Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for the processing of textile materials, and in particular to the processing of such materials by passing them in contact with a liquid.
  • the tubes are pressurised by means of compressed air to prevent the escape of liquid from the processing chamber.
  • the chamber should be hinged so that it may be opened to expose the material path for threading and then closed to seal it for processing.
  • the above described arrangement does not provide for easy threading of yarn into the chamber of such apparatus.
  • Each labyrinth seal must be removed from the chamber, threaded with a metal wire and returned to the chamber, so that the yarn, which is attached to the wire, can be pulled through the whole length of the processing apparatus. This is difficult and time consuming, particularly in the case of a typical textile machine having 200 or more processing stations.
  • the invention provides apparatus for processing textile material in which the textile material is passed through a liquid in a chamber, comprising a body in which the chamber is formed with an inlet and an outlet for the textile material and seals at the inlet and outlet adapted for the passage of the textile material into the apparatus, through the chamber and out of the apparatus, wherein the body is formed in two relatively movable parts which on movement from a processing configuration to a threading configuration expose a path for the textile material through the seals and the chamber.
  • the parts may be separable, and the apparatus may comprise at least one clamp operable to clamp the parts in the processing configuration.
  • the apparatus may comprise at least one locating pin operable to locate the parts in the processing configuration.
  • the seals may be labyrinth seals, and each seal may comprise a passageway communicating with the outside of the body and the chamber, the passageway having a sealing region dimensioned to allow the passage of the textile material therethrough.
  • the passageway may have a plurality of sealing regions and regions of enlarged cross-section disposed between successive sealing regions. Each seal may comprise four such sealing regions.
  • At least one sealing region may have non-ambient fluid pressure applied thereto, and the fluid may be air.
  • At least one sealing region may have compressed air supplied thereto.
  • the fluid pressure applied to at least one sealing region at the textile material outlet end of the apparatus may be greater than that applied to at least one sealing region at the textile material inlet end of the apparatus.
  • the compressed air may be at a pressure of at least 1 psi (0.07 bar).
  • At least one sealing region at the textile material outlet end of the apparatus may have suction applied thereto, in which case at least one sealing region at the textile material inlet end of the apparatus may have a drain therein. At least one sealing region at the textile material inlet end of the apparatus may also have suction applied thereto.
  • the suction may be up to 4" (10 cm) water gauge.

  • the chamber may have at least one inlet for the cooling liquid to the chamber and at least one outlet for the cooling liquid from the chamber, in which case the liquid inlet may be downstream (of the textile material flow) of the liquid outlet to provide a flow of liquid in the chamber counter to the direction of passage of the textile material therethrough.
  • the chamber may also have at least one inlet for a heating fluid to the chamber and at least one outlet for the heating fluid from the chamber, in which case the heating fluid inlet and the heating fluid outlet may be upstream of the cooling liquid outlet and inlets.
  • the heating fluid may be steam.
  • the heating fluid inlet may be downstream of the heating fluid outlet to provide a flow of heating fluid in the chamber counter to the direction of passage of the textile material therethrough.

  • a textile material processing apparatus 10 comprising a body 11.
  • the body 11 consists of a first part 12 and a second part 13, between which is a gasket seal 14. If the mating surfaces of the upper part 12 and lower part 13 are optically flat, or substantially so, the gasket 14 may be dispensed with.
  • a chamber 15 formed by a recess 16 in the first part 12 and a recess 17 in the second part 13.
  • An inlet 18 for the processing liquid extends into the chamber 15 through the second part 13
  • an outlet 19 for the processing liquid extends from the chamber 15 through the first part 12.
  • the first part 12 should be higher than the second part 13 to ensure that the chamber 15 is always filled with liquid during processing.
  • the inlet 18 is connected to a supply 20 of processing liquid, and the liquid from the outlet 19 may be recirculated to the supply 20.
  • the supply of liquid may be controlled dependent on the properties of the textile material, e.g. yam denier or count.
  • a drain plug 21 is provided in the second part 13.
  • the liquid is water, but it may be a mixture of air and water, or comprise or include additives such as a dye, spin finish oil or other chemical for treating the textile material, or a detergent for cleaning the apparatus 10.
  • the liquid used may be superheated water, oil or a metal such as Wood's metal having a relatively low melting point below that of the textile material being processed.
  • the inlet passageway 22 and outlet passageway 23 are formed as labyrinth seals, comprising sealing regions 24 and enlarged regions 25. Communicating with at least one sealing region 24 of the inlet passageway 22 and at least one sealing region 24 of the outlet passageway 23 are air passageways 26. Compressed air, preferably at a minimum pressure of 1 psi (0.07 bar), is applied to the sealing regions
  • the upper and lower parts 12, 13 of the apparatus 10 are held in sealing contact in the processing configuration by clamps 27, of which there may be four although only two are shown for clarity.
  • clamps 27, of which there may be four although only two are shown for clarity To thread the textile material into the apparatus 10, the supply 20 of liquid thereto is halted. The supply of compressed air may also be halted. The drain plug 21 is removed so that the chamber 15 is emptied of liquid, and the clamps 27 are released. The upper and lower parts 12, 13 may then be separated, whereby the apparatus 10 is in a threading configuration which serves to expose the path 22, 17, 23 for the textile material. After locating the textile material along this path, the parts 12, 13 are then brought back into contact. Locating pins 28 ensure correct relative disposition of the parts 12, 13 in the processing configuration. The clamps 27 are secured and the liquid supply 20 and the compressed air are restored so that processing can commence. Such a procedure is relatively simple and quick compared with that with the previously known arrangements and requires no threading aids such as wires or plumb lines.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 there is shown a textile material processing apparatus 30 which is generally of similar construction as apparatus 10 described above and corresponding parts are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the air passageway 26 at the outlet end of the apparatus 30 has suction applied thereto. This will have the combined effect of preventing or strongly inhibiting the flow of water from this low pressure region to the outside of the apparatus 30 and also removing water from the yam passing from the chamber 15.
  • a drain 31 for water is provided at the inlet end of the apparatus 30.
  • Suction may also be applied to an air passageway (26 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2) at the inlet end. Particularly in this latter case, it may be possible to dispense with the gasket 14 and to manufacture the apparatus 30 to lower engineering standards than apparatus 10, since leaks of liquid outwardly of the apparatus 30 would tend to be prevented by inward airflow.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 there is shown a textile material processing apparatus 50 which is generally of similar construction as apparatuses 10 and 30 described above and corresponding parts are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the heating and cooling are performed in the same chamber 15.
  • the cooling liquid enters the chamber 15 at the downstream end thereof through inlet 18 and leaves through outlet 19 located further upstream. Further upstream still, the heating fluid enters the chamber 15 through inlet 51 and leaves from the upstream end of the chamber 15 through outlet 52.
  • This embodiment is particularly convenient if the cooling liquid is water and the heating fluid is steam or superheated water, since mixing of the fluids does not create any problems.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown a typical threadline diagram of a textile yam false twist processing machine 70.
  • a yam 71 is withdrawn overend from a supply package 72 by means of a first feed device 73.
  • the feed device 73 shown is a pair of nip rollers, but a godet or apron feed arrangement could be used.
  • Another feed device 74 feeds the processed (textured) yarn 71 to a winding arrangement 75. Between the first feed device 73 and the other feed device 74, the yam 71 may be drawn as it is textured (simultaneous draw-texturing).
  • a further feed device may be provided downstream of the first feed device 73 to draw the yam 71 therebetween (sequential draw-texturing).
  • a heating, cooling and false twisting apparatus 76 In the texturing zone between the first feed device 73 (or further feed device) and the other feed device 74 is a heating, cooling and false twisting apparatus 76.
  • the combined apparatus 76 is an apparatus of the type
  • the combined apparatus 76 is supplied with cold water (or other cold liquid) through the inlet 18 and the water passes from the apparatus 76 through the outlet 19. This causes the cooling water to flow counter to the yam 71 , thereby maximising the heat transfer from the yam 71 to the water, and thereby minimising the length of the cooling apparatus 76 that is required to cool the yam 71 sufficiently for the twist inserted therein to be set prior to untwisting.
  • a separate heating apparatus is disposed upstream of the cooling apparatus, it may be of any known type, such as a plate heater or a heated roller or godet. However, as shown in this embodiment, the heating fluid enters the combined apparatus 76 at inlet
  • the heating fluid flows counter to the yam 71, thereby maximising the heat transfer to the yam 71 from the fluid, and minimise the length of the apparatus 76 required to heat the yam 71 sufficiently for effective processing.
  • the apparatuses 10, 30 or 76 are configured as shown in end view in Figure 8 to provide a combined heating, cooling and twisting apparatus in a single unit.
  • the cooling liquid inlet 18 and outlet 19 are arranged to be substantially tangential to the chamber 15. This configuration creates a rotational flow of water within the chamber 15 around the yam 71, thereby applying a twisting torque to the yam 71 and providing the means whereby the yam 71 is twisted.
  • This arrangement of heating, cooling and twisting in a single unit reduces the size, complexity, cost and power requirements of the machine 70.
  • FIG. 9 there is shown a typical threadline diagram of a textile processing machine 90 for intermingling one or more multifilament yams or comingling two or more yams.
  • the multifilament yam 91 is withdrawn from a supply package 92 or other supply by a first feed device 93 and fed to the intermingling apparatus 94.
  • Another feed device 95 feeds the intermingled yam 91 to a winding arrangement 96.
  • the relative speed of the feed devices 93, 95 is adjusted to the optimum tension conditions in the yarn 91 for intermingling.
  • the intermingling apparatus 94 is an apparatus of the type 10 or 30 described above.
  • the apparatus 94 is supplied with water or other liquid through an inlet 97 and the water passes from the apparatus 94 through an outlet 98.
  • the water inlet 97 and the water outlet 98 are disposed diametrically opposite each other substantially centrally of the apparatus 94 both longitudinally and laterally as shown in end view in Figure 10.
  • This configuration causes the water in the chamber 15 to impinge directly at maximum velocity on the yam 91 to intermingle the filaments thereof.
  • a second yam 99 is withdrawn from a second supply package 100 or other supply by the first feed device 93 or a separate feed device (not shown) and fed to the apparatus 94 which in this instance functions as a comingling apparatus.
  • the comingling apparatus 94 has the same construction and operates in the same manner as the intermingling apparatus 94 described above.
  • an apparatus which has the advantage of minimising the length of a heating or cooling zone in a textile material processing machine.
  • the textile material may be in fibrous or sheet material form, in which case the sealing regions will be configured to just allow passage of the fibrous or sheet material therethrough.
  • More than one inlet for water to the chamber 15, and more than one outlet for water from the chamber 15 may be provided to increase the rotational or impinging force of the water on the yarn.
  • the shape of the chamber 15 and/or of the enlarged inlet and outlet regions may be chosen to be suitable for the particular application of the apparatus and the material to be processed thereby.
  • the apparatus may be adapted to process two or more yams separately, with the yams travelling through parallel inlet and outlet passageways and through the chamber in parallel trajectories. Furthermore, the apparatus may be used to alter the bulk or twist level of sliver, roving or spun yams, in which case the supply of yam to the apparatus could be directly from a suitable spinning apparatus. Instead of the upper and lower parts 12, 13 being separable, they may be joined together by a longitudinally extending hinge.
