Abstract

In a continuous process, the thread components (A, B) are manufactured separately and then combined. The combined thread (C) is only then wound onto a reel (9) for further processing. The component (A) has an irreversible extension property, when heated appropriately. It is first stretched, and heated to shrink it. It is then combined with the other multifilament component (B) and bound. This is stretched before combination, in parallel with treatment of the extensible component (A). The extensible component (A) is heated to a shrinkage temperature (Ts). It is supplied in excess during heating, to induce the extension capability, whilst avoiding mechanical contact. The shrinkage component (B) and the extension component (A) undergo tensioning before stretching. The extension component (A) is first stretched, the extension ratio exceeding unity. It is then relaxed with an extension ratio less than unity, before undergoing heat treatment for shrinkage. The components are drawn from storage reels (1A, 1B) and differential stressing arising, is regulated before the stretching process. The threads (A, B) undergo heat treatment during stretching. The extension component (A) runs up the heater (7) with the force of gravity acting upon it, from below. Before the heat treatment for shrinkage, extension component (A) undergoes a heat treatment in which its filaments are preheated to just below the shrinkage temperature (Ts). They are held at this temperature, until the shrinkage heat treatment starts. Bonding of the threads to a combined thread (C) is effected by air-twisting, with at least 100 nodules per meter, depending on the thread strength. Bonding is effected by air-texturing. An Independent claim is included for corresponding manufacturing equipment.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Zwei- oder Mehrkomponenten-Multifilamentgarnes, dessen Komponenten unterschiedliches Schrumpfverhalten aufweisen, wobei mindestens eine Komponente durch Wärmeeinwirkung irreversibel selbst verlängerbar ist, und die Komponenten zu einem Kombinationsgarn verbunden werden, wobei das Längenänderungspotential der Komponenten nach der Verarbeitung zu einem textilen Flächengebilde durch eine Wärmebehandlung auslösbar ist.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a two- or multi-component multifilament yarn, the components of which have different shrinkage behavior, wherein at least one component is irreversibly self-renewable by heat, and the components are combined to form a combination yarn, wherein the length change potential of the components after the processing to a fabric by a heat treatment is triggered.

Derartige Garne sind beispielsweise durch die DE 39 15 945 bekannt. Danach bestehen diese zusammengesetzten Garne aus wenigstens zwei Komponenten, wobei die eine Komponente sich bei Wärmebehandlung nach der Verarbeitung zu einem textilen Flächengebilde ausdehnt und die andere Komponente bei dieser Wärmebehandlung schrumpft. Diese Garne werden deshalb auch als Differentiaischrumpfgarne bezeichnet. Vorzugsweise werden die beiden Komponenten durch Verwirbeln miteinander vereinigt.Such yarns are for example by the DE 39 15 945 known. Thereafter, these composite yarns consist of at least two components, wherein the one component expands to a textile fabric during heat treatment after processing and the other component shrinks in this heat treatment. These yarns are therefore also referred to as Differentiaischrumpfgarne. Preferably, the two components are joined together by swirling.

Die Herstellung dieses Kombinationsgarnes erfolgt in zwei separaten Schritten: Die Komponente A wird von einer Spule als nichtverstrecktes Garn abgezogen, in einem Streckfeld verstreckt, anschließend einer Wärmebehandlung durch ein kontaktloses Heizgerät in entspanntem Zustand ausgesetzt, wodurch diese Komponente A die Eigenschaft erhält, sich im verarbeiteten Zustand bei einer Wärmebehandlung in der Ausrüstung spontan zu verlängern. Die Komponente B wird in einem Streckverfahren verfestigt und stabilisiert und anschließend auf eine Spule aufgewunden. Diese Spule dient in einer 2. Stufe als Vorlage für die Herstellung des Kombinationsgarnes C, wobei die Komponente B von einer Spule als verstrecktes Garn abgezogen und mit der aus der Wärmebehandlung auslaufenden Komponente A vereinigt wird. Beide Komponenten A und B werden in einer Verwirbelungseinrichtung miteinander durch Verwirbeln verbunden.The preparation of this combination yarn is carried out in two separate steps: Component A is drawn from a spool as non-drawn yarn, drawn in a drafting field, then subjected to heat treatment by a non-contact heating device in a relaxed state, whereby this component A has the property of being processed Condition to spontaneously extend upon heat treatment in the equipment. The component B is solidified and stabilized in a stretching process and then wound on a coil. This coil is used in a second stage as a template for the production of the combination yarn C, wherein the component B is withdrawn from a coil as a drawn yarn and combined with the leaking from the heat treatment component A. Both components A and B are connected to each other in a turbulizer by swirling.

Bei diesem Herstellungsverfahren werden nur Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten von etwa 150 bis 300 Meter pro Minute erreicht, wenn eine brauchbare Längung der Komponente A erzeugt werden soll. Abgesehen von der Heizeinrichtung, die für höhere Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten nicht unerheblich verlängert werden muß, sind höhere Abzugsgeschwindigkeiten von der Spule, namentlich bei der Komponente B, nicht erreichbar, ohne daß sich beim Abzug von der Spule entstehende Spannungsschwankungen auf das sehr empfindliche Garn und den Verbindungsprozeß der Komponenten A und B auswirken. Es hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, daß mit diesem bekannten Verfahren insbesondere bei höheren Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten sich deshalb keine qualitativ befriedigenden Ergebnisse erreichen lassen. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, daß für ein störungsfreies Abziehen des Garns B von der Spule und zur Vermeidung von Filamentbrüchen es notwendig ist, eine Verwirbelung aufzubringen. Dieses bereits vorverwirbelte Garn läßt sich wesentlich schlechter mit der Komponente A verbinden, was im Kombinationsgarn zu unregelmäßigen Schlingen und Verarbeitungsschwierigkeiten führt und das Warenbild beeinträchtigt.In this manufacturing process, only production speeds of about 150 to 300 meters per minute are achieved if a useful elongation of component A is to be produced. Apart from the heater, which must be prolonged for higher production speeds not insignificant, higher take-off speeds of the coil, especially in the component B, can not be achieved without resulting in the withdrawal of the coil voltage fluctuations on the very delicate yarn and the bonding process of the Components A and B impact. It has been shown in practice that can therefore achieve no qualitatively satisfactory results with this known method, especially at higher production speeds. Another disadvantage is that it is necessary for a trouble-free stripping of the yarn B from the spool and to avoid filament breaks, to apply a turbulence. This already pre-twisted yarn can be significantly worse with the component A connect, resulting in combination yarn to irregular loops and processing difficulties and affects the appearance of goods.

Durch die JP-PS 09 25 00 36A ist es bekannt, ein Zweikomponenten-Multifilamentgarn herzustellen, wobei die beiden Komponenten parallel zueinander hergestellt und durch eine Verwirbelungseinrichtung vereinigt werden mit dem Ziel, durch eine Wärmebehandlung des verwebten Garnes den unterschiedlichen Schrumpf der Komponenten auszulösen und dadurch einen voluminösen, flauschigen Stoff zu erhalten. Die eine Komponente wird nach diesem bekannten Verfahren falschdralltexturiert. Dadurch werden die oben beschriebenen Spulenablaufschwierigkeiten vermieden. Der Stoff erhält elastische Eigenschaften und ist voluminös. Die andere Komponente verlängert sich durch die Wärmebehandlung im verarbeiteten Zustand. Durch dieses unterschiedliche Längenverhalten entstehen Schlingen, die dem Stoff voluminöse und filauschige Eigenschaften verleihen.By the JP-PS 09 25 00 36A It is known to produce a two-component multifilament yarn, wherein the two components are produced parallel to each other and combined by a swirling device with the aim to initiate the different shrinkage of the components by a heat treatment of the woven yarn and thereby obtain a voluminous, fluffy fabric. One component is false twist texturized by this known method. As a result, the above-described Spulenablaufschwierigkeiten be avoided. The fabric gets elastic properties and is voluminous. The other component is extended by the heat treatment in the processed state. This different length behavior creates loops that give the fabric voluminous and fluffy properties.

Nachteilig bei diesem bekannten Verfahren ist, daß durch die Erhitzung bei der Falschdralltexturierung dieser Komponente Schrumpfeigenschaften verloren gehen. Durch die Falschdralltexturierung werden die Filamente gekräuselt. Durch den Herstellprozeß der Verlängerungskomponente ist die Produktivität eingeschränkt, da zur Erreichung eines geeigneten Selbstverlängerungspotentials dieser Komponente (über 10% Selbstverlängerung) 400 m/min Liefergeschwindigkeit nicht überschritten werden dürfen:A disadvantage of this known method is that shrinkage properties are lost as a result of the heating during the false twist texturing of this component. False twist texturing ruffles the filaments. Due to the production process of the extension component, the productivity is limited, because to achieve a suitable self-extension potential of this component (over 10% self-extension) 400 m / min delivery speed must not be exceeded:

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung mit hoher Produktivität zu schaffen für die Herstellung derartiger Kombinationsgarne in verbesserter Qualität, mit hohem Schrumpfeffekt und verbesserter Verarbeitbarkeit, um weiche textile Flächengebilde mit großer Voluminösität zu erzeugen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a high productivity process and apparatus for producing such improved quality combination yarns with high shrinkage effect and improved processability to produce high bulkiness soft fabrics.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß den Merkmalen des Verfahrensanspruches 1 und des Vorrichtungsanspruches 13 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the features of the method claim 1 and the device claim 13.

Durch die Herstellung des Kombinationsgarnes in einem einzigen kontinuierlichen Prozeß wird das Aufspulen und Abziehen der Schrumpfkomponente und die damit verbundenen Fadenzugkraftschwankungen vermieden. Auch das für den Spulprozeß erforderliche Vorverwirbeln, das sich nachteilig auf die Verbindung der beiden Komponenten auswirkt, entfällt. Außerdem werden hohe Handlings- und Transportkosten sowie der Bedarf zusätzlicher teurer Spulhülsen eingespart. Die bei jeder Vorlage entstehenden Garnreste und deren Beseitigung auf den Vorlagespulen entfallen ebenfalls. Auch Eigenschaftsunregelmäßigkeiten des Schrumpfgarns B, die durch Zwischenlagerung der Spulen oder auch eine Falschdralltexturierung bedingt sind, werden vermieden.By producing the combination yarn in a single continuous process, the winding and stripping of the shrink component and the associated yarn tension fluctuations are avoided. Also, the Vorverwirbeln required for the winding process, which adversely affects the connection of the two components, is eliminated. In addition, high handling and transport costs and the need for additional expensive winding tubes are saved. The yarn remnants resulting from each template and their removal on the supply bobbins are also eliminated. Property irregularities of the shrink yarn B, which are caused by intermediate storage of the coils or a false twist texturing, are avoided.

Das Verstrecken der Schrumpfkomponente erfolgt parallel zur Behandlung der Verlängerungskomponente ohne jede Texturierung, so daß das Kombinationsgarn einschließlich seiner Komponenten in einem einzigen kontinuierlichen Prozeß als glattes, nahezu schlingenfreies Garn erzeugt wird. Beide Komponenten können dadurch unter gleichen Fadenspannungsbedingungen eingestellt und miteinander verbunden werden, was zu einer hohen Qualität und Gleichmäßigkeit des Kombinationsgarnes führt. Eine Anspannung vor dem Verstrecken der Komponenten hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, um Spannungsschwankungen auszugleichen und gleichmäßige Bedingungen in der Streckzone zu erreichen. Hierfür ist zweckmäßigerweise ein Rückhalteelement vorgesehen, welches die gewünschte Fadenspannung erzeugt und reguliert. Ferner hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Verlängerungskomponente das Heizgerät vertikal entgegen der Schwerkraft von unten nach oben durchläuft, weil dadurch am besten eine Wandberührung vermieden wird und auch eine bessere und gleichmäßigere Erwärmung der einzelnen Filamente der Komponente im Heizer erfolgt.The stretching of the shrinkage component is carried out in parallel with the treatment of the extension component without any texturing, so that the combination yarn including its components in a single continuous Process is produced as a smooth, almost loop-free yarn. Both components can thereby be adjusted and bonded under equal yarn tension conditions, resulting in high quality and uniformity of the combination yarn. Tension prior to stretching of the components has been found to be useful to balance stress variations and to achieve uniform conditions in the draw zone. For this purpose, a retaining element is expediently provided which generates and regulates the desired thread tension. Furthermore, it has proven to be advantageous if the extension component passes vertically through the heater against gravity from bottom to top, because it is best a wall contact is avoided and also better and more uniform heating of the individual filaments of the component takes place in the heater.

Eine Wärmevorbehandlung vor der eigentlichen Wärmebehandlung für die Schrumpfung hat sich überraschenderweise als äußerst wirksam für eine gute Qualität und für die Erzielung hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten erwiesen. Die verstreckten Filamente sind beim Einlauf in den Heizer bereits auf eine Temperatur dicht unterhalb der Schrumpftemperatur vorgewärmt, so daß die Filamente mit einer wesentlich kürzeren Heizstrecke auf die erforderliche Temperatur oberhalb der Schrumpftemperatur TS aufgeheizt werden. Dabei ist auch der Temperaturgradient zwischen Heizer und Garn kleiner als beim bisherigen Heizsystem. Das stufenweise, allmähliche Aufheizen bewirkt, daß alle Filamente zur gleichen Zeit die gleiche Temperatur erreichen und Schlingenbildung beispielsweise durch vorzeitig im Heizer ausgelösten Schrumpf vermieden werden. Insbesondere bei gröberen Garnkomponenten erfolgt eine bessere und gleichmäßigere Aufheizung aller Filamente, was außerdem für die Qualität der Schlingenbildung im textilen Flächengebilde von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist. Bei der Weiterverarbeitung des Kombinationsgarns in Weberei und Strickerei störende Filamentschlingen, die bei den bisherigen Heizsystemen durch Schrumpfungsunterschiede entstehen, werden erheblich reduziert, das Kombinationsgarn ist praktisch schlingenfrei. Mit der Vorheizung kann der eigentliche Heizkörper verkürzt werden, wodurch der Prozeß stabilisiert und die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit erhöht werden kann. Um eine Abkühlung des Garns zwischen Wärmevorbehandlung und der Wärmebehandlung für die Schrumpfung zu vermeiden, ist die Vorheizeinrichtung unmittelbar vor der Heizeinrichtung für die Schrumpfung angeordnet, durch ein Gehäuse gekapselt oder auch in die Heizeinrichtung integriert.Heat pretreatment prior to the actual heat treatment for shrinkage has surprisingly been found to be extremely effective for good quality and for achieving high production rates. The stretched filaments are already preheated to a temperature close to the shrinkage temperature at the inlet to the heater, so that the filaments are heated with a much shorter heating distance to the required temperature above the shrinkage temperature T S. The temperature gradient between heater and yarn is smaller than in the previous heating system. The gradual, gradual heating causes all filaments to reach the same temperature at the same time and avoid looping, for example, by premature heater-induced shrinkage. Especially with coarser yarn components, a better and more uniform heating of all filaments takes place, which is also of great importance for the quality of the loop formation in the textile fabric. In the further processing of the combination yarn in weaving and knitting disturbing filament loops, which arise in the previous heating systems by shrinkage differences are significantly reduced, the combination yarn is virtually loop-free. With Preheating the actual radiator can be shortened, whereby the process stabilized and the production speed can be increased. In order to avoid a cooling of the yarn between heat pretreatment and the heat treatment for the shrinkage, the preheating is arranged immediately in front of the heater for the shrinkage, encapsulated by a housing or integrated into the heater.

Figur 1 zeigt schematisch den Aufbau des Differentialschrumpfgarnes C nach Auslösung des Differentialschrumpfeffektes, das durch die Verbindung der Komponenten A und B entstanden ist. Das Kombinationsgarn C wird im fertigen Gewebe einer Wärmebehandlung unterworfen, bei welcher der Differentialschrumpf ausgelöst wird, das heißt die Komponente A verlängert sich, während die Komponente B schrumpft und deshalb gestreckt im Differentialschrumpfgarn C liegt. Die beiden Komponenten A und B sind durch die Verwirbelungsknoten K miteinander verbunden. Die Anzahl der Knoten, mit denen die beiden Komponenten A und B miteinander verbunden sind, hat wesentlichen Einfluß auf die Qualität des Kombinationsgarnes C. Es wurde gefunden, daß die für ein Qualitätskombinationsgarn notwendige Anzahl Knoten nicht pauschal bestimmt werden kann, sondern von der Gamfeinheit des Kombinationsgarnes C abhängig ist. In Figur 6 ist diese Abhängigkeit grafisch dargestellt, die aufgrund einer Vielzahl von Versuchen ermittelt wurde. Unterhalb dieser Kurve liegen die Werte der Kombinationsgarne C, die als nicht ausreichend und mangelhaft eingestuft wurden. Oberhalb der Kurve liegen die Werte der als qualitativ einwandfrei eingestuften Kombinationsgarne C. Am besten wird diese grafische Darstellung durch die Beziehung Anzahl Verwirbelungsknoten / m 300 Feinheit dtex + 88

Figure imgb0001

zum Ausdruck gebracht. Dabei wird die Anzahl der Verwirbelungsknoten am Kombinationsgarn C am ausgerüsteten Gewebe oder Gestrick gezählt. Liegt die Anzahl der Verwirbelungsknoten in Abhängigkeit der Garnstärke (Formel) und bezogen auf das Garn im ausgerüsteten Gewebe bei mindestens hundert Knoten pro Meter oder darüber, so ergeben sich gut eingebundene Schlingen mit großem Stehvermögen und Gleichmäßigkeit. Die Filamente der Garnkomponente A bilden beim Auslösen der Längenänderung während der Wärmebehandlung des Gewebes in der Ausrüstung Mikroschlingen, die eine Textur im Gewebe erzeugen und so den Griff und die funktionellen Eigenschaften wesentlich verbessern. Die Oberflächenstruktur ist voluminös, die Ware hat einen trockenen, weichen und zarten Griff. Je nach Filament- und Gamfeinheit stellt sich ein Pfirsichhauteffekt "peach skin", Samtcharakter, Seidencharakter, Leinen, Woll- oder Baumwollcharakter ein. FIG. 1 shows schematically the structure of the differential shrinkage yarn C after triggering the differential shrinkage effect, which is caused by the connection of the components A and B. The combination yarn C is subjected to a heat treatment in the finished fabric, in which the differential shrinkage is triggered, that is, the component A is elongated, while the component B shrinks and therefore is stretched in the differential shrinkage yarn C. The two components A and B are interconnected by the Verwirbelungsknoten K. The number of nodes with which the two components A and B are connected to each other has a significant influence on the quality of the combination yarn C. It has been found that the number of knots necessary for a quality combination yarn can not be determined as a whole, but from the gamf unit of the Combination yarn C is dependent. In FIG. 6 this dependency is shown graphically, which was determined on the basis of a large number of experiments. Below this curve are the values of the combination yarns C, which were classified as insufficient and deficient. Above the curve are the values of the combination yarns C classified as qualitatively perfect. This graph is best described by the relationship Number of swirl nodes / m 300 fineness dtex + 88
Figure imgb0001

expressed. In this case, the number of Verwirbelungsknoten is counted on the combination yarn C on the equipped fabric or knit. If the number of entangling knots, depending on the yarn size (formula) and based on the yarn in the finished fabric at least a hundred knots per meter or more, well-bound loops with great staying power and uniformity result. The filaments of Yarn Component A, upon initiation of the change in length during the heat treatment of the fabric in the equipment, form micro-loops which create a texture in the fabric and thus the hand and functional properties improve significantly. The surface texture is voluminous, the fabric has a dry, soft and delicate feel. Depending on the filament and yarn unit, a peach skin effect "peach skin", velvet character, silk character, linen, wool or cotton character sets in.

Die Ausgangsmaterialien sind für beide Komponenten im wesentlichen die gleichen, es werden bevorzugt Polyesterfilamente eingesetzt. Die Eigenschaften für diesen unterschiedlichen Schrumpf bzw. Verlängerung erhalten die Filamente durch unterschiedliche Behandlung, bevor die beiden Komponenten zusammengeführt und miteinander verbunden werden. In Figur 2 ist schematisch der Behandlungsprozeß für die Komponente A (Verlängerungskomponente) und die Komponente B (Schrumpfkomponente) dargestellt. Beide Komponenten werden in Form von vororientiertem Filamentgarn (POY) auf übliche Spulengatter aufgesteckt und über Kopf abgezogen.The starting materials are substantially the same for both components, polyester filaments are preferably used. The properties for this different shrinkage or elongation receive the filaments by different treatment before the two components are brought together and joined together. In FIG. 2 schematically the treatment process for the component A (extension component) and component B (shrink component) is shown. Both components are placed in the form of pre-oriented filament yarn (POY) on conventional creels and removed overhead.

Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt wird das Multifilamentgarn zur Herstellung der Komponente A von einer Spule 1A durch eine Öse 15 abgezogen und einer Streckrolle 2 zugeführt, die mit der nachfolgenden Streckrolle 3 ein Streckfeld bildet. Bei dem Verstrecken des Vorlagematerials 1A zwischen den Streckrollen 2 und 3 ist die Streckrolle 2 beheizt mit einer Oberflächentemperatur, die so gewählt wird, daß die darüber laufenden Filamente eine Erwärmung erfahren auf eine Temperatur im Bereich der sog. Glasübergangstemperatur TG, so daß nach dem Verstrecken eine Höchstzugkraftdehnung nach ISO 2062 des Garnes von 25% bis 40% erreicht wird. Die Temperatur der beheizten Streckrolle 2 wird so gewählt, daß das verstreckte Garn A das für den Folgeprozess erforderliche Schrumpfungsvermögen besitzt. Der Kristallisationsgrad der verstreckten Filamente liegt damit über dem des Vorlagematerials.As in FIG. 2 the multifilament yarn is drawn for producing the component A from a coil 1A through an eyelet 15 and fed to a draw roller 2, which forms a drafting field with the following draw roller 3. In the stretching of the master material 1A between the stretch rollers 2 and 3, the stretch roller 2 is heated with a surface temperature which is chosen so that the filaments above it undergo heating to a temperature in the range of the so-called. Glass transition temperature T G , so that after the Stretching a maximum tensile strength according to ISO 2062 of the yarn of 25% to 40% is achieved. The temperature of the heated draw roll 2 is chosen so that the drawn yarn A has the shrinkage capacity required for the subsequent process. The degree of crystallization of the drawn filaments is thus higher than that of the master material.

Zur Erzielung der spontanen Wärmeausdehnung nach der Verarbeitung, beispielsweise in einem Gewebe, ist es erforderlich, die verstreckten Filamente im entspannten Zustand aufzuheizen auf eine Temperatur TL, die über der Schrumpftemperatur TS liegt (Fig.8). Dies erfolgt zwischen den Rollen 3 und 4, wobei die Rolle 3 die Filamente mit einer Überlieferung zuführt (Verstrekkungsgrad < 1), die nahezu dem Schrumpfvermögen der Filamente der Verlängerungskomponente A entspricht. Von der Rolle 3 wird das Garn A also in den Heizer 7 wesentlich schneller zugeliefert, als es durch die Rolle 4 abgezogen wird, so daß die Filamente unter der Heizwirkung des Heizers 7 um etwa 30% bis 55% schrumpfen können. Durch diese Schrumpfbehandlung erhält die Komponente A die Eigenschaft, sich später bei einer Wärmebehandlung im verarbeiteten Zustand spontan und irreversibel zu verlängern. Während dieses Schrumpfprozesses müssen sich die Filamente frei bewegen können, um ungehindert zu schrumpfen. Es wird deshalb ein Heizer 7 verwendet, bei dem die Fäden während ihres Durchlaufes keinerlei mechanische Berührung haben. Vorzugsweise werden hier Konvektionsheizer verwendet, bei denen durch Luft oder Dampf oder dergleichen das Aufheizen der Filamente erfolgt.To achieve the spontaneous thermal expansion after processing, for example in a fabric, it is necessary to heat the stretched filaments in the relaxed state to a temperature T L , the above Shrinkage temperature T S is ( Figure 8 ). This takes place between the rolls 3 and 4, the roll 3 supplying the filaments with a lore (degree of diffusion <1), which corresponds almost to the shrinkage capacity of the filaments of the extension component A. From the roll 3, the yarn A is thus supplied to the heater 7 much faster than it is withdrawn by the roller 4, so that the filaments under the heating effect of the heater 7 can shrink by about 30% to 55%. As a result of this shrinkage treatment, component A acquires the property of spontaneously and irreversibly extending later in a heat treatment in the processed state. During this shrinking process, the filaments must be able to move freely to shrink unhindered. It is therefore a heater 7 is used in which the threads have no mechanical contact during their passage. Convection heaters are preferably used here, in which the filaments are heated by air or steam or the like.

Zweckmäßig ist dieser Heizer 7 vertikal angeordnet, um ein Durchhängen der entspannten Filamente zu vermeiden. Ferner hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Komponente A von unten nach oben entgegen der Schwerkraft durch den Heizer 7 zu führen, so daß das Eigengewicht des Fadens die beim Schrumpfen erforderliche Verringerung der Fadengeschwindigkeit unterstützt. Zum anderen wirkt sich bei dieser Durchgangsrichtung die Kaminwirkung günstig aus, da nicht die heißeste Temperatur sofort auf den Faden einwirkt. Durch die zuströmende Luft kommt die Heizleistung allmählich zur Wirkung. Die Filamente werden gleichmäßiger erwärmt. Es hat sich überraschender Weise gezeigt, daß die Aufheizung der Filamente nicht schockartig, sondern allmählich erfolgen muß, um ein schlingenfreies, glattes Garn zu erhalten, das sich auch bei hohen Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten störungsfrei weiterverarbeiten läßt.Suitably, this heater 7 is arranged vertically to prevent sagging of the relaxed filaments. Furthermore, it has proved to be advantageous to guide the component A from the bottom up against gravity by the heater 7, so that the weight of the thread supports the required shrinkage during the reduction of the thread speed. On the other hand, the chimney effect has a favorable effect in this direction of passage, since not the hottest temperature acts immediately on the thread. By the incoming air, the heating power comes gradually to effect. The filaments are heated more evenly. It has surprisingly been found that the heating of the filaments is not shock-like, but must be gradual, to obtain a loop-free, smooth yarn that can be further processed trouble-free even at high production speeds.

Nach dem Verlassen des Heizers 7 über die Rolle 4 wird die Verlängerungskomponente A mit der Schrumpfkomponente B vereinigt. Die Schrumpfkomponente B hat inzwischen auch ihre Behandlung erfahren, die notwendig ist, um im verarbeiteten Zustand bei Wärmebehandlung zu schrumpfen. Das Vorlagematerial 1B wird über Kopf durch eine Fadenöse 16 hindurch abgezogen und der Streckrolle 5 zugeführt, die mit der nachfolgenden Streckrolle 6 ein Streckfeld bildet, in welchem die Filamente einer Streckung unterworfen werden, so daß sie nach dem Verstrecken eine Höchstzugkraftdehnung von 25% bis 40% und eine Naßschrumpfung von 1% bis 70% erreichen. Die Streckrolle 5 ist beheizt, um die Filamente für den Streckvorgang aufzuheizen. Im Anschluß an diese Verstreckung erfolgt dann die Zusammenführung mit der Komponente A. Zwischen der Rolle 6 und der Rolle 4 wird die durch den Streckprozeß entstandene Fadenspannung in der Komponente B der Fadenspannung der Komponente A angepaßt, damit eine gleichmäßige Verwirbelung der beiden Komponenten in der Verwirbelungseinrichtung 8 gewährleistet ist. Die Verwirbelungseinrichtung 8 verlassen die nunmehr durch das Verwirbeln verbundenen Komponenten A und B als Kombinationsgarn C, das durch eine vor dem Wickler 9 angeordnete Fadenzuführöse 91 geführt und zu einer Spule aufgewunden wird.After leaving the heater 7 via the roller 4, the extension component A is combined with the shrink component B. The shrink component B has now also undergone its treatment, which is necessary to shrink in the processed state during heat treatment. The master material 1B is withdrawn overhead through a suture loop 16 and fed to the draw roll 5, which forms a drafting field with the subsequent draw roll 6, in which the filaments are subjected to stretching so that they have a maximum tensile elongation of 25% to 40% after drawing % and a wet shrinkage of 1% to 70%. The draw roller 5 is heated to heat the filaments for the drawing operation. Following this stretching then the merge with the component A. Between the roller 6 and the roller 4, the thread tension formed by the stretching process in the component B of the thread tension of the component A is adjusted so that a uniform turbulence of the two components in the turbulator 8 is guaranteed. The turbulizer 8 leave the now connected by the swirling components A and B as a combination yarn C, which is guided by a arranged in front of the winder 9 Fadenzuführöse 91 and wound up into a coil.

Das durch diesen Einstufenprozeß erzeugte Kombinationsgarn C zeichnet sich durch hohe Qualität und Gleichmäßigkeit aus. Durch die Parallelführung der Behandlungsprozesse für die Verlängerungskomponente A und für die Schrumpfkomponente B können am Ende beide Komponenten A und B unter völlig gleichen Bedingungen zusammengeführt werden, was für die anschließende Verbindung in der Verwirbelungseinrichtung von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist. Beide Komponenten sind glatt. Durch die allmähliche Aufwärmung der Komponente A im Heizer 7 wird trotz der hohen Überlieferung für den Schrumpfvorgang eine Schlingenbildung vermieden, die bei der üblichen Schockaufheizung eintritt. Es werden weder ein zusätzlicher Spulvorgang mit dafür erforderlichen Spulhülsen, noch eine entsprechende Logistik und Transport benötigt, um die beiden Komponenten zusammenzuführen. Die Beanspruchung der Filamente und das Risiko von Filamentbrüchen werden vermieden, ohne daß zusätzliche Maßnahmen, wie eine sogenannte Vorverwirbelung für das Aufspulen der Komponente B erforderlich wären. Diese Vorverwirbelung, die notwendig ist, um Störungen beim Auf- und Abwinden der Filamente auf eine Spule zu vermeiden, verhindert eine gleichmäßige und gute Verbindung der Komponenten A und B und führt auch zur Schlingenbildung.The combination yarn C produced by this one-step process is characterized by high quality and uniformity. By the parallel guidance of the treatment processes for the extension component A and for the shrinkage component B, both components A and B can be brought together under completely identical conditions at the end, which is essential for the subsequent connection in the turbulizer. Both components are smooth. Due to the gradual warming of the component A in the heater 7, despite the high lore for the shrinking loop formation is avoided, which occurs in the usual shock heating. Neither an additional winding process with required winding tubes, nor a corresponding logistics and transport is required to bring the two components together. The stress on the filaments and the risk of filament breaks are avoided without additional measures, such as a so-called Vorverwirbelung would be required for the winding of the component B. This Vorverwirbelung, which is necessary to avoid disturbances when winding up and down the filaments on a coil, prevents a uniform and good connection of the components A and B and also leads to looping.

In Figur 3 ist eine andere Ausführung des Einstufenprozesses gezeigt. Hier ist durch einige Zusatzeinrichtungen der Prozeß optimiert worden, so daß noch höhere Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten unter Beibehaltung und sogar Steigerung der Qualität erreicht werden können. Wie in Figur 2 sind auch hier als Vorlagematerial jeweils Vorlagespulen 1A und 1B mit vororientierten Polyestermultifilamentgarnen (PET-POY) vorgesehen, die über Kopf durch Fadenösen 15 bzw. 16 abgezogen werden. Vor der Streckrolle 2 ist hier noch ein Lieferwerk 10 angeordnet, das eine gewisse Rückhaltefunktion ausübt, damit eine Anspannung der Filamente zur Vergleichmäßigung der beim Abzug von der Spule schwankenden Spannung des in das Streckfeld zwischen den Rollen 2 und 3 einlaufenden Fadens erfolgt. In einfachster Ausführung kann als Rückhalteelement auch eine Fadenbremse eingesetzt werden. Auf diese Weise werden die beim Abzug von der Vorlage 1A entstehenden differierenden Fadenspannungen vor dem Streckprozeß auf einen gewünschten Wert reguliert. Zusätzlich ist noch ein Kontaktheizgerät 14 im Streckfeld vorgesehen für die Aufheizung der Filamente während des Verstreckens, um die gewünschten Höchstzugkraftdehnungs- und Schrumpfwerte zu erhalten. Von der Streckrolle 3 läuft nun das Filamentgarn nicht direkt in den Heizer 7, sondern erst noch über eine Rolle 71, die hier als Vorheizer dient und unmittelbar vor dem Heizer 7 angeordnet ist, um eine zwischenzeitliche Abkühlung des Garns weitgehend zu vermeiden. Zwischen der Streckrolle 3 und dem als Rolle ausgebildeten Vorheizer 71 werden die Filamente nach dem Verstrecken entspannt, bevor sie die Wärmevorbehandlung erfahren. Durch diese Entspannung, die durch eine geringfügige Überlieferung erfolgen kann, wird der Schrumpfungsprozess verbessert, und das Schrumpfpotential des verstreckten Garns A kann besser ausgenützt werden.In FIG. 3 another embodiment of the single stage process is shown. Here, the process has been optimized by some additional equipment, so that even higher production speeds can be achieved while maintaining and even increasing the quality. As in FIG. 2 Here, too, supply rolls 1A and 1B with preoriented polyester multifilament yarns (PET-POY), which are pulled off at the top by thread eyelets 15 and 16, respectively, are provided as the original material. Before the draw roller 2 here is a delivery mechanism 10 is arranged, which exerts a certain retention function, so that a tension of the filaments to equalize the fluctuating in the withdrawal of the coil voltage of the drawing in the draw field between the rollers 2 and 3 thread. In the simplest version can be used as a retaining element and a thread brake. In this way, the differing thread tensions resulting from printing from the original 1A are adjusted to a desired value prior to the stretching process. In addition, a contact heater 14 is also provided in the drafting field for heating the filaments during drawing to obtain the desired maximum tensile strength and shrinkage values. From the draw roller 3, the filament yarn now does not run directly into the heater 7, but only through a roller 71, which serves as a preheater and is located immediately in front of the heater 7, to avoid an intermediate cooling of the yarn largely. Between the draw roll 3 and the roller preheater 71, the filaments are relaxed after stretching before undergoing the heat pretreatment. By this relaxation, which can be done by a slight lore, the shrinkage process is improved, and the shrinkage potential of the drawn yarn A can be better utilized.

Diese Wärmevorbehandlung hat sich als äußerst wichtig und zweckmäßig erwiesen insbesondere, wenn die Komponente A gröber ist. Es entsteht nämlich dabei das Problem, im Heizer 7 alle Filamente gleichmäßig aufzuheizen. Erhalten die Filamente nicht mit Sicherheit zur gleichen Zeit jeweils dieselbe Temperatur über der Schrumpftemperatur TS, schrumpfen sie unterschiedlich, und es bilden sich unerwünschte Schlingen, die sich bei der Verarbeitung der Kombinationsgarne C nachteilig auswirken. Für ein gutes Verarbeitungsverhalten müßten die Garne C sonst z. B. für die Weberei zusätzlich geschlichtet oder auch mit Drehung versehen werden. Die Produktionskosten für das Garn würden sich durch eine solche Zusatzmaßnahme annähernd verdoppeln.This heat pretreatment has proved to be extremely important and expedient, especially when component A is coarser. Namely, there arises the problem of uniformly heating all filaments in the heater 7. When the filaments are not sure to be at the same temperature above the shrinkage temperature T S at the same time, they will shrink differently and undesirable loops will form, which will be detrimental to the processing of the combination yarns C. For a good processing behavior, the yarns C otherwise z. B. for the weaving additionally finished or provided with rotation. The production cost of the yarn would almost double by such an additional measure.

In dem Vorheizer 71, der als Kontaktheizer, zweckmäßig als beheizte Rolle ausgebildet ist, werden die Filamente auf eine Temperatur dicht unterhalb der Schrumpftemperatur TS aufgewärmt, so daß im Heizer 7 für den Schrumpfprozesses nur noch eine kleine Temperaturdifferenz aufgeheizt werden muß, nämlich von dicht unterhalb der Schrumpftemperatur TS bis über die Schrumpftemperatur TS auf die für die Längungseigenschaften erforderlichen Temperatur TL (Fig.8). Der Heizer 7 kann damit nicht nur erheblich kürzer werden, sondern es können mit einer solchen zweistufigen Aufheizung auch wesentlich höhere Geschwindigkeiten gefahren werden.In the preheater 71, which is designed as a contact heater, expediently as a heated roller, the filaments are heated to a temperature just below the shrinkage temperature T S , so that only a small temperature difference must be heated in the heater 7 for the shrinking process, namely from dense below the shrinkage temperature T S to above the shrinkage temperature T S to the temperature required for the elongation properties T L ( Figure 8 ). The heater 7 can thus not only be considerably shorter, but it can be driven with such a two-stage heating and much higher speeds.

Um eine zwischenzeitliche Abkühlung des Garns weitgehend zu vermeiden, wird dieser Vorheizer 71 möglichst in geringem Abstand vor dem Heizer 7 angeordnet, gegebenenfalls auch in diesen integriert mittels einer Abschirmhaube 72, oder beide Heizer 7 und 71 werden zu einem Zwei- oder Mehrstufenheizer zusammengefaßt. Für den Vorheizer 71 wird ein vorzugsweise als beheizte Rolle ausgebildeter Kontaktheizer eingesetzt, dessen Wärmeübertragung wesentlich effizienter als bei einem Konvektionsheizer ist.In order to largely avoid an intermediate cooling of the yarn, this preheater 71 is arranged as close as possible in front of the heater 7, optionally also integrated into this by means of a screening hood 72, or both heaters 7 and 71 are combined to form a two- or multi-stage heater. For the preheater 71, a preferably designed as a heated roller contact heater is used, the heat transfer is much more efficient than a convection heater.

Nach Verlassen des Heizers 7 wird die Verlängerungskomponente A durch das Rollenpaar 4 abgezogen und dabei mit der Schrumpfkomponente B zusammengeführt.After leaving the heater 7, the extension component A is withdrawn through the pair of rollers 4 and thereby merged with the shrink component B.

Der Heizer 7 kann ein- oder mehrstufig ausgeführt sein, um ein gleichmäßiges Aufheizen aller Filamente zur gewährleisten. In Fig. 7 ist eine solche Stufenheizung im Detail gezeigt, in welche auch der Vorheizer 71 einbezogen ist. Sie beginnt mit dem Vorheizer 71, der den Filamenten eine Temperatur dicht unter der Schrumpftemperatur TS erteilt, bei der diese relativ unempfindlich sind. Mit dieser Temperatur laufen die Filamente in den Heizer 7 ein. Durch das Gehäuse 72 wird ein Abkühlen beim Übergang in den Heizer 7 verhindert. Der Heizer 7 ist in drei Heizzonen unterteilt, die von den Filamenten der Komponente A durchlaufen werden. In der ersten Heizzone ist ein Heizelement H1 installiert, das mit einer Temperatur TH1 auf die Filamente einwirkt (Fig. 9). Die Temperatur der Filamente steigt langsam an, so daß alle Filamente diesem Temperaturanstieg trotz hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeit folgen können. In der zweiten Zone wirkt ein Heizelement H2 mit der Temperatur TH2 ein, und es erfolgt eine weitere Aufheizung der Filamente. Erst am Ende der dritten Zone mit der Temperatur TH3 erreichen die Filamente die für die gewünschten Längungseigenschaften erforderliche Temperatur TL, mit welcher die Komponente A den Heizer verläßt.The heater 7 may be carried out in one or more stages to ensure uniform heating of all filaments. In Fig. 7 Such a stage heater is shown in detail, in which also the preheater 71 is included. It begins with the preheater 71, which gives the filaments a temperature just below the shrinkage temperature T S , where they are relatively insensitive. At this temperature, the filaments enter the heater 7. By the housing 72 cooling on transition into the heater 7 is prevented. The heater 7 is divided into three heating zones, which are traversed by the filaments of component A. In the first heating zone, a heating element H1 is installed, which acts on the filaments at a temperature T H1 ( Fig. 9 ). The temperature of the filaments rises slowly, so that all filaments can follow this increase in temperature despite high production speed. In the second zone, a heating element H2 with the temperature T H2 acts, and there is a further heating of the filaments. Only at the end of the third zone with the temperature T H3 the filaments reach the temperature required for the desired elongation properties T L , with which the component A leaves the heater.

Fig. 8 zeigt schematisch das Temperaturprofil der Filamente während ihrer Aufheizung im Heizer 7. Dabei zeigt die gestrichelte Linie schematisch den Temperaturanstieg in den Filamenten bei Einsatz eines einzigen, über die Länge des Heizers 7 gleichmäßig mit der Temperatur TH einwirkenden Heizelementes. Wie ersichtlich, kann auch hier ein allmähliches Aufheizen erzielt werden, wenn die Filamente von unten nach oben den Heizer 7 durchlaufen. Durch die entstehende Luftströmung (Kaminwirkung) ist die im Heizer 7 befindliche Luft oben wärmer als unten. Bei Einsatz und entsprechender Abstimmung von gestuften Heizelementen H1, H2, H3 kann die Zeit verringert werden, bei der die Filamente eine Temperatur über der Schrumpftemperatur TS aufweisen. Sofort nach Verlassen des Heizers 7 wird die Temperatur der Filamente wieder auf eine Temperatur niedriger als TS gebracht. Fig. 8 schematically shows the temperature profile of the filaments during their heating in the heater 7. Here, the dashed line shows schematically the temperature increase in the filaments when using a single, over the length of the heater 7 evenly with the temperature T H acting heating element. As can be seen, a gradual heating can be achieved here as well, if the filaments go through the heater 7 from bottom to top. Due to the resulting air flow (chimney effect), the air in the heater 7 is warmer at the top than below. When using and corresponding tuning of stepped heating elements H1, H2, H3, the time can be reduced at which the filaments reach a temperature above the shrinking temperature T S have. Immediately after leaving the heater 7, the temperature of the filaments is brought back to a temperature lower than T S.

Die Schrumpfkomponente B ist inzwischen parallel behandelt worden, um die gewünschten Schrumpfeigenschaften zu erhalten. Von einer Vorlagespule 1 B wird das Multifilamentgarn durch eine Fadenöse 16 über Kopf abgezogen. Auch hier ist ein Lieferwerk 12 vor der Streckrolle 5 angeordnet, um eine Anspannung der Filamente vor Einlaufen in das Streckfeld zwischen den Streckrollen 5 und 6 zu erreichen. Statt eines Lieferwerkes 12 kann hier auch eine Fadenbremse 111 oder eine andere Rückhalteeinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Wesentlich ist nur, daß eine gewisse Vorspannung des Multifilamentgarnes erzeugt werden kann.The shrinkage component B has since been treated in parallel to obtain the desired shrinkage properties. From a feed bobbin 1 B, the multifilament yarn is withdrawn through a thread eyelet 16 overhead. Again, a delivery mechanism 12 is arranged in front of the draw roller 5 in order to achieve a tension of the filaments before entering the draw frame between the draw rollers 5 and 6. Instead of a delivery mechanism 12, a yarn brake 111 or another retaining device can also be provided here. It is only important that a certain bias of the multifilament yarn can be generated.

Zusätzlich ist im Streckfeld zwischen den Streckrollen 5 und 6 noch ein Kontaktheizer 13 angeordnet, um die Filamente auf die für das Verstrecken notwendige Temperatur aufzuheizen. Anschließend erfolgt wieder ein Spannungsausgleich zwischen der Streckrolle 6 und dem Lieferwerk 4, damit die Komponente B unter gleichen Spannungsbedingungen mit der Verlängerungskomponente A zusammengeführt und in der Verbindungseinrichtung 8 verbunden wird. Über ein Abzugswalzenpaar 11 wird die Fadenspannung in der Verbindungseinrichtung 8 reguliert. Diese Maßnahme hat sich als äußerst vorteilhaft für die Gleichmäßigkeit der Verwirbelung und damit die Qualität des Kombinationsgarnes C erwiesen. Anstelle der Abzugsvorrichtung 11 kann zur Regulierung der Fadenspannung in der Verbindungseinrichtung 8 auch eine Fadenbremse 111, wie in Figur 5 gezeigt, vorgesehen werden. Über die Fadenzuführöse 91 läuft dann das fertige Kombinationsgarn C in den Wickler 9 zur Aufspulung ein.In addition, in the drafting field between the draw rollers 5 and 6, a contact heater 13 is arranged to heat the filaments to the temperature necessary for stretching. Subsequently, a voltage equalization between the draw roller 6 and the delivery mechanism 4, so that the component B is brought together under the same stress conditions with the extension component A and connected in the connecting device 8. Via a take-off roller pair 11, the thread tension in the connecting device 8 is regulated. This measure has proven to be extremely advantageous for the uniformity of the turbulence and thus the quality of the combination yarn C. Instead of the take-off device 11, it is also possible to use a yarn brake 111 to regulate the yarn tension in the connecting device 8, as in FIG FIG. 5 be shown provided. The finished combination yarn C then runs into the winder 9 via the thread feed eye 91 for winding.
