Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau type de tendeur de fil utilisable sur tout type de matériel textile, et plus particulièrement sur les machines permettant de tordre et/ou assembler par torsion des fils de nature quelconque.The present invention relates to a new type of thread tensioner usable on any type of textile material, and more particularly on machines for twisting and / or twisting yarns of any kind.
Un dispositif selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document DE-A-2 016 263.A device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document DE-A-2 016 263.
Lors des différentes opérations de transformation que subit un fil au cours de son élaboration, il est indispensable de lui communiquer une tension aussi régulière et constante que possible. Pour ce faire, de très nombreuses solutions de dispositifs tendeurs ont été proposées à ce jour, les plus simples consistant à faire simplement embarrer le fil sur des éléments de renvoi constitués par exemple par deux disques plaqués l'un contre l'autre et soumis à l'action d'un ressort.During the various processing operations that a yarn undergoes during its development, it is essential to communicate a tension as regular and constant as possible. To do this, very numerous solutions for tensioning devices have been proposed to date, the simplest of which is to simply tie the thread on return elements constituted for example by two discs plated one against the other and subjected to the action of a spring.
Ces solutions ne permettant pas de contrôler de manière précise la tension que l'on communique, diverses propositions ont été faites pour résoudre ces problèmes.These solutions do not allow precise control of the tension that is communicated, various proposals have been made to solve these problems.
Ainsi, comme cela est mentionné dans le préambule du FR-A-2 145 056, il a été proposé d'utiliser des dispositifs tendeurs qui comportent d'une part, une poulie dont le pourtour présente une couche de friction et est en contact avec le fil sur au moins une partie de sa circonférence, et d'autre part, des moyens pour freiner ladite poulie. Ces moyens de freinage de poulie sont constitués par un frein à courant de Foucault se présentant sous la forme d'un moteur de type asynchrone dont le rotor est solidaire de l'arbre de la poulie et dont les enroulements du stator sont alimentés par une source de courant continu réglable. Un tel type de tendeur qui, d'une manière générale, correspond au dispositif faisant l'objet de l'US-A-3 797 775, ne donne pas satisfaction, notamment par le fait qu'il nécessite une alimentation en courant électrique et qu'il est donc nécessaire d'avoir autant de branchements d'alimentation qu'il y a de dispositifs tendeurs.Thus, as mentioned in the preamble of FR-A-2 145 056, it has been proposed to use tensioning devices which include on the one hand, a pulley whose periphery has a friction layer and is in contact with the wire over at least part of its circumference, and on the other hand, means for braking said pulley. These means of pulley braking consist of an eddy current brake having the form of an asynchronous type motor whose rotor is integral with the pulley shaft and whose stator windings are powered by an adjustable direct current source. Such a type of tensioner which, in general, corresponds to the device making the subject of US-A-3 797 775, is not satisfactory, in particular by the fact that it requires a power supply and therefore it is necessary to have as many power connections as there are tensioning devices.
Le FR-A-2 145 056 précité vise à surmonter cet inconvénient, le dispositif de freinage qu'il décrit étant constitué par un générateur électrique dont le rotor est solidaire de l'arbre de la poulie, et dont l'induit est connecté à une résistance de charge, le champ magnétique du générateur étant fourni par un aimant permanent.The aforementioned FR-A-2 145 056 aims to overcome this drawback, the braking device which he describes being constituted by a generator electric whose rotor is secured to the pulley shaft, and whose armature is connected to a load resistor, the magnetic field of the generator being supplied by a permanent magnet.
La solution décrite dans ce document permet également de pouvoir assurer de manière simultanée le réglage de la tension communiquée par une pluralité de tendeurs. Elle présente cependant comme inconvénients d'être coûteuse et surtout demande une très grande précision dans sa construction.The solution described in this document also allows you to be able to simultaneously adjust the voltage communicated by a plurality of tensioners. However, it has drawbacks to be expensive and above all requires very high precision in its construction.
Le FR-A-2 167 957 décrit une solution dans laquelle le freinage pour le guidage du fil est obtenu en réalisant un aimant dont le nombre de poles magnétiques est pair, cet aimant étant disposé en regard d'un disque dont la face est percée de plusieurs trous, disque qui supporte la poulie de guidage du fil. Le freinage de la poulie est obtenue en faisant varier la distance entre le disque et l'aimant.FR-A-2 167 957 describes a solution in which braking for wire guidance is obtained by making a magnet whose number of magnetic poles is even, this magnet being placed opposite a disc the face of which is pierced with several holes, disc which supports the pulley of wire guide. Braking of the pulley is obtained by varying the distance between the disc and the magnet.
Cette dernière solution, si elle permet d'éviter le problème des branchements électriques, ne permet cependant nullement d'envisager de commander simultanément l'ensemble des tendeurs que peut comporter une machine textile ayant une multiplicité de positions de travail identiques disposées côte à côte. This last solution, if it avoids the problem of electrical connections, however in no way allows to consider simultaneously control all the tensioners that may include a textile machine having a multiplicity of working positions identical arranged side by side.
Or on a trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, un nouveau type de dispositif tendeur qui surmonte les inconvénients des solutions antérieures et qui, non seulement, permet d'éviter une alimentation en courant électrique, mais également assure une mise en tension progressive lors du lancement de la machine, tension qui demeure constante en fonctionnement normal. Par ailleurs, le réglage de tout ou partie des dispositifs tendeurs que peut comporter la machine lorsqu'elle est constituée d'une pluralité de positions de travail identiques, peut être effectué simultanément sur l'ensemble des délivreurs qui remplissent la même fonction. Enfin, le dispositif conforme à l'invention permet d'obtenir uen très grande plage dans les tensions susceptibles d'être communiquées au fil et est utilisable pour des fils pouvant présenter des caractéristiques très différentes les unes des autres.Now we have found, and this is what is the subject of the present invention, a new type of tensioning device which overcomes the disadvantages of previous solutions and which not only avoids a power supply, but also ensures progressive tension when starting the machine, tension which remains constant in normal operation. In addition, the setting of all or part of the tensioning devices that the machine can include when it is made up of a plurality of work positions identical, can be performed simultaneously on all issuers who perform the same function. Finally, the device according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a very large range in the voltages likely to be communicated to the wire and is usable for yarns which can have very different characteristics from each other.
Dans la suite de la description, l'invention sera décrite pour un tendeur utilisé sur une machine de câblage, et dans lequel l'élément communiquant la tension, élément qui sera désigné dans la suite de la description par l'expression "poulie", est constitué de deux coupelles montées sur un moyeu et bloquées l'une contre l'autre à l'aide d'un écrou permettant de régler la pression entre les coupelles et donc d'entraíner le fil de façon positive. Il est évident que tout autre dispositif équivalent pourrait être utilisé, par exemple, il serait possible de réaliser un tendeur conforme à l'invention en faisant passer le fil contre la périphérie d'un tambour ou d'une simple poulie à gorge.In the following description, the invention will be described for a tensioner used on a wiring machine, and in which the element communicating the voltage, an element which will be designated in the rest of the description by the expression "pulley", consists of two cups mounted on a hub and locked against each other with a nut to adjust the pressure between the cups and therefore to drive the wire in a positive way. Obviously any other device equivalent could be used, for example, it would be possible to achieve a tensioner according to the invention by passing the wire against the periphery of a drum or a simple grooved pulley.
D'une manière générale, le dispositif tendeur de fil conforme à l'invention est du type comportant :
- une poulie montée libre en rotation à l'extrémité d'un axe porté par un boitier, contre la surface de laquelle le fil est en contact ;
- des moyens de freinage de ladite poulie constitués par des aimants permanents disposés concentriquement et bloqués en rotation par rapport à l'axe, et disposés en regard d'une couronne en matériau ferro-magnétique montée sur le palier supportant la poulie ;
- des moyens permettant de faire varier l'écartement entre les aimants et le palier porte-poulie par coulissement de l'un de ces éléments sur l'axe, ces moyens étant constitués par un premier ensemble exerçant une poussée tendant à rapprocher le support des aimants de la couronne associée à la poulie jusqu'à une valeur minimale prédéterminée.
- a pulley mounted free in rotation at the end of an axis carried by a housing, against the surface of which the wire is in contact;
- braking means of said pulley constituted by permanent magnets arranged concentrically and locked in rotation relative to the axis, and arranged opposite a ring made of ferro-magnetic material mounted on the bearing supporting the pulley;
- means for varying the spacing between the magnets and the pulley bearing by sliding one of these elements on the axis, these means being constituted by a first assembly exerting a thrust tending to bring the support of the magnets of the crown associated with the pulley up to a predetermined minimum value.
Le dispositif selon l'invention se caractérise en ce que les moyens de réglage de l'écartement entre les aimants et la poulie à freiner, comportent un deuxième ensemble exerçant une contre-poussée, de valeur réglable, tendant à écarter les aimants par rapport à la surface de la couronne, lesdits moyens de contre-poussée étant constitués par une source d'air comprimé agissant sur la face d'un piston monté fixe sur l'axe, en appui contre une portée de ce dernier, et dont l'autre face est soumise à l'action des premiers moyens de poussée, l'alimentation en air comprimé étant réalisée simultanément sur l'ensemble des tendeurs que comporte la machine par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne pneumatique commune.The device according to the invention is characterized in that the means for adjusting the spacing between the magnets and the pulley to be braked, comprise a second assembly exerting a counter-thrust, of adjustable value, tending to separate the magnets relative to the surface of the crown, said counter-thrust means being constituted by a source of compressed air acting on the face of a piston mounted fixed on the axis, bearing against a bearing surface of the latter, and the other of which face is subjected to the action of the first thrust means, the supply of compressed air being carried out simultaneously on all the tensioners that the machine comprises via a common pneumatic line.
La variation de l'écartement entre les aimants et la couronne associée à la poulie permettant de régler la tension communiquée au fil par le tendeur, peut, selon l'invention, être obtenue soit par déplacement longitudinal desdits aimants sur l'axe portant la poulie, ledit axe étant alors monté fixe sur le bâti de la machine, soit par déplacement de l'axe support de ladite poulie, la fixation sur le bâti de la machine étant alors réalisée par l'intermédiaire du boitier supportant les aimants. The variation of the spacing between the magnets and the crown associated with the pulley to adjust the tension communicated to the wire by the tensioner, can, according to the invention, be obtained either by displacement longitudinal of said magnets on the axis carrying the pulley, said axis being then fixedly mounted on the machine frame, either by displacement of the axis support of said pulley, the attachment to the frame of the machine then being produced through the box supporting the magnets.

- Figure 2 is a detail view in longitudinal section of a tensioner produced in accordance with the invention;
- Figure 3 is a front view of such a tensioner showing the manner in which the passage of the wire around the "pulley" is used to communicate the tension;
- FIG. 4 illustrates, seen from above, a plurality of tensioners equipping four positions of a textile machine, connected to a source of supply of air under common pressure.
La figure 1 illustre, de manière schématique et vue de côté, une position de travail d'une machine textile dite "câbleuse directe", permettant d'assembler par fausse torsion deux fils élémentaires.Figure 1 illustrates, schematically and viewed from the side, a working position of a so-called "direct cable" textile machine, allowing two elementary wires to be assembled by false twist.
Dans un tel type de machine, connue depuis fort longtemps (voir US-A-3 026 063), chaque position de travail permet donc de réunir par torsion deux fils élémentaires (A,B) provenant de deux sources d'alimentation (1,2). Le fil (A) provenant de la bobine (1) passe dans un plateau rotatif (3) ou similaire de manière à former un ballon (4) à l'intérieur duquel est disposée la source d'alimentation (2) pour le fil (B). L'assemblage des deux fils (A) et (B) est obtenu par torsion au point de réunion (5), puis le câblé (6) formé est renvidé de manière conventionnelle, par exemple sur un système de renvidage (7) ne communiquant pas de torsion additionnelle. L'appel des deux fils (A) et (B) constituant le câblé (6), est donné par la vitesse de renvidage en (7). Pour égaliser les tensions afin d'avoir un ensemble équilibré, des systèmes tendeurs (8,9) sont prévus pour chacun des fils (A,B). Le tendeur (8) permet de régler la longueur de réserve du fil (A) autour du plateau (3) et joue le rôle d'un amortisseur qui absorbe les à-coups de dévidage de la bobine (1), ce qui permet de conserver un ballon (4) très régulier.In such a type of machine, known for a very long time (see US-A-3 026 063), each working position therefore makes it possible to join by twisting two elementary wires (A, B) from two power sources (1,2). The wire (A) from the spool (1) passes through a turntable (3) or the like so as to form a balloon (4) inside which is arranged the power source (2) for the wire (B). The assembly of the two wires (A) and (B) is obtained by twisting at the meeting point (5), then the cable (6) formed is returned conventionally, for example on a winding system (7) not imparting additional torsion. The call of the two wires (A) and (B) constituting the cable (6), is given by the winding speed in (7). To equalize the tensions in order to have a balanced set, tensioning systems (8,9) are provided for each wires (A, B). The tensioner (8) adjusts the reserve length of the wire (A) around the plate (3) and acts as a shock absorber which absorbs jolts reel reel (1), which keeps a balloon (4) very regular.
Le tendeur conforme à l'invention est particulièrement adapté pour être utilisé pour donner la tension au fil (A) qui passe à l'intérieur du plateau rotatif (3) et forme le ballon (4).The tensioner according to the invention is particularly suitable for be used to give tension to the wire (A) which passes inside the turntable (3) and forms the balloon (4).
La câbleuse équipée de tendeurs (8) conformes à l'invention est donc constituée d'une pluralité de positions de travail identiques disposées côte à côte, les tendeurs (8) permettant d'assurer la tension du fil (A) provenant du support (1) porté par une cantre disposée, dans le cas présent, sur la partie haute de la machine, sont montés individuellement sur une plaque support (35) portée par ledit bâti. Le positionnement de ces tendeurs est avantageusement situé sur le bâti de la machine au niveau du système de renvidage, en avant de ce dernier, le fil (B) étant amené directement au frein (9) situé en amont du point de câblage (6) dans le prolongement de l'axe de la source d'alimentation (2) du fil (B).The stranding machine equipped with tensioners (8) according to the invention is therefore consisting of a plurality of identical working positions arranged side by side side by side, the tensioners (8) to ensure the tension of the wire (A) coming from the support (1) carried by a creel arranged, in the case present, on the upper part of the machine, are mounted individually on a support plate (35) carried by said frame. The positioning of these tensioners is advantageously located on the machine frame at the level of the winding system, in front of it, the wire (B) being brought directly to the brake (9) located upstream of the wiring point (6) in the extension of the axis of the power source (2) of the wire (B).
Ainsi que cela ressort des figures 2 et 3, dans la forme de réalisation illustrée sensiblement à l'échelle 1, le tendeur (8) conforme à l'invention comporte comme élément permettant de communiquer la tension au fil une poulie constituée de deux coupelles (11,12) entre lesquelles passe le fil (A), ces coupelles étant montées sur un moyeu (13) qui est lui-même monté libre en rotation par l'intermédiaire de roulements (14) à l'extrémité d'un arbre (15). Lesdites coupelles (11,12) sont bloquées sur le moyeu par l'intermédiaire d'un ensemble en forme d'écrou (16), ce qui permet de régler la pression des coupelles l'une contre l'autre et par suite la tension qu'elles comm uniquent au fil. Le fil (A) passe dans l'espace compris entre les deux coupelles et est maintenu au niveau de leur zone d'interpénétration, l'enveloppe du fil autour desdites coupelles étant déterminée par deux guides (17,39) (représentés uniquement à la figure 3), disposés respectivement en amont et en aval du plan d'appui.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the embodiment illustrated substantially on scale 1, the tensioner (8) according to the invention has as an element to communicate the tension in the wire a pulley consisting of two cups (11,12) between which the wire passes (A), these cups being mounted on a hub (13) which is itself mounted free in rotation by means of bearings (14) the end of a tree (15). Said cups (11,12) are blocked on the hub via a nut-shaped assembly (16), which allows to adjust the pressure of the cups one against the other and consequently the tension that they apply to the wire. The wire (A) passes through space between the two cups and is maintained at their zone interpenetration, the wire envelope around said cups being determined by two guides (17,39) (shown only in FIG. 3), arranged respectively upstream and downstream of the support plane.
Ainsi que cela ressort de la figure 2, le moyeu (13) qui supporte la poulie comporte sur sa face opposée auxdites poulies, une couronne (18) réalisée dans un matériau ferro-magnétique tel que par exemple à base de ferrite.As shown in Figure 2, the hub (13) which supports the pulley has on its face opposite said pulleys, a crown (18) made of a ferro-magnetic material such as for example based on ferrite.
Les moyens permettant d'assurer le freinage de la poulie sont constitués par une pluralité d'aimants permanents (19) au nombre de deux dans le cas présent, et se présentant sous la forme de pastilles ayant un diamètre de 15 mm. Ces aimants sont montés concentriquement à l'arbre (15) sur un support (20), lui-même immobilisé à l'intérieur d'un boitier (21). Le support (20) est bloqué par l'intermédiaire de vis (22), est immobilisé en rotation par rapport à l'arbre (15), mais est en revanche libre en translation par rapport à ce dernier.The means for braking the pulley are constituted by a plurality of permanent magnets (19) the number of two in this case, and in the form of pellets having a diameter of 15 mm. These magnets are mounted concentrically with the shaft (15) on a support (20), itself immobilized inside a case (21). The support (20) is locked by means of screws (22), is immobilized in rotation relative to the shaft (15), but is however free in translation relative to the latter.
Conformément à l'invention, le tendeur comporte des moyens permettant de faire varier l'écartement entre les aimants (19) et la couronne (18) portée par la poulie, cette variation étant comprise entre une valeur minimale de 1 mm, ce qui permet d'éviter tout risque d'interférence dus à des défauts géométriques et un écartement maximal, fonction de la puissance des aimants, et qui dans le cas présent, est de 4 mm.According to the invention, the tensioner includes means allowing the spacing between the magnets (19) and the crown (18) carried by the pulley, this variation being between a minimum value of 1 mm, which avoids any risk interference due to geometric defects and maximum spacing, function of the power of the magnets, which in this case is 4 mm.
Ces moyens permettant d'assurer le réglage comprennent tout d'abord un premier ensemble de poussée qui tend à rapprocher le support (20) des aimants (19) de la couronne. Ce déplacement est limité d'une valeur minimale prédéterminée et est obtenu, dans le cas présent, par un ensemble sous forme de ressort (23) disposé autour de l'arbre (15) et en appui, d'une part sur un palier annulaire fixe (24) solidaire du boitier (21) et, d'autre part, sur la face arrière d'un piston (32) solidaire de l'arbre (15), ce qui permet un coulissement du boitier (21) par rapport à l'ensemble (32-15).These means for adjusting include all first a first thrust assembly which tends to bring the support closer (20) magnets (19) of the crown. This movement is limited by one predetermined minimum value and is obtained, in this case, by a assembly in the form of a spring (23) arranged around the shaft (15) and in support, on the one hand on a fixed annular bearing (24) integral with the housing (21) and, on the other hand, on the rear face of a piston (32) integral with the shaft (15), which allows sliding of the housing (21) relative to the assembly (32-15).
Ainsi que cela ressort de la figure 2, le boitier (21) est conçu de manière à présenter sur sa face arrière (33) un épaulement (34), ce qui permet donc de réaliser une chambre (25) entre le fond du boitier et la face (26) du piston, l'autre face du piston prenant appui contre un épaulement prévu sur l'arbre (15). Des joints (30) et (31) sont prévus pour assurer l'étanchéité de la chambre (25). A l'intérieur de cette chambre (25), débouche l'arrivée (36) d'une alimentation en air comprimé. L'arbre (15) est monté fixe sur un support (35) solidaire du bâti de la machine.As shown in Figure 2, the housing (21) is designed to so as to present on its rear face (33) a shoulder (34), which therefore makes it possible to produce a chamber (25) between the bottom of the case and the face (26) of the piston, the other face of the piston pressing against a shoulder provided on the shaft (15). Seals (30) and (31) are provided to ensure the sealing of the chamber (25). Inside this chamber (25), opens the inlet (36) of a compressed air supply. The tree (15) is fixedly mounted on a support (35) integral with the machine frame.
Grâce à une telle conception, il est donc possible de pouvoir régler la tension communiquée par la poulie lors du passage du fil. Dans la représentation illustrée à la figure 2, les différents éléments du tendeur sont représentés dans leur position où les aimants (19) sont à une distance minimale prédéterminée, à savoir dans le cas présent de l'ordre de un millimètre, de la couronne (18) montée sur le moyeu (13) dans la poulie (P). Cette position permet d'obtenir une tension maximale sur le fil. Lorsque l'on souhaite modifier la valeur de la tension, on alimente la chambre (25) en air comprimé, ce qui tend donc à repousser le piston (32) qui exerce une contre-poussée sur le ressort (23), et tend donc à déplacer le boitier (21) qui porte les aimants par rapport à l'arbre (15), dans la direction allant vers la gauche si l'on considère la figure 2, ce qui permettra d'augmenter l'écartement entre lesdits aimants et la couronne (18). En conséquence, le freinage réalisé par les aimants tend à diminuer. Thanks to such a design, it is therefore possible to be able to adjust the tension communicated by the pulley during the passage of the wire. In the representation illustrated in Figure 2, the different elements of the tensioner are shown in their position where the magnets (19) are at a distance predetermined minimum, i.e. in the present case of the order of one millimeter, of the crown (18) mounted on the hub (13) in the pulley (P). This position provides maximum tension on the wire. When you want to change the voltage value, you supply the chamber (25) in compressed air, which therefore tends to push back the piston (32) which exerts a counter-thrust on the spring (23), and therefore tends to move the housing (21) which carries the magnets relative to the shaft (15), in the direction going to the left if we consider figure 2, which will increase the spacing between said magnets and the crown (18). Consequently, the braking performed by the magnets tends to decrease.
Ainsi que cela ressort de la figure 4, il est possible grâce à une telle conception, d'alimenter une pluralité de tendeurs à partir d'une seule source d'alimentation (37) en air comprimé, l'injection d'air étant réglée par une vanne pneumatique centrale (38) et chaque délivreur (8) étant raccordé par un conduit (36) à ladite source d'alimentation.As is apparent from Figure 4, it is possible through such design, to feed a plurality of tensioners from a single compressed air supply source (37), the air injection being regulated by a central pneumatic valve (38) and each deliverer (8) being connected by a conduit (36) to said power source.
Dans l'exemple décrit, le déplacement des aimants par rapport à la poulie est obtenu par déplacement du boitier qui supporte les aimants sur l'arbre qui est maintenu fixe sur la machine. Il pourrait être envisagé de procéder à l'inverse, c'est-à-dire de monter le boitier fixe sur la machine, ce qui provoquera alors le déplacement de la poulie par rapport audit boitier.In the example described, the displacement of the magnets relative to the pulley is obtained by moving the housing that supports the magnets on the shaft which is kept fixed on the machine. It could be considered to proceed in reverse, that is to say to mount the fixed box on the machine, which will then cause the pulley to move relative to said housing.
