Definitions
- the present invention relates to an auto winder that reduces the hairiness around the surface of spun yarn when the yarn is rewound.
- a winder that controls the hairiness of spun yarn by providing the yarn with a false twist through a pair of soft, barrel-shaped rotating drums positioned so as to intersect and form a nip point in the yarn path is disclosed in Patent Laying Open No. Heisei 8-188332.
- the rotation speed of the soft, barrel-shaped rotating drums in this kind of conventional winder is limited, and the winder thus has difficulty winding at speeds over 1000m/minute.
- the pair of rotating drums that nip the yarn and provide the false twist function as a kind of feed roller that actively feeds out the yarn at a fixed speed, they pose problems for winders that form a cone package wherein the yarn speed must differ at the opposite ends of the wound package.
- the present invention comprises 1) an auto winder that unwinds yarn which has been wound around a supply bobbin and rewinds it into a wound package, said auto winder provided with a friction disk-type false twisting device located in the yarn path between the supply bobbin and the wound package, 2) a control member provided with a surface that comes into contact with the yarn and positioned on the supply bobbin side of the friction disk-type false twisting device, 3) said control member composed from a capsule tensor and a holding member which holds the tensor capsule, and 4) a friction disk in which at least the outer circumference that comes into contact with the yarn is made out of ceramics.
- the present invention is provided with a hairiness control member formed as a capsule member and a container member which comprises a movable holding member that holds the top part of the capsule; 6) is provided with a balloon control tube that can move the moveable holding member; and 7) during a threading operation, creates an air current in an upward direction to the hairiness control member such that the capsule member is floated upwards inside the hairiness control member.
- FIG. 1 is an outline of a frontal view of an auto winder according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a lateral cross-section diagram of a hairiness control member arranged in an auto winder according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is an outline of a diagonal cross-section of the hairiness control member arranged in an auto winder according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a lateral cross-section diagram of a hairiness control member when it is inside a balloon control member, said hairiness control member arranged an auto winder according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 a third vertical shaft with attached friction disks, located in the middle behind the two vertical shafts 4a shown in the diagram, has been omitted.
- the false-twisting device is arranged such that by rotating the three vertical shafts in the same direction, yarn y, which snakes zig-zag-like between the friction disks 4b, is imparted a false twist.
- the outer surface of friction disc 4b which contacts the yarn y should preferably be comprised of low-friction materials like ceramics in order to prevent hariness.
- 5 is an automatic yarn-splicing device
- 6 is a yarn clearer
- 7 is a traverse drum
- 8 is a cone-shaped wound package.
- the type of wound package 8 is not limited to cone packages; it is also possible to wind yarn y into a cheese package, or various other types of packages, as well.
- These parts are arranged in an auto winder, from the supply bobbin 1 to the wound package 8 in the following order: the balloon control tube 2, the hairiness control member 3, the friction disk-type false twisting device 4, the auto yarn-splicing device 5, the yarn clearer 6, and the traverse drum 7.
- the yarn clearer 6 is an air ejection nozzle arranged below the supply bobbin 1, and functions, by discharging air from air ejection nozzle 9, to blow the tip of yarn y inserted inside the hole of newly supplied supply bobbin 1 upwards toward the hairiness control member 3. It should also be noted that the yarn clearer 6 may be positioned in front of the automatic yarn-splicing device 5, in reverse of the order indicated in FIG. 1.
- the hairiness control member 3 which comprises capsule member C and container member S that houses the capsule member C, and is positioned on the supply bobbin 1 side of the friction disk-type false twisting device 4, will be explained.
- s1 is an outer tube provided with a flange section s2 on the upper end, and into the lower end of which the small-diameter upper end section s5 of yarn guiding member s4, in which tapered yarn guide hole s3 which gradually widens in a descending direction is formed, fits and is engaged. Further, slit s6 which extends to the upper end of outer tube s1 is formed in flange section s2. s7 is a tubular holding member provided with tapered hole s8 that widens as it extends in an upward direction, and which is inserted into outer tube s1.
- Moveable holding member s9 is a vertically moveable holding member inserted into slit s6 formed in the above-described outer tube s1 and flange s2.
- Moveable holding member s9 is comprised of beam-shaped stopper s10 of which said beam is slightly longer than the outer radius of the outer tube s1, and more-or-less tubular shaped holding tube s11 which is affixed to about the center of stopper s10.
- the inner yarn passage s15 inside the holding tube s11 is comprised of tapered opening s12 which widens as it extends in a downward direction, tubular opening s13 which is located below and connects to the large diameter section of tapered opening s12 above, and tubular opening s14 which is located above and connects to the small diameter section of tapered opening s12 below.
- s16 is an air hole opened in a vertical direction and running between the guiding member s4 and the flange section s2 of outer tube s1.
- Lateral air hole s17, opened in flange section s2 and connected to air hole s16, is provided with a pipe that is connected to high pressure air supply source (not shown in the diagram).
- lateral air hole s18, opened in guiding member s4 and connecting to air hole s16 is provided with exit hole s18' which exits facing in the direction of capsule member C held in container member S.
- Capsule member C comprises an upper capsule body c1 and lower capsule body c2 which fit one inside the other, and a coiled spring (elastic member) c3 which applies force in opposing directions against upper capsule body c1 and lower capsule body c2.
- Upper capsule body c1 and lower capsule body c2 are arranged so as to be able to slide against each other, and the upper end of upper capsule body c1 and the lower end of lower capsule body c2 each form hemispheres.
- Capsule member C is contained inside the outer tube s1 of the container member S.
- the lower part of the lower capsule body c2 is inserted into the holding member s7 on the inside of outer tube s1 formed by tapered hole s8.
- moveable holding member s9 is inserted into slit s6 which is formed in outer tube s1 and flange section s2 such that the tapered hole s12 and the tubular hole s13 that form the inner yarn path s15 of the holding member s11 the top part of capsule member C.
- the capsule member C contained inside the outer tube s1 of the container member S is formed such that the holding member s6 and holding member s9 inserted inside the slit s6 fit into each other and engage inside outer tube s1.
- capsule member C contained inside container member S on the inside of outer tube s1 is held by holding member s7, which itself is engaged with the inside of outer tube s1, and moveable holding member s9 which in turn is inserted inside slit s6.
- a curved interstice is formed between the outer surface of capsule member C and the moveable holding member s9, and between the outer surface of capsule member C and the inner surface of outer tube s1 such that the yarn is able to pass through.
- Capsule member C which is stored inside the container member S on the inside of outer tube s1 is arranged such that moveable member s9 which is inserted into slit s6 and holding member s7 engaged with the inside of outer tube s1, functions to compress coil spring c3 which is arranged between the upper capsule body c1 and the lower capsule body c2. Consequentially, the lower part of lower capsule body c2 comes into contact with the slanted surface s7' formed by tapered hole s8 of the holding member s7 which itself is engaged with the inside of outer tube s1. Further, the upper part of the upper capsule body c1 comes into contact with the slanted surface s12' formed by tapered hole s12 of moveable holding member s9 of holding member s11.
- Yarn y is led from tapered yarn guide hole s3 of yarn guiding member s4, between the slanted surface s7' which is formed in the hole s8 of the holding member s7 and the bottom of the lower capsule body c2 of the capsule C which is in contact with the slanted Surface s7' through the weight of the coil spring arranged inside the capsule member C and the weight of the capsule member C itself.
- the yarn y passes the tubular passage 10, and then between the upper part of the upper capsule body c1 of capsule member C which is in contact with the slanted surface s12' of hole s12 formed in the moveable holding member s9 of holding member s11, said contact induced by means of coil spring c3 arranged inside the capsule member C, and slanted surface s12' .
- the yarn is then passed out above moveable holding member s9.
- the yarn y drawn out from supply bobbin 1 passes through the balloon control tube 2 and the hairiness control member 3, and supplied to the friction disk-type false twisting device 4 located above the hairiness control member 3. After passing through the hairiness control member 3, the yarn is then passed through the yarn-splicing device 5 and the yarn clearer 6, and is wound into a package 8 as it is traversed by way of traverse drum 7.
- the running yarn is imparted a false twist which spreads downwardly from the false twisting device 4.
- the hairiness control member 3 meaning that the hairiness control device 3 also functions as a twist transmission-stopping member
- Hairiness is thus prevented through the imparting of a false twist to yarn y, whereby the hairiness on the surface of yarn Y is twisted into the yarn.
- Moveable holding member s9 at the point where it is not pulled completely out of slit 6, after moveable holding member s9 is lifted, stops the rise of balloon control tube 2. Thereby, the lifting of moveable holding member s9 causes an interstice to be formed between the slanted surface s12' of the tapered hole s12 of the holding tube s11 of the moveable holding member s9 and the upper capsule body c1 of capsule C such that the yarn y can pass through.
- the air ejection nozzle 9 arranged below the supply bobbin 1 is activated, causing the end of the yarn which has been inserted into the hole of the supply bobbin 1 to be blown upwards from the top of the hole of the supply bobbin 1 .
- a high-pressure air supply (not shown in the diagram)
- air is ejected from exit hole s18' in the direction of the capsule member C, thus creating an upward air current inside hairiness control member 3.
- the yarn blown upwards from the top hole of supply bobbin 1 is passed through the interstice between the bottom of the lower capsule body c2 of the capsule member C which is floated up by the high pressured air, and the slanted surface s7' of the holding member s7 inserted in outer tube s1.
- the yarn is then passed through the tubular passage 10 and then through the interstice formed between the slanted surface s12' of the tapered hole s12 formed in the holding tube s11 of the moveable holding member s9, and the upper capsule body c1 of the capsule member C.
- the yarn then is drawn out of the top of the hairiness control member 3, completing the passage.
- yarn passage through the hairiness control member 3 occurs by the supply of high pressured air from the high pressured air supply source (not shown) through the air ejection hole s19 opening into the container member S, but the air supplied through air ejection hole s19 can be low pressure air, and by creating an upward flow of air at the the tubular passage 10 of hairiness control member 3, fluff that has collected in the hairiness control device 3 can still be removed.
- the embodiment described above is arranged such that the balloon control tube 2 is raised into the moveable holding member s9 when a new supply bobbin 1 is supplied, but the present invention can also be arranged such that the moveable holding member s9 is raised without the balloon control tube 2 being raised, using a completely separate mechanism, like a lever member.
- the present invention it is possible to reduce, and eliminate the hairiness of spun yarn wrapped into a package. Further, the present invention enables a cone package to be wound at high speeds (above 1000m/ minute) while still preventing hairiness, and without negatively effecting the winding process. Still further, the friction disk-type false twisting device allows for easy yarn threading, which permits automatic yarn splicing. Further still, the present invention enables the yarn tension to be controlled without the need for providing a separate yarn tensor.
- the present invention allows for the effective reduction of hairiness. Further, a third aspect of the present invention allows for the hairiness to be even more effectively reduced at high winding speeds, and yarn threading during yarn splicing is made easier. A fourth aspect of the present invention allows for high speed winding.
- the capsule member Since the capsule member is held by the moveable holding member, by moving the movable holding member when the yarn is passed through the hairiness control member, moving the capsule member becomes easy, and consequentially, the passing of the yarn through the hairiness control member is accomplished rapidly and reliably.
- the moveable holding member is moved by the balloon control tube, it is unnecessary to supply a special separate moving device, and it becomes possible to move the moveable holding member when the yarn is passed through the hairiness control member.
- the capsule When yarn is passed through the hairiness control member, by creating an air flow in an upward direction through the inside of the hairiness control member, the capsule is forced to float upwards, creating an interstice inside the hairiness control member through which the yarn can pass. Consequentially, it is possible to automate the passage of yarn through the hairiness control member. Furthermore, using this air flow, clearance of the fluff accumulated inside the hairiness control device whenever the supply bobbin is changed is enabled, allowing for cleaning of the hairiness control member each time, and reliably preventing decrease in the machine's performance.
