Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spulvorrichtung für Spulmaschinen, Fachmaschinen und Texturiermaschinen mit einem linear bewegten Fadenführer. Ein solche Spulvorrichtung mit einem Umlaufgetriebe ist aus der DE-A-34 17 716 bekannt.The invention relates to a winding device for winding machines, Specialist machines and texturing machines with a linear moving Thread guide. Such a winding device with a planetary gear is known from DE-A-34 17 716.

Bei Spulmaschinen werden vorwiegend Fadenführer eingesetzt. Es sind Schlitztrommelmaschinen oder Nutenwalzenmaschinen bekannt. Der Faden wird dabei direkt in den Nuten der Trommeln geführt. Diese bekannten Maschinen haben den Nachteil, daß der Fadenlauf relativ dicht an geschmierten Maschinenteilen erfolgt, wodurch es zu Verschmutzungen des Fadens kommen kann. Früher waren auch Spulmaschinen mit hin- und herbewegten Fadenführern im Einsatz, wobei die Linearbewegung über Exzenter erfolgte. Diese bekannten Maschinen waren jedoch in der Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit begrenzt.Thread guides are mainly used in winding machines. It slot drum machines or grooved roll machines are known. The thread is directly in the grooves of the drums guided. These known machines have the disadvantage that The thread runs relatively close to lubricated machine parts, which can lead to contamination of the thread. In the past, winding machines were also moved back and forth Thread guides in use, the linear movement via eccentric took place. However, these known machines were in the Processing speed limited.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Spulvorrichtung zu schaffen, die sowohl hohe Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten erlaubt als auch Verschmutzungen des Fadens vermeidet.The present invention has for its object a To create winding device that both high processing speeds allowed as well as contamination of the thread avoids.

Die Aufgabe wird mit einer Spulvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, die erfindungsgemäß gekennzeichnet ist durch ein Planetengetriebe mit dreifacher Übersetzung, das die Rotationsbewegung einer Antriebswelle in eine Linearbewegung des Fadenführers übersetzt. Durch die dreifache Übersetzung lassen sich sehr hohe Geschwindigkeiten für den Fadenführer erzielen. Durch das Getriebe, das zweckmäßigerweise formschlüssige Verbindungen aufweisen kann, ist außerdem für einen ausreichenden Abstand des Fadens von geschmierten Maschinenteilen gesorgt. Verschmutzungen sind daher bei der Spulvorrichtung nach der Erfindung nicht zu befürchten. Das Planetengetriebe kann dabei ein erstes, in einem Zahnkranz umlaufendes Planetenrad aufweisen, an dessen Drehachse ein Verlegearm drehbar gelagert ist, an dessen äußerem Ende ein weiterer, rotierend angetriebener Arm angeordnet ist, der den Fadenführer trägt. Im Gegensatz zu den bislang bekannten Exzenterantrieben sind hiermit wesentlich höhere Geschwindigkeiten des Fadenführers erreichbar. Dabei kann der zweite Arm über ein Zahnrad angetrieben sein, das am Verlegearm angeordnet und über einen Zahnriemen oder eine Zahnkette mit einem zweiten Planetenrad gekoppelt ist. Durch entsprechende Wahl der Übersetzungsverhältnisse der Zahnräder kann eine Steigerung der Geschwindigkeit des Fadenführers erzielt werden. Durch die drei Übersetzungsverhältnisse läßt sich außerdem vermeiden, daß der Fadenführer an seinen Umkehrpunkten unnötig lange stillsteht. Die beiden Planetenräder können zweckmäßigerweise außermittig auf einer von der Antriebswelle angetriebenen Scheibe drehbar angeordnet sein. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Planetenräder dabei koaxial und auf unterschiedlichen Seiten der Scheibe angeordnet. Der Antrieb der beiden Planetenräder kann dadurch mit geringem konstruktiven Aufwand und Platzbedarf erfolgen.The task is carried out with a winding device of the type mentioned Type solved, which is characterized according to the invention through a planetary gear with triple ratio, which the Rotational movement of a drive shaft in a linear movement the thread guide translated. Thanks to the triple translation very high speeds for the thread guide achieve. Through the gearbox, which is expediently positive Connections is also for one sufficient distance of the thread from lubricated machine parts worried. Soiling is therefore in the winding device not to be feared according to the invention. The planetary gear can be a first, rotating in a ring gear Have planet gear, on the axis of rotation a laying arm is rotatably mounted, at the outer end of another, rotatably driven arm is arranged, the thread guide wearing. In contrast to the previously known eccentric drives are hereby much higher speeds of the Thread guide accessible. The second arm can be over one Gear driven, which is arranged on the laying arm and via a toothed belt or a tooth chain with a second one Planet gear is coupled. By choosing the appropriate gear ratios the gears can increase the Speed of the thread guide can be achieved. Through the three gear ratios can also be avoided, that the thread guide at its reversal points is unnecessarily long stands still. The two planet gears can expediently off-center on one driven by the drive shaft Disc can be rotatably arranged. These are advantageously Planet gears coaxial and on different sides arranged the disc. The drive of the two planet gears can be done with little design effort and space respectively.

Der Aufbau oberhalb des Verlegearms 17 ist der Detailansicht nach Fig. 3 zu entnehmen. Oberhalb des Verlegearmes 17 ist ein weiterer Arm 18 um eine Achse 19 drehbar angeordnet. Dieser Arm 18 trägt an seinem äußeren Ende einen Fadenführer 20. Der Arm 18 ist über eine Welle 21 mit einem Zahnrad 30 gekoppelt, das in eine Hülse 31 eingreift. Die Hülse 31 ist auf einem Fortsatz des Verlegearms 17 drehbar gelagert. Die Hülse ist nach oben durch einen Deckel 32 abgedeckt, der über ein Gelenkstück 33 fest mit einer Welle 21 verbunden ist, die von einem Zahnrad 22 angetrieben wird. Das Zahnrad 22 wiederum wird über einen Zahnriemen 24 von einem mit der Scheibe 12 fest verbundenen Planetenrad 23 angetrieben (Fig. 1). 1 has a drive shaft 11 on, which is fixedly connected to a disc 12. On the Underside of the disk 12 is a first planet gear 13 off-center and rotatably supported about an axis 14. The planet gear 13 rotates on an internal ring gear 15, which on a fixed disc 16 is arranged. On the planet gear 13 is a laying arm 17 also rotatably supported about the axis 14. The structure above the laying arm 17 is the detailed view 3. Above the laying arm 17 is a Another arm 18 is arranged rotatable about an axis 19. This Arm 18 carries a thread guide 20 at its outer end Arm 18 is coupled via a shaft 21 to a gearwheel 30, that engages in a sleeve 31. The sleeve 31 is on one Extension of the laying arm 17 rotatably mounted. The sleeve is covered at the top by a cover 32, which has a hinge piece 33 is fixedly connected to a shaft 21 which of a gear 22 is driven. The gear 22 in turn is via a toothed belt 24 by one with the pulley 12th firmly connected planet gear 23 driven (Fig. 1).

Fig. 2 zeigt die Anordnung nach Fig. 1 in der Draufsicht. Zu erkennen ist die Scheibe 12 oberhalb des Innenzahnkranzes 15 in dem das Zahnrad 13 umläuft. Ebenso ist das zweite Planetenrad 23 zu erkennen, das das Zahnrad 22 antreibt. Ebenfalls zu erkennen ist der Deckel 32 der Hülse 31 in dem der Arm 18 drehbar gelagert ist, an dem wiederum der Fadenführer 20 drehbar gelagert ist. Der Fadenführer 20 wird über einen in Fig. 4 gezeigten Nutstein 25 in einer Schiene 26 geführt.Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of FIG. 1 in plan view.
