Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing melt-spun endless Multi-color yarn according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for performing the method according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • DE 196 49 809 A1 describes a method for spinning, drawing and winding a synthetic thread in which the thread is subjected to heat treatment is subjected. Before the heat treatment, the thread receives a preparation and a post-treatment after the heat treatment. The procedure is not for crimped multi-colored yarns can be used.
  • EP 0 784 109 A2 describes a method and a device for generating a described multi-colored yarns, in which differently colored or differently colored Partial threads are treated so that before a final joint Compacting the individual threads again, individually another so-called Subcompacted, merged, compacted and wound up. Again, the goal is a compactness of the threads and distinguishable To achieve colors in the yarn.
  • a the first compacting is arranged directly behind the preparation; this causes, that part of the preparation is driven out of the thread by the compacting is and is therefore lost to the manufacturing process. This part continues nebulizing the preparation due to the action of compressed air; because of this one There is a risk to the health of the operating personnel and the environment that mist is caught and disposed of. Finally, they form through the compacting created nodes an inhomogeneity and disrupt the stretching.
  • the invention is for the production of various multicolored yarn qualities such as e.g. BCF (Bulced Continuous Filament; carpet fiber) suitable.
  • BCF Bending Continuous Filament; carpet fiber
  • the process includes the Steps spinning and cooling the filaments, preparing and stripping the filaments summarized filaments, drawing, texturing, compacting and winding.
  • Filament describes in the designs a single fiber, while thread or yarn is an aggregated variety of filaments.
  • a thread or a Yarn is composed of several threads, which are before a merger processed separately.
  • the object of the invention is a method for producing melt-spun continuous filaments with the minimal use of aids, such as compressed air and preparation agent, an optimal thread run on the godets at the same time high occupancy, better behavior in further treatment steps, such as Stretching and texturing, and a great color contrast for multi-colored threads is achieved.
  • Another object is to provide a device for performing the to create method according to the invention.
  • the first object is according to the invention by the characterizing features of the claim 1 solved.
  • the preparation agent that is applied in a first place in this way has enough time to penetrate far into the thread and to close here to distribute; this process is particularly intensified when the deflection element is deflected, where the thread is subjected to flexing.
  • the second preparation causes the preparation as a whole largely evenly over the entire surface of all filaments and can be applied without a significant excess. This favors the heat transfer between thread and godet and further processing, such as. a stretch.
  • a thread keeps a compact shape without splitting. This makes it possible to pull many threads over a godet, and / or to drive a large number of loops without a compacting for this is required. At the same time, very high thread speeds are possible. The The risk of filament breakage is reduced.
  • the limitation of the amount of preparation agent according to claim 3 prevents losses and environmental damage from spraying the agent off the thread.
  • Claim 5 solves the second problem.
  • the figure shows an apparatus for producing a multi-colored melt-spun Continuous yarn using the example of three colors.
  • a spinning shaft 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 arranged in which the different dyed or staining filaments 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, which the nozzle plates 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 leave, be cooled.
  • a large number of filaments 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 is in front of the further treatment in each case combined into a single thread 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.
  • Galette 6 and deflection roller 7 form the first trigger element.
  • a second preparation device 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 arranged between the godet 6 and a first pair of godets 8 .
  • the pair of godets 8 consists of two vertically spaced, each drivable and heatable godets 8.1, 8.2 and is multiple, e.g. 5 to 13 times wrapped in threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3. Behind it is a second one Pair of godets 10, which is also wrapped several times by the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.
  • the associated godets 10.1, 10.2 can each be driven and both horizontally and also vertically spaced.
  • the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 are combined behind the godet 10.1.
  • a texturing device 11 is also arranged, followed by one drivable cooling roller 12. After the cooling roller 12, the thread 4 passes over a drivable Galette 13 and a deflection roller 14 to the compacting device 15. The thread 4 is then via a drivable godet 16 and a deflection roller 17 to a winding device 18 led.
  • the entire device from the first preparation device 5, but without the winding device 18, is expediently mounted on a frame 19.
  • the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 are in the first preparation device 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 wetted with preparation agent; the amount is e.g. approx. 75% of the total amount required.
  • the preparation agent causes that the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 largely during the further processing are compact and that good heat transfer between threads and e.g. Galette is achieved.
  • the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 are on the godet 6 and the deflection 7 withdrawn and fed to the second preparation device 9. Because the preparation, that was applied to the first preparation device 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, could largely penetrate the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, it is now possible to remove the missing Apply the amount of preparation for optimal processing. without a significant excess being required.
  • the threads 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 are then known Stretched by means of the pairs of godets 8, 10 and then combined in the Texturing device 11 crimped, cooled on the cooling roll 12, in the compacting device 15 tangled and finally by means of the winding machine 18 on spools wound.
  • the godets 13, 16 with the deflection rollers 14, 17 each serve the trigger of thread 4.
  • the device shown as an example in the figure can also be designed such that several, e.g. 2, 4, 6 or 8 threads 4 can be processed simultaneously and in parallel.
