Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of the textile industry, especially machines for assembling sheets of threads between two wire processing machines, such as heat-setting machines and winding or coupling or steaming and winding machines or of coupling or between means for feeding a multitude of wires and weaving or tufting machines, and relates to a device wire assembly between such wire processing machines.
  • These wire assembly apparatus operate according to two principles. These principles consist of in an intermingling with a swirling jet of air that achieves a entanglement of the end fibers of two ends of wire to be assembled, that is, when the material constituting the son allows it, namely in the case of son thermoplastics, by melting the two ends together.
  • USA 6,073,434 and US 5,003,676 respectively describe devices which allow the simultaneous assembly of a plurality of pairs of son and who perform the assembly of each pair of wire following one of the principles outlined above.
  • US 6,073,434 discloses a device, in which each wire, coming from both the machine and upstream than the downstream machine, is inserted individually into the medium assembly by entanglement. It follows that the insertion of the wires requires a long and tedious intervention.
  • USA 5,297,323 discloses a device that moves an assembly unit in front of each pair of wires to be assembled and realizes thus an assembly of pairs of wires one after the other.
  • said wire assembly device is characterized in that it consists essentially of a support frame, a means of individually guiding the wires coming from the machine downstream and of simultaneous insertion of all these threads into an assembly means by entanglement, by fusion or otherwise, by means of feeding and holding temporary individual son from the machine upstream, by a simultaneous insertion device of all the wires coming from the machine of upstream processing in the assembly means by entanglement, by fusion or else, by locking assemblies in position of the wires before and during assembly by entanglement, fusion or otherwise, and by means of cutting free ends of the son before said assembly.
  • FIG. 1 of the attached drawings represents, by way of example, a device to be mounted between two wire processing machines, such as heat-setting and winding machines or machines for steaming and winding or winding or between means of feeding a multitude of yarns and weaving machines or tufting, with a view to assembling the threads.
  • wire processing machines such as heat-setting and winding machines or machines for steaming and winding or winding or between means of feeding a multitude of yarns and weaving machines or tufting, with a view to assembling the threads.
  • the means 2 for individually guiding the wires coming from the downstream machine and simultaneous insertion of all these wires in a way 3 assembly by entanglement, fusion or otherwise, is constituted by a grommet plate 11 for guiding the wires coming from the machine downstream, secured between the parallel side flanges 10 of the support frame 1, and by a movable counter plate 12 movable parallel to the eyelet plate 11, via axes (not shown) provided near its edge upper and cooperating with guides 13 provided in the side flanges
  • the guides 13 extend in front of the eyelet plate 11 and describe, between their ends close to the latter, a trajectory not rectilinear deviating from said eyelet plate 11, their so-called ends being provided with notches for stopping and holding in position.
  • the guides 13 have a semi-cylindrical shape, however, they could also have another curvilinear shape, even a broken line shape.
  • the movable counterplate 12 is advantageously provided, near its upper edge, at least one handle, not shown. With such a handle, the movable counterplate 12 can be easily brought from its rest position, in normal operation of downstream and upstream processing, at its position of placing wires coming from the downstream machine and inserting these wires into the medium 3 assembly.
  • the means 3 assembly entanglement, fusion or other is of the type known as "splicer" and is in the form of a longitudinal bar extending between the parallel lateral flanges 10 and provided at regular intervals with notches 3 'for receiving the ends of the wires to be connected, a pneumatic nozzle or a heating device opening inside each notch 3 'to achieve pneumatic entanglement or fusion welding.
  • the longitudinal bar forming the means 3 may be provided on its upper face with a partial closure bar from the upper part of the notches 3 '.
  • Such a closing bar is known per se and is movably mounted transversely on the bar forming the means 3, so as to allow pinching of the front and during the beginning of the pneumatic entanglement operation or during the fusion welding.
  • the means 3 assembly by entanglement, melting or otherwise is mounted between side flanges parallel 10 with possibility of slight displacements parallel to the ends of the son to be assembled by entanglement or by welding, for example via a pneumatic cylinder, electric or mechanical, during the assembly operation.
  • the order of this displacement of the means 3 can be effected via a PLC or by another automation taking into account the beginning of the entanglement or welding operation and the total duration of the this operation.
  • the movable counterplate 12 is applied against the plate to eyelets 11 during periods of normal operation of wire treatment and can be moved into an insertion position simultaneous of all the wires coming from the machine downstream in the means 3 assembly by entanglement, fusion or otherwise, by performing a movement following a distance trajectory, spreading, in a first time, the threads of the eyelet plate 11 and then bringing them back simultaneously, each in a notch 3 'of the assembly means 3 ( Figure 3).
  • the means 4 of supply and temporary individual maintenance of son from the upstream machine is preferentially under form a pinch comb of each wire individually, this comb being disposed in the position of simultaneous insertion of all these wires in the corresponding notches 3 'of the assembly means 3, in the means of receiving and holding the support frame 1, in the form of housings for the ends of said comb.
  • the device 5 for simultaneous insertion of the wires coming from the machine upstream in the means 3 assembly by entanglement, by fusion or other is advantageously constituted in the form of a bar of detour and guide with parallel circumferential grooves of a number equal to that of the notches of the comb forming the means 4, as well as notches of the assembly means 3 and whose spacing of the grooves is equal to that of said notches 3 ', and is mounted on the support frame 1 of displaceably in guide grooves 14 of the lateral flanges parallel 10.
  • These guiding grooves 14 extend preferentially substantially parallel to the guide grooves 13 of the counterplate mobile 12 of the means 2 and externally to these grooves 13 relative to the center of the flanges 10, these guide grooves 14 being provided at each end of a stop and hold notch, as well as a notch intermediate stop and hold 14 ', close to its upper end and away from the means 2.
  • the detour and guiding bar forming the device 5 can be moved from a lower rest position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 in an intermediate position ( Figure 4), in which the comb forming the middle 4 can be passed over said bar of detour and guidance and in front of the middle 2, with a view to its placement on the support frame 1 (FIG. 5), in its holding position represented at Figure 1. It follows that each individual wire, held by the comb forming the means 4, is guided in a peripheral groove of the bar forming the device 5 and, after mounting said comb in its position of maintenance in the support frame 1, each wire will be in front of a notch 3 'of the assembly means 3 by entanglement, fusion or other, all the son being set up simultaneously.
  • the means 9 for cutting the free ends of the front wires the assembly consists of a cutting blade mounted on a moving carriage and transversely guided under the assembly means 3, close immediate of the latter.
  • Sets 6 to 8 for blocking in position of the front and during assembly by entanglement, fusion or other consist, basically, in three crosspieces nipping the wires individually, these sleepers being, on the one hand, arranged respectively, the first, 6, under the bar forming the middle 3 and away from the latter, the second, 7, between the first, 6, and the cutting means 9 mounted movable under the bar forming the means 3 and the third, 8, above the bar forming the medium 3 and, on the other hand, each provided with its own means pinch actuation.
  • the first crosspiece 6 and the second cross 7 are movable perpendicular to their longitudinal extension by guidance in the parallel side flanges 10 and are affected, respectively, the first, 6, at the pinch of the son of the sheet of son from the downstream processing machine and the second, 7, at simultaneous pinching of the son of the sheet of threads from the machine of upstream processing, after they are put in place and the wires already in place of the sheet of wires from the machine downstream, the third crosses 8 simultaneously pinching said wires in pairs, during the cutting operations of their end and interlocking assembly, by merger or otherwise.
  • Such sleepers have notches insertion of the son each provided with a movable nipping element, all the movable pinching elements of a cross member being connected to an actuator, such as a cylinder.
  • the crossbar 6 is, moreover, advantageously provided with its part bottom of a transverse cutting means with a blade or a heating filament (not shown), for cutting wires from the downstream machine, after putting them in position.
  • the wire assembly device described above operates from the following way:
  • the wires threaded into the eyelet plate 11 and the movable counterplate 12 are pulled simultaneously through the eyelet plate 11 and brought vertically in the notches 3 'of the joining means 3 by entanglement, by fusion or other, and, in the lower extreme position of the movable counterplate 12, the part of the wires coming out of the notched notches 3 'of said assembly means 3 is simultaneously fed into the first cross member 6 forming one of the locking assembly in the position of the son and is tightened in this cross by pinch.
  • the second crossbar 7 blocking in position of the threads is affected by a backward motion relative to the plane passing through the front faces of the assembly means 3 and the first 6. After this nip, the end of the wires protruding to the part lower crossbar 6 is cut by means of the cutting device equipping the latter.
  • the movable counter plate 12 is then put back in its position starting point, in which it is held against the eyelet plate 11. Then, the detour and guide bar forming the device 5 is moved from its lower rest position, namely under the first and second sleepers 6 and 7 and under the assembly means 3, by guiding in the grooves 14 parallel side flanges 10, to a position intermediate, in which it is held in the notches and intermediate holding 14 'of said grooves 14.
  • each wire individually forming the means 4 for feeding and holding temporary individual son from the machine upstream, on which said threads have previously been threaded is then put in place, successively by passing over the guide bar and detour forming the device 5, so that each wire of all the wires brought simultaneously is guided in a circumferential groove of said bar, in front of the means 2 for individually guiding the wires coming from the machine downstream and in front of the assembly means 3, as well as in front of the second crossbar 7 blocking position of the son, then by mounting its ends in the corresponding housing of the support frame 1.
  • the device 5 moves simultaneously the wires, guided on the detour and guide bar the constituting, in a position such as to penetrate, on the one hand, in the insertion notches of the wires of the second crossbar 7 and, secondly, in the notches 3 'of the assembly means 3 (FIG. 5).
  • the tongs of the second crossbar 7 are then actuated at closing, so that the wires from the upstream processing machine, as well as the wires from of the downstream processing machine are pinched simultaneously in this 7. Indeed, because of the prior withdrawal of the first crosses 6 pinching the wires from the downstream processing machine, these wires have penetrated automatically into the corresponding notches of the second cross on arrival at the service position thereof, after the pinching of the son coming downstream by the first crossbar 6.
  • the closing bar of the assembly means 3 is also actuated in the direction of a pinching of the wires, as well as the third crossbar 8, so that the ends of the wires are entirely immobilized, particularly at the level of the longitudinal bar forming the means of assembly 3.
  • the cutting means 9 is then actuated and its blade cutting, mounted on a mobile cart, makes a quick move transversal in which all the threads are cut flush with the face lower part of the bar forming the connecting means.
  • heating devices equipping the notches 3 'of the latter are then supplied with air under pressure or electrically, so as to achieve a entanglement or welding of the fibers of the cut ends of each pair of wires housed in each notch 3 '.
  • the assembly means 3 may be affected by a slight downhill and uphill movement.
  • the invention it is possible to produce a device wire assembly between wire processing machines, such as machines for heat-setting and winding or winding or machines for steaming and winding or winding or between means of feeding a multitude of yarns and weaving machines or tufting, allowing to achieve very quickly and very accurately the preparatory work of positioning the wire ends of a pair of son to assemble between them.
