Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic bobbin changer for a parallel automatic winder on which edge disc coils are spooled on a winding station by a yarn laying unit, wherein the edge disc coils placed on a bobbin, transported to the winding station and bespult in a vertical position.
  • the coil holder is formed by an oblique chute on which the empty coils slip to the winding station and the full coils remain until their removal.
  • This system does not allow a safe supply of empty tubes, as this strongly depends on the friction between the coil and slide.
  • the full bobbins tend to tilt on the sloping chute, and the required to avoid damage to the coil surface separation of the coils at the winding station can be realized only with considerable mechanical effort.
  • the invention will now be given a bobbin changer for a parallel winder, which allows a safe supply of empty bobbins to the winding station and a coil separation with simple means and prevents the tilting of the full bobbins.
  • the bobbin receptacle is formed by a turntable which has separate receiving positions for several bobbins and a drive for positioning the bobbin to be spooled in the winding station.
  • the empty bobbins are not transported by slipping on a sloping chute but by rotation of the turntable to the winding station, the coils are already separated by the separate receiving positions of the turntable and no longer need to be separated. A risk of tilting the full bobbin is no longer because the turntable has no oblique, but a horizontal position.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the inventive bobbin changer is characterized in that the turntable has at the receiving positions first openings for the passage of the lower part of a provided for fixing the coil in the winding station coil holder.
  • a second preferred embodiment is characterized in that the drive of the turntable is formed by a frictional wheel engaging on its circumference.
  • the friction wheel is preferably driven by a stepper motor.
  • a third preferred embodiment is characterized by a sensor for detecting the rotational position of the turntable.
  • This sensor is preferably formed by a reed contact.
  • a fourth preferred embodiment of the bobbin changer according to the invention is characterized by a centrally mounted on the turntable centering disc provided with the receiving positions second openings or recesses whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the edge discs of the coils.
  • a fifth preferred embodiment of the inventive bobbin changer is characterized by means for locking the turntable in selected rotational positions, which are formed by a provided at the edge of each first opening groove-shaped bulge and a latchable in this locking pin.
  • a further preferred embodiment is characterized in that after completion of the winding process by producing a full bobbin in the winding station a rotational movement of the turntable takes place by a division to the next picking position.
  • the completion of the winding process in the winding station is preferably calculated by the machine control on the basis of the wound yarn length or the current package diameter.
  • a further preferred embodiment is characterized by a full coil sensor for the shutdown of the machine when no empty coil is present on the turntable.
  • winding station consists essentially of an aluminum profile 1 with a arranged in the region of the upper end of the motor 2 for driving a coil S during the winding process, consisting of an upper part 3 and a lower part 4 means for fixing the coil S in the Winding station and a laterally attached to the aluminum profile 1 thread laying 5.
  • the thread laying 5 is of the in the EP-A-1 209 114 described type and includes a yarn guide F, which is connected to a deflection rollers 6, 7 running, flexible, motor driven traversing element 8 and a traversing movement in the longitudinal direction of the coil S, ie in the vertical direction, executes.
  • the guide roller 6 is as a drive wheel for the drive of the traversing element 8 and the guide roller 7 designed as a biasing member for the compensation of voltage fluctuations of the traversing element.
  • the thread laying 5 is on the EP-A-1 209 114 referenced, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the winding station is a in Fig. 2 assigned in more detail bobbin changer having substantially a motor-driven carousel-like turntable 9, which is mounted on a rotatable axle 10.
  • the turntable 9 and the axle 10 and other components of the bobbin changer are mounted on a plate-like carousel holder 11 mounted on the automatic winder.
  • the drive of the turntable is effected by a driven by a stepper motor 12 friction wheel 13 which engages the circumference of the turntable 9.
  • the stepper motor 12 is mounted on a motor support 22 connected to the carousel holder 11.
  • the turntable 9 has a plurality, as shown four, receiving positions for coils S;
  • the centering of in Fig. 2 Spotted dotted coils at the receiving positions carried by a mounted on the top of the turntable 9 interchangeable centering 14, which has recesses or steps 15 at the receiving positions, whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the edge discs 16 of the coil S and which define the receiving positions.
  • different centering 14 are used, which, as can be seen from the figures, edge discs 16 with a large diameter over the edge of the turntable 9 and the centering 14 can protrude laterally.
  • the depressions 15 of the centering disc 14 are in this case no complete circles, so that the centering disc 14 has approximately the shape of a Maltese cross.
  • the turntable 9 has at each receiving position, a first bore 17 which is provided for the passage of the lower part 4 of the means for fixing the coil S in the winding station.
  • Each of the first holes 17 has at the edge of a groove-shaped recess 18 which is provided for engaging a spring-mounted locking pin 19.
  • Each position of the turntable 9 is detected individually by a sensor 20 arranged on the carousel holder 11. This is a reed contact, which is actuated by a next to each first bore 17 provided second bore 21.
  • the illustrated embodiment of the turntable 9 with four receiving positions is to be understood only as an example, of course, could be provided when using coils S with smaller marginal discs 16 more than four receiving positions.
  • the automatic winder empty coils S are placed in the recesses 15 of the centering disc 14 on the turntable 9, which is driven by the friction wheel 13 in the counterclockwise direction (seen from above). If there is no spool S at the winding station, or if a spool is currently fully spooled, the turntable 9 is rotated by one pitch and the next empty spool S is transported to the winding station.
  • the automatic winder recognizes that the winding process is finished by means of the wound yarn length, which is measured directly by the delivery mechanism, or by reaching the bobbin diameter.
  • a full-spool sensor 23 arranged in the area of the winding station stops the automatic winder when no empty spool is left on the turntable.
  • the motor 2 and the thread laying 5 are stopped, the coil in question is released from the holding device 3, 4, the locking pin 19 is released and the turntable 9 is further rotated by one pitch. The full spool can now be removed. After stopping the motor 2, the yarn is clamped at a fixed position and cut and released after starting the motor 2 so that the beginning comes to rest under the first layer of yarn.
