Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the textile industry, in particular the treatment of yarns, in particular texturing by knitting - unraveling and relates to a method of processing yarns by knitting - unraveling.
- the subject of the invention is also a son treatment line for carrying out the process
- the process of knitting - unraveling is known per se and is intended for producing textured yarns available on bobbins or on beams for later use.
- This method has the disadvantage of making a multi-wire mesh, that is to say having several son in a single mesh and a single row. Moreover, it also has the disadvantage of not allowing a knitting of large threads, because of the limitation imposed, on the one hand, by the diameter of the single wire guide and, on the other hand, by the dimensions of the needles. . Finally, the very fact of knitting a set of threads in the form of multi-threaded stitches entails a risk, during unraveling, of a difficulty in undoing the stitches by pulling on the threads, one or more threads which may offer more tensile strength. important during said unraveling, so that it can occur entanglement of the individual son causing their breakage.
- the subject of the invention is also a yarn processing line for carrying out this method, characterized in that it comprises a multi-feed knitting machine fed with yarns by means of coils, a garbage-cutting unit which feeds a machine. winder, with the interposition of an accumulator, one or more heat treatment chambers, chemical or otherwise being provided between the knitting machine and the uncoupling unit.
- FIGS. 1 and 6 appended drawings schematically show a son processing line comprising a knitting machine multihutes 1 supplied son 2 through coils 3, a unit of uncoupling 4 which feeds a winder 5, with the interposition of a battery 6, a or several enclosures 7, 7 'of heat treatment, chemical or other being provided between the knitting machine 1 and the uncoupling unit 4 ( figure 1 ).
- these son treatment lines implement a method which consists in knitting several individual threads 2 on the multi-knitting knitting machine 1, then in carrying out one or more heat, chemical or other treatments in one or more enclosures 7, 7 '. At the exit of the latter or of the latter is then carried out a trimming with traction on the first knitted yarn and the unraveled son are then wound on the winder 5, or individually coupled. It is also possible to perform on these unraveled son another processing operation or directly a manufacturing operation, after their intermediate accumulation.
- each yarn 1 is guided in an individual yarn guide and is knitted individually with the other yarns on the multi-knitting knitting machine 1 to produce a multi-thread knit with superposed single-threaded stitches.
- Such a multi-thread knit is shown at figure 2 of the accompanying drawings and has monolayers superimposed in spirals, which are made in several rows of several stitches of individual son 2.
- the driving device 8 is in the form of two pairs of traction rollers 8 ', extending perpendicularly to the direction of progression and to the longitudinal axis of the knit coming out of the knitting machine multihutes 1 and mounted each in a bearing 9 rotating about the longitudinal axis of the knit, the bearing bearings 9 of the traction rollers 8 'being synchronized in rotation with each other and with the shaft of the knitting machine multichutes 1.
- the knit obtained is subjected to an accumulation before unraveling, in the treatment chamber 7, 7 '.
- Such an accumulation is not represented in the embodiment according to the figures 1 , 4 and 5 but can be realized by means of an accumulation device comprising, for example, superposed mesh gratings for receiving and driving the knitting fabric at a variable linear speed, but at most equal to the linear speed of knitting, these belts being mounted on a common frame rotated about its longitudinal axis, in synchronism with the drive device 8 and disposed between the traction cylinders 8 'of said drive device 8, in the treatment chamber 7, 7'.
- an accumulation device comprising, for example, superposed mesh gratings for receiving and driving the knitting fabric at a variable linear speed, but at most equal to the linear speed of knitting, these belts being mounted on a common frame rotated about its longitudinal axis, in synchronism with the drive device 8 and disposed between the traction cylinders 8 'of said drive device 8, in the treatment chamber 7, 7'.
- the treatment line is arranged vertically and the treatment chamber 7 'is vertical and simultaneously forms a gravity accumulation means fed by the traction cylinder 8' of the drive device 8, the uncoupling 4 being directly connected to the lower part of the treatment chamber 7 '.
- the trimmings by traction on the yarns are carried out directly on said yarns exactly in the same order of succession as that of the knitting, that is to say that the first knitted yarn becomes the first wire unraveled, so that, as shown by the figures 3 , 5 and 6 the son 1 can be unraveled ideally without the risk that the thread of the lower layer passes under the wire of the upper layer and hampers the unraveling, the knitting being, moreover, continuously rotated in the direction indicated to maintain a parallel path of the son after the uncoupling.
- the son 2 are individually wound on the winder 5 or undergo complementary treatment, chemical, thermal or other or enters a transformer station, possibly after passing through a battery 6 ( figure 1 ).
- the uncoupling unit 4 comprises a comb or a plate with holes 11 for individually guiding the wires and a means 12 for pulling the wires.
- the unraveling son 2 can be performed virtually identical to their knitting.
- the son 2 are wound on the winder 5 virtually without tension, the winder 5 being advantageously equipped, in a known manner, a voltage regulating means.
- the disentanglement unit 4 advantageously has a means 12 for pulling the threads comprising a plurality of pairs of rollers 12 'for individually driving each thread 2, each pair of rollers 12' being regulated individually by means of an optical, mechanical or other detection device 13 controlling any variation in the tension of the wires 2.
- a variation in the length of the wire between the means 12 and the inlet of the winder 5 will result in a slack or a more tension or less strong wire and the device 13 will automatically deliver a corresponding correction signal on the pair of rollers 12 'traction of this wire.
- the uncoupling unit 4 may be constituted by a means 14 for pulling and reshaping the knit according to its approximate initial section and by individual eyelets disentangling 15 arranged upstream of the means 12 for pulling the son.
- Such means 14 is intended to directly take up the knit at the outlet of the treatment chamber 7, 7 ', without the interposition of a traction cylinder 8' of the driving device 8.
- the means 14 for pulling and reshaping the knit according to its approximate initial section is constituted by an even number of trainers 14 'in the form of conical screws, arranged in the form of a truncated cone on a rotary support 14 "and half driven by a differential drive 16 ( figures 8 and 9 ).
- the conical screws forming the drivers 14 ' have a lower zone, close to the rotatable support 14 ", smooth and are alternately provided with a step to the right and a step to the left, two screws with opposite steps being interconnected by a pair of gears 17 and one of the screws forming a driver 14 'of a pair of drivers 14' being in drive relation with a drive gear 18 of the differential drive 16, via 19.
- the pairwise drive of the conical screw-shaped drivers 14 makes it possible to ensure that the knit which is picked up by the means 14 is well driven toward the end of the latter and towards the individual uncoupling eyelets 15 and their smooth lower zone avoids any risk of unraveling and promotes unraveling.
- This means 14 is shown in combination with a vertical processing chamber 7 'of a vertical processing line provided with gravity accumulation means. However, it is also possible to implement this means 14 with a horizontal treatment line, such as that according to the figure 1 , with a treatment chamber 7.
- Such an embodiment of the means 14 for pulling and reshaping the knit according to its approximate initial section makes it possible, on the one hand, to facilitate the recovery of the knitted fabric at the outlet of the enclosure 7 and, on the other hand, an expansion of the the latter to a section close to that of knitting, so that the unraveling is facilitated.
- the means 14 for pulling and reshaping the knit according to its approximate initial section is rotated at the knitting rotation speed, in synchronism with the multi-knitting machine 1, by means of a pinion (not shown ) rotatably connected to the rotary support 14 "and the coaches 14 'in the form of conical screws mesh with the drive pinion 18 of the differential drive 16.
- the driving of the drive pinion 18 at a speed different from that of driving the rotary support 14 "makes it possible to influence the rotational speed of the coaches 14 'and thus, by increasing or decreasing it, to pull more or less rapidly the end of the knit to be unraveled towards the support 14 "and therefore to position the latter in relation to the uncontrolling eyelets 15.
- the means 14 may be provided with at least one position sensor of the end of the knitting fabric being unraveled, as well as decelerating position sensors, which are respectively connected to an electronic means for controlling the differential drive 16 and the means 12 for pulling the wires.
- These sensors are intended, respectively, the first to detect an optimal position of the end of the knitting in the process of unraveling, and the others, to detect an optimal position of each wire to unravel with respect to the corresponding wringing eyelet 15.
- the operation of such position sensors and the electronic control circuits to which they are connected is known to those skilled in the art and does not require a complementary description.
- the son processing method may also be interrupted by providing for an intermediate storage step.
- the process is carried out by means of a stationary knitting machine, in which the yarns are individually rotated above the machine by rotation of the bobbins with their support, and then the knit made by the fixed machine. is driven at the exit of the latter by guide cylinders and transported in one or more heat treatment chambers, chemical or other, the knit being deposited at the outlet of this or these speakers in a pot or on a coil and cut after filling the pot or spool, then stored.
- the knit is taken up in the pot or on the spool for unraveling from the last knitted yarn, the pot being rotatably mounted on a support about its vertical axis or the spool being mounted on a spool support rotating around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the coil, the unraveled son being then wound or coupled or subjected to another treatment operation or transformation.
- This unraveling can, of course, be performed by means of a unit comparable to the unraveling unit 4 described above.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'industrie textile, en particulier du traitement de fils, notamment de la texturation par tricotage - détricotage et a pour objet un procédé de traitement de fils par tricotage - détricotage.The present invention relates to the field of the textile industry, in particular the treatment of yarns, in particular texturing by knitting - unraveling and relates to a method of processing yarns by knitting - unraveling.
L'invention a également pour objet une ligne de traitement de fils pour la mise en oeuvre du procédéThe subject of the invention is also a son treatment line for carrying out the process
Le procédé de tricotage - détricotage est connu en soi et est destiné à la réalisation de fils texturés disponibles sur bobines ou sur ensouples en vue d'une utilisation ultérieure.The process of knitting - unraveling is known per se and is intended for producing textured yarns available on bobbins or on beams for later use.
A cet effet, on connaît plus particulièrement par
Ce procédé présente, cependant, l'inconvénient d'une réalisation de mailles multifilaires, c'est-à-dire présentant plusieurs fils en une seule maille et en une seule rangée. Par ailleurs, il présente également l'inconvénient de ne pas permettre un tricotage de gros fils, du fait de la limitation imposée, d'une part, par le diamètre du guide fil unique et, d'autre part, par les dimensions des aiguilles. Enfin, le fait même de tricoter un ensemble de fils en forme de mailles multifilaires entraîne un risque, lors du détricotage, d'une difficulté à défaire les mailles par traction sur les fils, un ou plusieurs fils pouvant offrir une résistance à la traction plus importante lors dudit détricotage, de sorte qu'il peut se produire un emmêlage des fils individuels entraînant leur rupture.This method, however, has the disadvantage of making a multi-wire mesh, that is to say having several son in a single mesh and a single row. Moreover, it also has the disadvantage of not allowing a knitting of large threads, because of the limitation imposed, on the one hand, by the diameter of the single wire guide and, on the other hand, by the dimensions of the needles. . Finally, the very fact of knitting a set of threads in the form of multi-threaded stitches entails a risk, during unraveling, of a difficulty in undoing the stitches by pulling on the threads, one or more threads which may offer more tensile strength. important during said unraveling, so that it can occur entanglement of the individual son causing their breakage.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients des procédés connus à ce jour en proposant un procédé de traitement de fils par tricotage - détricotage, permettant un traitement simultané de plusieurs fils sans limitation due à leur épaisseur et un détricotage facilité, sans risque d'emmêlage des fils tirés.The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the methods known to date by proposing a method of treating yarns by knitting - unraveling, allowing a simultaneous treatment of several yarns without limitation due to their thickness and easy unraveling, without risk of entangling of drawn threads.
Conformément à l'invention, ce procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à tricoter plusieurs fils individuels sur une machine à tricoter multichutes, puis à réaliser un ou plusieurs traitements thermique, chimique ou autre, à effectuer ensuite un détricotage avec traction sur le premier fil tricoté et à bobiner ou à ensoupler individuellement les fils détricotés ou à effectuer sur ces fils individuels une autre opération de traitement ou une opération de fabrication, éventuellement avec une accumulation intermédiaire desdits fils.According to the invention, this process is characterized in that it consists in knitting several individual threads on a multi-knitting knitting machine, then in carrying out one or more thermal, chemical or other treatments, then performing a trimming with traction on the first knitted yarn and winding or individually kneading the unraveled son or to perform on these individual son another processing operation or a manufacturing operation, optionally with an intermediate accumulation of said son.
L'invention a également pour objet une ligne de traitement de fils pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte une machine à tricoter multichutes alimentée en fils par l'intermédiaire de bobines, une unité de détricotage qui alimente un bobinoir, avec interposition d'un accumulateur, une ou plusieurs enceintes de traitement thermique, chimique ou autre étant prévues entre la machine à tricoter et l'unité de détricotage.The subject of the invention is also a yarn processing line for carrying out this method, characterized in that it comprises a multi-feed knitting machine fed with yarns by means of coils, a garbage-cutting unit which feeds a machine. winder, with the interposition of an accumulator, one or more heat treatment chambers, chemical or otherwise being provided between the knitting machine and the uncoupling unit.

Les
Conformément à l'invention, ces lignes de traitement de fils mettent en oeuvre un procédé qui consiste à tricoter plusieurs fils individuels 2 sur la machine à tricoter multichutes 1, puis à réaliser un ou plusieurs traitements thermique, chimique ou autre dans une ou plusieurs enceintes 7, 7'. A la sortie de cette dernière ou de ces dernières est effectué ensuite un détricotage avec traction sur le premier fil tricoté et les fils détricotés sont alors bobinés sur le bobinoir 5, ou ensouplés individuellement. Il est également possible d'effectuer sur ces fils détricotés une autre opération de traitement ou directement une opération de fabrication, après leur accumulation intermédiaire.According to the invention, these son treatment lines implement a method which consists in knitting several
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque fil 1 est guidé dans un guide fil individuel et est tricoté individuellement avec les autres fils sur la machine à tricoter multichutes 1 pour réaliser un tricot multifils à mailles unifilaires superposées. Un tel tricot multifils est représenté à la
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, le tricot obtenu est directement transporté à travers l'enceinte de traitement 7, puis est détricoté en vue du bobinage individuel des fils sur le bobinoir 5. Dans un tel cas, comme le tricotage est effectué sur une machine à tricoter multichutes, c'est-à-dire sur une machine, dont le dispositif d'alimentation en fils individuels est fixe et dont les aiguilles de tricotage sont montées sur un fût mobile en rotation, le tricot sortant de la machine à tricoter 1 est animé d'un mouvement de rotation tendant à le vriller, de sorte que le traitement ultérieur en continu ne serait pas possible.In the embodiment described above, the knit obtained is directly transported through the
Pour obvier à cet inconvénient, il est prévu, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, de guider et d'entraîner le tricot en rotation et en déplacement suivant son axe longitudinal, entre la sortie de la machine à tricoter 1 et l'unité de détricotage 4 au moyen d'un dispositif d'entraînement 8, rotatif autour de son axe longitudinal (
De préférence, le dispositif d'entraînement 8 se présente sous forme de deux paires de cylindres de traction 8', s'étendant perpendiculairement au sens de progression et à l'axe longitudinal du tricot sortant de la machine à tricoter multichutes 1 et montées chacune dans un palier 9 rotatif autour de l'axe longitudinal du tricot, les paliers 9 de support des cylindres de traction 8' étant synchronisés en rotation entre eux et avec le fût de la machine à tricoter multichutes 1.Preferably, the
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le tricot obtenu est soumis à une accumulation avant détricotage, dans l'enceinte de traitement 7, 7'.According to another characteristic of the invention, the knit obtained is subjected to an accumulation before unraveling, in the
Une telle accumulation n'est pas représentée dans le mode de réalisation suivant les
Il est également possible, suivant une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, de mettre en oeuvre un dispositif d'accumulation à rouleaux de renvoi disposés entre les cylindres de traction 8' du dispositif d'entraînement 8, dans l'enceinte de traitement 7, 7' et montés sur un châssis entraîné en rotation en synchronisme avec ledit dispositif d'entraînement 8. L'accumulation de tricot dans l'enceinte 7, 7' permet d'optimiser le traitement de ce dernier, ainsi que d'éviter une tension trop importante sur ce dernier, tension qui pourrait avoir pour conséquence une déformation permanente non voulue des fils après détricotage.It is also possible, according to another alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, to implement a return roller accumulation device arranged between the traction rollers 8 'of the
Dans le mode de réalisation de la ligne de traitement selon les
A cet effet, selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention représentée à la
Du fait du traitement en continu du tricot, le détricotage par traction sur les fils s'effectue directement sur lesdits fils exactement suivant le même ordre de succession que celui du tricotage, c'est-à-dire que le premier fil tricoté devient le premier fil détricoté, de sorte que, comme le montrent les
A la sortie de l'unité de détricotage 4, les fils 2 sont bobinés individuellement sur le bobinoir 5 ou subissent un traitement complémentaire, chimique, thermique ou autre ou entre dans un poste de transformation, éventuellement après passage dans un accumulateur 6 (
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, représenté plus particulièrement à la
Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'unité de détricotage 4 présente avantageusement un moyen 12 de traction des fils comportant une pluralité de paires de rouleaux 12' d'entraînement individuel de chaque fil 2, chaque paire de rouleaux 12' étant régulée individuellement au moyen d'un dispositif de détection 13 optique, mécanique ou autre contrôlant toute variation de tension des fils 2. Ainsi, une variation de longueur du fil entre le moyen 12 et l'entrée du bobinoir 5 se traduira par un mou ou une tension plus ou moins fort du fil et le dispositif 13 délivrera automatiquement un signal de correction correspondant sur la paire de rouleaux 12' de traction de ce fil.In this embodiment, the
Conformément à une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, et comme le montrent les
A cet effet, le moyen 14 de traction et de remise en forme du tricot suivant sa section initiale approximative est constitué par un nombre pair d'entraîneurs 14' en forme de vis coniques, disposés en forme de tronc de cône sur un support rotatif 14" et entraînés pour moitié par un entraînement différentiel 16 (
Ce moyen 14 est représenté en combinaison avec une enceinte de traitement 7' verticale d'une ligne de traitement verticale pourvue d'un moyen d'accumulation par gravité. Cependant, il est également possible de mettre en oeuvre ce moyen 14 avec une ligne de traitement horizontale, telle que celle selon la
Une telle réalisation du moyen 14 de traction et de remise en forme du tricot suivant sa section initiale approximative permet, d'une part, une reprise facilitée du tricot à la sortie de l'enceinte 7 et, d'autre part, une dilatation de ce dernier à une section proche de celle de tricotage, de sorte que le détricotage est facilité.Such an embodiment of the
Le moyen 14 de traction et de remise en forme du tricot suivant sa section initiale approximative est entraîné en rotation à la vitesse de rotation de tricotage, en synchronisme avec la machine à tricoter multichutes 1, par l'intermédiaire d'un pignon (non représenté) solidaire en rotation du support rotatif 14" et les entraîneurs 14' en forme de vis coniques engrènent avec le pignon d'entraînement 18 de l'entraînement différentiel 16. L'entraînement du pignon d'entraînement 18 à une vitesse différente de celle d'entraînement du support rotatif 14" permet d'influer sur la vitesse de rotation des entraîneurs 14' et ainsi, par augmentation ou par diminution de celle-ci, de tirer plus ou moins rapidement l'extrémité du tricot à détricoter vers le support 14" et donc de positionner cette dernière par rapport aux oeillets de détricotage 15.The means 14 for pulling and reshaping the knit according to its approximate initial section is rotated at the knitting rotation speed, in synchronism with the multi-knitting machine 1, by means of a pinion (not shown ) rotatably connected to the
En outre, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, non représenté aux dessins annexés, le moyen 14 peut être muni d'au moins un capteur de position de l'extrémité du tricot en cours de détricotage, ainsi que de capteurs de position de détricotage, qui sont reliés, respectivement, à un moyen électronique de commande de l'entraînement différentiel 16 et au moyen 12 de traction des fils. Ces capteurs sont destinés, respectivement, le premier à détecter une position optimale de l'extrémité du tricot en cours de détricotage, et les autres, à détecter une position optimale de chaque fil à détricoter par rapport à l'oeillet de détricotage 15 correspondant. Le fonctionnement de tels capteurs de position et des circuits électroniques de commande auxquels ils sont reliés est connu de l'homme du métier et ne nécessite pas une description complémentaire.In addition, according to another characteristic of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the
Les capteurs de position peuvent, préférentiellement, être du type à détection par zone, permettant de détecter l'extrémité du tricot à détricoter ou un fil en cours de détricotage, par exemple par vérification d'un positionnement à un endroit prédéterminé de la zone et délivrent des signaux d'accélération ou de décélération de la vitesse de rotation de l'entraînement différentiel 16 et/ou des paires de rouleaux 12' d'entraînement individuel de chaque fil 2 du moyen 12 de traction des fils.The position sensors may, preferably, be of the zone detection type, making it possible to detect the end of the knifing knit or a thread being unraveled, for example by checking a positioning at a predetermined location of the zone and provide signals for acceleration or deceleration of the rotational speed of the
Ainsi, il est possible de positionner en continu l'extrémité du tricot à détricoter de manière optimale pendant toute l'opération de détricotage.Thus, it is possible to continuously position the end of the knit to unravel optimally during the whole operation of unraveling.
Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, le procédé de traitement de fils peut également être interrompu par prévision d'une étape de stockage intermédiaire. Dans un tel cas, le procédé est réalisé au moyen d'une machine à tricoter fixe, dans laquelle les fils sont amenés individuellement en rotation au-dessus de la machine par rotation des bobines avec leur support, puis le tricot réalisé par la machine fixe est entraîné à la sortie de cette dernière par des cylindres de guidage et transporté dans une ou plusieurs enceintes de traitement thermique, chimique ou autre, le tricot étant déposé à la sortie de cette ou de ces enceintes dans un pot ou sur une bobine et coupé après remplissage du pot ou de la bobine, puis stocké.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the son processing method may also be interrupted by providing for an intermediate storage step. In such a case, the process is carried out by means of a stationary knitting machine, in which the yarns are individually rotated above the machine by rotation of the bobbins with their support, and then the knit made by the fixed machine. is driven at the exit of the latter by guide cylinders and transported in one or more heat treatment chambers, chemical or other, the knit being deposited at the outlet of this or these speakers in a pot or on a coil and cut after filling the pot or spool, then stored.
Après le stockage, le tricot est repris dans le pot ou sur la bobine pour un détricotage à partir du dernier fil tricoté, le pot étant monté sur un support de manière rotative autour de son axe vertical ou la bobine étant montée sur un support de bobine rotatif autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de la bobine, les fils détricotés étant ensuite bobinés ou ensouplés ou soumis à une autre opération de traitement ou de transformation. Ce détricotage peut, bien entendu, être effectué au moyen d'une unité comparable à l'unité de détricotage 4 décrite ci-dessus.After storage, the knit is taken up in the pot or on the spool for unraveling from the last knitted yarn, the pot being rotatably mounted on a support about its vertical axis or the spool being mounted on a spool support rotating around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the coil, the unraveled son being then wound or coupled or subjected to another treatment operation or transformation. This unraveling can, of course, be performed by means of a unit comparable to the
Dans ce mode de réalisation, le tricot peut être traité dans une enceinte fermée, par exemple pour une thermofixation sous pression.In this embodiment, the knit can be treated in a closed enclosure, for example for heat-setting under pressure.
Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser une texturation d'un grand nombre de fils par tricotage - détricotage et traitements thermique, chimique ou autre de ces fils. Cette texturation étant réalisée en continu ou de manière quasi continu, l'invention permet une très forte augmentation de production tout en assurant une sécurité de fonctionnement, en particulier lors de l'opération de détricotage.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to perform a texturing of a large number of threads by knitting - unraveling and heat, chemical or other treatments of these son. This texturing being performed continuously or almost continuously, the invention allows a very strong increase in production while ensuring operational safety, particularly during the operation of unraveling.

- Treatment line according to claim 5, characterised in that the accumulation device comprises superimposed meshed belts for accommodating and driving the knitted fabric at a linear speed that is variable but at most equal to the linear knitting speed, whereby said belts are mounted on a common chassis that is driven in rotation around its longitudinal axis, in sync with the drive device (8) and arranged between the traction cylinders (8') of said drive device (8) in the treatment chamber (7, 7').
- Treatment line according to claim 5, characterised in that the accumulation device is an accumulation device with return rollers that are arranged between the traction cylinders (8') of the drive device (8) in the treatment chamber (7, 7') and mounted on a chassis that is driven in rotation in sync with said drive device (8).
- Treatment line according to claim 5, characterised in that it is arranged vertically and the treatment chamber (7') is vertical and simultaneously forms a means of accumulation by gravity that is supplied by the traction cylinder (8') of the drive device (8), whereby the unravelling unit (4) is directly connected to the lower part of the treatment chamber (7').
- Treatment line according to claim 5, characterised in that it also comprises a device (8) for driving the knitted fabric in rotation and in movement along its longitudinal axis, between the outlet of the knitting machine (1) and the unravelling unit (4).
- Treatment line according to claim 9, characterised in that the drive device (8) rotates around its longitudinal axis and is in the form of two pairs of traction cylinders (8'), extending perpendicular to the direction of forward motion and to the longitudinal axis of the knitted fabric that exits from the multi-feed knitting machine (1) and each being mounted on a rotary bearing (9) around the longitudinal axis of the knitted fabric, wherein the support bearings (9) of the traction cylinders (8') are synchronised in rotation relative to one another and with the drum of the multi-feed knitting machine (1).
- Treatment line, according to claim 5, characterised in that the unravelling unit (4) comprises a comb or a plate with holes (11) for individually guiding the threads and a thread pulling means (12).
- Treatment line according to claim 11, characterised in that the unravelling unit (4) has a means (12) for pulling threads comprising a large number of pairs of individual drive rollers (12') for each thread (2), whereby each pair of rollers (12') is regulated individually by means of an optical, mechanical or other detection device (13) that monitors any tension variation of the threads (2).
- Treatment line according to claim 5, characterised in that the unravelling unit (4) consists of a means (14) for pulling and shaping the knitted fabric along its approximate initial section and individual unravelling eyelets (15) that are arranged upstream of the thread pulling means (12).
- Treatment line according to claim 13, characterised in that the means (14) for pulling and reshaping the knitted fabric along its approximate initial section consists of an even number of trainers (14') in the form of conical screws, arranged in the shape of a truncated cone on a rotary support (14") and half driven by a differential drive (16).
- Treatment line according to claim 14, characterised in that the conical screws that form the trainers (14') have a smooth lower zone, close to the rotary support (14"), and are alternately equipped with right-handed threading and left-handed threading, whereby two screws with opposite threads are connected to one another by a pair of drive gears (17), and one of the screws forms a trainer (14') with a pair of trainers (14') being in drive connection with a drive gear (18) of the differential drive (16), by means of a drive gear (19).
- Treatment line according to any one of claims 13 to 15, characterised in that the means (14) for pulling and reshaping the knitted fabric along its approximate initial section is driven in rotation at the speed of rotation of the knitting, in sync with the multi-feed knitting machine (1), by means of a drive gear that is integral in rotation with the rotary support (14"), and the trainers (14') in the form of conical screws engage with the drive gear (18) of the differential drive (16).
- Treatment line according to any one of claims 13 to 16, characterised in that the means (14) for pulling and reshaping the knitted fabric along its approximate initial section is equipped with at least one position sensor of the end of the knitted fabric during unravelling, as well as unravelling position sensors, which are connected respectively to an electronic control means of the differential drive (16) and to the thread pulling means (12).
- Treatment line according to claim 17, characterised in that the position sensors are of the detection-by-zone type, making it possible to detect the end of the knitted fabric to be unravelled or a thread during unravelling, for example by verification of a positioning at a predetermined location of the zone, and they deliver signals for the acceleration or deceleration of the speed of rotation of the differential drive (16) and/or of the pairs of individual drive rollers (12') for each thread (2) by thread pulling means (12).
