Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rotordüsekonverter zum Konvertieren von einem oder mehreren Endlosgarn/en in Stapelfasern.The invention relates to a rotary nozzle converter for converting one or more endless yarns into staple fibers.
Aus der
Für neue Entwicklungen im Bereich der Medizintextilien und technischen Textilien, im Materialbereich einerseits und im Produktbereich andererseits, werden Stapelfasern aus Endlosgarnen benötigt. Der hohe Preis der Rohstoffe und die Materialeigenschaften bedingen, dass bekannte Verfahren aufgrund des Massendurchsatzes oder der erforderlichen Sprödigkeit des Fasermaterials nicht angewandt werden können. Meist werden die Fasern von Hand geschnitten. Dabei werden sowohl die Ansprüche an die Stapellänge, die Kosten wie auch an die Reinheit nicht erfüllt.For new developments in the field of medical textiles and technical textiles, in the field of materials on the one hand and in the product sector on the other hand, staple fibers made of continuous filaments are needed. The high price of the raw materials and the material properties mean that known processes can not be used due to the mass throughput or the required brittleness of the fiber material. Most of the fibers are cut by hand. Both the claims become to the length of the pile, the cost as well as the purity is not met.
Der Erfindung liegt daher insbesondere die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Konverter zu schaffen, mit dem Fasern bzw. Garne optimal geschnitten werden können.The invention is therefore in particular the object of providing a converter with which fibers or yarns can be optimally cut.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Rotordüsekonverter gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst, wobei weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindungen den Ansprüchen 2 bis 23 entnommen werden können.The object is achieved by a Rotordüsekonverter according to claim 1, wherein further embodiments of the inventions can be found in claims 2 to 23.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Rotordüsekonverter zum Konvertieren von einem oder mehreren Endlosgarn/en in Stapelfasern mittels einer Rotordüse und einer Schneide, wobei die Düsenfunktion in den Rotor integriert ist und das Garn um einen Winkel von weniger als 90° umgelenkt wird. Unter einer Schneide soll hier bevorzugt eine Klinge mit zumindest einer Schneidkante verstanden werden. Die Rotordüse saugt den Faserstrang selbst an und fördert ihn mittels eines zugeführten Gasstroms, vorzugsweise mittels Luft, mit derselben Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher das Endlosgarn zugeführt wird, zu einem Düsenaustritt des Rotors. Durch die Unterdruckbeaufschlagung im Einzugsbereich und das Transportieren mittels eines Luftstroms zu den Schneiden wird der Faden vorteilhafterweise über den gesamten Transportweg gerade ausgerichtet. Ferner ermöglicht das Selbstansaugen der Düse eine Integration des Rotordüsekonverters in einen laufenden Prozess zur Weiterverarbeitung der Stapelfasern und senkt den Luftverbrauch des Konverters gegenüber einer getrennten Anordnung von Düse und Rotor. Eine so genannte In-Line-Schaltung ist wichtig, um die Reinheit des Materials zu gewährleisten und Garnschädigungen durch Spulvorgänge, Nachkristallisation, Lagerung und Transport zu vermeiden. Gleichzeitig wird der Prozess durch Zusammenfassen einzelner Stufen produktiver. Es sind dadurch eine höhere Prozessgeschwindigkeit und die Einsparung von Kosten möglich. Indem das Garn um einen Winkel von weniger als 90° umgelenkt wird, können alle Fasertypen verarbeitet werden.The invention relates to a rotary nozzle converter for converting one or more endless yarns into staple fibers by means of a rotor nozzle and a cutter, wherein the nozzle function is integrated into the rotor and the yarn is deflected by an angle of less than 90 °. Under a cutting should be understood here preferably a blade with at least one cutting edge. The rotor nozzle sucks the fiber strand itself and conveys it by means of a supplied gas stream, preferably by means of air, at the same speed at which the endless yarn is fed to a nozzle exit of the rotor. By the negative pressure in the catchment area and the transport by means of an air flow to the cutting the thread is advantageously aligned straight over the entire transport path. Further, the self-priming of the nozzle allows integration of the rotor nozzle converter in a running process for further processing of the staple fibers and reduces the air consumption of the converter with respect to a separate arrangement of nozzle and rotor. A so-called in-line circuit is important to ensure the purity of the material and to avoid yarn damage by winding operations, recrystallization, storage and transport. At the same time, the process becomes more productive by combining individual stages. Thereby a higher process speed and the saving of costs are possible. By deflecting the yarn at an angle of less than 90 °, all fiber types can be processed.
Die Umlenkung des Garns führt zu einem Austritt des Garns an einem äußeren Rand bzw. einer Stirnseite der Rotordüse, wodurch das Garn mit einer erhöhten Geschwindigkeit bewegt und geschnitten wird.The deflection of the yarn causes the yarn to exit at an outer edge of the rotor nozzle, thereby moving and cutting the yarn at an increased speed.
Vorteilhafterweise ist eine zweite Schneide vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise wirkt diese als Gegenschneide zur ersten Schneide. Die Ausgestaltung ermöglicht ein Trennen von Fasern mit weichelastischer und zäher Beschaffenheit, da die beiden Schneiden ausreichend Kraft entwickeln, um auch zähe Fasern zu schneiden, wobei die zweite Schneide einen Gegendruck zu dem von der ersten Schneide entwickelten Druck aufbringt.Advantageously, a second cutting edge is provided. Preferably, this acts as a counter-blade to the first cutting edge. The design allows separation of fibers of soft and tough nature, since the two cutting edges develop sufficient force to cut tough fibers as well, with the second cutting edge applying a counter pressure to the pressure developed by the first cutting edge.
Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die zweite Schneide drehbar gelagert ist. Aufgrund der Rotation der zweiten Schneide sind die beiden Schneiden nicht ständig in Kontakt. Hierdurch wird die Entstehung von Wärme vermieden, da sich die beiden Schneiden nur einmal pro Umdrehung des Rotors berühren.It is proposed that the second cutting edge is rotatably mounted. Due to the rotation of the second cutting edge, the two cutting edges are not in constant contact. As a result, the generation of heat is avoided because the two edges only touch once per revolution of the rotor.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die zweite Schneide am Rotor befestigt ist. Dies ermöglicht einen einfachen Aufbau des Konverters, da auf eine separate Lagerung der zweiten Schneide verzichtet werden kann. Die zweite Schneide kann ein Aufsatzblech sein, das auf einer Fläche des Rotordüsekonverters, bevorzugt einer Stirnseite des Rotordüsekonverters, in der auch zumindest eine Austrittsöffnung des Garns angeordnet ist, auf deren gesamter Erstreckung aufgebracht ist und zumindest eine Aussparung aufweist, die die Austrittsöffnung freigibt und die an ihren Rändern schneidenartig ausgeformt ist.It is also proposed that the second cutting edge is fixed to the rotor. This allows a simple construction of the converter, as can be dispensed with a separate storage of the second cutting edge. The second cutting edge may be an attachment plate, which is applied to a surface of the Rotordüsekonverters, preferably an end face of the Rotordüsekonverters in which at least one outlet opening of the yarn is applied to the entire extent and at least one recess which releases the outlet opening and the is cut like a blade at its edges.
Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die zweite Schneide segmentartig eine Stirnseite der Rotordüse überdeckt. Hierbei ist als Stirnseite die Seite der Rotordüse definiert, an der die Austrittsöffnung des Endlosgarns angeordnet ist. Segmentartig bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die zweite Schneide nur einen Teilbereich der Stirnseite des Rotordüsekonverters überdeckt und große Teile der Gesamtfläche frei bleiben. Vorteilhafterweise ist die zweite Schneide als Blechteil ausgebildet, das an der der Austrittsöffnung des Garns zugewandten Seite schneidenartig angeschrägt ist. Darüber hinaus ist dieses Blechteil leicht und kostengünstig herstellbar bzw. austauschbar.It is proposed that the second cutting edge cover a front side of the rotor nozzle in a segment-like manner. Here, the side of the rotor nozzle is defined as the end face on which the outlet opening of the endless yarn is arranged. Segment-like in this context means that the second cutting only covers a portion of the end face of the Rotordüsekonverters and remain free large parts of the total area. Advantageously, the second cutting edge is formed as a sheet metal part which is beveled like a blade on the side facing the outlet opening of the yarn. In addition, this sheet metal part is easy and inexpensive to produce or replace.
Ferner ist es von Vorteil, wenn eine Schneidkante der zweiten Schneide eine Sekante zu einer Austrittsöffnung des Garns bildet. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Schneidkante der zweiten Schneide an einer Seite der Austrittsöffnung des Garns angeordnet, die bei einer Ausführung eines Schnitts, in einer Projektionsdarstellung gesehen, gegenüber der Seite liegt, an der die erste Schneide angeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird eine gleich bleibende und gute Schnittqualität gewährleistet.Furthermore, it is advantageous if a cutting edge of the second cutting edge forms a secant to an exit opening of the yarn. Advantageously, the cutting edge of the second cutting edge is arranged on one side of the exit opening of the yarn, which, in one embodiment of a cut, viewed in a projection view, lies opposite the side on which the first cutting edge is arranged. This ensures a consistent and good quality of cut.
Des Weiteren kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn zumindest eine Schneidkante der ersten Schneide und zumindest eine Schneidkante der zweiten Schneide in zumindest einem Betriebsmodus in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, wodurch der Schnitt des Garns korrekt und µm-genau ausgeführt werden kann.Furthermore, it may be advantageous if at least one cutting edge of the first cutting edge and at least one cutting edge of the second cutting edge lie in a common plane in at least one operating mode, whereby the cut of the yarn can be carried out correctly and with μm accuracy.
Eine hohe Kraftentwicklung zum Schneiden des Garns kann erreicht werden, wenn in zumindest einem Betriebsmodus die erste Schneide und die zweite Schneide gegeneinander vorgespannt sind. Der Betriebsmodus stellt bevorzugt einen Schneidevorgang dar.A high power development for cutting the yarn can be achieved if, in at least one operating mode, the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are biased against each other are. The operating mode preferably represents a cutting operation.
Besonders vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn zumindest eine Schneidkante der ersten Schneide und zumindest eine Schneidkante der zweiten Schneide eine Verkippung zueinander aufweisen, die dazu vorgesehen ist, bei einem Schneidvorgang mittels der Schneidkanten eine Kraftkomponente zwischen den Schneiden einzustellen. Dadurch kann insbesondere eine Spannung zwischen den Schneiden aufgebaut und/oder auch eine Veränderung einer Kraftkomponente bzw. einer Spannung während eines Schnittvorgangs erreicht werden. Durch die Verkippung kann ein optimales und gleichzeitig schonendes Schneideergebnis erzielt werden. Es wird eine stufenlose Kraftänderung bei einer Bewegung entlang der Schneidkanten im Schneideprozess erreicht, durch die die Faser bei einem Einfädelprozess beschädigungslos gehandhabt wird. Ferner können Schwingungen der Schneiden, hervorgerufen durch ein Aufeinandertreffen der Schneiden im Schneideprozess, vermindert werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann eine Einführschräge vorgesehen sein, die in zumindest einem Bereich einer Schneidkante angeordnet ist und auf einer Seite liegt, die der anderen Schneidkante zugewandt ist. Dadurch kann ein besonders weicher Übergang zu Beginn der Überschneidung der Schneidkanten erreicht werden.It may be particularly advantageous if at least one cutting edge of the first cutting edge and at least one cutting edge of the second cutting edge have a tilt relative to one another, which is intended to set a force component between the cutting edges during a cutting operation by means of the cutting edges. As a result, it is possible in particular to build up a voltage between the cutting edges and / or to achieve a change in a force component or a voltage during a cutting process. By tilting an optimal and at the same time gentle cutting result can be achieved. It is achieved a stepless change in force in a movement along the cutting edges in the cutting process, through which the fiber is handled without damage during a threading process. Furthermore, vibrations of the cutting edges, caused by a meeting of the cutting edges in the cutting process, can be reduced. Alternatively or additionally, an insertion bevel may be provided, which is arranged in at least one region of a cutting edge and lies on one side, which faces the other cutting edge. As a result, a particularly soft transition can be achieved at the beginning of the overlapping of the cutting edges.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass zumindest eine Schneidkante eine Ausformung aufweist, die dazu vorgesehen ist, bei einem Schneidvorgang mittels der Schneidkanten eine Kraftkomponente zwischen den Schneiden einzustellen. Diese Ausformung soll insbesondere eine in Längsrichtung der Schneide ausgebildete Krümmung sein, die einen gleichen Effekt und die gleichen Vorteile wie die Verkippung bewirkt.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that at least one cutting edge has a formation which is provided to set a force component between the cutting edges during a cutting operation by means of the cutting edges. This formation is intended in particular a curvature formed in the longitudinal direction of the cutting edge be, which causes the same effect and the same advantages as the tilt.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die erste Schneide und die zweite Schneide dazu vorgesehen sind, einen Schnitt des Garns nach einem Scherenprinzip auszuführen. Unter "Scherenprinzip" soll hierbei verstanden werden, dass sich die beiden Schneiden unmittelbar vor dem Schnitt in einem Schneidepunkt berühren, der sich in einem Vorgang des Schneidens und somit bei einem aneinander Vorbeigleiten der Schneiden entlang der Längserstreckung der Schneidkanten bewegt. Dies ermöglicht einen exakten und geraden Schnitt der Fasern. Somit können auch zähe Fasern geschnitten werden. Bevorzugt arbeiten die beiden Schneiden nach dem Prinzip einer Schlagschere, wodurch eine große Kraftentwicklung zum Schneiden des Garns gewährleistet werden kann.It is also proposed that the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are intended to perform a cutting of the yarn according to a scissor-type principle. By "scissors principle" is to be understood here that the two cutting edges touch directly in front of the cut in a cutting point, which moves in a process of cutting and thus in a sliding past the cutting edges along the longitudinal extension of the cutting edges. This allows a precise and straight cut of the fibers. Thus, tough fibers can be cut. Preferably, the two cutting work on the principle of a cutting shear, whereby a large power development can be ensured for cutting the yarn.
Vorteilhafterweise ist eine Einstellvorrichtung zur Einstellung wenigstens einer Schneide vorgesehen. Dadurch können beide Schneiden exakt aufeinander abgestimmt werden. Um die Fasern exakt schneiden zu können, müssen die Schneiden 1 µm genau ausgerichtet sein. Besonders vorteilhaft weist die Einstellvorrichtung einen zur elastischen Verformung vorgesehenen Teilbereich auf, wodurch konstruktiv einfach eine Feineinstellung einer Schneidenanordnung erreicht werden kann.Advantageously, an adjusting device for adjusting at least one cutting edge is provided. As a result, both blades can be matched exactly. In order to be able to cut the fibers precisely, the cutting edges must be aligned exactly 1 μm. Particularly advantageously, the adjustment device has a partial region provided for elastic deformation, whereby a fine adjustment of a cutting arrangement can be achieved in a structurally simple manner.
Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine Auffangvorrichtung für die Stapelfasern vorgesehen ist, wobei die Auffangvorrichtung einen Kasten und einen in den Kasten mündenden Schacht aufweist. Der Kasten kann auch durch eine weitere, dem Fachmann als sinnvoll dienende Auffangvorrichtung, wie beispielsweise einen Schacht, ersetzt werden. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht, dass die geschnittenen bzw. abgeschlagenen Fasern direkt ohne Verunreinigungen in das entstehende Vlies bzw. Faserbett gelangen.It is proposed that a collecting device for the staple fibers is provided, wherein the collecting device has a box and a shaft opening into the box. The box can also by another, the skilled person useful as catcher, such as a shaft, to be replaced. This embodiment makes it possible for the cut or severed fibers to pass directly into the resulting fleece or fiber bed without impurities.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Schacht die Schneiden umgibt. Hiermit wird ein Wegfliegen der geschnittenen Fasern wirkungsvoll verhindert, wobei der Schacht als Düse wirkt.It is also proposed that the shaft surround the cutting edges. Hereby, flying away of the cut fibers is effectively prevented, whereby the shaft acts as a nozzle.
Des Weiteren wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auffangvorrichtung eine Absaugungseinrichtung aufweist, um die Entstehung eines Vlieses bzw. Faserbettes zu beschleunigen und insgesamt zu optimieren.Furthermore, it is proposed that the collecting device has an extraction device in order to accelerate the formation of a nonwoven or fiber bed and to optimize it overall.
Außerdem wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auffangvorrichtung eine Separiereinrichtung aufweist, welche die ausgeblasenen und geschnittenen Fasern von der Luft trennt.In addition, it is proposed that the collecting device has a separating device which separates the blown and cut fibers from the air.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung besteht darin, dass eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die mehrere Rotordüsekonverter aufweist. Dadurch kann vorteilhaft eine hohe Durchsatzrate an geschnittenen Stapelfasern erreicht werden.A preferred development is that a device is provided which has a plurality of rotor nozzle converter. As a result, a high throughput rate of cut staple fibers can advantageously be achieved.
Eine kostengünstige Vorrichtung kann vorteilhaft erreicht werden, wenn ein Antrieb vorgesehen ist, welcher die Rotordüsekonverter mindestens teilweise antreibt.An inexpensive device can be advantageously achieved if a drive is provided which at least partially drives the rotor nozzle converter.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn es sich bei dem Antrieb um einen Umschlingungsantrieb mit einem Umschlingungsriemen handelt, welcher eine beidseitige Verzahnung aufweist. Dadurch kann konstruktiv einfach und kostengünstig eine synchron arbeitende Vorrichtung gestaltet werden. Der Umschlingungsriemen kann als Keil-, Flach-, oder Rundriemen, als Kette und/oder besonders vorteilhaft als Zahnriemen ausgebildet sein. Es ist aber auch ein anderer, dem Fachmann als zweckdienlich erscheinender Umschlingungsantrieb denkbar.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the drive is a belt drive with a belt, which has a double-sided toothing. This can constructively simple and inexpensive synchronously working Device are designed. The belt can be designed as a wedge, flat or round belt, as a chain and / or particularly advantageous as a toothed belt. But it is also another conceivable to those skilled in the art as Umschlingungsantrieb conceivable.

Die Zeichnungen, die Beschreibung und die Ansprüche enthalten zahlreiche Merkmale in Kombination. Der Fachmann wird die Merkmale zweckmäßigerweise auch einzeln betrachten und zu sinnvollen weiteren Kombinationen zusammenfassen.Further advantages emerge from the following description of the drawing.

Die
Der Rotor 14 weist einen Kanal 54 zur Durchführung des Garns 12 auf. Im Kanal 54 ist gemäß
Eine Schneide 18 ist über eine unten näher beschriebene Halterung 58 feststehend vor dem Rotor 14 beziehungsweise vor einer Stirnseite 26 des Rotors angebracht. Zusätzlich ist eine zweite Schneide 20 vorgesehen, welche als Gegenschneide zur ersten Schneide 18 wirkt. Die zweite Schneide 20 ist drehbar gelagert. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Schneide 20 am Rotor 14 befestigt und rotiert in Rotationsrichtung 90 mit dem Rotor 14 mit. Es ist jedoch auch vorstellbar, dass die zweite Schneide 20 an einem anderen Bauteil drehbar gelagert ist. Die Schneiden 18, 20 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Stahl, Hartmetall, Keramik oder einem Hybridwerkstoff aus beispielsweise einer beliebigen Mischung der zuvor genannten Materialien. Ferner können die Schneiden 18, 20 zusätzlich eine Beschichtung, beispielsweise aus einer Kohlenstoffverbindung, wie Diamant, aufweisen. Alternativ ist auch die Verwendung eines Lasers, insbesondere eines DiodenLasers, als Schneide denkbar.A
Die zweite Schneide 20 ist oberhalb einer sich in der Stirnseite 26 befindenden Austrittsöffnung 22 des Garns 12 angeordnet, wobei die Austrittsöffnung 22 einen beliebigen Abstand zur Drehachse des Rotors aufweisen kann. Die erste, feststehende Schneide 18 ist derart vor dem Rotor 14 angeordnet, dass nach jeder vollen Drehung des Rotors 14 die Schneiden 18, 20 in einem µm-genau eingestellten Abstand ausgerichtet sind.The
Das mit gleichmäßiger und/oder gestufter Geschwindigkeit, die auch über ein Stufenprogramm variierbar ist, zugeführte Garn 12 wird durch die Düseneinheit 16 in den Kanal 54 des Rotors 14 eingeführt. Das Garn 12 wird in dem Kanal 54 zu der Austrittsöffnung 22 geleitet und das offene Garnende wird aus der Austrittsöffnung 22 ausgetrieben. Bei jeder Umdrehung des Rotors 14 passiert die mitrotierende zweite Schneide 20 die feststehende erste Schneide 18, wobei das Garn 12 sich bei der Rotation zwischen die Schneiden 18, 20 zieht und geschnitten wird.The fed with uniform and / or stepped speed, which is also variable via a step program, supplied
Die beiden Schneiden 18, 20 funktionieren wie eine Schere, insbesondere wie eine Schlagschere. Durch die Rotation der zweiten Schneide 20 müssen sich die beiden Schneiden 18, 20 immer wieder neu treffen. Um einen Schnitt des Garns 12 zu ermöglichen, sind die Schneiden 18, 20 in zwei unterschiedlichen Ebenen angeordnet, die parallel zueinander verlaufen. Als Grenzfall wäre auch möglich, dass die Schneiden 18, 20 in der gleichen Ebene angeordnet sind. Die als Schere wirkenden Schneidkanten 60, 62 der Schneiden 18, 20 liegen zum Zeitpunkt des Treffens und der Ausführung des Schnitts in einer Ebene. Hierbei haben die Schneiden 18, 20 bzw. die Schneidkanten 60, 62 zum Zeitpunkt des Schnitts immer nur jeweils einen Berührpunkt miteinander, der sich im Vorgang des Schneidens und somit bei einem aneinander Vorbeigleiten der Schneiden 18, 20 entlang der Längserstreckung der Schneidkanten 60, 62 bewegt.The two
Wie bereits erwähnt, müssen die beiden Schneiden 18, 20 mit ihren Schneidkanten 60, 62 µm-genau aufeinander abgestimmt sein, um einen exakten Schnitt der zähen Fasern 12, beispielsweise Aramidfasern, zu erzielen, damit die stoßempfindlichen Schneidenwerkstoffe keinen Schaden erleiden und eine hohe Lebensdauer der Schneiden 18, 20 erreicht werden kann. Hierzu ist ein Stellmittel 92 für die Schneiden 18, 20 vorgesehen, wobei das Stellmittel 92 zur Ausrichtung der Schneiden 18, 20 dient. Es ist beispielsweise an der Halterung 58 der zweiten Schneide 18 angeordnet. Mittels des Stellmittels 92 kann beispielsweise eine Verkippung und/oder eine Vorspannung der Schneiden 18, 20 eingestellt werden. In
Wird das Verstellelement 70 entlang der Schräge 72 des Verbindungselements 66 verschoben, kann eine Grobeinstellung der Schneiden 18, 20 erreicht werden. Dabei entspricht beispielsweise eine Verschiebung von 3 mm ungefähr einer Änderung eines Spalts 80 zwischen den Schneidenkanten 60, 62 in seiner horizontalen Erstreckung von 100 µm. In der gewünschten Position wird das Verstellelement 70 fixiert. Zur Feineinstellung wird die Tellerfeder 76 verwendet, wodurch ein Schnittspalt auf eine Faserstärke eines Faserstrangs eingestellt werden kann. Über eine Änderung der Vorspannungskraft der Feder 76 wird über die Verformung des teilelastischen Verbindungselements 66 der Spalt 80 in seiner vertikalen Erstreckung angepasst. Dabei kann beispielsweise der Spalt 80 um 1 µm verändert werden, wenn die Feder 76 um 15° verstellt wird.If the adjusting
Nach dem Schnitt sollen die Fasern zur direkten Herstellung eines Vlieses bzw. eines Faserbetts dienen. Vorteilhafterweise sollten die geschnittenen bzw. abgeschlagenen Fasern direkt auf das entstehende Vlies bzw. Faserbett fallen. Die Stärke des zugeführten Druckluftstroms hat jedoch Auswirkungen auf das Fallen bzw. die Ablage der Fasern. Um ein Verwirbeln sowie Wegfliegen der geschnittenen und ausgeblasenen Fasern zu verhindern, ist erfindungsgemäß eine Auffangvorrichtung 28 gemäß
Gemäß
Der Rotordüsekonverter 10 dient nicht nur zum Konvertieren der Endlosgarne in Stapelfasern, sondern auch zum Dosieren der Fasermenge pro Zeiteinheit und/oder der gewünschten Länge der Faserstücke. Die Längeneinstellung ist über die Zuführgeschwindigkeit des Garns 12 und/oder die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit des Rotors 14 einstellbar, wobei auch eine stufenlose Dosierung möglich ist.The
