Definitions

  • the invention relates to a thread sensor in the preamble of claim 1 specified type.
  • Thread sensor used, e.g. in thread delivery devices for scanning themselves mainly thread turns moving transverse to the thread axis. It did a training prevailed in which the thread sensor from a wire section like this is bent so that its thread base forms an approximately U-shaped tongue that with her Longitudinal axis is aligned approximately transversely to the thread axis, and on the underside the thread to be scanned runs along.
  • Thread sensor known, which is designed as a two-legged wire bracket and pivotable held with an axis mounted in the housing of a thread delivery device in this way is that his downward bent thread foot on the thread turns one on the storage drum of the thread delivery device rests on moving thread supply and can be deflected from a basic position by the thread turns in order for to give a control or monitoring device signals.
  • the U-shaped, two-legged thread foot points in the direction of movement of the thread turns and is sloping downwards.
  • the invention has for its object a thread sensor of the aforementioned To create a type that is characterized by increased operational reliability.
  • the uninterrupted area at least in the area of the support of the sensor base excludes the accumulation of impurities and fluff in the sensor base, and with it also the emergence of a dreaded fluff tail.
  • the thread sensor is loaded very gently, what sensitive thread qualities and / or high thread speeds is favorable. Overall, this is on Way improves the operational safety of the thread sensor because of disturbances Accumulations of contamination in the sensor base are avoided and the mechanical Load on the thread to be scanned is reduced (reduced risk of thread breakage).
  • the uninterrupted area is at least in the beginning of the stem of the feeler foot is extended to the forcibly during thread processing Do not give any fluff that may get caught.
  • the contact pressure of the feeler foot is distributed on the thread.
  • a roughly rectilinear generators can be concave, actually straight or convex, possibly depending on the geometric shape of the thread to be scanned located at the scan.
  • the uninterrupted surface should be convex or curved be composed of several surface sections, on the one hand, the passing Thread against a low and constant resistance, and on the other hand to be able to properly deflect the feeler foot through the thread.
  • the surface should be one in have a part parallel to the storage drum, the size of which is sufficient, in particular to cover two adjacent turns at the same time with thread separation.
  • the uninterrupted area should be rounded in the edge area or beveled to, if it also forms the support, possibly for the thread to exclude dangerous edges or cutting.
  • the sensor base is a molded part, preferably made of metal or Plastic in which the uninterrupted surface is integrated in one piece.
  • This Embodiment is advantageous in terms of manufacturing technology. Since the feeler foot only with his Surface, it can even be hollow to save weight.
  • the shaft is formed by two spaced legs, which with their outer contours parallel to one another or even converging to the support in the feeler foot are transferred. This is particularly important when using the sensor foot in a thread delivery device, because when threading or due to other influences sometimes the thread may be temporarily off and then against the shaft runs. The shaft should then be under the thread tension alone let it slide automatically under the support, so that the thread is caught on the feeler foot or on the shaft.
  • the sensor base is alternatively formed from a wire section, E.g .: curved, the space between the legs by an insert (hollow or solid).
  • the insert occupies the space, so to speak, so that there are no more impurities and fluff.
  • the sensor foot is bent from wire with a shoe-like Cover, which also prevents dirt and lint from settling prevented in the space between the legs and also forms the support.
  • the space between the legs of the wire curved sensor base covered by a membrane-like flat element, that either withdraws from the edition or forms the edition.
  • a membrane-like flat element that either withdraws from the edition or forms the edition.
  • the feeler foot is a skid-like flat element that the The support and the uninterrupted surface has and cantilevered on the shaft is appropriate.
  • This is a particularly lightweight and structurally simple embodiment, which prevents impurities and fluff from settling is.
  • this cavity could be filled according to claim 13 be filled in to prevent the ingress of contaminants or fluff.
  • This filling could, for example, foam or other material (e.g. potting compound) be that has no other function than the occupation of the cavity.
  • Fig. 1 is (in two views) a thread sensor F conventional training in the Thread scanning shown.
  • the thread sensor is a two-legged bracket from one Wire material 1 with legs 2 and 3 bent, their turning point in a bend Have 4 and the cranked over a shaft 6 relative to the sensor arm F.
  • Form sensor foot A With the undersides of the legs 2, 3 in the feeler foot A one Pad B defines, along which thread Y slides when scanning.
  • the thread sensor F is raised in the direction of the double arrow, for example generate a signal indicating the presence of thread Y (if applicable several thread turns) is represented under sensor foot A.
  • a flat element 7 ' is attached to the underside of the sensor foot A, which is possibly extended into the shaft 6 (at 8) and both the support B as well as the uninterrupted surface P with which the sensor foot A forms the thread applied.
  • the edges of the element 7 ' are expediently rounded drawn (indicated at 9). In the space 5, there is no more fluff collect, or only to a safe extent.
  • a shoe-like cover 7 " is pulled over the feeler foot A, which may be extends to the shaft 6 and the space 5 both from below as well as covering from above.
  • the support B and the surface P with which the thread acts is formed by the coating 7 ". That in the area of the space 5 and inside the coating 7 "cavity can be filled 10, e.g. Foam or other material. It would also be conceivable to close the coating 7 "at the shaft.
  • Fig. 5 is in the sensor base A a membrane-like, flat element 7 "'between the Leg 2, 3 inserted, which forms the surface P and covers the intermediate space 5, however, it is higher than the edition B. This will cause contamination and Lint impossible to collect and cause disturbances.
  • a similar flat element T is provided as in Fig. 3 for covering of the gap 5 is used.
  • 6 forms the flat element 7 ', which can have the shape of a skid, directly feeler foot A.
  • the element 7 ' attached to the legs 2, 3, which form the shaft 6.
  • the element 7 ' carries the surface P and forms the support B with which the feeler foot A acts on the thread.
  • the element 7 ' can have a rounded raised edge 9 and be extended to the shaft 6 at 8.
  • an insert 11 is inserted into the feeler foot A between the legs 2, 3, which fills the space 5 and possibly extends to the support B. or forms it.
  • the insert 11 defines an uninterrupted area P that the Prevention of lint and contamination in the space 5.
  • the insert is pulled up to the shaft 6 (as shown) and nestles for example, with an edge groove on the curvature of the legs 2, 3 (for round wire material).
  • the insert for example made of plastic exists, could also be glued in or fixed in some other way.
  • the surface P can be approximately parallel to the main plane of the feeler foot A and be even. Alternatively, however, there is also a convex downward curvature, and in longitudinal section and / or in cross section.
  • the elements 7, 7 ', 7 ", 7"' could be made of plastic or sheet metal.

  • the uninterruptible Surface P on the underside of sensor foot A is - in the direction of movement of thread Y - formed with a concave curvature or from individual, Surface sections 12 which are butt adjoining one another are formed.
  • Sensor foot A should be essentially parallel to the surface of the storage drum and have an approximately flat surface section of a size which ensures that two adjacent thread turns are covered even with thread separation.
  • the surface P can also be approximately flat in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the thread, or concave or convex curved.
