Definitions

  • the invention relates to a yarn delivery device specified in the preamble of claim 1 Type and a thread brake body according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • the holding membrane is a rubber or plastic ring membrane with a circumferential direction constant wall thickness. Between the holding area of the brake band and arcuate bending zones are provided for the support ring. The holding membrane engages with an apron over the brake band, which is glued to the apron.
  • the thread brake body with an axial pre-tensioning force with the brake band against a trigger edge of the storage body. The thread runs over the edge of the trigger and under the brake band, which is a circumferential continuous Braking area defines and with the trigger edge a linear contact area Has.
  • the brake band In the passage area of the thread, the brake band forms a sickle-like Space between the trigger edge.
  • the crescent-shaped space runs around with the thread.
  • the thread also acts on the brake band with a frictional force that causes the brake band to deform locally, which creates waves in the tensile but flexible brake band can.
  • the holding membrane that transmits the axial pretensioning force to the brake band follows the working movements of the brake band. From the local deformations of the brake band can vary system pressure at the trigger edge of the storage body result in a non-uniform thread tension curve in the drawn thread leads.
  • Thread brake This affects the self-compensation behavior of the Thread brake, which means that the brake band itself by strong thread acceleration increasing thread tension automatically reduces the braking effect, and if the thread tension decreases due to strong thread retardation Braking effect increased in order to maintain a uniform thread tension profile.
  • annular holding membrane held outside the holding area connected to an outer support ring concentric with the brake band is.
  • the holding membrane has between the support ring and the holding area of the Brake band on a uniform wall thickness in the circumferential direction.
  • the invention has for its object a yarn delivery device of the aforementioned Art as well as a thread brake body to improve so that in operation can achieve a tension profile in the drawn thread that is as uniform as possible or undefined deformation processes in the brake band and in the rotating local To minimize the area of the brake band in which the thread between the Brake band and the trigger edge of the memory body passes through.
  • the surface areas with reduced wall thickness unexpectedly become the Support of the brake band in the holding membrane improved
  • the wall thickness of the Holding membrane or its degree of hardness can be higher than in the known holding membrane, so that the rigidity of the bracket of the brake band is higher, which is the Centering the brake band on the trigger edge also benefits due to the surface areas when pulling the thread, a contralated deformation of the holding membrane reached between the holding area and the support ring at the undefined Deformation of the brake band, which leads to irregularities in the thread tension could lead to being balanced or swallowed.
  • This effect shows is that when the thread runs along the inside of the brake band the surface area in the holding membrane at the trigger point with the reduced wall thickness absorbs forces and deforms (e.g.
  • the Brake band behaves desirably sluggish because the holding membrane through the surface areas shows sluggish response with reduced wall thickness.
  • the important self-compensation effect is even up to the highest thread take-off speeds and provided with difficult thread qualities. Another important one The advantage is that thanks to the reduced wall thickness in the surface areas no breakthroughs occur in which fluff or the thread, in particular when threading into the thread brake, would impose.
  • the surface areas are expediently distributed in the circumferential direction, so that they define spring spokes between them which are the main power transmission run from the support ring into the brake band and expediently in the Wall thickness of the holding membrane are formed, the wall thickness in the surface areas is considerably smaller.
  • the surface areas with reduced wall thickness form spaces between the spring spokes, these gaps with membrane-like membrane layers are filled in, at least adjacent to the holding area.
  • the surface areas can have any shape and a total selectable total of the usable area.
  • the holding membrane In order to give the holding membrane a soft, relatively damped spring behavior, the holding membrane should at least between the holding area and the support ring have a bend in which the spring spokes act like a spring and the Transfer forces to the brake band.
  • the circumferential widths of the surface areas are expediently different from the original widths of the spring spokes, preferably smaller. However, it would be also possible, the surface areas and the spring spokes in the circumferential direction approximately to train equally far.
  • the wall thickness in the surface areas should match the wall thickness in the spring spokes in a ratio of approx. 5: 1. This ratio may differ become.
  • Both the surface areas and the spring spokes are expediently shown in approximately radially oriented.
  • the thread brake body can thus be independent of the direction of withdrawal of the thread used by the storage body for each direction of withdrawal become. In addition, there is an effective regardless of the thread take-off direction Centering the brake band on the storage body.
  • the surface areas and the spring spokes should be form a substantially smooth surface. This is the direction of feed of the thread facing surface ensures that no fluff can get stuck and the thread cannot get caught, even if it is threading touches the surface.
  • the surface areas can be reduced Wall thickness in the surface is under a prestress, i.e. that then the Thin-walled membrane layer bridging gaps in one, so to speak stretched condition in one or more directions.
  • the bend is expediently reduced by a tapered smooth apron lengthened inside, which supports the brake band on its back and one too nervous or dampens the resilience of the brake band.
  • a cantilevered lip can be formed in the holding area, one with the apron open pocket for the brake band limited.
  • the brake band could be on the apron can be glued. In most cases, however, it is sufficient that Only insert the brake band into the insert pocket and only through the positive locking lagezusichem. In operation is anyway due to the system voltage of the brake body and the contact between the brake band and the apron the position of the Brake band set.
  • the protruding length of the lip could be about 10 to 25% of the brake bandwidth. This facilitates the assembly or the insertion and removal of the Brake band and still ensures proper positioning of the brake band, also when transporting the brake body.
  • the areas with reduced wall thickness should be at a short distance start outside of the pocket in which the brake band with its outer edge is positioned.
  • the wall thickness of the apron can be smaller than the wall thickness of the spring spokes, however larger than the wall thickness in the surface areas with reduced Wall thickness.
  • the holding membrane is expediently made of a one-storey injection molded part a tough elastic plastic such as polyurethane.
  • the formation of the for the function of the retaining diaphragm requires the spring spokes, which are separated by gaps should come into effect from each other individually, is technically simple manageable if the gaps between the spring reservoirs are similar to those of a swimming skin are bridged by a thin layer of the holding membrane. This simplifies it the manufacturing process of the holding membrane by injection molding considerably and provides the advantage that the gaps thanks to the webbed energy distribution or to participate in energy consumption and support of the brake band capital.

  • a rotary drive 2 for a winding element 2a is provided in a housing 1, the thread, for example by means of signals from a sensor device 3 temporarily stored on the storage body 4 in a sufficient supply size.

If necessary, the support ring R is an independent one Component. with which the holding membrane M is connected.
