Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen eines gesponnenen Fadens aus einem Stapelfaserverband, mit einem Zuführkanal zum Zuführen des Stapelfaserverbandes, mit einem eine Einlassöffnung aufweisenden Fadenabzugskanal, der in einem stationären spindelartigen Bauteil angeordnet ist, mit einer Fluideinrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Wirbelströmung um die Einlassöffnung des Fadenabzugskanals, mit einem das spindelartige Bauteil ringförmig umgebenden Abluftkanal sowie mit einem mit einer Mündung an den Fadenabzugskanal angeschlossenen, gegen dessen Einlassöffnung gerichteten, an eine Druckluftquelle anschließbaren Injektionskanal.The invention relates to a device for producing a spun yarn from a staple fiber strand, comprising a feed channel for feeding the staple fiber strand, having a yarn withdrawal channel having an inlet port disposed in a stationary spindle-like member, with fluid means for generating a swirl flow around the inlet port of the yarn withdrawal channel with an annular exhaust gas duct surrounding the spindle-like component, and with an injection channel connected to a mouth to the yarn withdrawal channel and directed against its inlet opening, which can be connected to a compressed air source.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist durch die EP 0 787 843 A1 Stand der Technik. Bei dieser Vorrichtung wird ein Stapelfaserverband im Streckwerk zu einem Faserbändchen verzogen, dem in einem Luftdüsenaggregat dann die Spinndrehung erteilt wird. Hierzu wird das Faserbändchen durch einen Zuführkanal des Luftdüsenaggregates zunächst in eine Wirbelkammer geführt, der eine Fluideinrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Wirbelströmung um eine Einlassöffnung eines Fadenabzugskanals herum zugeordnet ist. Dabei werden zunächst die vorderen Enden der im Faserbändchen gehaltenen Fasern in den Fadenabzugskanal geführt, während hintere freie Faserenden abgespreizt, von der Wirbelströmung erfasst und um die sich bereits in der Einlassöffnung des Fadenabzugskanals befindlichen, also eingebundenen vorderen Enden herumgedreht werden, wodurch ein Faden mit weitgehend echter Drehung erzeugt wird. Eine solche Vorrichtung erlaubt besonders hohe Geschwindigkeiten von mehr als 300 m pro Minute.A device of this kind is by the EP 0 787 843 A1 State of the art. In this device, a staple fiber strand in the drafting system is warped to a fiber ribbon, which is then given the spin rotation in an air jet unit. For this purpose, the fiber ribbon is first passed through a supply channel of the air nozzle assembly into a swirl chamber, which is associated with a fluid means for generating a swirling flow around an inlet opening of a yarn withdrawal channel around. In this case, first the front ends of the fibers held in the fiber ribbon are guided into the yarn withdrawal channel, while the rear free fiber ends are spread, captured by the turbulent flow and around which are already located in the inlet opening of the yarn withdrawal channel, so wrapped front ends are rotated, whereby a thread with largely true rotation is generated. Such a device allows particularly high speeds of more than 300 m per minute.

Wenn bei der bekannten Vorrichtung aus irgendeinem Grund das Faserbändchen oder der ersponnene Faden bricht, dann wird im Zuge eines Anspinnvorganges das Ende eines bereits gesponnenen Fadens durch das Luftdüsenaggregat hindurch entgegen der betriebsmäßigen Transportrichtung in das Streckwerk zurückgeführt. Hierfür ist im spindelartigen Bauteil ein Injektionskanal vorgesehen, der mit einer Mündung an den Fadenabzugskanal angeschlossen und gegen dessen Einlassöffnung gerichtet ist. Wenn dieser Injektionskanal an eine Druckluftquelle angeschlossen wird, entsteht im Fadenabzugskanal eine gegen das Streckwerk gerichtete Saugströmung, mit deren Hilfe das bereits ersponnene Fadenende zum Streckwerk zurück transportiert werden kann. Der nur in der Figur 10 der genannten Druckschrift dargestellte und beschriebene Injektionskanal ist sich verjüngend ausgebildet und durch das spindelartige Bauteil hindurch schräg gegen den Fadenabzugskanal gerichtet. Es ist in der bekannten Druckschrift nicht offenbart, wie der Injektionskanal bei praktischen Vorrichtungen hergestellt wird.If in the known device, for some reason, the fiber ribbon or the spun yarn breaks, then in the course of a piecing process, the end of an already spun yarn through the air jet unit through against the operational Transport direction returned to the drafting system. For this purpose, an injection channel is provided in the spindle-like component, which is connected with an orifice to the thread withdrawal channel and directed against the inlet opening. When this injection channel is connected to a compressed air source, a suction flow directed against the drafting device is created in the thread withdrawal channel, with the aid of which the already spun thread end can be transported back to the drafting device. The injection channel shown and described only in the figure 10 of said document is tapered and directed through the spindle-shaped member through obliquely against the thread withdrawal channel. It is not disclosed in the known document how the injection channel is made in practical devices.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art günstige Voraussetzungen zu schaffen, dass ein solcher Injektionskanal auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise hergestellt werden kann.The invention is based on the object, in a device of the type mentioned above to create favorable conditions that such an injection channel can be made in a simple and cost-effective manner.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass an dem spindelartigen Bauteil eine die Einlassöffnung des Fadenabzugskanals enthaltende gesonderte Spindelspitze angeordnet ist, die den Injektionskanal enthält.The object is achieved in that a separate spindle tip containing the inlet opening of the thread withdrawal channel is arranged on the spindle-like component, which contains the injection channel.

Dadurch, dass an dem spindelartigen stationären Bauteil eine gesonderte Spindelspitze angeordnet ist, ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, an dem an sich schon komplizierten spindelartigen Bauteil eine schräge Druckluftbohrung anzubringen. Vielmehr kann die an dem jetzt mehrteiligen spindelartigen Bauteil gesondert angeordnete Spindelspitze so gestaltet werden, dass der Injektionskanal auf einfache Weise herstellbar und an eine Druckluftquelle anschließbar ist.Because a separate spindle tip is arranged on the spindle-like stationary component, it is no longer necessary to attach an oblique compressed-air bore to the already complicated spindle-shaped component. Rather, the spindle tip, which is arranged separately on the now multipart spindle-shaped component, can be designed such that the injection channel can be produced in a simple manner and can be connected to a compressed-air source.

Obwohl die Spindelspitze an dem spindelartigen Bauteil durchaus beliebig befestigt und beispielsweise angeklebt sein kann, ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Spindelspitze leicht auswechselbar in das spindelartige Bauteil eingesetzt ist und beispielsweise mittels eines O-Ringes dort fixiert wird. Der Injektionskanal lässt sich an der Spindelspitze so anbringen, dass er an seinem der Mündung abgewandten Ende an einer im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Injektionskanal angeordneten Begrenzungsfläche der Spindelspitze beginnt. Dadurch lässt sich selbst dann, wenn der Injektionskanal schräg zum Fadenabzugskanal verläuft, eine dünne Bohrung senkrecht zu einer Bearbeitungsfläche anbringen.Although the spindle tip can be attached to the spindle-like component quite arbitrary and, for example, glued, is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the spindle tip is easily interchangeable inserted into the spindle-like component and is fixed there, for example by means of an O-ring. The injection channel can be attached to the spindle tip so that it begins at its end facing away from the mouth at a substantially perpendicular to the injection channel boundary surface of the spindle tip. As a result, even if the injection channel runs obliquely to the thread withdrawal channel, can attach a thin bore perpendicular to a processing surface.

Die Erfindung lässt sich weiter dadurch ausgestalten, dass der Injektionskanal an seinem der Mündung abgewandten Ende außerhalb der Spindelspitze im spindelartigen Bauteil mit einem Anschlusskanal fortgesetzt wird, der mit der Druckluftquelle verbindbar ist. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung lässt es sich einrichten, dass der im spindelartigen Bauteil zu bohrende Anschlusskanal parallel zum Fadenabzugskanal verläuft. Der Anschlusskanal kann dann an einer Stirnfläche einer Ausnehmung für die Spindelspitze münden.The invention can be further characterized in that the injection channel at its end facing away from the mouth outside of the spindle tip in the spindle-like component with a Connection channel is continued, which is connectable to the compressed air source. In such an embodiment, it can be arranged that the connection channel to be drilled in the spindle-like component runs parallel to the thread withdrawal channel. The connection channel can then open at an end face of a recess for the spindle tip.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner für die beschriebene Vorrichtung eine Spindelspitze, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass sie den Anfangsteil und eine Einlassöffnung eines Fadenabzugskanals enthält, der über eine Mündung mit einem gegen die Einlassöffnung gerichteten Injektionskanal verbunden ist. Es soll somit neben der beschriebenen Vorrichtung auch die Spindelspitze selbst mit geschützt sein.The invention further relates to the described device a spindle tip, which is characterized in that it contains the initial part and an inlet opening of a yarn withdrawal channel, which is connected via an orifice with an injection channel directed against the inlet opening. It should thus be protected in addition to the described device and the spindle tip itself.

Die Spindelspitze kann an ihrem der Einlassöffnung abgewandten Endbereich eine zylindrische Führungsfläche aufweisen, die in eine entsprechend geformte hohlzylindrische Ausnehmung eines spindelartigen Bauteils einsetzbar ist. Die genannte zylindrische Führungsfläche kann dabei an einer Stirnfläche enden.The spindle tip may have, at its end region remote from the inlet opening, a cylindrical guide surface which can be inserted into a correspondingly shaped hollow-cylindrical recess of a spindle-like component. The said cylindrical guide surface can end at an end face.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass am Übergangsbereich zwischen der zylindrischen Führungsfläche und der Stirnfläche der Spindelspitze eine Fase oder dergleichen vorgesehen ist, an der das der Mündung abgewandte Ende des Injektionskanals beginnt.Furthermore, it can be provided that a chamfer or the like is provided at the transition region between the cylindrical guide surface and the end face of the spindle tip, at which the end of the injection channel facing away from the mouth begins.

Eine gesondert in das stationäre spindelartige Bauteil eingesetzte Spindelspitze ist auch dann sinnvoll, wenn sie keinen Injektionskanal enthält, da eine solche Spindelspitze als ein Spinnmittel angesehen werden kann, mit welchem der Charakter des ersponnenen Fadens geändert werden kann. Beispielsweise lässt sich die Spindelspitze mehr oder weniger an den Zuführkanal heranführen, wodurch sich ein Faden mit größerer oder kleinerer Haarigkeit erspinnen lässt.A spindle tip inserted separately into the stationary spindle-like component is also meaningful if it does not contain an injection channel, since such a spindle tip can be regarded as a spin agent with which the character of the spun thread can be changed. For example, the spindle tip can be more or less led to the feed channel, which can spider a thread with greater or smaller hairiness.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels.Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 in vergrößerter Darstellung einen Axialschnitt durch das Luftdüsenaggregat im Bereich des stationären spindelartigen Bauteiles,
  • Figur 2 in noch stärkerer Vergrößerung einen Axialschnitt durch die in das spindelartige Bauteil einsetzbare Spindelspitze.
Show it:
  • FIG. 1 in an enlarged view an axial section through the air nozzle unit in the region of the stationary spindle-like component,
  • FIG. 2 in even greater magnification, an axial section through the insertable into the spindle-like component spindle tip.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung dient dem Herstellen eines gesponnenen Fadens 1 aus einem Stapelfaserverband 2. Die Vorrichtung enthält als wesentliche Bestandteile ein Streckwerk 3 sowie ein Luftdüsenaggregat 4.In the FIG. 1 The apparatus shown serves to produce a spun yarn 1 from a staple fiber strand 2. The device contains as essential components a drafting system 3 and an air jet unit 4th

Der zu verspinnende Stapelfaserverband 2 wird dem Streckwerk 3 in Zulieferrichtung A zugeführt und als ersponnener Faden 1 in Abzugsrichtung B abgezogen und an eine nicht dargestellte Aufspuleinrichtung weitergeleitet.The to be spun staple fiber strand 2 is fed to the drafting 3 in the supply direction A and withdrawn as spun yarn 1 in the withdrawal direction B and forwarded to a winding device, not shown.

Das nur teilweise dargestellte Streckwerk 3 ist vorzugsweise ein Drei-Zylinder-Streckwerk und enthält insgesamt drei Walzenpaare, die jeweils eine angetriebene Unterwalze und eine als Druckwalze ausgebildete Oberwalze enthalten. Dargestellt ist lediglich das Liefenivalzenpaar 5,6. In einem solchen Streckwerk 3 wird in bekannter Weise der Stapelfaserverband 2 bis zu einer gewünschten Feinheit verzogen. Im Anschluss an das Streckwerk 3 liegt dann ein dünnes Faserbändchen 7 vor, welches verstreckt, jedoch noch ungedreht ist.The drafting system 3, shown only partially, is preferably a three-cylinder drafting system and contains a total of three pairs of rollers, each containing a driven lower roller and a top roller designed as a pressure roller. Shown is only the Liefenivalzenpaar 5.6. In such a drafting system 3, the staple fiber strand 2 is warped in a known manner to a desired fineness. Following the drafting system 3 then there is a thin fiber ribbon 7, which is stretched, but still untwisted.

Dem Luftdüsenaggregat 4 wird das Faserbändchen 7 über einen Zuführkanal 8 zugeführt. Es folgt eine so genannte Wirbelkammer 9, in welcher dem Faserbändchen 7 die Spinndrehung erteilt wird, so dass der gesponnene Faden 1 entsteht, der durch einen Fadenabzugskanal 10 abgezogen wird. Eine Fluideinrichtung erzeugt in der Wirbelkammer 9 durch Einblasen von Druckluft durch tangential in die Wirbelkammer 9 mündende Druckluftdüsen 11 eine Wirbelströmung. Die aus den Düsenöffnungen austretende Druckluft wird durch einen Abluftkanal 12 abgeführt, wobei dieser einen ringförmigen Querschnitt um ein spindelartiges stationäres Bauteil 13 herum aufweist, welches den Fadenabzugskanal 10 enthält.The air jet unit 4, the fiber ribbon 7 is fed via a feed channel 8. It follows a so-called vortex chamber 9, in which the fiber ribbon 7, the spinning rotation is granted, so that the spun yarn 1 is formed, which is withdrawn through a yarn withdrawal channel 10. A fluid device generates in the vortex chamber 9 by blowing compressed air through tangentially into the vortex chamber 9 opening compressed air nozzles 11 a vortex flow. The emerging from the nozzle openings compressed air is discharged through an exhaust duct 12, wherein this has an annular cross-section around a spindle-like stationary member 13 around which contains the thread withdrawal channel 10.

Im Bereich der Wirbelkammer 9 ist als Drallsperre eine Kante einer Faserführungsfläche 14 angeordnet, die leicht exzentrisch zum Fadenabzugskanal 10 im Bereich von dessen Einlassöffnung 15 angeordnet ist.In the area of the vortex chamber 9, an edge of a fiber guide surface 14 is arranged as a swirl barrier, which is arranged slightly eccentrically to the yarn withdrawal channel 10 in the region of its inlet opening 15.

In der Vorrichtung werden die zu verspinnenden Fasern einerseits im Faserbändchen 7 gehalten und so vom Zuführkanal 8 im Wesentlichen ohne Drehungserteilung in den Fadenabzugskanal 10 geführt. Andererseits sind die Fasern aber in dem Bereich zwischen dem Zuführkanal 8 und dem Fadenabzugskanal 10 der Wirkung der Wirbelströmung ausgesetzt, durch die sie oder mindestens ihre Endbereiche von der Einlassöffnung 15 des Fadenabzugskanals 10 radial weggetrieben werden. Die mit dem beschriebenen Verfahren hergestellten Fäden 1 zeigen dadurch einen Kern von im Wesentlichen in Fadenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Fasern oder Faserbereichen ohne wesentliche Drehung und einen äußeren Bereich, in welchem die Fasern oder Faserbereiche um den Kern herum gedreht sind.In the apparatus, the fibers to be spun are held on the one hand in the fiber ribbon 7 and thus guided by the feed channel 8 substantially without rotation in the thread withdrawal channel 10. On the other hand, in the region between the feed channel 8 and the thread withdrawal channel 10, the fibers are exposed to the effect of the turbulent flow through which they or at least their end portions are radially expelled from the inlet port 15 of the yarn withdrawal channel 10. The yarns 1 produced by the described method thereby exhibit a core of substantially longitudinally extending fibers or fiber regions without substantial rotation and an outer region in which the fibers or fiber regions are rotated around the core.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art erlaubt besonders hohe Spinngeschwindigkeiten, die in der Größenordnung von 600 m pro Minute liegen können.A device of this kind allows particularly high spinning speeds, which can be on the order of 600 m per minute.

Wenn aus irgendeinem Grund das noch sehr schwache ungedrehte Faserbändchen 7 oder der ersponnene Faden 1 bricht, findet anschließend ein Anspinnvorgang statt, bei welchem das Ende des ersponnenen Fadens 1 entgegen der Abzugsrichtung B zum Streckwerk 3 zurückgeführt wird. Hierfür ist als Hilfsmittel ein Injektionskanal 16 vorgesehen, der an eine Druckluftquelle 17 anschließbar ist und dessen Mündung 18 an den Fadenabzugskanal 10 angeschlossen und gegen dessen Einlassöffnung 15 gerichtet ist. Dadurch lässt sich im Fadenabzugskanal 10 ein gegen das Streckwerk 3 gerichteter Saugluftstrom erreichen, der das Ende des ersponnenen Fadens 1 zum Lieferwalzenpaar 5,6 zurückführt.If, for some reason, the still very weak untwisted fiber ribbon 7 or the spun yarn 1 breaks, then a piecing process takes place in which the end of the spun yarn 1 is fed back against draft direction B to the drafting unit 3. For this purpose, an injection channel 16 is provided as an aid, which is connectable to a compressed air source 17 and whose mouth 18 is connected to the thread withdrawal channel 10 and directed against the inlet opening 15. As a result, in the yarn withdrawal channel 10, a directed against the drafting 3 suction air stream can be achieved, which returns the end of the spun yarn 1 to the delivery roller pair 5.6.

Da es nicht ganz einfach ist, den einen nur kleinen Durchmesser aufweisenden Injektionskanal 16 schräg zum Fadenabzugskanal 10 gerichtet im spindelartigen Bauteil 13 anzubringen, ist erfindungsgemäß eine Spindelspitze 19 vorgesehen, die an dem spindelartigen Bauteil 13, angeordnet ist und eine die Einlassöffnung 15 des Fadenabzugskanals 10 sowie den Injektionskanal 16 enthält. Es sei in diesem Zusammenhang zusätzlich auf die stark vergrößert dargestellte Figur 2 verwiesen. Man erkennt hier die separat dargestellte Spindelspitze 19 mit dem Injektionskanal 16, der mit seiner Mündung 18 gegen die Einlassöffnung 15 gerichtet ist.Since it is not easy to attach the only small diameter injection channel 16 directed obliquely to the thread withdrawal channel 10 in the spindle-like member 13, a spindle tip 19 is provided according to the invention, which is arranged on the spindle-like member 13, and the inlet opening 15 of the thread withdrawal channel 10th and the injection channel 16 contains. In this context, it should be additionally shown on the greatly enlarged FIG. 2 directed. It can be seen here the spindle tip 19 shown separately with the injection channel 16, which is directed with its mouth 18 against the inlet opening 15.

Die Spindelspitze 19 ist leicht auswechselbar in das spindelartige Bauteil 13 eingesetzt und mittels eines O-Ringes 20 dort fixiert.The spindle tip 19 is easily interchangeable inserted into the spindle-like component 13 and fixed there by means of an O-ring 20.

Der Injektionskanal 16 beginnt mit seinem der Mündung 18 abgewandten Ende 21 an einer im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Injektionskanal 16 angeordneten Begrenzungsfläche 22 der Spindelspitze 19. Dadurch lässt sich der Injektionskanal 16 leicht im spindelartigen Bauteil 13 durch eine Bohrung anbringen, auch wenn diese schräg zum Fadenabzugskanal 10 verläuft. An seinem der Mündung 18 abgewandten Ende 21 ist der Injektionskanal 16 außerhalb der Spindelspitze im spindelartigen Bauteil 13 mit einem Anschlusskanal 23 fortgesetzt, welcher seinerseits bei Bedarf mit der Druckluftquelle 17 verbindbar ist. Dadurch, dass sich zwischen dem Injektionskanal 16 und dem Anschlusskanal 23 auf diese Weise eine Trennfuge ergibt, brauchen beide Kanäle nicht unter einem gleichen Winkel geneigt zu sein. Der Anschlusskanal 23 kann daher parallel zum Fadenabzugskanal 10 verlaufen, was sich wesentlich einfacher herstellen lässt, als dies beim Stand der Technik der Fall war. Der Anschlusskanal 23 kann dabei an einer Stirnfläche 24 einer Ausnehmung 25 für die Spindelspitze 19 münden.The injection channel 16 begins with its mouth 21 facing away from the end 21 at a substantially perpendicular to the injection channel 16 boundary surface 22 of the spindle tip 19. Thus, the injection channel 16 can be easily mounted in the spindle-like member 13 through a bore, even if this obliquely to the thread withdrawal channel 10th runs. At its end 21 facing away from the mouth 18, the injection channel 16 continues outside the spindle tip in the spindle-shaped component 13 with a connection channel 23 which in turn, when needed with the compressed air source 17 is connectable. Characterized in that results in this way between the injection channel 16 and the connection channel 23 a parting line, both channels need not be inclined at an equal angle. The connection channel 23 can therefore run parallel to the thread withdrawal channel 10, which can be produced much easier than was the case in the prior art. The connection channel 23 can open on an end face 24 of a recess 25 for the spindle tip 19.

Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, enthält die Spindelspitze 19 den Anfangsteil 26 und die Einlassöffnung 15 des Fadenabzugskanals 10. In diesen Anfangsteil 26 mündet der Injektionskanal 16 mit seiner Mündung 18, Der Anfangsteil 26 gehört somit zum Fadenabzugskanal 10 und ist mit diesem koaxial.Like from the FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen, the spindle tip 19 contains the initial part 26 and the inlet opening 15 of the thread withdrawal channel 10. In this initial part 26 of the injection channel 16 opens with its mouth 18, the initial part 26 thus belongs to the thread withdrawal channel 10 and is coaxial with this.

Die Spindelspitze 19 weist an ihrem der Einlassöffnung 15 abgewandten Endbereich 27 außen eine zylindrische Führungsfläche 28 auf, die in eine entsprechend geformte hohlzylindrische Ausnehmung 25 des spindelartigen Bauteils 13 einsetzbar ist. Die zylindrische Führungsfläche 28 endet an einer Stirnfläche 29.The spindle tip 19 has on its side facing away from the inlet opening 15 end portion 27 outside a cylindrical guide surface 28 which is insertable into a correspondingly shaped hollow cylindrical recess 25 of the spindle-like member 13. The cylindrical guide surface 28 ends at an end face 29.

Am Übergangsbereich 30 zwischen der zylindrischen Führungsfläche 28 und der Stirnfläche 29 ist eine Fase 31 oder dergleichen vorgesehen, an der das der Mündung 18 abgewandte Ende 21 des Injektionskanals 16 beginnt.At the transition region 30 between the cylindrical guide surface 28 and the end face 29, a chamfer 31 or the like is provided, at which the mouth 18 remote from the end 21 of the injection channel 16 begins.
