Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lifting control method and a lifting device of a spinning machine such as a ring spinning frame, a ring twister and the like, and more specifically, to a lifting control method and a lifting device of a spinning machine in which a lifting drive system is driven by a motor different from that used for a roller part and spindle drive system.

  • a device arranged such that a lifting drive system is driven by a motor different from that used for a roller part and spindle drive system so that the amount the ring rail is lifted and lowered each time and each winding amount thereof can be easily changed.
  • the moment of inertia of the roller part and the spindle drive system is greatly different from that of the lifting drive system and the moment of inertia of the lifting drive system is considerably smaller than that of the spindle drive system.

Further, also input from the input device 32 is the reference position LS of the ring rail 11 which is used to determine the rotational direction of the second drive motor 28 in power failure.
  • the CPU 40 calculates the position of the ring rail 11 based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 26 when the spinning frame starts up and thereafter calculates the amount of movement and position of the ring rail 11 based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 33. That is, although the absolute type rotary encoder 26 is used to confirm the position of the ring rail 11 when the spinning frame starts up, it is not used in operation. In ordinary operation, the CPU 40 calculates the timing at which the ring rail 11 is reversed which serves as the lifting condition input through the input device 32 based on the amount of movement and position of the ring rail 11 and controls the first drive motor 19 through the servo driver 31 so that the ring rail 11 and the like execute a predetermined lifting/lowering motion.
  • the CPU 40 determines the rotational direction of the second drive motor 28 based on the position of the ring rail 11 when power failure occurs. That is, the CPU 40 outputs a control signal for rotating the second drive motor 28 so that the lifting drive system is driven in the direction to lower the ring rail 11 when the position of the ring rail 11 is above the reference position at the time of power failure and in the direction to lift the driving shaft 11 when the position of the ring rail 11 is below the reference position.

  • spinning condition data such as the number of rotation of the spindle, the spinning length, the chase length and the like in spinning operation is input through the input device 32 prior to the operation of the spinning frame.
  • the reference position data of the ring rail 11 necessary to determine the rotational direction of the second drive motor 28 in power failure is input through the input device 32.
  • the reference position L s is, for example, the lower limit position of the region of a bobbin 49 where yarn is not wound to its reduced-diameter portion 51 under its barrel portion 50 shown in FIG. 4 when the ring rail 11 is lowered from the reference position in the occurrence of power failure.
  • the main motor M and the first drive motor 19 are driven in response to a command from the controller 30.
  • the line shafts 10 are rotated through the rotary shafts 17, 21, the worms 23 and the like, so that the nut bodies 16 are rotated through the screw gears 14. Then, the porker pillars 15 meshed with the nut bodies 16 are lifted or lowered to thereby lift or lower the ring rail 11 and the like.
  • the first drive motor 19 is driven forward, the ring rail 11 and the like are moved upward, whereas when it is driven rearward, they are moved downward. Yarn fed from the front rollers 8 is wound around a bobbin through a snell wire and a traveler.
  • the CPU 40 calculates the position of the ring rail 11 when the spinning frame starts based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 26 and corrects the reference position of the rotary encoder 33 based on the value of the calculated position. Then, the CPU 40 calculates the amount of movement and position of the ring rail 11 based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 33 mounted on the first drive motor 19 during operation.
  • the CPU 40 controls the first drive motor 19 through the servo driver 31 so that the rotational direction thereof is changed when the ring rail 11 moves a distance corresponding a previously input lifting or lowering amount per chase.
  • the main motor M, the first drive motor 19 and the like are deenergized and they are idly rotated.
  • the power supply switching unit 36 is operated based on the power failure detecting signal from the power failure detecting means 38 so that the electric power supplied to the second drive motor 28, the electromagnetic clutch 29, the controller 30 and the rotary encoders 7, 26, 33 is switched to the battery 37. Since the battery 37 is sufficiently charged through the charger 39 while electric power is supplied thereto without the occurrence of power failure, the electric power required by the second drive motor 28, the controller 30 and the like in power failure can be securely supplied thereto. Therefore, the second drive motor 28, the electromagnetic clutch 29, the controller 30 and the rotary encoder 7, 26, 33 normally function in power failure.
  • the CPU 40 controls the second drive motor 28 and the electromagnetic clutch 29 according to a stop due to power failure program. That is, the CPU 40 calculates the position L 0 of the ring rail 11 in the occurrence of power failure based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 33 at step S1 and magnetizes the electromagnetic clutch 29 at step S2. Next, the CPU 40 compares the position L 0 of the ring rail 11 in the occurrence of power failure with the reference position L s at step S3.
  • step S4 when the position L 0 of the ring rail 11 is higher than the reference position L s (L 0 > L s ), the process goes to step S4 and outputs a control signal for lowering the ring rail 11 to the servo driver 31 and when the position L 0 of the ring rail 11 is equal to or lower than the reference position L s (L 0 ⁇ L s ), the CPU 40 goes to step S5 and outputs a control signal for lifting the ring rail 11 to the servo driver 31, respectively.
  • the ring rail 11 is moved by the second drive motor 28 in a predetermined direction at a speed slower than that in ordinary operation.
  • the CPU 40 determines the operating state of the draft part and spindle drive system, that is, the idly rotational state thereof based on the signal output from the rotary encoder 7. More specifically, the CPU 40 calculates the idly rotational speed of the spindle drive system at step S6 and determines whether the idly rotational speed is equal to or less than a predetermined speed or not at step S7. The idle rotation of the spindle drive system is gradually reduced and the spindle drive system will be stopped soon.
  • the CPU 40 goes to step S8 when the spindle drive system is approximately stopped, that is, when the idly rotational speed calculated at step S6 is made lower than the predetermined speed and outputs a signal for stopping the second drive motor 28 as well as outputs a signal for demagnetizing the electromagnetic clutch 29 and finishes a series of control.
  • the driving force to the lifting drive system is shut off to thereby stop the system and the spindle drive system is also stopped a little later.
  • the spindle drive system is stopped a little later after the lifting drive system is stopped, since the spindle 3 rotates less than until the spindle drive system is stopped after the lifting drive system is stopped, there is no difficulty even if the lifting drive system is stopped prior to the spindle drive system.
  • the distance the ring rail 11 moves during the time is also different depending upon the spinning conditions.
  • the ring rail 11 simply continues to move in a given direction from the occurrence of power failure, the ring rail 11 may move up to a position which exceeds the yarn winding region of the bobbin 49 depending upon the spinning conditions and the position of the ring rail 11 in the occurrence of power failure.
  • hindrance is caused when the spinning frame is restarted after the power failure is recovered or when yarn is rewound in a winder process.
  • the ring rail 11 may move upward of a top punch winding position when doffing is stopped.
  • a disadvantage occurs when power failure occurs in the state that yarn is wound in a small amount in the condition that the moving direction of the ring rail 11 is limited to a lowering direction. That is, when power failure occurs at the time yarn is wound in a very small amount and the ring rail 11 is located at a position near to its lowering end, the ring rail 11 may move downward of the yarn winding region of the bobbin 49. Further, as shown in FIG.
  • the bobbin 49 formed by filling building has the reduced-diameter portion 51, where its diameter is reduced downward, formed under the so-called the barrel portion 50 where a portion of predetermined diameter is continuously formed. Therefore, even after a certain amount of wound yarn is secured, when power failure occurs at the time the length of the barrel portion 50 of the bobbin 49 is short, the ring rail 11 may move to a position corresponding to the reduced-diameter portion 51 under the barrel portion 50 and yarn may be wound around the reduced-diameter portion 51.
  • the yarn is wound around the reduced-diameter portion 51 after the formation of the barrel portion 50, the yarn is often difficult to be rewound in a winder process.
  • the rotational direction of the second drive motor 28, that is, the moving direction of the ring rail 11 in power failure is determined based on the position of the ring rail 11 when the power failure occurs, the yarn which is wound around the bobbin 49 while the idle rotation of the spindle drive system continues in the power failure is securely wound to a position where the above disadvantage is not caused.
  • the CPU 40 calculates the position of the ring rail 11 from the rotary encoder 26.
  • the CPU 40 controls the first drive motor 19 to continue the lifting/lowering motion interrupted by the occurrence of the power failure after the ring rail 11 is moved to the position where it is reversed to a lifting motion in the chase motion next to the chase motion when the power failure occurs.

Further, the rotation of the rotary shaft 8a is transmitted to a middle bottom roller and a back bottom roller (both not shown) which constitute the draft part through a gear train 9b (shown in FIG. 6).
  • a controller 30 includes a central processing unit 40 (hereinafter, referred to as a CPU) 40 as control means and arithmetic operation means, memory devices 41, 42 and input/output interfaces 43, 44 and controls the main motor M, the lifting motor 19, a motor 28 used in power failure, an electromagnetic clutch 29 and the like according to a program stored in the memory device.
  • An input device 32 for inputting spinning conditions and the like is connected to the controller 30. Signals output from rotary encoders 7, 33, 26 and power failure detecting means 38 (see FIG. 2) are input to the controller 30.
  • the modification is different from the above embodiment in that coutermeasure means against power failure which is different from that of the above embodiment is disposed on a gear end side. Therefore, the modification also has the effect of the above item (a). Note, although elements 6, 30, 31, 32, 37 etc. are omitted in FIG. 7, the modification includes them likewise.
  • the rotation transmission means 70 includes a gear transmission mechanism 72 capable of transmitting the rotation of a rotary shaft 71 disposed in parallel with line shafts 10 to both of them (only the line shaft 10 on one side is shown), a rotary shaft 73 to which the rotation of a driving shaft 1 is transmitted through a gear train and a belt transmission mechanism 75 interposed between an end of the rotary shaft 73 and the rotary shaft 71 of a gear transmission mechanism 74.
  • the gear transmission mechanism 74 is coupled with both the line shafts 10 through bevel gears 76, 77 in place of that it is coupled therewith through worms and worm wheels.
  • the belt transmission mechanism 75 transmits the rotation of the rotary shaft 73 to the rotary shaft 71 when an electromagnetic clutch 78 disposed to the rotary shaft is magnetized.
  • the electromagnetic clutch 78 is energized by a battery 37 in power failure and the magnetization/ demagnetization of it is controlled in response to the control signal from a controller 30.
  • the electromagnetic clutch 78 Since the electromagnetic clutch 78 is kept to a demagnetized state in an ordinary state (no power failure occurs), the rotation of the spindle drive system is not transmitted to the lifting drive system while a spinning frame is in operation. When power failure occurs, the main motor M and the lifting motor 19 are idly rotated. The electromagnetic clutch 78 is magnetized in response to the magnetizing signal from the controller 30 and the rotation of the driving shaft 1 is transmitted to the lifting drive system through the rotation transmission mechanism 70. Therefore, while the electromagnetic clutch 78 is kept to the magnetized state, the lifting drive system is driven in synchronism with the spindle drive system and the ring rail 11 is moved in one direction.
  • the controller 30 calculates the position of the ring rail 11 based on the signal output from a rotary encoder 33 and stops the lifting drive system by outputting a demagnetizing signal to the electromagnetic clutch 78 when the ring rail 11 moves up to the limit of the winding range of the bobbin even before the idle rotation of the spindle drive system is approximately stopped. Therefore, yarn is not wound to a position exceeding the winding range of the bobbin while the spindle drive system is idly rotated. Further, since a motor 28 used in power failure is not necessary, a power consumption is reduced.
  • a draft part drive system is driven by a motor different from that of a spindle drive system and the motor for the draft part drive system and the control means thereof are disposed to the same side end (out end 61) as that where a main motor and the like are disposed.
  • a plurality (two sets in this embodiment) of drive motors for arbitrarily changing a draft ratio that is, a first draft motor 80 for driving a front bottom roller and a second draft motor 81 for driving a middle bottom roller and other rollers following the middle bottom roller.
  • Both the draft rollers 80, 81 are composed of servo motors which are controlled by a controller 30 through a servo driver (not shown).
  • a rotary encoder (not shown) is provided with each of both the draft motors 80, 81 to feed back the operating state of the draft part drive system.
  • the controller, the spindle drive system and a lifting drive system are arranged likewise those of the embodiment show in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. As to these elements, refer to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a belt transmission mechanism 82 for transmitting the rotation of a driving shaft 1 to the rotary shaft 8a of the front bottom roller 8 in power failure and a rotation transmission mechanism 83 for transmitting the rotation of the rotary shaft 8a to the middle bottom roller and the other rollers following it in power failure.
  • An electromagnetic clutch (not shown) to be connected in power failure is disposed to each of the belt transmission mechanism 82 and the rotation transmission mechanism 83, so that the rotation of the driving shaft 1 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 8a and the rotation of the rotary shaft 8a is transmitted to the middle bottom roller and the other rollers following it only when the power failure occurs.
  • the embodiment can simply change a draft ratio by changing the rotational speed ratio of both the draft motors 80, 81 without the need of the troublesome replacement of a change gear.
  • Both the draft motors 80, 81 are controlled by the controller 30 disposed on out end 61 side likewise other motors. Consequently, since it is difficult for a disturbance to be mixed with the signals output from the controller 30 to control both the draft motors 80, 81 and the feedback signal input to the controller 30, the draft part drive system can be precisely driven by a simple control.
  • the draft part drive system is connected to the spindle drive system and driven in synchronism with each other until the idle rotation of the spindle drive system is stopped, the snap of yarn caused by the excessive draft of rough yarn can be prevented.
  • Two sets of lifting and lowering gear trains are interposed between both the rotary shafts 71, 73 as the rotation transmission mechanism 70 disposed on the gear end side as well as an electromagnetic clutch is provided with each of the gear trains. Then, the direction in which the ring rail 11 is moved is determined based on the position of the ring rail 11 in the occurrence of power failure likewise the above embodiment and the electromagnetic clutch corresponding to it is magnetized.
  • the yarn to be wound during the idle rotation of the spindle drive system is wound around a bobbin in the state that it is prevented from being snapped when the spinning frame is restarted and the rewinding of the yarn in a winder process is not hindered regardless of the amount of yarn which has wound around the bobbin when power failure occurs.
  • both the draft motors 80, 81 may be feedback controlled by the controller 30 based on the rotational speed of the spindle drive system in power failure. In this case, since the draft part drive system can be rotated at a draft ratio corresponding to spinning conditions in power failure, no irregularity of thickness is caused to spun yarn.
  • the draft part may be driven by a single draft motor.
  • the change of a draft ratio requires the replacement of a change gear, no change gear is necessary to change the number of twists.
  • a lifting drive system When power failure occurs, a lifting drive system is operated by a simple arrangement with a power consumption smaller than that in ordinary operation until the idle rotation of a spindle drive system is approximately stopped.
  • the draft part and spindle drive system is driven by a main motor (M) through a driving shaft (1).
  • the lifting drive system is independent of the draft part and spindle drive system and driven by a first drive motor (19) in ordinary operation and when power failure occurs, it is driven by a second drive motor (28) which can be driven with a power consumption smaller than that of the first drive motor. Electric power is supplied to the second drive motor (28) and a controller (30) from a battery (37) in the power failure and the controller (30) controls the second drive motor (28) until the idle rotation of the spindle drive system is approximately stopped.
  • Yarn is wound around a bobbin in the state that it does not cause a hindrance when a spinning machine is restarted and the rewinding of the yarn in a winder process is not hindered.
