  • the suction opening (10b) of the suction pipe (10a) of the yarn suction member (10) is arranged so that it is positioned between the clamp cutter (9a) moved to the aforementioned operating position and the winding package (4).
  • the clamp cutter (9a) of the clamp cutter member (9) is operated and cuts the yarn (2) picked up by the yarn pick-up member (8) while gripping the yarn end (2e) of the yarn supply package (1, 1A) side produced after cutting.
  • the cut yarn end (2d) of the winding package (4) side is sucked into the suction pipe (10a) from the suction opening (10b).
  • the yarn pick-up member (8) returns to the stand-by position as shown in Figure 2(A) and the coupling of the yarn pick-up member (8) and the yarn end (2d) is released.
  • the traverse drum (3) reverse rotates and the full package (4) reverse rotates (rotation in the unwinding direction) until the joint (2c) wound into the last wound part of the full package (4) is sucked up by the dust box (10c) of the yarn suction member (10).
  • This reverse rotation time of the full package (4) may be controlled by the reverse rotation count of the traverse drum (3) or the reverse rotation time of the traverse drum (3) as the position of the joint (2c) wound onto the last wound part of the full package (4) is approximately uniform.
  • a joint detection sensor may be arranged on the entrance (10c') or the like of the dust box (10c) and the rotation of the traverse drum (3) may be stopped when that joint detection sensor detects the joint (2c).
  • the shutter/cutter (not shown in the drawing) positioned at the entrance (10c') of the dust box (10c) is operated and cuts the yarn (2) sucked into the dust box (10c) while the suction operation of the suction pipe (10a) stops.
  • (10d) is a publicly known air suction device arranged at some point along the suction pipe (10a).
  • the traverse drum (3) is operated and due to the rotation of the winding package (4) in the winding direction, the yarn (2) remaining in the suction pipe (10a) or the like is wound onto the full package (4) and afterwards the rotation of the traverse drum (3) stops.
  • the cradle arm that supports the full package (4) opens and doffing of the full package (4) is carried out.
  • the full package (4) is ejected from the winding position and as shown in Figure 3(A), a winding tube (5) is positioned between the gripping plates (11a,11b) of the cradle arm.
  • the clamp cutter (9a) of the clamp cutter member (9) that grips the yarn end (2e) of the yarn (2) at the supply yarn package (1,1A) is moved to above the aforementioned winding tube (5) and the yarn end (2e) by the clamp cutter (9a) is positioned between one edge (5a) of the winding tube (5) and one gripping plate (11b) of the cradle arm.
  • the gripping plates (11a,11b) of the cradle arm are brought together and the yarn end (2e) gripped by the clamp cutter (9a) is trapped by one edge (5a) of the winding tube (5) and one gripping plate (11b) of the cradle arm.
  • the doffing device (D) moves to the stand-by position or to the next winding unit (W) when a doffing operation is required.
  • the joint wound onto the full package (4) may be removed from the winding package (4) and a winding package can be formed with no joint (2c) in a fixed position of the last wound part. Further, removal of the joint (2c) part also means removal of part of the yarn of the next supply yarn package (1A) in the case of Figure 6. Accordingly, there is no winding of the yarn of the next supply yarn package (1A) on the winding package (4). Furthermore, more yarn of the last wound part than the joint (2c) is removed.
  • a predetermined amount of the yarn of the last wound part of the winding package (4) in short, until the yarn of the innermost layer of the supply yarn package (1A) is unwound, may be removed by the winding yarn suction guide means (SP).

  • the doffing device (D) is modified so that the yarn end of the supply yarn package (1,1A) may be directly gripped by the doffing device (D) close to the supply yarn package (1,1A), it is no longer necessary to join the yarn from the supply yarn package (1,1A) to the winding package (4) before doffing. Accordingly, if the yarn of the last wound part of the winding package (4) is removed by the winding yarn suction guide means (SP), it is no longer necessary to arrange a suction means such as the suction member (10) or the like on the doffing device (D). In this case, it is preferable not to allow yarn piecing after a joint has been formed.
  • the doffing device (D) is arranged so that it runs in front of the winding units (W) of the auto-winder along a rail (12) arranged in the ceiling or the like. Wheels (d1) that contact with the rail (12) are arranged on the doffing device (D).
  • (10c) is the previously described dust box (10c) that stores yarn waste such as joints (2c) wound on the last wound part of the full package (4).

  • An air suction device (14) provided with a filter is positioned in the side box (13).
  • (15) is a connector plate positioned on one side of the auto-winder and a hole (15a) is bored in the connector plate (15).
  • the rear surface on which is positioned the hole (15a) of the connector plate (15) and the air suction device (14) are connected by a duct (16).
  • (17) is a butterfly shutter of which the front elevation is V-shaped, which is positioned on the front surface of the connector plate (15) and is arranged so that it is able to swivel to the left and right about a shaft (18).
  • the butterfly shutter (17) normally slants to the left as shown in Figure 4 so that the right side (17a) of the butterfly shutter (17) closes the hole (15a) bored in the connector plate (15).
  • a hole (19) is bored on the rear side of the dust box (10c) and a pipe (20) is connected to that hole (19).
  • the present invention having a construction as described above demonstrates the following advantages.
  • the yarn monitor may make erroneous detections thus stopping monitoring of a yarn by the yarn monitor. Due to this, yarn defects may exist in the last wound part but the present invention is able to remove these defects.
