Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a service carriage control system that operates in response to a request for a service made by one of a plurality of processing units, to cause a service carriage to run to the unit to provide the unit with the service.
  • the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai-Hei) 11-107078 discloses a spinning machine having a large number of spinning units installed in a line, and the spinning units are an example of (yarn) processing units. While the spinning machine is in operation, when a spun yarn is broken in any of the spinning units or is forcibly cut owing to a detected yarn defect such as slab, a yarn splicing carriage is run and then stopped in front of that unit. Then, a knotter, a splicer, or the like splices a lower yarn drawn from a winding package to an upper yarn of a draft device side.
  • the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai-Hei) 11-107078 also refers to the case in which two such yarn splicing carriages are provided.
  • the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai-Hei) 6-108331 discloses a configuration in which a yarn splicing carriage and a roving yarn splicing carriage run on the same running rail.
  • the yarn splicing carriage and the roving yarn splicing carriage are each provided with an obstacle sensor and controlled so that priority is always given to the roving yarn splicing carriage over the yarn splicing carriage in running.
  • the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai-Hei) 11-107078 discloses the configuration in which the two yarn splicing carriages are provided. However, it does not refer to how the two yarn splicing carriages share processing if any spinning unit makes a yarn splicing request. On the other hand, the spinning units do not make yarn splicing requests in a specified order. The frequency at which yarn breakage occurs varies with the spinning units. Consequently, for example, yarn splicing requests may concentrate on one carriage, which thus cannot process the yarn splicing requests promptly. This reduces working efficiency to prevent the two yarn splicing carriages from being efficiently operated.
  • the present invention is made in view of these circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to provide a service carriage control system that provides services using a plurality of service carriages (for example, yarn splicing carriages such as those described above) running along the same running path, wherein the system can provide prompt services and can be efficiently operated.
  • a service carriage control system that provides services using a plurality of service carriages (for example, yarn splicing carriages such as those described above) running along the same running path, wherein the system can provide prompt services and can be efficiently operated.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a service carriage control system configured as described above.
  • a service carriage control system configured as described above.
  • one of a plurality of service carriages running along the same running path is stopped at the processing unit.
  • the service carriage control system comprises control means operating if a service requesting unit occurs, to perform control such that the one service carriage covering a work area to which the processing unit belongs is dispatched to the processing unit, and to control a running direction of the other service carriage covering an adjacent area that is a work area adjacent to the work area to which the processing unit belongs.
  • control the running direction includes a shift from a stopped state to a running state, the reversal of the running direction of the running carriage, and maintenance of the stopped state.
  • This configuration controls the running directions of not only the service carriage covering the work area to which the service requesting unit belongs but also the service carriage covering the adjacent area. Consequently, the interference between the service carriages is suppressed to allow services to be generally smoothly and efficiently provided.
  • the service carriage control system is preferably configured as described below.
  • the service carriage control system comprises calculating means operating if a service requesting unit occurs, to calculate a distance between a current position of the service carriage for the adjacent area and the processing unit.
  • the control means controls the running direction of the service carriage for the adjacent area on the basis of a result of the calculation by the calculating means.
  • the service carriage control system is preferably configured as described below. If a service requesting unit occurs and no service requesting unit occurs in the adjacent area, the control means performs a withdrawing control that causes the service carriage for the adjacent area to run in a direction in which the service carriage moves away from the service requesting unit when a distance that is the result of the calculation by the calculating means has at most a predetermined value.
  • the service carriage control system performs the control that causes the adjacent carriage to run in the direction in which it moves away from the service requesting unit (withdrawing control). This ensures a distance between the service carriage running toward the service requesting unit and the adjacent carriage. Accordingly, the simple control avoids the interference between the carriages.
  • the service carriage control system is preferably configured as described below.
  • the service carriage control system comprises approach sensing means for sensing that service carriages are approaching each other. If a service requesting unit occurs in an arbitrary work area, the control means dispatches an arbitrary service carriage covering a work area to which the processing unit belongs, to the processing unit. Even if the approach sensing means senses that the arbitrary service carriage running toward the service requesting unit is approaching another service carriage, when the withdrawing control is being or can be performed on the latter service carriage, the control means performs control that avoids stopping the running of the arbitrary service carriage toward the service requesting unit.
  • the control means does not stop the second service carriage with the expectation that the withdrawing control is being or is to be performed on the second service carriage. This reasonable control enables the arbitrary service carriage to reach the intended service requesting unit in a reduced time.
  • the control means performs control that reduces a speed at which the arbitrary service carriage runs toward the service requesting unit.
  • the arbitrary service carriage decelerates to gain time before the second service carriage completes the withdrawing control. This makes it possible to avoid collisions. Further, once the second service carriage completes the withdrawing control and the approach sensing means stops sensing the second service carriage, the arbitrary service carriage can recover from the decelerating state and return quickly to the initial running speed. Consequently, the arbitrary service carriage can reach the intended service requesting unit in a short time.
  • the service carriage control system is preferably configured as described below.
  • Each service carriage is configured to be able to recognize a position of the service carriage, a position of a service requesting unit occurring in a work area covered by the service carriage, and a position of a service requesting unit occurring in a work area adjacent to the work area covered by the service carriage.
  • the calculating means and the control means are provided in each service carriage.
  • a second aspect of the present invention provides a service carriage control system configured as described below.
  • the service carriage control system comprises calculating means operating if a service requesting unit occurs, to calculate a distance between a position of the unit and an end of a work area to which the unit belongs, and control means for controlling a running direction of the service carriage, after end of the service, of a service carriage that provides the service for the processing unit, on the basis of a result of the calculation by the calculating means.
  • the control means causes the service carriage having finished the service to run toward a center of the work area to which the service requesting unit belongs.
  • the service carriage control system is preferably configured as described below.
  • Each service carriage is configured to be able to recognize a position of the service carriage, a position of a service requesting unit occurring in a work area covered by the service carriage, and a position of a service requesting unit occurring in a work area adjacent to the work area covered by the service carriage.
  • the calculating means and the control means are provided in each service carriage.
  • FIG. 1 shows a spinning machine 1 comprising a large number of spinning units (processing units) 3 installed in a line.
  • the spinning machine 1 further comprises a first yarn splicing carriage 11 and a second yarn splicing carriage 12 which can run in a direction in which the spinning units 3 are arranged, and a central control device 4 that controls the spinning units 3, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 and the second yarn splicing carriage 12.
  • each spinning unit 3 is mainly composed of a draft device, a spinning section, a yarn defect removing device which detects a yarn defect such as slab and which then forcibly cuts the yarn, a winding device, and the like.

  • the running wheels are driven by a running motor 22 to run the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12.
  • Each of the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 comprises a yarn splicing device such as a knotter or a splicer. If in any of the spinning units 3, the yarn is broken while a package is being formed or the yarn is cut as a result of detection of a yarn defect, either the first yarn splicing carriage 11 or the second yarn splicing carriage 12 runs to and stop in front of that spinning unit 3.
  • the yarn splicing carriage 11 or the yarn splicing carriage 12 then splices a yarn of the package side to a yarn of the spinning device side so that the spinning unit 3 can restart spinning.
  • each of the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 is provided with a collision preventing sensor (approach sensing means) 7. If the collision preventing sensor 7 senses something approaching the another yarn splicing carriage, the control devices 51, 52 perform control that stops the running yarn splicing carriage or causes the yarn splicing carriage at a stop to run so as to move away from the another yarn splicing carriages.
  • the central control device 4 provided in the main body of the spinning machine 1, is connected via a signal line to a control device 53 provided in each of the large number of spinning units 3.
  • This configuration enables the central control device 4 to receive, from the spinning unit 3, signals concerning the status of the spinning unit 3.
  • the signals concerning the status of the spinning unit 3 include, for example, one indicating that the need for yarn splicing has resulted from yarn breakage (yarn splicing request signal), one indicating that the need for doffing has resulted from a full package, and one indicating that the spinning unit 3 has been stopped owing to a certain error.
  • consecutive unit numbers 1, 2, 3, ... are assigned to the spinning units 3 starting at one end of the frame of the spinning machine 1.
  • the control device 53 of each spinning unit 3 memorizes the corresponding number.
  • the information on the unit number is contained in a yarn splicing request signal or the like transmitted by the spinning unit 3 to the central control device 4. This enables the central control device 4 to recognize the number of a spinning unit 3 now requesting yarn splicing.
  • the figure does not show all the spinning units 3.
  • the spinning machine 1 according to the present invention comprises 34 spinning units 3 numbered 1 to 34.
  • the central control device 4 is connected via signal lines to the control device 51 of the first yarn splicing carriage 11 and to the control device 52 of the second yarn splicing carriage 12.
  • the central control device 4 can thus transmit various pieces of information to the control devices 51, 52, or conversely, acquire various pieces of information from the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12.

  • the control device 51, 52 position and stop the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 at the spinning unit 3.
  • the control devices 51, 52 then drive the yarn splicing devices 21 for yarn splicing.
  • the first yarn splicing carriage 11 and the second yarn splicing carriage 12 comprise output sections 71, 72, respectively, which output signals to a sensor 61 in the spinning unit 3.
  • the output section 71 (72) outputs a signal to the sensor 61 of the spinning unit 3 located opposite the stop position.
  • the spinning unit 3 corresponding to the sensor 61 having received the signal outputs a signal containing its own unit number to the control device 51 (52) of the yarn splicing carriage 11 (12) at a stop, via the central control device 4.
  • the yarn splicing carriage 11 (12) can recognize at which of the plurality of spinning units 3 the yarn splicing carriage 11 (12) is now stopped (that is, their own positional information).
  • the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 start running from their positions, they can recognize the current running positions by counting sensing of the dog sensor 23 on the basis of the positional information.
  • work areas A1, A2 for the spinning units 3 are assigned to the two yarn splicing carriages 11, 12, respectively, so as not to overlap.
  • yarn splicing operations are divided among the yarn splicing carriages, for example, the first splicing carriage 11 performs a yarn splicing operation on the spinning units 3 nos. 1 to 17, and the second yarn splicing carriage 12 performs a yarn splicing operation on the spinning units 3 nos. 18 to 34.
  • Information on the assignment of the work areas A1, A2 is stored in the storage devices 51, 52 of the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12.
  • the control device of each of the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 is configured as a well-known microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like (not shown in the drawings).
  • the ROM or the like stores a program such as the one the flow of which is shown in Figure 3. That is, hardware such as the CPU cooperates with software such as that shown in Figure 3 to allow the control devices 51, 52 to function as calculating means and control means. Exactly the same program is executed on the first yarn splicing carriage 11 and the second yarn splicing carriage 12.
  • the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 first determine in step S101 whether or not a yarn splicing request has been made. Specifically, it is assumed that a yarn is broken in any (for example, no. 16) of the spinning units 3 nos. 1 to 34 and that this unit (yarn splicing requesting unit) transmits a yarn splicing request signal to the central control device 4. Then, upon receiving the yarn splicing request signal, the central control device 4 transmits a signal to the control devices 51, 52 of the yanr splicing carriages 11, 12, the signal indicating that the spinning unit 3 no. 16 is requesting yarn splicing. In step S101, the yanr splicing carriages 11, 12 checks whether or not they have received this signal. If the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 have not received the signal, they will wait until they receive one.
  • the central control device 4 transmits the corresponding signal not only to the first yarn splicing carriage 11 but also to the second yarn yarn splicing carriage 12. Accordingly, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 can recognize the position of a yarn splicing requesting unit belonging to its work area A1. Further, the second yarn splicing carriage 12 can recognize the position of the yarn splicing requesting unit belonging to the work area A1, which is adjacent to its work area A2.
  • step S101 if the signal has been received from the central control device 4, the control devices 51, 52 of the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 analyze the signal to acquire information indicating the number of the spinning unit 3 making a yarn splicing request (the position at which the yarn splicing requesting unit is occurring). Then, the yarn splicing carriages 11, 12 check the information against the information on the assignment of their own work areas to determine whether or not the yarn splicing requesting unit belongs to their own work areas. The processing in step S102 has been described.
  • the yarn splicing requesting unit is the spinning unit 3 no. 16, which belongs to the work area of the first yarn splicing carriage 11 (Al; nos. 1 to 17). Accordingly, as a result of the processing in step S102, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 determines that the yarn splicing requesting unit belongs to its work area A1. The first yarn splicing carriage 11 then shifts to processing in step S103. On the other hand, as a result of the processing in step S102, the second yarn splicing carriage 12 determines that the yarn splicing requesting unit does not belongs to its work area (A2; nos. 18 to 34). The second yarn splicing carriage 12 then shifts to processing in step S110.
  • step S103 the running motor 22 is driven to cause the first yarn splicing carriage 11 to start running toward the splice requesting unit. Specifically, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 starts running toward the spinning unit 3 no. 16.
  • the first yarn splicing carriage 11 runs while using the collision preventing sensor 7 to monitor whether or not it is close to the adjacent second yarn splicing carriage 12 (S104).
  • the second yarn splicing carriage 12 is stopped at the position of the spinning unit 3 no. 24 and is away from the first yarn splicing carriage 11. Accordingly, the collision preventing sensor 7 does not sense the second yarn splicing carriage 12.
  • the first yarn splicing carriage 11 continues to run (S105), stops at the spinning unit 3 no. 16, which is the yarn splicing requesting unit, and then performs a yarn splicing operation (S106). After the yarn splicing, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 returns to step S101 to wait for a new yarn splicing request while remaining at a stop.
  • the second yarn splicing carriage 12 shifts from step S102 to step S110 to calculate and acquire the distance between the yarn splicing requesting unit and itself.
  • the distance corresponds to
  • 8 units.
  • the second yarn splicing carriage 12 determines whether or not the distance determined is equal to three or less units (S111). If the distance is equal to three or less units, the second yarn splicing carriage 12 withdraws and moves away from the yarn splicing requesting unit a distance equal to at least four units (withdrawing control; S112). In the example shown in Figure 1, the distance is equal to eight units, that is, exceeds three units, the second yarn splicing carriage 12 executes the withdrawing movement but maintains the stopped state.

Therefore, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 shifts to the processing in step S114 to run toward the center of its work area A1 (in the example shown in Figure 4, toward the left end of the drawing) by a distance equal to four units. In other words, the first yarn splicing carriage 11 performs a yarn splicing operation on the spinning unit 3 no. 16 and then immediately runs leftward in Figure 4 by the distance equal to four units.
