Definitions
- the invention relates to a yarn feeding device, which is particularly adapted for use on knitting machines or other thread-consuming machines that sometimes return thread.
- Such machines are, for example, flat knitting machines with a reciprocating carriage, wherein at least at one of the carriage reversal points a short yarn return can occur. Thread return can also occur in flat knitting machines, if they have multiple knitting locks and threads, of which individual can be switched inactive for one or more strokes.
- a storage specialist for use on flat knitting machines combined with a separate dynamic thread store.
- the yarn coming from the storage feeder is fed to the flat knitting machine via a yarn store.
- the yarn store is formed by a long torque acted upon lever, at its free end a thread eyelet is formed.
- the lever is pivotally mounted.
- a yarn brake and a yarn tension sensor are arranged in the yarn path. The amount of thread returned during the carriage reversal is absorbed by first closing the controlled thread brake, so that no further thread can be withdrawn by the storage specialist. Then, the pivot lever is subjected to torque, so that this receives the returned by the yarn guide of the flat knitting machine thread by pulling an acute-angled thread loop in the length.
- This type of thread storage is particularly suitable for Speicherfournisseure, in their application, the knitting machine picks up the thread from the Speicherfournisseur. However, this contradicts the positive feeders principle of the knitting machine to allocate a predetermined amount of thread.
- An intermediate storage of thread is also according to the yarn delivery device DE 37 32 102 C1 possible.
- This document discloses an electronically controlled positive feeder with a looped by the thread Fadenunterrad. The thread running to the knitting machine is passed through a thread store. To this belongs an almost 360 ° swivel mounted lever, through whose end the thread runs. Within the circle described by the thread loop several thread support elements are arranged, which define a polygonal thread store. If thread is left between the thread delivery wheel and the connected machine and is not picked up by the machine, this amount of thread is deposited by the lever on the thread support elements.
- This type of yarn delivery is particularly suitable for yarn delivery with a constant yarn tension.
- an apparatus for controlling the supply of yarn to a textile machine has means for measuring and changing the speed of the yarn with a rotating component.
- the device is provided with receiving means for the yarn, which are arranged in front of the means for measuring and changing the speed.
- a thread store for recording all thread lengths is from the DE 36 29 699 A1 known, which relates to a method for digital thread length control on textile machines.
- the thread store is arranged after a feeder motor and in front of a control motor.
- the DE 34 29 207 C2 describes a yarn feeding device with a rotatable delivery element which is driven by a controllable drive motor. The speed of the drive motor is synchronized with the withdrawn amount of thread.
- a device for winding or winding threads from or on a yarn package known, in which the thread is guided by means of a winding finger on the yarn package.
- the winding finger sits on a shaft arranged concentrically to the yarn package, which is driven by an electric motor.
- the winding finger runs around the outer circumference of the yarn package.
- the electric motor can be controlled in such a way that the yarn is unwound from the yarn package or even onto it is rewound.
- a thread tensioner is provided, with which the thread tension is checked. If there is a need for a return delivery, the winding finger rewinds the thread until the thread tensioning roller is returned to its normal position by the tensioning thread.
- Bobbins are generally grouped together on so-called bobbin creels, of which the threads are only passively removed, if required, even over longer distances. Inclusion of the yarn packages in the active winding and unwinding is hardly desired in many cases and with larger distances between the yarn package and the knitting machine also not possible.
- the yarn storage preferably has a concentric to the yarn feed wheel arranged yarn storage surface, either as a contiguous, uninterrupted surface or as a discontinuous surface, for. B. in the form of several individual surfaces may be formed.
- the individual surfaces can be, for example, support areas of pens or the like.
- the arrangement concentric with the yarn feeding wheel allows the uniform winding and unwinding of the yarn fed back from the yarn feeding wheel on its inlet side with a uniform tension.
- the thread store is associated with a thread layer, which hangs up the yarn coming from the yarn feed on the storage surface and decreases from this again.
- the suture layer may be formed by a thread guide eye which, for example, is guided by a suitable lever on a circular path concentric with the yarn feed wheel.
- the thread-laying device is preferably assigned a thread-laying drive device, which is independent of the drive device of the yarn feed wheel.
- both drive devices are formed by electric motors. Both electric motors can be controlled by a control device which moves the thread leveler and the yarn feed wheel coordinated with each other.
- the control device preferably differentiates between several operating states, e.g. according to claim 9. Thereafter, the controller allows the thread-laying and the yarn feeding device in return operation with matched speeds rotate backwards, so that the retrieved thread is deposited on the thread store, without new thread is tightened in the thread store.
- the yarn reserve thus formed is first used up, with the yarn feed wheel and the yarn feeder rotating with matched rotational speed forward.
- the thread feeder remains z. B. are in a fixed position, wherein the yarn feed wheel continues to rotate unabated forward. From the time the yarn laying is stopped, the yarn feeding wheel then picks up the yarn from the yarn package.
- the advantage of this device is that a connected knitting machine can commute as often as desired without consuming thread.
- the thread is unwound at each shuttle on the thread storage on and from this again.
- the speed of the thread leveler and the Fadenarrirads are coordinated so that no thread is made up by the yarn package, so that the total amount of yarn present in the yarn feeding device does not increase.
- the amount of yarn of the yarn feeding device oscillates between a maximum value and a minimum value, whereby these can differ by more than one meter.
- the drive device of the yarn delivery wheel and the thread-laying drive device are each formed by an electric motor, preferably a position-controlled electric motor.
- an electric motor preferably a position-controlled electric motor.
- the thread-laying drive device is formed in this case by a transmission clutch brake combination.
- the yarn feed wheel is driven in normal operation at a predetermined speed.
- the predetermined speed can be derived from the operating speed or speed of the knitting machine. It is desirable to synchronously operate the yarn feed wheel and the knitting machine in a predetermined speed ratio. This operation is called positive operation.
- the yarn delivery wheel divides the knitting machine to the desired amount of thread and thus determines the mesh size of the knitted fabric.
- a yarn store with low storage capacity between the yarn feed wheel and the knitting machine can be provided. This thread store However, it does not serve the caching of retrieved thread. In any case, its capacity is insufficient. It is only intended for buffering voltage spikes, which otherwise might occur during switch-on processes (starting and stopping of the yarn feed wheel). In the simplest case, this yarn storage is formed by a thin, light and resilient lever that holds a thread loop.
- the yarn feeder is constantly switched between positive operation and voltage-controlled operation when commuting the knitting machine (positive delivery for normal operation and voltage control for return operation).
- Both the thread layer and the yarn feed wheel are preferably connected to angle encoders.
- the control device is preferably provided with a counter or other monitoring device, which counts the angle steps passed through by the thread layer and preferably also the angular steps passing through the thread delivery wheel, in particular during return operation.
- the angle traveled by the thread layer as well as the thread delivery wheel can also be registered in another way.
- the controller monitors in this way the amount of buffered in the thread storage thread. You can switch in normal operation with quiescent thread layer, if the entire forward registered path is traversed backwards or alternatively if the thread layer has reached a predetermined fixed position.
- the suture layer can move from its normal speed are braked gradually to its zero speed to avoid jerky thread tension changes on the inlet side of the yarn feed wheel.
- the thread running on the thread delivery wheel is relieved in this way. In cooperation with the pattern memory of the knitting machine, it can be ensured that this gradual deceleration only takes place when the pendulum operation is terminated in order to avoid an otherwise occurring gradual filling of the thread store.
- the control of the yarn feeding device is preferably carried out by the machine control, in particular their pattern memory.
- This provides the data on the quantities of yarn to be delivered, which correspond to yarn feed wheel speeds, as well as the times for delivery start and end of delivery.
- the yarn feeder converts these values as error-free as possible. It is also possible to operate the yarn feeding device self-learning. For this purpose, e.g. the thread tension during trial operation voltage controlled to a setpoint. In this case, the yarn feed wheel speeds of all yarn feed wheels of all active yarn feed devices are monitored and a suitable mean value is determined as the desired value for the later positive operation.
- the suture layer can further be used to substantially improve the dynamics of the suture delivery wheel. It turns out, namely, that with a sudden yarn requirement from zero to high delivery speed not only the drive device and the yarn delivery wheel itself must be accelerated, but also the entire yarn from the yarn package to the yarn consumption point.
- the thread is to accelerate and also stiction is overcome.
- the thread running on the input side of the yarn feed wheel brakes the yarn feed wheel.
- the acceleration of the same can be significantly improved if the suture just before such an acceleration phase produces a smaller reserve of thread on the thread store and if the suture with the start of Fadenarrirads is also accelerated to the Fadenarrirad first with thread from the thread store and only when approaching to supply its fixed position with thread from the yarn package.
- the thread store serves to decouple the yarn feed wheel during its acceleration phase in terms of power from the yarn package.
- FIG. 1 is a yarn feeding device illustrated, for example, for the delivery of hard (less elastic) or elastic threads used on flat knitting machines or circular knitting machines.
- the yarn feeding device 1 is suitable for yarn delivery on knitting machines, which have time-varying yarn requirements and / or temporarily return yarn.

- the yarn feed wheel 4 is preferably designed to allow particularly large spins, particularly low in inertia.
- it has a number of mutually identical in different radial directions oriented wire brackets 13, 14, 15 (and others without separate reference numeral).
- the wire hanger 13, 14, 15 are taken on a hub 16 which sits on the output shaft 7. They are each approximately U-shaped, wherein they have a central, straight portion 17 for the filament winding and in particular on the drive device 3 side facing a radially outwardly directed projection 18. This marked an inlet side 19 of the yarn feed wheel 4th
- a yarn feeder 21 On the inlet side 19 of the yarn feed wheel 4, a yarn feeder 21 is provided which belongs to a yarn store 22.
- To the yarn store 22 also includes a here preferably frusto-conical from the yarn feed 4 away tapered yarn storage surface 23 which is arranged concentrically to the drive shaft 7. It is preferably substantially shorter in the axial direction of the drive shaft 7 than the sections 17 of the wire bracket 13, 14, 15th
- the yarn feeder 21 bridges the axial distance between the yarn storage surface 23 and the inlet side 19 of the yarn feed wheel 4.
- the circulation lever 25 is associated with a thread-laying drive device 27, to which a preferably position-controlled electric motor 28 belongs. Its output shaft 29 is connected via a gear connection in the form of two gears 31, 32 with the circulation lever 25.
- the electric motor 28 is controlled by the control device 11. It is connected thereto with signal lines 33 and with control lines 34 for driving its windings with the electric motor 28. Corresponding signal lines 35 and drive lines 36 are also present for the electric motor 5.
- the thread-laying drive device can be assigned a locking device 37 for locking the circulation lever 25 in a fixed position.
- the locking device 37 may be actuated by an electromagnet 38, which may be actuated by the control device 11 can. If the thread layer 21 is to perform more than one revolution, the locking device 37 is transferred into the release position, ie unlocked.
- a stop pin 38a is provided, which is movable by the electromagnet 38 between a blocking position and a stop position.
- a thread tension sensor 39 is also mounted, which serves to detect the tension of the running thread 41. It has a thread support pin 42 over which the thread 41 runs at an obtuse angle, it is connected to a corresponding force measuring device 43, which supplies a thread tension measured value to the control device 11 or any other suitable device.
- the thread tension sensor 39 may as shown FIG. 1 can be housed in a part housing 44, on the front side of a display 45 and a plurality of operating elements 46, 47 can be accommodated.
- the specified by the sub-housing 44 and the thread support pin 42 yarn path is, in particular FIG. 2 can recognize, oriented at an obtuse angle to the axis of rotation of the yarn feed wheel 4.
- the thread-laying 21 is used in particular to wind thread 41 on the thread storage surface 23 or unwind from this.
- the thread 41 is guided before it reaches the thread storage surface 23 through a thread inlet eye 48.
- a yarn brake 49 the only in FIG. 4 is illustrated schematically.
- the thread brake 49 is preferably a non-controlled thread brake that adjusts a constant thread tension. If necessary, however, their braking elements can also be acted upon by a controlled clamping force.
- the brake elements for example, with an electrical adjusting device (eg an electric motor or an electromagnet, a piezo actuator or the like) controlled by the controller 11.
- this controls the yarn brake 49 so that the braking force is increased when the yarn feeder 21 fills or empties the yarn store 22 while the braking force is reduced when the yarn store 22 is empty and the yarn feed wheel delivers yarn positively to the knitting machine from the yarn package follow suit.
- a non-illustrated Einlaufabsteller is preferably provided before the thread brake 49. This works preferably optically. But it can also be provided a simple mechanical stop in the form of a mechanical feeler lever.
- the thread monitoring in front of the yarn feed wheel 4 is preferred to the yarn monitoring behind the yarn feed wheel 4.
- the thread tension sensor 39 is less suitable for thread monitoring, because thread tension values of zero can occasionally occur even with proper operation. In addition, it should be prevented in any case that the end of a broken thread runs into the machine.
- the thread layer 21 is also possible to use the thread layer 21 as a stand-off, ie to monitor the thread.
- the force exerted by the thread on the thread layer force is monitored. If this drops to too low a value or zero while the yarn feed wheel is running, this is considered a yarn breakage.
- this can be achieved, for example, by holding the thread-laying element 21 away from the thread a few mm away from the stop (pin 38a), but elastically holding it too taut. If the suture strikes the pin 38a, this is detected by a suitable sensor and evaluated as a thread breakage.
- the yarn feed wheel 4 rotates in the direction of the arrow 50, for example, counterclockwise.
- the thread 41 runs tangentially in a direction indicated by the arrow 52 yarn feeding direction of the yarn feed wheel 4 and via the yarn tension sensor 39 to a yarn consumption point.
- the thread wraps around, how special FIG. 3 can be seen, the yarn feed 4 several times and is thus promoted essentially without slippage.
- slippage causing means such as. Fadenabheberoche or the like, may be provided. Slippage can also be made possible by a slip clutch between the drive shaft 7 and the yarn feed wheel or by a reduction of the looping of the yarn feed wheel 4 through the yarn 41.
- slip can be generated by only very few turns of thread are placed around the yarn feed wheel 4. It is also possible to thread in less than a whole Wrap around with the yarn feed wheel 4 in contact (for example, a three-quarters wrap) to bring.
- the control device 11 determines the speed of the yarn feed wheel 4 and thus the yarn delivery speed and yarn delivery quantity. This operating mode is called positive mode (with tangential thread run).
- the yarn feed wheel 4 stops. No more yarn is delivered. Out of a stop, normal operation can be resumed at any time FIG. 4 be recorded.
- the yarn feeding device 1 assumes its return operation.
- the yarn feeding device immediately detects a reduction in the thread tension on the thread support pin 42 and now tries to restore the thread tension by reversing the drive device 3. It now performs a reverse rotation in the clockwise direction according to arrow 53 in FIG. 5 , It takes the thread 41 thus in the return direction according to arrow 54 with the yarn feed wheel 4 again.
- the thread 41 runs tangentially on the yarn feed wheel 4.
- the yarn feed wheel 4 has already turned backwards by about 30 °. This is by comparing the positions of the wire bracket 14 in the FIGS. 4 and 5 seen.
- the control device 11 has for this purpose the thread layer 21 driven, so that the tube 24, as FIG. 5 shows, has been adjusted by about 15 ° in the clockwise direction (arrow 51).
- the adjustment of the yarn layer 21 is preferably not voltage controlled but "positive", ie according to a calculated adjustment, which is determined from the detected reverse rotation of the yarn feed wheel. For detecting the yarn tension on the yarn layer 21 no means are provided. If necessary, however, a voltage-controlled actuation of the thread layer 21 is possible.
- FIGS. 6 to 9 Upon further feeding back of the thread 41, the states follow FIGS. 6 to 9 on.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the tube 24 of the thread layer 21 while the thread 41 while on the thread storage surface 23 from.
- the thread-laying device 21 has performed approximately a quarter turn, while the wire bow 14 and thus the yarn feed wheel 4 have performed more than half a turn.
- the thread brake 49 may be braked to prevent tightening of the thread.
- the knitting machine stops delivering thread the return operation is terminated. This can, for example, in the in FIG. 9 illustrated position of the thread layer 21 and the yarn feed wheel 4 happen. If the knitting machine now starts to remove thread, the yarn feeding device changes to a modified normal mode, in which now no longer tension-controlled thread taken back, but quantity-controlled, ie 4 thread is supplied to the knitting machine under speed specification for the yarn feed wheel. The arrows turn in the FIGS. 9 to 5 around. Now run the thread layer 21 and the yarn feed 4 counterclockwise with the above angular or speed ratio, whereby the yarn layer 21 decreases the thread from the yarn storage surface 23 and the yarn feed 4 on its inlet side 19 zu causal. Again, no thread is pulled through the thread inlet eye 48. This modified mode of operation continues until the yarn store 22 is empty, ie until the tube 24 reaches the position indicated in FIG FIG. 4 illustrated position adjacent to the thread entry eye 48 has taken.
- the thread-laying 21 stops, wherein the yarn feed wheel 4 continues to rotate unchanged. Only now is normal normal operation achieved. While only the yarn wound on the yarn storage surface 23 has been taken up again in modified normal operation and fed to the yarn delivery wheel and thus the knitting machine, yarn is now drawn against the action of the yarn brake 49.
- the return operation and the modified normal operation can alternate as often as desired. Neither the return operation nor the modified normal operation thread is drawn from the yarn package through the thread brake 49.
- the suture drive mechanism 27 is precisely positionally controlled, it should be understood that this need not necessarily be so. It is also possible to use a non-position-controlled electric motor 28 while only monitoring the position of one of the two gears 31, 32. In the simplest case, it may be sufficient to provide only one or more marks on the toothed wheel 32 or the toothed wheel 31, for example in the form of optical marks (holes) or magnets, which are then detected by optical sensors or magnetic sensors (Hall sensors) , When the yarn feed wheel 4 rotates backward, the Fadenunterradposition or rotation is detected and the motor 28 for moving the yarn layer 21 is driven. The motor 28 can be supplied with a controlled current to produce a predetermined torque.
- the yarn store 22 only takes up the yarn delivered by the yarn feed wheel 4. Turns the yarn feed wheel 4 its direction of rotation to the thread store 22 again empty, it works against the low tension of the thread layer 21. This can also be reduced in this case by the current of the motor 28 is reduced. Reaches the suture 21 his example, by the Hall sensor and the magnet on the gear 31 (or 32) marked position (fixed position) the sizer 21 is braked, ie locked in fixed position and the yarn feed 4 fetches overcoming the yarn brake 49 fresh thread from the Garnspule after.
- a modified embodiment of the yarn feeding device 1 illustrates schematically FIG. 10 ,
- the modification consists in the formation of the yarn storage surface 23, which is divided here into individual surfaces 55, 56. These are formed by individual pins 57, 58, which are arranged as a wreath in the vicinity of the yarn feed wheel 4. Otherwise, the previous description applies.
- the yarn feeding device 1 allows a particularly fast starting and stopping of thread deliveries.
- a dynamic mode which is described below with reference to FIG FIG. 11 is illustrated.
- the dynamic mode of operation assumes that a smaller reserve of thread is built up in the yarn store 22 before the start of delivery, for example, as FIG. 11 illustrated.
- the thread reserve can also be lower. It may have been constructed by the yarn layer 21 in the standing delivery wheel 4 in the illustrated position, that is, for example, has been rotated by a few degrees in the clockwise direction. In this case, thread 41 is dragged through the thread inlet eye 48 and over the thread storage surface 23. This can be done preventively whenever the yarn feed wheel 4 stops out of normal operation. It can also happen controlled by the pattern memory of the knitting machine only when a highly dynamic start, ie a sudden increase in the thread requirement is expected.
- FIG. 11 the yarn feeder is illustrated in state prepared for the highly dynamic start. Now comes the start signal for the yarn feeding device 1 of the knitting machine, the yarn layer 21 and the yarn feed wheel 4 are accelerated simultaneously against the clockwise direction (arrows 50, 51a). As a result of the acceleration of the thread delivery arm, the yarn delivery wheel 4 is temporarily freed temporarily, ie for its run-up phase, from the load of the thread otherwise being towed by it to the yarn package. For the startup phase, the yarn feed wheel 4 has thus overcome only its own and the inertia of the yarn winding carried by him.
- the string delivery arm 21 arrives at its fixed position below the thread entry eye 48 and stops there gradually, ie gently, until it stops. This mode avoids yarn tension peaks between the yarn feed wheel 4 and the knitting machine in case of sudden yarn requirement.
- a yarn feeder 1 has a yarn feed wheel 4 with a drive device 3 and a yarn store 22 with a yarn feeder 21, which has its own yarn feeder drive 27.
- a control device 11 controls both drive means 3, 27 so that on the one hand refiner positive operation of the yarn feed wheel 4 and on the other hand, a thread withdrawal is made possible during oscillation of the knitting machine.
- the dynamics of a yarn feeding device 1 can be improved with this configuration.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fadenliefergerät, das insbesondere für den Einsatz an Strickmaschinen oder sonstigen fadenverbrauchenden Maschinen eingerichtet ist, die zuweilen Faden zurückgeben. Solche Maschinen sind bspw. Flachstrickmaschinen mit hin- und herlaufendem Schlitten, wobei zumindest an einem der Schlittenumkehrpunkte eine kurze Fadenrücklieferung auftreten kann. Fadenrücklieferung kann bei Flachstrickmaschinen auch dann auftreten, wenn diese mehrere Strickschlösser und Fäden aufweisen, von denen einzelne für einen oder mehrere Hübe inaktiv geschaltet werden können.The invention relates to a yarn feeding device, which is particularly adapted for use on knitting machines or other thread-consuming machines that sometimes return thread. Such machines are, for example, flat knitting machines with a reciprocating carriage, wherein at least at one of the carriage reversal points a short yarn return can occur. Thread return can also occur in flat knitting machines, if they have multiple knitting locks and threads, of which individual can be switched inactive for one or more strokes.
Exzessive Fadenrücklieferungen können außerdem an Rundstrickmaschinen, insbesondere bei der sogenannten Fully-Fashioned Technik auftreten. Bei dieser Technik werden nicht nur Fäden ein- und ausgelegt, sondern es kann in bestimmten Gestrickabschnitten erforderlich sein, den Strickzylinder mehr oder weniger weit ein oder mehrmals rückwärts zu drehen. Dieser Vorgang, bei dem der Strickzylinder repetierend vorwärts und rückwärts gedreht wird, wird "pendeln" genannt. Es kann zur Fadenrücklieferung von einem halben Meter Faden und mehr kommen. Die Fadenliefergeräte müssen solche Fadenrücklieferung berücksichtigen.Excessive yarn returns can also occur on circular knitting machines, especially in the so-called fully-fashioned technique. In this technique, not only threads are designed and laid, but it may be necessary in certain knitting sections to rotate the knitting cylinder more or less one or more times backwards. This process, in which the knitting cylinder is repeatedly rotated forwards and backwards, is called "swinging". It can come to the yarn return of half a meter thread and more. The yarn feeding devices must take into account such yarn return delivery.
Aus der
Bei der erneuten Schlittenumkehr wird zunächst dieser Fadenvorrat aufgebraucht und sodann die Fadenbremse wieder freigegeben, um den Faden von dem Speicherfournisseur abzuziehen.In the new carriage reversal of this thread supply is first used up and then the thread brake released again to deduct the thread of the Speicherfournisseur.
Diese Art der Fadenspeicherung eignet sich insbesondere für Speicherfournisseure, bei deren Anwendung sich die Strickmaschine den Faden von dem Speicherfournisseur abholt. Dies widerspricht jedoch dem mit Positiv-Fournisseuren angestrebten Prinzip der Strickmaschine eine vorgegebene Fadenmenge zuzuteilen.This type of thread storage is particularly suitable for Speicherfournisseure, in their application, the knitting machine picks up the thread from the Speicherfournisseur. However, this contradicts the positive feeders principle of the knitting machine to allocate a predetermined amount of thread.
Eine Zwischenspeicherung von Faden ist auch mit der Fadenliefervorrichtung gemäß

Eine Einbeziehung der Garnspulen in den aktiven Auf- und Abwickelvorgang ist in vielen Fällen kaum gewünscht und bei größeren Abständen zwischen der Garnspule und der Strickmaschine auch nicht möglich.Bobbins are generally grouped together on so-called bobbin creels, of which the threads are only passively removed, if required, even over longer distances. Inclusion of the yarn packages in the active winding and unwinding is hardly desired in many cases and with larger distances between the yarn package and the knitting machine also not possible.
Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Fadenliefergerät zu schaffen, das bei modernen Strickmaschinen oder sonstigen Textilmaschinen gelegentlich auftretende Fadenrücklieferungen verarbeiten kann.On this basis, it is an object of the invention to provide a yarn feeding device that can handle occasionally occurring yarn returns in modern knitting machines or other textile machines.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Fadenliefergerät nach Anspruch 1 oder einem Verfahren nach Anspruch 28 gelöst:
- Das Fadenliefergerät nach
Anspruch 1 weist ein Fadenlieferrad auf, das mittels einer Antriebseinrichtung in zwei entgegengesetzten Drehrichtungen antreibbar ist, um den Faden zu fördern. Der Fadenablauf erfolgt im Wesentlichen tangential. Eine erste Drehrichtung dient als Vorwärtsdrehung in Normalbetrieb der Lieferung von Faden in Fadenlieferrichtung zu einer Fadenverbrauchsstelle. Die Rückwärtsdrehung dient in Rückholbetrieb zur Rücknahme des Fadens, der in Rückgaberichtung von der Fadenverbrauchsstelle zurückkommt. Dieser wird dann auf das Fadenlieferrad rückgewickelt. An der Einlaufseite des Fadenlieferrads frei werdender Faden wird in einem Fadenspeicher zwischengepuffert. Dieser ist bezüglich der normalen Fadenlieferrichtung vor dem Fadenlieferrad und zwischen einer Fadenbremse und dem Fadenlieferrad vorhanden. Die Anordnung des Fadenspeichers vor dem Fadenlieferrad und dabei in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft desselben lässt einerseits die direkte Lieferbeziehung zwischen dem Fadenlieferrad und der Strickmaschine bestehen, so dass das Fadenlieferrad der Strickmaschine die gewünschte Fadenmenge zuteilen oder abnehmen kann, und andererseits wird der Faden ohne nennenswerten Einfluss auf die Spannung in dem Fadenwickel und in dem Abschnitt zwischen Fadenlieferrad und Fadenverbrauchsstelle abgespeichert.
- The yarn feeding device according to
claim 1 has a yarn feed wheel which can be driven by means of a drive device in two opposite directions of rotation in order to convey the yarn. The thread run is essentially tangential. A first direction of rotation serves as forward rotation in normal operation of the delivery of thread in the yarn feeding direction to a yarn consumption point. The reverse rotation is used in return operation to return the thread, which comes back in the return direction of the thread consumption point. This is then rewound onto the yarn feed wheel. At the inlet side of the yarn feed wheel freed thread is buffered in a thread store. This is available with respect to the normal yarn feeding direction before the yarn feed wheel and between a yarn brake and the yarn feed wheel. The arrangement of the yarn store before the yarn feed wheel and thereby in the immediate vicinity of the same can on the one hand the direct supply relationship between the yarn feed and the knitting machine exist, so that the yarn delivery of the knitting machine can allocate or decrease the desired amount of thread, and on the other hand, the thread without appreciable influence on the Tension stored in the thread winding and in the section between Fadenlieferrad and thread consumption point.
Der Fadenspeicher weist vorzugsweise eine konzentrisch zu dem Fadenlieferrad angeordnete Fadenspeicherfläche auf, die entweder als zusammenhängende, ununterbrochene Fläche oder auch als unterbrochene Fläche, z. B. in Form mehrerer Einzelflächen, ausgebildet sein kann. Die Einzelflächen können bspw. Auflagebereiche von Stiften oder dergleichen sein. Die zu dem Fadenlieferrad konzentrische Anordnung ermöglicht das gleichmäßige Auf- und Abwickeln des von dem Fadenlieferrad an seiner Einlaufseite rückgelieferten Fadens mit gleichmäßiger Spannung. Vorzugsweise ist dem Fadenspeicher dabei ein Fadenleger zugeordnet, der den von dem Fadenlieferrad kommenden Faden auf die Speicherfläche auflegt und von dieser auch wieder abnimmt. Der Fadenleger kann durch eine Fadenführungsöse gebildet sein, die bspw. durch einen geeigneten Hebel, auf einer zu dem Fadenlieferrad konzentrischen Kreisbahn geführt ist. Diese Anordnung gestattet ein gleichmäßiges Auf- und Abwickeln des Fadens ohne nennenswerte Spannungsschwankungen. Insbesondere bei elastischen Fäden wird somit vermieden, dass der Faden mit unterschiedlichen Dehnungen zwischengespeichert wird. Es wird auch verhindert, dass der Faden, wenn er von dem Fadenspeicher wieder auf das Fadenlieferrad geführt wird, dort mit unterschiedlichen, d.h. schwankenden Spannungen, in den Wickel auf dem Fadenlieferrad läuft. Insgesamt kommt die, wie oben beschrieben, konzentrische Anordnung somit der Gestrickqualität zugute.The yarn storage preferably has a concentric to the yarn feed wheel arranged yarn storage surface, either as a contiguous, uninterrupted surface or as a discontinuous surface, for. B. in the form of several individual surfaces may be formed. The individual surfaces can be, for example, support areas of pens or the like. The arrangement concentric with the yarn feeding wheel allows the uniform winding and unwinding of the yarn fed back from the yarn feeding wheel on its inlet side with a uniform tension. Preferably, the thread store is associated with a thread layer, which hangs up the yarn coming from the yarn feed on the storage surface and decreases from this again. The suture layer may be formed by a thread guide eye which, for example, is guided by a suitable lever on a circular path concentric with the yarn feed wheel. This arrangement allows a uniform winding and unwinding of the thread without significant voltage fluctuations. Especially with elastic threads is thus avoided that the thread is cached with different strains. It also prevents the thread from coming out of the thread store is again performed on the yarn feed wheel, there with different, ie fluctuating voltages, running in the winding on the yarn feed wheel. Overall, the concentric arrangement, as described above, thus benefits the knit quality.
Dem Fadenleger ist vorzugsweise eine Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung zugeordnet, die von der Antriebseinrichtung des Fadenlieferrads unabhängig ist. Beispielsweise werden beide Antriebseinrichtungen durch Elektromotoren gebildet. Beide Elektromotoren können von einer Steuereinrichtung gesteuert sein, die den Fadenleger und das Fadenlieferrad aufeinander abgestimmt bewegt. Dabei unterscheidet die Steuereinrichtung vorzugsweise mehrere Betriebszustände, z.B. gemäß Anspruch 9. Danach lässt die Steuereinrichtung den Fadenleger und das Fadenliefergerät in Rückholbetrieb mit aufeinander abgestimmten Drehzahlen rückwärts drehen, so dass der rückgeholte Faden auf dem Fadenspeicher abgelegt wird, ohne dass neuer Faden in den Fadenspeicher nachgezogen wird. Bei der Rückkehr zum Normalbetrieb wird zunächst die so gebildete Fadenreserve aufgebraucht, wobei das Fadenlieferrad und der Fadenleger mit aufeinander abgestimmter Drehzahl vorwärts drehen. Ist die Fadenreserve aufgebraucht, bleibt der Fadenleger z. B. in einer Fixposition stehen, wobei das Fadenlieferrad unvermindert weiter vorwärts dreht. Ab dem Zeitpunkt des Stehenbleibens des Fadenlegers holt sich das Fadenlieferrad dann den Faden von der Garnspule.The thread-laying device is preferably assigned a thread-laying drive device, which is independent of the drive device of the yarn feed wheel. For example, both drive devices are formed by electric motors. Both electric motors can be controlled by a control device which moves the thread leveler and the yarn feed wheel coordinated with each other. In this case, the control device preferably differentiates between several operating states, e.g. according to
Der Vorzug dieser Einrichtung liegt darin, dass eine angeschlossene Strickmaschine beliebig oft pendeln kann ohne Faden zu verbrauchen. Der Faden wird bei jedem Pendelvorgang auf den Fadenspeicher auf und von diesem wieder abgewickelt. Die Geschwindigkeit des Fadenlegers und des Fadenlieferrads sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass dabei kein Faden von der Garnspule nachgeholt wird, so dass sich die in dem Fadenliefergerät insgesamt vorhandene Fadenmenge nicht erhöht. Mit dem Pendeln der Strickmaschine pendelt die Fadenmenge des Fadenliefergeräts zwischen einem Größtwert und einem Kleinstwert, wobei sich diese um mehr als einen Meter unterscheiden können.The advantage of this device is that a connected knitting machine can commute as often as desired without consuming thread. The thread is unwound at each shuttle on the thread storage on and from this again. The speed of the thread leveler and the Fadenlieferrads are coordinated so that no thread is made up by the yarn package, so that the total amount of yarn present in the yarn feeding device does not increase. With the oscillation of the knitting machine, the amount of yarn of the yarn feeding device oscillates between a maximum value and a minimum value, whereby these can differ by more than one meter.
Die Antriebseinrichtung des Fadenlieferrads und die Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung werden jeweils durch einen Elektromotor, vorzugsweise einen positionsgeregelten Elektromotor, gebildet. Als Alternative ist es jedoch auch möglich, zwischen dem Fadenlieferrad und dem Fadenleger ein Getriebe und eine Kupplungseinrichtung vorzusehen, um den Fadenleger beim Füllen und Leeren des Fadenspeichers jeweils drehzahlstarr mit dem Fadenlieferrad zu verbinden. Die Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung ist in diesem Falle durch eine Getriebekupplungsbremskombination gebildet. Bevorzugt wird jedoch wegen der besseren Steuerbarkeit der eigene elektromotorische Antrieb des Fadenlegers.The drive device of the yarn delivery wheel and the thread-laying drive device are each formed by an electric motor, preferably a position-controlled electric motor. As an alternative, however, it is also possible to provide a gear and a coupling device between the yarn feed wheel and the yarn feeder in order to connect the yarn feeder to the yarn feed wheel during the filling and emptying of the yarn store, respectively. The thread-laying drive device is formed in this case by a transmission clutch brake combination. However, it is preferred because of the better controllability of the own electromotive drive of the thread leveler.
Bevorzugterweise wird das Fadenlieferrad in Normalbetrieb mit einer vorgegebenen Drehzahl angetrieben. Die vorgegebene Drehzahl kann aus der Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit bzw. Drehzahl der Strickmaschine abgeleitet sein. Es wird angestrebt, das Fadenlieferrad und die Strickmaschine in einem vorgegebenen Drehzahlverhältnis synchron zu betreiben. Dieser Betrieb wird Positivbetrieb genannt. Das Fadenlieferrad teilt dabei der Strickmaschine die gewünschte Fadenmenge zu und bestimmt somit die Maschengröße des Gestricks. Zum Ausgleich von dynamischen Vorgängen beim Starten und Stoppen des Fadenlieferrads kann ein Fadenspeicher mit geringer Speicherkapazität zwischen dem Fadenlieferrad und der Strickmaschine vorgesehen sein. Dieser Fadenspeicher dient jedoch nicht der Zwischenspeicherung rückgeholten Fadens. Dazu reicht seine Kapazität in keinem Fall aus. Er ist lediglich zur Abpufferung von Spannungsspitzen vorgesehen, die ansonsten bei Einschaltvorgängen (Starten und Stoppen des Fadenlieferrads) auftreten könnten. Im einfachsten Fall ist dieser Fadenspeicher durch einen dünnen, leichten und federnden Hebel gebildet, der eine Fadenschleife hält.Preferably, the yarn feed wheel is driven in normal operation at a predetermined speed. The predetermined speed can be derived from the operating speed or speed of the knitting machine. It is desirable to synchronously operate the yarn feed wheel and the knitting machine in a predetermined speed ratio. This operation is called positive operation. The yarn delivery wheel divides the knitting machine to the desired amount of thread and thus determines the mesh size of the knitted fabric. To compensate for dynamic processes when starting and stopping the Fadenlieferrads a yarn store with low storage capacity between the yarn feed wheel and the knitting machine can be provided. This thread store However, it does not serve the caching of retrieved thread. In any case, its capacity is insufficient. It is only intended for buffering voltage spikes, which otherwise might occur during switch-on processes (starting and stopping of the yarn feed wheel). In the simplest case, this yarn storage is formed by a thin, light and resilient lever that holds a thread loop.
Bei Fadenrückholung kann ebenfalls mit vorgegebener Fadenlieferraddrehzahl gearbeitet werden. Es wird jedoch bevorzugt, die Fadenrückholung spannungsgesteuert zu bewirken, d.h. unter Kontrolle der Fadenspannung. Damit wird das Fadenliefergerät beim Pendeln der Strickmaschine ständig zwischen Positivbetrieb und spannungsgeregeltem Betrieb umgeschaltet (Positivlieferung für Normalbetrieb und Spannungsregelung für Rückholbetrieb).When retrieving thread can also be worked with a given Fadenlieferraddrehzahl. However, it is preferred to effect the yarn retrieval by voltage control, i. under control of the thread tension. Thus, the yarn feeder is constantly switched between positive operation and voltage-controlled operation when commuting the knitting machine (positive delivery for normal operation and voltage control for return operation).
Sowohl der Fadenleger als auch das Fadenlieferrad sind vorzugsweise mit Winkelgebern verbunden. Die Steuereinrichtung ist vorzugsweise mit einem Zähler oder einer anderen Überwachungseinrichtung versehen, die die von dem Fadenleger durchlaufenen Winkelschritte und vorzugsweise auch die von dem Fadenlieferrad insbesondere bei Rückholbetrieb durchlaufenden Winkelschritte zählt. Alternativ kann der von dem Fadenleger wie auch dem Fadenlieferrad durchlaufene Winkel auch auf andere Weise registriert werden. Die Steuereinrichtung überwacht auf diese Weise die Menge des in dem Fadenspeicher zwischengepufferten Fadens. Sie kann in Normalbetrieb mit ruhendem Fadenleger umschalten, wenn der gesamte vorwärts registrierte Weg rückwärts durchlaufen ist oder alternativ wenn der Fadenleger eine vorgegeben Fixposition erreicht hat. In Annäherung an diese Fixposition kann der Fadenleger von seiner normalen Geschwindigkeit allmählich auf seine Geschwindigkeit Null abgebremst werden, um ruckartige Fadenspannungsänderungen an der Einlaufseite des Fadenlieferrads zu vermeiden. Der auf das Fadenlieferrad laufende Faden wird auf diese Weise entlastet. Im Zusammenwirken mit dem Musterspeicher der Strickmaschine kann dafür gesorgt werden, dass dieses allmähliche Abbremsen nur stattfindet, wenn der Pendelbetrieb beendet wird um eine ansonsten auftretende allmähliche Füllung des Fadenspeichers zu vermeiden.Both the thread layer and the yarn feed wheel are preferably connected to angle encoders. The control device is preferably provided with a counter or other monitoring device, which counts the angle steps passed through by the thread layer and preferably also the angular steps passing through the thread delivery wheel, in particular during return operation. Alternatively, the angle traveled by the thread layer as well as the thread delivery wheel can also be registered in another way. The controller monitors in this way the amount of buffered in the thread storage thread. You can switch in normal operation with quiescent thread layer, if the entire forward registered path is traversed backwards or alternatively if the thread layer has reached a predetermined fixed position. Approaching this fixed position, the suture layer can move from its normal speed are braked gradually to its zero speed to avoid jerky thread tension changes on the inlet side of the yarn feed wheel. The thread running on the thread delivery wheel is relieved in this way. In cooperation with the pattern memory of the knitting machine, it can be ensured that this gradual deceleration only takes place when the pendulum operation is terminated in order to avoid an otherwise occurring gradual filling of the thread store.
Die Ansteuerung des Fadenliefergerätes erfolgt vorzugsweise durch die Maschinensteuerung, insbesondere deren Musterspeicher. Dieser liefert die Daten über die zu liefernden Fadenmengen, die Fadenlieferraddrehzahlen entsprechen, sowie die Zeitpunkte für Lieferbeginn und Lieferende. Das Fadenliefergerät setzt diese Werte möglichst fehlerfrei um. Es ist auch möglich, das Fadenliefergerät selbstlernend zu betreiben. Dazu wird z.B. die Fadenspannung bei Probebetrieb spannungsgesteuert auf einem Sollwert gehalten. Dabei werden die Fadenlieferraddrehzahlen aller Fadenlieferräder aller aktiven Fadenliefergeräte überwacht und es wird ein geeigneter Mittelwert als Sollwert für den späteren Positivbetrieb bestimmt.The control of the yarn feeding device is preferably carried out by the machine control, in particular their pattern memory. This provides the data on the quantities of yarn to be delivered, which correspond to yarn feed wheel speeds, as well as the times for delivery start and end of delivery. The yarn feeder converts these values as error-free as possible. It is also possible to operate the yarn feeding device self-learning. For this purpose, e.g. the thread tension during trial operation voltage controlled to a setpoint. In this case, the yarn feed wheel speeds of all yarn feed wheels of all active yarn feed devices are monitored and a suitable mean value is determined as the desired value for the later positive operation.
Außerdem ist es möglich, während des Positivbetriebs die sich einstellenden Fadenspannungen mittels eines Fadenspannungssensors zu überwachen und, falls diese von einem Sollwert abweicht, Elemente der Strickmaschine nachzustellen. Die Nachstellung kann auch auf Fälle beschränkt werden, in denen die Abweichung einen Schwellwert überschreitet. Nachzustellende Elemente der Strickmaschine können Strickschlösser oder der Warenabzug sein. Auch ist es möglich, von einer Nachstellung der Strickmaschine oder deren Elemente abzusehen und bei überschreiten oder unterschreiten gegebener Fadenspannungsgrenzwerte lediglich ein Alarmsignal oder ein Abschaltsignal zu erzeugen.In addition, it is possible to monitor the self-adjusting thread tensions by means of a yarn tension sensor during positive operation and, if this deviates from a desired value, to readjust elements of the knitting machine. The adjustment can also be limited to cases where the deviation exceeds a threshold. Nachzustellende elements of the knitting machine can be knitting locks or the goods deduction. It is also possible to refrain from an adjustment of the knitting machine or its elements and in exceeding or falling below given thread tension limits only to generate an alarm signal or a shutdown signal.
Der Fadenleger kann des weiteren dazu verwendet werden, die Dynamik des Fadenlieferrads wesentlich zu verbessern. Es zeigt sich nämlich, dass bei einer plötzlichen Fadenanforderung von Null auf hohe Liefergeschwindigkeit nicht nur die Antriebseinrichtung und das Fadenlieferrad selbst beschleunigt werden müssen, sondern auch der gesamte Faden von der Garnspule bis zu der Fadenverbrauchsstelle. Hierbei ist der Faden zu beschleunigen und außerdem ist Haftreibung zu überwinden. Der eingangsseitig auf das Fadenlieferrad laufende Faden bremst dabei das Fadenlieferrad. Die Beschleunigung desselben kann deutlich verbessert werden, wenn der Fadenleger kurz vor einer solchen Beschleunigungsphase eine kleinere Fadenreserve auf dem Fadenspeicher herstellt und wenn der Fadenleger mit dem Start des Fadenlieferrads ebenfalls beschleunigt wird, um das Fadenlieferrad zunächst mit Faden aus dem Fadenspeicher und erst bei Annäherung an seine Fixposition mit Faden von der Garnspule zu beliefern. Der Fadenspeicher dient hierbei dazu, das Fadenlieferrad während seiner Beschleunigungsphase kräftemäßig von der Garnspule zu entkoppeln.The suture layer can further be used to substantially improve the dynamics of the suture delivery wheel. It turns out, namely, that with a sudden yarn requirement from zero to high delivery speed not only the drive device and the yarn delivery wheel itself must be accelerated, but also the entire yarn from the yarn package to the yarn consumption point. Here, the thread is to accelerate and also stiction is overcome. The thread running on the input side of the yarn feed wheel brakes the yarn feed wheel. The acceleration of the same can be significantly improved if the suture just before such an acceleration phase produces a smaller reserve of thread on the thread store and if the suture with the start of Fadenlieferrads is also accelerated to the Fadenlieferrad first with thread from the thread store and only when approaching to supply its fixed position with thread from the yarn package. The thread store serves to decouple the yarn feed wheel during its acceleration phase in terms of power from the yarn package.
Es ist auch möglich, das Fadenlieferrad in Erwartung eines sprunghaften Fadenbedarfsanstiegs oder Fadenbedarfsabfalls vorzeitig zu starten oder zu stoppen (Pattern in Advance). Damit lassen sich bis zu einem gewissen Grad die Trägheit des Fadenlieferrads und angeschlossener Komponenten ausgleichen und Fadenspannungsspitzen oder Fadenspannungsabfälle bei Lieferbeginn und -ende mindern.It is also possible to prematurely start or stop the yarn feed wheel in anticipation of a sudden increase in yarn requirement or drop in yarn requirement (pattern in advance). This can be up to a certain degree to compensate for the inertia of the yarn feed wheel and connected components and reduce thread tension peaks or yarn tension drops at the beginning and end of delivery.

Das Fadenlieferrad 4 ist vorzugsweise, um besonders große Drehbeschleunigungen zu ermöglichen, besonders trägheitsarm aufgebaut. Dazu weist es eine Anzahl von untereinander gleich ausgebildeten in unterschiedliche Radialrichtungen orientierten Drahtbügeln 13, 14, 15 (sowie weitere ohne gesondertes Bezugszeichen) auf. Die Drahtbügel 13, 14, 15 sind an einer Nabe 16 gefasst, die auf der Abtriebswelle 7 sitzt. Sie sind jeweils etwa U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei sie einen mittleren, geraden Abschnitt 17 für den Fadenwickel und insbesondere an der der Antriebseinrichtung 3 zugewandten Seite einen radial nach außen gerichteten Vorsprung 18 aufweisen. Dieser markierte eine Einlaufseite 19 des Fadenlieferrads 4.The
An der Einlaufseite 19 des Fadenlieferrads 4 ist ein Fadenleger 21 vorgesehen der zu einem Fadenspeicher 22 gehört. Zu dem Fadenspeicher 22 gehört außerdem eine hier vorzugsweise kegelstumpfförmige sich von dem Fadenlieferrad 4 weg verjüngende Fadenspeicherfläche 23, die zu der Antriebswelle 7 konzentrisch angeordnet ist. Sie ist in Axialrichtung der Antriebswelle 7 vorzugsweise wesentlich kürzer als die Abschnitte 17 der Drahtbügel 13, 14, 15.On the
Der Fadenleger 21 überbrückt den axialen Abstand zwischen der Fadenspeicherfläche 23 und der Einlaufseite 19 des Fadenlieferrads 4. Der Fadenleger 21 weist dazu ein z.B. aus Keramik bestehendes Röhrchen 24 auf, das eine Fadenöse bildet. Es ist von einem Umlaufhebel 25 getragen, der mittels zumindest eines entsprechenden Lagers 26 an dem Träger 2 um eine konzentrisch zu der Antriebswelle 7 orientierte Drehachse drehbar gelagert ist.The
Dem Umlaufhebel 25 ist eine Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung 27 zugeordnet, zu der ein vorzugsweise positionsgeregelter Elektromotor 28 gehört. Seine Abtriebswelle 29 ist über eine Getriebeverbindung in Form zweier Zahnräder 31, 32 mit dem Umlaufhebel 25 verbunden. Der Elektromotor 28 wird von der Steuereinrichtung 11 gesteuert. Sie ist dazu mit Signalleitungen 33 und mit Steuerleitungen 34 zur Ansteuerung seiner Wicklungen mit dem Elektromotor 28 verbunden. Entsprechende Signalleitungen 35 und Ansteuerleitungen 36 sind auch für den Elektromotor 5 vorhanden.The
Die Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung kann eine Verriegelungseinrichtung 37 zur Verriegelung des Umlaufhebels 25 in einer Fixposition zugeordnet sein. Die Verriegelungseinrichtung 37 kann durch einen Elektromagneten 38 betätigt sein, der von der Steuereinrichtung 11 angesteuert sein kann. Soll der Fadenleger 21 mehr als eine Umdrehung vollführen, wird die Verriegelungseinrichtung 37 in Freigabestellung überführt, d.h. entsperrt. Dazu ist z.B. ein Anschlagstift 38a vorgesehen, der von dem Elektromagneten 38 zwischen einer Sperrstellung und einer Anschlagstellung bewegbar ist.The thread-laying drive device can be assigned a
An dem Träger 2 ist außerdem ein Fadenspannungssensor 39 gelagert, der dazu dient, die Spannung des ablaufenden Fadens 41 zu erfassen. Er weist einen Fadenauflagestift 42 auf, über den der Faden 41 im stumpfen Winkel läuft, er ist mit einer entsprechenden Kraftmesseinrichtung 43 verbunden, die einen Fadenspannungs-Messwert an die Steuereinrichtung 11 oder jede andere geeignete Einrichtung liefert.

Vor der Fadenbremse 49 ist vorzugsweise ein nicht weiter veranschaulichter Einlaufabsteller vorgesehen. Dieser arbeitet vorzugsweise optisch. Es kann aber auch ein einfacher mechanischer Absteller in Form eines mechanischen Fühlhebels vorgesehen werden. Die Fadenüberwachung vor dem Fadenlieferrad 4 wird der Fadenüberwachung hinter dem Fadenlieferrad 4 vorgezogen. Der Fadenspannungssensor 39 eignet sich zur Fadenüberwachung weniger, weil auch bei ordentlichem Betrieb gelegentlich Fadenspannungswerte von Null auftreten können. Außerdem soll auf jeden Fall verhindert werden, dass das Ende eines gebrochenen Fadens in die Maschine läuft.Before the
Es ist des weiteren möglich, den Fadenleger 21 als Absteller, d.h. zur Überwachung des Fadens heranzuziehen. Dazu wird die von dem Faden auf den Fadenleger ausgeübte Kraft überwacht. Fällt diese bei laufendem Fadenlieferrad auf einen zu geringen Wert oder Null ab, wird dies als Fadenbruch gewertet. Praktisch lässt sich dies z.B. realisieren, indem der Fadenleger 21 von dem Faden einige mm von dem Anschlag (Stift 38a) weg gehalten, dabei jedoch elastisch auf diesen zu gespannt gehalten wird. Schlägt der Fadenleger an dem Stift 38a an, wird dies durch einen geeigneten Sensor erfasst und als Fadenbruch gewertet.It is also possible to use the

FIG. 4 is normal operation. In this case, a largely abstract representation was chosen to illustrate the circumstances. Theyarn storage surface 23 is initially shown only by dashed lines to distinguish the surface with thread and surface without thread. Of theyarn feed 4 is in allFIGS. 4 to 11 merely asingle wire bracket 14 for better traceability of the rotation of theyarn feed wheel 4 provided with a reference numeral. It is also marked by a black end. Furthermore, in theFIGS. 4 to 11 only thetube 24 is illustrated by thethread layer 21.
In Normalbetriebsart ruht der Fadenleger 21. Er steht dabei in Fluchtung mit der Fadeneinlauföse 48. Das Fadenlieferrad 4 dreht in Richtung des Pfeils 50 z.B. gegen die Uhrzeigerrichtung. Der Faden 41 läuft dabei in einer durch den Pfeil 52 bezeichneten Fadenlieferrichtung tangential von dem Fadenlieferrad 4 ab und über den Fadenspannungssensor 39 zu einer Fadenverbrauchsstelle.

Beginnt die Strickmaschine oder sonstige Maschine jedoch Faden 41 freizugeben, d.h. zurück zu speisen, nimmt das Fadenliefergerät 1 seinen Rückholbetrieb ein. Das Fadenliefergerät stellt an dem Fadenauflagestift 42 sofort eine Verminderung der Fadenspannung fest und versucht die Fadenspannung nun wieder herzustellen, indem die Antriebseinrichtung 3 reversiert wird. Sie vollführt nun eine Rückwärtsdrehung in Uhrzeigerrichtung gemäß Pfeil 53 in

Ist dieser Punkt erreicht, stoppt der Fadenleger 21, wobei das Fadenlieferrad 4 unverändert weiter dreht. Erst nunmehr ist echter Normalbetrieb erreicht. Während im modifizierten Normalbetrieb lediglich der auf die Fadenspeicherfläche 23 aufgewickelte Faden wieder aufgenommen und dem Fadenlieferrad und somit der Strickmaschine zugeführt worden ist, wird nunmehr Faden gegen die Wirkung der Fadenbremse 49 nachgezogen. Der Rückholbetrieb und der modifizierte Normalbetrieb können einander beliebig oft abwechseln. Weder beim Rückholbetrieb noch beim modifizierten Normalbetrieb wird Faden von der Garnspule durch die Fadenbremse 49 nachgezogen.When this point is reached, the thread-laying 21 stops, wherein the
Während bei der vorstehenden Beschreibung davon ausgegangen worden ist, dass die Fadenleger-Antriebseinrichtung 27 präzise lagekontrolliert arbeitet, sei darauf hingewiesen, dass dies nicht zwangsläufig so gestaltet sein muss. Es ist auch möglich, einen nicht lagekontrollierten Elektromotor 28 zu verwenden und dabei lediglich die Position eines der beiden Zahnräder 31, 32 zu überwachen. Im einfachsten Falle kann es genügen, an dem Zahnrad 32 oder auch dem Zahnrad 31 lediglich ein oder mehrere Marken, beispielsweise in Form von optischen Marken (Bohrungen) oder auch Magneten vorzusehen, die dann durch optische Sensoren bzw. magnetische Sensoren (Hallsensoren) erfasst werden. Wenn das Fadenlieferrad 4 rückwärts dreht, wird die Fadenlieferradposition bzw. -drehung erfasst und der Motor 28 zur Bewegung des Fadenlegers 21 wird angesteuert. Der Motor 28 kann dabei mit einem kontrollierten Strom versorgt werden, um ein vorgegebenes Drehmoment zu erzeugen. Dieses sollte geringer sein als das zum Nachziehen von Faden durch die Fadenbremse 49 erforderliche Drehmoment. Auf diese Weise nimmt der Fadenspeicher 22 lediglich den von dem Fadenlieferrad 4 abgegebenen Faden auf. Dreht das Fadenlieferrad 4 seine Drehrichtung um, um den Fadenspeicher 22 wieder zu leeren, arbeitet es gegen die geringe Spannung des Fadenlegers 21. Diese kann in diesem Fall auch vermindert werden, indem der Strom des Motors 28 reduziert wird. Erreicht der Fadenleger 21 seine beispielsweise durch den Hallsensor und den Magneten an dem Zahnrad 31 (oder auch 32) markierte Position (Fixposition) wird der Fadenleger 21 festgebremst, d.h. in Fixposition arretiert und das Fadenlieferrad 4 holt unter Überwindung der Fadenbremse 49 frischen Faden von der Garnspule nach.While it has been assumed in the foregoing description that the
