Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for removing thread components located on sleeves and one Device for carrying out the method.
  • the sleeves have the shape of hollow bodies. Because of their function they are also called thread spools designated. They are a common means for that temporary storage of a thread, for example can be in the form of yarn or twine. Of them the Thread can be easily unwound, but that The problem is that during unwinding Thread components remain on the tube.
  • the amount of remaining on the sleeves Thread components vary depending on the Textile machines in which the sleeves are used, as well as parameters of the thread processing. It can Thread can be easily unwound along its main length, however, remnants remain on the sleeve.
  • the Remnants of the thread can be individual thread components but it can also be several hundred Act turns.
  • a known method for removing Thread components is that on the sleeve thread present essentially on all turns is cut at least once.
  • the thread is cut with a suitable cutting tool, for example, a knife.
  • a suitable cutting tool for example, a knife.
  • the invention is based on the object Generic method to create with Thread components removed in the simplest possible way can be.
  • the invention is also based on the object Generate device with which the Procedure can be carried out.
  • this object is achieved in that a generic method is carried out so that at least one jet of liquid onto the surface the sleeve acts.
  • a particularly simple and convenient way of Procedure in which the thread is fed by feeding one under Pressurized liquid, especially water, is separated can be achieved in that the Nozzle essentially parallel to an outer surface of the Sleeve is slidably mounted.
  • the invention further relates to a device for removing on at least one sleeve existing thread components so that it contains at least one nozzle so arranged is that one emerging from the nozzle Liquid jet at least at one point on the Surface of the sleeve can get.
  • the device contains a Fasteners to one or more sleeves so keep one or more jets of water at a time impinge directly on surfaces of the sleeves can.
  • the individual sleeves are preferably so stored that the liquid after hitting it the surface of the sleeve, or the Surfaces of the sleeves can run freely.
  • the sleeves are during the Processing process in a processing chamber, in which is normal air, if necessary due to the water jets acting on it contains.
  • An expedient embodiment of the method and Device are characterized in that the Water jet one for cutting the thread has sufficient pressure, preferably so is chosen that the surface of the sleeve is not is damaged.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method and Device are characterized in that the Water jet has a thickness that is essential is less than the surface of the sleeve.
  • the water jet has a thickness of a few mm 2 or cm 2 , while the surface of the sleeve can be considerably larger.
  • the water jet so is performed that he at different from each other Impact points on the surface of the sleeve.
  • An expedient embodiment of the method and Device are characterized in that the Device contains at least one nozzle, so is arranged that one emerging from the nozzle Liquid jet at least at one point on the Surface of the sleeve can get.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method and Device are characterized in that the nozzle in essentially parallel to an outer surface of the sleeve is slidably mounted.
  • the nozzle in essentially perpendicular to the running direction of the thread is slidably mounted.
  • the jet nozzle be so is stored that it has a beam direction at which is the jet facing the nozzle Surface section of the sleeve at an angle between 25 Degrees and 75 degrees, preferably about 35 degrees to 45 Degree, hits.
  • the device several fasteners for the sleeves and several Contains nozzles, the nozzles being movable together.
  • the nozzle in essentially perpendicular to the running direction of the thread is slidably mounted. This will make one straight Cutting line created.
  • the separating device shown in Fig. 1 has one Lay-on station 10 in which an opening 20 having sleeves 30 are placed on mandrels 40.
  • the mandrels 40 are in size at the opening of the Adjusted sleeves.
  • the sleeves 30 usually have standardized Dimensions on.
  • the opening 20 is preferably so large that the sleeves have a hollow shape.
  • the sleeves 30 can be placed on the mandrels 40 different ways are done, with a manual The design effort is particularly low.
  • the mandrels 40 are supported by a suitable funding 50 transported.
  • a suitable funding 50 transported.
  • the conveyor 50 Conveyor belt 60 and a motor 70 The design of the conveyor 50 with a conveyor belt 60 and a Motor 70 has the advantage that to drive the Conveyor belt 60 requires only a single motor 70 is. This allows all mandrels 40 to be common are driven.
  • the conveyor belt 60 is the entire one Continuous belt through processing station.
  • the funding 50 can also be different Be designed in such a way, for example individual mandrels 40 on supports, for example in Sledge shape, can be transported.
  • the processing station has another component a separation station 80.
  • the separation station 80 is in Direction of the belt following the Laying station 10 arranged.
  • the conveyor belt 60 is arranged so that the Separation station 80 above the lay-up station 10 is arranged.
  • the separation station 80 has at least one, preferably several nozzles that are perpendicular to the main axes of the Thorns 40 and thus also perpendicular to the main axes of the sleeves 30 located on the thorns 40 are slidably mounted.
  • the Separation station 80 eight nozzles arranged side by side 110 on.
  • the nozzles 110 face the axes of FIG Thorns angled from 35 degrees to about 45 degrees.
  • the nozzles 110 are together on one Rod 120 arranged. This allows all of the nozzles 110 be proceeded together.
  • the rod 120 is on two guide bodies 125 two guide rails 128 slidably mounted.
  • the mandrels 40 are moved in cycles, so that many sleeves 30 are placed in the separation station 80 as the number of nozzles 110 in the Separation station 80 corresponds.
  • the nozzles 110 consist of a rustproof one Material, especially stainless steel.
  • the Carrying out the procedure put the rays on the Side of the sleeve 30 to that of the disc-shaped Widening ("hat brim") 38 facing away from the sleeves 30 is. Then the nozzles 110 are moved so that the water jet parallel to the surface up to Start of the "hat brim" is performed. Subsequently the nozzles 110 are retracted, where it turns out to be has proven advantageous that the nozzles 110 are not quite be reduced. This will cause damage of the sleeve surfaces avoided.
  • the separation station 80 and / or water used in the cleaning station 130 caught on the sleeves and is then used for new separation processes.
  • the separation station 80 there is no under the separation station 80 shown catch basin arranged.
  • the water is used by suitable Sieves cleaned.
  • the separation station Withdrawal station 140 There is a connection to the separation station Withdrawal station 140.
  • a particularly compact design the removal station is achieved in that in it a manual removal of the sleeves 30 is provided. It is equally possible, the sleeves 30 in the Extraction station 140 in another way, for example by gripping devices.
  • the sleeves 30 are on the Mandrels 40 inserted. Then the conveyor belt moved forward by as many positions as it is corresponds to the number of sleeves in the Cleaning station 130 from the thread remnants at the same time can be exempted.
  • the commercially available valve shown is under pressure standing water through hoses 115 to nozzles 110 headed.
  • the nozzles 115 are above the sleeves 30, preferably substantially parallel to the surface of the sleeves 30, along the major axes of the sleeves 30 method.
  • the Sleeves 30 transported to a cleaning station 130.
  • the cleaning station 130 contains commercially available ones Spray heads 135 from which water is applied to the sleeves 130 is sprayed. This will result in the separation process remaining on the surfaces of the sleeves 30 Thread components removed.
