Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motorized head for processing threads, of the type defined in the preamble of Claim 1.
- Conventional machines for processing threads such as spinning machines, twisting machines, spiral covering machines, doubling machines, texturizing machines, winders, et cetera, use processing heads that have the purpose of supporting a spindle or spool of thread while the thread is wound up and subjected to twisting, spiral covering, doubling, or other similar operations.
- Each head is essentially formed by a fixed support for the spindle and by a rotating part that moves the thread at high speed, on the order of 15,000 rpm.
- the rotation is imparted by a single motor that transmits motion to a long row of heads, with rather antiquated transmission devices, such as for example annular belts that are placed in sliding contact with pulleys formed on the axis of the heads.
- the speed of the single motor of the machine is controlled by means of an adapted electric circuit.
- This arrangement has the advantage that if a power supply failure occurs, all the components decelerate in step and therefore do not produce tensions or breakages of the thread.
- the conventional machines produce a very high noise and have low mechanical efficiency.
- a machine of normal size can in fact have 100 to 300 heads driven simultaneously by these transmission devices, which are subject to considerable friction and impacts, and all together generate noise levels of up to 100 dB. Because of this, the assigned personnel must constantly wear protective earplugs or headsets, which however do not fully eliminate the risk of irreversible damage to the auditory system and often do not comply with health regulations.
- US-A-5,161,361 discloses a brushless motor-driven assembly for textile ring spinning frame comprising all the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- the motor of this known assembly is a variable reluctance motor without permanent magnets.
- EP-A-0 389 117 relates to a drive for a spindle of a textile machine or ring frame, also including all the features defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- the motor is of the variable reluctance type without permanent magnets thus involving the use of rotors of relatively large diameters and inertia.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbaks described above by providing a motorized head with rotating spindle, particularly for thread processing, that features low noise, high efficiency, low cost, and very compact size, minimizing the risk of breakage of threads during power supply transient caused by failure or gaps in the mains.
- a head of this type produces low noise because it avoids conventional-type transmission devices, and has low consumption because of the use of electrically highly efficient brushless motors.
- a head of this type also has a high precision due to the fact that it uses a separate control circuit.
- the present head overcomes the problem of lack of synchronization generated by power supply transients in the mains.
- the speed and power supply control circuit of the motor is a miniaturized frequency converter, built into the frame of the motor.
- the power supply current of the control circuit of the converter and the current that supplies power to the motor are both at low voltage, eliminating all risks for the assigned personnel.
- a head according to the invention comprises a hollow pivot 2 that acts as support for a spindle or reel 3 of thread and is open in an upper region to allow the passage of a thread 4.
- the lower part of spindle 3 is surrounded by a rotor 5 that has a hollow central shaft 6 that is connected to pivot 2 and to a radial hole 7 for the passage of thread 4.
- Shaft 6 of rotor 5 is directly coupled to an actuation motor 8.
- shaft 6 is formed monolithically from the shaft of motor 8.
- Motor 8 can be provided with studs 9 for anchoring the entire head to a supporting frame 10 of a thread processing machine, for example a twisting machine, so as to allow interchangeability of the head 1 with other heads of the same type.
- a frequency-variation speed converter 11 is associated with motor 8 to control the power supply and the speed of the motor, promptly adapting them, without any manual or mechanical actuation of the coupling to the motor, as a function of the type and thickness of the thread to be processed. It also ensures extremely accurate speed control, with an error of less than 1% with respect to the preset speed.
- converter 11 is miniaturized so that it is inserted and integrated in the frame of motor 8 and so as to be supplied together with it, achieving great compactness with respect to previous heads.
- Central unit 14 also internally comprises a closed-loop regulator circuit 17, using for example a P.I.D. regulator, which has the purpose of synchronizing the deceleration of the individual heads with the deceleration of the other devices associated with them if mains power fails; this circuit is of the type described and claimed in the Italian patent application No. VI95A000112 in the name of this same Applicant.
- a closed-loop regulator circuit 17 using for example a P.I.D. regulator, which has the purpose of synchronizing the deceleration of the individual heads with the deceleration of the other devices associated with them if mains power fails; this circuit is of the type described and claimed in the Italian patent application No. VI95A000112 in the name of this same Applicant.
