Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and Device for winding a thread on a conical coil or sleeve after changing the coil or thread break on an open-end spinning machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE-A-28 50 729 and DE-C-28 50 729 known when piecing in an open-end spinning device and subsequent upswing of the spun thread on a conical spool between the thread take-off device, the piecing device and the conical package to incorporate a thread store in the course of the thread and the thread store before hanging up the pinch roller on the take-off roller, i.e.
  • the task of DE-C2 is to thicken and Weaknesses of the thread when piecing and Disruption of the winding process in the event of Avoid using conical coils.
  • DE-A-17 85 153 is a device known for winding conical packages to compensate for that by using conical coils caused irregularities a thread store is provided in the thread path is.
  • DE-OS 25 41 589 is a device for automatic piecing for an open-end spinning machine known.
  • the prior art is based on Rewinding or at the beginning of the winding a sleeve of the spinning device first delivered thread from a maintenance device handled with the thread through a Removal device of the service unit from the Spinning device is withdrawn and by various Lever and gripper of the spool spool is fed.
  • the coil can also from a drive device of the maintenance device be driven. During the Handling of the thread by the maintenance device, even at the time the thread already passed from the spinning device to the spool there is no back and forth laying of thread on the bobbin.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a device with which the winding problems described above of conical bobbins on open-end spinning bobbins can be avoided. This task is inventively by the features of Claim 1 solved.
  • the Position of the thread guide or the direction of movement of the thread guide and thus the time of delivery of the thread from the Maintenance device to the winding device controlled is particularly advantageous it is when the sensor is used to monitor the Position of the thread guide in the maintenance device, those for changing bobbins or for breaking threads handles the thread and then transfers to the winding device of the spinning station, is arranged, and for detecting the position the thread guide of the winding device of the respective Winding unit is deliverable.
  • Another more advantageous Embodiment of the invention is the sensor on one any position of the spinning machine, which is suitable, the position or the direction of movement to monitor the thread guide.
  • the information is from this point on a Transmission line to a control device transmitted, the handover of the thread to the Controls the winding device of the spinning machine.
  • the thread is then passed over, if the thread guide first moves in the direction of the smaller diameter of the conical coil becomes.
  • the control of the maintenance device is adjusted so that the time delay, the arises from the fact that the thread is the path between the transfer device and the area in which it is covered by the thread guide has to be compensated.
  • optical or capacitive or touching Sensor will be a safe detection of the Information reached.
  • the open-end spinning device 11 from FIG. 1 has a spinning station (1) in which a thread (2) is formed by a pair of draw rollers (3) that from a fixed rotating take-off roller (31) and a movable pressure roller (32) consists of the thread on the take-off roller (31) presses, is pulled and a winding unit (4) where the thread formed into a conical cheese is wound up.
  • a movable one Maintenance device (5) moved into position.
  • the maintenance device (5) is by means of rails (51) along the spinning positions of the spinning machine can be moved and is usually automatic in the event of disruptions during thread production driven to the spinning station for their elimination in order to automatically change the spool there, for example or carry out the thread break repair.
  • the thread course (A) results when the Thread (2) from the maintenance device for removal a thread break or for example is handled when changing bobbins. Doing so the thread (2), through a pair of auxiliary draw-off rollers (30) withdrawn from the spinning station.
  • the auxiliary take-off roller pair For this purpose (30) has two auxiliary take-off rollers (301).
  • the thread runs from these an auxiliary thread guide (60) and from there to the bobbin (7).
  • the coil can also be driven by A friction roller is made by the maintenance facility lowered onto the spool and driven becomes. This is for example in DE 28 50 729 C2.
  • the Thread removed from the thread guide (6) is therefore on the spool during laying does not change.
  • the thread (2) from the maintenance device (5) to the winding unit (4).
  • the auxiliary take-off rollers are opened and the Auxiliary thread guide moved in a suitable manner, so that the thread the auxiliary thread guide and the auxiliary take-off roller pair leaves and from the pair of draw rollers (3) and the thread guide (6) of the winding unit (4) is adopted.
  • the thread guide (6) detected and moved back and forth along the coil.
  • FIG. 2 shows a spinning device (11) with a winding unit (4) and a spinning unit (1) in which a thread (2) is produced.
  • the thread course shown (B) corresponds to that of FIG. 1 and shows the normal course of the thread when winding a package (7).
  • the spinning station (1) becomes the thread (2) by means of the take-off roller (31) and the pressure roller (32). From the puller roller pair (3) the thread runs over a thread compensation bracket (600) to the thread guide (6) of the winding unit (4).
  • the thread compensation bracket (600) serves in addition, the occasional changes occurring during the change Excess thread lengths, especially in the Winding of conical coils occur.
  • the thread guide (6) is on the traversing rod (41) attached to it by their lengthways back and forth motion along the coil (7) leads back and forth.
  • the thread guide lays (6) the thread (2) between the bobbin and Friction roller (8), causing the thread on the spool is wound up.
  • maintenance device 5 From the front of the spinning station located maintenance device 5 are only the Outlines drawn and that of the winding unit deliverable sensor 510 and the control unit 50, that controls the maintenance work. Through the line (520) are both connected.
  • Figure 3 shows, similar to Figure 2, the most important Parts of a winding unit (4) with a coil (7), the Friction roller (8), the traversing rod (41) and the thread guide (6).
  • the thread (2) the course (A) according to Figure 1.
  • the auxiliary thread guide (60) is as one Threaded spindle designed so that for thread transfer by turning the spindle the thread up be brought to the end of the auxiliary thread guide (60) can.
  • FIG 1 shows the maintenance device (5) with its control unit (50), which is also outside the Maintenance device on the spinning machine itself can be accommodated.
  • the maintenance facility (5) has a sensor (510) which is able to determine the position of the thread guide (6). Of the Sensor (510) is turned on before the thread is transferred the winding unit from the maintenance device (5) Bobbin (4) delivered.
  • the sensor (510) receives the Position of the thread guide (6) recognized at which this its direction of movement at the end of the Reverses the coil with the larger diameter.
  • the one emitted by the sensor (510) at this moment Signal arrives via a line (520) Control unit (50) and from this into one Control command to the auxiliary thread guide (60) implemented, so that this by an appropriate appropriate Movement throws the thread and to the The winding unit passes the spinning unit (1).
  • the Thread guide (6) from the end with the larger ones Diameter of the coil to the takeover point of the Fadens has returned, he is already waiting there Thread on it, gripped by the thread guide and in Direction to the smaller diameter of the coil to be moved.
  • control device can also work that the sensor from the maintenance facility arranged on the other side of the coil is so that the position of the thread guide is detected will if it is in the range of the smaller diameter the coil is located. This is convenient then proceed when the auxiliary thread guide after receiving the signal to hand over the thread It took him a long time to get the Passed thread. Then stands when the signal transfer takes place, so the thread guide on the smaller Diameter of the coil is the time available that the thread guide needs to to drive along the entire coil and on reverse the larger diameter again. Conceivable it is also the position of the thread guide anywhere and to record accordingly the handover with a time delay to control the thread.
