Description

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Reinigungsvorrichtung für Textilmaschinen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The innovation relates to a cleaning device for textile machines according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer bekannten Reinigungsvorrichtung ist eine von Bodenstützen getragene Schienenbahn vorgesehen. Auf dieser Schienenbahn laufen die Rollen des oberhalb der Schienenbahn verlaufenden Reinigungsgeräts. Neben der Schienenbahn oder zwischen den Einzelschienen der Schienenbahn ist ein Saugkanal vorgesehen, der oberseitig einen längsverlaufenden Schlitz aufweist, der beidseits durch je eine Dichtlippe abgedeckt ist. Das Reinigungsgerät weist einen nach unten verlaufenden schiffchenförmigen Rüssel auf, der in den Schlitz des Saugkanals unter Auseinanderspreizen der Dichtlippen eingreift. Der schiffchenförmige Rüssel kommuniziert mit Saugschläuchen des Reinigungsgeräts, so daß auf diese Weise der Textilfaserflug im Bereich der überfahrenen Textilmaschinen über die Schläuche, den Rüssel und den Saugkanal abgesaugt wird.In a known cleaning device, a rail track supported by floor supports is provided. The rollers of the cleaning device running above the rail track run on this rail track. In addition to the rail track or between the individual rails of the rail track, a suction channel is provided which has a longitudinal slot on the top side, which is covered on both sides by a sealing lip. The cleaning device has a boat-shaped trunk running downwards, which engages in the slot of the suction channel by spreading apart the sealing lips. The boat-shaped proboscis communicates with suction hoses of the cleaning device, so that in this way the textile fiber flight in the area of the textile machines run over is suctioned off via the hoses, the proboscis and the suction channel.

Auf der dem Saugkanal gegenüberliegenden Seite der Schienenbahn verläuft eine Stromschiene, in die ein Stromabnehmer des Reinigungsgeräts eingreift, so daß der Antriebsmotor für die angetriebenen Rollen bestromt werden kann.On the side of the rail track opposite the suction channel, there is a current rail into which a current collector of the cleaning device engages, so that the drive motor for the driven rollers can be energized.

Dieser Aufbau der Reinigungsvorrichtung ist teuer und benötigt zudem durch die Nebeneinanderanordnung von Saugkanal, Schienenbahn und Stromschiene relativ viel Platz.This structure of the cleaning device is expensive and also requires a relatively large amount of space due to the side-by-side arrangement of the suction channel, railroad track and busbar.

Der DE-A-37 05 924 ist eine gattungsgemäße Reinigungsvorrichtung für Rotorspinnmaschinen entnehmbar, bei dem der längs der Spinnmaschine verlaufende Kanal einen längsverlaufenden Schlitz an seiner Unterseite aufweist, der durch Dichtlippen abgedeckt ist und in welchen der Rüssel eines verfahrbaren Reinigungsgeräts eingreift. An der Unterseite des Kanals sind seitlich über den Kanal überstehende Schienen angeordnet, auf denen Rollen des darunter verfahrbaren Reinigungsgeräts, das an den Rollen aufgehängt ist, geführt sind.DE-A-37 05 924 shows a generic cleaning device for rotor spinning machines, in which the channel running along the spinning machine has a longitudinal slot on its underside, which is covered by sealing lips and in which the trunk of a movable cleaning device engages. On the underside of the channel, rails projecting laterally beyond the channel are arranged, on which rollers of the cleaning device which can be moved underneath and are suspended on the rollers are guided.

Die GB-A-1 077 718 zeigt einen schiflchenförmigen Rüssel eines Reinigungsgeräts, das in einen durch Dichtlippen abgedeckten Schlitz eingreift, der längs eines Saugkanals verläuft.GB-A-1 077 718 shows a shingled snout of a cleaning device which engages in a slot covered by sealing lips which runs along a suction channel.

Es besteht die Aufgabe, die Reinigungsvorrichtung preisgünstig und raumsparend auszubilden.The task is to design the cleaning device inexpensively and in a space-saving manner.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Fig. 1 eine stirnseitige Ansicht der Reinigungsvorrichtung.Fig. 1 is an end view of the cleaning device.

Der Kanal 1A ist über Träger 13 an der Decke aufgehängt. Auf der Oberseite dieses Kanals 1A laufen die Bundrollen 5A, welche über vertikale Streben 14 mit dem Reinigungsgerät 6A verbunden sind, das unterhalb des Kanals 1A verfahrbar ist. Der Kanal 1A weist an seiner Unterseite den Schlitz 3A auf, der normalerweise durch die Dichtlippen 4A verschlossen ist. In diesen Schlitz 3A greift unter Auseinanderspreizung der Dichtlippen 4A der nach oben verlaufende schiffchenförmige Rüssel 7A ein. Dieser Rüssel mündet im Verteilerkasten 10A, an welchen die Blasschläuche 11A angeschlossen sind.The channel 1A is suspended from the ceiling via support 13. On the top of this channel 1A run the collar rollers 5A, which are connected via vertical struts 14 to the cleaning device 6A, which can be moved below the channel 1A. The channel 1A has on its underside the slot 3A, which is normally closed by the sealing lips 4A. The upwardly extending boat-shaped trunk 7A engages in this slot 3A while spreading apart the sealing lips 4A. This trunk opens into the distribution box 10A, to which the blow hoses 11A are connected.

Oberhalb des Kanals 1A verläuft die Stromschiene 8A, in welche der Stromabnehmer 9A eingreift. Dieser versorgt den Antriebsmotor mit Strom, der über ein Getriebe ein Rollenpaar antreibt. Weiterhin ist eine Sicherungsstange 12A vorgesehen.The busbar 8A, in which the current collector 9A engages, runs above the channel 1A. This supplies the drive motor with electricity, which drives a pair of rollers via a gear. A securing rod 12A is also provided.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen dient der Kanal 1A als Schienenbahn, so daß eine separate Schienenbahn in Wegfall kommen kann. Die Sicherungsstange 12A verhindert ein Abheben des Reinigungsgeräts 6A, was beispielsweise auftreten könnte, wenn einer der Schläuche 11A gegen ein Hindernis anläuft.In the illustrated embodiments, the channel 1A serves as a railroad track, so that a separate railroad track can be eliminated. The safety rod 12A prevents the cleaning device 6A from lifting off, which could occur, for example, if one of the hoses 11A hits an obstacle.

Der Kanal 1A ist in bekannter Weise an die Saugseite eines stationären Gebläses angeschlossen. Zwischen dem Gebläse und dem Kanal 1A ist ein Filter vorgesehen, an welchem der Textilfaserflug abgeschieden wird.The channel 1A is connected in a known manner to the suction side of a stationary fan. A filter is provided between the blower and the duct 1A, on which the textile fiber flight is separated.

Das Reinigungsgerät 6A verfährt von einem Ende der Textilmaschinenreihe zum anderen Ende, sodann wieder zurück zum einen Ende usw. Es ist mit einem eigenen Fahrantrieb ausgestattet.The cleaning device 6A travels from one end of the row of textile machines to the other end, then back to one end, etc. It is equipped with its own travel drive.

Das Reinigungsgerät 6A kann auch indirekt angetrieben werden. Beispielsweise ist an beiden Enden des Reinigungsgeräts 6A eine Kette eingehängt, die an den beiden Enden der Textilmaschinenreihe über je ein Kettenrad umgelenkt wird, wobei eines der Kettenräder durch einen Motor angetrieben wird. Da in diesem Fall kein eigener Antrieb des Reinigungsgeräts 6A erforderlich ist, kann die Stromschiene und der Stromabnehmer sowie der Antriebsmotor mit Getriebe zum Antrieb eines Rollenpaars entfallen.The cleaning device 6A can also be driven indirectly. For example, a chain is attached to both ends of the cleaning device 6A, which chain is deflected at the two ends of the row of textile machines by means of a chain wheel one of the sprockets is driven by a motor. Since in this case no separate drive of the cleaning device 6A is required, the busbar and the current collector as well as the drive motor with gear for driving a pair of rollers can be omitted.

In dem vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich bei dem Kanal 1A um einen Saugkanal. Es kann sich jedoch hierbei auch um einen Druckkanal handeln, der an die Druckseite eines stationären Gebläses angeschlossen ist. In diesem Fall blasen die Schläuche 11A den Faserflug von den Textilmaschinen weg.In the aforementioned embodiment, the channel 1A is a suction channel. However, this can also be a pressure channel which is connected to the pressure side of a stationary blower. In this case, the hoses 11A blow the fiber fly away from the textile machines.

Es ist auch ein kombinierter Blas-Saugbetrieb möglich, indem der Kanal als Doppelkanal ausgebildet ist. Jede Kanalhälfte weist einen Schlitz 3A und Dichtlippen 4A auf, in welche je ein Rüssel 7A eingreift. Diese Rüssel 7A stehen mit zwei getrennten Verteilerkästen in Verbindung, an welche Blas- und Saugschläuche angeschlossen sind. Die eine Kanalhälfte ist an die Druckseite und die andere Kanalhälfte an die Saugseite eines Gebläses angeschlossen.A combined blow-suction operation is also possible in that the duct is designed as a double duct. Each channel half has a slot 3A and sealing lips 4A, in each of which a trunk 7A engages. These proboscises 7A are connected to two separate distribution boxes, to which blow and suction hoses are connected. One channel half is connected to the pressure side and the other channel half to the suction side of a blower.
