More particularly, the present invention is concerned with an up/down-motion apparatus for driving a thread guide rail for forming cops in the spinning machine (see DE-A-3 917 406).
  • a spinning machine such as a ring spinning machine, a ring twisting machine or the like which is equipped with a ring rail and a thread guide rail such as a lappet holding angle bar, an anti-node ring holding rail or the like.
  • the present invention is concerned with an up/down-motion apparatus for driving a thread guide rail for forming cops in the spinning machine (see DE-A-3 917 406).
  • an up/down-motion apparatus for gradually moving upwardly a ring rail while repeating an up-and-down motion thereof during operation of the spinning machine with a thread guide rail being thereby moved upwardly and downwardly in synchronism with the up/down-motion of the ring rail, for forming cops.
  • the thread guide rail there may be mentioned a rail which is referred to as the lappet holding angle bar for supporting lappets each having a snail wire mounted thereon and a rail which is called the anti-node ring holding rail for supporting anti-node rings for preventing cops being formed from ballooning excessively between the snail wire and a traveller during the spinning operation.

  • JP-A-1-148820 an apparatus in which the ring rail, the thread guide rail (lappet holding angle bar) and others are suspended downwardly by means of cords, wherein cords are wound on take-up drums which are driven by separate motors, respectively.
  • the upward displacements of the individual rails are positively realized by winding the cords on the associated take-up drums, respectively.
  • the rails are caused to move downwardly under the gravity while delivering out the cords from the take-up drums by rotating them in the reverse direction.
  • each of poker pillars adapted for supporting the ring rail and the lappet holding angle bar, respectively is constituted by a screw shaft having a threaded portion formed partially in the outer periphery, wherein each of the screw shafts is placed in screwwise engagement with a nut member mounted rotatably on the machine frame.
  • the ring rail and the lappet holding angle bar (rail) are positively driven in both the upward and downward directions.
  • the lappet holding angle bar is not always required to move upwardly and downwardly in synchronism with the ring rail. Besides, no problem will arise even when the breather or pause phenomenon takes place in the motion of the lappet holding angle bar.
  • the up/down-motion apparatus for the anti-node ring holding rail there are hitherto known two types of apparatuses, i.e., a unitary type up/down-motion apparatus by which the anti-node rings and the ring rail are moved in union and an independent type up/down-motion apparatus by which the anti-node rings are moved independent of the ring rail.
  • the anti-node rings are fixedly secured to the ring rail. So long as the up/down-motion stroke is relatively short, the unitary type up/down-motion apparatus for the anti-node ring holding rail suffers practically no problems. However, in the case where a long bobbin is used or the up/down-motion stroke is increased, it then becomes difficult to control properly the size of the balloon over the whole range of the up/down-motion stroke.
  • the anti-node ring when the anti-node ring is disposed at a position selected appropriately for the start of winding of the thread on the bobbin at which the balloon is likely to collapse, the anti-node ring will assume a position which is excessively higher than that suited for the appropriate balloon control after the cop being formed has reached a given intermediate size.

  • the small-diameter pulley 15 is urged to rotate in the direction for delivering the second belt 22 under the influence of the weight of the supporting pillar 17, the lappet holding angle bar 18 and others. Consequently, both the large-diameter pulley 14 and the small-diameter pulley 15 are caused to rotate in the counterclockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 1 as the ring rail 5 moves downwardly, whereby the first belt 16 is taken up around the large-diameter pulley 14.

  • the lower limit of the up/down-motion stroke in each cycle of reciprocative motion (i.e., chase length) of the ring rail 5 increases at a predetermined constant ratio during a period beginning at the start of thread winding and ending at the end of the thread winding, the lower limit of the range within which the lappet holding angle bar 18 is reciprocated increases correspondingly at a predetermined constant ratio.
  • the ring rail 5 is supported by the poker pillar 6 having the screw or threaded portion 6a which is screwwise engaged by the nut member 7.
  • the poker pillar 6 is positively moved upwardly under the action of the threaded portion 6a upon forward rotation of the nut member 7 driven positively in the forward or backward direction by the line shaft 2, while the poker pillar 6 is positively moved downwardly under the action of the threaded portion 6a when the nut member 7 is rotated in the backward direction.
  • the up/down-motion speed of the ring rail 5 increases, the up/down-motion of the ring rail 5 is effected with high accuracy without suffering the so-called breather or pause phenomenon, whereby the cop can be formed without suffering any noticeable disturbance.
  • the lappet holding angle bar 18 driven by the ring rail 5 can be moved upwardly and downwardly in the stable state.

  • the small-diameter pulley 15 may be formed in a cam-like shape in which the distance between the outer peripheral surface thereof and the center of rotation changes in and along the rotational direction, as is illustrated in Fig. 5.
  • the ballooning should preferably be small in this operation phase.
  • the stroke of the reciprocative up/down-motion of the lappet 20 should be maintained at as small a value as possible in the initial take-up phase so that the lappet 20 is moved in synchronism with the ring rail 5 after lapse of a certain time from the start of spinning operation. In this manner, the ballooning can be made small during the initial thread take-up period.
  • the small-diameter pulley 15 may preferably be so formed that the distance from the center of rotation to the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter pulley 15 decreases progressively from the position corresponding to the start of the thread take-up operation and then increases gradually to a constant value.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the supporting shaft 13 may be so disposed as to extend in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the spinning machine 1.
  • a pinion 24 may be so mounted as to corotate together with the small-diameter pulley 15 instead of the large-diameter pulley 14, while a rack 25 serving as the first driving means may be provided to mesh with the pinion 24 for moving in union with the ring rail 5.
  • the pinion 24 is positively rotated via the rack 25, as the ring rail 5 moves upwardly or downwardly.
  • the pulley 15 and the pinion 24 and hence the lappet holding angle bar 18 are positively caused to rotate in concurrence with the ring rail 5, whereby up-and-down motion of the lappet 20 can be realized with high reliability and stability even in the case where the lappet holding angle bar 18, the supporting pillar 17 and others are formed of a material of light weight.
  • such arrangement may equally be adopted in which the rotatable member of a small diameter is constituted by a pinion with the second driving means being realized by a rack, while the rotatable member of a large diameter is constituted by the large-diameter pulley 14 with the first driving means being constituted by the belt.
  • both of the rotatable members may be constituted by pinions, respectively, with the first and second driving means being implemented in the form of racks, respectively.
  • the large-diameter pulley 14 and the small-diameter pulley 15 may be formed as separate members, respectively, wherein both the large-diameter pulley 14 and the small-diameter pulley 15 are interconnected by a retainer pin or the like so that they are supported on the supporting shaft 13 so as to corotate in union with each other. It is also possible to mount removably a pair of rotatable members on a rotatable shaft supported rotatably on the machine frame 8 so that the rotatable members can corotate in union. In this case, the ratio of the up/down-motion stroke between the ring rail 5 and the lappet holding angle bar 18 can be changed by replacing one of the pulleys or rotatable members by another one.
  • the line shaft 2 may be disconnected from the front roller of the spinning machine and rotationally driven by a reversible servo motor through a servo driver. Moreover, the input power from the front roller of the spinning machine and that of the reversible motor may be combined by a differential gear to thereby derive the driving power for the line shaft 2 from the differential gear.

  • the up/down-motion stroke of the lappet holding angle bar can be made variable even when that of the ring rail is constant, whereby possibility of the thread being broken can positively be suppressed to a minimum because the up/down-motion stroke of the lappet holding angle bar can be made small in the initial thread take-up phase.
  • the thread guide rail is constituted by a rail adapted to support or hold anti-node rings.

Except for this difference, operation of the up/down-motion apparatus according to the instant embodiment of the invention is substantially same as that of preceding embodiment. Accordingly, repetition of the description directed to the operation will be unnecessary. In this manner, the anti-node ring holding rail 26 can reciprocatively be moved upwardly and downwardly along appropriate paths from the start of the take-up operation to the end thereof nevertheless of simplified structure.
  • the apparatus for effectuating the up-and-down motion of the anti-node ring holding rail 26 by means of the ring rail 5 is not limited to the structure shown in Fig. 7 but is susceptible to the various modifications as in the case of the embodiment described hereinbefore in conjunction with Figs. 1 to 3. In this conjunction it will be sufficient to add that the term “lappet holding angle bar” be replaced by the term "anti-node ring holding rail” in the descriptions directed to the modifications of the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
  • the apparatus according to the instant embodiment may be modified such that the pinion 29 is so provided as to corotate with the first pulley 32 in union in place of the large-diameter pulley 32 for the lappet holding angle bar so that the rack 28 secured to the ring rail 5 in the state meshing with the pinion 29 can move in union with the ring rail 5.
  • the pinion 29 is positively rotated by way of the rack 29 as the ring rail 5 moves reciprocatively in the vertical direction.
  • the first pulley 32 is caused to move together with the ring rail 5 and the anti-node ring holding rail 26 in concurrence with the latter without fail even in the case where the anti-node ring holding rail 26 and the supporting pillar 37 are formed of a material of light weight.
  • Figure 9 shows yet another embodiment of the invention according to which both the lappet holding angle bar and the anti-node ring holding rail are caused to move reciprocatively in the vertical direction.
  • the up/down-motion apparatus according to the instant embodiment, not only the lappet holding angle bar 18 but also the anti-node ring holding rail 26 disposed in parallel with the ring rail 5 at an intermediate position between the ring rail 5 and the lappet holding angle bar 18 is caused to move reciprocatively in synchronism with the ring rail 5.
  • the up-and-down motion apparatus for driving the lappet holding angle bar and the anti-node ring holding rail by way of the ring rail 5 is not limited to the structure shown in Fig. 9 but susceptible to various modifications and changes as described hereinbefore in conjunction with Figs. 1 to 3 and Fig. 7. In that case, it is sufficient for understanding these modifications to read the term "lappet holding angle bar” or "anti-node ring holding rail” as "lappet holding angle bar and anti-node ring guide rail” in the descriptions made hereinbefore in conjunction with Figs. 1 to 3 and Fig. 7.
  • a poker pillar supporting a ring rail has a screw portion which is in screw thread engagement with a nut member supported rotatably on a frame of the spinning machine at a predetermined height position.
  • the nut member has an outer periphery formed integrally with a second toothed wheel meshing with the first toothed wheel.
  • An up/down-motion apparatus for the spinning machine includes a pulley of larger diameter and a pulley of smaller diameter both mounted corotatably on a supporting shaft supported on the machine frame, a first belt secured to the ring rail at a first end and the larger diameter pulley of large diameter at a second end, a thread guide rail mounted fixedly at a top end of a supporting pillar, a bracket mounted on the supporting pillar at a bottom end thereof, and a second belt having a first end secured to the smaller diameter pulley.
  • the thread guide rail is constituted by a lappet holding angle bar or an anti-node ring holding rail. Alternatively, both the lappet holding angle bar and the anti-node ring holding rail can be moved upwardly and downwardly.
