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.
