Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for detecting foreign substances and foreign fibers in a fiber composite.
  • EP 0 744 478 describes a device for foreign fiber detection on one Known opening machine with which fibers in a fiber opening line on color deviations be examined by means of color sensors. This happens in the area of an opening roller, where the fibers lie or rest on the opening roller in a very loose bond.
  • WO 93/13407 describes a method for recognizing foreign fibers in a moving one Known yarn in which light is thrown onto the yarn at a fixed location and several sensors record the reflected and the transmitted light.
  • a sliver monitoring device that does the job has to detect a sliver break and the transport movement of the belt is detected by a sensor.
  • a test device is known from GB 1 211 463 with which foreign fibers can be combined in one in the laboratory Can recognize band of fibers.
  • the tape is flattened and fanned out, so that it only forms a comparatively thin layer that shines through can be.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, therefore solves the problem Foreign matter and foreign fibers in a fiber composite in the current production then capture if, on the one hand, they are distracting due to their concentration can and if they are not already processed in a finished product.
  • the detection can be carried out by capacitive or optical sensors take place, whose signals are evaluated accordingly. For example, that the signal from a capacitive sensor is not examined for deviations is how they cause tape weight fluctuations, but after deviations like they are typical for foreign fibers, foreign substances, etc.
  • the signals are evaluated so that, for example, deviations in color or Surface texture can be filtered out or isolated and so a foreign substance Show.
  • incident light should preferably be used and the reflection of light can be measured. Different colors can be received by filtering Light can be made visible in the sensor signals.
  • the location of the detection of foreign fibers and foreign substances is preferably between the exit of a card, line or the like and the entry into a jug.
  • the tape is left in its shape, i.e. Not changed. If contamination is detected, there are various options for it react.
  • a first option is the production or the processing device shut down.
  • Other options are the carrier of the tape or to mark the jug that received contaminated tape or the tape mark yourself to remove it later. The contaminants can also be cut out or otherwise removed, causing the tape to be interrupted. Or, an alarm can be triggered.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention can be seen in particular in that the fiber composite, for example, cotton, not widely diversified at the point of registration is what reduces the effort for detection and does not destroy the test object.
  • a special deformation of the band is not necessary. If the contamination occurs frequently, it is almost certain that it Surface of the tape occur and thus can be detected safely. Here you can Also remove impurities without shutting down the entire production process, because mostly only individual cans of an entire group are affected. With the invention concentrated, large-scale contaminations or impurities that are appear on the surface of the tape.
  • Fig. 1 shows a simplified representation of a card 1, which is known per se and therefore processed a fiber composite 2, not shown here, by from a flat nonwoven fabric 3 a tape 4 with a substantially round or oval cross-section is produced.
  • the tape 4 is placed in a can 5 in a known manner, the must be replaced periodically when it is filled.
  • a sensor 6 is arranged, the is connected to a computer 8 via a line or a bus 7. This is preferred further connected via an output 14 to a marking device 15.
  • the exit 14 could also lead to an alarm device.
  • Fig. 2 shows a possible embodiment for a sensor 6 for the band 4.
  • This can be two parts 9 and 10 consist of the same structure and can be pivoted against each other are stored, as indicated by an arrow 11.
  • Both parts 9 and 10 have each have a measuring space 12, 13 open on one side, both of which are arranged in relation to one another are that the band 4 can cross the two sensor parts 9 and 10 by the traverses two measuring rooms 12, 13.
  • the arrangement of the measuring rooms 12, 13 is preferred selected so that the band 4 is over its entire circumference by the sensor 6 is enclosed.
  • the measuring room 12 it has three boundary surfaces 12a, 12b and 12c, and at least one, preferably two of these boundary surfaces have a measuring system that, for example, in a window 20, 21 empties.
  • Each sensor part 9, 10 has a measuring system, such as that shown in FIGS Patent applications WO 93/13407 or EP 0 401 600 are known. You can also Parts of the measuring systems which are assigned to opposite windows, together form a measuring system. So e.g. Share the window 20 and an invisible window are assigned in the boundary surface 12c. To insert the tape 4 can at least a part 9, 10 can be pivoted away manually or automatically, so that the tape 4 can be inserted laterally into the measuring rooms 12, 13, for example.
  • Fig. 3 shows a portion 17 of a tape on the surface 22 of an impurity 18 can be seen, which is to be covered by the invention. This exists, for example from a small composite of different colored fibers, for example due to contamination generated in a previous processing stage or in the card itself were. At point 19 it can also be seen that the impurity 18 in places the surface 22 has stepped away.
  • a threshold 28 is now set so that it is not reached by signals from isolated contaminants becomes. However, if this threshold value 28 is exceeded for a time like this for the If signal 27 is the case, then its duration, which is represented by arrow 31, is recorded. A threshold value 32 can also be specified for this period.
  • FIG. 5 shows a section 33 known per se at the outlet 34, a sensor 35 and a Tape cutter 36 are arranged for a tape 37.
  • the sensor 34 which is like a sensor 2, and the tape cutter 36 are both connected to a computer 38 connected.
  • the operation of the invention is as follows: Before commencing full operation of the card, leading strip from the card is introduced into sensor 6, in which, for example, part 10 is pivoted away, as indicated by arrow 11. When the belt 4 is inserted, the part 10 can be swiveled back again and the card can be fully operated. Then the sensor 6 detects, for example, optical color or intensity deviations or capacitive deviations in the dielectric and converts them into an electrical signal 25, which is evaluated in the computer 8. Algorithms and threshold or comparison values 28, 32 are stored in the computer 8, which allow foreign fibers or foreign substances to be recognized from the signal in the line 7. If such are recognized, a signal is output via the output 14, which triggers an alarm or the shutdown of the system.
  • the output 14 can optionally also be connected to a marking device 15, controlled by this, the can 5 in question marked as the carrier of the tape.
  • a marking device 15 can be designed, for example, as a paint spraying device that marks the outer surface of the jug with paint. But it is also conceivable in automatic can change systems, by the signal in output 14 a can change trigger prematurely in order to place contaminated spots in special cans.
  • a Marking device 16 could also be attached directly to the sensor 6 around the position a contamination on the tape 4 itself in a conspicuous way, so that the tape can later be treated by hand (Fig. 1).
  • the sensor 6 detects changes, in particular if it has an optical measuring system the color or structure of the surface of the tape.
  • the measuring system should have a rather low resolution of the location, namely that individual foreign fibers are not recognized at all.
  • the resolution is also chosen so that contamination or foreign fibers are present inside of the tape are not recognized at all, even if they appear on the surface should shine through. That is why the optical measuring system only reflects on the tape Light measured. For this, the surface is captured all around, the entire circumference. On in this way, the detection can also be carried out, for example, at high belt speeds 300 m / min or 5m / sec.
  • the low resolution is achieved in that little sensitive measuring systems or that 8 high threshold values for deviations in the computer be set by a normal signal to indicate foreign fibers.
  • the resolution is in particular also predetermined by the threshold values 28, 32, with the If the threshold 28 is exceeded, a counting process for the time 31 is started in the computer, for which in turn the threshold value 32 applies.
  • the senor 35 can be provided, which outputs signals to the computer 38.
