Therefore, if the outputs of the motors 81 and 86 each are interrupted simultaneously during stoppage of the multiple twister, the traverse device 85 having a small inertial force stops more before the drum 84 having a greater inertial force stops. As a result, if the drum 84 is continuously driven with respect to the inactive traverse device 85, there is a danger of a end missing that a twisted yarn slips off from a winding package P, or a straight winding that a twisted yarn around the winding package P is wound around one section.

- the spindle driving system, the drum driving system and the traverse driving system are driven by a common driving means, and the drum driving system and the traverse driving system are coupled with each other via non-step transmission for applying disturbance by making a traverse speed of the traverse device variable.
- the traverse speed of the traverse device can be made variable by non-step transmission so as to synchronize with drum rotation.

Thereby, package quality improvement can be achieved, and cut yarn due to excessive twisting can be certainly prevented.

- the endless belt is changed to a diameter according that interval. Further, each taper body interval of the other pulley is changed in according therewith, and the diameter of the endless belt is changed. Therefore, the traverse speed of the traverse device can be made variable appropriately due to such change in the diameter of the endless belt.

Description
- The present invention relates a multiple twister for driving a drum for rotating a winding package and a traverse device for traversing a twisted yarn to be wound around the winding package by common driving means.
- In a conventional two for one twister which is a typical example of a multiple twister, a yarn released from a yarn supply package is put into a spindle rotating at a high speed, and twisting is imparted while a tensile stress is imparted adequately by means of a tension device and ballooning is performed by means of a rotating disc mounted to the spindle. Then a twisted yarn is fed to a traverse device by means of a feed roller, and the yarn to be wound on a bobbin rotating in contact with a rotating drum is formed in a winding package.
- In a driving system of this two for one twister, as shown in Figure 5, an output of a
first motor 81 driven by a command from acontroller 80 is transmitted by means of a driving system comprising a plurality of pulleys, a belt, and a speed reducer to drive aspindle 82, afeed roller 83 and adrum 84.
Further, atraverse device 85 is driven by the transmission of an output of asecond motor 86 driven by another command from thecontroller 80 ,the transmission by of means of a driving system comprising a plurality of pulleys, a belt and cam box. When an induction motor rotating according to an output frequency from aninverter 87 is used for thesecond motor 86, acceleration and deceleration can be performed arbitrarily. Therefore, the rotation speed of the induction motor is periodically switched between the upper and lower limits, and ribbon break can be performed by a disturb function driven at a traverse speed at which the speed of thetraverse device 85 are periodically varied. - In a conventional multiple twister, however, there are provided the
first motor 81 for driving thedrum 84 and thesecond motor 86 for driving thetraverse device 85, independently. Therefore, if the outputs of themotors traverse device 85 having a small inertial force stops more before thedrum 84 having a greater inertial force stops. As a result, if thedrum 84 is continuously driven with respect to theinactive traverse device 85, there is a danger of a end missing that a twisted yarn slips off from a winding package P, or a straight winding that a twisted yarn around the winding package P is wound around one section. - It is an object of the present invention to prevent the end missing of the twisted yarn or the straight winding at the time of stoppage by driving a traverse device and a drum by common driving means and synchronizing the traverse device with driving of the drum.
- To solve the above problems, there is provided a multiple twister as claimed in
claim 1 according to the present invention, comprising a spindle driving system of a spindle apparatus for twisting a yarn, a drum driving system for rotating a winding package for winding the twisted yarn and a traverse driving system of a traverse device for traversing the twisted yarn to be wound around the winding package. The spindle driving system, the drum driving system and the traverse driving system are driven by a common driving means, and the drum driving system and the traverse driving system are coupled with each other via non-step transmission for applying disturbance by making a traverse speed of the traverse device variable. - Thereby, during stoppage of each system, the traverse speed of the traverse device can be made variable by non-step transmission so as to synchronize with drum rotation. In addition, by the non-step transmission, the traverse speed of the traverse device is made continuously variable between high and low speeds, thereby making it possible to wind a twisted yarn while disturbing it.
- Further, the spindle driving system, the drum driving system and the traverse driving system are driven by the common driving means so as to certainly maintain synchronization of each driving system during general acceleration and deceleration or during deceleration at the time of electric interruption. Thereby, package quality improvement can be achieved, and cut yarn due to excessive twisting can be certainly prevented.
- In
claim 2, said non-step transmission as claimed inclaim 1 accelerates the traverse speed of the traverse device step by step according to the winding quantity of the winding package and applies disturbance by making the traverse speed continuously variable between high and low speeds merely in a time zone in which a constant speed is achieved after acceleration. - Thereby, when the traverse speed of the traverse device is accelerated step by step, a winding angle that changes according to the winding quantity of the winding package can be corrected. Alternatively, when the traverse speed is made continuously variable between high and low speeds in a constant-speed time zone, the twisted yarn can be wound around the winding package while it is disturbed.
- In
claim 3, the non-step transmission as claimed inclaim 1 orclaim 2 is provided with a pair of pulleys coupled with each of the driving means side and the traverse driving system and an endless belt to be wound around each pulley, each pulley having a taper face following taper faces formed on both sides of the endless belt and comprising two taper bodies arbitrarily drawn together and separated from each other, one of these pulleys being provided with drawing and separating means for forcibly drawing together and separating one taper body to/from another. - Thereby, when each taper body interval of one pulley is forcibly adjusted by the drawing and separating means, the endless belt is changed to a diameter according that interval. Further, each taper body interval of the other pulley is changed in according therewith, and the diameter of the endless belt is changed. Therefore, the traverse speed of the traverse device can be made variable appropriately due to such change in the diameter of the endless belt.
- In claim 4, said non-step transmission as claimed in any one of
claims 1 to 3 is provided with a reversible motor, a sensor for detecting a traverse speed, and a controller, the controller applying disturbance by switching forward and backward rotation of the reversible motor according to the detected traverse speed. - Thereby, an actual traverse speed is detected, and variable control of disturbance can be performed, thus making it possible to perform simple and precise disturbance merely by forward and backward rotation of the reversible motor.

driving motor 5, aninput board 60, a reversible motor 53 (drawing and separating means) of thenon-step transmission 14, a control motor 61 of the speedchange belt device 12, adrum proximity sensor 62 and atraverse proximity sensor 63, respectively. Theinput board 60 inputs to the controller 6 data such as conditions of the traverse device 11 (winding angle , traverse speed v and disturbance swing width h), number of twists N, rotation speed of the spindle and rotation speed of thedrum 9. Theproximity sensor 62 detects rotation of atarget body 64 of theshaft 32 to monitor an actual rotation speed of thedrum 9 and outputs it to the controller 6. Alternatively, theproximity sensor 63 detects rotation of atarget body 65 of thegrooved drum 44 to monitor the winding angle and the traverse speed v of thetraverse device 11 and outputs it to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls driving of thedriving motor 5, thereversible motor 53 and the control motor 61 by means of data inputted from theinput board 60 and detection fed back from each of theproximity sensors - Now, in Figure 2, with reference to a concrete structure of the
non-step transmission 14, thenon-step transmission 14 comprises aninput side pulley 50 provided at anoutput shaft 31c of thespeed reducer 13, anoutput side pulley 51 provided at atransmission shaft 41 of thecam box 40, anendless belt 52 wound between thepulleys pulleys washers inner washer 55 of theinput side pulley 50. Anoutput shaft 56 of thereversible motor 53 is coupled with the holder via a clutch 57 and theinner washer 55 of theinput side pulley 50 is axially moved to theouter washer 54 fixed to theoutput shaft 31c by forward and backward rotation of themotor 53. Theouter washer 55 of theoutput side pulley 51 is provided with aspring box 58. A biasingspring 59 biasing theouter washer 55 toward theinner washer 55 fixed to thetransmission shaft 41 is disposed inside of thespring box 58. Theendless belt 52 having taper faces on both ends following the taper faces of thewashers pulleys - When the
reversible motor 53 is forward rotated, theinner washer 55 of theinput side pulley 50 is moved toward theouter washer 54 so as to narrow an interval and a distance. Therefore, a winding diameter of theendless belt 52 of theinput side pulley 50 increases. Accordingly, theouter washer 54 of theoutput side pulley 51 is moved against spring force of the biasingspring 59 to widen an interval and a distance with respect to theinner washer 55. Therefore, the winding diameter of theendless belt 52 of theoutput side pulley 51 decreases. When thereversible motor 53 is rotated backward, theinner washer 55 of theinput side pulley 50 decreases to widen an interval and a distance from theouter washer 54. The winding diameter of theendless belt 52 of theinput side pulley 51 decreases. Accordingly, theouter washer 54 of theoutput side pulley 51 is moved by spring force of the biasingspring 59 so as to narrow an interval and a distance with respect to theinner washer 55. Therefore, the winding diameter of theendless belt 52 of theoutput side pulley 51 increases. - Thus, the
non-step transmission 14 changes a rotation speed output from theoutput side pulley 51 to thecam box 40 and varies the traverse speed of thetraverse device 11 via thecam box 40 by changing the winding diameter of theendless belt 52 with respect to each of thepulleys reversible motor 53. - The
multiple twister 1 of the present invention is constructed as described above. Now, an operation ofmultiple twister 1 will be described. - The controller 6 receives data such as spindle rotation speed, drum rotation speed, winding angle and traverse speed v with respect to the
traverse device 11, and disturbance width h of the twisted yarn and so on from theinput board 60, and drives the drivingmotor 5 based on these data. When the drivingmotor 5 is driven, its output is transmitted to thespindle apparatus 11 via the spindle driving system A. The yarn to be released from a yarn supply package enters a tension device (not shown in the drawings), a given tensile stress is imparted. Then, the yarn is ballooned on a rotating disc of thespindle 8 rotating at a high speed and reaches a balloon guide. One twist is applied from the tension device to the rotating disc, and another twist is applied from the rotating disc to the balloon guide and reaches thefeed roller 10. - An output of the driving
motor 5 is transmitted via the drum driving system B and the traverse driving system C, thefeed roller 10 and thedrum 9 is rotated, and thetraverse device 11 is traversed. Thereby, the twisted yarn from thespindle apparatus 2 reaching thefeed roller 10 is wound around the winding package P pressed by thedrum 9 traversed by thetraverse device 11. - With respect to winding of the twisted yarn, the
traverse device 11 winds such yarn depending on the traverse speed v and the disturbance width h shown in Figure 3 and depending on a winding angle shown in Figure 4. That is, the traverse conditions of thetraverse device 11 is determined by controlling thenon-step transmission 14 based on information such as the winding angle due to theproximity sensor 63 continuously fed back to the controller 6 and the traverse speed v. One period of the winding angle in Figure 4 corresponds to that of disturbance in Figure 3, and disturbance is performed for the winding angle to swing at a width of 7%. - In this state, the
pulleys reversible motor 53 of the no-step transmission 14 are fixed. As shown in Figure 3, the traverse speed v of thetraverse device 11 is accelerated from the beginning of driving of the drivingmotor 5 to a time t1 while a constant speed relationship with respect to thedrum 9 is maintained. Thereversible motor 53 of thenon-step transmission 14 is rotated forward and backward at time t2 at which a constant speed is achieved. A diameter of each of thepulleys endless belt 52, the traverse speed v of thetraverse device 11 is made constantly variable within a certain range between low and high speeds, and thereby the twisted yarn Y is wound around the winding package P while it is disturbed at a width h, as shown in Figure 3. Thus, the traverse speed v of thetraverse device 11 is accelerated step by step, and the yarn is disturbed merely in time zones t2, t3, t4... at which a contact speed is achieved after acceleration. A yarn is disturbed merely in time zones t2, t3, t4... at which a constant speed other than acceleration is achieved because it is difficult to make it variable between high and low speeds for disturbance while the traverse speed v is accelerated step by step by means of thenon-step transmission 14. - Thereby, the winding angle changing according to a winding quantity of the twisted yarn Y to be wound around the winding package P can be corrected to the setting, and a ribbon can be prevented from being produced at the winding package P due to disturbance.
- When the
multiple twister 1 is stopped, the traverse speed v of thetraverse device 11 is synchronized with rotation of thedrum 9. That is, the controller 6 is employed by controlling thenon-step transmission 14 using the procedure similar to that shown in Figure 3 based on an a actual rotation speed of thedrum 9 fed back from theproximity sensor 62. Further, thereversible motor 53 of thenon-step transmission 14 is rotated forward and backward, the diameter of theendless belt 52 is increased or decreased with respect to each of thepulleys traverse device 11 is decelerated and is synchronized with rotation of thedrum 9 while a constant speed relationship is maintained. - Thereby, the
traverse device 11 and thedrum 9 can be stopped simultaneously, and the end missing or the straight winding during stoppage can be prevented. - According to the multiple twister of the present invention, the drum driving system of the drum rotating a winding package is coupled with the traverse driving system of the traverse device traversing the twisted yard to be wound around the winding package via the non-step transmission and is driven by common driving means. During stoppage of each system, the traverse speed of the traverse device is made variable so as to synchronize with rotation of the drum, therefore, the traverse device and the drum can be stopped simultaneously, thereby making it possible to prevent the end missing or the straight winding during stoppage.
- With the non-step transmission, the traverse speed of the traverse device is accelerated step by step according to a winding quantity of the winding package, and the traverse speed is made continuously variable between high and low speeds merely in a time zone at which a constant speed is achieved after acceleration. Thus, the winding angle varied by a winding quantity of a twisted yarn due to the winding package can be corrected, and the twisted yarn can be wound while it is disturbed. Therefore, a ribbon of the winding package around which a twisted yarn is wound is prevented from being generated, thereby making it possible to provide a good-quality winding package.
- Further, said non-step transmission comprises the endless belt, a plurality of pulleys comprising two taper bodies that drawn together and separated from each other arbitrarily, and drawing and separating means for forcibly drawing together and separating each of the taper bodies of one pulley. When each taper body interval of one pulley is forcibly adjusted by the drawing and separating means, the endless belt is changed to a diameter according to that interval, and each taper body interval of the other pulley changes in conformity therewith, and the diameter of the endless belt is changed. Therefore, the traverse speed is made variable appropriately by change in the diameter of this endless belt. Since the taper face of the pulley can be brought into contact with the taper faces on both sides of the endless belt, slippage is reduced even if tensile stress of the endless belt is weak, the service life of the endless belt is extended, and power transmission precision is enhanced.
