drawings provided purely by way of non-limiting example, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the present invention,
- Figure 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of the device of Figure 1, and
- Figure 3 is a cross-section taken on the line III-III of Figure 1.
- With reference to the drawings, a device, indicated 1, for accumulating a sliver of textile fibres is intended to be interposed between a carding unit and drawing equipment (neither of which is illustrated). The device 1 includes a
feeder unit 2 which receives a sliver oftextile fibres 4 from the carding unit. Thefeeder unit 2 conveys thesliver 4 into acollecting chamber 6 defined in a box-like casing 8. As can be seen in Figures 2 and 3, a front wall of thecasing 8 has an inlet opening 10, for example, a rectangular opening. Thefeeder unit 2 is constituted essentially by a pair of motor-drivenrollers 12 which send thesliver 4 to adeposition device 14 of known type facing the inlet opening 10 in thecasing 8. Therollers 12 and thedeposition device 14 are supported by afixed structure 16 including awall 18 which prevents thesliver 4 from coming out through the inlet opening 10. Thefixed structure 16 also carries a motor-drivenchain 20 which is connected to thecasing 8 by apin 22. Thecasing 8 is slidable onguide tracks 24 along the line indicated by the double arrow A, perpendicular to the direction in which thesliver 4 is fed into thecasing 8. - As can be seen in Figure 3, the
collecting chamber 6 in thecasing 8 is defined by two concentriccylindrical walls 26 which connect the inlet opening 10 with anupper opening 28 for the outlet of thesliver 4. - The
casing 8 also has a pressure member which is intended to exert an opposing force on thesliver 4 in thecollecting chamber 6 during the initial stage in which thechamber 6 is being filled. The pressure member is constituted essentially by aplate 30 which is movable in thecollecting chamber 6 and is carried by a pair ofarcuate arms 32 fixed torespective cranks 34 which are fixed to ashaft 36. Theshaft 36 is mounted for rotation on thecasing 8 and is rotated by achain 38 driven by anactuator 40. Theplate 30 has ahole 31 for restraining the end of thesliver 4 whilst thechamber 6 is being filled. - In operation, whilst the
deposition device 14 feeds the sliver into thecollecting chamber 6, thecasing 8 is moved to and fro on thetrack 24 by the motor-drivenchain 20. When the sliver is collected in thechamber 6 for the first time, the end of the sliver is inserted through thehole 31 in theplate 30 and theplate 30 is kept pressed against the inlet opening 10. As the sliver gradually collects in thechamber 6, theplate 30 moves upwardly and continues to exert an opposing force on thesliver 4. When theplate 30 reaches a predetermined position, theactuator 40 raises theplate 30 fully to the configuration shown in broken outline in Figure 3. Thesliver 4 is then removed manually from thehole 31 and withdrawn from thecasing 8 through theupper opening 28. The weight of the sliver in thecollecting chamber 6 is sufficient to create an opposing force on the material fed in through the inlet opening 10.
