Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for winding a thread on a carrier, with an oscillating drivable thread guide, which has a lifting movement when winding along the axis of the beam.
  • Thread laying units or thread laying are known in many versions. So are, for example, with older thread laying the thread guides on a common push rod connected to a drive attached while the latest generation of thread laying, such as in EP-A-0 453 622 and EP-A-0 829 444, a direct drive each Have thread guide by an electric motor controlled according to a program.
  • the inner flank of the flanges is not straight but, for example, conical, as with the so-called Kingspools, which are sleeves with a conical flange on one side, then exist the problem, such as the end face of the wound thread material adjacent to the conical flange can be adapted to the shape of the flange.
  • the wound thread material is always relative to the tube occupies the same position.
  • the invention is now intended to provide a device of the type mentioned in the introduction, when used, the wound thread material occupies a defined position relative to the carrier, and where there is also the winding of sleeves with flanges on the latter there is no free space or accumulation of thread material.
  • the inventive solution to this problem is characterized in that with the thread guide coupled sensor means for measuring the length and position of the carrier relative are provided to a reference point of the thread guide, and that based on this measurement the stroke of the thread guide is positioned.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that that the thread guide is at least one complete before the actual winding process Performs stroke movement in which the measurement mentioned takes place.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that that the sensor means mentioned by a coupled with the thread guide Sensor or formed by the thread guide itself and connected to a controller, in which a clear assignment of the signals of the sensor means to the respective stroke position of the thread guide.
  • the thread guide moves along before the actual winding or production process begins the sleeve forming the carrier and determines the length and with the help of the sensor the position of the sleeve relative to the coordinate system forming the reference point for this measurement of the sensor.
  • the control an assignment between the sensor signals and the stroke position of the thread guide control, the stroke length and the position of the material to be wound up optimally adapt to the current sleeve dimensions on the sleeve. You can do this Call the step the initialization of the basic stroke.
  • any flange contour that may be present for example scanned at a king's pool.
  • a contour scan can for example, in that according to a further preferred embodiment the device according to the invention with a carrier having at least one flange the sensor means are formed by a mechanical sensor and the thread guide before Actual winding process at least two complete lifting movements in different Distances from the jacket of the wearer, and that in the controller from the sensor signals the contour of the at least one flange is calculated.
  • the initialization of the basic stroke can be expanded to a dynamic measurement by one starts the machine after initialization and the skewers at full speed drives and then carries out a calibration process. In this measurement it is taken into account that the sleeves are often on the skewer at higher speeds slip slightly and get into their final position.
  • a special sensor coupled to the thread guide e.g. can be an optical or inductive sensor
  • its signal during the calibration process continuously monitored.
  • a sudden change in the sensor signal is considered Transition interpreted from the sleeve's winding jacket to a flange. This in control clearly identifiable position is registered and clearly assigned to the sleeve.
  • At a complete lifting movement of the thread guide in both directions results in two coordinates, which indicate the length between the flanges.
  • this length is the basic stroke, which denotes the area in which winding can take place.
  • Corresponding winding laws for the laying speed and other parameters then related to this basic stroke in the control. If an optical or inductive sensor is used, it may be advantageous if the sleeves the inner edges of the flanges have clearly identifying and optically or inductively detectable markings.
  • the winding unit consists essentially of a motor-driven spindle 1 with a Positioning ring 2 for receiving and holding a flange sleeve 3, each with a flange 4 their end faces and from a thread laying 5.
  • a thread (not shown) obtained from a supply spool is wound into a winding body become.
  • the thread laying 5 contains a thread guide 6 as the most important element, which performs an oscillating traversing movement along the axis of the sleeve 3.
  • each tension member 7 is for driving of the thread guide 5 is provided in one of the two lifting directions.
  • the engine 10 is, for example a stepper motor.
  • the motor 10 is a sensor 12 for detecting the rotational position of the drive wheel 11 and thus the Traversing position of the thread guide 5 assigned.
  • the sensor 12 is preferably one of a kind Transmitting and receiving diode existing photoelectric sensor that detects the movement of a with the rotor of the motor 10 rigidly connected encoder disc (not shown).
  • the position of the rotor has a fixed transmission ratio to the position of the thread guide 6 on.
  • sensor 12 reference is made to EP-A-0 829 444 and to the corresponding one U.S. Application No. 08 / 931,607 referenced.
  • the motor 10 and the sensor 12 are with a Controller 13 connected, which controls the motor 10 on the one hand and the sensor on the other 12 constantly experiences the current rotor position. The controller 13 therefore knows at all times the current position of the thread guide 6.
  • the thread guide 6 is a sensor for the position of the inner flanks of the flanges 4 of the sleeve 3 assigned.
  • This sensor which is preferably mounted on the thread guide 6, is for example an optical, inductive or mechanical sensor, wherein when using an optical or inductive sensor on the sleeve 3 two the position of the inner flanks of the flanges 4 indicating markings can be provided.
  • the mechanical sensor is for example a probe tip coupled to the thread guide 6, preferably a probe tip connected to it 14, or the thread guide himself.
  • the thread guide 6 is without thread moved along the sleeve 3 and it is based on the signal from the sensor, the distance between the inner flanks of the flanges 4, the basic stroke, and the position of these inner flanks relative to Coordinate system of the thread guide 6 is determined.
  • the control "knows" at which positions of the drive wheel 11 the inner flanks of the flanges 4 lie and can calculate the length of the stroke of the thread guide 6 as well align this stroke relative to the flanges 4.
  • the corresponding to the inner flanks of the flanges 4 Thread guide positions are written in the buffer of the control 13 and subtracted from each other. The result is the free length between the flanges 4 and can be used for determining the stroke length and for the correct positioning of the thread laying 5 can be used.
  • You can also use this static determination of the basic stroke drive the spindles 1 with the sleeves 3 and then repeat the measuring process.
  • the system can compensate for any shifts caused by the rotation of the sleeves 3 on the spindles 1 and the alignment of the stroke on the sleeves accordingly correct.
  • the position of the flanges 4 is due a sudden change in the sensor signal is detected.
  • a mechanical Scanner probe tip 14 or thread guide 6
  • this is on the side Flange run up, which causes a change in the motor current of the drive motor. In all In such cases, the position of the flanges is clearly recognized.
  • this contour with a mechanical Scanners can be determined by using this (thread guide 6 possibly with probe tip 14) at least two measuring operations at different distances from the jacket of the sleeve 3 become.
  • the scanner is used on different Set the contour of the respective flange with different stroke positions of the thread guide 6 hit.
  • the controller 13 can from the coordinates of these impact points calculate the course of the contour. It is also possible to use the mechanical scanner to be designed so that it scans the sleeve geometry like a contour lathe.
  • the thread laying 5 and thus also the thread guide 6 at such a distance the spindle 1 is arranged so that the mechanical scanner does not touch the flanges 4, the distance between spindle 1 and thread laying is determined before the start of the measuring process 5 reduced so far that the scanner surely runs onto the flanges.
  • a thread guide is used for the measuring process mounted mechanical scanner, the difference in height between the sleeve surface and slip spindle detected when it runs over the sleeve edge.
  • optical detection can also of the sleeve edges.
