- a take-up device In a knitting machine, a take-up device is typically employed to wind fabric in rolls.
- One type of take-up device can wind fabric in rolls having a diameter of about 20 inches. It is not widely employed due to its small capacity.
- the other type of take-up device which is more widely employed due to its higher capacity, can wind fabric rolls having a diameter of about 46 inches (i.e., fabric weight more than 100 kg).
- the fabric is pliable in nature. Thus, there tends to be a waste of fabric in the winding process.
- the fabric take-up apparatus 100 comprises two sets of friction mechanisms 110.
- Each friction mechanism 110 has two operating arms 112 each having axles 112a and 112b both at the same side of and above an axis of the shaft 120 for taking up fabric.
- a virtual line from one operating arm 112 to the other operating arm 112 is about perpendicular to a virtual line extended upward from the axis of the shaft 120 in the fabric winding process.
- forces applied on the fabric 10 is provided by the weight of the edge of the friction rods 111.
- the extent of the perpendicularity is almost 90 degrees as the fabric 10 continues to be wound around the shaft 120 (i.e., diameter of fabric 10 increases).
- a force applied on the fabric 10 is provided by the weight of the whole friction rods 111.
- the force applied on the fabric 10 is not constant in the fabric winding process.
- the force applied on the fabric 10 is increasing in the process.
- a balancing weight mechanism 130 is provided below the shaft 120.
- the balancing weight mechanism 130 is adapted to provide same the pressing force on the fabric 10 being wound.
- the provision of friction mechanisms 110 and balancing weight mechanism 130 may inevitably increase the manufacturing cost and complicate the components of the fabric take-up apparatus 100. Thus, the need for improvement still exists.

- the fabric take-up mechanism includes a bracket, a pair of side frame members, a bottom frame member, a bearing box and a plurality of rolls.
- the bracket and the bottom frame member are disposed on the top and bottom of the frame members.
- the bearing box is mounted below the frame members.
- a Take-up roll and a driving roll are located between the frame members.
- the Take-up roll is journaled for free rotation in bearings at opposite ends thereof mounted on the side frame members, and the driving roll is journaled for rotation at its opposite ends in bearings carried by mounting members which is connected with brackets through pivots.
- a fabric is delivered to the take-up roll through the plurality of rolls that are driven by a motor and a plurality of gears.
- the driving roll is also driven by a motor.
- the motors are installed inside the roll and the take-up roll, respectively.
- a proximity sensing device is mounted on the frame members, which determines the tension in the fabric through detecting the movement of a swing arm to change the rotation speed of the motors by a control means. Mounting the motors inside the rollers requires, however, a complicated mechanical configuration and electronic control.
- US 6,000,246 discloses a take-up device including first and second vertical side panels, a cloth-transfer cylinder connected between the vertical side panels adjacent a top side of the vertical side panels, and two impression cylinders connected in parallel between the vertical side panels and peripherally disposed in contact with the cloth-transfer cylinder at two opposite sides for guiding a finished piece of knitted fabric over the cloth-transfer cylinder.

- an angle of a friction rod from its initial inoperative position to its maximum operating position is much less than that of the prior art. This is because the weight of the whole friction rod is applied on the fabric being wound around a take-up shaft while the diameter of the fabric is increasing. Furthermore, the pressing force exerted by the friction rod on fabric is the same during the fabric take-up process. As a result, a fabric roll with uniform tautness can be obtained.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to fabric take-up devices and more particularly to a high-speed high-stand fabric take-up device having an arrangement for applying same pressing force on fabric being wound around a take-up shaft such that a fabric roll with uniform tautness can be obtained around the shaft.
- In a knitting machine, a take-up device is typically employed to wind fabric in rolls. One type of take-up device can wind fabric in rolls having a diameter of about 20 inches. It is not widely employed due to its small capacity. The other type of take-up device, which is more widely employed due to its higher capacity, can wind fabric rolls having a diameter of about 46 inches (i.e., fabric weight more than 100 kg). However, for the latter one centrifugal forces increase as the fabric is wound-up on the take-up shaft. Furthermore, the fabric is pliable in nature. Thus, there tends to be a waste of fabric in the winding process.

U.S. Patent No. 6,637,241 entitled "Fabric Take-Up Apparatus" aims at solving the above problem. However, the patent still has a drawback as detailed below by referring toFIGS. 1A and1B . The fabric take-up apparatus 100 comprises two sets offriction mechanisms 110. Eachfriction mechanism 110 has twooperating arms 112 each havingaxles shaft 120 for taking up fabric. A virtual line from oneoperating arm 112 to theother operating arm 112 is about perpendicular to a virtual line extended upward from the axis of theshaft 120 in the fabric winding process. Initially, forces applied on thefabric 10 is provided by the weight of the edge of thefriction rods 111. Furthermore, the extent of the perpendicularity is almost 90 degrees as thefabric 10 continues to be wound around the shaft 120 (i.e., diameter offabric 10 increases). At this time, a force applied on thefabric 10 is provided by the weight of thewhole friction rods 111. Thus, the force applied on thefabric 10 is not constant in the fabric winding process. In fact, the force applied on thefabric 10 is increasing in the process. For solving this problem, abalancing weight mechanism 130 is provided below theshaft 120. Thebalancing weight mechanism 130 is adapted to provide same the pressing force on thefabric 10 being wound. However, the provision offriction mechanisms 110 andbalancing weight mechanism 130 may inevitably increase the manufacturing cost and complicate the components of the fabric take-up apparatus 100. Thus, the need for improvement still exists. -
EP 0 591 988 A1 discloses a device for taking up fabric according to the preamble ofclaim 1. The fabric take-up mechanism includes a bracket, a pair of side frame members, a bottom frame member, a bearing box and a plurality of rolls. The bracket and the bottom frame member are disposed on the top and bottom of the frame members. The bearing box is mounted below the frame members. A Take-up roll and a driving roll are located between the frame members. The Take-up roll is journaled for free rotation in bearings at opposite ends thereof mounted on the side frame members, and the driving roll is journaled for rotation at its opposite ends in bearings carried by mounting members which is connected with brackets through pivots. A fabric is delivered to the take-up roll through the plurality of rolls that are driven by a motor and a plurality of gears. The driving roll is also driven by a motor. The motors are installed inside the roll and the take-up roll, respectively. A proximity sensing device is mounted on the frame members, which determines the tension in the fabric through detecting the movement of a swing arm to change the rotation speed of the motors by a control means. Mounting the motors inside the rollers requires, however, a complicated mechanical configuration and electronic control. -
US 6,000,246 discloses a take-up device including first and second vertical side panels, a cloth-transfer cylinder connected between the vertical side panels adjacent a top side of the vertical side panels, and two impression cylinders connected in parallel between the vertical side panels and peripherally disposed in contact with the cloth-transfer cylinder at two opposite sides for guiding a finished piece of knitted fabric over the cloth-transfer cylinder. The cloth take-up cylinder is connected between the support arms. A transmission shaft is coupled to a main bevel gear by an auxiliary bevel gear. A gear train is coupled to the main bevel gear by another auxiliary bevel gear, and a belt transmission mechanism is mounted on the second vertical side panel. This document does not disclose, however, a plurality of transmission assemblies mounted in different vertical side panels and driving different mechanism of the take-up device. -

Further advantageous embodiments are the subject-matter of the dependent claims. - In a fabric take-up process of the device according to the present invention, an angle of a friction rod from its initial inoperative position to its maximum operating position is much less than that of the prior art. This is because the weight of the whole friction rod is applied on the fabric being wound around a take-up shaft while the diameter of the fabric is increasing. Furthermore, the pressing force exerted by the friction rod on fabric is the same during the fabric take-up process. As a result, a fabric roll with uniform tautness can be obtained. Moreover, the constituent components of the fabric take-up device are simplified, resulting in a reduction in its manufacturing cost.

In a fabric take-up process, an angle from an initial inoperative position of the arms to a maximum operating position thereof is limited to a predetermined range as a diameter of the fabric is increasing, and a pressing force exerted by the friction rod on the fabric being wound around the take-up shaft is the same during the fabric take-up process. - The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.

As a result, the take-upshaft 220 rotates. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that tautness of fabric wound around the take-upshaft 220 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotating speed of the take-upshaft 220. Also, adjustment of the rotating speed of the take-upshaft 220 can be carried out by controlling thespeed change mechanism 240 and which is known in the art. Accordingly, further description thereof is omitted for purposes of brevity and convenience. - Please refer to
FIGS. 3 and4 . Thesupply mechanism 290 is provided across upper portions of theside boxes 210 and comprises adrive shaft 291 and two drivenshafts second transmission assembly 260 and thethird transmission assembly 270 are provided in theother side box 210. Thefourth transmission assembly 280 is provided in thearm 231 proximate theother side box 210. Thespeed change mechanism 240 is adapted to transmit motive force to thefriction rod 232 through thesecond transmission assembly 260. Also, thespeed change mechanism 240 is adapted to transmit motive force to thedrive shaft 291 and the drivenshafts second transmission assembly 260 and thethird transmission assembly 270. - The
second transmission assembly 260 comprises fourwheels belt 265 running around thewheels wheel 261 is fixedly connected to the other end of the drivingshaft 241. Thewheels wheel 262 is driven by thewheel 261. Thewheel 264 is provided in a position higher than the take-upshaft 220. - The

Thewheel 272 is fixedly connected to thefirst end 231a of thedrive shaft 291. Thus, thethird transmission assembly 270 can be driven as thesecond transmission assembly 260 drives. Thefourth transmission assembly 280 comprises aseventh wheel 281 and aneighth wheel 282, and abelt 283 running around theseventh wheels 281 and theeighth wheel 282. Theseventh wheel 281 is fixedly connected to thefirst end 231a of thearm 231. Theeighth wheel 282 is fixedly connected to thesecond end 231b of thearm 231 joining thefriction rod 232. Thus, thefourth transmission assembly 280 can be driven as thethird transmission assembly 270 drives. - In operation, the
speed change mechanism 240 can drive the drivingshaft 241 to move thesecond transmission assembly 260, thethird transmission assembly 270, and thefourth transmission assembly 280.

Also, for eacharm 231 the first end 231ais pivotably supported by theprojection 211 and the take-upshaft 220 has anaxis 221 fixedly interconnecting the second ends 231 b of thearms 231. Thus, an angle of thefriction rod 232 from its initial inoperative position inFIG. 5A to its maximum operating position inFIG . 5B is less than that of the prior art discussed inFIGS. 1A and1B . This is because the weight of thewhole friction rod 232 is applied onfabric 20 while diameter offabric 20 is increasing in the fabric take-up process. Further, pressing force exerted by thefriction rod 232 onfabric 20 being wound around the take-upshaft 220 is the same during the fabric take-up process. As a result, a fabric roll with uniform tautness is obtained. - As compared with the prior art, in the invention a balancing weight mechanism is eliminated. Also, only one
friction mechanism 230 is provided.
