Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for removing Thread components located on sleeves.
  • the sleeves have the shape of hollow bodies. by virtue 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 present as yarn or twine. Of them the Thread can be easily unwound, but that The problem is that during unwinding Thread components remain on the sleeve.
  • the extent of remaining on the sleeves Thread components vary depending on the Textile machines in which the sleeves are used, as well as parameters of 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 the thread on the sleeve in the Cut at least once on all turns becomes.
  • the thread is cut with a suitable cutting tool, for example a knife.
  • a suitable cutting tool for example a knife.
  • US 4,965,917 discloses an apparatus in which three Nozzles are directed onto a sleeve with a thread that extends partly in opposite directions, partly in the same direction along the main axis move the sleeve.
  • WO 00/64796 which falls under Article 54 (3) EPC, discloses an apparatus using sleeves threads on it at least on a conveyor belt be fed to a nozzle, the threads with a Liquid jet cut.
  • the invention has for its object a generic To create device with which a procedure is carried out through the thread components on as possible can be easily removed.
  • this object is achieved by a device the features of claim 1 solved.
  • nozzles in the essentially perpendicular to the running direction of the thread are slidably mounted.
  • the nozzles do so are stored that they have 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 meets.
  • 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 body 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 Endless belt running through the 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 two, 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, whereby 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 Spikes 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 simultaneously from the thread remnants 35 can be exempted.
  • the commercially available valve shown is under pressure standing water through hoses 115 to nozzles 110 directed.
  • 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.
